SAMHI Hotels reported a consolidated net profit of INR 566.54 crore for FY26, reflecting strong operational performance across its hospitality portfolio amid sustained growth in business travel, leisure tourism and branded hotel demand across India. Advertisement
The hospitality company stated that the financial performance was supported by continued portfolio optimisation, higher occupancy levels and improved revenue generation across key urban markets. SAMHI operates branded hotels through long-term partnerships with global operators including Marriott, Hyatt and IHG.
The company has continued expanding its presence across major business and commercial centres including the National Capital Region, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai and Pune. According to company disclosures, SAMHI currently operates 31 hotels comprising nearly 4,900 rooms across 13 Indian cities.
During FY26, the company also strengthened its growth pipeline through new investments and expansion initiatives. SAMHI stated that construction has commenced on its largest hotel development to date in Navi Mumbai, where the proposed project is expected to include around 700 rooms.
The company additionally expanded its presence in the leisure and experiential hospitality segment through acquisition of a 70% stake in RARE India, a curated hospitality platform comprising heritage hotels, wildlife lodges and boutique retreats across the country. According to the company, the platform currently includes 73 hotels and more than 1,000 rooms.
SAMHI indicated that the partnership is expected to strengthen its position within India’s growing experiential travel market, where demand for boutique hospitality formats and destination-led stays has increased significantly in recent years. The proposed affiliation with Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy is also expected to improve access to international distribution networks for the portfolio.
The company stated that it is entering FY27 with a stronger balance sheet, diversified portfolio and greater operational scale. Management indicated that future earnings growth is expected to increasingly translate into stronger free cash flow generation as interest outflows stabilise and incremental investments become more self-funded.
India’s hospitality sector has witnessed sustained recovery and expansion over the past two years, driven by growth in domestic travel, corporate movement, large-scale events and rising leisure tourism. Hotel operators across major urban centres have reported improving occupancy levels and room rates amid continued demand recovery.
Industry analysts have also observed increasing investor interest in branded hotel ownership platforms, particularly those with asset management capabilities and partnerships with international hospitality operators. Companies are simultaneously focusing on expansion across both business travel destinations and experiential tourism markets as hospitality demand broadens across segments.
SAMHI’s FY26 performance comes amid continued investment activity across India’s hospitality and tourism infrastructure sector, where operators are increasingly expanding portfolios to capture rising domestic and international travel demand.
