SCI Land & Assets to debut on bourses on March 19 under T2T category

MUMBAI : Shipping Corporation of India Land and Assets (SCILAL), a demerged entity of Shipping Corporation of India (SCI), will debut exchanges on March 19, 2024 under the T2T category. According to reports, SCILAL received final listing and trading approval for listing its 46 crore shares of Rs 10 each from the BSE and NSE.

Under the T2T (trade-to-trade) category, stocks can only be traded on a delivery basis. This means that when one buys T2T stocks, an investor or trader is required to pay the full amount for the stock and intra-day is not allowed by design.

The value of SCILAL’s non-core assets stood at Rs 2,392 crore as on March 31, 2022, balance sheet data showed. The demerger of SCI and SCILAL into separate entities was approved by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs in February 2023.

SCILAL’s total income rose 34 percent year-on-year (YoY) to Rs 256 crore in Q3FY24 from Rs 190 crore in Q3FY23. Profit, on the other hand, was flat at Rs 151 crore from Rs 152 crore in the year-ago period.
