Absorption spectra of high‐quality layered TlGaSe 2 single crystals were measured in a wide temperature range. Results obtained at low temperatures show that the direct excitonic absorption initiating at E Gdir = 2.127 eV is perturbed by several series of step‐like features inherent for the indirect type transitions. Spectral modelling of these features revealed that: (i) the ground state of indirect exciton, n = 1, has a large Rydberg energy of about 100 meV, and (ii) the enhanced absorption to excited indirect excitonic states, n = 2, 3, exceeds the classical prediction for scaling factors K 1 ind / n 3 .
