During the quarter, the revenue has improved on a YoY basis by 9.2%, while the Profit After Tax improved by 28%. A major contributor to the topline was strong leisure, wedding and MICE demand. Additionally, this growth was achieved without adding any rooms or F&B facilities and the Company’s fixed assets have remained same over a period of time.

In Q3 FY25, the EBITDA margin increased to 46.6%, there was an increase in margins due to large number of weddings in this period compared to last year, which resulted in higher income in food and beverage and other services at higher margins.

During Q3 FY25, the hotel recorded an average occupancy of 84.9% vs 85.4% last year. Instead of growth driven by occupancy, our growth propelled by an increase in the Total Revenue per Occupied Room per night (TRevPOR), which increased during Q3 FY25 to INR 24,065 vs INR 21,783 last year, reflecting a growth of 10.5%.
