Phoenix Mills Ltd has announced that its subsidiary, SGH Realty Private Limited, and step-down subsidiary, Truevalue Infrabuild Private Limited, have approved a scheme of amalgamation, subject to the requisite statutory and regulatory approvals.
In an exchange filing on October 15, 2026, the company said the boards of SGH Realty, the transferee company, and Truevalue Infrabuild, the transferor company, approved the scheme at their respective board meetings held on the same day.
The amalgamation will be carried out on a going-concern basis under Sections 230 to 233 and other applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013, read with the relevant rules. The scheme is subject to approval from the Regional Director (RD) or the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), as applicable, along with other requisite statutory and regulatory approvals and consents.
Why are Phoenix Mills’ subsidiaries being merged?
According to the exchange filing, the proposed amalgamation aims to simplify and unify the business structure, reduce administrative, legal and statutory compliance costs, and improve operational efficiency by avoiding duplication of efforts.
The merger is also intended to establish an administrative structure that provides the required management depth and focus, create enhanced value for shareholders, and enable a more focused operational strategy in the interests of shareholders, employees and other stakeholders.
Another objective is to consolidate the transferor company’s assets, including movable and immovable properties, and enhance their value through the development of its immovable properties.
