Shares of gas-related companies were in focus on Monday following state-run Gujarat Gas plan of realigning its business units. On Friday post market hours, Gujarat Gas announced the merger of Gujarat State Petronet Limited (GSPL) and Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation (GSPC) with itself.
Further, the Gujarat Gas and GSPL board also approved the demerger of the gas transmission unit into a separate entity once the above mentioned merger process is completed.
Analysts believe that the restructuring of these Gujarat companies will simplify the existing layered structure, and thus are upbeat on the future prospects.
