Suba Hotels is strategically positioned at the intersection of these trends, with a portfolio concentrated in high-demand micro-markets across business hubs, pilgrimage circuits, industrial clusters, and emerging leisure destinations. Our location-led strategy, with hotels positioned near airports, SEZs, highways, and key urban nodes, provides strong year-round occupancy visibility and reduces seasonality risk. This, combined with our diversified customer mix across corporate, leisure, MICE, weddings, and religious travel, enables stable cash flows and pricing resilience across cycles. Adding further, Mr. Mubeen Mehta, CEO, Suba Hotels Limited, stated: "In parallel, we have initiated our international expansion with the successful establishment of operations in Dubai, leveraging the Click Hotels brand in a high-demand, India-linked travel market. This marks an important step in building an asset-light international platform, with a disciplined approach to evaluating further opportunities across the GCC region. By combining domestic expansion in underpenetrated markets with selective international growth, supported by asset-light models, advanced revenue management, and strengthening direct and corporate channels, we are confident in our ability to scale sustainably, enhance returns on capital, and create long-term value for our investors."
