Raymond Ltd shares plunged sharply on Wednesday, May 14, 2025, tanking nearly 66 per cent to hit Rs 523.10 on the NSE. At first glance, it appeared to be a massive sell-off — but market experts clarified this is simply a technical adjustment as the stock turned ex-date for the demerger of its real estate business, Raymond Realty.
The closing price on Tuesday stood at Rs 1,564.30, and the steep drop reflects the separation of Raymond Realty from Raymond Ltd. As per the corporate action, shareholders will receive one share of Raymond Realty for every one share held in Raymond Ltd.
What does this mean for Raymond investors?
Despite the headline-grabbing fall, investors have not lost any value. Their holding in Raymond Ltd has been adjusted post-demerger, and they will soon hold equity in both companies.
The demerger officially took effect on May 1, and the record date for eligibility was May 14. Raymond Realty is expected to be listed on both NSE and BSE by Q2 FY26, creating two distinct verticals under the Raymond Group — one focused on core businesses and the other on real estate development.
Raymond Group’s bigger game plan: Value unlocking
This move is part of a larger transformation strategy by the Raymond Group, aimed at unlocking value through focused operations. The company had already spun off its lifestyle business in September 2024.
In April 2025, Raymond Realty signed a Rs 5,000-crore residential project in Mumbai under a joint development agreement, signalling aggressive expansion in the real estate space.
Should you be worried?
Not at all. The crash in Raymond Ltd’s stock price is not a panic signal, but a structural adjustment. With the listing of Raymond Realty on the cards and the group’s sharpening focus, investors now have a stake in two promising businesses.
