I now hand the conference over to Ms. Aishwarya V R, Investor Relations Department at Ventive
Hospitality. Thank you, and over to you, Ms. Aishwarya.
Aishwarya: Thank you. Good evening, everyone, and thank you for joining the earnings conference call for
quarter ended June 30th, 2026. Our financial results and investor presentation have been
published on the exchanges and the information pack has been placed in the Investor Relations
section of our website, www.ventivehospitality.com.
Before we proceed, I'd like to highlight that the management may make certain statements that
may constitute forward-looking statements. Please be advised that actual results may differ
materially from these statements. Ventive Hospitality does not guarantee these statements or
results and is not obligated to update them at any point of time.
Specifically, any financial guidance and proforma information that we share on this call are
management estimates based on certain assumptions and have not been subjected to audit,
review, or examination procedures. Joining me today on the call are Ranjit Batra, Chief
Executive Officer; Paresh Bafna, Chief Financial Officer; and Shoaib Shariff from the Investor
Relations team. We will start off with brief remarks on our business and financial performance
and then open the floor for Q&A.
Over to you, Ranjit.
Ranjit Batra: Good evening, and thank you all for making time to join us today. Let me begin with the external
backdrop which shaped this quarter. The West Asia conflict was the single most important
external variable for our Maldives portfolio, shipping disruptions through the Straits of Hormuz
and pushing crude, jet fuel, and diesel prices sharply upwards for us.
April, we saw the first disruption in Maldives inbound tourism and then recovered strongly
through May and June, ensuring our Maldives revenue still grew by 5% year-on-year in the
quarter. The more material effect was our cost base through a sharp rise in Maldives fuel cost,
which I'll address shortly.
Coming to India hospitality, in India, business delivered strong quarter yet again. Revenue grew
13% to INR203 crores supported by resilient corporate demand, strong MICE activity, and
premium leisure. This led our Pune, Bengaluru, and Goa assets to perform considerably well.
India EBITDA grew 16% to INR74 crores. And most importantly, our India margin expanded
36% from 35% even after absorbing higher power and wage costs during this quarter.

This reflects our operating leverage inherent in the portfolio. Pune in particular continues to
validate our long-standing thesis. It's now India's fastest growing GCC hub and very little new
or limited supply in hotels, which leaves our top-tier assets structurally well-placed on both rate
and occupancy.
I would also like to highlight the structural progress we're making on energy costs in India.
Around 70% of electricity used by our Pune hotels portfolio already comes from green sources,
which insulates us from tariff increase. We have now invested around INR60 crores in captive
solar plant with battery storage for our Pune hotels targeting commissioning in Q4 FY27, which
will raise our green energy contribution to around 85%.
We expect this to reduce our Pune energy bill by close to 45%, a positive impact of 5% to 6%
on India EBITDA with a payback of roughly 3 years. I'm proud of the team that structured this,
and it has given me confidence and continued improvement of our India hospitality margins.
In Maldives, revenue grew 5%, INR218 crores, a resilient outcome given the war-related
cancellations early in the quarter and the sharp recovery that followed. The pressure this quarter
was on costs, not on demand. EBITDA was INR32 crores, down 32%, almost entirely due to
fuel. Diesel prices reached roughly 2.1x pre-war levels, driving a fuel and ancillary costs increase
of around INR19 crores. At Raaya, we are increasing solar capacity, taking the resort to about
80% solar with battery backup by April 2027, with further capacity being added at Conrad and
Anantara.
Together, we expect this to save us around $1.5 million a year, roughly 2.5 percentage of
Maldives EBITDA and to protect the portfolio against exactly this kind of diesel shocks in the
future. Raaya will be able to generate and operate around 17 hours of solar capacity and will be
the first resort in Maldives to do so.
Our annuity business remains steadily high margin backbone of the group. Revenue grew 3% to
INR128 crores, with EBITDA broadly flat at INR111 crores at 87% margin and committed
occupancy holding at 98%. This dependable cash flow is what allows us to keep investing
through the cycles, and we recently added Narmada Estates in Pune, which will extend the base
further.
On growth, the markee addition this quarter, Sahyadri Hills, Wellness Estate, a Ritz-Carlton
Reserve, the 10th in the world, set out at around 425 acres, roughly 2 to 3 hours from Mumbai
and Pune and around 45 minutes from Alibaug. It's an 80-key wellness resort with 33 branded
residences alongside, and it takes Ventive firmly into luxury wellness and branded residences,
one of the fastest growing segments in global travel.
We have acquired it 100% at an equity consideration of around INR281 crores and enterprise
value of around INR466 crores, targeting a yield-on-cost above 12%. The acquisition completed
in July with occupancy certificate already received. The branded residence sales are designed to
release capital early and help us fund the build. And there's an embedded upside in the land bank
with unused FSI.
