Raymond to Unlock Real Estate Potential with Demerger and Listing
Real Estate:Raymond Limited has announced a major strategic move to demerge its real estate business into a separate entity, Raymond Realty Limited (RRL), which will be listed on stock exchanges through an automatic route.

The demerger aligns with Raymond Group's objectives of simplifying its corporate structure and enhancing shareholder value. Each Raymond Ltd shareholder will receive one share of Raymond Realty for every one share held in Raymond Ltd, subject to the requisite approvals and sanction of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) and other competent authorities.
