Shwetank Singh, MD and CEO of Chalet Hotels Limited, stated that Q1 set a strong foundation for the full year, maintaining resilient overall performance despite geopolitical complexities. He noted that demand sentiment was mixed this quarter, observing flat air traffic from April to June but pointed towards potential recovery in domestic travel following market disruption in March. The recovery is being driven by domestic demand, although international business remained flat year-over-year due to the West Asia conflict.
Singh highlighted that the strong momentum witnessed across Hospitality and Annuity segments underscores the inherent strength of the company’s business model. He added that with major projects such as Taj Delhi International Airport in New Delhi and CIGNUS II in Powai nearing completion, the current fiscal year looks promising, benefiting from favourable tailwinds driven by rising discretionary spending and growing urban affluence in India's domestic hospitality industry.
