ITC's demerger of its hotels business into a new entity will help improve the conglomerate's financial ratios through reinforced capital allocation, while still retaining institutional synergies between the hotels and fast moving consumer goods business, said chairman Sanjiv Puri.
The entity, likely to be called ITC Hotels, will be listed on the bourses pursuant to receipt of appropriate regulatory approvals
The decision to not do a full split of ITC's newly carved hotel business came as a negative surprise for market participants, fueling a 4% slide in the stock on July 24.
ITC Ltd said on Monday it would spin off its hotels business from the rest of the company, separating it from its cigarettes and food businesses.
