IHCL plans 'Ahvaan 2025' to map three-pronged growth strategy

Tata Group-backed Indian Hotels Company (IHCL) on Monday said it is launching a new strategy, called 'Ahvaan 2025' that aims to re-engineer margins, re-imagine its "brandscape" and restructure its portfolio.

By 2025-26, IHCL aims to build a portfolio of 300 hotels, clock 33% Ebitda margin with 35% Ebitda share contribution from new businesses and management fee, chief executive and managing director Puneet Chhatwal said.

He said IHCL signed over 100 hotels and opened over 40 new properties over the last five years, making it the "fastest growing" hospitality company in India. Chhatwal said IHCL's "iconic and strongest brand Taj, Paathya an industry leading ESG+ framework, and a strong focus on digital will be key enablers."


The company said Ahvaan 2025 maps IHCL's three-pronged strategy to grow profitably in the coming years.
