ITC is the only company globally to be carbon positive for 15 years, water positive for 18 years, and solid waste recycling positive for 13 years.
Under the "Classmate" brand, ITC holds about a 25% market share in India's stationery sector, with consumer spending exceeding Rs. 1,500 crore.
Since July 2001, ITC has distributed up to 29 dividends. In the past 12 months, the dividend payout was Rs. 13.8 per share, yielding a dividend yield of 2.63%.
Despite multiple phases of negligible returns over two decades, investors who remained invested in ITC saw their wealth grow 26 times.
In January 2025, ITC spun off its hotel business into a separately listed entity, allowing the conglomerate to focus on its core businesses of cigarettes and food.
Following the demerger, ITC's market capitalization was adjusted to $66.4 billion, reflecting its robust market position.
Post-demerger, ITC Hotels was valued at $4.23 billion during its trading debut, marking a significant milestone for the company.
Beyond cigarettes, ITC has a strong presence in FMCG, hotels, paperboards, and agribusiness, showcasing its diversified business model.
