Strategic Investment by Warburg Pincus In January 2026, global private equity firm Warburg Pincus agreed to invest ₹960 crore in Lemon Tree’s subsidiary, Fleur Hotels. This investment is part of a broader restructuring plan aimed at unlocking value and accelerating the growth of the company’s owned hotel portfolio. This move is expected to assist in the company's long-term deleveraging journey. International and Domestic Footprint As of March 2026, Lemon Tree’s total network (operational and pipeline) has surpassed 215 hotels with over 17,500 rooms. The company continues to expand its international presence in Nepal (specifically Chitwan) and Bhutan, alongside its existing operational hotel in Dubai. Domestic growth remains focused on high-potential micro-markets within Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities.
