Raymond Unlocks Real Estate Potential with Demerger and Listing Plans
Real Estate:In a move to unlock value for shareholders and tap into the growth potential of the Indian property market, textile major Raymond Ltd has announced plans to demerge its real estate business and list it on exchanges. The company's board has approved the scheme of arrangement, which will see the creation of a new entity, Raymond Realty Ltd, and the listing of its shares on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE).

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

The development of the Thane land bank and the current four JDAs gives a potential revenue of Rs 32,000 crore to the company. According to Gautam Hari Singhania, Chairman cum Managing Director of Raymond Ltd, the demerger is part of the company's strategy to create shareholder value and unlock the growth potential of its businesses.\n\nRaymond Ltd is India's largest integrated worsted suiting manufacturer, offering end-to-end solutions for fabric and garmenting.
