Deep Industries Ltd has taken a strategic step toward operational consolidation by approving the amalgamation of its wholly owned subsidiary, Kandla Energy & Chemicals Ltd (KECL), into the parent entity. The move, greenlit by the Board of Directors on June 30, 2025, is aimed at streamlining the corporate structure, enhancing synergies, and unlocking long-term shareholder value.
Here’s a detailed breakdown of the transaction and its broader implications.
Key Highlights of the Amalgamation
- The scheme of amalgamation has been approved under Sections 230 to 232 of the Companies Act, 2013
- Kandla Energy & Chemicals Ltd, previously acquired by Deep Onshore Services (a Deep Industries subsidiary), will now be fully integrated into Deep Industries Ltd
- The amalgamation is subject to necessary approvals from shareholders, creditors, regulatory authorities, and the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT)
- The move follows the NCLT Ahmedabad Bench’s earlier approval of Deep Onshore’s acquisition of KECL on a going concern basis under liquidation
Strategic Rationale and Business Impact
- The merger is expected to simplify the group’s legal and operational structure, reducing compliance costs and administrative overhead
- It will enable better resource allocation, unified decision-making, and improved financial reporting across the group
- KECL’s assets and operations will be absorbed into Deep Industries’ core business, enhancing its capabilities in energy services and infrastructure
- The integration supports Deep’s long-term strategy of expanding its footprint in oilfield services, gas compression, and energy infrastructure
Financial and Operational Context
- Deep Industries has maintained a robust order book exceeding Rs 2,700 crore, with strong execution across gas dehydration, drilling, and compression services
- The company has been actively pursuing inorganic growth opportunities to diversify its revenue streams and strengthen its balance sheet
- The amalgamation is expected to be earnings-accretive over the medium term, with potential tax and operational efficiencies
As Deep Industries moves forward with the merger, the consolidation of Kandla Energy & Chemicals marks a pivotal step in its evolution into a more agile, integrated, and growth-focused energy solutions provider.
