Royal Orchid Hotels Ltd. (ROHL), one of India’s rapidly expanding hospitality groups, announced strong financial results for the Quarter and Half Year ending September 30, 2025, signaling continued momentum in its expansion strategy. The group, which operates over 100 hotels nationwide, reported robust growth in its consolidated revenue and a key addition to its portfolio near Mumbai Airport.
The consolidated total income for the Half Year (H1 FY26) stood at INR 169.57 Crores, marking a significant 11% growth compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year (H1 FY25). Concurrently, the consolidated Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) grew by 9%, reaching INR 44.46 Crores.
The standalone income for the Half Year closed at INR 98.10 Crores. The company noted that the adoption of IND-AS 116 resulted in a notional increase of approximately INR 6.35 crores in depreciation and finance cost, primarily due to the recent investment in the new Iconiqa Mumbai property, which has successfully commenced operations.
Mr. Chander K. Baljee, Chairman & Managing Director of ROHL, expressed satisfaction with the results and strategic progress. “We are pleased to report balanced portfolio growth across regions, demonstrating an increase in revenue over the same period last year,” he stated. Mr. Baljee also highlighted the rapid opening of Iconiqa Mumbai within an “unprecedented budget,” reinforcing the company’s commitment to strategic and efficient growth.
Aggressive Expansion Strategy
The hospitality group is embarking on an aggressive expansion phase, having added six new properties during the quarter. Management confirmed that the company is on track to meet its 2030 goals, with plans to add more than 1,800 keys over the next six months and open over 30 hotels in the near future across its five brands.
The Regenta brand continues to serve as the primary growth vehicle, unifying the group’s extensive portfolio. This network of over 100 properties is now underpinned by the new Regenta Rewards loyalty platform, set to become the umbrella program for all existing and upcoming hotels. Furthermore, ROHL is strengthening its presence in major transit hubs with a strategic new asset at Mumbai Airport’s Terminal 2, further cementing its operational footprint in key markets.
