Prestige Estates Proposes Raising Rs 5,000 Crore to Boost Hospitality Business
Real Estate:Prestige Estates Projects, a leading real estate developer in India, has proposed raising Rs 5,000 crore from institutional investors to bolster its hospitality business. The company's board has approved a plan to raise funds through a public sale of shares to institutional investors or other permissible modes. This move is expected to unlock value and alleviate cash flow stress associated with its capital expenditure plan in the hospitality segment.

The Bengaluru-based company is considering two options to monetize its hospitality business. One option is to create a real estate investment trust (REIT), which could be the first hotel REIT in India. The other option is to pursue an initial public offering (IPO) to raise capital. The company has established a subcommittee to supervise the process of monetizing its hospitality business.

Prestige Estates Projects has been expanding its hospitality portfolio and plans to double its capacity over the next 3-4 years with a total investment of Rs 1,700 crore. The company currently has 1,849 keys of hospitality assets across the country under various brands from the Hilton and Marriott portfolios.

The proposed fundraising plan is part of the company's strategy to hive off its businesses, including office, retail, and hospitality, to make them self-sustainable and raise capital against them. In April, the Prestige Group raised Rs 2,000 crore in a residential platform deal with the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority and Kotak AIF.
