Hi Sougata, I dont have any views on this, although read about it in an article

I’ll paraphrase from this magazine which is a great source to read up on current M&A deals

Key Pointers as covered in the article in it:

  • Refex Industries has a Wholly owned subsidiary Refex Green Mobility which has this cabs business. In Step-1 this will merge with Refex Industries. In step 2, it will again demerge into a separate listed company with mirror shareholding as per Refex Industries.
  • This green cabs business was started in 2023 itself and is very small. Topline ~29 crs and Loss 7 Crs. Refex consol. topline is 2468 crs and PAT 158 crs - so this business only ~1% of topline

My words=> Listing it out separately right now is a bit puzzling as not sure what valuation this tiny business will get. Another puzzling thing is low consol. debt of group but pledge of promoter shares of ~27%

Disc.: I have no idea about the company/business - just paraphrasing here from the magazine article (as i didnt want to share screen clippings - ppl can subscribe as monthly price is just Rs.150/-). Plus saw the promoter pledge on the exchange, which is a bit puzzling.
