Mumbai/Kolkata, July 10 (IBNS): Samsara Properties Limited, an offshore wholly owned subsidiary of The Indian Hotels Company Limited, on Thursday announced the execution of a share sale deed for the divestment of 100 percent of its shareholding in Blue Sydney, A Taj Hotel, in favour of Australia Hotels & Properties Limited.
