According to the plan, the shareholders of Raymond Ltd will be entitled to one share of Raymond Realty for each share held
Raymond Ltd. has consented to a demerger plan to split its real estate business into a new establishment named Raymond Realty Limited. The aim of this strategic move is to draw new investors by opening up the value of its real estate operations. According to the plan, the shareholders of Raymond Ltd. will be entitled to one share of Raymond Realty for each share held with no cash or other considerations involved.
Listed on both the NSE and BSE, Raymond Realty has significant assets, including 100 acres in Thane with huge growth potential. Joint development agreements that assure significant profit generation are some of the high-value projects in Mumbai, that Raymond Realty is currently engaged in. The business was reported to secure a strong performance in FY24 with revenues of Rs. 1,593 crore and EBITDA of Rs. 370 crore, up 43% annual growth. Following a comparable move with its lifestyle business, this demerger was part of Raymond's strategy to improve shareholder value, as confirmed by the Chairman and Managing Director, Gautam Harisinghania. Accelerating growth opportunities and streamlining operations are the primary objectives of this demerger.
Shares of Raymond Ltd. closed almost unchanged at Rs. 2,935.45 on July 4, reflecting market expectations after the announcement.
