Imagicaaworld Entertainment Limited has announced the proposed divestment of its 287-key Novotel Imagicaa hotel for ₹248 crore to Juniper Hotels Limited. This transaction, structured as a slump sale, is subject to definitive agreements and regulatory approvals. The strategic rationale includes strengthening the balance sheet, sharpening focus on the core, high-margin park business, and unlocking capital for expansion in new geographies and indoor entertainment.

Juniper Hotels' planned upscaling of the hotel is anticipated to enhance the overall Imagicaa destination experience.
