Chander K. Baljee, Chairman & Managing Director, said, “We’re thrilled to have delivered balanced portfolio growth across regions while introducing new travel experiences to our global patrons. The momentum in travel has continued, and we have paid a lot of attention to what our customers have said and continue to strategically enhance and upgrade our assets and offerings, catering to the evolving needs of the Indian guest. With 30+ hotels signed across the country and a growing pipeline, we are gearing up to cater to the diverse needs of travelers across segments. Our focus on return of capital is paramount, and we continue to measure that metric with a keen eye while delivering increases in same-store revenue across the portfolio. We look forward to continuing to deliver sustainable growth as we continue with our strong expansion plans for the coming quarters.”
The group’s EBITDA for the year reached Rs 96.78 crores, a slight increase from Rs 95.16 crores in FY24. Profit after tax was Rs 47.50 crores, showing a small decline from Rs 50.82 crores the previous year. Despite this marginal dip, the company maintains a stable financial path with ongoing positive cash flows and strong returns for investors.
In alignment with its asset-light growth strategy, Royal Orchid has signed over 30 new hotel deals across India. Arjun Baljee, president, said, “Our asset-right model has enabled us to sign a record number of new deals, taking our pipeline to over 30+ properties across segments and brands. The successful opening of 14 new Regenta hotels (963+ keys) has further strengthened our presence in the midscale and value segments. We are diversifying our portfolio with new brands catering to different segments and look forward to the opening of Iconiqa Hotel Mumbai International Airport, which is a category-defining upscale lifestyle hotel in India.”
The upcoming property at Mumbai Airport’s Terminal 2 aims to become a key asset in Royal Orchid’s portfolio, targeting upscale travelers and business professionals. This development aligns with the brand’s ongoing push into premium lifestyle offerings while continuing to strengthen its presence in the mid-market and business hotel segments.
Currently, the Royal Orchid and Regenta network includes over 110 hotels nationwide, featuring more than 90 operational Regenta hotels. Regenta remains the group’s primary growth driver, with sub-brands like Regenta Central, Regenta Resort, Regenta Place, and Regenta Inn catering to a wide range of market segments from budget to upscale.
To boost guest retention and brand loyalty, the company is actively enhancing its Regenta Rewards loyalty program. Moreover, this initiative will unify the entire hotel portfolio under a single platform, thereby delivering consistent and rewarding experiences.
Royal Orchid Hotels continues to solidify its position as a leading player in India’s hospitality sector through strategic property additions, a diverse portfolio, and a strong focus on customer loyalty.
With its upcoming premium airport property and a robust network under the Regenta brand, the company is well-equipped to meet the evolving needs of both leisure and business travelers while delivering sustained financial stability and growth.
