Imagicaaworld Entertainment Announces ₹248 Crore Hotel Transac(cid:415)on,
Unlocking Significant Value
Transac(cid:415)on unlocks growth capital, strengthens focus on high-margin park business and
supports next phase of expansion
Mumbai, 17th September 2026 – Imagicaaworld Entertainment Limited (BSE: 539056; NSE:
IMAGICAA), India’s largest amusement & Water Park player, announced that its Board has
approved the proposed divestment of its 287-key Novotel Imagicaa hotel at Khopoli to Juniper
Hotels Limited for an considera(cid:415)on of ₹248 crore, subject to the execu(cid:415)on of defini(cid:415)ve
agreements and receipt of applicable statutory, regulatory and shareholder approvals.
The transac(cid:415)on is proposed to be undertaken through a slump sale of the hotel undertaking as
a going concern. The property is spread across approximately 11 acres with a built-up area of
around 2.8 lakh sq. (cid:332). and is strategically located adjacent to Imagicaa Theme Park and Water
Park on the Mumbai-Pune corridor.
Strategic Ra(cid:415)onale for Asset Sale:
The proposed divestment strengthens company’s balance sheet to sharpen its focus on the
core entertainment business while unlocking capital for the next phase of growth.
Focus on Core Parks Business
o Expand park por(cid:414)olio across new geographies
o Add new a(cid:425)rac(cid:415)ons & experiences across exis(cid:415)ng parks
Accelerate Indoor Entertainment
o Further investment in the high-growth indoor entertainment segment
o Build a broader and more diversified entertainment por(cid:414)olio
Strategic Benefit Beyond Capital Unlock
Juniper Hotels’ planned upscaling of Novotel Imagicaa is expected to further
strengthen the overall Imagicaa des(cid:415)na(cid:415)on. The enhanced value offering will improve
the des(cid:415)na(cid:415)on’s overall experience and crea(cid:415)ng greater opportuni(cid:415)es to a(cid:425)ract
mul(cid:415)-day visitors.
The divestment will also improve the overall EBITDA margins. Company’s exis(cid:415)ng parks
business operates at an EBITDA margin of approximately 40-45%, significantly higher
than the approximately 25-30% EBITDA margin of the Hotel business.
Commen(cid:415)ng on the acquisi(cid:415)on, Jai Malpani, Managing Director, Imagicaaworld
Entertainment Limited said,
“The proposed divestment of Novotel Imagicaa marks an important step in the evolu(cid:415)on of
Imagicaaworld. Over the years, we have built a strong and differen(cid:415)ated entertainment
pla(cid:414)orm, and we now see a significant opportunity to deploy capital towards expanding this
pla(cid:414)orm across new geographies, strengthening our exis(cid:415)ng parks and building our presence
in indoor entertainment.
We believe the proposed transac(cid:415)on recognizes the strategic value of Novotel Imagicaa as a
des(cid:415)na(cid:415)on-linked hospitality asset. The transac(cid:415)on is being concluded at an a(cid:425)rac(cid:415)ve
valua(cid:415)on reflec(cid:415)ng the premium associated with Novotel Imagicaa’s unique posi(cid:415)oning
within the integrated Imagicaa des(cid:415)na(cid:415)on. The transac(cid:415)on also provides us with addi(cid:415)onal
growth capital and greater financial flexibility as we enter the next phase of our expansion.
Notably, notwithstanding the change in ownership of the hotel asset, the core business
synergies between Novotel Imagicaa and the Imagicaaworld des(cid:415)na(cid:415)on remain completely
unaffected. The strategic rela(cid:415)onship and seamless integra(cid:415)on between the hotel and the
theme park will con(cid:415)nue to operate as usual, ensuring uninterrupted value crea(cid:415)on and a
consistent experience for our guests.
Going forward, our focus will remain on crea(cid:415)ng differen(cid:415)ated entertainment des(cid:415)na(cid:415)ons,
expanding our presence across a(cid:425)rac(cid:415)ve catchments and delivering sustainable, profitable
growth.”
