New Delhi, Tata Group-owned Indian Hotels Company on Monday reported a 28.4 percent rise in its consolidated net profit to Rs 562.66 crore for the fourth quarter ended March.
The country’s largest hospitality firm had posted a net profit of Rs 438.33 crore on a consolidated basis in the same period a year ago.
During the January-March 2025 quarter, Indian Hotels Company Ltd (IHCL) reported a 27.3 percent rise in revenue from operations to Rs 2,425.14 crore from Rs 1,905.34 crore a year ago.
However, its total expenses rose to Rs 1,764.26 crore from Rs 1,416.77 crore in the same period a year ago, a regulatory filing showed.
IHCL’s revenue reporting segments include hotel services and air and institutional catering (Taj SATS, etc).
Punit Chhatwal, Managing Director and CEO, IHCL said, “The fourth quarter marks twelve consecutive quarters of record performance, with consolidated hotel segment revenues registering a robust 13 per cent growth, resulting in EBITDA margins of 38.5 per cent.”
The consolidated double-digit revenue growth for the year was driven by strong same-store performance and a 40 per cent growth in new businesses.
“IHCL set a new benchmark with 74 contracts and 26 openings this fiscal and over 95 percent of these contracts were capital-less,” Chhatwal said.
He informed that in FY26, IHCL will invest over Rs 1,200 crore for continued comprehensive asset management and upgradation programme and greenfield projects, focusing on the iconic brand Taj and digital capabilities.
Chhatwal said, “Looking ahead to FY26, IHCL is poised to continue delivering double-digit revenue growth, driven by strong same-store performance, continued momentum in new businesses and the opening of 30 new hotels. The sector outlook remains strong with demand outstripping supply, improving foreign tourist arrivals and steady momentum across the leisure, social and MICE segments.”
