its long term capital loss, capital loss can be forwarded or not .....for that look into STT payment, if STT paid on switchover then no carry forward, otherwise u can carry forward upto 8 years for set off

Yes, it is clear that the old units have been transferred and new units have been purchased in a different scheme. New units are different from the old one in any manner. It will be a long term capital loss.
