Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good profit margin for Indian hotels?
Budget hotels typically see 15–25% net margin, mid-scale 25–35%, and upscale properties 30–45%. Margins vary by city — Goa and hill stations can run higher during peak season. See our
RevPAR guide for benchmarks by category.
How do I increase hotel revenue without raising room rates?
Improve occupancy via better OTA visibility and
direct bookings, add ancillary revenue (F&B, laundry, airport transfers), and reduce OTA dependency with a
booking engine. Even a 5% occupancy gain at the same ADR can meaningfully improve net profit.
What percentage of hotel revenue goes to OTA commissions?
If 60–70% of bookings come through OTAs at 15–20% commission, you lose 9–14% of total room revenue to commissions. Use our
OTA Commission Calculator to see the exact rupee impact.
What are typical hotel operating expenses in India?
Staff costs: 25–35% of revenue. OTA commissions: 10–15% of revenue. Utilities: 8–12%. Maintenance & supplies: 5–8%. These vary significantly by property type and location.
