The new signings span six brands including Radisson Blu, Radisson, Park Inn by Radisson, Radisson Individuals Premier, Park Inn & Suites by Radisson and Radisson Individuals Retreats. The additions form part of the group's strategy to grow its presence through a mix of resorts, business hotels and conversion opportunities across high-demand markets.

Nikhil Sharma, Managing Director & COO, South Asia, Radisson Hotel Group, said, "India’s hospitality growth story is no longer confined to its top metros, it’s being written in its temple towns, its business corridors, and its wildlife circuits. These 10 signings reflect a deliberate strategy: layering our upscale brands into high-barrier gateway markets while using asset-light, franchise-led models to scale quickly into underserved tier-2 and tier-3 cities. It’s this dual approach for us, depth in the metros, breadth in the emerging markets that continues to set our India growth apart."

Davashish Srivastava, Vice President – Development, South Asia, Radisson Hotel Group, added, "Behind these 10 signings is a strong pipeline of partnerships built over the past several months. What makes this portfolio particularly noteworthy is its diversity, ranging from greenfield developments and resort projects to conversion opportunities and hotels in emerging pilgrimage and wildlife destinations. This reflects growing owner confidence in Radisson Hotel Group’s ability to offer the right brand, market-smart deal structures and faster speed to market. As development opportunities become increasingly diverse across India, our focus remains on creating tailored solutions that maximise long-term value for our partners while accelerating high-quality portfolio growth."

The latest signings highlight increasing investor interest in hospitality assets across pilgrimage destinations, wildlife tourism hubs, technology corridors and tier-2 and tier-3 cities, as hotel operators continue to expand beyond major metropolitan markets.
