The full read
Royal Orchid Hotels missed its FY26 revenue target, reporting ₹384 crore against a previous projection of ₹420 crore. The company responded by withdrawing its medium-term guidance of ₹500 crore for FY27-28, pointing to geopolitical instability and rising costs. Compounding the disappointment, the flagship Iconica Mumbai property recorded a ₹5.5 crore write-off after auditors disallowed the capitalization of pre-operating expenses. This move delays the hotel's path to profitability. While management continues to tout a long-term vision of 345 hotels and 22,000 keys by 2030, the lack of specific near-term forecasts suggests a period of uncertainty. The company is effectively hitting the reset button on its financial outlook.
