Sarovar Hotels was acquired by Louvre Hotels, positioning it within a global hospitality framework while maintaining independent operations in India. The company plans to have over 400 hotels, both operating and under development, within the next five years and cross Rs 2,300 crore in revenue by 2026. The company is expanding into branded residences as part of its growth strategy, adding a new revenue stream alongside its core hotel business, with two projects signed in the past six months.
