Raymond Unlocks Real Estate Potential with Demerger and Listing
Real Estate Mumbai:Textile major Raymond Ltd has announced plans to demerge its real estate business to unlock value for shareholders and tap into the growth potential of the Indian property market. The company's board has approved the scheme of arrangement, which involves the demerger of Raymond Ltd into Raymond Realty Ltd.

Each shareholder of Raymond Ltd will receive one share of Raymond Realty for every one share held in Raymond Ltd. The real estate division's standalone operational revenue stood at Rs 1,592.65 crore in the last fiscal, accounting for 24% of Raymond Ltd's total revenue.

The demerger is subject to requisite approvals and sanction from the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) and approval from shareholders and/or creditors, central government, or other competent authorities. Upon the scheme coming into effect, Raymond Realty will issue 6,65,73,731 equity shares of Rs 10 each to the equity shareholders of Raymond Ltd.

The shares will be listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE). The company aims to reorganize its real estate business and attract fresh investors and strategic partners.
