Media Statement
16th July 2026
ITC HOTELS SIGNS DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT FOR STRATEGIC ACQUISITION OF A 130 KEY OPERATING
HOTEL IN AHMEDABAD’S VIBRANT COMMERCIAL HUB
ITC HOTELS LIMITED (Company) is pleased to announce the signing of a definitive agreement for strategic acquisition of
a hotel situated within Ahmedabad's vibrant commercial hub. ITC Hotels entered the agreement for acquiring a 100%
stake in GHK Hospitality and Infrastructures Ltd (GHK) that owns Welcomhotel Ahmedabad ('Hotel'). The Hotel is
currently operated by the Company under an Operating Services Agreement. The transaction will be completed at an
Enterprise Value of Rs. 155 crores, on a debt-free and cash-free basis, subject to customary adjustments under the
definitive agreement. The acquisition is expected to be consummated within the current quarter.
The 130-room Upper Upscale business Hotel has spacious rooms, 8,500 sq.ft of banqueting spaces, a restaurant serving
the finest Indian and global cuisines and a rooftop swimming pool. The addition of this Hotel would further strengthen
the Company’s owned asset portfolio in Ahmedabad by straddling across all the branded hospitality market segments
and price points. This value-accretive acquisition would reduce time-to-market and optimize capital efficiency vis-à-vis
a greenfield investment and would provide an opportunity to the Company to capitalize on the diversified year-round
demand emerging from the city's expanding corporate footprint, industrial corridors, MICE and Sports events. The
transaction would be EPS accretive for the Company in the first full year of the Hotel’s operations post the acquisition.
Speaking on the development, Anil Chadha, Managing Director, ITC Hotels Limited said, "The acquisition of this Hotel
will mark another milestone in pursuit of the Company’s growth aspiration by adding another owned property in one of
the fastest growing urban centres of India. Transitioning this established 130-room property from a managed contract
to full ownership allows us to unlock greater value from the asset. Ahmedabad continues to be one of India’s most
dynamic commercial and industrial centres, supported by significant infrastructure investments, strong long term
demand fundamentals, and a diversified demand base. The hotel's prime location, established brand positioning and
consistent occupancy levels provides an attractive opportunity to enhance yields and cash flow generation over the long
term.”
The Hotel is strategically located along Ahmedabad’s prominent Ashram Road, overlooking the scenic Sabarmati
Riverfront and is in proximity to Ahmedabad International Airport as well as the Narendra Modi Stadium. Ahmedabad is
an emerging metropolitan hub and amongst India’s top eight urban economies by GDP supported by prominent
corporates, industrial corridors like Dholera, GIFT City and Sanand.
ITC Hotels Limited recently acquired The Zuri Kumarakom, Kerala Resort & Spa, a luxury resort in a high growth leisure
destination.
Both these moves underscore ITC Hotels commitment to strengthening its presence in key commercial and leisure
destinations nationwide, reinforcing its position as a leading force in the industry's dynamic growth trajectory.
