Indian Hotels Company (IHCL) has announced plans to invest over Rs 1,200 crore in the financial year 2025–26, building on the Rs 1,000 crore spent in FY25.

This investment is aimed at enhancing asset management, property upgrades, and launching new projects, particularly focusing on the expansion of its Taj Hotels brand. The company’s strategy highlights strong optimism driven by growing domestic and international demand, along with a steady recovery in foreign tourist arrivals and rising momentum in the leisure, social, and meetings segments.

IHCL is targeting growth through both same-store performance and new business initiatives. It plans to open 30 new hotels in FY26, following a largely asset-light model in which over 95 percent of signings in the previous year were for management or franchise agreements.
