The world economy is still recovering from the unprecedented upheavals
of the last three years, and the recent banking turmoil has increased uncertainties. The
global output growth expected to fall from 3.4% last year to 2.8% in 2023. Advanced
economies are expected to see an especially pronounced growth slowdown from 2.7% in 2022
to 1.3% in 2023. The Global inflation is set to fall from 8.7% in 2022 to 7% in 2023 on
the back of lower commodity prices but underlying core inflation is proving to be stickier

The global economy is projected to grow by 1.7% in 2023 and 2.7% in
2024. Global growth is slowing sharply in the face of elevated inflation, higher interest
rates, reduced investment, and disruptions caused by Russia?s invasion of Ukraine,
according to the World Bank?s latest Global Economic Prospects report [Source: World
Bank: Jan, 2023].
Indian Economy
India?s growth continues to be resilient despite some signs of
moderation in growth, as per the World Bank?s in its latest India Development.
Although significant challenges remain in the global environment, India was one of the
fastest growing economies in the world. The overall growth remains robust and is estimated
to be 6.9 percent for the full year with real GDP growing 7.7 percent year-on-year during
the first three quarters of fiscal year 2022/23. There were some signs of moderation in
the second half of FY 22/23. Growth was underpinned by strong investment activity
bolstered by the Government?s capex push and buoyant private consumption,
particularly among higher income earners. Inflation remained high, averaging around 6.7
percent in FY22/23 on the back of strong growth in service exports and easing global
commodity prices.
Growth is expected to be constrained by slower consumption growth and
challenging external conditions. Rising borrowing costs and slower income growth will
weigh on private consumption growth, and government consumption is projected to grow at a
slower pace due to the withdrawal of pandemic-related fiscal support measures.
However, inflation headwinds were also felt by the Indian economy with
increase in crude oil prices and we saw interest rate hikes done were by the Reserve Bank
of India to control inflation. The India rupee weakness against the US dollar also added
to the inflationary pressures. According to the International Monetary Fund, Indian
economy is projected to deliver robust growth of 5.9% for 2023, highest amongst the
emerging economies, driven by strong domestic demand and healthy consumption growth
supported by an improvement in labour market conditions, increasing consumer confidence,
an expected recovery in rural the Union Budget for FY2023-24, the government announced a
33% increase in capex allocation to INR 10 trillion, which is expected to boost private
investments. The Budget has also targeted a lower fiscal deficit in FY2023-24 at 5.9% and
the government has committed to bring it down to below 4.5% by FY2025-26.
Risk to the above trend remain with weakness in the global economy
impacting exports, volatility in food and crude oil prices, slowdown in private
consumption and aggressive monetary tightening by global central banks to moderate
inflation.
Business Performance / Opportunities
In 2022, the hospitality industry received a significant boost from the
domestic leisure segment, which is also expected to continue the recovery in demand.
Domestic tourism is creeping nearly pre-pandemic levels, with hotels reporting occupancies
close to those seen before the Covid-19 outbreak. The industry is drifting surge in
business from both domestic and international market. Leisure markets have continued to
lead recovery, but business travel is also back in the country post-Omicron.
In financialyear 2021-22, the domestic hotel industry recorded an
occupancy rate of 50 per cent. For financial year 2022-23, this rate is expected to climb
to 69-70 per cent. In first Quarter of financial year 2023, Indian Hotels reported
improved performance amid a surge in demand as the occupancy and rate reaching pre- Covid
levels. Being a cyclical stock, Indian Hotels is exposed to the changes in the
macro-economic factors, as well as and tourist arrival growth in India.
As per our organizational performance, the average room occupancy was
78.79 % in F.Y. 2022-23 as compare to 47% in F.Y. 2021-22. For
Financial Year 2022-23, the performance in Gross revenue was Rs.
8,300.34 Lacs as compare to Rs. 3,808.75 Lacs in F.Y. 2021-22. The Total
Comprehensive Income after taxes was Rs. 1,847.08 Lacs (2022-23) as
compare to Rs. 215.55 Lacs for the year ended in previous financial year (2021-22).
Hotels have recently witnessed an increase in operational expenses due
to high inflationary pressure, supply chain disruptions and the rising exchange rate.
Under-construction projects are also facing escalating input and construction costs due to
high inflation across the global economy. Additionally, the next wave of the pandemic
might be just looming round the corner. However, the resurgence in demand is likely to
supersede the detrimental effect of short-term uncertainty due to economic volatility, the
potential next wave and manpower crisis.
