Imagicaaworld Sells Hotel Asset for ₹248 Crore and Expands Park Business
Imagicaaworld Entertainment Ltd. (NSE:IMAGICAA) announced a series of strategic moves, including the sale of its Novotel Imagicaa hotel to Juniper Hotels Ltd for ₹248 crore. The amusement and water park operator also completed the full conversion of 23,482,500 convertible warrants into equity shares, raising ₹129.45 crore in final subscription proceeds. Additionally, the company acquired a 50 percent stake in Mehsana Next Parks Private Ltd, the owner and operator of Shanku's Water Park in Gujarat.
The hotel sale enables the company to monetise non-core hospitality assets while redirecting focus toward core entertainment properties. These moves come as consolidated visitor footfalls fell 6 percent year-over-year to 2.1 lakh for the July-September quarter of FY27, down from 2.25 lakh, largely caused by unusually heavy rainfall in July and August 2026 across primary catchment locations.
Looking ahead, the market will monitor the company's rollout into indoor location-based entertainment. Imagicaaworld plans to launch its first Hello Park indoor venue at Lakeshore Mall in Hyderabad during the third quarter of FY27 through its subsidiary, Imagicaa Next Private Limited. Shares of Imagicaaworld were trading around 46.09 INR on the day.
