IRHPL Is Redefining Airport Convenience Retail in Delhi With Its Multi-Store NeoTravel Expansion

Anyone who has rushed through an airport looking for a charger, a snack, or a last-minute essential knows exactly how important a well-stocked, easy-to-navigate convenience store can be. IRHPL is building something around that very need, and its multi-store NeoTravel expansion across Delhi airport is the most visible step yet in that direction.

India Retails and Hospitality Private Limited has rolled out multiple NeoTravel stores across key locations at Delhi airport, covering both departure and arrival areas to serve travellers at every stage of their journey. The expansion is part of IRHPL's broader 360-degree approach to travel retail, combining strategic brand partnerships, design-led store formats, and insight-driven product selection to genuinely improve the airport convenience experience.

The name NeoTravel was chosen deliberately. It combines "Neo," representing new-age thinking and modernity, with "Travel," reflecting the evolving needs of today's passengers. Together, the name captures what IRHPL is trying to build: a new way of doing airport retail in India.

The product range at NeoTravel is curated with the time-pressed traveller in mind. Beverages, books, confectionery, power banks, chargers, and international adapters form the core of the offering, covering the practical gaps that most travellers encounter at airports. Alongside familiar trusted brands, the stores also introduce emerging products that reflect modern lifestyle preferences, including sugar-free, gluten-free, and sustainable options that are being brought into airport retail environments for the first time in many cases.

The store design is a deliberate departure from the cluttered layouts that often define airport convenience retail. NeoTravel follows a clean, minimalist visual language with uniform fixtures and a consistent layout that allows passengers to quickly find what they need without having to slow down. In an environment where time is genuinely limited, that clarity matters more than most retailers acknowledge.

Naresh Sharma, CEO of IRHPL Group of Companies, explained the thinking behind the concept. "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."

Beyond the immediate expansion, IRHPL sees NeoTravel as a scalable concept with long-term potential across airports, travel hubs, and eventually beyond airport environments. As India's aviation sector continues to grow in passenger numbers, the opportunity for well-designed, thoughtfully stocked convenience retail is only going to increase. NeoTravel is being built to grow alongside that demand.
