Sr. No. Particulars Disclosure
Demerger
1 Brief details of the division(s)
to be demerged.
The Demerged Undertaking (as defined in the Scheme) of the
TCIL is proposed to be demerged into SHRL.
The Demerged Undertaking (as more particularly defined in the
Scheme) consists of the resorts and resort management
business of Demerged Company undertaken by way of operating
and managing resorts, hotels and similar properties and
undertaking ancillary and connected activities in connection
therewith.
2 Turnover of the Demerged
Undertaking and as
percentage to the total
turnover of the listed entity in
the immediately preceding
financial year / based on
financials of the last financial
year.
The turnover of the Demerged Undertaking for the year ended
31st December 2025 was INR 70 Crores representing ~0.4% of
the total standalone turnover of the Company for the year ended
31st December 2025.
3 Rationale for Demerger TCIL, is a leading travel company and has been offering_inter alia_
broad spectrum of travel related services to its customers. TCIL
owns and/ or operates multiple resorts across India providing
retreats in scenic locations amidst natural surroundings.
It also has resorts which offer a host of curated services across
multiple attractive market segments including:
(i)
Adventure Holidays – with experiences such as trekking,
kayaking, rafting & zip lining;
(ii) Educational trips - including survival skills, self-defence,
nature-appreciation etc. for resilience/adaptability for
students and corporates;
(iii) Corporate Getaways – for Team building activities,
wellness & leadership development programs etc.
SHRL, a wholly owned subsidiary of TCIL has a wide range of
experience of running and operating hotel business, catering to
a different demographic and offering more unique and curated
experiences.
TCIL and SHRL’s Board believes that the Resorts and Resort
Management Business of TCIL would reap more benefits on
account of expertise of SHRL in similar kind of business.
Further, SHRL’s Board is of the view that SHRL matured over the
years and is well poised to chart its own growth path and operate
as a separate listed entity in the fast-growing hospitality industry.
Accordingly, the Board of TCIL is of the view that for better focus
and maximum result, it is better to divest the Resorts and Resort
Management Business into SHRL and subsequently list SHRL.
The main objective of the proposed restructuring, by way of a
composite scheme, is to re-organize and segregate the different
business verticals and focus on core businesses, in compliance
with relevant regulations. In this manner, the two listed entities
can each pursue growth opportunities that are more aligned with
their own industry dynamics, leading to improved operational
efficiencies and profitability.
4 Brief details of change in
shareholding pattern (if any)
of all entities
There will be no change in the shareholding pattern of the TCIL
pursuant to the effectiveness of the Demerger except for
accelerated shares issued to ESOP trust as per the Scheme.
SHRL is presently a wholly owned subsidiary of TCIL. Pursuant
to the effectiveness of the Demerger, each shareholder of TCIL,
subject to applicable law, will be issued equity shares of SHRL in
the ratio of 81 shares for every 100 shares held in TCIL. The
existing equity shares of SHRL held by TCIL would continue to
be held by TCIL. Details of change in shareholding pattern of

expected to better reflect the true market value of the Company's

strength and long-term prospects.
