Subject: Case Study – Hotel Feasibility Advisory of Proposed Luxury Hotel in Hyderabad
for Dandamudi Estate

Case Study Period: 2012

A OVERVIEW

1 Project Overview

The Indian Hotel industry was in a state of paradox as Tier I cities were bordering the danger of being
over supplied with hotel rooms even as Tier II & III cities were grappling with the supply demand
imbalance. Amidst such an environment, cities like Hyderabad still had certain areas which had the
potential to grow owing to a surge of industries establishing their businesses. The larger problem
though, was to operate and efficiently manage a large inventoried hotel within the luxury upscale
space coupled with a nouvelle concept of branded residences. This study examined some of the key
elements of the feasibility study while revealing the decision to pursue the luxury hotel segment and
branded residences as the optimum utilization of the given land area. It also explored the dynamics of
the hotel industry thereby identifying the owner-management operator relationship which was highly
prominent during the period of the study. A qualitative study, it focused on presenting certain excerpts
of the actual business proposal delivered to Dandamudi Estate for their maiden hospitality venture in
Hyderabad.

Company Overview

The Dandamudi Group, energized by a dynamic leadership and committed workforce, is on the fast
track of greater growth with the firm’s composition being:

• 10 limited liability corporate

• 8 partnership firms and LLP’s

• 10 proprietary entities

Dandamudi Group in the past has:

• Promoted 30 real estate projects in 1650 acres in the state of Andhra Pradesh.

• Developed resorts and farm houses in an area of 400 acres.

• Developed Palm oil agri project in 400 acres.

• Developed Mango orchards in 600 acres in the state of Andhra Pradesh.

The land banks of Dandamudi Group have created strong and long term relationships with major realty
corporate players from India and Abroad. This resulted in the Joint development of large integrated
townships in Hyderabad to cap the growth with credit as one of the richest realtors. Dandamudi Group
is the pioneer in world class realty development with a gated community concept, a first of its kind in
Andhra Pradesh – “Dandamudi Enclave”. It is built in a lush green environment, replicating a US design
in 120 acres. It has been conferred the Best Housing Colony award by the state government.

Purpose of Feasibility Study

Dandamudi Group had extensive plans for future developments.

• Implement realty projects in pipeline for which the progress is in pace with plans to claim 6, 50,000
square feet of built up area to the credit of the Group.

• Promote Hospitality industry under a brand of international fame to build 450 5 star rated rooms.

• Be a developer in infrastructure building for Indian government and Indian corporate, with a
targeted turnover of US$ 50 Million.

• Develop an operational Biotechnology park in 450 acres.

• Develop a golfing community project in 250 acres.

In line with the above expansion plans, Dandamudi Group was exploring the development of a Luxury
hotel in Timberlake Colony (Gachibowli Main road) area in Hyderabad. The Proposed Hotel was
expected to become operational by March-April 2017. The site was approximately 11.5 Acres with a
total built up area permissible on the site being between 17, 53,290 to 20, 03,760 sqft while the FSI
allotted was between 3.5 to 4.0. The project encompassed identifying a suitable Branded Management
Operator who would operate & manage the Hotel along with the Branded Residence components.

2 Industry Overview

Indian Tourism

In a country like India, for the poor, livelihood choices – in employment and entrepreneurship – are
constrained by a wide range of interdependent obstacles, ranging from geographic segregation to

RICS School of Built Environment
Case Study – Hotel Feasibility Advisory of Proposed Luxury Hotel in Hyderabad for Dandamudi Estate
May 2013
market failures. This advocates that when we deliberate about poverty alleviation, we should think
broadly about creating economic opportunity. Tourism has a wide array of dynamic effects. The
growth of Tourism can influence the livelihood strategies of local households, the business climate for
small & medium enterprise expansion, the blueprint of growth for the local or national economy, and
the infrastructure or natural resource base of the destination.

Tourism is an intensely competitive, focused, rapidly evolving business sector. The qualitative and
quantitative characteristics of the supply of accommodation have a direct bearing on the overall
success and development of tourism. Therefore, in order to ensure that the supply of accommodation
contributes effectively to tourism development plans and objectives, it is rational that the
development of the accommodation sector should be the primary element of the overall destination
planning process. To understand the definition of the tourism industry, one may refer to The World
Tourism Organization (WTO), which defines it as “the activities of persons travelling to and staying in
places outside their usual environment for not more than one consecutive year for leisure, business
and other purposes not related to the exercise of an activity remunerated from within the place visited.

While tourism has its positive and negative impacts, it is unarguably a catalyst for the socio-economic
progress of a country. More so, for a developing nation, tourism acts as a key driver for the creation
of jobs, enterprises, infrastructure development and foreign exchange earnings. The earnings from
tourism make it one of the biggest sectors in the world. The sector’s total contribution to the
worldwide gross domestic product (GDP) is estimated to be US$5,991.9 billion or 9.1% of global GDP
in 2011.

In India, travel and tourism contributed INR 3,680.4 billion or 4.5% of the country’s GDP in 20113. In
addition to tourism’s revenue contribution, it also accounted for 7.5% of the total employment in the
country in 2011.

Envisioning the future of Indian Hotel Industry

India’s share in the global travel pie has modestly grown by a CAGR of 2.8% over the past 15 years and
today, travel to the country formulates 0.64%1 of global travel. The government of India has taken
some initiatives recently that are intended to promote international tourism to the country and
increase India’s share in the global travel market. Considering the way in which travel has grown in the
past and factoring in the government’s unassuming efforts towards growth in the sector, the World
Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) has forecasted India’s share of the global travel pie by 2021. WTTC

RICS School of Built Environment Cushman & Wakefield 4


RICS School of Built Environment
Case Study – Hotel Feasibility Advisory of Proposed Luxury Hotel in Hyderabad for Dandamudi Estate
May 2013
predicts that by 2021, global travel would have reached 1,362 million travelers. India, according to
WTTC, is expected to account for 0.8% of those travelers or 11.1 million international travelers.

The larger question looming now more than ever is that whether India is equipped to cater to such a
volume as the expected number of tourists travelling to India would jump from the current level of
810 million travelers to 1,747 million in 2021. India will witness an increase of 937 million travelers
over the next ten years which is actually more than what the country caters to today. To answer this
question, a recent study conducted by HVS laid down the projection while concluding that the
projected increase in the number of visitors by 2021 would lead to a requirement of about 180,000
hotel rooms in the country. The total investment required to fund this scale of development would be
in the neighborhood of USD 26 Billion.

Different Players within the Hospitality Industry

To explain the interrelation of different players that co-exist within the hospitality market, the
framework highlights the respective entities and their role with respect to a hotel asset. First, the
Owner (any hotel owner who owns the hotel asset) either runs an independent hotel (unbranded) or
associates with a hotel branded operator to manage & operate their hotel. To exemplify the same, let
us take the example of the Asian Hotels (West) Ltd. which owns and operates the Hyatt Regency
Mumbai, JW Marriott DIAL, New Delhi and The Clarion, Bengaluru. Hence, as the owner AHWL is
associated with Hyatt Hotels & Marriott respectively who manage their hotels on behalf of the owners
in exchange of a management fees. The hotels are owned by AHWL and all investments as well as
employees are the owner’s prerogative. Each Branded Management Company would assign their flag
(brand name) and extend all operating and marketing services to the owner and accept relative fees
for the same from the owner.

OWNERS
(Asian Hotels West)

BRANDED HOTEL FRANCHISOR


OPERATORS PROPERTY (Wyndham,
(Taj, Marriott, MANAGEMENT
Hyatt) Best Western)

SECOND TIER
OPERATORS
(JHM Interstate)

On the other hand, a franchisor-owner relationship involves the owner to operate its own hotel along
the brand specifications of the franchised brand. In this case, the Clarion, Bengaluru is a franchised
hotel where AHWL operates its hotel with its management team and only uses the marketing & sales
distribution network and the Clarion brand from the Choice Hotels Group. In this case, the Clarion
brand lays down brand specifications and other modules to facilitate the owners to run their hotels. A
significant difference between the two concepts is that ideally franchisor brands extend their brands
to owners who ideally have their primary business of hotels and understand the modalities of the
industry in order to safeguard the interest and image of their brands.

However, owners of different background have the flexibility and can tie-up with a management
operator to run their hotels and manage on their behalf as either they do not possess the required
management bandwidth or they simply intend to diversify their business group into hospitality. The
other entity, second-tier management companies are hotel managers who manage & operate hotels
on behalf of owners much like their branded counterparts however they do not have a brand name
and ideally tie-up with a brand under the franchise agreement. The case in point would be the Four
Points by Sheraton Pune & Jaipur, where the owners (Duet Hotels) have employed JHM Interstate a
Non-branded hotel management company and tied up with a brand Four Points by Sheraton on
franchise contract to run its hotel.

Market Positioning Luxury

Source: As per information provided by Dandamudi Estates (Client)

The existing supply was reviewed which was likely to compete with the proposed hotel either directly or
indirectly and reviewed accommodation supply that may become competitive to the proposed product
from across the geographical area across of Hyderabad. We then identified them as primary and secondary
competitors weighing them on certain variables like category, inventory, location, brand and rate
positioning in the market.

RICS School of Built Environment Cushman & Wakefield 11


RICS School of Built Environment
Case Study – Hotel Feasibility Advisory of Proposed Luxury Hotel in Hyderabad for Dandamudi Estate
May 2013

For the purpose of our analysis, we included hotels across all categories into the competitive set keeping
in mind the prevailing market dynamics. The hotels were categorized as primary, secondary and tertiary
competitors based on the brand, inventory, location attributes and impact it may have on the proposed
property.

Our analysis of accommodation demand was aimed at identifying the most likely sources and profile of
demand as evident from our research and analysis of the Hyderabad and further, in the micro market area.

Demand for transient accommodation typically originates from the following market segments:

• Business demand, including business FIT travelers and Groups

• Meetings and Conference demand, also known as Business Events; and

• Long stay demand, including guests who stay for over two weeks, generally on business travel.

• Leisure demand, including domestic and international Individual and Group and transit travelers.

We note that the above market segments are purely for the Hyderabad hotel market and therefore, the
Proposed Hotel was likely to operate within these transient accommodation market segments.

d. Market Outlook Summary

Residential Segment

The third quarter of 2012 witnessed healthy enquiries from both NRI investors as well as end-users. Due
to the overall moderate demand scenario, majority of the developers in the city resorted to stable pricing
in order to sustain sales. The capital values in both mid and high-end segments have remained stable
across most of the locations, except for locations such as Madhapur, Gachibowli, Himayathnagar, where
there was marginal appreciation in Q3 2012 over previous quarter due to a relatively higher demand. The
rental values have remained stable across most of the locations except Kukatpally and West & East
Maredpally, where rentals have increased marginally. Going forward, the capital and rental values are
expected to increase marginally during Q4 2012 on account of moderate increase in overall demand which
would be a culmination of effective policy measures taken in the recent past and the onset of the festive
season. The relaxation in the land reservation regulation will continue to positively impact the residential
markets with increased launches in the near future.

Retail Segment

Main street rentals are also expected to remain stable due to moderate demand in the short term.
Demand is likely to go up over the next three to six months as retailers have reduced their space
requirements and are actively evaluating space options in order to operate at their preferred locations.

RICS School of Built Environment Cushman & Wakefield 12


RICS School of Built Environment
Case Study – Hotel Feasibility Advisory of Proposed Luxury Hotel in Hyderabad for Dandamudi Estate
May 2013
As a result, prime retail locations such as Jubilee Hills and Banjara Hills are likely to witness increase in
demand for small format stores. The upcoming mall supply in Kukatpally will also cater to the needs of
some high-end retailers who have been weighing their options in the market for quite some time. Despite
the addition of only a single mall of 335,000 Sqft. expected in early 2013 in Kukatpally, mall rentals are
expected to remain stable in the city. Newer markets are likely to witness increased demand on account
of shortage of retail space in prime locations. Rentals in prime locations could grow moderately owing to
the lack of supply; upcoming locations will remain stable in the short term to capitalize on enquiries.

Office Space Segment

The overall demand for office space is expected to increase moderately from next year, i.e. starting year
2013 as economic conditions improve. Fresh supply between 1 to 1.5 million Sq.ft. is expected over the
next two quarters which would be between Q4 2012 and Q1 2013. A majority of this upcoming supply is
planned as Grade A developments across suburban micro markets of Madhapur & Gachibowli. During the
same time frame, a modest increase in fresh pre-commitments is also expected as shortage of Grade A
space is likely to continue. Rentals are expected to remain stable till end of the current year.

Hospitality Segment

Although Occupancy and ARRs have shown a marginal decline in the past couple of years, business in the
city looks to grow in the future, especially in the Hitech city, Madhapur, Financial District and Gachibowli
region thanks to the major development in the residential, retail and commercial sectors. The focus of
business in the city has seen a shift from CBD to this region. Major Offices like IBM, Wells Fargo, Deloitte,
Wipro, ICICI, Infosys, Virtusa, TCS, Accenture etc either have or are setting up campuses in the vicinity.

Well known residential brands like Mantri, NCC, Divyashree and Jayabheri have projects coming up in the
area. The 500 acre EMAAR golf course is taking shape in the locality. There is also more development in
the region with major international schools, major hospitals, movie welfare association activities etc.
Hyderabad is a preferred destination in the country for conferences & conventions. It is well connected to
the rest of the country by air, rail and road and all of this has contributed to making it one of the fastest
growing cities in south India. The city is also being promoted and propagated widely by the state
government and has good infrastructure which is facilitating the development.

Hotel business in the city looks promising in the next 3-4 years as all the major developments in the
residential, retail and commercial sectors would lead to more people travelling to the city and hence
occupying hotel rooms. There are 4 SEZ’s identified and announced by the government of the state which
indicates more development. Major international brands like Hyatt, Radisson, Marriott, Accor, Carlson etc
are planning to expand their footprint in the city. Room Nights available in the city have increased by 8%
in 2012 over 2011 and the supply of hotel rooms in the luxury segment in the next 3 years is expected to

RICS School of Built Environment Cushman & Wakefield 13


RICS School of Built Environment
Case Study – Hotel Feasibility Advisory of Proposed Luxury Hotel in Hyderabad for Dandamudi Estate
May 2013
grow at approximately 10 % year-on-year corresponding to the increasing demand for keys in the subject
market segment.

The increase in branded inventory would lead to stiff competition between the leading brands and
therefore might lead to rate-cutting. RevPAR has seen a growth in 2012 over 2011 and is expected to
remain positive in 2013. The ARRs in the city are expected to go up in the second half of 2012 and 2013.
The Occupancy rate in the city which is currently at 52% is also expected to improve.

3 Formulation of Development Mix & Financial Model

In this section, we assess the opportunity for the development of an upscale luxury transient
accommodation facility. We also make recommendations with regard to the configuration, service
and facility considerations for the proposed hotel, based on our research findings and conclusions as
previously described in this report.

From an identified product gap perspective we conclude an opportunity exists to establish a branded
upscale luxury hotel to cater to three major segments and aimed at capturing demand from transient
international and domestic business tourists travelling to and around Hyderabad. The different
segments that hotels of Hyderabad cater to are:

• Business Travellers

• Conference Markets

• Long Stayers & Expatriates

• Leisure Travellers

In evaluating the proposed concept and considering the recommended size and market positioning
that would enable the Proposed Hotel to best penetrate the competitive market we have identified
several opportunities and we note certain issues for consideration.
