Strategic Investments and Expansion​

Imagicaaworld Entertainment Limited announced several key moves to diversify and expand its national footprint. The company invested Rs. 50 crores for a 50.002% stake in Mehsana Next Parks Private Limited (MNPPL), the Special Purpose Vehicle that operates Shanku's Water Park in Mehsana. The partnership includes undertaking Operations and Maintenance (O&M) of the park and earning management fees anticipated to be in the range of 6%-10%.

The company also progressed with its Hello Park initiative, signing Letters of Intent (LOI) for two locations. The first location is at Lake Shore Y Junction Mall in Hyderabad, spanning approximately 10,000 sq. ft., with operations targeted before the year-end festive season. The second LOI was signed for a park at Phoenix Mall's upcoming development in Surat, covering an area of roughly 9,000 sq. ft. This move expands the company’s presence in the indoor family entertainment segment.

Management Perspective​

Commenting on the Q1 FY27 results, Jai Malpani, Managing Director, Imagicaaworld Entertainment Limited stated that the first quarter of FY27 marked a strong start. The 20% year-on-year growth was attributed to robust footfalls during the peak holiday season and the benefit derived from an extended summer period across all catchments.

Malpani highlighted that acquiring a 50% stake in Shanku's Water Park positions Imagicaaworld as Gujarat's largest water park, representing a strategic addition to its portfolio. The company also plans to rebrand this acquired park as Aqua Imagicaa, aiming to leverage the brand recall of Imagicaa while expanding into one of India's fast-growing leisure markets.

Furthermore, he expressed excitement over the entry into the indoor entertainment segment via Hello Park. With operations targeted for completion in Hyderabad by the end of the year and a second location secured in Surat, Malpani noted that this format is set to complement existing outdoor parks, enabling year-round customer engagement and fostering scalable growth across urban markets.

Imagicaaworld Entertainment Limited operates several major destinations including Imagicaa, WetnJoy, and Sai Teerth, maintaining a commitment to providing world-class experiences across its parks.
