How Did Ventive Hospitality Perform in Q4 and FY25?
Pune-based Ventive Hospitality Ltd reported its audited consolidated results for the fourth quarter and full year ended March 31, 2025, showcasing significant gains in revenue, profitability, and operational metrics across its luxury and upper upscale hotel portfolio. For Q4 FY25, the company recorded consolidated revenue of ₹717.2 crore, representing a 20% year-on-year increase, while EBITDA rose 23% year-on-year to ₹370.9 crore, translating to a margin of 52%. Net profit for the quarter stood at ₹151 crore.
The company’s hospitality segment alone contributed ₹584 crore to Q4 revenue, reflecting a 26% jump compared to the same quarter last year. Segment EBITDA came in at ₹270 crore, with a strong margin of 46%, reinforcing the company’s focus on operational efficiency and premium positioning.
On a full-year basis, Ventive reported consolidated revenue of ₹2,160 crore for FY25, up 13% over the previous fiscal year. EBITDA climbed 16% to ₹1,012 crore, with an overall EBITDA margin of 47%. The core hospitality segment, which includes 11 operating properties in India and the Maldives, delivered revenue of ₹1,604 crore for FY25, marking a 17% year-on-year growth. Segment EBITDA surged 34% to ₹553 crore, representing a margin of 34.5%.
What Drove Growth in Revenue and Margin Expansion?
Ventive’s strong FY25 performance was underpinned by a sharp improvement in key operating parameters such as occupancy, average daily rate (ADR), and total revenue per available room (TRevPAR). The company achieved a consolidated occupancy of 64% across its portfolio, a meaningful rise attributed to robust demand in the domestic travel, weddings, and MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) segments.
In Q4 FY25 alone, domestic ADR rose 16% year-on-year, contributing to a blended ADR improvement of 5%. Consolidated revenue per available room (RevPAR) increased 11% to ₹19,249, driven by Indian operations where RevPAR surged 24% to ₹8,940. Total revenue per available room (TRevPAR), which includes income from food and beverage (F&B), banquets, and other ancillary services, stood at ₹31,837, growing 16% year-on-year. Notably, TRevPAR for Indian properties grew 25% to ₹16,531 during Q4, indicating a diversified revenue mix with non-room services contributing nearly half the topline.
For the full fiscal year, ADR rose 4% to ₹20,769 on a consolidated basis, while Indian ADR advanced 10% to ₹11,076. RevPAR for the year stood at ₹13,293, up 12%, while TRevPAR reached ₹22,981, showing a 14% year-on-year increase. Indian hotels specifically delivered a 15% growth in TRevPAR to ₹13,347.
What Is Ventive’s Strategic Positioning in the Hospitality Sector?
Ventive Hospitality operates 11 luxury and upper upscale hotels across business and leisure locations in India and the Maldives, totaling 2,036 keys. These properties are managed by globally recognised hospitality brands such as Marriott, Hilton, Minor, and Atmosphere. The company complements its hotel portfolio with annuity-generating commercial real estate assets, totaling 3.4 million square feet, which support its balance sheet stability.
The company’s strategy remains focused on high-end hospitality, enabling it to maintain pricing power and resilient margins amid macroeconomic fluctuations. The Q4 and FY25 results reinforce Ventive’s positioning among India’s most profitable listed hospitality firms, an outcome attributed to its ability to sustain premium ADRs and generate high TRevPAR from ancillary services.
How Did the Market React to Ventive’s FY25 Results?
Investor sentiment surrounding Ventive Hospitality Ltd remains positive following its robust FY25 results. The company, which listed on the BSE and NSE after a successful IPO in December 2024, has quickly climbed the profitability ranks among hospitality peers. Institutional interest has grown since listing, especially after the Q4 numbers demonstrated consistent revenue growth, disciplined cost control, and industry-leading margins.
As of the latest trading sessions following the results announcement, Ventive Hospitality shares have seen modest upward movement. Although trading volumes remain moderate, analysts indicate that continued delivery on growth and margin guidance could catalyse stronger institutional inflows. The stock is likely to be under closer watch by domestic mutual funds and foreign institutional investors seeking stable hospitality assets with high EBITDA visibility.
What Is Ventive’s Growth Outlook for FY26 and Beyond?
Looking forward, Ventive is pursuing aggressive expansion with plans to double its room inventory over the next five years. The expansion blueprint includes a mix of greenfield and brownfield developments, along with potential acquisitions. Given the under-penetration in the Indian luxury hospitality market and constrained supply in top-tier city locations, management expects demand-supply imbalances to persist in its favour.
CEO Ranjit Batra attributed the FY25 performance to sustained demand and focused execution. He noted that crossing ₹2,000 crore in revenue and ₹1,000 crore in EBITDA places Ventive among the top-tier players in India’s listed hospitality landscape. Batra reiterated the firm’s confidence in navigating macroeconomic uncertainties due to its luxury positioning, structural industry tailwinds, and diversification into high-margin ancillary services.
The company believes that rising domestic leisure travel, increased MICE activity, and higher inbound tourism will support continued RevPAR and occupancy gains in FY26. Furthermore, with urbanisation and income growth accelerating in Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities, the luxury and upper upscale segments are expected to see higher absorption rates.
Are There Risks to Ventive’s Growth Strategy?
While Ventive is strategically well-placed, the hospitality industry remains sensitive to external shocks. The company’s forward-looking commentary acknowledges the risks posed by macroeconomic volatility, geopolitical instability, interest rate movements, and regulatory headwinds. Additionally, factors like staff attrition, energy costs, and cyclical demand changes in the leisure and MICE segments could affect future margins.
Nonetheless, the management remains optimistic about navigating these risks through diversification, digital guest engagement, dynamic pricing models, and operating efficiencies. The planned expansion of its portfolio across high-demand destinations is expected to be underpinned by disciplined capital allocation and continued focus on EBITDA accretion.
