India Retails and Hospitality Private Limited (IRHPL) has announced a significant expansion of its airport retail presence in Delhi with the rollout of multiple NeoTravel stores across key airport locations. The expansion strengthens the company’s growing footprint in India’s travel retail ecosystem while ensuring coverage across both departure and arrival areas to serve travellers throughout their journey.
A 360-Degree Approach to Airport Retail
This growth forms part of IRHPL’s broader 360-degree approach to travel retail, centred on strategic brand partnerships, design-led store formats, and insight-driven assortment planning to elevate passenger experience in high-footfall transit environments.
Convenience Retail as a Critical Travel Category
Importantly, airport convenience retail is not merely an add-on category — it is an essential one. Travellers often rely on airport stores for last-minute necessities, forgotten essentials, device accessories, reading material, snacks, and beverages. In a time-bound environment where accessibility and immediacy matter most, this category plays a critical functional role in ensuring smooth and stress-free journeys. Recognising this, IRHPL has positioned NeoTravel as a purpose-built, high-efficiency format designed specifically to serve these immediate and essential travel needs.
Curated Product Offering for Modern Travellers
NeoTravel offers a carefully curated range of high-utility products including beverages, books, confectionery, power banks, chargers, and international adapters — categories that support seamless travel and address the practical requirements of passengers on the move.
Design-Led Retail Format
NeoTravel further differentiates itself through a clean and cohesive store design. Moving away from the cluttered layouts typical of conventional airport convenience stores, the brand follows a consistent visual language with uniform wall and floor fixtures. Its international yet minimalist aesthetic enhances product visibility, ease of navigation, and speed of purchase — important factors in an airport environment where time is limited.
Leadership Perspective
Commenting on the development, Naresh Sharma, CEO, IRHPL, Group of Companies, said: “NeoTravel brings together food, beverages, and travel essentials in a single, convenient airport retail format. Built on our pillars of health and convenience, the concept responds to modern travellers’ demand for healthier options within an international-standard store environment. The brand name itself reflects our commitment to creating a new way of travel retail in India.”
