Dharampal Satyapal (DS) Group is increasing its hospitality investment to ₹1,500 crore by FY27, up from the initially planned ₹1,000 crore, aiming to double its room inventory ahead of the 2029 target. The group plans to expand through acquisitions, including distressed brownfield assets, and new projects, notably a 200-room W Hotels property in Delhi's Aerocity in partnership with Marriott International, expected to open in 2027. Expansion will focus on Tier-I and Tier-II cities, including North East India, amid strong domestic travel demand and limited premium hotel supply.
