- Profitability was slightly impacted by an incremental liability of ₹4.22 Cr recognized during the year due to new Government of India Labour Codes.
- Significant investments in asset quality continue, with ₹8.01 Cr spent during the year on renovations at Taj Deccan, Taj Chandigarh, and Taj Club House Chennai.

Management Guidance
Management is focusing on maintaining best-in-class customer satisfaction through a policy of regular hotel renovation and refurbishment, with major works currently active in Hyderabad, Chandigarh, and Chennai.
Sentiment Shift
Stable
Core hospitality performance is stable despite flat top-line growth, with profitability primarily influenced by non-recurring regulatory provisions and renovation expenses.
Outlook
The outlook remains positive based on the recovery in Average Daily Rates (ADRs) and a debt-free status, though reclassification of IHCL from 'Promoter' to 'Public' remains a strategic watch-point.
