Through wholly owned subsidiaries Tobacco Manufacturers (India), Myddleton Investment and Rothmans International Enterprises, the tobacco products company would sell at least 7% of its stake in ITC Hotels via an accelerated bookbuild process. The company will use the proceeds from the sale of the nonstrategic holding to improve its adjusted net debt to adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio.
