TFCIL's New Play: Real Estate & Solar Power ₹2,000 Cr Ambition

The Tourism Finance Corporation of India (TFCIL) has announced plans to achieve ₹2,000 crore in disbursements for FY26, driven by strong demand across the hospitality and real estate financing sectors.

Managing Director and CEO Anoop Bali outlined the company’s strategy to diversify its lending portfolio, aiming to reduce hospitality exposure from the current 65% to about 50% by FY27 through increased focus on real estate and MSME lending. A key growth driver will be TFCIL’s solar lending initiative, supporting solar installations across hotels, resorts, restaurants, and tourism-linked MSMEs—promoting both sustainability and energy cost efficiency.

The company is also developing a tourism-focused Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) to accelerate green energy adoption within the tourism ecosystem. With urbanisation and hybrid work models fueling demand for mixed-use real estate, TFCIL aims to strengthen its position as a leading NBFC in hospitality-led real estate and renewable infrastructure financing, while maintaining strong asset-quality discipline.
