ITC’s current plans include setting up an “alternative business structure” specifically for the hotels business segment.

ITC chairman Sanjiv Puri said: “In the 2019-20 annual report, we had said that we would be creating an alternative structure for our hotels business. But we had to put the decision on hold due to the pandemic as the industry was not doing well. We will be taking the plan forward in line with the industry recovery dynamic.”

One of the major reasons to reconsider this demerger proposal was the “stellar recovery” achieved by the hotels segment during the previous year.
