What ITC Hotels does

Hotel chain demerged from ITC Limited, operating luxury and premium hotels under ITC Hotels, Welcomhotel and Fortune brands.

Earns from room and food-and-beverage sales at hotels it owns, and from fees for running or licensing hotels owned by others, a route to expansion without paying for each building. It separated from ITC Limited in 2025, and ITC kept a minority stake.
