Raymond Unveils Demerger of Real Estate Business, Eyes Fresh Investors
Real Estate News:Raymond Limited, a leading Indian conglomerate, has announced its decision to demerge its real estate business into a separate listed entity, Raymond Realty Limited (RRL). This strategic move aims to unlock the growth potential of the real estate business and attract fresh investors to participate in the industry. According to Gautam Singhania, Managing Director of Raymond Ltd, 'This strategy to demerge the Real Estate business into a separate company that will be listed through automatic route is another step to enhance shareholder value.'

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.

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.
