The acquisitions are steps in ITC’s preparation to demerge its hotel business into a new entity named ITC Hotels, which will oversee more than 140 luxury properties under various brands.

The demerger, which received shareholder approval in June 2024, is progressing as planned and is expected to be completed in the coming months. Initially approved by the board in August 2023, the arrangement will result in ITC retaining a 40% stake in the new entity, with the remaining 60% owned by its shareholders, who will receive one share of ITC Hotels for every ten shares held in ITC.
