In international markets, ITC Ratnadipa in Sri Lanka sustained its leadership in RevPAR and delivered positive EBITDA for the quarter. The company also continued the progressive handover of Sapphire Residences, with 16 apartments handed over to date.

Revenue Segment Analysis​

Revenue from operations (excluding Branded Residences) grew by 10% year-on-year. Key drivers included:
  • Room Revenue: Grew 8% YoY, supported by strong retail segment performance.
  • ADR and Occupancy: Average Daily Rates (ADRs) grew 4%, while occupancy expanded by 290 bps, resulting in an 8% growth in RevPAR.
  • F&B Revenue: Increased by 11% YoY, primarily driven by specialty outlets and banqueting.
  • Management Fees: Registered a 35% year-on-year growth due to the strong performance of managed hotels in leisure locations.

The company maintained a RevPAR premium of 33% over the industry average (India - Luxury, Upper Upscale & Upscale; Domestic owned hotels YTD May'26).

Sustainability and Responsible Luxury​

ITC Hotels continues to lead in "Responsible Luxury" through significant investments in green infrastructure. During the quarter, the company commissioned a 1.5 MWp captive solar plant at ITC Grand Bharat, Delhi NCR, bringing its total installed renewable energy capacity to 52.4 MW.

The company also achieved notable environmental certifications:

Future Growth Projections​

The company has outlined a clear roadmap to reach an operating footprint of 250 hotels and over 22,000 keys by 2031. A significant part of this growth is driven by the acquisition of GHK Hospitality and Infrastructures Limited, which includes Welcomhotel Ahmedabad. This acquisition involves a 130-key operational hotel located in a high-demand commercial corridor for an enterprise value of ₹ 155 crores on a debt-free and cash-free basis.

The portfolio is expected to grow significantly through both owned and managed segments:
  • Owned Portfolio: Targeted to reach ~7,500 keys by 2031 from the current 5,700+ keys.
