Imagicaaworld Entertainment's board has approved a strategic investment of up to ₹100 Crore for its planned Gujarat water park. Final deal terms are still pending.
Deal Details
The company plans to invest up to ₹100 Crore in Mehsana Next Parks Private Limited (MNPPL). This capital will fund the development of the 'Shanku's Water Park' business in Gujarat. The investment will be a mix of equity and debt securities, agreed upon with Keshav Holiday Resort Private Limited (KHRPL) and MNPPL. This approval follows earlier announcements regarding the proposed transaction on January 20 and April 02, 2026.
Strategic Importance
This move represents Imagicaaworld's strategic expansion into a new state for its entertainment business. It signals the company's aim to diversify revenue and tap into Gujarat's growing leisure and tourism market.
Company Background
Imagicaaworld Entertainment has focused on operational recovery and growth since the COVID-19 pandemic. The company recently reported strong Q3 FY24 results, with increased footfalls and revenue performance.
Expected Changes

Key Risks
The deal's completion depends on the successful signing of definitive agreements. Full transaction details will be filed with stock exchanges only after these agreements are finalized.
Competitive Landscape
