SAMHI Hotels Limited has announced significant strategic decisions following its Board meeting on April 15, 2026, aimed at enhancing operational sustainability and streamlining its corporate structure. The company has approved the acquisition of a 49% equity stake in two renewable energy firms, Clean Max Nile Private Limited and Clean Max Solomon Private Limited, for a total infusion of ₹2.91 Crore (₹1.458 Crore each). Furthermore, the Board sanctioned an investment of ₹44.02 Crore in its wholly-owned subsidiary, Duet India Hotels (Hyderabad) Private Limited, through a secondary acquisition of preference shares from another subsidiary, Duet India Hotels (Pune) Private Limited.

The primary objective behind the solar acquisitions is to secure a reliable source of renewable energy for SAMHI’s hotels in Maharashtra and Karnataka through a group captive arrangement. By holding a 49% stake, SAMHI qualifies for captive consumption under Indian electricity laws, which is expected to result in higher renewable energy offtake and substantial annual utility cost savings. The acquisitions of Clean Max Nile and Clean Max Solomon are expected to be completed by May 15, 2026. Simultaneously, the ₹44.02 Crore investment in the Hyderabad subsidiary facilitates internal corporate restructuring to meet lender requirements and simplify the group’s overall structure.

SAMHI Hotels Ltd. is a prominent hotel ownership and asset management platform in India, operating a diverse portfolio of 31 hotels with approximately 4,806 rooms across 13 major cities. The company partners with leading global brands such as Marriott, Hyatt, and IHG to cater to both business and leisure travelers. In recent updates from 2025, the company has focused on a “Go for Greatness” strategy, emphasizing acquisition and turnaround to achieve scale. Key personnel leading these initiatives include Founder and CEO Ashish Jakhanwala and CFO Rajat Mehra. The company also recently shifted its registered office to Aerocity, New Delhi, in February 2026 to consolidate its corporate operations.

In its latest quarterly financial results for Q3 FY 2025-26, SAMHI Hotels reported a significant 73.8% year-over-year (YoY) jump in net profit to ₹39.61 Crore, while revenue increased by 16.25% YoY to ₹341.90 Crore. However, on a quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) basis, the company saw a 10.14% decline in revenue and a 57.15% fall in net profits compared to the preceding quarter. The company’s shareholding pattern reflects strong institutional backing, with major investors including Goldman Sachs, Equity International, and the International Finance Corporation (IFC). Additionally, notable public shareholders as of March 2025 include Madhuri Madhusudan Kela, who holds a 1.69% stake in the company.
