TFCIL is expanding its lending focus beyond hospitality to include real estate and MSME solar financing, aiming for INR 2,000 crore in disbursements in the next fiscal year. Current exposure to hospitality is about 65%, which the company plans to reduce to around 50% by FY27 through diversified lending. Its initiatives include financing hotel infrastructure, promoting green energy adoption via MSME solar projects, and launching a tourism-focused Alternative Investment Fund. With urbanisation and office work trends, TFCIL is evolving into a key partner for sustainable tourism, real estate, and MSME development.
The Tourism Finance Corporation of India Limited (TFCIL) is set to significantly broaden its lending portfolio, extending beyond hospitality to include real estate and MSME solar financing within the tourism ecosystem. The company is targeting INR 2,000 crore in disbursements in the next fiscal year, reflecting strong demand for hotel and real estate funding. While hospitality continues to be the core sector, which currently accounts for about 65% of TFCIL's exposure, the company plans to reduce this share to around 50% by FY27 through increased participation in real estate and MSME lending.

TFCIL's Managing Director and CEO Anoop Bali stated that as travel and tourism recover, there are strong opportunities for financing hotel infrastructure and sustainable initiatives. He highlighted that the company's MSME solar financing, along with a proposed tourism-focused Alternative Investment Fund (AIF), will encourage the adoption of green energy and strengthen the tourism value chain.
The solar lending strategy will focus on installations across hotels, resorts, and ancillary MSMEs such as restaurants and other tourism services. This approach aims to improve sustainability, reduce operational costs, and diversify the company's asset portfolio. With urbanisation driving mixed-use real estate developments and increasing office work resumption, TFCIL is positioning itself as a key NBFC partner for hospitality-led real estate and renewable infrastructure projects.
Bali also noted that asset quality and prudent credit management will remain central priorities as TFCIL expands into new sectors, with continuous monitoring of non-performing assets. He described this strategic shift as an evolution from a traditional tourism lender into a diversified financial institution supporting India's broader infrastructure, renewable energy, and MSME ecosystem.
