Raymond Ltd's Real Estate Business Split Boosts Shares to 52-Week High
Real Estate Mumbai:Raymond Limited's shares reached a new 52-week high on Friday, surging over 12% to Rs 3,299.60. The company's decision to demerge its Real Estate Business into a wholly-owned subsidiary, Raymond Realty Limited (RRL), has sent the stock soaring. This strategic move will result in both Raymond Ltd and Raymond Realty Limited operating as separate listed entities within the Raymond Group, pending statutory approvals.

The demerger is a significant development for Raymond's Real Estate Business, which has achieved impressive growth, reporting a revenue of INR 1,593 crore in FY24, a 43% year-on-year increase, and an EBITDA of INR 370 crore. Raymond Realty owns approximately 100 acres of land in Thane, with around 11.4 million square feet of RERA-approved carpet area, of which about 40 acres are currently under development. The company has five ongoing projects on this land, worth Rs 9,000 crore, and an additional potential to generate over Rs 16,000 crore, resulting in a total potential revenue of over Rs 25,000 crore from this land bank.

Adopting an asset-light model, Raymond Realty has recently launched its first Joint Development Agreement (JDA) project in Bandra, Mumbai. Additionally, Raymond has signed three new JDAs in Mahim, Sion, and another in Bandra East, Mumbai. These four JDA projects in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region have a combined revenue potential exceeding Rs 7,000 crore. With the Thane Land Bank developments and current JDAs, the company's potential revenue reaches Rs 32,000 crore.

Gautam Hari Singhania, Chairman & Managing Director, Raymond Limited, said, 'Having stated that now we have clear three vectors of growth at Raymond group i.e. Lifestyle, Real Estate and Engineering, this corporate action is in line with creating shareholder value creation. This strategy to demerge the Real Estate business into a separate company that will be listed through automatic route is another step to enhance the shareholder value.'

The existing shareholders of Raymond Limited will receive one share of RRL for each share they hold in Raymond Ltd, providing them with an opportunity to benefit from the growth potential of the Real Estate Business,
