Okay, toh is bade plan ke peeche ka reason kya hai? Sabse pehle toh IHCL ne Q4 FY26 mein kamaal kar dikhaya hai! Company ka Net Profit 14.7% badh kar ₹645.4 Crore ho gaya hai. Revenue bhi 14% badhi hai, pahunch gayi ₹2845 Crore tak. Total expenses bhi thoda badh kar ₹2,014.9 Crore ho gaye, jo pichle saal ₹1,764.2 Crore the.
Ab kya hai na, India mein toh unka business bilkul 'on autopilot' chal raha hai, matlab sab set hai aur smoothly kaam ho raha hai. Toh ab Tata Group ki yeh hospitality arm bahar naye mauke dhundh rahi hai.
Is global growth ke liye unhone kuch jagahon ko target kiya hai - jaise ki Frankfurt, South Africa ke Kruger National Park mein bhi naya lodge khulega, aur Switzerland, Scandinavia, Australia aur Bhutan mein bhi expansion ki planning chal rahi hai.
Sabse important baat yeh hai ki yeh jo bhi videsh mein expansion hoga, woh strictly "asset-light" model par hoga. Iska matlab woh hotels kharidne ke bajaye management contracts ya operating leases par focus karenge. Yeh un markets mein kaam aayega jahan investors ke paas hotels hain aur unko operator chahiye.
Yeh log ekdum soch samajh kar international markets mein enter kar rahe hain. Pehle German-speaking regions jaise Frankfurt mein shuruat karenge, phir Switzerland aur baad mein baaki jagahon par jayenge. Isse unko local rules, tax aur bhasha sab samajh aa jayega.
FY26 toh IHCL ke liye ek record breaking saal raha. Unhone 250 naye hotels sign kiye hain! Ab total portfolio 630 hotels ka ho gaya hai aur 255 hotels abhi bhi pipeline mein hain. Woh 3 naye brands bhi launch kar chuke hain, ab unke paas total 14 brands hain, aur 130 se zyada hotels internal growth aur acquisitions se add kiye hain.
Aur financial strength ki baat karein toh March 31, 2026 tak company ke paas ₹4,345 Crore cash tha aur koi debt nahi tha. FY26 mein unhone ₹1,000 Crore se zyada capex mein aur ₹500 Crore se zyada acquisitions mein lagaye hain. Unka free cash flow bhi profit ka 70% se zyada tha, jo acchi operational efficiency dikhata hai.
