Grand ConRnent Hotels Limited (GCH), a fast-growing mid-market hotel chain in India, delivered robust financial performance in the fiscal year ending March 2025 (FY25), marking a major milestone following its successful IPO launch in March 2025. The company reported a remarkable 132.29% increase in revenue, strong growth in profitability, and aggressive expansion plans that position it well for the future.

Exceptional Financial Performance in FY25

In FY25, Grand ConRnent Hotels recorded revenue from operations of ₹73.23 crore, up sharply from ₹31.53 crore in the previous year. This outstanding 132.29% year-on-year growth was driven primarily by an increase in inventory from 531 keys to 956 keys, representing nearly doubling of available rooms. The company also strategically diversified its portfolio by entering the Leisure Segment and expanding its footprint into new regional markets including Hyderabad and Chennai.

Correspondingly, the company’s EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization) surged 94.69% to ₹19.80 crore, while EBITDA margins remained strong at approximately 27% for FY25. This reflects efficient cost management and operational leverage despite rapid growth.

Profit After Tax (PAT) saw an even more impressive jump of 160.78% to ₹10.64 crore, compared to ₹4.08 crore in FY24. The PAT margin improved to 14.53% from 12.94%, demonstrating healthy profitability.

Strong Half-Year Growth Reflects Momentum

During the second half of FY25 (H2FY25), the company’s momentum accelerated further:

• Revenue rose 164.33% year-on-year to ₹41.37 crore

• EBITDA increased by 109.48% to ₹9.10 crore

• PAT jumped 165.66% to ₹4.41 crore

These figures highlight GCH’s ability to scale operations rapidly and capitalize on favorable market conditions.

Expansion and New Property Launches in FY26

Grand ConRnent Hotels continues to pursue an aggressive growth strategy with multiple new properties and partnerships planned for FY26:

• Launched 21st property, Grand ConRnent Banjara Hills, Hyderabad on 24th May 2025, an upscale location strengthening regional presence.
