What are media reports saying?
According to media reports, the company is evaluating a potential restructuring plan that may involve carving out its lighting and consumer products business from the steel pipes and strips segment.

While the company has not officially confirmed the development, reports of a possible demerger have sparked interest among investors and market participants.
