Leela Palaces Hotels & Resorts is expanding its luxury hospitality portfolio by adding two new verticals under “The Leela” brand, as it accelerates its brand-led growth strategy.
In separate stock exchange filings, the company announced the incorporation of two wholly owned subsidiaries—Leela Luxe Hotels & Resorts Private Limited and Leela Nirvana Resorts Private Limited—both designed to own, operate, manage, and develop premium hotels and resorts across India.
Leela Luxe Hotels & Resorts Private Limited was incorporated on November 28, 2025. The subsidiary has an authorised share capital of Rs 5 lakh and a paid-up capital of Rs 1,000, which Leela Palaces Hotels & Resorts fully subscribed in cash along with nominee shareholders. Subsequently, on December 19, 2025, the company incorporated Leela Nirvana Resorts Private Limited with an identical capital structure, including authorised capital of Rs 5 lakh and paid-up capital of Rs 1,000, entirely held by the listed parent. At present, neither entity has commenced commercial operations.
According to regulatory disclosures, both Leela Luxe and Leela Nirvana operate within the “Hotels and Resorts” industry. The stated primary objective for each subsidiary is to “own, operate, manage, and develop luxury hotels and resorts under ‘The Leela’ brand.”
As a result, the two entities appear positioned as focused vehicles for future luxury developments rather than a move into unrelated business segments.
Leela Palaces Hotels & Resorts, which manages some of India’s most recognisable luxury hotel assets, has increasingly prioritised brand-centric expansion following its ownership restructuring and stock market listing. Therefore, the creation of these subsidiaries aligns closely with the company’s broader ambition to strengthen “The Leela” as a premium hospitality platform. Earlier, in October, the company rebranded itself from Schloss Bangalore Limited to Leela Palaces Hotels & Resorts Limited, further underscoring this strategic shift.
