Dubai's Emaar Properties says to reorganise India unit through demerger

DUBAI (Reuters) - Dubai's Emaar Properties plans to reorganise its Indian business through a demerger, the emirate's biggest property developer said in a bourse statement on Wednesday.

Emaar will demerge from its India-based joint venture Emaar MGF Land Limited, which will "enable Emaar to implement focused strategy for its real estate business in India and will allow the business to undertake future expansion strategies," the developer said.
