The Indian Hotels Company Ltd (IHCL), the country’s largest hospitality group, announced on Thursday that it has infused ₹219.69 crore (approximately $25 million) as equity into its wholly owned Netherlands-based subsidiary, IHOCO BV. The equity infusion will enable IHOCO BV to invest further in its downstream subsidiaries, supporting debt repayment, operational funding, and strategic initiatives across its international portfolio.

On October 24, 2025, IHCL shares are trading marginally up at ₹738.00 from the previous closing price, after opening at ₹736.50 on BSE at 09:45 AM.

IHOCO BV: IHCL’s Global Investment Arm

Serving as IHCL’s apex holding company for overseas hospitality ventures, IHOCO BV was incorporated on June 29, 1984.

The company reported a turnover of:

• ₹3.84 crore in FY2024–25
• ₹6.08 crore in FY2023–24
• ₹0.17 crore in FY2022–23

As of March 31, 2025, IHOCO BV’s net worth stood at ₹3,057.14 crore, while its profit after tax (PAT) was ₹28.06 crore.

Structure of the Transaction

The infusion represents a cash-based equity investment and does not alter IHCL’s ownership in IHOCO BV, which remains a wholly owned subsidiary.

Since the transaction occurs between a parent company and its wholly owned subsidiary, it is exempt from related-party disclosure requirements. IHCL clarified that neither the promoter group nor any group companies hold any direct or indirect interest in IHOCO BV.
