Company sources said the Reliance Infrastructure’s board had appointed a committee of whole-time directors to explore de-merger opportunities and the board had approved the final de-merger scheme on February 25.

While the electricity division generated a turnover of Rs 7,183 crore for the financial year ending March 31,2009, the EPC division, which has an order book position of Rs 20,625 crore, had generated revenues of Rs 2437 crore during the period.

On the infrastructure side, the company is executing five road projects in Tamil Nadu and is developing a 66-kilometer road between Gurgaon and Faridabad in Haryana. The company is also developing two metro rail projects in Delhi and Mumbai worth over Rs 5200 crore, besides a business district and a 100-storey tower in Hyderabad. The de-merger is now subject to requisite approvals.
