ITC Hotels plans to expand portfolio to over 220 units by 2030
PTI
Kolkata, Jul 18 (PTI) ITC Hotels Ltd is aiming at expanding its portfolio to over 220 operating units with more than 20,000 keys by 2030, its latest annual report said.
According to the annual report for 2024-25, the company plans to accelerate its growth through management contracts and franchise arrangements.
Approximately, 70 per cent of the keys are being operated under management contracts, including franchising, it said.
Spun into a separate entity after the demerger from ITC Limited, the company owns brands like ITC Hotels, Mementos, WelcomHotel, Storii, Fortune and WelcomHeritage.
'Having achieved considerable scale and market standing, the business pivoted into an asset right strategy to drive growth and reduce the capital intensity of operations," the company said.
The focus was also on strong partnerships with asset owners, leveraging brand credentials and providing operational expertise, ITC Hotels said in the report.
In the last two years, 30 hotels have been launched under the ITC Hotels brand portfolio, out of which 29 are managed and franchised properties in India and Nepal.
The company has a robust pipeline of hotels with a high prominence of brownfield assets, which are likely to open in the next four years. Presently, the company is amongst the 'fastest growing" hospitality chains in the country with more than 140 properties and over 13,300 rooms under its six brands, the report said.
In 2024-25, the Indian hospitality industry sustained its strong growth momentum, which was driven by economic stability and robust domestic demand outpacing supply, aided by the government's thrust on improving infrastructure and connectivity in the country.
With over two lakh keys across the country covering various segments, India still remains significantly underpenetrated in comparison to the global hospitality industry, the report said. PTI dc BDC

Best of BS Opinion: Power plays, star turns, and fading languages
There's something magical about the air after a downpour. The way the city exhales, windows open, dust settles, and colours emerge brighter. It's a small pause, a crisp clarity that cuts through the blur of everyday noise. Much like today's columns. Each of them, different as they are, arrives like sunlight reflecting off of puddles on the road, revealing what was murky just moments ago. Whether it's the stormy shifts in India's political alliances or the clouded future of venture capital, they invite us to look again at what's settling, what's washing away, and what's beginning anew. Let's dive in. Start with Parmy Olson's sharp look at the evolving VC landscape, where tech giants are now acquiring AI startups not to scale them, but to quietly absorb their talent — a practice known as 'acquihiring'. While this helps companies skirt antitrust radar, it's leaving investors in the lurch and threatening the very business model that built Silicon Valley. The rain of regulation may have driven VCs to chase fewer billion-dollar exits, but in its aftermath, a more sustainable startup culture could just be taking root. Back home in Aditi Phadnis' analysis, clouds loom over the TDP-BJP alliance. The TDP's vocal disapproval of the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision hints at deeper ideological rifts, especially as the party attempts to woo its minority voter base. Yet, both sides tread carefully, bound together by mutual need. The monsoon session of Parliament could reveal whether these are just summer winds or signs of a larger storm brewing. In London, however, the skies were all flashbulbs and white linen. Sandeep Goyal writes about the Wimbledon 2025, where India's cricket royalty rubbed shoulders with global icons in a dazzling collision of sport, fashion, and fandom. But was it an organic presence or a curated spectacle? Either way, India's stars now shine far beyond the boundary ropes, both on and off the court. Shekhar Gupta decodes the gusts of Trumplomacy. Donald Trump's loud, erratic, ego-driven diplomacy unsettles many, India included. Yet, his direct outreach to Pakistan's military confirms what India has long argued, that Rawalpindi, not Islamabad, holds power. Trump's chaos, he argues, is more style than substance and with 2026 in sight, the real forecast is to wait out the storm. And Kumar Abishek writes about a more silent storm: the death of languages. Over 250 Indian tongues lost, hundreds more on the brink. As families choose Hindi or English for upward mobility, entire ways of seeing the world are disappearing. But here too, the downpour brings reflection and maybe a chance to preserve what's left before it vanishes completely. Stay tuned!

Lunawat, 1st woman to set up mutual fund biz, get Sebi nod
File photo MUMBAI: The Wealth Company, backed by Pantomath Group, on Friday said it has received Sebi approval to launch its mutual fund business. This made the Wealth Company the first fund house in India to be founded by a woman to receive Sebi nod to start an MF business. The company is led by Madhu Lunawat, also a co-founder of the Pantomath Group, a leading investment banking firm in the mid-market segment. Currently, of the nearly 50 fund houses in the country, only one, Edelweiss MF, is headed by a woman, Radhika Gupta, as its managing director & CEO. Lunawat, a chartered accountant by training, is the first Indian woman to independently set up and receive Sebi approval for a non-institutional mutual fund house, a release from the company said. Before co-founding Pantomath, Lunawat had stints with Infosys, ASREC, and the Edelweiss group. 'This is not just a moment for me — it's a moment for every woman who wants to build, lead, and reshape the financial landscape,' Lunawat told TOI. She will be leading the new fund house as its MD & CEO. 'We're here to build something that's intelligent, long-term, and deeply aligned with the real needs of Indian investors,' she said. The fund house will leverage technology to have a strong presence in the hinterlands. It will also have a client-first approach, she said.
