EBITDA increased 16 PC to INR 0.246 billion, while profit after tax surged 74 PC to INR 1.33 billion.

On a consolidated basis, RevPAR grew 11 pc, commanding a 40 pc premium over the industry.
In a press statement, ITC Hotels says that the food and beverage segment grew 5 pc, supported by outlet sales and banqueting, despite a normalised wedding segment due to fewer auspicious dates. ITC Hotels have multiple culinary accolades for its premium restaurants, including honours in Condé Nast Traveller’s Top 50 Restaurants. The company’s EBITDA margin expanded 215 basis points, led by revenue growth, operating advantage, cost controls, and higher management fees.
The statement adds that key highlight is the launch of the new premium brand, ‘Epiq Collection Member ITC Hotels,’ aimed at accelerating growth in the premium segment. The brand’s first hotels in Puri and Tirupati will add about 1,000 keys over the medium term. ITC Hotels also strengthened its footprint with signings in key markets such as Patna, Hyderabad, Tirupati, Wayanad, Nellore, and Mantralayam, and opened new properties in Kerala and Bihar.
According to the statement, sustainability remains central, with commissioning of a 3.3 MW windmill facility in Gujarat to have renewable energy use and progress on multiple LEED Platinum and Zero Carbon certified hotels. ITC’s international venture, ITC Ratnadipa in Colombo, continues to lead in RevPAR and turned EBITDA positive, benefiting from Sri Lanka’s tourism resurgence. The company also rolled out an enhanced Club ITC loyalty programme, enriching guest experiences through tiered rewards and digital upgrades.
This performance was achieved despite seasonal softness, monsoon impacts, and geopolitical uncertainties, supported by India’s resilient economy and ongoing demand in premium hospitality. The outlook for the remainder of FY25-26 remains optimistic with rising discretionary spending and expanding travel infrastructure, the statement adds.
