You should carefully consider all of the information in this Prospectus when available, particularly the chapters titled “Our Business”, “Our Industry”, “Restated Standalone Financial Statements” and related notes thereon and “Management’s Discussions and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations” beginning on pages 151, 107, 206 and 208 respectively and the risks and uncertainties described below, before making an investment in the Equity Shares. The risks and uncertainties described in this section are not the only risks that we currently face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. If any or a combination of the following risks, or other risks that are not currently known or are currently deemed immaterial, actually occur, our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition may be adversely affected, the price of the Equity Shares could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
In making an investment decision, as prospective investors, you must rely on your own examination of us and the terms of the Issue, including the merits and the risks involved. You should consult your tax, financial, legal advisors about the particular consequences of investing in the Issue. Unless specified or quantified in the relevant risk factors below, we are unable to quantify the financial or other impact of any of the risks described in this

Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including the considerations described in this section and elsewhere in this Prospectus.
The financial and other related implications of risks concerned, wherever quantifiable, have been disclosed in the risk factors below. However, there are risk factors the potential effects of which are not quantifiable and therefore no quantification has been provided with respect to such risk factors. In making an investment decision, prospective investors must rely on their own examination of our Company and the terms of the Issue, including the merits and the risks involved. You should not invest in this Issue unless you are prepared to accept the risk of losing all or part of your investment, and you should consult your tax, financial and legal advisors about the particular consequences to you of an investment in our Equity Shares.

considered for determining the materiality of Risk Factors: • Some events may not be material individually but may be found material collectively; • Some events may have material impact qualitatively instead of quantitatively; and.
Some events may not be material at present but may have a material impact in future. The financial and other related implications of risks concerned, whether quantifiable have been disclosed in the risk factors mentioned below. However, there are risk factors where the impact may not be quantifiable and hence, the same has not been disclosed in such risk factors.

In this Prospectus, any discrepancies in any table between total and sums of the amount listed are due to rounding off.
28 | Pa geINTERNAL RISK FACTORS
1. An outbreak of pandemic like COVID-19 pandemic disease may have a material adverse effect on the travel industry and may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
The COVID-19 pandemic had severely restricted the level of economic activity around the world and had an unprecedented effect on the global travel industry. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the governments of many countries, states, cities and other geographic regions had implemented containment measures, such as imposing lockdowns and restrictions on travel and business operations and advising or requiring individuals to limit or forgo their time outside of their homes. Individuals’ ability to travel has been curtailed through border closures across the world, mandated travel restrictions and limited operations of hotels and airlines and may be further limited through additional voluntary or mandated closures of travel-related businesses. Any outbreak of such pandemic may again result in restrictions globally for travel, which will reduce economic activity. Such measures implemented to contain any pandemic are expected to have, a significant negative effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and liquidity position.
Our business and the travel industry in general are particularly sensitive to reductions in personal and business- related discretionary travel and spending levels. The COVID-19 pandemic could continue to impede global economic activity, even as restrictions are lifted, leading to decreased per capita income and disposable income, increased and prolonged unemployment or a decline in consumer confidence, all of which could significantly reduce discretionary travel and spending by individuals and businesses. In turn, that could have a negative impact on demand for our services and could lead us, our suppliers or our competitors to reduce prices or offer incentives to attract travellers, despite already operating in a highly competitive industry. Such circumstances or developments could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
2. Our Registered Office, Corporate Office and Branch Offices are located on premises which are not owned by us and has been obtained on rent basis. Disruption of our rights as licensee/ lessee or termination of the agreements with our licensors/ lessors would adversely impact our operations and, consequently, our business, financial condition and results of operations.
As on the date of this Prospectus, our Registered Office, Corporate Office and Branch Offices are located on properties taken on rent basis. There can be no assurance that our Company will be able to successfully renew the said lease agreements in a timely manner or at all or on terms favourable to us. Further, there can be no assurance that we will not face any disruption of our rights as a lessee and that such lease agreements will not be terminated prematurely by the lessor. Any such non-renewal or early termination or any disruption of our rights as lessee will adversely affect our business, financial conditions and results of operations. For further details, please refer to the heading titled “Our Properties” under the chapter titled “Our Business” beginning on page 166.
3. We derive a significant portion of our revenue from our top customer, top 5 customer & top 10 customers. The loss of one or more such customers, the deterioration of their financial condition or prospects, or a reduction in their demand for our products could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
We depend on a limited number of customers, which exposes us to a risk of customer concentration. The table below sets out our revenue from our top customer, top 05 customers and top 10 customers, on the basis of revenue contribution, including as a percentage of Sale of Services for the financial years indicated.
(Rs. in Lakhs) For the Period / Financial Years ended Particulars September 30, 2025 March 31, 2025 March 31, 2024 March 31, 2023 Amount %* Amount %* Amount %* Amount %* Top Customer 133.85 10.59% 446.60 15.92 324.85 12.53 95.33 5.65 Top 05 Customers 322.37 25.51 1,076.91 38.39 913.03 35.22 327.48 19.41 Top 10 Customers 406.17 32.12 1,174.78 41.88 1,120.15 43.21 426.88 25.29 29 | Page*% of Sale of Services.
We expect that we will continue to be reliant on our key customers for the foreseeable future. The loss of any of our key customers for any reason (including delay in fulfilling existing orders; adverse changes in the financial condition of our customers, such as possible bankruptcy or liquidation or other financial hardship) could adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
Our sales from period to period may fluctuate significantly as a result of changes in our customers’ vendor preferences or the discontinuation of, or a lack of commercial success of any services of our Company.
Accordingly, if we fail to retain these customers on terms that are commercially reasonable or if there is any significant reduction in the volume of business with such customers, it could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
4. We are dependent on our airline ticketing business, which generates a significant percentage of our revenues.
A significant portion of our Revenues are made for air tickets.

We expect that we will continue to be reliant on our ticketing business for the foreseeable future. The loss of any of our key customers for any reason (including delay in fulfilling existing orders; adverse changes in the financial condition of our customers, such as possible bankruptcy or liquidation or other financial hardship) could adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
5. We rely on third party service providers for a significant portion of our operational services, and our business may be adversely affected if they fail to meet our requirements or face operational disruptions.
Our operations rely significantly on third-party service providers, including hotels, travel agents, travel guides, backend software and IT service providers, and payment gateways. Any failure on their part to perform in accordance with our requirements, or disruptions arising from system downtime, cyber-attacks, fraud, operational errors, or non-compliance with applicable laws, may adversely affect customer experience and our brand reputation. In such cases, we may also be exposed to financial or legal liabilities.
We also do not have formal contracts with service providers. If such providers terminate their arrangements without sufficient notice, or if we are unable to secure suitable alternatives on commercially favourable terms, our operations could be disrupted. Further, errors or technical glitches in third-party systems (such as inaccurate hotel availability or ticket pricing) could result in monetary losses and reputational harm. Any prolonged disruption in services from our third-party providers could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Our Company has not experienced any such instances in the past relating to system downtime, cyber-attacks, fraud, operational errors, non-compliance with applicable laws, or technical glitches in third-party systems resulting in monetary loss or reputational harm.

We have since taken steps such as channelling more resources towards improving our administrative systems and training our staff to rectify such 34 | Pa gedelays. However, there can be no assurance that such delays may not arise in the future. This may lead to financial penalties from respective government authorities. While we have been required to make payment of fines/ penalties for delays in payment of such statutory dues, wherever applicable, these have not been material in nature.
However, we cannot assure you that we will not be subject to such penalties and fines in the future which may have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and cash flows.
9. We generally conduct business without long-term contracts with our customers or travel agents, which exposes us to risks of non-continuity.
Our business model is primarily based on providing packaged travel services for leisure and holidays to end customers on a per-package basis. We do not enter into long-term contracts or formal marketing tie-ups with our customers and travel agents. As such, repeat business is highly dependent on customer satisfaction and preferences.
These arrangements are not exclusive and are conducted largely on the basis of good faith without definitive agreements. Consequently, such agents may terminate or modify their arrangements with us at short notice or without notice. There is also no assurance that they will continue to be associated with us in the future on terms favourable to us, or at all.
Further, in the absence of binding arrangements, we cannot prevent such travel agents from simultaneously working with competitors or from prioritizing their interests elsewhere. Any such developments may adversely affect our business continuity, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
10. Any deficiency in our services could make our Company liable for customer claims, which in turn could affect our Company's results of operations.
Our Company is bound by the terms and conditions as placed before its customers. There are no specific regulations governing the supply of the same, other than the general law of contracts. Any claims made by these customers for deficiency in our services would be subject to these terms and conditions, which are in the nature of normal contractual obligations in India. Any violation of these obligations could impact our Company’s results of operations. However, as on the date of this Prospectus, our Company didn’t face any claim from its customer for deficiency of service. For further details of our business, please refer to the chapter titled “Our Business” beginning on page 151.
11. Our industry is intensely competitive, and increasing competition may adversely affect our business and results of operations.
We operate in both the domestic and international travel markets, which are highly competitive and evolving. Our ability to sustain and grow depends on how effectively we compete with a wide range of players, including online travel agencies, traditional travel companies, search engines, meta-search platforms, and other emerging distribution channels.
Competition is influenced by several factors such as pricing, availability and variety of services, brand recognition, customer service, ease of use of platforms, customer loyalty, technological capabilities, and reliability of offerings.
Many of our competitors have longer operating histories, stronger brand recall, greater financial and marketing resources, and more established customer bases. Some may be able to offer additional services or lower prices, which could place us at a disadvantage. Further, global online travel agencies and new entrants with innovative products may reshape the competitive landscape.
Suppliers such as airlines, hotels, and car rental companies are also increasingly promoting direct bookings through their own channels, often incentivising customers with member-only fares, bonus miles, or loyalty benefits, thereby reducing reliance on intermediaries like us. Additionally, the growing use of search engines and meta-search platforms for travel planning may divert customer traffic to competitors or directly to suppliers.
35 | PageIf we are unable to adapt to these competitive pressures, upgrade our technology, expand service offerings, or deliver differentiated customer experiences, we risk losing existing customers and failing to attract new ones.
Intense competition may also lead to lower margins, reduced market share, loss of brand recognition, and could materially and adversely affect our revenue, financial condition, and results of operations.
12. We may not be able to adequately control and ensure the quality of travel products and services sourced from our suppliers.
Our business depends on delivering a satisfactory travel experience to customers, which in turn relies heavily on the performance of our suppliers, including airlines, hotels, car rental companies, tour operators, and other service providers. If these suppliers fail to maintain expected quality standards, face operational disruptions, or do not deliver services as agreed, our customers may hold us responsible and seek damages or discontinue using our services.
While we provide customer assistance through representatives, calls and website, the overall perception of our service is closely linked to the reliability of our suppliers. As our scale of operations grows, our reliance on a wider network of suppliers will also increase. Any inability to effectively monitor and ensure their service quality could result in customer dissatisfaction, negative publicity, and damage to our brand.
Our brand reputation and customer loyalty also depend on addressing customer concerns promptly, managing supplier relationships effectively, and consistently meeting evolving customer expectations. Failure to maintain service quality or safeguard our brand image could materially impact our revenues, customer base, and financial performance.
Further, in case of any dispute between the customer and airlines, hotels, car rental companies, or other suppliers, the primary responsibility rests with the concerned service provider, as our Company operates as a service intermediary.
However, our Company actively coordinates with the supplier to ensure that suitable solutions are provided to the customer in a timely manner. For example: • Flight delays/cancellations – solutions are provided by the airline, such as rescheduling on the next available flight or alternate arrangements as per customer comfort.
• Hotel-related issues – resolution is provided by the hotel, which may include changing the room or offering an upgrade. • Cab breakdowns – the transport supplier provides a replacement cab, and where required, the Company arranges an alternate vehicle from other suppliers to avoid customer inconvenience.
Thus, while the supplier is directly responsible, our Company ensures smooth coordination to safeguard customer interest and enhance customer experience.
13. We may be exposed to risks relating to processing, storage, use and disclosure of customer data, and any security breach or misuse could adversely affect our business.
In the ordinary course of business, we receive, process, and store sensitive personal and transactional information of our customers, travel agents, suppliers, and employees. Such data is vulnerable to risks including unauthorized access, security breaches, malware, cyber-attacks, and other system failures. Any compromise of this information could result in legal or regulatory action, financial liability, and loss of customer trust.
Additionally, data protection and privacy laws in India and other jurisdictions where we operate are becoming increasingly stringent. Any change in regulations, or failure to comply with evolving data privacy requirements, could expose us to penalties, increase compliance costs, or require changes in our business practices. A serious data breach or failure to safeguard customer information may adversely impact our brand reputation, customer base, and financial performance.
36 | Pa ge14. Any failure to maintain our brand and reputation or protect our intellectual property could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Our brand name, logo, and trademarks are critical to our competitiveness, ability to attract customers, and relationships with travel suppliers. Any damage to our reputation or failure to protect our intellectual property could adversely impact our business. While we rely on registered trademarks and domain names, there can be no assurance that our rights will be adequately protected against infringement, misappropriation, or imitation. In particular, third parties may attempt to misuse or pass off domain names resembling ours, or infringe upon our proprietary content and in-house technology customizations, much of which is not subject to formal intellectual property protection.
If we are unable to enforce or maintain our intellectual property rights, or if our brand recognition is diluted, our competitive position, customer trust, and business prospects could be materially and adversely affected.
For details of our intellectual property rights refer to the heading titled “Intellectual Property Rights” disclosed under the chapter titled “Our Business” beginning on page 168.
15. We are put at risk of claims arising from travel-related accidents during their travels, the occurrence of which may be beyond our control.
Accidents are a leading cause of mortality and morbidity among tourists. We are exposed to risks of our customers’ claims arising from or relating to travel-related accidents. As we enter into transactions with our customers directly, our customers may take actions against us for the damages they suffer during their travels. However, such accidents may result from the negligence or misconduct of our travel suppliers or other service providers, over which we have no or limited control. We may not be able to adequately control and ensure the quality of travel products and services sourced from our travel suppliers. If there is any deterioration in the quality of their performance, our customers may seek damages from us and stop our services.
However, we have not experienced any instances related to claims in past 3 years, we cannot assure that we will not face in claims in future. Any significant claims could adversely affect our business continuity, financial condition and future growth trajectory.
16. Any disruption in the supply or increase in the cost of travel products and services could adversely affect our operations and profitability.
Our business depends on the availability of air tickets, hotel accommodations, and related travel services. Any shortage in supply, reduction in demand, or sudden increase in their prices could adversely impact our operations, turnover, and profitability. For example, airline industry disruptions in the past, such as grounding or curtailment of operations, have led to supply shortages and price surges.
The travel industry is also highly sensitive to safety concerns, geopolitical events, and adverse international, national, or regional travel or security conditions, which may reduce demand for travel products. Additionally, fluctuations in airfares, hotel tariffs, and other costs driven by market forces and our limited bargaining power with suppliers may compel us to increase prices. If we are unable to pass on such increases to customers without losing competitiveness, our margins and financial performance may be materially and adversely affected.
17. Our business is subject to economic cycles and seasonality, which could materially affect our operations and financial performance.
Our industry is cyclical and closely linked to overall economic conditions. Adverse changes in global or domestic economic growth, local market conditions, or consumer spending patterns could reduce demand for travel. A slowdown in India or other countries where we operate, or a global or domestic recession, may significantly impact our revenues and profitability.
In addition, our revenues and cash flows are subject to seasonality and are influenced by factors such as school and public holidays, weather conditions, and political or social stability in travel destinations. Any disruption to 37 | Pageour operations or adverse developments during peak travel seasons could lead to a decline in revenues and materially affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
18. Our business is dependent on our Directors, Promoters and Key Managerial Personnel, and the loss of or inability to attract and retain such talent may adversely affect our performance.
We rely on the expertise and industry knowledge of our Directors, Promoters and other Key Managerial Personnel for formulating strategies and managing our operations. Their experience in the travel and tourism industry has been critical in expanding our business, broadening our distribution channels, and diversifying our service offerings.
Our future growth also depends on our ability to attract, train, and retain skilled employees while keeping them motivated. The loss of key individuals, inability to recruit equally skilled personnel, or failure to adapt to changes in business strategy could disrupt our operations and have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition.
For details of education and experience of our Directors, Promoters and Key Managerial Personnel, please refer to the chapter titled “Our Management” beginning on page 182.
19. The average cost of acquisition of Equity Shares by our Promoters is lower than the floor price.

38 | Pa ge21. Our insurance coverage may not be adequate to protect us against all potential losses to which we may be subject, and this may have a material effect on our business and financial condition.
Our Company has taken insurance policy covering risks related to office infrastructure, fire and allied perils, there can be no assurance that our current insurance policies will insure us fully against all risks and losses that may arise in the future. Further, our business involves risks which may adversely affect our profitability, including failure of systems and employee frauds. We cannot assure you that the operation of our business will not be affected by any of the incidents listed above or by other factors. In addition, in the future, we may not be able to maintain insurance of the types or at levels which we deem necessary or adequate or at rates which we consider reasonable. The occurrence of an event for which we are not adequately or sufficiently insured or the successful assertion of one or more large claims against us that exceed available insurance coverage, or changes in our insurance policies (including premium increases or the imposition of large deductible or co-insurance requirements), could have an effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
For the details of insurances taken by our Company in its name, please refer to the heading titled “Insurance” disclosed under chapter titled “Our Business” on page 167.
22. A small portion of our revenue come through export of services.
A small portion of our revenue, accounting for approx. 1%, is derived from international tours and ticketing. Our reliance on international travel makes us vulnerable to risks arising from adverse government policies, visa restrictions, foreign exchange fluctuations, changes in tax regulations, and geopolitical tensions in the countries where we operate or send tourists.
Details of revenue from operations from international markets for the financial years indicated are set out below: (Rs. in Lakhs) For the Period /Financial Year ended on Particular September March 31, March 31, March 31, 30, 2025 2025 2024 2023 Revenue from export of services 4.27 21.39 14.34 3.94 Revenue from operations 1,268.71 2,812.36 2,596.77 1,717.92 As a percentage of revenue from operations
0.34 0.76 0.55 0.23 (in %) Any unfavourable developments, such as travel bans, stricter immigration norms, political instability, or global health emergencies, may result in reduced demand for international travel. This could materially and adversely affect our revenue, profitability, and overall business operations.
23. We face competition in our business from organized and unorganized players, which may adversely affect our business operation and financial condition.
The market in which our company is doing business is highly competitive on account of both the organized and unorganized players. Players in this industry generally compete with each other on key attributes such as technical competence, distribution network, pricing and timely delivery. Some of our competitors may have longer industry experience and greater financial, technical and other resources, which may enable them to react faster in changing market scenario and remain competitive. Moreover, the unorganized sector offers their products at highly competitive prices which may not be matched by us and consequently affect our volume of sales and growth prospects. Growing competition may result in a decline in our market share and may affect our margins which may adversely affect our business operations and our financial condition.
39 | Page24. We require several approvals, NOCs, licenses, registrations and permits in the ordinary course of our business, any failure or delay in obtaining the same in a timely manner may adversely affect our operations.

27. We cannot assure you that the Objects of the Issue will be achieved within the expected time frame, or at all, and any variation in the utilisation of the Net Proceeds would be subject to certain compliance requirements, including prior shareholders’ approval.
Our Company proposes to utilise the Net Proceeds towards the following objects: (Rs. in Lakhs) Sr. No. Particulars Amount A. Working Capital Requirements of the Company 504.00 B. Capital Expenditure towards purchases of software 290.00 C. General Corporate Purpose 160.00 Total 954.00 The Objects of the Issue have not been appraised by any bank or financial institution. The proposed utilisation of the Net Proceeds is based on current business plan, current conditions and other commercial and technical factors including interest rates and other charges, the financing and other agreements entered into by our Company, which is subject to change in light of changes in external circumstances and other factors beyond our control such as general economic conditions, inflation, technological changes, changing customer preferences and competitive landscape, credit availability and interest rate levels. Our management will have broad discretion to revise our business plans, estimates and budgets from time to time. Consequently, our funding requirements and deployment of funds may change, which may result in rescheduling of the proposed utilisation of the Net Proceeds, subject to compliance with applicable law. A portion of the use of the Net Proceeds involving deployment towards general corporate purposes is at the discretion of the management of our Company. For further information please refer to the chapter titled “Objects of the Issue” beginning on page 80.
Any variation in the objects of the Issue shall be made in compliance with Sections 13(8) and 27 of the Companies Act which requires us to obtain a shareholders’ approval, and SEBI ICDR Regulations which requires us to provide an exit opportunity to shareholders who do not agree with our proposal to change the objects of the issue or vary the terms of such contracts, at a price and manner as prescribed by SEBI and in accordance with any other applicable law. In the event of any such circumstances that require us to undertake variation in the disclosed utilisation of the Net Proceeds, we may not be able to obtain the shareholders’ approval in a timely manner, or at all. Any delay or inability in obtaining such shareholders’ approval may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Further, our Promoters would be required to provide an exit opportunity to shareholders who do not agree with our proposal to change the objects of the Issue or vary the terms of such contracts, at a price and manner as prescribed by SEBI. Additionally, the requirement on Promoters to provide an exit opportunity to such dissenting shareholders may deter the Promoters from agreeing to the variation of the proposed utilisation of the Net Proceeds, even if such variation is in the interest of our Company. Further, we cannot assure you that the Promoters or the controlling shareholders of our Company will have adequate resources at their disposal at all times to enable them to provide an exit opportunity at the price prescribed by SEBI.
28. Our Promoters and Promoters Group will continue to exercise control post completion of the Issue and will have considerable influence over the outcome of matters.
Our Promoters and Promoters Group will continue to own a majority of our Equity Shares i.e., approximately
70.00% of the total post-issue paid up capital. As a result, our Promoters will have the ability to exercise significant influence over all matters requiring shareholders’ approval. Our Promoters will also be in a position to influence any shareholder action or approval requiring a majority vote, except where they may be required by applicable law to abstain from voting. This control could also delay, defer or prevent a change in control of our Company, 41 | Pageimpede a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving our Company, or discourage a potential acquirer from obtaining control of our Company even if it is in the best interests of our Company. The interests of our Promoters could conflict with the interests of our other equity shareholders, and the Promoters could make decisions that materially and adversely affect your investment in the Equity Shares. In addition, for so long as the Promoter Group continues to exercise significant control over the Company, they may influence the material policies of the Company in a manner that could conflict with the interests of our other shareholders.

We cannot assure you that our Directors or our Key Management Personnel would always exercise their rights as Shareholders to the benefit and best interest of our Company. As a result, our directors including our promoters will continue to exercise significant control over our Company, including being able to control the composition of our board of directors and determine decisions requiring simple or special majority voting, and our other Shareholders may be unable to affect the outcome of such voting. Our Directors may take or block actions with respect to our business, which may conflict with our best interests or the interests of other minority Shareholders, such as actions with respect to future capital raising or acquisitions.

31. There is no monitoring agency appointed by our Company and the deployment of funds are at the discretion of our Management and our Board of Directors, though it shall be monitored by our Audit Committee.
As per Regulation 262 of the SEBI (ICDR) Regulations, 2018, as amended, appointment of monitoring agency is required only if Issue size exceeds Rs. 5,000.00 Lakhs. Hence, we have not appointed any monitoring agency to monitor the utilization of Issue proceeds. However, as per the Section 177 of the Companies Act, 2013, the Audit Committee of our Company would be monitoring the utilization of the Issue Proceeds.
32. The Equity Shares of our Company may not be listed on the SME Platform of BSE, which may restrict investors from realizing the value of their investment.
Our Company had filed a Draft Red Herring Prospectus (“DRHP”) with the SME Platform of BSE for listing of its Equity Shares on the SME Platform of BSE (“BSE SME”). However, the approval for listing and trading of our Equity Shares is subject to the Company fulfilling the eligibility criteria prescribed by BSE, completion of the public issue process, and obtaining final approval from BSE. There can be no assurance that such approval will be granted or that the Equity Shares will be listed and traded on the BSE SME as proposed. Any delay or failure in obtaining such approval or in completing the listing process could restrict investors from realizing the value of their investment and may adversely affect the liquidity and market price of the Equity Shares.
42 | Pa geEXTERNAL RISK FACTORS
33. In the event there is any delay in the completion of the Issue, there would be a corresponding delay in the completion of the objects of this Issue which would in turn affect our revenues and results of operations.
The funds that we receive would be utilized for the Objects of the Issue as has been stated in the chapter titled “Objects of the Issue” beginning on page 80. The proposed schedule of implementation of the objects of the Issue is based on our management’s estimates. If the schedule of implementation is delayed for any other reason whatsoever, including any delay in the completion of the Issue, we may have to revise our business, development and working capital plans resulting in unprecedented financial mismatch and this may adversely affect our revenues and results of operations.
34. There is no guarantee that our Equity Shares will be listed on the SME Platform of BSE Limited in a timely manner or at all.
In accordance with Indian law and practice, permission for listing and trading of our Equity Shares will not be granted until after certain actions have been completed in relation to this Issue and until Allotment of Equity Shares pursuant to this Issue. In accordance with current regulations and circulars issued of SEBI, our Equity Shares are required to be listed on the SME Platform of BSE Limited within prescribed timelines. However, we cannot assure you that the trading in our Equity Shares will commence in a timely manner or at all. Any failure or delay in obtaining final listing and trading approvals may restrict our ability to dispose of your Equity Shares.
35. Investors may be subject to Indian taxes arising out of capital gains on the sale of the Equity Shares.
Under the current Indian Tax Laws and Regulations, Capital Gains arising on the sale of Equity Shares of an Indian Company are generally taxable in India. Any Capital Gain realized on the sale of listed equity shares on a stock exchange held for more than 12 months shall be subject to capital gains tax in India at 12.50% (on the gains in excess of ₹1.25 lakhs) if Securities Transaction Tax (STT) has been paid on both acquisition and transfer of such shares. STT shall be levied on and collected by a domestic stock exchange on which the equity shares are sold. Any gain realised on the sale of equity shares held for more than 12 months by an Indian resident, which are sold other than on a recognized stock exchange provided no STT has been paid, will be subject to long term capital gain tax in India. However, any capital gain realized on the sale of listed Equity Shares held for a period of 12 months or less shall be subject to short term capital gains tax in India and are taxed at 20%. Provided Further, any gain realised on the sale of listed equity shares held for a period of 12 months or less which are sold on other than on a recognised stock exchange and on which no STT has been paid, shall be subject to short term capital gains tax at a relatively higher rate as compared to the transaction where STT has been paid in India.
Taxation of Capital Gains is subject to the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961, as amended from time to time, and changes introduced through successive Finance Acts. Any amendment in the tax regime, including an increase in capital gains tax rates, whether through the Finance Act or other legislative measures, could adversely impact the post-tax returns of investors in our equity shares. Given the evolving fiscal and economic policies, there is a possibility that future amendments may result in higher tax rates or reduced exemptions, thereby affecting the overall attractiveness of equity investments. Investors should consider potential changes in tax laws while making investment decisions.
36. After this Issue, the price of our Equity Shares may be volatile, or an active trading market for our Equity Shares may not be sustained.
Prior to this Issue, there has been no public market for our Equity Shares, and an active trading market may not develop or be sustained upon the completion of this Issue. The initial public offering price of the Equity Shares offered hereby was determined through our negotiations with the BRLM and may not be indicative of the market price of the Equity Shares after this Issue. The market price of our Equity Shares after this Issue will be subject to significant fluctuations in response to, among other factors:
43 | Page• variations in our operating results and the performance of our business; • regulatory developments in our target markets affecting us, our customers, or our competitors; • changes in financial estimates by securities research analysts;
• addition or loss of executive officers or key employees; • loss of one or more significant customers; • the performance of the Indian and global economy; • significant developments in India’s economic liberalization and deregulation policies, and the fiscal regime;
• volatility in the Indian and global securities markets; • performance of our competitors and perception in the Indian market about investment in our industry; and • adverse media reports, if any, on our Company, or the industry.
Many of these factors are beyond our control. There has been recent volatility in the Indian stock markets, and our share price could fluctuate significantly as a result of such volatility in the future. There can be no assurance that an active trading market for our Equity Shares will develop or be sustained after this Issue, or that the price at which our Equity Shares are initially offered will correspond to the prices at which they will trade in the market subsequent to this Issue.
37. Rights of shareholders under Indian laws may differ to those under the laws of other jurisdictions.
Indian legal principles related to corporate procedures, directors’ fiduciary duties and liabilities, and shareholders’ rights may differ from those that would apply to a company in another jurisdiction. Shareholders’ rights including in relation to class actions, under Indian law may not be similar to the shareholders’ rights under the laws of other countries or jurisdictions.
38. The investors will not be able to sell immediately on an Indian stock exchange any of the Equity Shares they purchase in the Issue.
We have applied to BSE Limited to use its name as the Stock Exchange in this offer document for listing our shares on the SME Platform of BSE Limited. In accordance with Indian law and practice, permission for listing and trading of the Equity Shares issued pursuant to the Issue will not be granted until after the Equity Shares have been issued and allotted. Approval for listing and trading will require all relevant documents authorizing the issuing of Equity Shares to be submitted. There could be a delay in listing the Equity Shares on the SME Platform of BSE Limited. Any delay in obtaining the approval would restrict your ability to dispose of your Equity Shares.
39. There are restrictions on daily movements in the price of the Equity Shares, which may adversely affect a shareholder’s ability to sell, or the price at which it can sell, Equity Shares at a particular point in time.
Once listed, we would be subject to circuit breakers imposed by stock exchange, which does not allow transactions beyond specified increases or decreases in the price of the Equity Shares. This circuit breaker operates independently of the index-based market-wide circuit breakers generally imposed by SEBI on Indian stock exchanges. The percentage limit on circuit breakers is set by the stock exchanges based on the historical volatility in the price and trading volume of the Equity Shares. This circuit breaker limits the upward and downward movements in the price of the Equity Shares. As a result of this circuit breaker, no assurance may be given regarding your ability to sell your Equity Shares or the price at which you may be able to sell your Equity Shares at any particular time.
40. Any future issuance of Equity Shares may dilute the investors’ shareholdings or sales of our Equity Shares by our Promoters or Promoter Group may adversely affect the trading price of our Equity Shares.
Any future equity issuances by us or sales of our Equity Shares by our Promoters or Promoter Group may adversely affect the trading price of our Equity Shares and our Company’s ability to raise capital through an issue of securities. In addition, any perception by potential investors that such issuances or sales might occur could also affect the trading price of our Equity Shares. Additionally, the disposal, pledge or encumbrance of our Equity Shares by any of our Company’s major shareholders, or the perception that such transactions may occur may 44 | Pa geaffect the trading price of our Equity Shares. No assurance may be given that our Company will not issue Equity Shares or that such shareholders will not dispose of, pledge or encumber their Equity Shares in the future.
41. The requirements of being a publicly listed company may strain our resources.
We are not a publicly listed company and have not, historically, been subjected to the compliance requirement or the increased scrutiny of our affairs by shareholders, regulators and the public at large that is associated with being a listed company. As a listed company, we will incur significant legal, accounting, corporate governance and other expenses that we did not incur as an unlisted company. We will be subject to the SEBI Listing Regulations, which will require us to file audited annual and unaudited half yearly reports with respect to our business and financial condition. If we experience any delays, we may fail to satisfy our reporting obligations and/or we may not be able to readily determine and accordingly report any changes in our results of operations as promptly as other listed companies.
Further, as a publicly listed company, we will need to maintain and improve the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, including keeping adequate records of daily transactions. In order to maintain and improve the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, significant resources and management attention will be required. As a result, our management’s attention may be diverted from our business concerns, which may adversely affect our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, we may need to hire additional legal and accounting staff with appropriate experience and technical accounting knowledge, but we cannot assure you that we will be able to do so in a timely and efficient manner.
42. Our Company has not paid any dividends till now and there can be no assurance that we will pay dividends in future.
Our ability to pay dividends in the future will depend upon a variety of factors such as future earnings, financial condition, cash flows, working capital requirements, and restrictive covenants in our financing arrangements. Our Company has not paid any dividends till now and there can be no assurance that we will pay dividends in future.
Our ability to pay dividends in the future will depend on our earnings, financial condition and capital requirements.
Dividends distributed by us will attract dividend distribution tax at rates applicable from time to time. There can be no assurance that we will generate sufficient income to cover our operating expenses and pay dividends to our shareholders, or at all. Our ability to pay dividends could also be restricted under the existing or certain financing arrangements that we may enter into.
43. Our ability to pay dividends in the future will depend upon our future earnings, financial condition, cash flows, working capital requirements, capital expenditure and restrictive covenants in our financing arrangements.
We may retain all our future earnings, if any, for use in the operations and expansion of our business. As a result, we may not declare dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination as to the declaration and payment of dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on factors that our Board of Directors deem relevant, including among others, our results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, business prospects and any other financing arrangements. Accordingly, realization of a gain on shareholders investments may largely depend upon the appreciation of the price of our Equity Shares. There can be no assurance that our Equity Shares will appreciate in value. For further details, please refer to the chapter titled “Dividend Policy” beginning on page 205.
44. Any downgrading of India’s debt rating by an international rating agency could have a negative impact on our business.
Any adverse revisions to India’s credit ratings for domestic and international debt by international rating agencies may adversely impact our ability to raise additional financing, and the interest rates and other commercial terms at which such additional financing may be available. This could have an adverse effect on our business and future financial performance, our ability to obtain financing for capital expenditures and the price of our Equity Shares.
45 | Page45. Instability in the Indian financial markets could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
The Indian financial market and the Indian economy are influenced by economic and market conditions in other countries, particularly in Asian emerging market countries. Financial turmoil in Asia, Europe and elsewhere in the world in recent years and more recently in the United States has affected the Indian economy. Although economic conditions are different in each country, investors reactions to developments in one country can have adverse effects on the securities of companies in other countries, including India. A loss in investor confidence in the financial systems of other emerging markets may cause increased volatility in Indian financial markets and, indirectly, in the Indian economy in general. Any worldwide financial instability could also have a negative impact on the Indian economy. Financial disruptions may occur again and could harm our results of operations and financial condition.
46. Political instability or changes in the Government could adversely affect economic conditions in India and consequently our business.
Our performance and the market price and liquidity of the Equity Shares may be affected by changes in exchange rates and controls, interest rates, government policies, taxation, social and ethnic instability and other political and economic developments affecting India. The GoI has traditionally exercised and continues to exercise a significant influence over many aspects of the economy. The business of our Company, and the market price and liquidity of the Equity Shares may be affected by changes in GoI policy, taxation, social and civil unrest and other political, economic or other developments in or affecting India. There has been a secular reduction in import duties on paper and packaging products over the years. The governments have usually been multi-party coalitions with differing agendas. Any political instability could affect the rate of economic liberalisation and the specific laws and policies affecting foreign investment. Other matters affecting investment in the Equity Shares could change as well. A significant change in India’s economic liberalisation and deregulation policies could adversely affect business and economic conditions in India generally, and our business in particular, if new restrictions on the private sector are introduced or if existing restrictions are increased.
47. Qualified Institutional Buyers and Non-Institutional Investors were not permitted to withdraw or lower their Bids (in terms of quantity of Equity Shares or the Bid Amount) at any stage after submitting a Bid and the Individual Investors were not permitted to withdraw their Bids after the Bid/ Issue Closing Date.
Pursuant to the SEBI ICDR Regulations, QIBs and Non-Institutional Investors were required to block the Bid amount on the submission of the Bid and not permitted to withdraw or lower their Bids (in terms of quantity of Equity Shares or the Bid Amount) at any stage after submitting a Bid. Similarly, Individual Investors could revise or withdraw their Bids at any time during the Bid/Issue Period and until the Bid/ Issue Closing Date, but not thereafter. While our Company is required to complete all necessary formalities for listing and commencement of trading of the Equity Shares on the Stock Exchange where such Equity Shares are proposed to be listed, including Allotment within three Working Days from the Bid/ Issue Closing Date or such other period as may be prescribed by SEBI, events affecting the Investor’s decision to invest in the Equity Shares, including adverse changes in international or national monetary policy, financial, political or economic conditions, our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition may arise between the date of submission of the Bid and Allotment.
Our Company may complete the Allotment of the Equity Shares even if such events occur, and such events limit the Investor’s ability to sell the Equity Shares Allotted pursuant to the Issue or cause the trading price of the Equity Shares to decline on listing. Therefore, QIBs and Non-Institutional Investors shall not be able to withdraw or lower their bids following adverse developments in international or national monetary policy, financial, political or economic conditions, our business, results of operations, cash flows or otherwise between the dates of submission of their Bids and Allotment.
46 | Pa ge48. Any future issuance of Equity Shares, or convertible securities or other equity-linked securities by us may dilute your shareholding and the sale of Equity Shares by the Promoters may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares.
We may be required to finance our growth, whether organic or inorganic, through future equity offerings. Any future issuance of the Equity Shares, convertible securities or securities linked to the Equity Shares by us, including through exercise of employee stock options under an employee benefit scheme may lead to dilution of your shareholding in our Company. Any future equity issuances by us (including under an employee benefit scheme) or disposal of our Equity Shares by the Promoters or any of our other principal shareholders or any other change in our shareholding structure to comply with the minimum public shareholding norms applicable to listed companies in India or any public perception regarding such issuance or sales may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares, which may lead to other adverse consequences including difficulty in raising capital through offering of our equity shares or incurring additional debt.
Except as disclosed in the chapter titled “Capital Structure” beginning on page 65, there can be no assurance that we shall not issue further Equity Shares or that our existing shareholders including our Promoters shall not dispose of further Equity Shares after the completion of the Issue (subject to compliance with the lock-in provisions under the SEBI ICDR Regulations) or pledge or encumber their Equity Shares. Any future issuances could also dilute the value of shareholder’s investment in the Equity Shares and adversely affect the trading price of our Equity Shares. Such securities may also be issued at prices below the Issue Price. We may also issue convertible debt securities to finance our future growth or fund our business activities. In addition, any perception by investors that such issuances or sales might occur could also affect the trading price of the Equity Shares.

Reason for high Trade receivables: - The Company’s trade receivable days generally range between 38 to 52 days. Its services are primarily sold to corporate clients, who often require longer credit periods. The credit terms vary depending on the client and the nature of services provided. Operating in a highly fragmented market, the Company faces intense competition from players of all sizes domestic as well as international, and from both organized and unorganized segments.
To remain competitive, the Company extends longer credit terms where necessary, enabling it to attract new customers and strengthen relationships with existing ones.
Reason for the Inventory in Fiscal 2026 and Fiscal 2027.
As on the date of filing of this Prospectus, the Company procures services from vendors and sells them to its customers after adding a commission. The services primarily include hotel bookings, airline tickets, hall bookings, and similar arrangements, which are generally purchased once customer demand is established and subsequently sold.
In a strategic shift, the Company has adopted a forward-purchase model by procuring airline tickets up to one year in advance based on demand forecasts. This approach is expected to enhance profit margins and improve service delivery to customers. Consequently, the inventory of the Company primarily comprises pre-booked tickets, purchased in anticipation of future demand and intended for sale during peak periods.
This strategic initiative, while beneficial for margins and customer satisfaction, will result in an increased working capital requirement, as the Company must incur costs for advance purchases well before the tickets are sold to customers.
Hence, the working capital requirement of our Company primarily arises from trade receivables and is expected to further increase in Fiscal 2026 and Fiscal 2027 due to the Company’s investment in procuring pre-booked tickets, which necessitates advance purchases.
Reasons for increase in Working Capital Requirements between Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2026 • With the increase in the demand of travel and tourism, the Company expects the healthy revenue growth. The Company shall offer higher credit period to its customer to attract new customers.
Trade Receivables is expected to increase by Rs. 256.36 lakhs or 84.55% to Rs. 559.55 lakhs from Rs. 303.19 lakhs between Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2026. The Company expects trade receivables days of 60 days in Fiscal 83 | Page2026 as compared to 39 days in Fiscal 2025. As the Company, will offer good credit term, the trade receivables will increase which will push the demand of working capital.
• Inventories are expected to increase by Rs. 326.67 lakhs or 100.00%, to Rs. 326.67 lakhs in Fiscal 2026 from Nil in Fiscal 2025. As part of its strategic shift, the Company has decided to purchase airline and hotel tickets in advance, up to one year ahead, based on demand forecasts. These pre-booked tickets will be sold during peak demand periods, unlike in the past when purchases were made only against confirmed demand. This change will result in the creation of inventory in the form of pre-booked tickets and will require the Company to incur costs for ticket purchases well before they are sold to customers, thereby increasing its working capital requirement.
• Short-term loans and advances are expected to increase by Rs. 34.92 lakhs, or 173.90%, to Rs. 55.00 lakhs in Fiscal 2026 from Rs.20.08 lakhs in Fiscal 2025. The increase in Short-term loans and advances is primarily attributable to advance payments to be made for the purchase of airline and hotel tickets, which will be procured in advance and intended to be sold during peak demand periods.

Reason for increase in sales and profit after tax in past financial years are:
FISCAL 2025 Our revenue from operations increased by Rs. 2,812.36 lakhs or 8.30% to Rs. 2,812.36 lakhs for Fiscal 2025 as compared to Rs. 2,596.77 lakhs for Fiscal 2024.

• The Company’s sale of services increased by Rs. 212.90 lakhs, or 8.21%, between Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal
2025. The growth in revenue was primarily driven by higher sales from Tour Packages (both Domestic and International) and Conference & Event services, which are high-margin offerings and contributed positively to profitability. Revenue from Tour Packages (Domestic and International) increased by Rs. 241.94 lakhs, or
28.60%, to Rs. 1,087.78 lakhs for Fiscal 2025 from Rs. 845.84 lakhs for Fiscal 2024. Similarly, revenue from Conference & Event services increased by Rs. 15.39 lakhs, or 87.97%, to Rs. 32.89 lakhs for Fiscal 2025 from Rs. 17.50 lakhs for Fiscal 2024.

No Particulars Assumptions .
Current Assets The Company do not possess inventory in Fiscal 2023, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2025 and as at September 30, 2025. As part of its strategic shift, the Company has decided to purchase airline and hotel tickets in advance, up to one year ahead, based on demand forecasts. These pre-booked tickets will be sold during peak demand periods, unlike in the past when purchases were made only against confirmed demand. This change will result in the creation of inventory in the form of pre-booked tickets and will require the Company to incur costs for ticket purchases well before they are sold to customers, thereby increasing its working capital requirement.

2027.
Since the Company purchases tickets in advance for future sales, this will result in a higher working capital requirement, as additional funds will be needed to procure tickets to be sold in subsequent periods.

SECTION VI- ABOUT THE COMPANY OUR INDUSTRY The information contained in this section is prepared by Infomerics Analytics & Research which was appointed by our Company vide engagement letter dated July 25, 2025 has been exclusively commissioned and paid for by our company in connection with the Issue. Infomerics Analytics & Research is an independent agency and has no relationship with our company, its Group Entities, Promoters, Directors, or the Book Running Lead Manager as on the date of this Prospectus. For risks in relation to commissioned reports, please refer to the chapter titled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 28.
Global Macroeconomic Scenario The global economy is projected to experience a deceleration in growth, with global GDP expanding by 2.8% in CY 2025, down from 3.3% in CY 2024. This slowdown is attributed to escalating trade tensions, particularly due to new U.S. tariffs, and heightened policy uncertainties. Global headline inflation is expected to decline to 4.3% in CY 2025 and further to 3.6% in CY 2026, as inflationary pressures ease across advanced economies, aided by tighter monetary policy, improved labour market conditions, and the resolution of supply disruptions. However, global trade growth is forecasted to slow significantly to 1.7% in CY 2025, reflecting the effects of escalating trade barriers and geopolitical instability.
In China, economic prospects remain constrained as the IMF downgraded its CY 2025 GDP growth forecast to
4.0%, due to persistent challenges in the real estate sector, weak consumer demand, and trade-related pressures.
In Europe, growth is expected to stagnate, with Germany’s GDP forecast at 0.0% in CY 2025, amidst trade disruptions and domestic weaknesses. The EU is actively seeking to address these challenges through renewed trade dialogue with the U.S.
Meanwhile, India continues to show resilience, with the IMF projecting stable real GDP growth of 6.2% in CY 2025, followed by a slight uptick to 6.3% in CY 2026. This is supported by robust rural consumption and sustained infrastructure investment. The IMF notes that India remains one of the fastest-growing major economies, driven by favourable demographics, expanding digital infrastructure, and rising investment activity. Consumer price inflation in India is projected to moderate to 4.2% in CY 2025, staying within the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) target range of 2–6%, which helps maintain purchasing power and economic stability. The IMF also highlights the importance of continued structural reforms in India, particularly in labour markets, logistics, and capital formation, to sustain medium-term growth momentum.
Overall, while inflation is declining globally, the economic outlook remains clouded by geopolitical uncertainty, trade fragmentation, and region-specific structural challenges. However, India’s relative macroeconomic stability, demographic advantage, and ongoing investment cycle place it in a strong position amid global headwinds.
1.1 Global GDP Growth Scenario The global economy began to recover from its lowest levels following the lifting of lockdowns in CY 2020 and
2021. The pandemic-induced lockdown was a key factor that severely disrupted economic activities, leading to a recession in CY 2020, where global GDP contracted by -2.7%.
In CY 2021, supply chain disruptions significantly impacted both advanced economies and low-income developing economies. The rapid spread of the Delta variant and the threat of new variants in mid-2021 further heightened uncertainty in the global economic environment.
Global economic activity saw a sharper-than-expected slowdown in CY 2022. The highest inflation in decades, observed in CY 2022, forced most central banks to tighten their monetary & fiscal policies. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine exacerbated global food supply issues, further increasing the cost of living.
Despite initial resilience in early CY 2023, marked by a rebound from the pandemic and progress in curbing inflation from the previous year's highs, the situation remained precarious. Economic activity continued to lag its pre-pandemic trajectory, especially in emerging markets and developing economies, leading to widening regional 107 | Pagedisparities. Several factors impeded recovery, including the lasting impacts of the pandemic, geopolitical tensions, tightening monetary policies to combat inflation, reductions in fiscal support amid high debt levels, and extreme weather conditions. As a result, global growth slowed from 3.6% in CY 2022 to 3.5% in CY 2023.
The global economy maintained moderate momentum in CY 2024, with real GDP growth estimated at 3.3%, supported by easing inflationary pressures, recovering supply chains, and resilient consumer demand in some major economies. Advanced economies, particularly the U.S., benefitted from strong labour markets and improved private consumption. However, growth remained uneven across regions, with emerging markets facing tighter financial conditions and subdued export demand. Inflation declined faster than anticipated in many regions, enabling some central banks to consider gradual monetary easing by the end of the year.

Note: Advanced Economies and Emerging & Developing Economies are as per the classification of the World Economic Outlook (WEO). This classification is not based on strict criteria, economic or otherwise, and it has evolved over time. It comprises of 40 countries under the Advanced Economies including the G7 (the United States, Japan, Germany, France, Italy, the United Kingdom, and Canada) and selected countries from the Euro Zone (Germany, Italy, France etc.). The group of emerging market and developing economies (156) includes all those that are not classified as Advanced Economies (India, China, Brazil, Malaysia etc.) In the current scenario, global GDP growth is projected to decelerate to 2.8% in CY 2025, reflecting mounting economic pressures across both advanced and emerging markets. This marks a significant slowdown driven by intensifying trade fragmentation, the impact of new U.S. tariffs, and elevated geopolitical tensions. Structural weaknesses such as the ongoing real estate crisis in China, stagnant growth in the Eurozone, and tight financial conditions in major economies are expected to weigh heavily on global output. Additionally, stress in housing and banking sectors, coupled with subdued industrial activity, is contributing to a muted growth outlook. On the inflation front, the IMF projects global headline inflation to decline to 4.3% in CY 2025, continuing a disinflationary trend as energy prices stabilize and supply-side disruptions ease. The softening of labour markets— reflected in lower job vacancy rates and modest increases in unemployment—is also expected to help reduce core inflation. This provides room for some central banks to initiate cautious interest rate cuts, although the broader economic outlook remains uncertain due to persistent global risks.

1.3 GDP Growth Across Major Regions GDP growth across major global regions—including Europe, Latin America & the Caribbean, Middle East & Central Asia, and Sub-Saharan Africa—continues to display varied trajectories. While some regions are stabilizing post-pandemic, others remain challenged by structural and cyclical issues. The global outlook presents a mixed scenario, with emerging economies continuing to outperform advanced economies.

In Emerging and Developing Asia, growth is projected to moderate from 5.3% in CY 2024 to 4.5% in CY 2025, before recovering slightly to 4.6% in CY 2026. India is expected to grow at 6.2% in CY 2025, supported by resilient rural consumption and sustained infrastructure investments, though lower than 6.5% growth recorded in CY 2024. In contrast, China's growth is likely to decelerate to 4.0% in CY 2025, amid persistent real estate concerns and weak domestic demand.
Sub-Saharan Africa is projected to grow at 3.8% in CY 2025, slightly below the 4.0% growth in CY 2024, with a further improvement to 4.2% in CY 2026. The recovery is being aided by improved weather conditions and better functioning supply chains.
In the Middle East and Central Asia, the economy is forecasted to expand at 3.0% in CY 2025, up from 2.4% in CY 2024, and further strengthen to 3.5% in CY 2026, driven by stabilization in oil production and ongoing economic reforms.
For Latin America and the Caribbean, modest growth of 2.0% is forecast for CY 2025, holding steady from CY 2024, with expectations of a rebound to 2.4% in CY 2026, helped by stronger macroeconomic management across key economies.
Emerging and Developing Europe remains subdued, with growth estimated at 2.1% in CY 2025, down from 3.4% in CY 2024, expected to be stable at 2.1% by CY 2026. The region continues to face structural manufacturing challenges, particularly in major economies like Germany.
Overall, while global growth is expected to remain steady, regional disparities persist, influenced by a combination of domestic challenges, external geopolitical tensions, and fluctuating commodity prices.
109 | Page1.4 Global Economic Outlook At the midpoint of the calendar year, so far in 2025, the global economy continues to exhibit mixed performance, with divergence in outcomes across regions due to differences in economic growth, inflation dynamics, and policy responses. The global GDP growth is projected at 2.8% in CY2025, down from an estimated 3.3% in CY 2024.
While short-term prospects have improved since early 2024 due to easing inflation and gradual loosening of monetary policy in several regions, the broader environment remains challenging. Structural headwinds, such as tighter credit conditions, supply-side bottlenecks, and lingering geopolitical risks, are keeping global growth below historical averages.
The United States has continued to outperform other advanced economies, with growth projected at 1.8% in CY 2025, down from 2.8% in CY 2024, as the economy absorbs the lagged effects of earlier monetary tightening and persistent inflation. Growth is expected to moderate to 1.7% in CY 2026, as consumer demand normalizes and policy remains cautiously tight.
The Euro Area remains subdued, with GDP growth expected at 0.8% in CY 2025, supported by the European Central Bank’s first-interest rate cuts since 2019 (implemented in June 2024) and stronger domestic demand.
However, countries like Germany, France, and Italy continue to struggle due to weak manufacturing performance,
whereas Greece and Spain have benefited from robust tourism activity. A mild recovery to 1.2% growth is expected in CY 2026, as monetary easing takes hold and investment improves.
In China, growth is projected at 4.0% in CY 2025, supported by targeted stimulus and a gradual recovery in the real estate sector. The momentum is expected to continue into CY 2026, with growth steady at 4.0%, underpinned by infrastructure investment and domestic consumption.
India remains one of the strongest performers globally, with GDP growth forecasted at 6.2% in CY 2025, supported by robust consumption, capital investment, and favourable demographics. This strength is expected to persist, with GDP growth projected at 6.3% in CY 2026, driven by resilient domestic demand and ongoing structural reforms.
In Latin America and the Caribbean, growth is uneven. Larger economies like Brazil and Mexico are seeing moderate expansions, but the regional outlook remains subdued, with GDP growth forecast at 2.0% in 2025, impacted by external headwinds, commodity price volatility, and political uncertainty. A modest recovery is anticipated in 2026, with regional GDP growth rising to 2.4%, aided by stabilizing commodity prices and fiscal support in select countries.
Sub-Saharan Africa’s growth is expected to ease to 3.8% in CY 2025, amid tightening global financial conditions and declining oil revenues for key exporters. However, the region is poised to regain momentum in CY 2026, with GDP growth projected at 4.2%, supported by continued infrastructure development, improved agriculture output, and a growing digital economy.
In the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, growth is projected to moderate to 2.6% in CY 2025, primarily due to lower oil prices and geopolitical tensions. A recovery is likely in CY 2026, with GDP growth expected at 3.4%, supported by diversification initiatives and higher non-oil activity.
Globally, industrial production remained sluggish through the first half of 2025, constrained by high interest rates, trade fragmentation, and lingering supply chain disruptions. However, a mild recovery is anticipated in the second half of the year as global trade stabilizes and domestic demand for goods strengthens. Central banks in several advanced economies—including the Eurozone, Switzerland, Sweden, and Canada—have begun cutting rates to support demand, though inflation trends remain uneven. Disinflation has progressed slower than expected, particularly in services and wage-heavy sectors, making monetary easing cautious and data-dependent.
Overall, the global economy appears to be stabilizing, but growth in CY 2025 (2.8%) and CY2026 (3.0%) remains below historical averages. Advanced economies continue to grow modestly under the weight of tight policies and weak external demand, while emerging markets, particularly in Asia, show stronger but slowing momentum. The 110 | Pa ge` outlook for 2026 depends significantly on the trajectory of inflation, the pace of global monetary easing, and geopolitical developments.
India’s Macroeconomic Scenario
2.1 Gross Domestic Product (GDP) India Expected to Grow at Twice the Pace of Global Economic Growth The global economy continues to face persistent challenges, including the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, heightened geopolitical tensions, and climate-related disruptions that have affected energy and food supply chains. Global real GDP growth is projected at 2.8% in CY 2025, indicating a moderation in global momentum. In contrast, India's real GDP is projected to grow at 6.2% in CY 2025, continuing its trend of significantly outpacing global averages and reaffirming its position as the fastest-growing major economy. This implies that India is expected to grow at more than twice the pace of global GDP, supported by strong domestic demand, structural reforms, and increased infrastructure investment. India’s resilience among the G20 economies further strengthens its role as a key driver of global economic growth in the coming years.

2.2 Gross Value Added (GVA) Gross Value Added (GVA) is the measure of the value of goods and services produced in an economy. GVA gives a picture of the supply side whereas GDP represents consumption.
Industry and Services sector leading the recovery charge • India's economy demonstrated robust growth across various sectors. The gap between GDP and GVA growth turned positive. The positive gap between GDP and GVA growth indicates robust tax collections contributing to GDP growth.
• India’s sector-wise economic performance in FY 2024–25 reveals a shift in momentum across its primary, secondary, and tertiary sectors, with notable differences compared to the previous fiscal year. • The Primary Sector—comprising agriculture, livestock, forestry, fishing, and mining & quarrying— registered a growth of 3.6% in FY25, showing a notable improvement from the 2.1% growth in FY24. This uptick can be attributed to stronger performance in agriculture and allied activities, along with moderate gains in mining and quarrying. However, erratic monsoon patterns and rising input costs may have constrained agricultural output during the year.
• In contrast, the Secondary Sector—which includes manufacturing, electricity, gas, water supply & other utilities, and construction—recorded a solid growth of 6.5% in FY25, though lower than the impressive 9.7% growth seen in the previous year. This resilient performance was primarily driven by a notable recovery in manufacturing and robust momentum in infrastructure-related segments like construction and utilities.
• The Tertiary Sector or services sector posted 7.2% growth in FY25, slightly lower than the 7.6% achieved in FY24, yet it remained a major pillar of overall economic growth. Strong performances were observed in trade, hotels, transport, financial services, real estate, and professional services. However, public administration and defence services saw more modest growth, slightly dampening the overall momentum in this segment.
• Overall, growth in India’s real Gross Value Added (GVA) in FY25 was primarily driven by the resurgence of the secondary sector and sustained strength in key segments of the services sector, even as the primary sector showed signs of moderation.

2.3 Consumer Price Index (CPI) Inflation Stable Inflationary Environment In fiscal year 2025 (FY25), India’s General Index inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), averaged 4.6%, marking the lowest annual inflation rate since FY 2018–19. This moderation in inflation reflects a significant improvement in the country’s price stability post-COVID. In March 2025, CPI Inflation stood at
3.34%, the lowest monthly rate since August 2019, indicating sustained disinflationary momentum in recent months.

In parallel, the government actively intervened in food markets, particularly by augmenting buffer stocks of essential commodities and releasing them strategically to stabilize prices. These coordinated efforts helped ease supply-side pressures, especially on food inflation.
Looking ahead, projected CPI inflation for FY26 to average around 4%, signalling continued focus on maintaining price stability. In support of this trajectory, the RBI recently announced a cut in the repo rate, which is expected to result in a more accommodative monetary policy stance in the coming months. This environment of low inflation and easing interest rates may provide a favourable backdrop for economic expansion in the near term.

2.5 Private Final Consumption Expenditure (PFCE) Private Final Consumption Expenditure (PFCE) represents the total spending by resident households on final consumption of goods and services, serving as a key indicator of consumer demand and overall economic well- being. It reflects the extent of household consumption and plays a crucial role in driving GDP growth. In FY2025, PFCE at constant prices rose to 56.7% of GDP, up from 56.1% in FY2024, indicating a gradual improvement in household spending patterns. This increase suggests stronger consumer confidence, supported by factors such as easing inflation, improving income levels, and a favourable consumption environment.

2.6 IIP Growth – Index of Industrial Production As per the Index of Industrial Production (IIP), the industrial sector grew by 4.0% in FY 2025, moderating from
5.9% in FY 2024 and 5.2% in FY 2023. This deceleration in overall IIP growth in FY 2025 reflects a softening of industrial momentum amidst global headwinds and tighter financial conditions.
Among key components: • Manufacturing (which holds a 77.6% weight in IIP) registered a slower growth of 3.9% in FY 2025, compared to 5.5% in FY 2024 and 4.7% in FY 2023. • Mining growth also moderated sharply to 2.9% in FY 2025 from 7.5% in FY 2024 and 5.8% in FY 2023.
• Electricity growth remained relatively stable at 5.1% in FY 2025, slightly down from 7.1% in FY 2024 and significantly lower than 8.9% in FY 2023.
This slowdown indicates tightening domestic demand and spillover effects from a weaker global industrial cycle.

• Primary Goods also witnessed slower growth at 3.9%, compared to 6.1% in FY 2024 and 7.5% in FY 2023. • Intermediate Goods rebounded modestly to 4.1% in FY 2025, up from 3.8% in FY 2023, although still lower than 5.3% in FY 2024.
• Infrastructure/Construction Goods slowed to 6.6% in FY 2025 from 9.7% in FY 2024 and 8.4% in FY 2023, pointing to softening construction and infrastructure activity. • Consumer Durables grew significantly by 7.9%, rebounding from 3.6% in FY 2024 and 0.6% in FY 2023, indicating improved demand in consumer electronics and appliances.
• In contrast, Consumer Non-Durables contracted by 1.6% in FY 2025, reversing the 4.1% growth in FY 2024, likely reflecting subdued rural and essential goods demand.
The divergence in growth across segments suggests an uneven industrial recovery in FY 2025. While certain consumer categories have rebounded, investment-related and primary sectors remain under pressure.
2.7 Overview on Key Demographic Parameters
2.7.1 Population growth and Urbanization India’s economic growth and expanding private consumption are intrinsically linked to its demographic and urbanization trends. According to the World Bank, India’s population is estimated to have reached approximately
1.44 billion in CY 2024, reaffirming its position as the world’s most populous country, ahead of China. This continued growth reflects an expanding labour force and consumer base, both of which are critical to sustaining long-term economic development.
116 | Pa ge` A key metric in demographic analysis—the age dependency ratio, defined as the ratio of dependents (individuals aged below 15 or above 64) to the working-age population (15–64 years)—has been on a downward trajectory for several decades. From a high of 76% in 1983, the dependency ratio declined to 47% in CY 2023 and is estimated at 50.2% in CY 2024. This decline signifies that for every 100 working-age individuals, there are only about 50 dependents, indicating a favourable demographic dividend. A greater share of the population is now within the working-age group, potentially contributing to enhanced economic productivity and income generation.
Trend of India Population vis-à-vis dependency ratio
Source: World Bank Database However, a parallel trend is emerging in the form of a rising old-age dependency ratio—the proportion of individuals aged 65 and above relative to the working-age population. This figure has gradually increased, reaching 10.4% in CY 2024, suggesting the onset of an aging demographic shift. This highlights the growing need for robust healthcare systems, pension reforms, and social security mechanisms to address future challenges associated with an aging population.
India’s youthful demographic remains one of its most significant advantages. With a median age of around 29 years, India has one of the youngest populations globally. Nearly one-fifth of the world’s youth resides in India, and as millions enter the workforce each year, this demographic bulge offers enormous potential—provided it is met with adequate job creation, education, and skills training.
Urbanization, too, is transforming India’s socio-economic fabric. The urban population rose from 413 million in CY 2013 (32% of total population) to 519.5 million in CY 2023 (36.4%), and further to approximately 535 million in CY 2024 (36.9%), according to World Bank estimates. This rapid growth in urban areas underscores the need for sustainable urban planning, investment in infrastructure, and development of smart cities to accommodate and benefit from the shifting population dynamics.

2.7.2 Disposable Income and Consumer Spending Gross National Disposable Income (GNDI) represents the total income available to a nation’s residents for consumption and saving after accounting for income transfers with the rest of the world. In FY24, Per capita GNDI grew by 9.85%, followed by a moderate growth of 8.05% in FY25. This steady increase indicates that households and businesses had more income at their disposal, which is critical for supporting both consumption and savings—key components of economic resilience and expansion.
The rise in GNDI has translated into higher consumer spending, as reflected in the growth of Private Final Consumption Expenditure (PFCE), which measures the total value of goods and services consumed by households. Per Capita PFCE grew by 8.04% in FY24 and further accelerated to 10.09% in FY25, highlighting strong consumer confidence and robust domestic demand.

2.8 Union Budget FY25-26 Highlights The Union Budget FY 2025–26, presented by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, introduces a comprehensive set of measures aimed at stimulating economic growth, enhancing infrastructure, and fostering inclusive development. With a focus on sectors such as agriculture, MSMEs, infrastructure, innovation, and exports, the budget seeks to create a conducive environment for sustained economic expansion.
• Capital Expenditure and Infrastructure Development The government has earmarked a substantial ₹11.21 lakh crore (3.1% of GDP) for capital expenditure in FY 2025–26. This allocation is directed towards infrastructure projects, including rural development, manufacturing, and skill-building initiatives. Notably, the Urban Challenge Fund has been established with a corpus of ₹1 lakh crore, aimed at financing 25% of the cost of bankable urban infrastructure projects, thereby promoting sustainable urban development.
• Support for MSMEs Recognizing the pivotal role of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in India's economic landscape, the budget introduces several measures to bolster this sector. The Credit Guarantee cover has been enhanced to ₹10 crore, unlocking ₹1.5 lakh crore in additional funding for MSMEs over the next five years.
118 | Pa ge` Additionally, the establishment of a Fund of Funds with a ₹10,000 crore corpus aims to provide equity support to startups and potential MSMEs, focusing on high-growth sectors such as electronics and renewable energy.
• Tax Reforms and Disposable Income To stimulate consumption and investment, the budget introduces significant tax reforms. The tax-free income threshold has been raised to ₹12 lakh, and the new tax regime offers reduced rates for higher income brackets.
These changes are expected to increase disposable income, thereby encouraging higher savings and investment among the middle class. • Focus on Agriculture and Exports The budget prioritizes agriculture as a key engine of development, with increased allocations for agricultural credit and initiatives aimed at enhancing productivity. Furthermore, measures to promote exports include the reduction of customs duties on select goods and the introduction of policies to facilitate easier market access for Indian products.
• Urban Development Initiatives A significant increase in the budget allocation for the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs to ₹96,777 crore reflects the government's commitment to urban development. Key initiatives include the establishment of the Urban Challenge Fund, enhanced loans under the PM SVANidhi scheme, and substantial provisions for the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana and Urban Rejuvenation Mission, all aimed at improving urban infrastructure and living standards.
The Union Budget FY 2025–26 presents a balanced approach to economic growth by addressing immediate consumption needs and laying the foundation for long-term sustainability. Through targeted investments in infrastructure, support for MSMEs, tax reforms, and sector-specific initiatives, the budget aims to foster an inclusive and resilient economy. These measures are expected to create new opportunities for financial institutions, as the growing demand for investment products will provide avenues for expansion and innovation in the financial services sector.
2.9 Concluding Remarks about Macroeconomic Scenario The major headwinds to global economic growth remain significant, with escalating geopolitical tensions, volatile global commodity prices, high interest rates, inflationary pressures, instability in international financial markets, climate change, rising public debt, and the rapid evolution of new technologies. Despite these challenges, India's economy is relatively well-positioned compared to other emerging markets. According to the latest IMF forecast, India’s GDP growth is expected to be 6.2% in CY 2025, maintaining its position as the fastest-growing major economy globally, well above the global growth projection of 2.8%. Key positive factors for the Indian economy include continued strong domestic demand, robust government support for capital expenditure, moderating inflation, growing investments in technology, and improving business confidence.
India’s strategic position as a manufacturing hub is further strengthened by government initiatives, a skilled labour force, and a dynamic startup ecosystem, all of which bolster the country's economic outlook. The ongoing reforms and focus on innovation are enabling India to seize emerging opportunities, making it a growing player in the global manufacturing landscape. In addition, several high-frequency growth indicators—such as the Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI), E-way bills, bank credit, toll collections, and GST collections—have shown a positive trajectory in FY25. The normalization of employment post-economic reopening is expected to provide further support to consumption expenditure.
Public investment is also poised to grow, with the government allocating a significant ₹11.21 lakh crore for capital expenditure in FY25. The private sector’s investment intentions are showing positive signs, as evidenced by increased new project investments and a strong import of capital goods. Furthermore, rural demand is likely to improve, bolstered by healthy sowing, better reservoir levels, and the positive progress of the southwest monsoon, coupled with the government's push for infrastructure investment and other policy measures. These factors are expected to further support the investment cycle and strengthen India's economic resilience in the coming years.

Industry Overview- Global and India Tourism Sector Some imagine travel as jetting off to tropical locations and relaxing on beautiful sandy beaches, while others plan adventurous excursions backpacking across the globe. These days, with an endless variety of destinations, activities, modes of transport, accommodation, and more, it is possible for anyone to plan their perfect trip. It is therefore unsurprising that the travel and tourism industry is one of the most competitive and expansive sectors in the world. Tourism has become one of the largest and fastest-growing economic sectors globally, serving as a key driver of GDP, employment, and sustainable development. Whether people travel for leisure, business, or educational purposes, the impact of this sector is profound, shaping economies, cultures, and societies across the world.
The sector’s influence goes far beyond just vacationing or business travel. It spans multiple industries, including hospitality, transportation, entertainment, and technology. Airlines, cruise lines, hotels, restaurants, and travel agencies are just a few examples of the wide-reaching industries that rely on tourism. With increasing globalization, tourism fosters connections across nations, strengthens cultural exchange, and promotes international understanding. As digital advancements reshape how people book and plan their travels, the tourism industry has become more accessible, personalized, and diverse. Technological innovations—such as online travel agencies (OTAs), mobile booking apps, and AI in travel—have made it easier for people to explore new destinations, create personalized itineraries, and enjoy seamless travel experiences.
India, with its unique blend of cultural heritage, natural beauty, and a rapidly growing middle class, is emerging as a major force in global travel—both as a source and destination market. The country’s rich history, vibrant cities, diverse landscapes, and expanding travel infrastructure have turned it into one of the most sought-after destinations for tourists worldwide. At the same time, India’s expanding middle class, coupled with a growing appetite for international experiences, is contributing to its position as one of the largest outbound tourism markets.
As travel preferences shift towards experiential tourism, where travellers seek authentic cultural interactions, eco- friendly travel options, and unique adventures, India’s prominence in the global tourism landscape continues to rise.
Tourism is also increasingly recognized for its role in sustainable development. As more travellers prioritize eco- friendly accommodations, responsible tourism practices, and carbon-offset programs, the industry is evolving to meet these demands. Countries around the world, including India, are investing in green tourism initiatives, sustainable infrastructure, and preserving natural and cultural resources, ensuring that the benefits of tourism are not only felt today but are preserved for future generations.

3.1.1 Market Size & Recovery The global travel and tourism industry were valued at USD 10.9 trillion in CY 2024, marking a strong recovery from the pandemic-induced downturn and significantly exceeding its CY 2019 value of USD 9.6 trillion. This growth reflects not just a return to normalcy but an expansion of the sector beyond pre-COVID levels. The industry’s rebound has been fuelled by a surge in leisure travel, easing of international travel restrictions, increased digital adoption in bookings, and rising disposable incomes in emerging markets. With these favourable trends, the sector is projected to surpass USD 11 trillion by CY 2025. According to the World Travel & Tourism Council
(WTTC), the upward momentum is expected to continue as global mobility improves, and travel confidence strengthens further.
3.1.2 GDP Contribution Accounted for 10 % of global GDP in CY 2024, a significant share considering the size and diversity of the global economy. This contribution encompasses not only direct expenditures on tourism-related services such as hotels, transportation, and entertainment but also indirect contributions through industries like retail, construction, and food services. The global tourism sector is projected to grow steadily, driven by the increasing demand for sustainable travel and experience-based tourism.

VR travel experiences are allowing customers to virtually explore destinations, creating an immersive experience that influences their travel decisions. These innovations are reshaping how travellers plan, book, and experience their trips.
122 | Pa ge` • Eco-conscious and regenerative tourism: As concerns about environmental sustainability grow, the tourism sector is embracing eco-conscious and regenerative tourism. Tourists are increasingly prioritizing sustainable options, such as eco-friendly accommodations, low-carbon transport, and experiences that contribute to the preservation of natural environments. This trend aligns with global efforts to promote sustainability, reduce carbon footprints, and protect local ecosystems.
• Experience-first travel: The demand for experience-first travel is reshaping the tourism landscape. Travelers are moving away from traditional sightseeing to seek more personalized, immersive experiences, such as wellness tourism, culinary tourism, and adventure tourism. Whether it's a wellness retreat, a cooking class in Tuscany, or a hiking expedition in the Himalayas, these experiences cater to travellers seeking authenticity, connection, and new forms of discovery.
• Rise of Asia-Pacific: The Asia-Pacific region is increasingly becoming a dominant hub for tourism growth.
This includes both inbound tourism to countries like Japan, Thailand, and Australia, and outbound tourism from countries like China, India, and South Korea. The region's expanding middle class, combined with rapid infrastructure development and a growing appetite for travel, positions it as a major driver of global tourism expansion.
• Outbound Spending: Global tourism receipts—the total spending of international tourists—are projected to exceed USD 2 trillion by CY 2025. This indicates the ongoing strength of the tourism sector and the increasing willingness of travellers to spend on their trips. As economies recover and incomes rise, particularly in emerging markets like India and China, tourism spending is expected to continue its upward trajectory.

3.2 Indian Tourism Industry India’s travel and tourism industry are one of the most significant contributors to its economy, with the country consistently ranking among the top 10 globally in terms of the GDP contribution from this sector. The rich diversity of India’s tourism offerings, ranging from its cultural and historical heritage to wellness and adventure tourism, gives the country a unique advantage in the global tourism landscape.
India’s tourism sector thrives on its vast diversity that caters to a wide range of tourist interests. From the ancient monuments of the Indus Valley Civilization and the grandeur of the Taj Mahal to the rich spiritual heritage offered by its temples, shrines, and religious festivals, India is home to an unparalleled wealth of cultural and heritage tourism. Beyond its historical and cultural significance, India also boasts a rapidly growing wellness tourism sector, with globally recognized Ayurveda, yoga, and spiritual retreats attracting travellers seeking healing and rejuvenation. As people around the world become more health-conscious and search for ways to disconnect from their stressful lifestyles, India’s wellness offerings have gained prominence, further boosting its position as a global tourism powerhouse.
In addition to these, adventure tourism, eco-tourism, and beach tourism in states like Goa, Kerala, and Himachal Pradesh appeal to both international and domestic travellers seeking immersive, nature-based experiences. The backpacker tourism scene in regions like Rajasthan and Uttarakhand, and luxury tourism in places like Jaipur and the Andaman Islands, make India a versatile destination for every type of traveller.
India also represents one of the fastest-growing outbound tourism markets globally. The rise of the middle class, increasing disposable incomes, and changing travel preferences of young, adventurous Indian travellers have led to an explosion in outbound tourism. Indian tourists are increasingly opting for international travel, drawn to destinations across Asia, Europe, and North America. This growing demand for global travel is not just contributing to the Indian economy but also influencing the way international tourism markets and service providers are adapting to Indian travellers’ preferences, including customized packages, food offerings, and tailored experiences.
123 | PageThe increasing middle-class income levels and the growing appetite for overseas travel contribute substantially to the global tourism economy, as Indian tourists are not just visiting traditional destinations but exploring new and exotic locales.
3.2.1 GDP Contribution ~5% of India’s GDP; projected to reach 7.6% by CY 2034 In CY 2024, the travel and tourism sector contributed approximately 5% to India’s Gross Domestic Product
(GDP), highlighting its critical role in the national economy. This figure reflects both direct contributions—from services like hotels, travel agencies, transport, and leisure services—and indirect contributions such as supply chain and investment impacts.
According to estimates from the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) and supported by data from the Ministry of Tourism, Government of India, this contribution is expected to grow significantly, reaching 7.6% by CY 2034. The projected increase is driven by rising domestic consumption, improved connectivity, growing middle-class spending power, and focused government interventions aimed at making tourism a strategic sector for economic development.
3.2.2 Employment Over 8.0 crore jobs, directly and indirectly The tourism industry is a massive employment generator in India. As of CY 2024, the sector supported an estimated 8.0 crore (80 million) jobs, a notable increase from 7.6 crore jobs in CY 2023—this includes both direct employment (in sectors such as hotels, airlines, travel agencies, and cultural sites) and indirect employment (including jobs created through supply chains, infrastructure development, and ancillary services).
This makes the tourism sector one of the largest sources of employment in the country. The Ministry of Tourism and NITI Aayog have emphasized the sector’s ability to create jobs across skill levels and regions, especially in Tier II and Tier III cities and rural areas. The government’s skill development programs and tourism-specific initiatives—like the Incredible India Tourist Facilitator Certification—are further aimed at boosting employability and professional standards within the industry.
3.2.3 Tourism Market Size USD 22.5 billion in CY 2024; expected CAGR of 6.1% till CY 2033 India's tourism market is currently estimated to be worth USD 22.5 billion in CY 2024, reflecting strong post- pandemic recovery. The market size includes spending on domestic and inbound travel, accommodation, food services, entertainment, and cultural activities. Growth has been propelled by increased domestic travel, a surge in interest for wellness and spiritual tourism, and improved digital travel infrastructure.
According to projections based on trends from the Ministry of Tourism and aligned with Invest India and WTTC forecasts, the Indian tourism market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1% until CY 2033. Factors supporting this growth include:
• A rising middle-class population with increasing disposable income • Widespread internet penetration and mobile booking platforms • Expansion of air and rail connectivity • Government focus on infrastructure and circuit development (e.g., Swadesh Darshan, PRASHAD schemes) 124 | Pa ge`
3.2.4 Foreign Tourist Arrivals (FTAs)
1.4% of international tourist arrives in India

The Gulf countries—especially the UAE and Saudi Arabia—remain pivotal to India’s travel ecosystem, driven by employment ties, business linkages, religious tourism, and family visitation. With continued investments in aviation and visa reforms, outbound travel from India to GCC nations is expected to grow further in the coming years.
126 | Pa ge` Outbound Travel to Gulf Countries In 2024, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region, particularly the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia, continued to dominate as the top destinations for Indian outbound travellers, reflecting deep-rooted economic, cultural, and diaspora connections.
• The UAE accounted for 25.09% of all Indian departures, retaining its position as the most visited international destination by Indian nationals. Travel to the UAE was driven by a combination of tourism, business visits, job placements, and VFR (visiting friends and relatives), particularly in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah. The UAE’s visa liberalization, airline connectivity (especially through Emirates, Air India, and IndiGo), and year- round events like Dubai Expo, shopping festivals, and healthcare tourism continued to attract Indian travellers.
• Saudi Arabia, with an 11.03% share, emerged as the second-largest destination for Indian travellers. The spike in travel was attributed to both pilgrimage tourism (notably Umrah and Hajj) and the growing economic collaboration under Saudi Vision 2030. The resumption of work-related travel, increased demand for skilled and semi-skilled Indian labor, and enhanced air connectivity (e.g., Air India, Saudia, Flynas) significantly contributed to this surge.
Together, the UAE and Saudi Arabia accounted for over 36.12% of Indian outbound traffic in CY 2024, underscoring the strategic importance of the Gulf corridor for India’s outbound tourism and labour mobility.
3.2.8 Mode of Transport of Indian Nationals’ Departures from India In 2024, outbound travel by Indian nationals continued to maintain strong momentum, reflecting sustained demand for international mobility. Among the various modes of international transport, air travel remained the overwhelmingly preferred choice for departures from India, supported by the availability of extensive flight connectivity and improved airport infrastructure. Land routes, which cater largely to cross-border travel to neighbouring countries, constituted a minor share of total departures. Sea travel remained the least utilized mode, primarily limited to select destinations with operational passenger maritime routes. The trend underlines the dominant role of air connectivity in facilitating overseas movement of Indian nationals.
3.2.9 Top Domestic Tourist Destinations India’s domestic tourism sector witnessed a robust revival in CY 2024, reaffirming its status as a cornerstone of the country’s overall travel and tourism ecosystem. The strong growth momentum observed during the year reflects a broader post-pandemic rebound in travel sentiment. Key factors driving this resurgence include enhanced air, rail, and road connectivity; continued investments in tourism infrastructure; state-led promotional campaigns; and a rising middle-income population with increasing discretionary spending.
Domestic travel patterns during the period exhibited a marked shift towards regional exploration, cultural immersion, spiritual tourism, wellness retreats, and short-haul leisure trips. These trends highlight evolving traveller preferences and the growing importance of experience-driven itineraries within India.
Among Indian states, Uttar Pradesh emerged as a leading domestic tourism destination, propelled by its strong portfolio of spiritual sites such as Varanasi, Ayodhya, and Mathura, coupled with its historical significance and UNESCO-listed monuments. Tamil Nadu continued to maintain a strong position owing to its blend of temple architecture, coastal attractions, and scenic hill stations. Other states such as Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Madhya Pradesh also reported high levels of domestic footfall, driven by diverse offerings ranging from heritage circuits and wildlife sanctuaries to urban tourism and cultural festivals.
Centrally protected monuments under the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) remained pivotal to the growth of heritage tourism in the country. The Taj Mahal retained its position as one of the most visited monuments by domestic travellers, supported by sustained interest in India’s rich architectural legacy. Other historically significant sites such as the Sun Temple in Konark and Qutub Minar in Delhi also continued to attract strong domestic tourist volumes, underscoring the enduring appeal of India’s cultural and heritage assets.

9.40% (0.91 million visitors) 1.78% (0.54 million travellers) This category encompasses travel for cultural exchanges, personal reasons, diplomatic visits, and undefined or multi-purpose travel. It also captures the growing trend of “b-leisure” travel, where business travellers extend their stay for leisure purposes.
4.2.2 Based on Service Provider • Online Travel Agencies (OTAs): Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) are digital platforms that function as centralized hubs for consumers to book various travel-related services, including flights, hotels, car rentals, and holiday packages. These platforms aggregate inventory from multiple suppliers, enabling users to compare prices, read reviews, and book services directly online. By consolidating various travel options into one platform, OTAs streamline the booking process and provide a convenient and user-friendly interface, allowing travellers to plan and manage their trips from the comfort of their homes.
The scope of OTAs is extensive, with a global reach that serves both leisure and business travellers. These platforms cater to a wide spectrum of consumers, ranging from individuals planning family vacations to companies arranging business travel. OTAs also offer additional services such as pre-trip planning, including 130 | Pa ge` travel recommendations, guides, and booking tools, as well as post-trip assistance like travel reviews and customer support. In recent years, particularly after the pandemic, OTAs have experienced significant growth, driven by the increasing preference for online travel bookings. Their growth is further accelerated by the widespread use of mobile devices, which allow travellers to manage their bookings and receive real-time updates on-the-go, making travel planning more accessible and flexible.
By providing a broad range of options from airlines, hotel chains, and car rental services, OTAs allow users to tailor their travel plans according to their preferences and budget, offering a seamless and comprehensive travel experience. As OTAs evolve, they are diversifying their offerings to cater to emerging travel trends, ensuring they remain competitive in an increasingly digital travel ecosystem.
• B2B Travel Aggregators: B2B Travel Aggregators are technology-driven platforms that primarily serve businesses such as travel agents, sub-agents, and corporate clients. These platforms aggregate various travel services—such as flights, hotels, car rentals, and transfers—at bulk rates and make them available for reselling or distribution by businesses in the travel industry. One of the main advantages of B2B travel aggregators is their ability to streamline the booking process for businesses by offering easy-to-use systems and API integration, allowing seamless connections between suppliers and agents. This ensures that businesses can access a vast array of travel products and services in one place, without needing to negotiate individual contracts or handle complex transactions with each supplier.
The scope of B2B travel aggregators is mainly concentrated on the wholesale side of the travel business. They serve as intermediaries, supplying smaller travel agents or businesses with the necessary tools to access and sell travel services. By offering bulk rates and efficient booking platforms, B2B aggregators help reduce the operational costs and complexity that smaller travel agencies might otherwise face. This is especially valuable in an industry where maintaining relationships with multiple suppliers and negotiating individual deals can be resource intensive. In addition to making the booking process more efficient, B2B aggregators often provide added value through backend support, ensuring that agencies and corporate clients can manage bookings, payments, and customer service all through a single interface.
Examples of B2B travel aggregators include UHM.travel, a platform that connects travel agents to a wide range of global suppliers and services, enabling them to book at competitive rates. TBO.com specializes in API-based solutions, allowing travel agencies to integrate travel services directly into their systems, streamlining the booking process for agents and improving efficiency. Riya Travel, a long-established platform, caters specifically to travel agents, providing them access to bulk travel products and services across various markets.
The scope of B2B travel aggregators is expanding rapidly with the advancement of technology. These platforms can integrate AI and machine learning technologies, enabling smarter price prediction, dynamic pricing, and tailored offers that align with market demand. This allows businesses to offer more personalized services to their clients, while also optimizing their operational processes. Moreover, B2B aggregators are venturing into new regional markets, opening opportunities for agents in emerging regions to access a wider range of travel products. Additionally, these platforms are diversifying their services by offering vertical- specific solutions, such as corporate travel management or niche experiences like luxury, adventure, or eco- tourism, which can help differentiate their offerings in an increasingly competitive marketplace. By evolving in these ways, B2B aggregators are not only expanding their scope but also ensuring their continued relevance in a dynamic, technology-driven travel industry.
• Destination Management Companies (DMCs): Destination Management Companies (DMCs) are specialized service providers that focus on offering a comprehensive range of on-the-ground services in specific destinations. These services include local transportation, hotel accommodations, guided tours, excursions, and other localized experiences that travellers often seek when visiting a new destination. DMCs play a crucial role in the operational aspects of travel, ensuring that visitors enjoy a seamless and memorable 131 | Pageexperience during their stay. Their expertise lies in managing local logistics, such as organizing day-to-day activities, handling transportation, negotiating with local suppliers, and managing group travel for corporate incentives or large tourist groups. Essentially, DMCs provide tailored services that allow travel agencies, OTAs, and tour operators to offer highly personalized and customized travel experiences for their clients, without dealing with the complexities of local arrangements.
The scope of DMCs is primarily localized, as their services are geographically focused on specific regions or destinations. However, their impact is global due to the partnerships they establish with international travel agencies, OTAs, and B2B platforms. These collaborations enable DMCs to provide destination-specific solutions to travellers worldwide. By working with various stakeholders in the tourism supply chain, DMCs ensure that international agencies or OTAs can deliver rich, well-coordinated travel experiences to their customers. This is particularly important for complex travel arrangements, such as multi-destination tours or events that require local knowledge and coordination. Furthermore, DMCs also handle logistics for large groups and corporate incentive programs, making them a critical part of the global tourism ecosystem.
While the core services of DMCs are focused on destination-level operations, their partnerships and expertise help them cater to an international clientele, positioning them as an essential link between travellers and local destinations.
• Corporate Travel Managers / TMCs: Corporate Travel Managers, or Travel Management Companies
(TMCs), specialize in providing comprehensive corporate travel services that help businesses manage their travel requirements. These companies offer end-to-end solutions, which include booking travel, managing expenses, and ensuring compliance with corporate travel policies. TMCs focus on business travellers, offering tailored solutions that can include flight bookings, hotel accommodations, ground transportation, and detailed travel expense reports. This centralized service simplifies the process for businesses, especially large organizations that have multiple employees traveling frequently. Managing complex itineraries, ensuring compliance with corporate policies, and overseeing expenses manually can be cumbersome and inefficient, so TMCs streamline these processes, reducing costs and improving operational efficiency.
The scope of TMCs is global, serving multinational companies, government institutions, and large corporations with extensive travel needs. These organizations often require detailed travel expense reporting, consistent policy compliance, and streamlined processes to handle frequent business travel. TMCs help ensure that businesses adhere to their internal travel policies while providing cost-effective solutions for travellers.
Additionally, TMCs offer a combination of technology solutions, such as online booking tools and expense management platforms, alongside dedicated customer service, ensuring a smooth travel experience for both the traveller and the organization. TMCs are integral partners in managing corporate travel, ensuring that organizations’ travel needs are met efficiently and in compliance with internal guidelines.
• Traditional Travel Agents / Tour Operators: Traditional travel agents and tour operators, whether operating offline or in a hybrid format, specialize in offering curated travel packages that include both domestic and international tours. These agents provide personalized services, such as designing customized itineraries, booking flights and hotels, and arranging guided tours. Unlike online platforms, traditional travel agents offer a more personal, hands-on approach to travel planning. They assist clients throughout the entire process, from recommending destinations to managing bookings and providing on-the-ground support during travel. This personal touch makes them particularly appealing to travellers who value human interaction, expert guidance, and a tailored experience, offering comfort and convenience for those who prefer assurance in their travel arrangements.
The scope of traditional travel agents is generally local to regional, as they typically focus on specific geographic areas or target markets. These agents are well-established within their communities and have built strong relationships with their customers. They continue to hold a significant market share, especially among travellers who prefer personalized service over the DIY approach of online platforms. Traditional agents remain popular for organizing complex trips or providing specialized knowledge, especially for those seeking 132 | Pa ge` off-the-beaten-path experiences or destinations. The demand for customized itineraries and unique local experiences is still high, particularly for travellers who want in-depth expertise and assistance beyond what online platforms can provide. Despite the rise of digital alternatives, the demand for personalized service remains a stronghold for traditional agents and tour operators.
• Niche Service Providers: Niche service providers are specialized travel operators that focus on specific verticals within the broader travel industry, such as medical tourism, religious tourism, adventure travel, or experiential tourism. These providers offer highly tailored services to meet the needs of dedicated segments of travellers who seek specialized, non-mainstream experiences. Unlike larger travel organizations, which cater to broad markets, niche service providers focus on a specific traveller type or destination, providing expert knowledge and customized solutions. Whether catering to individuals seeking medical treatments abroad, organizing sacred pilgrimages, offering adrenaline-fueled adventures, or facilitating unique cultural encounters, these providers deliver experiences that are not typically available through mainstream travel options.
The scope of niche service providers is often focused on specific regions or market segments. For example, medical tourism providers may concentrate on areas known for affordable, high-quality healthcare services, while religious tour operators target particular religious communities or sacred sites. These providers often lack the global reach of larger agencies but carve out a strong niche by offering exceptional expertise and personalized services. Travelers who opt for niche services are typically seeking experiences that cater to specific interests or life goals, such as health, wellness, spiritual growth, or challenging adventures. As a result, niche providers are highly attractive to travellers who desire in-depth, personalized experiences that larger, mainstream travel companies cannot offer.
5. Market Dynamics
5.1 Key Growth Drivers India's travel and tourism sector is experiencing robust growth, propelled by a combination of demographic shifts, infrastructural advancements, and strategic government initiatives. Below is a detailed analysis of the key growth
drivers: • Expanding Working-Age Population and Rising Disposable Income India's demographic dividend, characterized by a burgeoning working-age population, is a significant catalyst for the tourism industry's expansion. The Ministry of Tourism's studies highlight that variables such as GDP growth, disposable income, and age demographics are pivotal in forecasting tourism trends. As disposable incomes rise, more individuals have the means to engage in travel, both domestically and internationally.
• Enhanced Transport and Logistics Infrastructure The government's commitment to improving transport infrastructure has markedly enhanced accessibility to various tourist destinations. Initiatives like the Swadesh Darshan Scheme have led to the development of tourist circuits, particularly in the Northeast, such as the Bhalukpong-Bomdila-Tawang circuit in Arunachal Pradesh. These projects encompass the construction of roads, accommodations, and other essential amenities, facilitating smoother travel experiences.
• Increased Government Spending on Tourism Awareness and Facilitation Recognizing tourism's potential as an economic driver, the Union Budget 2025–26 allocated ₹2,541.06 crore to the Ministry of Tourism. This funding aims to enhance infrastructure, develop top tourist destinations, and promote skill development within the sector. Programs like 'Dekho Apna Desh' and 'PRASHAD' further underscore the government's commitment to promoting domestic tourism and rejuvenating pilgrimage sites.
133 | Page• Demand for Experiential, Spiritual, and Eco-Friendly Travel Modern travellers are increasingly seeking authentic and sustainable experiences. The Ministry of Tourism's 'Travel for LiFE' initiative, under Mission LiFE, encourages sustainable tourism practices, promoting eco- friendly travel options and responsible behaviour among tourists. Additionally, the 'PRASHAD' scheme focuses on developing spiritual destinations, catering to the growing interest in religious tourism.
• Shift Toward Weekend and Short-Haul Getaways Urbanization and improved connectivity have led to a surge in short-haul and weekend travel. The Ministry of Tourism's data indicates a significant increase in domestic tourist visits, with many opting for brief trips to nearby destinations. This trend is further supported by the development of tourist circuits and improved infrastructure, making short trips more feasible and attractive.
• Global Exposure via Social Media, Influencers, and Brand Campaigns The government's strategic use of digital platforms has amplified India's presence in the global tourism market. Campaigns like 'Incredible India 2.0' leverage social media and influencer partnerships to showcase India's diverse attractions. The Ministry of Tourism has also initiated programs to engage with digital audiences, recognizing the influence of online platforms in shaping travel decisions.
In conclusion, India's tourism industry's growth is underpinned by a confluence of favourable demographics, infrastructural enhancements, proactive government policies, and evolving traveller preferences. Continued focus on sustainable practices, digital engagement, and infrastructure development will be pivotal in sustaining this upward trajectory.
5.2 Challenges India's tourism sector, while experiencing significant growth, faces several challenges that impede its sustainable development. These challenges, identified through various government reports and initiatives, include infrastructural deficits, environmental concerns, workforce skill gaps, public hygiene issues, and economic factors affecting travel patterns.
• Infrastructure Gaps in Tier-II/III Cities and Offbeat Circuits Many Tier-II and Tier-III cities, along with emerging tourist destinations, lack adequate infrastructure to support tourism. The Swadesh Darshan 2.0 scheme acknowledges these gaps and emphasizes the need for comprehensive development plans, including benchmarking and gap analysis concerning tourism infrastructure, connectivity, and skill development.
• Environmental Degradation and Over-Tourism in Sensitive Areas The rapid growth of tourism in ecologically sensitive regions has led to environmental degradation. The National Strategy for Sustainable Tourism highlights the need for monitoring and responding to socio- economic, cultural, and environmental impacts arising from tourism. Additionally, the Ministry of Tourism has initiated measures to promote sustainable tourism in ecologically sensitive areas and national parks.
• Seasonality and Uneven Tourist Footfall Across Regions Tourism in India is often seasonal, leading to uneven distribution of tourist footfall across different regions and times of the year. The Ministry of Tourism's report on factors responsible for the slowdown of tourist arrivals notes that seasonality affects the consistent flow of tourists, impacting the economic stability of tourism-dependent regions.
134 | Pa ge` • Skill Shortage in Tourism and Hospitality Workforce A significant challenge in the tourism sector is the shortage of skilled workforce. The "Study on Employment Level and Skill Gap Analysis in Hospitality and Allied Sectors" identifies gaps in various roles, including front office, housekeeping, and food & beverage services. The report emphasizes the need for targeted training programs to bridge these skill gaps and enhance service quality.
• Public Hygiene and Safety Issues in Some Destinations Public hygiene and safety are critical concerns in several tourist destinations. The Ministry of Tourism, under the Swachhta Action Plan, collaborates with state governments to undertake cleanliness drives and awareness programs. These initiatives aim to improve sanitation facilities and promote hygienic practices among tourists and local communities.
• Currency Volatility Impacting Outbound Travel Fluctuations in currency exchange rates can influence outbound travel from India. While specific government reports on this issue are limited, economic factors such as currency volatility can affect the affordability of international travel for Indian tourists, thereby impacting outbound tourism trends.
Addressing these challenges requires a multi-faceted approach involving infrastructure development, environmental conservation, skill enhancement, public health initiatives, and economic stability measures. The government's ongoing efforts, as outlined in various strategic documents and reports, aim to create a more resilient and sustainable tourism sector in India.

9. Competitive Landscape The Indian tour and travel industry, particularly the B2B travel management segment, is characterized by a diverse mix of established players and emerging technology-driven companies. The competitive environment is shaped by factors such as scale of operations, technological capabilities, geographic reach, service portfolio, and customer relationships. While legacy consolidators maintain significant market presence through extensive offline networks, newer digital-first platforms are rapidly gaining ground by offering real-time inventory access, automated booking processes, and enhanced user experience. This dynamic competitive landscape is marked by increasing consolidation, strategic partnerships, and innovation, which collectively drive industry growth and shape market positioning.
9.1 Key Factors Shaping the Industry
1. Technology and Digital Capabilities: The adoption of advanced technology platforms, including API integrations, AI-based pricing, mobile apps, and automated workflows, is a critical differentiator. Companies with scalable, user-friendly, and integrated booking systems can serve a larger agent network efficiently, offer real-time inventory, and reduce booking errors, thereby gaining a competitive edge.
2. Breadth and Depth of Inventory: Access to a wide range of travel products — including flights, hotels, transfers, insurance, and ancillary services — at competitive prices is a key competitive factor. Players that establish strong relationships with global and domestic suppliers, including airlines and hotel chains, can offer superior value propositions to travel agents and corporate clients.
3. Market Reach and Distribution Network: The size and geographic spread of the agent network play a crucial role in market penetration. Companies with extensive reach into Tier II and Tier III cities, as well as international markets, are better positioned to capitalize on growing travel demand across segments.
4. Pricing and Margin Management: Competitive pricing strategies, including dynamic pricing models and flexible commission structures, impact market share gains. Maintaining healthy margins while offering attractive pricing to agents and clients is a complex balance that shapes competitive positioning.

5. Brand Reputation and Trust: Long-standing relationships, reliability in service delivery, and consistent support build brand trust among travel agents and corporate clients. Reputation significantly influences customer retention and referral business in this fragmented industry.
6. Customer Service and Support Infrastructure: Robust customer support, including multi-lingual call centers, grievance redressal mechanisms, and efficient ticketing assistance, differentiates players in the B2B space where agent satisfaction directly affects repeat business.
7. Regulatory Compliance and Risk Management: Adherence to regulatory requirements related to licensing, taxation (including GST and TCS), data privacy, and foreign exchange controls affects operational continuity and competitive advantage. Companies with strong compliance frameworks can avoid disruptions and build investor confidence.
8. Strategic Partnerships and Alliances: Collaborations with banks, payment gateways, technology providers, and global travel suppliers enable companies to enhance service offerings, streamline transactions, and expand market presence.
9. Innovation and Product Diversification: Companies innovating with value-added services such as white- label solutions, customized itinerary planning, bundled packages, and post-booking services can capture niche segments and improve client stickiness.
10. Financial Strength and Scalability: Access to capital for technology investments, marketing, and acquisitions enables faster scaling and competitive positioning, especially against smaller regional players.
9.2 Competitive Strategies In the Indian B2B travel management industry, players adopt a variety of competitive strategies to strengthen their market presence, improve operational efficiency, and expand their client base. These strategies are driven by the need to differentiate offerings in a fragmented market while addressing evolving travel preferences, agent needs, and corporate requirements. Key competitive strategies employed by leading players include:
1. Technology-Led Differentiation: Players are increasingly investing in scalable and API-driven platforms that offer real-time inventory, automated booking, pricing intelligence, and white-label solutions to empower travel agents. Companies such as TBO Tek and Trip Jack have built proprietary technology ecosystems that streamline multi-product bookings, enhance user experience, and support self-service functionalities for agents and sub- agents.
2. Expanding Agent Network and Tier II/III Penetration: To widen distribution and tap into underpenetrated travel markets, companies are aggressively onboarding travel agents from Tier II and Tier III cities. This includes offering vernacular interfaces, flexible credit terms, and dedicated relationship managers. Regional outreach is supported through offline franchise models, partner meets, and hybrid onboarding programs to drive volume growth.
3. Diversification of Product Offerings: B2B travel players are moving beyond core air and hotel bookings by offering integrated travel solutions such as visa assistance, forex, transfers, cruises, insurance, and curated travel packages. This diversified portfolio helps improve wallet share per transaction and reduces dependency on single revenue streams, especially in volatile airfare markets.
4. Strategic Global Expansion: Larger players are scaling operations beyond India to tap demand from international travel agents and consolidate supplier relationships. For instance, TBO Tek has established a presence in over 100 countries through subsidiaries and partnerships, enabling it to aggregate global inventory and offer competitive pricing to Indian agents.
5. Focus on Cost Optimization and Margin Control: Companies are implementing cost-control mechanisms by automating backend operations, optimizing call centre efficiency, and minimizing manual intervention. This 143 | Pageenables them to offer competitive commission structures to agents while protecting margins in a price-sensitive environment.
6. M&A and Strategic Investments: The industry has seen consolidation through acquisitions and strategic stakes in emerging platforms and service providers. Some Players have acquired hospitality tech firms and regional players to expand their service offerings and improve supply-side access. Such inorganic growth strategies accelerate market capture and enhance platform capabilities.
7. Customization and White-Label Solutions: Providing agents with white-label platforms allows them to serve end-customers under their own brand while leveraging the aggregator’s infrastructure. This strategy enhances agent loyalty and enables platform-driven scalability without direct end-customer acquisition costs.
8. Strengthening Corporate Travel and MICE Capabilities: Some players are focusing on structured corporate travel management services, including policy compliance, central billing, expense management, and MICE planning. This B2B vertical expansion into managed travel solutions offers higher margins and long-term client retention.
9. Data-Driven Decision Making: Leading platforms use analytics to monitor demand trends, optimize pricing, personalize offerings, and improve operational forecasting. Data intelligence enables agile responses to market fluctuations and enhances service personalization for both agents and corporate clients.
10. Loyalty and Reward Programs: Several platforms offer loyalty programs for high-performing agents, including cashback incentives, credit limits, volume-based rewards, and priority support. These programs build agent stickiness and promote higher transaction volumes.
The competitive strategies in the Indian B2B travel management industry reflect a strong emphasis on technology, distribution reach, product diversity, and ecosystem partnerships. Players that successfully execute multi-pronged strategies with operational scalability and customer-centric models are best positioned to capture future growth and defend market share.
9.3 Barriers to Entry While the Indian tour and travel industry appears fragmented and accessible at the surface, the B2B travel management segment presents multiple entry barriers that limit the ability of new entrants to scale and compete effectively with established players. These barriers stem from the operational complexity, technology intensity, and trust-based nature of the B2B business model. The key barriers to entry are as follows:
1. High Initial Technology Investment: Setting up a scalable and efficient B2B travel platform requires significant capital investment in technology infrastructure. This includes API integrations with global suppliers, booking engines, inventory management systems, payment gateways, and CRM tools. Entrants without proprietary technology or strong IT partnerships face limitations in product delivery and customer experience.
2. Established Supplier Relationships: Incumbent players often have long-standing, negotiated agreements with airlines, hotel chains, consolidators, and third-party travel service providers. These relationships allow access to competitive pricing, real-time availability, and exclusive inventory. New entrants may struggle to obtain similar commercial terms, limiting their ability to offer value-added deals to agents and clients.
3. Strong Distribution and Agent Loyalty: Major B2B travel platforms have extensive networks of registered travel agents across India and internationally. These networks are often retained through loyalty programs, credit support, training, and white-label offerings. It is challenging for new players to replicate this reach or displace established relationships without offering significant incentives or value differentiation.
4. Credit Management and Working Capital Requirements: B2B travel operations require providing flexible credit terms to sub-agents and handling large volumes of pre-paid bookings. Effective credit risk management, fraud controls, and strong liquidity positions are essential to sustain operations. Startups with limited balance sheets often find it difficult to operate without substantial working capital buffers.
144 | Pa ge`
5. Brand Trust and Service Reliability: Reputation and reliability play a crucial role in the travel ecosystem, especially for business-critical or time-sensitive bookings. Legacy players benefit from years of trust, consistent service quality, and reliable grievance redressal mechanisms. New entrants face skepticism and must demonstrate proven track records before gaining significant business traction.
6. Regulatory and Compliance Complexity: Operating in the B2B travel space entails compliance with multiple regulations, including GST, TCS (Tax Collected at Source), RBI guidelines on forex transactions, and travel license requirements. Maintaining compliance across jurisdictions requires a strong legal and accounting setup, which can be resource-intensive for new market entrants.
7. Low Margins and High-Volume Dependence: The B2B travel segment operates on thin margins, with profitability hinging on high transaction volumes and efficient cost structures. New entrants may struggle to reach scale quickly enough to sustain operations or achieve breakeven in the face of price wars and commission pressure from agents.
8. Consolidation and Competitive Saturation: With large players such as TBO Tek, Riya Travel consolidating their positions through acquisitions and partnerships, the market is becoming more concentrated. This creates additional pressure on new entrants to offer disruptive models or niche value propositions to gain a foothold.
Although the Indian B2B travel management segment offers substantial long-term growth opportunities, new entrants face considerable structural and operational barriers. Successful entry requires a combination of capital adequacy, technological innovation, supplier access, and deep market understanding to compete effectively with established incumbents.
9.4 Consolidation Trend in the Industry The Indian B2B travel management industry has witnessed a marked trend of consolidation over the past few years, driven by the need to achieve scale, improve operational efficiency, expand service offerings, and access technology or market-specific synergies. This trend has reshaped the competitive dynamics by enabling larger players to broaden their distribution networks, strengthen supplier relationships, and optimize cost structures— ultimately improving their ability to withstand pricing pressure in a low-margin, volume-driven industry.
Key Drivers of Consolidation
1. Platform Synergies and Tech Integration: Larger companies are acquiring smaller technology firms and regional B2B platforms to integrate inventory systems, enhance automation, and upgrade agent interfaces.
This provides operational leverage and accelerates innovation cycles.
2. Market Expansion and Access to Agent Networks: Acquisitions are enabling players to expand into Tier II and Tier III markets and gain access to established regional travel agent networks without incurring high customer acquisition costs.
3. Cost Rationalization and Margin Protection: Consolidation helps streamline backend operations such as booking management, customer service, and financial reconciliation. This is critical in an industry characterized by razor-thin margins and high fixed costs.
4. Product Portfolio Diversification: Companies are acquiring or merging with platforms offering complementary services like hotel booking engines, forex solutions, or visa processing—thus enabling bundled B2B travel solutions and higher wallet share per agent.
Notable Examples of Consolidation • TBO Tek, a leading B2B travel aggregator, has made strategic global acquisitions and JVs, including expansion in the Middle East and Africa. Its acquisitions focus on increasing access to niche travel products and local suppliers.
• Riya Travel has strengthened its B2B segment by acquiring or collaborating with regional consolidators and integrating back-end infrastructure to improve agent servicing capabilities.
145 | Page• Akbar Travels has invested in scaling its online B2B travel portal AkbarOnline, integrating smaller DMCs (Destination Management Companies) and OTA partnerships to enhance product diversity and geographic coverage.
Emerging Consolidation Patterns • Vertical Integration: Players are increasingly integrating with hotel chains, ground transport providers, and insurance firms to deliver a seamless travel ecosystem for agents and clients.
• Investment in Niche and Tech-Enabled Startups: Larger B2B platforms are investing in or acquiring niche startups offering AI-driven itinerary building, SaaS for travel agents, or analytics platforms.
• Cross-Border M&A: Indian B2B travel firms are expanding globally via strategic investments or acquisitions to tap foreign agent demand and diversify revenue streams.
The ongoing consolidation in the Indian B2B travel management industry reflects a broader shift toward scale- driven competitiveness and platform unification. As larger players continue to absorb regional operators and tech enablers, the industry is gradually transitioning toward a more structured and professionally managed ecosystem.
Consolidation is expected to intensify over the next few years, with mid-sized players likely becoming acquisition targets or strategic partners for dominant platforms seeking to solidify market leadership.
9.5 Key Industry Players (Mid-Sized Players) The Indian B2B tourism and travel aggregation segment has witnessed significant evolution over the past decade, increasingly propelled by technology-enabled platforms that consolidate global travel inventories—ranging from hotel bookings to ground transportation and curated sightseeing services—within a single, unified interface. These platforms primarily serve travel agents, tour operators, corporate travel managers, and destination management companies (DMCs), enabling access to real-time availability, dynamic pricing, white-label portals, and robust API integrations that support end-to-end automation.
The segment is marked by intense competition among legacy travel houses and digitally agile aggregators that offer scalable and cost-efficient solutions. A few key players in this space are highlighted below:
1. International Travel House Limited (ITH) Established in 1981 and promoted by ITC Limited, International Travel House is among India’s most reputed corporate travel management companies. ITH operates across 15+ cities in India and offers end-to-end services including air travel, car rentals, hotel reservations, visa facilitation, MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions), and travel insurance. ITH's strong B2B presence is backed by high-quality service standards, a pan- India footprint, and strategic affiliations with global travel networks.
2. Trade-wings Limited Founded in 1949, Trade-wings Limited is among India’s earliest organized travel agencies, with a strong legacy in leisure, corporate, and group travel services. Its B2B portfolio includes services such as inbound and outbound tour packages, hotel bookings, forex, visa services, charter services, and conference management. Through its extensive office network and tech-integrated portal offerings, Trade-wings caters to travel agents and corporate clients across multiple cities. The company also offers customized white-label platforms and destination-specific products, contributing to its position as a versatile B2B service provider.
9.6 Company Positioning – Helloji Holidays Limited Helloji Holidays Limited is a professionally managed travel services provider, strategically positioned as a corporate-first, full-spectrum travel partner with a growing national footprint. Founded in 2012, the company has built a stronghold in the B2B and enterprise travel space, deriving the majority of its revenue from managing business travel, institutional clients, and customized MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, Exhibitions) programs. With its registered office in New Delhi, Helloji has steadily scaled its capabilities across India.
146 | Pa ge` Operating through a hybrid model that blends personalized offline expertise with digital service enablement via Helloji.com, the company delivers end-to-end travel solutions—including domestic and international flight bookings, hotel and resort accommodations, cruises, luxury car rentals, travel insurance, visa facilitation, and post-sales support. While B2C leisure travel remains part of its service mix, Helloji's core business is enterprise- driven, with a deep focus on high-touch account management, compliance-driven itineraries, and real-time travel support.
A key competitive advantage lies in Helloji’s ability to manage complex, multi-location corporate travel through centralized coordination, a trained professional workforce, and longstanding relationships with top-tier suppliers.
The company operates with 24/7 customer service infrastructure, enabling rapid response to itinerary changes, emergency bookings, and global travel disruptions—an essential capability for its business clientele.
Helloji is now investing in scalable B2B infrastructure, aiming to broaden its agent network, improve operational automation, and deepen its foothold in high-growth corridors such as the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Europe.
It is also building capabilities around digital travel lifecycle management to enhance client visibility, reporting, and travel policy enforcement—key needs of large corporate accounts.
Distinct from pure OTAs or aggregators, Helloji combines relationship-led service delivery with increasing process digitization, which allows it to maintain high client retention while scaling. The company's reputation for reliability, customization, and cost-efficiency has made it a preferred partner for companies seeking travel solutions that go beyond booking—to include consultation, optimization, and continuity of service.
With strong leadership, a loyal institutional customer base, and an agile operating model, Helloji Holidays Limited is well-positioned to capitalize on the resurgence of corporate travel, demand for integrated MICE services, and the rising need for end-to-end managed travel solutions in India’s growing service economy.
9.7 Outlook on Competitive Dynamics The competitive landscape of the Indian tourism industry is evolving rapidly, driven by post-pandemic consumer shifts, digital adoption, and changing travel aspirations. The following trends highlight how competition is
intensifying and diversifying: • Increased Focus on Tier-II/III City Penetration by Major Players: With metro markets reaching maturity, leading OTAs, hotel chains, and transport aggregators are aggressively expanding into smaller towns. These regions are witnessing rising disposable incomes, digital adoption, and aspirational travel demand.
Companies like OYO, and IRCTC are customizing offerings to cater to regional preferences, vernacular content, and local payment methods. • Niche Travel (Wellness, Rural, Culinary) Gaining Traction with Curated Offerings: Consumer preferences are shifting toward meaningful and immersive travel experiences. Wellness retreats, agro- tourism, culinary trails, and spiritual journeys are increasingly sought after, especially by urban millennials and international tourists. Startups and boutique operators are capturing this demand with curated itineraries and local partnerships, often promoted via social media and experiential storytelling.
• Growth of B2B2C Platforms Serving Travel Agents and Small Tour Operators:
Platforms like TBO.com and Travel Boutique Online are empowering thousands of offline agents and small travel businesses with real-time inventory, digital tools, and booking engines. This “B2B2C” model bridges the gap between digital travel ecosystems and local operators, enhancing customer reach and operational efficiency without direct-to-consumer branding.
• Emerging D2C Brands Building Trust Through Influencer Marketing and Immersive Content: Direct- to-consumer (D2C) travel brands are leveraging social media, travel blogs, YouTube, and Instagram Reels to build authentic, trust-driven relationships with their audience. Influencer-led campaigns, user-generated content, and behind-the-scenes storytelling help brands create emotional resonance and convert inspiration into bookings. This strategy is particularly effective among Gen Z and millennial travellers.
These dynamics suggest a more fragmented yet opportunity-rich market ahead, with digital-first models, localised outreach, and experiential differentiation driving the next phase of competition.

solutions.
Operating at the intersection of corporate mobility and B2B travel management, this company is positioned as a full-stack travel partner offering integrated services spanning flights, hotels, car rentals, cruises, MICE, visa facilitation, and insurance. With over a decade of operational continuity, its core strength lies in high-touch client servicing, strategic supplier relationships, and a model focused on enterprises rather than discretionary retail travellers.
Its positioning is reinforced by long-standing partnerships across airlines, hospitality chains, and cruise operators—enabling cost-efficient, customizable travel solutions for large institutional clients. However, its public-facing digital interface remains functionally utilitarian rather than tech-disruptive, with backend automation and AI-based personalization lagging online travel aggregators. Brand visibility in the B2C space is limited, and service scalability remains contingent on reducing offline dependency and expanding regional footprint beyond metro-centric strongholds.
Nonetheless, the resurgence in business travel, evolving SaaS opportunities in expense and approval workflows, and demand from outbound Indian corporates provide strong tailwinds. Targeted digitization, cross-platform collaborations, and geographic expansion could enable the company to convert its operational strengths into scalable, tech-enabled value creation—particularly in an environment where corporate travel ecosystems are consolidating around reliable, agile, and integrated service providers.
10. Future Outlook India's tourism industry is poised for sustained expansion, driven by proactive policy support, infrastructure upgrades, and a steady shift in traveller behaviour toward experiential and sustainable tourism. As both domestic and international travel rebounds, the sector is set to play an increasingly vital role in India's economic growth and global positioning. The coming years are expected to witness increased private investment, deeper digital integration, and diversified tourism offerings that align with global trends and national priorities. The following key trends and projections underscore the sector’s long-term potential:
149 | Page• Projected Growth Trajectory (CY 2024–2030): The Ministry of Tourism projects that India's tourism industry will grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 6.5% to 7.2% through CY 2030. This optimistic outlook is supported by a significant recovery in Foreign Tourist Arrivals (FTAs), which reached approximately 9.66 million in CY 2024, marking a 1.4% increase compared to the previous year.
Correspondingly, Foreign Exchange Earnings (FEEs) from tourism surged to ₹2,77,842 crore (approximately USD 33.19 billion), reflecting a 19.8% growth over the previous year. • Outbound Travel Expansion: Outbound travel is also on an upward trajectory, with Indian nationals' departures (INDs) reaching approximately 30.23 million in CY 2024, an 8.44% increase from CY 2023. This trend indicates a growing middle class with increasing disposable incomes and a desire for international travel experiences.
• Strategic Investments and Initiatives: To further bolster the tourism sector, the Ministry of Tourism has revamped the Swadesh Darshan scheme into Swadesh Darshan 2.0, focusing on developing sustainable and responsible tourism destinations. This initiative aims to enhance visitor experiences through thematic circuits such as spiritual, heritage, and eco-tourism.
Additionally, the government has sanctioned 167 rural tourism projects, emphasizing community participation and sustainable practices to promote rural economies and cultural heritage. • Global Positioning: India's global recognition in tourism is strengthening, with the country ranking 39th in the Travel & Tourism Development Index (TTDI) 2024 by the World Economic Forum. This improvement reflects the nation's commitment to enhancing its tourism infrastructure and services.
With these concerted efforts, by the government, coupled with favourable economic indicators, suggest a promising future for India's tourism industry, positioning it as a significant contributor to the nation's economy and a key player in the global tourism landscape. India is on track to emerge as a Top 10 global tourism economy in the coming decade.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY LAWS Information Technology Act, 2000 (“IT Act”) The IT Act of India serves as the primary legal framework for electronic transactions and cyber activities. It grants legal validity to digital interactions through provisions for authenticating electronic documents via digital signatures. The IT Act also establishes both civil and criminal liabilities, including penalties and imprisonment, for various cybercrimes such as unauthorized access to computer systems, illicit disclosure of confidential data, and online fraud. A significant 2008 amendment reinforced the legal enforceability of contracts formed electronically. Additionally, the IT Act imposes accountability for negligence in safeguarding sensitive personal data, while simultaneously offering legal protection to intermediaries (like internet service providers or social media platforms) for third-party content they host or transmit.
Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021 On February 25, 2021, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology of the Government of India introduced the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021, which superseded the 2011 guidelines. These new Rules establish regulations for various types of online platforms, including general intermediaries, social media intermediaries, and significant social media intermediaries.
The Rules mandate specific due diligence obligations for all such entities. These obligations include the requirement to publicly display their rules and regulations, privacy policy, and user agreement. These documents must explicitly instruct users not to engage in activities such as posting unlawful, defamatory, or obscene content, or information that impersonates another person. Intermediaries are also required to implement reasonable security practices and procedures as per the relevant security rules.
Furthermore, these platforms must set up a grievance redressal mechanism and make the contact details of their grievance officer publicly available. Non-compliance with these Rules can lead to penalties under applicable laws, including the IT Act and the Indian Penal Code, 1860. The Rules also prohibit intermediaries from knowingly hosting, publishing, transmitting, selecting, or modifying any prohibited electronic information, and obligate them to disable access to such content once they become aware of its presence.
169 | PageInformation Technology (Reasonable Security Practices and Procedures and Sensitive Personal Data or Information) Rules, 2011 (“Reasonable Security Practices Rules”) In accordance with the Reasonable Security Practices Rules, certain classes of body corporates are required to have security practices and standards in place in respect of personal information, including sensitive personal data or information. Additionally, such body corporates are required to maintain a comprehensive documented information security programme and information security policies containing managerial, technical, operational and physical security control measures commensurate with the information assets being protected with the nature of business. In the alternative, Reasonable Security Practices Rules are deemed to be complied with if the requirements of the international standard ISO/IEC 27001:2022 on “Information Technology – Security Techniques – Information Security Management System – Requirements” are complied with including any codes of best practices for data protection of sensitive personal data or information approved by the Government of India and formulated by any industry association of whose membership such body corporates holds.
Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act) The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act), which received the assent of the President of India on August 11, 2023, establishes India's comprehensive framework for safeguarding digital personal data. This legislation aims to balance the individual's right to protect their personal data with the necessity of processing such data for lawful purposes. The Act applies to the processing of digital personal data within India, whether collected online or digitized after offline collection, and also extends to processing outside India if it involves offering goods or services to individuals within the country. It mandates that personal data can only be processed for a lawful purpose with the explicit, free, specific, informed, unconditional, and unambiguous consent of the individual (Data Principal), obtained through a clear affirmative action, while also outlining certain "legitimate uses" where consent is not strictly required. The DPDP Act confers various rights upon Data Principals, including the right to access information about their data, seek correction and erasure, and pursue grievance redressal. It imposes significant obligations on Data Fiduciaries (entities determining data processing purposes and means), such as ensuring data accuracy, implementing security safeguards to prevent breaches, and notifying affected Data Principals and the Data Protection Board of India in case of a data breach. The Act also provides for the establishment of a Data Protection Board of India to adjudicate on non-compliance and imposes substantial financial penalties for violations.
The General Data Protection Regulation, 2018 The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), adopted by the European Parliament in April 2016 and effective from May 25, 2018, is a pivotal piece of legislation designed to safeguard the personal data and privacy of European Union (EU) citizens. It applies to data transactions within EU member states and also governs the transfer of personal data outside the EU. Consequently, any entity that processes the personal data of EU citizens or residents, or offers goods or services to them, falls under its scope. The GDPR mandates adherence to seven core data processing principles, including lawfulness, accuracy, data minimization, and accountability. It also specifies the lawful bases for data processing, emphasizing stringent consent requirements from data subjects.
Furthermore, the Regulation grants individuals enhanced privacy rights, empowering them with greater control over the personal information they share with organizations.
INDUSTRY SPECIFIC REGULATIONS Ministry of Tourism, Government of India (“Ministry of Tourism”) The Indian tourism sector is primarily regulated by the Ministry of Tourism and its associated departments. This Ministry has established recognition/renewal guidelines for inbound tour operators (with a revised guideline introduced on December 8, 2020), outlining prerequisites such as minimum capital, operational history, office infrastructure, and qualified staff for approved travel agencies in India.

Considering the time required for making necessary changes to the systems and to ensure complete and smooth transition to the UPI payment Mechanism, the SEBI
UPI Circular have introduced the UPI Mechanism in three phases in the following manner: • Phase I: This phase was applicable from January 01, 2019 until March 31, 2019 or floating of five main board public issues, whichever was later. Subsequently, the timeline for implementation of Phase I was extended till June 30, 2019.

298 | PageRESTRICTIONS ON FOREIGN OWNERSHIP OF INDIAN SECURITIES Foreign investment in Indian securities is regulated through the Industrial Policy, 1991 of the Government of India and FEMA. While the Industrial Policy, 1991 prescribes the limits and the conditions subject to which foreign investment can be made in different sectors of the Indian economy, FEMA regulates the precise manner in which such investment may be made. Under the Industrial Policy, unless specifically restricted, foreign investment is freely permitted in all sectors of Indian economy up to any extent and without any prior approvals, but the foreign investor is required to follow certain prescribed procedures for making such investment. Foreign investment is allowed up to 100% under automatic route in our Company.
The RBI and the concerned ministries/ departments are responsible for granting approval for foreign investment.
The Government has from time to time made policy pronouncements on foreign direct investment (“FDI”) through press notes and press releases. The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India (earlier known as the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion) (“DPIIT”), issued the FDI Policy, which, with effect from October 15, 2020 consolidated, subsumed and superseded all previous press notes, press releases and clarifications on FDI issued by the DPIIT that were in force and effect prior to October 15, 2020. The FDI Policy will be valid and remain in force until superseded in totality or in part thereof. The transfer of shares between an Indian resident and a non-resident does not require the prior approval of the RBI, provided that (i) the activities of the investee company are under the automatic route under the FDI policy and transfer does not attract the provisions of the Takeover Regulations; (ii) the non- resident shareholding is within the sectoral limits under the FDI policy; and (iii) the pricing is in accordance with the guidelines prescribed by the SEBI/RBI.
Under the current FDI Policy and the FEMA Non-Debt Rules, foreign direct investment is not permitted in companies engaged in (a) multi-brand retail trading, undertaking retail trading by means of e-commerce, and (b) inventory-based model of e-commerce. In accordance with the FEMA Non-debt Rules, participation by non- residents in the Issue is restricted to participation by (i) FPIs under Schedule II of the FEMA Non-debt Rules, subject to limit of the individual holding of an FPI below 10% of the post-Issue paid-up capital of our Company and the aggregate limit for FPI investment currently not exceeding the sectoral cap i.e. 51% of the post issue paid up share capital; and (ii) Eligible NRIs applying only on a non-repatriation basis under Schedule IV of the FEMA Non-debt Rules.

As per the existing policy of the Government of India, OCBs cannot participate in this issue. For details, please refer to the chapter titled “Issue Procedure” beginning on page 261.
The Government has from time to time made policy pronouncements on FDI through press notes and press releases. The Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India (DIPP), issued consolidates FDI Policy, which with effect from August 28, 2017 consolidates and supersedes all previous press notes, press releases and clarifications on FDI issued by the DIPP that were in force and effect as on August 27, 2017. The Government proposes to update the consolidated circular on FDI Policy once every year and therefore, the Consolidation FDI Policy will be valid until the DIPP issues an updated circular.
The transfer of shares by an Indian resident to a Non-Resident does not require the prior approval of the FIPB or the RBI, provided that (i) the activities of the investee company are under the automatic route under the Consolidated FDI Policy and transfer does not attract the provisions of the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011; (ii) the non-resident shareholding is within the sectoral limits under the Consolidated FDI Policy; and (iii) the pricing is in accordance with the guidelines prescribed by SEBI/RBI.
The foreign investment in our Company is governed by, inter-alia, the FEMA, the FEMA Non-debt Rules, the FDI Policy issued and amended by way of press notes.
299 | PageFurther, in terms of the FEMA Non-debt Rules, the aggregate FPI investment limit is the sectoral cap applicable to Indian company as prescribed in the FEMA Non-Debt Instruments Rules with respect to its paid-up equity capital on a fully diluted basis. For details, please refer to the chapter titled “Issue Procedure” beginning on page
261.
Further, in accordance with the FDI Policy, the Press Note No. 3 (2020 Series), dated April 17, 2020 issued by the DPIIT and the FEMA Non-debt Rules, any investment, subscription, purchase or sale of equity instruments by entities of a country which shares land border with India or where the beneficial owner of an investment into India is situated in or is a citizen of any such country (“Restricted Investors”), will require prior approval of the Government, as prescribed in the FDI Policy and the FEMA Non-debt Rules. Further, in the event of transfer of ownership of any existing or future foreign direct investment in an entity in India, directly or indirectly, resulting in the beneficial ownership falling within the aforesaid restriction/ purview, such subsequent change in the beneficial ownership will also require approval of the Government. Furthermore, on April 22, 2020, the Ministry of Finance, Government of India has also made a similar amendment to the FEMA Non-Debt Rules. Each Bidder should seek independent legal advice about its ability to participate in the Issue. In the event such prior approval of the Government of India is required, and such approval has been obtained, the Bidder shall intimate our Company and the Registrar in writing about such approval along with a copy thereof within the Bid/ Issue Period.
