(i) Hotels situated in prime locations like Delhi and Bangalore may be handed over to established hotel chains through a competitive bidding process to be run on a long term structured contract on lease- cum- management bases.
(ii) Other Hotels may be de- merged into separate corporate identities and the disinvestment in the new companies will be through sale of 100% Government shareholdings in them.
(c) & (d) : The recommendations of the Disinvestment Commission provide that it
would be ideal if a tripartite agreement between ITDC, trade unions and the concerned
parties is concluded in each case to take care of the interests of labour.
