IHCL to buy stake in firms operating The Clarks Hotels & Resorts' brand

Tata Group-owned Indian Hotels Company Ltd (IHCL) on Monday said a committee constituted by its board has approved and executed agreements to acquire about 51 per cent stake each in two entities -- ANK Hotels and Pride Hospitality -- which have a portfolio of 135 hotels operated under 'The Clarks Hotels & Resorts' brand. The transactions to be executed via cash consideration are expected to be completed by November 15, 2025. The share subscription and purchase agreements and shareholders' agreements were executed to acquire about 51 per cent equity stake for an amount not exceeding Rs 110 crore in ANK Hotels Pvt Ltd, and Rs 94 crore in Pride Hospitality Pvt Ltd, according to a regulatory filing. "The foregoing companies have a portfolio of 135 hotels which are operated under 'The Clarks Hotels & Resorts', primarily across India, IHCL said. The country's biggest hospitality player has also signed a distribution & marketing agreement with 'Brij Hospitality Pvt Ltd', which has a portfolio of 19 hotels under the Brij Brand, primarily across the country. The transactions (subject to fulfilment of certain condition precedents) aim to address India's heterogenous market landscape and provide deeper geographical penetration across India in the midscale segment while continuing to pursue its asset light growth strategy, IHCL stated in the filing. The proposed acquisition of 51 per cent stake in ANK Hotels Pvt Ltd will add a portfolio of 111 midscale hotels (with 67 hotels in operation) to IHCL's portfolio. Established in 1996, ANK Hotels Pvt Ltd has its registered office in Lucknow. It has presence in India & Sri Lanka. Pride Hospitality Pvt Ltd, established in 2005, has its registered office in Jaipur.

GIC, TPG-backed AHH targets 20 AINU hospitals by FY30, eyes GI entry

Asian Healthcare Holdings (AHH), backed by Singapore sovereign wealth fund GIC and private equity firm TPG, plans to expand to about 20 nephrology and urology facilities under its Asian Institute of Nephrology and Urology (AINU) brand by the end of FY30. AINU currently operates over 500 beds in seven hospitals across Hyderabad, Visakhapatnam, Siliguri, and Chennai. It inaugurated a 200-bed flagship hospital in Hyderabad on Monday. 'Between FY26 and FY27, there will be another three to four hospitals, which will take our tally to 12-13 facilities,' Vishal Bali, executive chairman of AHH, told Business Standard. With this expansion, AINU's bed capacity will reach about 850. He added that the next phase of growth will focus on tier-II cities such as Bhubaneswar, Patna, Coimbatore, and Pune. Sandeep Guduru, chief executive officer of AINU, said Rs 150 crore in capital expenditure has been earmarked to open three to four new urology and nephrology facilities in the next 12 months. 'We are also expanding our robotic surgery capabilities in a couple of our other cities,' he added. Bali said that between FY27 and FY30, AINU could add another seven to eight hospitals, taking the total to around 20. AHH, which owns Motherhood Hospitals (maternity care), AINU, and Nova IVF (IVF), is a healthcare platform specialising in single-specialty hospitals. The network now plans to enter one or two additional specialties. 'Gastroenterology (GI) is one such specialty that we would be keen to explore,' Bali said. He explained that GI offers a strong outpatient department with endoscopy, as well as inpatient procedures largely driven by minimal access surgery. On the possibility of an initial public offering, Bali declined to share a timeline, saying it was a matter of when the investors deemed it appropriate. 'However, with the Ebitda that we have on the platform today, the company could potentially go to an IPO even in the next 16 or 18 months,' he said.
