    As part of the demerger deal, ITC will retain 40% of the hotel shareholding, and the remaining 60% will be distributed equally among existing ITC shareholders.

    ITC is yet to announce the listing date as it requires regulatory approval. However, the market expects the stock exchange to list by mid-February.

    ITC said the demerger will help the hotel business attract suitable investors and strategic partners/collaborators whose investment strategies and risk profiles are more closely aligned with the hospitality industry.

    Additionally, it will unlock the value of the hotels business with its independent market-based valuation by providing the company’s shareholders with a direct stake in the new entity. The company’s move also reinforces the aggressive capital allocation strategy it has put in place in recent years, which has manifested itself in the hotels business as a major form of ‘asset-right’ strategy.
