Has granted approval for the demerger of its IT/ITES undertaking into a new company, while simultaneously merging its media and content subsidiary InNetwork Entertainment Ltd into the residual entity. Both the companies would be listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange and National Stock Exchange and the current shareholders of
the Company would be allotted shares of both the companies in proportion to the capital employed in the respective businesses. The appointed date of the demerger would be April 01, 2006.
Mr. Ashok P Hinduja, Chairman said "the demerger and related restructuring will unlock immense shareholder value. While the current market cap is about Rs 2220 crores, the sum of parts valuation is significantly higher, which could get unlocked. It will also go a long way in speeding up inorganic growth opportunities in both the
Technology and Media / Telecom companies, apart from aiding the induction of strategic and/or financial partners. Operational efficiencies in both the resultant companies would also increase".
The Company's Technology business employs over 7000 persons (with over 3000 overseas employees) and ranks among the few BPO companies with a Global Delivery Model with presence in 5 countries and significant revenues generated overseas. With
certifications like SEI CMM Level 4, ISO 9001:2000 and BS 7799, it is ranked among the top 15 BPO companies in India as listed by NASSCOM. It was also ranked 8 among the Top 10 Call Centres Worldwide by the Global Services Magazine with NeoIT in January 2006 and among 200 "Best under $ 1 billion company in Asia" by Forbes Magazine in October 2005. It has domain expertise in Healthcare and Insurance, Financial Services, Manufacturing, Telecom, Pharmaceuticals, Consumer Electronics, Household Products, Energy and Utilities.
The Media business is well poised to take advantage of the emerging business opportunities in content and distribution that have recently opened up and is in negotiation with several leading players for collaborations and contracts in these spaces. It would also continue to be the holding company of Indusind Media and Communications Ltd ("IMCL"). IMCL is India's leading MSO as well as a Broadband operator. It is the only MSO with extensive intra-city fiber networks, with 6000 km of trunk and access HEC networks, 80% of which is 2-way enabled. IMCL has a presence in 14 cities (9 of which are big cities) with over 40% market share in most of these markets.
Mr. Ashok P Hinduja also added that "the demerger and related restructuring would enable the full potential of all the diverse businesses to be realized and take the companies to the next level."
The Company controls an effective stake of 5.11% in Hutch, a leading GSM service provider, through a subsidiary Indusind Telecom Network Ltd ("ITNL"). The Company has received offers for purchase thereof which are under consideration. The Board has set up a Committee of Directors to appraise the offers, negotiate and finalise the deal.
Has announced a special dividend of Rs 20/- per share (200%) to the shareholders out of the proceeds of the Hutchison Essar stake sale which took place recently. This dividend is in addition to the final dividend of Rs 7.50 per share (75%) recommended in July for approval by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting to be held on September 25, 2006.
Demerger of IT/ITES business undertaking
The Board, after discussing the recommendations of the Committee of Directors,approved the demerger of its IT/ITES undertaking, pursuant to a scheme of arrangement u/s 391 to 394 of the Companies Act, 1956. The new IT/ITES entity would be called HTMT Technologies Ltd ("HTMT Tech"), and is expected to list in the fourth quarter of 2006-07. The appointed date of the demerger would be October 01, 2006.
Post restructuring of share capital, pursuant to the demerger, a shareholder of the Company holding two equity shares of Rs 10/- each prior to the demerger would receive one equity share of Rs 10/- in HTMT Tech and one equity share of Rs 10/- in
the Company post the demerger. The share entitlement ratio has been confirmed by

(As Per BSE Announcement Website Dated on 09/11/2006)
Hinduja TMT Ltd has announced that the shareholders of the Company have unanimously voted in favour of the Scheme for demerger of the Company's IT/ITES-BPO undertaking into HTMT Technologies Ltd. At a well-attended meeting held in Mumbai on December 04, 2006, all valid votes cast by shareholders were in favour of the demerger Scheme. The results of the poll have been displayed at the Company's registered office.
The Scheme having been approved by the shareholders, a petition praying for sanction of the same will be filed with the Hon'ble High Court of Judicature at Bombay, as per legal requirements.
The demerger is expected to unlock value for the shareholders. With the IT/ITES-BPO being demerged into an independent pure play focused company, market visibility as well as industry and investor recognition is expected to improve. While the Company has been rapidly expanding its global delivery footprint and has transformed itself into a global enterprise, the sharper focus on IT/ITES-BPO would help at tract further global customers and top class talent, apart from aiding organic and inorganic growth initiatives.
The demerger would also help the Company's media / broadband interests to benefit in the changing business and regulatory environment. Going forward, expansions through alliances, partnerships, strategic investments and joint ventures including mergers and acquisitions will be a key growth strategy for these businesses and the demerger and restructuring within these businesses, would facilitate these initiatives. Conditional Access System (CAS) through cable has already been notified by the Central Government w.e.f. January 01, 2007 in South Mumbai as well as in the National Capital Territory of Delhi and the Company's cable subsidiary (Indusind Media and Communications Ltd _ IMCL) is in the final stages of completing formalities in connection therewith. CAS will provide immense benefit to subscribers, not only by way of reduced costs, freedom to choose pay-channels as well as digital pictures, but also by way of Value Added Services that would be rolled out by IMCL.
