The Indian Hotels Company Limited (IHCL) has achieved a significant growth milestone, reaching a portfolio of 670 hotels by the end of H1 FY2027. This expansion was driven by the signing of 47 new hotels and the opening of 20 hotels during the first half of the fiscal year.
Ms. Suma Venkatesh, Executive Vice President - Real Estate & Development, IHCL, highlighted that the company is on track to exceed its "Accelerate 2030" guidance of a 700-hotel portfolio ahead of schedule.

The company balances capital-light and capital-heavy assets to achieve sustainable and profitable growth through operating leverage and a high-margin fee-based business.
IHCL's H1 signings span across its ten brands, with a focus on luxury segment including 4 Taj hotels, a Brij, and an Atmantan. The mid-scale segment also saw substantial growth with 19 signings in Ginger and Tree of Life brands.
