Demerger not to affect synergies between ITC's other businesses: Analysts

The proposed demerger of the hotels division of ITC into a separate entity will not affect synergies with other business lines of the conglomerate, according to analysts. The board of ITC on Monday accorded in-principle approval to demerge its hotels business into a new entity to be listed pursuant to a scheme of arrangement. Broking firm JM Financial said in a report "synergies between hotels and other ITC businesses like foods should largely remain unaffected". The firm said that ITC will continue to hold 40 per cent shareholding in the new entity post-demerger and the balance of 60 per cent will be owned by the shareholders. This, according to JM Financial, will help the demerged business to raise and deploy its own capital to fund growth of the hotel business and ensure it remains on top amongst peers. This move of demerger will also point towards a sharper capital allocation strategy of ITC, the report said. Another firm Nuvama Research said that ITC has addressed the key ..
