TajGVK Hotels & Resorts renamed as Krishna GVK Luxury Hotels

Krishna GVK Luxury Hotels (formerly TajGVK Hotels & Resorts ) today announced that its new name has taken effect, following the issue of a fresh Certificate of Incorporation by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs on 30 October 2026.

The change follows a shift in the Company's ownership.

In December 2025, The Indian Hotels Company (IHCL) sold its entire 25.52% stake in the Company to the GVK-Bhupal promoter family, and IHCL's nominee directors stepped down from the Board on 30 December 2025.

Formed in 1995 as a joint venture between the GVK-Bhupal family and IHCL, the Company is now owned and led entirely by the promoter family. The new name, Krishna GVK Luxury Hotels , reflects this structure and the Company's focus on the luxury segment. While the corporate name has changed, the hotels themselves remain Taj.

IHCL continues to operate all the hotels in the portfolio under the Taj brand through long-term hotel management agreements, and guests, employees and partners will see no change in brand, service or standards. For more than 25 years the two groups have built a lasting partnership that continues to grow stronger year after year.

Krishna GVK today owns six operating hotels across Hyderabad, Chennai, Chandigarh and Mumbai: Taj Krishna, Taj Deccan and Vivanta Begumpet in Hyderabad, Taj Club House in Chennai, Taj Chandigarh, and Taj Santacruz in Mumbai, the last held through its subsidiary Greenwoods Palaces & Resorts Private Limited.

The next phase of growth begins in Bengaluru. Taj Yelahanka will be the first hotel to open under the Krishna GVK name, taking the portfolio to seven hotels. It follows the same model as the rest of the portfolio: owned by Krishna GVK and operated by IHCL under the Taj brand.
