Introduction
Raymond Ltd will split off its real estate business and form Raymond Realty Ltd as a separate entity. This new company will seek automatic listing on stock exchanges, with each share of Raymond receiving one share in this new entity according to a scheme of arrangement.
This move is in keeping with creating shareholder value, opening up growth potential in real estate while drawing targeted investors to our business.
Pros
Raymond has recently made headlines not due to any significant development but because of a family feud between Chairman and Managing Director Gautam Singhania and his wife. Investors, however, remain unaffected by this dispute and continue to show trust in Raymond; Motilal Oswal has even initiated coverage with a “Buy” rating and target price of Rs 2,600 on this stock.
National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) granted the company permission to carry out a comprehensive corporate restructuring plan that involves demerger of engineering business from JK Files & Engineering Limited (JKFEL) to Raymond Engineering Limited (REL) as part of a plan that will result in zero net debt for the group while unlocking value in various businesses. The scheme involves demerger of engineering business from JKFEL to Raymond Engineering Limited (REL), merger of RPAL & MPPL arms into JKTTL as well as divesting aerospace/defence business from JKTTL into RGCEL.
Cons
NCLT approval of Raymond’s vertical demerger of its real estate business into wholly owned subsidiary Raymond Realty Ltd (RRL) opens the way for both businesses to capitalize on growth opportunities and enhance operational synergies, while attracing new investments and unlocking shareholder value. Raymond expects the real estate business will contribute significantly towards group revenues over the next four to five years.
According to Raymond’s estimates, their real estate business has achieved significant scale and reported revenue of Rs 1,593 crore (43% YoY growth) and EBITDA of Rs 370 crore in FY24 – positioning it well for independent growth as a standalone entity. Furthermore, simplification will enable independent teams with industry specific expertise to better hone and customize investment strategies based on sector dynamics – further increasing brand equity and institutional strength while more efficiently and effectively allocating capital resources.

Expectations
Leaders set expectations for their teams as guidelines and rules that employees must abide by to achieve success in work. These expectations can include everything from meeting project deadlines on time, displaying positive attitudes and professionalism and adhering to any necessary protocols or processes for the workplace. In general, however, expectations differ widely depending on workplace settings; each employee should receive specific advice based on his or her job title or function.
Raymond anticipates various growth drivers such as economic recovery and rebound in demand will positively influence its expansion plans, positioning the company well for success in fiscal 2024. However, fluctuation of raw material prices and changing fashion trends remain potential threats that must be managed carefully in order to remain successful.
Raymond explained that by spinning off its real estate business and consolidating consumer trading arm with Raymond Lifestyle, their corporate structure will become more focused and streamlined, unlocking value within each of these distinct businesses and providing investors with more options when allocating portfolios across each of these business verticals.
Conclusions
Last month, the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) granted Raymond’s comprehensive restructuring plan approval, including demerger of its lifestyle business and amalgamation of Ray Global Consumer Trading into Raymond Lifestyle. This move should lead to a more streamlined corporate structure and unlock potential value of Raymond’s various business verticals.
This plan will enable the company to better allocate funding and strategic initiatives across its different businesses while improving operational efficiencies and increasing operational efficiencies. Furthermore, this should strengthen its liquidity position and attract a specific investor base for each business segment.
Additionally, this will give the company more flexibility to explore joint venture/development opportunities with a wider array of partners, which will ultimately allow it to reach greater heights of success – which in turn benefits both itself and its investors in the long run. Raymond Group is India’s largest worsted suiting manufacturer offering end-to-end solutions for fabrics, garmenting and high value cotton shirting as well as textile/apparel products like prophylactics/blazers/engineering components across domestic and international markets.
