On Tuesday, shares of ITC Ltd. experienced their worst one-day drop in more than a week after the firm said that it will relaunch its proposal to split apart the hotels industry now that the sector had recovered from the pandemic’s lows.

ITC Chairman Sanjiv Puri stated in an interview with Hindu BusinessLine that the conglomerate was exploring for a “alternative business structure” for its hotel division.

According to Puri, the key reason why the demerger plan is “back on the table” is because the company’s hotel industry has recovered since the epidemic.
