Indian Hotels Company Limited (IHCL) achieved record full-year performance in fiscal 2025, driven by strong domestic travel demand and limited hotel supply additions. Room-night sales grew 6% industry-wide, with IHCL re-affirming its goal to operate 700 properties by 2030.

IHCL plans to invest over INR 12 billion in fiscal 2026, focusing on asset upgrades, new projects, and investments in the Taj brand and digital infrastructure. The company aims to attract more international travelers to India, with a potential 40% increase in foreign arrivals by 2030.

Booking windows are shrinking in India, with travelers planning getaways as little as 12–24 hours in advance. IHCL’s ventures like Qmin, a grab-and-go food concept, are scaling rapidly with expansions in F&B and retail partnerships.

IHCL’s loyalty program Tata Neu surpassed 10 million members, and direct bookings increased by 43% to over INR 22 billion in fiscal 2025. Consolidated total revenue surged 23% to INR 85.6 billion, with EBITDA reaching a record INR 30 billion and profit after tax jumping by 63%.
