Motilal Oswal Financial Services (MOFSL) retained its ‘Buy’ rating on Power Finance Corporation Ltd and REC Ltd, citing potential operating synergies from their proposed merger. The brokerage noted that the merger could lead to greater scale and stability in the power financing sector, easing competitive intensity between the two PSUs.

The PFC board has granted in-principle approval for the merger, which is anticipated to strengthen bargaining power with lenders and streamline overlapping functions. This development is significant for traders as it may enhance the market position of the merged entity.
