Maharashtra Seamless Limited to Demerger Operations into Two Separate Entities​

Maharashtra Seamless Limited has approved a scheme of arrangement detailing the demerger of two key operational units into two new, dedicated companies: MSL Seamless Tubes Limited (MSTL) and United Seamless Limited (USL). The corporate restructuring aims to enable specialized focus and independent growth strategies for each distinct business vertical. The scheme includes an Appointed Date of October 1, 2026.

The proposed scheme involves demerging two significant units from Maharashtra Seamless Limited. These include:

1. Demerged Undertaking 1: This unit encompasses the seamless pipe manufacturing business located at Mangaon, Maharashtra, with a capacity of 125,000 MTPA. It also includes a captive solar power plant at Beed, Maharashtra, generating 10 MW, alongside related assets and liabilities.
2. Demerged Undertaking 2: This facility is located at Narketpally, Telangana, with a capacity of 200,000 MTPA. The unit also incorporates solar power plants at Khetusar (20 MW) and Pokhran (5MW) in Rajasthan, and the rig Jindal Explorer, along with all associated assets and liabilities.

Operational Turnover of Demerged Units​

Based on financials for the last financial year, the demerger units accounted for a combined turnover of Rs. 952 crores, representing 20.00% of the total turnover of Maharashtra Seamless Limited. The financial breakdown is as follows:

UndertakingOperational Turnover for FY 2025-26 (Rs. crores)Percentage of Total Turnover (%)

Demerged Undertaking 269314.84%
Remaining Operations318568.18%
Total4671100.00%

Rationale for Restructuring​

The board determined that the operational businesses of the Demerged Company are diverse, spanning different geographies, product profiles, technologies, and customer bases. The proposed demerger is designed to achieve greater operational efficiency, focused management, and optimum utilization of resources.

Specific benefits expected from the demerger include:

  • Focused Business Operations: The manufacturing units and operations in Mangaon, Telangana, and other areas serve different industry segments and product portfolios, allowing each resulting company to function as a focused and independent business vertical.
  • Technology-Specific Operational Focus: Since the facilities operate on different technological platforms (such as CPE technology at Nagothane, MPM technology at Mangaon, and FQM technology at Telangana), the restructuring supports technology-focused growth and specialized operational management.
  • Enhanced Strategic Alignment: Segregating the undertakings allows for business strategies to be tailored to the distinct end-user sectors served by each segment.
  • Efficient Capital Allocation: The different capital intensities of the manufacturing, drilling, and renewable energy businesses will enable better assessment and focused deployment of capital for future growth.

Shareholding and Exchange Details​

The scheme includes a share exchange mechanism to ensure that the resulting companies maintain a mirror shareholding structure with the Demerged Company.

The shareholding pattern in the resulting entities is indicative, with the following proposed structure:

ParticularsPre-Scheme (Total)Post Scheme (Indicative)
Promoter & Promoter Group1,00,0001,88,34,506 (70.2784%)
PublicNA79,65,344 (29.7216%)
Total1,00,0002,67,99,850 (100.0000%)

The scheme specifies that shareholders of the Demerged Company will receive shares in the two resulting companies based on the ratio of one equity share of Resulting Company 1 and one equity share of Resulting Company 2 for every five equity shares of the Demerged Company.

The restructuring is anticipated to result in the listing and admission to trading of the equity shares of MSTL and USL on both the BSE and NSE. The scheme confirms that there is no cash consideration being discharged, and existing liabilities of the undertakings will be assumed and discharged by their respective resulting companies.
