LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

FIXED ASSETS:

 

Land, building, plant & machinery, furniture & fixture and vehicles, Speed Boat, Aircraft, etc.

 

INDUSTRIES:

 

Indian Hotels Company Ltd (IHCL) operating under the Taj brand, is the largest hotel chain in the country. EIH operating under the Oberoi brand is the second largest hotel chain followed by ITC Hotels (ITCH). Asian Hotels (AHL), Bharat Hotels (BHL), Oriental Hotels as well as Hotel Leela Venture (HLV) are other major hotels.

 

While the 5-star and 5-star deluxe and to some extent the 4-star hotels are the domain of renowned hotel companies, an unorganized market exists for hotels operating below these ratings. Hotel companies such as EIH and ITCH as well as international hotel chains are aggressively entering into the mid-budget hotel segment.

 

Average room rate (ARR) and occupancy are the two most critical factors that determine the profitability, since most of the marginal revenue gets added to the bottom-line. ARR in turn depends upon location, brand image, star rating, quality of facilities and services offered and the seasonal factor.

 

Land comprises 45-50% of the total project cost and is therefore the single largest cost item in the construction of a hotel in India. It is estimated that the construction cost for a 300 rooms hotel in Delhi works out to Rs20mn/room. Since fixed costs constitute 60-65% of the total operating cost, break even levels are very high.

 

Demand for hotels in cities like Mumbai and Delhi are the highest. In fact at present, out of the total of 19,000 5-star and 5-star deluxe rooms in the country, 50% are accounted for by these two cites. These cities along with Bangalore and Chennai serve as gateway to important tourist destinations.

 

Presently, the total 5 & 4-star room capacity in the four metro cities is close to 13,000rooms. Mumbai and Delhi account for the bulk of the total room availability. In Mumbai room availability is expected to increase by another 3,100 rooms in the next 2-3 years.

 

Chain hotels like IHCL, EIH and ITCH are better placed than single locations hotels like BHL, AHL. Though the latter have hotels at strategic location (Delhi) the risk associated with single location hotel is always higher.

 

In the short term the outlook for the industry appears bleak due to a significant oversupply and weak socio-economic conditions. In the long-term the hotel industry in India has latent potential for growth. This is because India is an ideal destination for tourists as its is the only country with the most diverse topography. At present India attracts approximately 2.5mn tourists every year which is just 0.4% of the world tourist arrivals. Countries such as Thailand and Malaysia attract thrice as many tourists.

 

The hotel industry is at present going through one the toughest periods. Weak economic conditions have lead to a steep decline in foreign as well as Indian business arrivals. Tourist arrivals have also seen a marginal decline due to devaluation of the Asian currencies, which have made these countries cheaper than India.

 

Substantial additions to room supply especially in metros like Mumbai will further put pressure on room rentals. The next 2-3 years is not expected to provide any succor to hotel industry due to the overall recession in India and Asia.

 

This has resulted in most of the five star hotels operate at very low occupancy rates. They have been forced to offer discounts on the rack rates. Average room rentals have therefore taken a beating. During April-December 1998 revenue per room declined by 17.2% in Delhi, 9.7% in Mumbai and 0.3% in Chennai.

 

As there was hereto not much competition, the big five hotel majors were able to unabatedly increase their room tariffs. However, with the major international hotel chains having evinced interest in setting up hotels, there is bound to be a price war. India will become a normal market like the South East Asia with demand and the quality of services offered determining the room rentals

 

Another trend, which has been witnessed during the economic slowdown, has been the increasing demand for medium budget hotels due to the exorbitant rates charged by 5-star hotels. Quality budget hotels are expected to be the future of India's hotel industry. Companies in future would like to house their middle level managers in these budget hotels having reasonably good facilities rather than the expensive 5-star deluxe hotels.

 

In this regard the Taj group and the Oberoi (through the Trident brand) have made a strong foray into smaller cities having a strong industrial base. Earnings from these hotels are likely to be more stable than the earnings of 5-star hotels.

 

In the long-term the hotel industry in India has latent potential for growth. This is because India is an ideal destination for tourists as its is the only country with the most diverse topography. At present India attracts approximately 2.5mn tourists every year which is just 0.4% of the world tourist arrivals. Countries such as Thailand and Malaysia, attract thrice as many tourists.

 

Globally, leisure and entertainment are seen to be growing industries. Hence stable socio-political and economic conditions coupled with an improvement in infrastructure facilities (roads, airports etc) will improvement the sentiments of the tourists towards India.

 

If the above conditions are met tourist arrivals can increase five-fold from the present levels. In such a situation there will be a surge in demand for rooms in gateway cities like Mumbai and Delhi as well as in certain tourist destinations.

 

Delisting Of Equity Shares From The Stock Exchanges:

 

The promoters of the company propose to acquire further shares by making an open offer pursuant to SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 1997 and had advised the Board of Directors to de list the equity shares listed on the Stock Exchanges as their holding exceeds 90% of the total share capital carrying voting rights. Furthermore as per SEBI guidelines and listing requirements of the Stock Exchanges if the public holding in a listed company falls below 10%, the company’s shares cannot continue to be listed on the Stock Exchanges. They further advised that the listing of the Equity Shares of the company at the Stock Exchanges will not result into any benefits/advantages to the shareholders as the hospitality industry was passing through downward trend for the past few years. Profitability of the company had substantially declined resulting in lower yields per share. Considering the above and also the business scenario the profitability was expected to remain subdued for the next few years. The promoters of the company had considered it appropriate that the minority shareholders should get an opportunity to avail of the exit option and then to delist the shares from the Stock Exchanges where these are listed.

 

OPERATIONS : 
 
 Bharat Hotels Limited, promoters of The Grand Group has SEVEN operational luxury hotels in the country, offering more than 1600 rooms in the 5-star deluxe segment. These include Inter Continental The Grand hotels in New Delhi, Srinagar, Mumbai & Goa and `The Grand' hotels in Bangalore, Udaipur & Khajuraho. 
 
 During the year 2004-05, the Group consolidated its position and ensured enhanced market share for all its hotels - specially the newly commissioned properties in Mumabi & Goa. Further renovations have almost been completed in Bangalore and Udaipur. Plans for the coming year include a dramatic make over of the Group's flagship hotel in New Delhi. The unit in Khajuraho will also be completely renovated to present it as a classic boutique hotel -shortly. 
 
They will be delighted to know that their new properties in Mumbai & Goa, have been very well received by customers. Intercontinental The Grand Mumbai, a 369-room super luxury hotel located near Sahar International Airport and the new commercial developments of North Mumbai, boasts of a soaring 8-storey high atrium lobby-the largest in Asia. The hotel's accommodation options are luxurious as well as fitted with the most modern facilities and services.

Straddled between two rivers and lapped by the Arabian sea, the resort is one of the finest in Goa. An international standard golf course spread out on 40 acres, where one can play the entire 18-holes; fresh and seawater sports facilities, a state-of-the-art fitness spa with special services for slimming and body rejuvenation make the resort unique in the guest facilities that it offers. Besides, the resort has a free form swimming pool, an extensive banquet & meeting rooms, kids corner, 6 food & beverage outlets, a sports center with squash and tennis courts. Beside a modern gaming club, is to be commissioned shortly. 
 
 In the company's acquired properties from ITDC, namely The Grand hotels in Bangalore, Udaipur and Khajuraho - a new management ethos has been infused and widely acknowledged by both our guests and employees, as highly successful. The extensive product renovation/refurbishment programmed for these properties is also well underway. 
 
 At The Grand Ashok Bangalore, the first phase of the renovation programmed is complete. Under this, 90 guestrooms have been totally renovated along with the hotel lobby, a new state-of-the-art business center, the rooftop Chinese restaurant, the 24-hour restaurant, specialty Indian restaurant. By the season of 2005 all areas will be completed. These include, balance suites and rooms, an exciting new bar, a modern and well-equipped health spa, landscaping the gardens and additions to the banquet facilities. 
 
 At The Grand Laxmi Vilas Palace Udaipur-which already has a wonderful heritage setting-the refurbishment is complete. The lobby and the fagade of the one-time majestic palace, built in 1911 by Maharana Bhupal Singh, have been given a makeover. The end-result is at once stunning and grand.  
 
 Indeed, the interest in the newly refurbished hotel has come from the leisure market. All the rooms - the 41 deluxe palace rooms and the 14 luxurious suites have been refurbished and brand new conference facilities and an international standard spa has been added. They are now adding a new wing with additional rooms and suites. This will be completed by the year end. 
 
 EXPANSION PLANS & PROSPECTS : 
 
 The company has already acquired land for a Luxury Resort at Bekal, Kerala and also negotiating for acquisition of sites for hotels at Jaipur, Amritsar and Ahmedabad. The company also proposes to set up hotels at Chennai and Hyderabad and is accordingly looking for good opportunities to expand its presence in other destinations around the country. 
 
 To meet costs of these projects, the company is in the process of negotiating further issue of capital by way of private placement/preferential issue as well as borrowing at competitive rates. The company will also use internal accruals to meet the costs. 

 

CHANGE IN METHOD OF CHARGING DEPRECIATION: 
 
 The hotel Industry is witnessing rapid changes globally in technology, decor and concepts. This has led to faster redundancy of fixed assets, more specifically plant & machinery, equipment, furniture and fixture. Therefore, it is considered prudent by the company to change the method of depreciation from straight-line method to written down value method for its new hotel units at Mumbai and Goa. Accordingly, the company has charged higher depreciation for the current year by a sum of Rs. 257.2 Millions.
