Limited is held by SJVN Limited, making STPL its
wholly owned subsidiary. Accordingly, the continued
existence of STPL as a separate legal entity does not
offer any significant incremental benefit. Rather, maintaining a separate corporate structure entails
duplication of administrative and operational functions,
multiplicity of statutory and regulatory compliances,
additional expenditure and increased deployment of
managerial and organisational resources. Hence,
merger of STPL into the Company would therefore
facilitate the consolidation of operations, elimination of
overlapping functions, rationalisation of resources,
reduction in compliance and administrative costs, and
improved operational efficiency, thereby serving the
overall interests of both companies.</in-capmkt:RationaleForAmalgamationOrMerger><in-capmkt:NatureOfConsiderationForAmalgamationOrMerger contextRef="OneD">Others</in-capmkt:NatureOfConsiderationForAmalgamationOrMerger><in-capmkt:DetailsOfConsiderationForAmalgamationOrMerger contextRef="OneI">Since the merger is proposed between the Company
