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.

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.
