DLF's sale of Aman Resorts nearly complete, to retain Delhi property

02 Dec 2011 Evaluate

DLF, the country’s largest property developer, is likely to conclude the Aman Resorts deal by early 2012. The aim is to do so before the financial year is over. It has been in negotiation with many bidders for several months to offload its stake in Aman Resorts, the hotel chain. The company has got final bids from four to five companies and bankers are close to finalising the deal. DLF would offload its stake in the chain, while retaining the Delhi Aman property.

Khazanah, the Malaysian government’s wealth fund, is being seen as the most likely buyer. Other prominent bidders include Kingdom Holdings, the company which owns the Four Seasons Hotel, and a Chinese hospitality group, it is learnt. Apart from Aman Hotel (Delhi), earlier Lodhi Hotel, the chain has two other hospitality properties in India, the Aman-i-Khas and Amanbagh, both in Rajasthan.

DLF aims to cut debt through the divestment of non-core assets, including hotels and plots of land that cannot be developed in the next five years. The company’s debt was pegged at Rs 22,500 crore as of end-September. It expects to cut this to around Rs 10,000 crore by 2013.
