Burman family-backed Religare Enterprises’ share price is set to be in focus of the stock market investors on Monday, 16 February 2026, following the company’s announcement of its demerger update, according to an exchange filing on Saturday, 14 February.
This demerger comes as the first major restructuring move since February 2025, after the Burmans carried out a hostile takeover of the company from Religare’s former management.
Religare demerger details
As per the NSE filing, Religare Enterprises, post the demerger, will form two entities named Religare Enterprises Ltd (REL) and Religare Finvest Ltd (RFL) for the respective shareholders, subject to the necessary approvals from the regulators, stakeholders and creditors.
“We wish to inform you that the Board of Directors of the company after considering recommendations in the Report of the Audit & Governance Committee and Committee of Independent Directors, at its meeting held today, viz, 14 February 2026, has, inter alia, considered and approved the Scheme of Arrangement between Religare Enterprises Limited and Religare Finvest Limited,” the company informed the stock exchanges.
In the official statement the Religare said that REL will issue fully paid-up equity shares to Religare Enterprise shareholders at a 1:1 ratio, and after the corporate action, RFL’s stakeholding pattern will mirror REL’s pre-demerger stake levels.
“As consideration for the demerger, RFL will issue fully paid-up equity shares to REL shareholders on a 1:1 basis. Post-demerger, RFL’s shareholding pattern will mirror REL’s pre-demerger shareholding,” the company said.
Through this move, Religare plans to separate its financial services and insurance businesses into two entities in an effort to streamline operations, listing RFL on the stock market, and to have focused management attention.
“This transaction is expected to broaden our combined investor base, reduce complexity, and create two well-capitalized platforms ready to pursue their strategic ambitions independently,” said Pratul Gupta, Chief Financial Officer, Religare Enterprises.
