Shares of Siemens Ltd. rose nearly 8% on Wednesday to hit over one-month high after it received National Company Law Tribunal's approval for the demerger of the company's energy business arm — Siemens Energy India Ltd.
Siemens Energy India will be listed separately on the stock exchanges.
As part of the restructuring, shareholders of Siemens will get one share of the demerged entity for every share held by them in the company, according to an exchange filing on Tuesday. The record date for the share allotment has been set as April 7.
Notably, the demerger exercise comes around five years after Siemens AG—the global parent of the Indian company—demerged its energy business globally in 2020.
