HEG Completes Demerger, Separates Graphite Electrode Business into New Entity
HEG Limited completed a demerger on September 7, 2026, separating its graphite electrode business into a new entity, HEG Graphite Limited, while the existing company was renamed HEG Advanced Materials. Shareholders received one share in the new company for each share held. The demerger led to an apparent 64-65% drop in HEG Advanced Materials' share price due to price adjustment excluding the graphite business. HEG Advanced Materials plans a ₹5,500 crore capital expenditure focusing on synthetic graphite anode materials and energy solutions, targeting commercial scale by FY28 and listing HEG Graphite by October 2026.
