Tata's Taj look to sell hotel assets as it braces for slump in economy
International News
The luxury hotel chain controlled by India’s Tata Group is looking to sell some assets and avoid owning new properties in an effort to further pare debt, as it braces for a slump in consumer spending.
Indian Hotels Co. Ltd., Tata’s listed firm that operates the Taj brand, plans to dispose of certain budget inns in the nation’s non-metro areas and lease them back for a fee, Puneet Chhatwal, managing director and chief executive officer said in an interview.“We are moving our focus to more management contracts rather than constructing hotels of our own,” Chhatwal said. “We have no plans to put our legacy and flagship properties under sale and lease back.”

Besides the slowdown, the grounding of Jet Airways India Ltd. has also hit Indian Hotels, forcing it to write-off some dues.

The chain, which operates New York’s The Pierre and St. James Court in the U.K., has been reducing debt in the past few years by selling assets including apartments purchased for Tata Group’s executives. Consolidated net debt stood at 20 billion rupees ($282 million) at the end of March, down from as high as 31 billion rupees two years earlier, according to the hospitality firm.
The efforts to pare borrowings at the hotel chain are also part of a wider drive at India’s biggest conglomerate. Tata Motors Ltd., the owner of Jaguar Land Rover, has said it is looking at options for the struggling British luxury brands...Read More
