RIL, India's largest private sector enterprise, will issue about 34-crore additional equity shares of market value of approximately Rs 11,000 crore. RIL sold 4% stake in RPL taking its stake down to 71%.
Reacting to the RIL-RPL merger news, Dipan Mehta, Member, Bombay Stock Exchange, said this is what the company management has been doing over the years. "Forming separate companies and then merging them." Mehta further said that net-net it really makes no difference for the performance of either of the companies. "But I think they will create a feel good effect in both the stocks," he added. "In times like this, even a bit of positive news would help."

Q: What do you expect is going to be the reception of this news on Monday? How do you expect the two shares to move?

This is what the company management has been doing over the years forming separate companies and then merging with them. Net-net makes really no difference for the performance of either of the companies. However, I think they will create a feel good effect in both the stocks. In times like this even a little bit of positive news would help. I think by and large it would just create a positive sentiment for both the stocks. Operationally, RPL stands to gain more but then we have to understand exactly how they are going to adjust the ratio and net-net what the shareholders are going to get in RPL.
