The demerger will result in the creation of two separate listed entities within the Raymond Group - Raymond Ltd and Raymond Realty Limited. Each shareholder of Raymond Ltd will receive one share of Raymond Realty for every one share held in Raymond Ltd. The standalone operational revenue of the real estate division stood at ₹1,592.65 crore in the last fiscal, accounting for 24% of the total revenue of Raymond Ltd.
Raymond Realty Limited will seek automatic listing on stock exchanges, and the company expects to attract new investors and strategic partners to participate in the real estate business. The real estate business has achieved significant scale, reporting revenue of ₹1,593 crore and EBITDA of ₹370 crore in FY24, positioning it well to chart its own growth path as a separate entity.
Raymond Realty has a significant land bank of around 100 acres in Thane, with a RERA-approved carpet area of 11.4 million sq ft. The company has five ongoing projects worth ₹9,000 crore on its Thane land, with an additional potential to generate more than ₹16,000 crore, making a total potential revenue of over ₹25,000 crore from this land bank.
The demerger aligns with Raymond Group's stated objectives of simplifying its corporate structure and enhancing shareholder value for operational and structural benefits.
