ITC Hotels Q4 results
ITC Hotels, on May 15, 2025, reported a record 40.8 per cent year-on0year (Y-o-Y) rise in consolidated net profit at ₹257 crore in the fourth quarter of financial year 2025—its first quarter post demerger from consumer goods major ITC Limited. The company had posted a net profit of ₹182.5 crore in the same period last year.
Its revenue from operations rose 17 per cent to ₹1,060.6 crore from ₹907.3 crore a year ago. Profit before interest, depreciation and tax (PBIDT) rose 12.1 per cent year-on-year to ₹365 crore from ₹325.7 crore. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (Ebitda) margins came at 40 per cent, expanding by 350 bps over last year, driven by higher Revenue per available room (RevPARs), growth in F&B revenue, higher management fees, structural cost interventions and operating leverage.
Room revenues continued their strong growth trajectory, driven by broad-based performance across segments such as retail, contracted bookings, weddings and airline crew. "The average daily rate (ADR) at approximately ₹12,500 and occupancy at 73 per cent saw robust year-on-year growth, supported by sustained demand across key markets and smart revenue management," the company stated in a release.
For the quarter, room revenues increased 16 per cent, buoyed by strong ADRs at approximately ₹15,000 (a 14 per cent increase) and high occupancy levels at 79 per cent. RevPAR grew by 17 per cent.
Hotels industry outlook
A favorable demographic profile, steady domestic demand and rising consumption levels augur well for the hospitality industry in India. Aggregate room demand in India is expected to grow ahead of supply. Further, potential for growth in foreign tourist arrivals (which still trail pre-pandemic levels by 12 per cent) and Government's thrust on enhancing infrastructure and connectivity, boosting employment and promoting the tourism sector are expected to fuel growth in the Indian Hospitality industry, ITC Hotels said.
Elara Capital on ITC Hotels
ITC Hotel has upgraded its expansion target to 220 hotels (200 earlier) with 20,000+ keys (18,000 earlier) by FY30, backed by a robust pipeline of 50 hotels (~4,500+ keys), with focus on brownfield opportunities.
ITC Ratnadipa in Colombo turned Ebitda positive in H2, highlighting a strong operational performance. RevPAR has shown robust growth, doubling in Q4 versus Q1. With healthy occupancy and improving margins, ITC Ratnadipa is now a meaningful contributor to both revenue and Ebitda and is expected to remain a key growth driver, going forward.
The brokerage firm expects Ebitda to grow at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of ~13 per cent for the hotel business through FY25-27E, led by scale-up in occupancy and growth in management fees income. ITC Hotel is expected to generate healthy free cashflow every year, which can become a drag on return on capital employed (RoCE), if not employed in productive assets.
"We have increased our topline and Ebitda estimates by 8 per cent and 5 per cent for FY26E and by 10 per cent and 9 per cent for FY27E. So, we raise our SoTP-based target price to ₹ 225 (₹ 203 earlier), valuing the hotels business at 28x (unchanged) FY27E EV/EBITDA and Sapphire Residences at 1x (unchanged) NAV," Elara Capital said in Q4 result update.

Hustle culture or harassment? Techie shares her traumatic experience at dream startup: 'Was gaslighted for 3 years'
A young graduate faced harassment at an Indian SaaS startup. A senior leader assaulted her. HR offered no real help. She faced retaliation for speaking out. The company promoted mental health but silenced her. A co-founder acknowledged the abuse but did nothing. She suffered emotional and professional damage. The startup continues to promote its image. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Starting a career with a startup has become increasingly common among young graduates, promising rapid learning, diverse responsibilities, and the chance to be part of something from the ground up. But beneath this appealing exterior often lies a turbulent and unpredictable reality—one that blurs personal boundaries, disregards employee safety, and prizes image over 2022, a fresh graduate took her first step into the corporate world, joining a high-profile Indian SaaS startup focused on identity verification. Backed by elite investors and founded by business school alumni, the company appeared to embody promise and prestige. However, the glitter faded quickly. Within weeks, she was subjected to disturbing acts of misconduct. A senior leader, much older and in a position of power, made a non-verbal demand for physical contact—an inappropriate and humiliating request. Just days later, at a company event, the same man assaulted her while she was intoxicated, physically picking her up and ignoring her repeated pleas to immediate aftermath was marked by disbelief and betrayal. Her attempt to seek help through the HR department resulted in shallow assurances but no real action. Despite being encouraged to file a formal complaint, fear held her back. New to the workforce and only 21, she didn't feel safe challenging the very people in control of her she confronted the man who harassed her, he downplayed the incident with manipulative justifications and thinly veiled threats, suggesting he'd walked away from similar situations before. As she refused to stay silent, the retaliation began. Excluded from meetings, projects, and informal gatherings, she was systematically isolated and humiliated. The psychological toll deepened with each passing hostile environment wasn't limited to a single incident or individual. Even her female reporting manager crossed boundaries by asking extremely personal and inappropriate questions during the first week. It was clear that workplace harassment had been normalized within the company's culture of manipulation and gaslighting chipped away at her mental and physical health. Frequent illnesses, anxiety, and emotional breakdowns became part of her daily life. Conversations felt like navigating a maze filled with hidden traps. She found herself alone in a place that publicly celebrated trust and the startup continued to build its brand around mental health awareness and inclusivity while silencing voices like hers. Senior leaders mocked women's safety laws behind closed doors. When she raised concerns with one of the co-founders, he offered only passive resignation, acknowledging the abuse while doing nothing to address years later, she still bears the scars—emotional, mental, and professional. Her confidence eroded, her personal life was disrupted, and her career was derailed before it truly began. While the startup continues to promote its polished image and attract investments, she's left grappling with lasting story is a stark reminder that "culture" is not built through slogans, TED Talks, or branding campaigns. It's revealed in how power is wielded when no one is watching—and in whether people feel safe when they speak up.

‘My father had a burning desire…': Mukesh Ambani donates ₹151 crore to his Alma Mater ICT Mumbai
Mukesh Ambani, Chairman and Managing Director, Reliance Industries announced an unconditional grant of ₹ 151 crore to the Institute of Chemical Technology, Mumbai, from where he graduated in the 1970s. Ambani spent over three hours on Friday at the institute (ICT), which back then was called the University Department of Chemical Technology (UDCT). He was there to attend the function to publish Professor MM Sharma's biography titled 'Divine Scientist'. He also reminisced how the first lecture he attended at UDCT by Professor Sharma motivated him and how Prof. Sharma later played a role of quiet architect of India's economic reforms. Prof. Sharma impressed upon the policymakers that the only way for India to grow was to unshackle Indian industry from license-permit-raj which will allow Indian players to build scale, reduce dependence on imports and compete globally. "Like my father Dhirubhai Ambani, he had a burning desire to change Indian industry from scarcity to global leadership," said Ambani. He further added, "These two bold visionaries believed that science and technology, in alliance with private entrepreneurship, would open the floodgates of prosperity." Crediting the rise of Indian chemical industry to Prof Sharma's efforts, Ambani in his speech also referred him as 'a Rashtra Guru - a Guru of Bharat'. When speaking of 'Guru Dakshina', Ambani announced the unconditional grant of ₹ 151 crore to ICT according to the instructions of Prof. Sharma. "When he tells us something, we just listen. We don't think. He told me 'Mukesh you have to do something big for ICT, and I am very pleased to announce that for Prof Sharma," Ambani said while referring to the grant.

Markets rally on RBI's surprise 50 bps rate cut
Mumbai: Benchmark equity indices surged on Friday, with the Sensex climbing 746.95 points and Nifty reclaiming the 25,000-level after the RBI cut interest rates by more-than-expected 50 basis points -- a third consecutive reduction -- and reduced the cash reserve ratio for banks to provide a major liquidity fillip to support the economy amid geopolitical and tariff headwinds. Recovering all the early lost ground, the 30-share BSE Sensex jumped 746.95 points, or 0.92 per cent, to settle at 82,188.99. During the day, it surged 857.85 points, or 1.05 per cent, to 82,299.89. The 50-share NSE Nifty reclaimed the 25,000-level and climbed 252.15 points, or 1.02 per cent, to settle at 25,003.05. Interest-rate-sensitive realty index jumped 4.74 per cent, while auto index went up 1.50 per cent and bankex climbed 1.25 per cent. The Reserve Bank of India's (RBI's) six-member monetary policy committee, headed by Governor Sanjay Malhotra and consisting of three external members, voted five to one to lower the benchmark repurchase or repo rate by 50 basis points to 5.5 per cent. It also cut the cash reserve ratio by 100 basis points to 3 per cent, adding Rs 2.5 lakh crore to already surplus liquidity in the banking system. With the latest reduction, the RBI has cut interest rates by a total of 100 basis points in 2025, starting with a quarter-point reduction in February -- the first cut since May 2020 -- and another similar-sized cut in April. The central bank, at the same time, changed its monetary policy stance to 'neutral' from accommodative, with Malhotra saying further action will depend on incoming data. 'The Indian stock market responded optimistically to the RBI's surprise and aggressive growth push policy. The tremendous rate cut and liquidity boost via the CRR cut is expected to facilitate swift transmission of lower rates, reinforcing the RBI's strong commitment to fostering economic growth, boosting investment, and stimulating consumption. 'Rate-sensitive sectors, including banking, real estate, automobiles, and consumer durables are leading the rally,' Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments Ltd, said. From the Sensex firms, Bajaj Finance surged 4.93 per cent and Axis Bank climbed 3.15 per cent. Maruti, IndusInd Bank, Bajaj Finserv, Eternal, Mahindra & Mahindra, Tata Steel, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Titan, HDFC Bank, and NTPC were among the other major gainers. Bharti Airtel and Sun Pharma were the laggards. 'A third straight cut in repo rates this year with 50 bps cut instead of an estimate of 25 bps is a pleasant move.
