Thomas Cook (India) Limited (TCIL) has announced a composite scheme of arrangement approved by its Board of Directors. The scheme involves the demerger of TCIL's Resorts and Resort Management business into Sterling Holiday Resorts Limited (SHRL), with TCIL shareholders set to receive SHRL shares in a ratio of 0.81 shares of SHRL for every share of TCIL. This move aims to unlock value for shareholders and pave the way for a future listing of SHRL.
Concurrently, TCIL will undergo a capital restructuring. This includes consolidating four equity shares of face value ₹1 each into one equity share of face value ₹4 each. Following this, the face value of TCIL's equity shares will be reduced from ₹4 to ₹3 per share without any payment to shareholders. The company will also merge three dormant subsidiaries—TC Visa Services (India) Limited, Jardin Travel Solutions Limited, and Borderless Travel Services Limited—to streamline its corporate structure and reduce administrative costs.
The demerger of the Resorts and Resort Management business, which generated ₹70 Crore in turnover for the year ended December 31, 2025 (approximately 0.4% of TCIL's total standalone turnover), into SHRL is expected to allow SHRL to pursue its growth path as a separate listed entity. The merger of the dormant subsidiaries aims to enhance efficiency and allow management to focus on core business activities. The entire composite scheme is subject to necessary approvals from shareholders, creditors, the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), SEBI, and stock exchanges, with an estimated completion time of 15 to 18 months from the Board's approval date for the consolidation aspect.
