Merger

By Orders dated 18th October 2000, the High Court of Judicature at Bombay sanctioned the arrangement embodied in the scheme of Amalgamation of The Andhra Valley Power Supply Co. Ltd. and The Tata Hydro-Electric Power Supply Co. Ltd. with The Tata Power Co. Ltd., effective 1st of April 2000.

Merger Benefits

With the emerging scenario of economic liberalisation and globalisation, the Companies began to face several operational handicaps. Tata Electric becoming a single entity was an appropriate step towards overcoming such and other limitations.

The single large merged company has stronger balance sheet and greater leverage to participate in large projects. This will also bring about greater liquidity of the Company's stocks.
