4. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS a) INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS
The hospitality industry in India has evolved into a dynamic and multi-segmented sector, encompassing accommodation services, food and beverage (F&B) operations, travel and tourism support, and allied wellness and leisure services. The industry structure includes luxury hotels, midscale and budget accommodations, boutique stays, serviced apartments, homestays, and new-age platforms like Airbnb. Alongside, food services from high-end dining to quick service restaurants and cloud kitchens have become a vital part of the value chain. Supporting segments such as online travel agencies, medical tourism, MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions), and wellness retreats also contribute significantly to the ecosystem. Recent years have seen a strong post-pandemic recovery, with occupancy rates and revenue metrics exceeding pre-COVID benchmarks in key markets. Budget and midscale chains have expanded aggressively into Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, driven by franchise models and rising domestic travel. Simultaneously, technology adoption such as contactless check-ins, AI-driven pricing, and app-based services has transformed customer experience and operational efficiency. The rise of wellness tourism, destination weddings, and sustainable hospitality practices has opened up new growth avenues. Backed by robust government policies, 100% FDI allowance, and improved infrastructure under schemes like Swadesh Darshan and Dekho Apna Desh, the Indian hospitality sector is on a strong growth trajectory. These developments signal a positive outlook for shareholders, with opportunities to unlock value through strategic expansion, digital investments, andasset-lightbusinessmodels.
b) OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS
(i) Opportunities
The Indian hospitality industry presents a wealth of opportunities that position it as a high-potential sector for investors and shareholders. With rising disposable incomes, a young and travel-savvy population, and strong government backing, there is a consistent surge in domestic and inbound tourism. Rapid urbanization, improved air and road connectivity, and the growth of Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities offer untapped markets for hotel expansion. The increasing popularity of medical and wellness tourism, experiential stays, and digital-first travel services has opened new revenue streams for hospitality companies. Additionally, the rise in corporate travel, MICE events, and destination weddings provides opportunities to enhance average revenue per customer.
(ii) Threats
However, the industry is not without challenges. Operational costs are rising due to inflation and high compliance burdens. The sector faces a shortage of skilled manpower and growing competition from unregulated platforms like homestays and short-term rentals (e.g., Airbnb). External threats such as geopolitical tensions, public health emergencies, or fluctuating foreign exchange rates can directly impact travel sentiment and business volumes. Moreover, evolving consumer expectations require continuous investment in technology, sustainability, and service quality.
Despite these threats, the long-term outlook remains positive, and with prudent risk management and strategic positioning, the hospitality sector offers shareholders a strong potential for value creation and sustained growth.
c) SEGMENT WISE PERFORMANCE
The Company has only one segment viz hoteliering. Accordingly the performance is furnished hereunder.
Total turnover for the year ended 31st March,2025 amounted to 83,41,07,261 increased by 8,20,30,927 as compared to the previous year turnover of 75,20,76,334. Total expenditure for the year ended 31st March 2025 amounted to 68,00,43,099 increased by 6,15,96,458 as compared to the previous year. The profit (EBITDA) before depreciation, finance cost and tax for the year ended 31st March,2025,amounted to 18,60,64,439 as against the profit of 16,23,16,336 over the corresponding period last year. The deferred tax for the year ended 31st March,2025 amounted to NIL. After accounting for taxes the Company reported a Profit after Tax for FY 2024-25 of 13,24,15,863 in comparison with a Profitof 10,30,48,487 for FY 2023-24.
d) OUTLOOK
The outlook for the Indian hospitality industry over the next few years is highly optimistic, driven by a confluence of economic, demographic, and policy tailwinds. The sector is expected to continue its robust growth trajectory, with projected annual growth rates of 8 10% through FY 2025 26. Strong domestic demand, coupled with a gradual resurgence in foreign tourist arrivals, is expected to fuel occupancy and revenue per available room (RevPAR) across segments.
The shift in consumer preferences toward experiential, wellness, and sustainable travel is reshaping service offerings, creating space for innovation and premiumization. At the same time, rapid digital transformation through AI-based booking platforms, contactless check-ins, and personalized customer experiences is enhancing operational efficiency and guest satisfaction.
Government initiatives such as Swadesh Darshan, PRASAD, and 100% FDI in tourism infrastructure are reinforcing the investment climate, particularly in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. Despite global uncertainties, Indias hospitality sector is well-positioned to emerge as one of the fastest-growing markets globally, offering shareholders long-term stability, rising profitability, and a strong runway for expansion.
e) RISK AND CONCERNS
While the Indian hospitality industry offers significant growth potential, it is also subject to a range of risks and operational concerns that shareholders should be aware of. The sector remains highly sensitive to external shocks such as geopolitical instability, pandemics, natural disasters, and global economic downturns, all of which can abruptly affect travel sentiment and occupancy levels. Inflationary pressures, including rising energy costs, wages, and input prices, continue to strain operating margins. Regulatory compliance, especially related to environmental norms, tax laws, and safety standards, adds to operational complexity, particularly for multi-property chains. Additionally, competition is intensifying due to the rise of unregulated accommodation platforms like short-stay rentals (e.g., Airbnb), putting pricing pressure on traditional players. Talent shortages and high attrition rates, especially in service and culinary roles, also hinder scalability and service consistency. The increasing dependency on digital platforms exposes operators to cyber risks and demands constant investment in technology. Lastly, while Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities offer expansion opportunities, limited infrastructure and inconsistent demand patterns may pose challenges. Addressing these risks through robust governance, proactive risk management, and a flexible operating model is crucial for sustaining long-term shareholder value.
f) INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEMS AND ADEQUACY.
The hospitality industry operates in a high-touch, service-intensive environment, requiring strong internal control systems to ensure operational efficiency, compliance, and financial integrity. Well-designed internal controls are essential to manage the diverse revenue streams such as room bookings, food and beverage services, banquets, and ancillary operations while safeguarding against fraud, pilferage, and leakage.
Leading hospitality players in India have implemented structured internal audit mechanisms, automated point-of-sale (POS) systems, inventory management tools, and cash-flow monitoring processes to enhance accountability and transparency. Many operators also utilize ERP and cloud-based hotel management platforms to track real-time data across multiple locations. Internal control frameworks are regularly reviewed by management and independent audit committees to ensure adequacy in light of changing business conditions, technology adoption, and regulatory requirements.
Furthermore, emphasis is placed on data security, cybersecurity protocols, guest privacy compliance, and procurement discipline. As the sector grows more complex, maintaining robust and scalable internal control systems remains a priority to uphold stakeholder trust, ensure financial accuracy, and support long-term sustainable growth.
