ITC Hotels hopes to go beyond own target, have 220 hotels by '30
1 2 Kolkata: ITC Hotels chairman Sanjiv Puri said on Monday that the company aimed to have a portfolio of 220 operational hotels with over 20,000 keys by 2030. He was speaking to shareholders at the first AGM after the demerger of ITC Hotels. The company had earlier set a target of 200 properties by 2030. "The company is looking at all opportunities, either through its investments or through management contracts. As far as the roadmap is concerned, what we said when the listing happened was that by 2030, we will have 200 hotels. As we stand today, we believe that this will be easily surpassed and will be 220," he said. Currently, the company has 140 hotels. The hotel business of the diversified conglomerate ITC Ltd was demerged into ITC Hotels Ltd with effect from Jan 1, 2025. The equity shares of the company were listed on the NSE and BSE on Jan 29.

Domestic travel spending reached Rs 15.5 trillion, which is 22% above 2019 levels. "Your company signed 30 management and franchise contracts last year, contributing to a healthy pipeline of 58 hotels with over 5,300 keys and is well on the way to crossing our target of 200 hotels by 2030," Puri said.

Tipsy rural T pips all states in IMFL & beer consumption
Hyderabad: Consumption of Indian-made foreign liquor (IMFL) and beer per person is more in rural Telangana than any other state in the country—excluding the Northeast—outpacing even its own urban population. According to the latest data from the National Institute of Public Finance and Policy, rural Telangana residents spend an average of Rs 3,061 per person on IMFL and beer annually, compared to Rs 2,961 in urban areas. This reversal of the usual pattern—where cities consume more—underscores a distinctive drinking culture in the state's villages. Industry experts say this rural-urban flip is rare. While other southern states show some preference for foreign liquor over traditional brews, Telangana's rural dominance is unmatched. Outside the Northeast, Delhi's rural areas follow with Rs 2,294 per person, trailed by Tamil Nadu (Rs 1,901), Uttarakhand (Rs 1,782), Andhra Pradesh (Rs 1,429), Karnataka (Rs 1,201), and Kerala (Rs 833). You Can Also Check: Hyderabad AQI | Weather in Hyderabad | Bank Holidays in Hyderabad | Public Holidays in Hyderabad A white paper on intoxicant consumption trends shows that in high-spending regions like Delhi and Telangana, consumers opt more for cigarettes, foreign liquor, and beer. In contrast, traditional intoxicants—country liquor, beedis, tobacco, toddy—have a smaller market in South, particularly in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Telangana. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is your dog jumping up on you? Here's what it means Undo Vinod Giri, director general of Breweries Association of India, attributes this pattern to both economic strength and product availability. "The rural economy in most southern states is strong, and there is a weak presence of country liquor. Telangana has shown this trend for the past decade," he said. Market access also plays a role. In rural Telangana, IMFL and beer are supplied through an organised and systematic network, overseen by the state's beverages corporation. Kishan Peddapally, owner of Asav Wines, says this system ensures rural demand is met as efficiently as in urban areas. Market analysts point out that this combination of higher disposable incomes, limited traditional liquor options, and a robust distribution system has cemented IMFL and beer as the preferred choice in rural Telangana. It also signals how rural consumption patterns are shifting in parts of India, where village markets now mirror urban preferences—not just in liquor but in broader lifestyle choices. With data showing the trend has held steady for a decade, rural Telangana's thirst for premium alcoholic beverages appears set to continue.

Excise duty hike hits margins for sellers, liquor supply for consumers
Nagpur: The hike in excise duty on booze has upended the calculations of tipplers as well as bar and wine shop owners. Liquor makers have cut the wholesalers' margin to minimise the price rise, leading to some traders not stocking liquor with small profit margins. This led to a short supply of some popular brands, said sources. The sharp increase in the levy has left the liquor trade jittery, ultimately affecting the supply of a number of brands of affordable Indian-made foreign liquor (IMFL). Distributors and retailers are pointing fingers at each other. The situation is worse in centres like Mumbai and Thane, though Nagpur is also feeling the heat. As the liquor makers have cut the wholesalers' margin in order to adjust the new prices following the duty hike, a number of traders are finding it unviable to sell liquor for small margins, leading to the short supply, said sources. Instead of passing on the entire duty hike to the consumers, the distributors have cut the wholesalers' margin to around 2 to 2.5%, which is half of the earlier level. This was to limit the hike in the maximum retail price (MRP) of some of the entry-level brands. Miffed by this, the wholesalers have cut the credit period allowed to the retailers or permit rooms (bars) to just 15 days. Earlier, two to three months' credit was allowed. The wholesalers say, with shrunk margins, they cannot afford such long credit periods. Now, required to pay early, the retailers and permit rooms have cut their offtake from the distributors, said sources in the wholesale trade. The retailers, on the other hand, say it's the distributors who are not supplying enough bottles after the margins were reduced. This has typically affected seven to ten brands of whiskies and a couple of rum brands, which are now available in the range of Rs270 to 300 per nip (180ml bottle). These are fast-selling brands from which both retailers and wholesalers get a chunk of business. Now, as the margins on these very brands have been cut, the business is no longer as profitable, said a trade source. Had the old margins continued, these bottles would have cost over Rs300 a nip, said sources. Rajeev Jaiswal, president of Nagpur District Permit Room Owners Associations, said, "The supply for popular brands has been low from the distributors. The bars are managing with the existing stock. It's manageable due to the shravan month, when a large number of people abstain from drinking. However, with the Pola festival ahead, liquor demand will go up again. The stocks need to be replenished by that time." "We just got supply after a fortnight's wait," said an attendant at a wine shop, pointing out a whisky brand. "Even other brands are not available as per demand. There is an acute shortage of 750ml bottles of a number of brands. There is no supply of 90ml miniature bottles too. For some brands, quarter bottles are not available," said the shopkeeper, referring to a rum brand. The bar next door also confirmed a shortage of big bottles of the brands. There is no dearth of premium brands. However, the supply of the common man's IMFL has been hampered, said another vendor.
