# HEG fixes September 7 as record date for demerger 2026-08-25T16:48:21+00:00 | Business & Economy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets HEG Ltd has set September 7 as the record date for its demerger, under which its graphite electrodes business will be transferred to HEG Graphite, a new listed entity. Shareholders will receive one equity share of face value Rs 2 in the resulting company for every one share held, a 1:1 entitlement. As part of the scheme, Bhilwara Energy will be amalgamated with HEG, with HEG issuing eight equity shares for every seven held in Bhilwara Energy. The existing listed company will retain advanced materials, battery energy, and green power businesses and will be renamed HEG Advanced Materials. Ravi Jhunjhunwala will lead HEG Graphite as Chairman, MD, and CEO from September 1, while Riju Jhunjhunwala has been appointed Chairman, MD, and CEO of HEG Advanced Materials for a five-year term. The Hindu Businessline and NDTV Profit both report the development as a routine corporate restructuring, with NDTV Profit also noting a 2.55% dip in HEG's share price to Rs 702.25 on the BSE. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both sources cover the demerger as a neutral corporate announcement, with no political or ideological slant. The Hindu Businessline leads with the operational completion of the demerger steps, while NDTV Profit frames it from the shareholder perspective, adding a stock price update. Neither outlet omits or exaggerates any detail, making the coverage uniform straight reporting. The implication is that this is a straightforward corporate action with no controversy, investors should watch for the September 7 record date and the subsequent listing of HEG Graphite shares. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 2 neutral - thehindubusinessline.com (neutral report) Leads with operational steps, no slant - ndtvprofit.com (neutral report) Focuses on shareholder impact, adds stock price This brief was synthesised by AI from the 2 sources linked above, so one read covers every framing they carry.
