India’s tiger recovery is one of the world’s most significant wildlife efforts. The country’s tiger population rose from 2,967 in 2018 to an estimated 3,682 in 2022, reflecting annual growth of 6.1%, according to the latest All India Tiger Estimation.

India is now home to more than 70% of the world’s wild tiger population. Project Tiger launched in 1973 with nine reserves. It has since expanded to 58 reserves spanning nearly 84,500 sq km across 18 states.
Nearly one-third of India’s tigers live outside designated reserves. This highlights the growing importance of wildlife corridors, habitat connectivity and human-wildlife coexistence.
The tiger has remained central to Royal Ranthambore’s identity. Earlier this year, the brand introduced the Royal Ranthambore Heritage Collection, featuring six limited-edition collectible packs inspired by iconic tigers and brought to life through Indian art forms.
