GMR Infrastructure Limited (GIL) becomes India's first pure-play airport company listed on stock exchanges, the company said in a statement on Tuesday.
GMR Infrastructure Limited shares on Tuesday started trading on bourses first time after the demerger of its non-airports business -- GMR Infrastructure Limited into GMR Power and Urban Infrastructure Limited (GPUIL).
After the demerger, the existing shareholders of GMR Infrastructure will receive 1 equity share of Rs 5 (face value) each of GMR Power and Urban Infra Limited for holding 10 equity shares of Rs 1 (face value) share of each GMR Infrastructure Limited.
The demerger happened through a vertical split and resulted in listed companies - GIL and GPUIL and mirror shareholding of the both.

GPUIL shares will start trading independently on the stock exchange in February 2022 after approvals from SEBI/stock exchanges.
