Strategic Developments
The board approved a Composite Scheme of Arrangement and Amalgamation involving Thomas Cook (India) Limited and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The scheme provides for the demerger of the Resorts and Resort Management business into Sterling Holiday Resorts Limited (SHRL), with shareholders receiving 81 shares of SHRL for every 100 shares held in Thomas Cook (India) Limited. The scheme is subject to requisite statutory and regulatory approvals. During the year, the company sold its immovable property in Udyog Vihar Phase III, Gurugram, resulting in a profit of ₹256.5 Mn (₹177.4 Mn net of tax), reported under exceptional items. The company recognised an exceptional item of ₹174.8 Mn (standalone) and ₹301 Mn (consolidated) related to past service costs arising from the New Labour Codes notified effective November 21, 2025. The company has opted to transition to the New Tax Regime effective FY 2026-27, resulting in a one-time deferred tax credit of ₹35.9 Mn for the year.
