What happened
On 15 October 2026, the boards of SGH Realty Private Limited and Truevalue Infrabuild Private Limited approved a scheme of amalgamation. Under the scheme, Truevalue Infrabuild, the transferor company, will merge into SGH Realty, the transferee company, on a going-concern basis. The Phoenix Mills Limited, the listed parent, filed an intimation of the decision on 15 October 2026 under Regulation 30 of the SEBI Listing Regulations.
The merger is a step-down restructuring. Truevalue Infrabuild sits one level below Phoenix Mills, under SGH Realty. The boards approved the scheme on the same day, but the scheme still needs approval from the Regional Director or the National Company Law Tribunal, as applicable, along with other statutory and regulatory consents.
Legal route and approvals
The amalgamation will be carried out under Sections 230 to 233 of the Companies Act, 2013, read with the relevant rules. The Audit Committee of The Phoenix Mills Limited has given the approval required under Regulation 23 of the SEBI Listing Regulations, because the two companies are related parties under Section 2(76) of the Companies Act.
The filing says the scheme will take effect only after the required approvals are received. Once it becomes effective, the entire issued, subscribed and paid-up share capital of Truevalue Infrabuild will be automatically cancelled.
