Diversified conglomerate ITC Group and hospitality major EIH have drawn up a blueprint to combine and emerge as the country’s largest hotel chain by revenues. Once the plan fructifies, it would see a three-way venture between the two groups and Reliance Industries (RIL) which recently picked up 14.8% stake in EIH. Currently, the Oberois hold 32% stake in EIH,while ITC holds 14.98%.
According to the plan being worked out, ITC Group would demerge its hotel business, which would then form a partnership with the EIH group. The combined entity would have a much larger revenue base of Rs 1,948 crore, which can then be leveraged for further expansion both domestically as well as overseas.
The coming-together of the two hotel chains would make this the country’s largest hotel conglomerate in terms of revenues, outstripping the Tata group’s hospitality company Indian Hotels. Indian Hotels is currently the largest hotel chain in the country in terms of revenues, clocking Rs 1,566 crore in the fiscal 2009-10. Once the merger between the ITC hotel division and EIH is complete, RIL would not interfere in running the day to day affairs.
