CHENNAI/BENGALURU, March 2 (Reuters) - India's Lemon Tree Hotels LEMO.NS is preparing to step up its overseas expansion over the next three to five years, as Indians increasingly travel abroad for leisure, a top executive said.

India is expected to become the world's fourth-largest outbound tourism market by 2035, behind the U.S., China and Germany, rising from 10th place, Capital Economics said last year.

"We would like to go where the Indian traveller is going," Managing Director and CEO Neelendra Singh told Reuters in an interview last week, citing popular destinations such as Thailand, Vietnam and Singapore as natural fits for the brand.

He did not share more details.

The midscale chain has five hotels outside India, two in Nepal and Bhutan and one in the UAE, out of more than 120 properties. Other hotel chains with luxury brands in their portfolio, including Taj owner Indian Hotels IHTL.NS and Oberoi operator EIH EIHO.NS, also have limited overseas footprints.

Lemon Tree has a pipeline of more than 120 hotels, with India remaining its main focus for now.

Owner of brands including Aurika, Red Fox and Keys Select, Lemon Tree is India's third-biggest homegrown hotel chain by number of rooms, behind Ginger-owner Indian Hotels and ITC Hotels ITCT.NS, which runs the Fortune and Welcomhotel brands.

Asked whether rising tensions in the Middle East could affect its plans, Singh said the company was sticking to its strategy, adding the expansion remained a mid-term goal.

At home, Lemon Tree is exploring bringing unbranded hotels into its system through a largely franchise-led model to tap India's vast independent hotel market, about half of which, according to industry estimates, is unbranded.

In January, it said it would shift all hotel ownership to subsidiary Fleur and become a fully asset-light operator, creating two publicly traded entities within 12 to 15 months.

Rewrites throughout with stake value, background on ITC Hotels and share price

Dec 4 (Reuters) - British American Tobacco BATS.L plans to offload its stake worth about $776 million in India's ITC Hotels ITCT.NS, the company said on Thursday, as it looks to reduce debt and exit a non-strategic asset.

The maker of Lucky Strike and Dunhill cigarettes said it intends to sell between 7% and its entire 15.3% stake in ITC Hotels through an accelerated bookbuild process.

BAT is the second-biggest shareholder in ITC Hotels, according to LSEG data. It inherited the stake through its shareholding in ITC Ltd ITC.NS, which spun off its hotels business in January.

"A direct stake in ITC Hotels is not a strategic holding for BAT," CEO Tadeu Marroco said in a statement.

BAT's shares rose 1.5% after the announcement, while India-listed ITC Hotels ended the session roughly flat.

The final number of shares sold will be determined to optimise the overall pricing outcome to the group, BAT said in a statement.

Its roughly 15% holding is currently valued at about $776 million, according to a Reuters calculation.

In a bid to cut its leverage, BAT has also been steadily reducing its stake in ITC Ltd ITC.NS. In May, it sold $1.5 billion worth of shares in ITC and $2 billion last year, in two of the biggest block deals in the Asian country.

ITC Hotels competes with EIH EIHO.NS, parent of Oberoi, and Indian Hotels IHTL.NS which owns the Taj brand. Its portfolio spans luxury to mid-scale segments across six brands.

Updates with analyst comments, shares and valuations of rivals in paragraphs 5 through 8

By Hritam Mukherjee

Jan 29 (Reuters) - Shares of ITC Hotels ITCT.NS fell in debut trade on Wednesday, following its spin-off from consumer goods firm ITC ITC.NS, valuing the luxury hotels operator at 366.2 billion rupees ($4.23 billion).

The stock fell to as low as 172 rupees, compared to a discovered price of 180 rupees determined during a pre-open trading session. It was last down 2.2% at 176 rupees.

ITC ITC.NS spun off its hotel business into a separately listed firm to focus on its core cigarettes and food business, as the unit is among the conglomerate's smallest by revenue and also capital-intensive.

Shares of the parent firm, which now owns a 40% stake in ITC Hotels, were down 0.8%.

ITC Hotels' listing performance was in line with expectations, but the stock is witnessing selling pressure as it is set to exit key indices such as Nifty 50 .NSEI, Nifty FMCG .NIFTYFMCG and BSE Sensex .BSESN, said Prashanth Tapse, senior vice president of research at Mehta Equities.

Brokerage Jefferies estimated post-listing outflows to the tune of $190 million to $200 million.

Shares of rivals EIH EIHO.NS and Indian Hotels IHTL.NS, which own the "Oberoi" and "Taj" brands respectively, were up roughly 2% each.

ITC Hotels' market valuation is second only to Indian Hotels, which is valued at 1.08 trillion rupees. EIH has a market value of 222.67 billion rupees.

ITC Hotels, with its luxury property offerings, is stepping into the equity market at a time when affluent Indians are splurging on premium products ranging from watches to cars, apartments, and even bathrooms.

It operates more than 140 properties across India, Nepal and Sri Lanka, and offers premium amenities including private swimming pools, jacuzzis, and desert safaris.

India's luxury hotels market is expected to be valued at $4.83 billion by 2030 from $2.99 billion in 2025, estimates from market analytics firm Mordor Intelligence showed.
