CORPORATE INFORMATION

 

The Company, is a listed public limited company incorporated in 1902. It is promoted by Tata Sons Limited, which holds a significant stake in the Company. The Company is primarily engaged in the business of owning, operating and managing hotels, palaces and resorts.

 

 

INCOME:

 

The total income for the year ended March 31, 2014 at Rs.197773.300 millions was higher than that of the previous year by 3%. While Room Income was marginally lower (1%) than the previous year, Food and Beverage income increased by 7% over the previous year, aided by growth in banqueting income.

 

 

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

 

The GDP growth in India during the year is estimated to have been around 4.7%. Inflation was at very high levels during the first half of the year, but has gradually come down to 6% by the end of the year. The Indian Rupee’s recent depreciation against the US$ has not been helpful in so far as it unexpectedly enhanced the effective cost of borrowings in $ for Indian corporates. In the Indian market, the impact of the economic slowdown, coupled with the very substantial increase in new hotel capacity across all the key markets, combined to put unprecedented pressure on revenue per available room for the sector. However, the new supply is an investment for the future and a facilitator for the much needed improvement in tourism-related infrastructure across the country. Thus, with the anticipated improvement in the domestic economic environment, the fortunes of the hospitality sector are expected to now improve.

 

The International tourists arrival, worldwide, have grown to 1.1 billion in 2013, 5% above 2012 and are forecast to grow at 4% to 4.5% in 2014.

 

The Foreign Tourist Arrival, in India, during 2013 was 6.85 million, which translates to a 4.1% growth over the previous year. Foreign Exchange Earnings from tourism grew to ` 105,836 crores during 2013 from ` 94,487 crores in 2012, registering a growth of 12%.

 

The Taj Group launched one new Vivanta by Taj hotel during the year at Surajkund, New Delhi and three new Gateway Hotels during the year, at Hubli, Chennai and Kolkata, respectively. The Group currently has a portfolio of 30 Ginger hotels with a room inventory of 2,843 rooms (including 3 hotels under management contract). Projects for 15 new Ginger hotels are at various stages of construction and expected to be operational in the next 18 to 36 months. The inventory of the Taj Group of Hotels now stands at 125 hotels with 15,503 rooms, cutting across all there 4 brands.

 

The Company continues to pursue the completion of on-going projects in a time bound manner, both in the domestic and international market, under various brands to achieve sustainable and profitable growth.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

The Company has been reporting consolidated results taking into account the results of its subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates (together referred to as “the Group”). This discussion, therefore, covers the financial results and other developments during April, 2013 to March, 2014, in respect of the Taj Group. Some statements in this discussion describing the projections, estimates, expectations or outlook may be forward looking. Actual results may, however, differ materially from those stated on account of various factors such as changes in government regulations, tax regimes, economic developments within India and the countries within which the Company conducts its business, exchange rates and interest rates fluctuations, impact of competition, demand and supply constraints.

 

 

OVERVIEW OF THE GLOBAL AND INDIAN TOURISM INDUSTRY

 

The past year was a difficult year for the industry and for theCompany. While there was some improvement in the US and UK where the Company has a presence, the Indian market was adversely impacted by the large additions to inventory, the bulk of which were planned upto 2008, when the performance of the industry peaked. The demand picked up, albeit gradually, with Foreign Tourist Arrivals (FTAs) growing by 4.1% to 6.8 million tourists in 2013 and Foreign Exchange Earnings (FEEs) growing by 2.2% to US$ 18.13 billion. The domestic economy stagnated with businesses waiting for the outcome of the General Elections that were held in May and June 2014, prior to taking any significant investment decisions. The GDP growth in India, during 2013-14, remained at a subdued level of around 4.7%. For the financial year, India witnessed growth in Occupancy by 1.0% to 57%, while ADR decreased by 3.4% to INR 5,648 owing to supply pressures and market conditions resulting in RevPAR decreasing by 2.5% to INR 3,216 across all market classes.

 

The factors that resulted in the poor performance are expected to persist in the first half of the new financial year. The Company is hopeful that with a stable government at the centre, there will be an improvement in the situation in the economy with measures being taken to encourage both domestic foreign investment as well as investments being directed towards infrastructure development. The long term outlook for the Indian hospitality business continues to be positive, both for the business and leisure segments with the potential for economic growth, increases in disposable incomes and the burgeoning middle class. In the meanwhile, the Company is looking at various revenue enhancement and cost containment measures to tide over the tough times so that it can take advantage of the upswing in business as the economy recovers and the demand supply imbalance gets corrected.

 

 

FUTURE PROSPECTS

 

Travel & Tourism’s contribution to the world economy has grown for the fourth consecutive year and is expected to show even stronger growth in 2014. As per Cushman & Wakefield (C&W) reports, hospitality sector of India is expecting to witness better infrastructure growth. Approximately 4,304 new hotel rooms are expected to open in 2014, of which 36% for Mid-scale, 13% in the upscale segment, 17% is expected for Budget segment, 13% in Upper Upscale, and 20% in the Luxury segment. The Taj Group has over 2,000 rooms in development in pipeline over 2014-15 with its distinct brands, of which 404 rooms for Ginger Hotels in Budget segment, 624 rooms for Gateway Hotels in Upscale segment, 400 rooms for Vivanta Hotels in Upper Upscale and 588 rooms for Taj Luxury segment. The Taj Group is well poised to capture the growing demand from Domestic markets with the largest presence in India with over 100 hotels in key corporate and leisure destinations across brands suiting the requirements of such travellers. The Company’s brands – Taj, Vivanta and Gateway - continue to command a premium in the marketplace.
