Mumbai, India, April 2026: Eco Hotels and Resorts Limited reported a sharp rise in revenue for FY2026, with total income increasing to Rs 498.91 lakh from Rs 109.24 lakh in the previous fiscal, driven by portfolio expansion and growth in operational scale across its hotel assets.

FY26 Revenue Growth Driven by Portfolio Expansion

The company’s audited financial results for the year ended March 31, 2026, indicate a significant increase in topline performance as it expanded its hotel portfolio and strengthened its operational footprint.

Expenses Rise Alongside Investment Phase

While revenues increased, the company also reported higher expenses in line with its expansion phase. Total expenses for FY2026 stood at Rs 1,645.76 lakh, reflecting investments in property additions, operational capabilities, and infrastructure required to support a larger portfolio.

The company indicated that the increase in costs is linked to its growth strategy, particularly investments aimed at building scale and supporting long-term operational efficiency.

Standalone Performance Reflects Rapid Scale-Up

Standalone financials also showed a sharp rise in revenue, highlighting the impact of expansion initiatives. For FY2026, standalone total revenue increased to Rs 491.88 lakh, compared to Rs 13.71 lakh in FY2025.

The figures underscore a period of accelerated scaling, as the company increased its operational base and invested in expanding its hospitality footprint.

Asset-Light Strategy and Portfolio Build-Out

Eco Hotels attributed its growth to a combination of higher right-of-use assets and continued investment in hotel properties, as it added to its portfolio during the year. The company reiterated its focus on an asset-light model, aiming to balance expansion with capital efficiency.

In addition to operational growth, the company strengthened its financial position through equity infusion, supporting its expansion strategy and providing capital for future development initiatives.

Management indicated that the company will continue to build a multi-brand portfolio, targeting key markets while maintaining a focus on scalable growth.

Focus on Stabilisation and Operational Efficiency

The company stated that FY2026 represented a pivotal phase marked by expansion and investment, with an emphasis on long-term value creation. As newly added properties mature, Eco Hotels expects improvements in operating leverage and financial alignment.

Management highlighted that future performance will depend on stabilisation of assets and optimisation of costs across the portfolio. The strategy includes enhancing margins through scale while maintaining a disciplined approach to expenses.

Eco Hotels plans to continue expanding its presence in the hospitality sector while focusing on improving efficiency and strengthening its business model. The company’s approach reflects a broader industry trend where operators are prioritising asset-light growth and portfolio diversification to navigate evolving market conditions.
