Sinclairs Hotels reported a net profit of ₹905.44 lakh for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, a decline from ₹1,399.68 lakh in the previous year. The decrease in profitability was primarily attributed to a diminution in the value of investments during the last quarter due to a steep market fall. Revenue from operations rose to ₹5,923.91 lakh from ₹5,342.37 lakh in FY25, reflecting a 10.89% growth in topline performance. Total income for the year stood at ₹6,241.90 lakh compared to ₹5,961.36 lakh in the prior year.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the company reported a net loss of ₹85.98 lakh, contrasting with a profit of ₹378.49 lakh in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. This quarterly decline was driven by a diminution in the fair value of investments amounting to ₹490.21 lakh included in the loss before tax. Despite the quarterly loss, the full-year performance remained profitable.

Board Decisions and Dividend

The Board of Directors recommended a final dividend of 40%, or ₹0.80 per equity share of face value ₹2 each, for the financial year 2025-26.
