Luxury villa hospitality platform ELIVAAS has scaled its operational portfolio to approximately 620 villas within two years of launch, positioning itself among the fastest-growing organised players in India’s villa hospitality segment.

Since its inception, ELIVAAS has hosted over 3 lakh guests, with guest volumes growing 2.7 times between December 2023 and December 2025. This growth has been largely driven by increasing demand for group travel, private celebrations, and corporate offsites, as travellers seek exclusive and experience-led accommodation formats.

Despite rapid expansion, ELIVAAS has maintained stable operational performance. Around 95 percent of guest stays have received five-star ratings, reflecting consistency across service delivery, property management, and overall guest experience. The company attributes this performance to a balanced approach towards scaling supply while strengthening operational processes.

Commenting on the growth journey, Ritwik Khare, Founder and CEO, ELIVAAS, said, “Scaling supply without compromising operations is the biggest challenge in villa hospitality. For a sustainable business, the three wheels of supply, demand, and guest experience and operations have to scale at the same pace. Guest feedback at this level gives us confidence as we move into the next phase of growth.”

ELIVAAS currently has a strong presence across North and West India, which continue to account for the majority of bookings. Alongside geographical expansion, the platform has focused on enhancing experience-led offerings across its portfolio. Most villas support services such as private chefs, spa treatments, customised décor, live entertainment, and concierge-led experiences, catering to leisure travellers as well as event-led stays.

Looking ahead, ELIVAAS plans to more than double its portfolio to over 1,200 villas in 2026. The expansion will be supported by sustained demand and deeper penetration across key leisure destinations and event-driven markets, reinforcing the brand’s long-term growth strategy in India’s evolving luxury hospitality landscape.

The Union Budget 2026-27 has drawn varied responses from hospitality professionals and industry leaders, reflecting a balance between short-term operational challenges and long-term structural benefits. While the Budget signals continued support for infrastructure and domestic value chains, experts note that certain cost-related measures may impact pricing and margins within the hospitality ecosystem.

Anuj Mittal, Founder of Paprika Park, described the Budget as having a mixed impact on the food and beverage sector. He noted that select duty reductions could support domestic production and processing, while other measures may increase operating costs for eateries and cafes.

“Indian Union Budget 2026-27 had a mixed impact on the food & beverage (F&B) sector: some production inputs and processing equipment became cheaper due to duty reductions (e.g., seafood processing inputs and microwave parts), supporting domestic value chains, while costs rose for others most notably commercial LPG for kitchens and imported coffee machines now facing higher duties which could push up prices for cafes and eateries. The Budget also continues to support broader agri-food infrastructure and supply-chain improvements, benefiting long-term F&B competitiveness.”

From a manufacturing and allied industry perspective, Suraj Mehta, Chief Strategy Officer at HNGIL, highlighted the positive implications of tariff rationalisation for India’s glass manufacturing sector, especially in the export market.

“This tariff cut from 50% to 18% is a game-changer for India's glass manufacturing sector, particularly for container glass exports to the US, where demand in food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics packaging is robust. It levels the playing field against subsidized imports from other countries like China, potentially increasing our export volumes by 20-30% in the coming years.”

He further added that the move could encourage capacity utilisation, sustainable investments, and job creation across manufacturing hubs, aligning with India’s broader export ambitions.

Taken together, the reactions suggest that while hospitality and allied sectors may face selective cost pressures in the near term, the Union Budget 2026-27 lays the groundwork for long-term competitiveness, stronger supply chains, and global market integration. The coming months will reveal how businesses adapt these policy signals into growth strategies.
