Viceroy Hotels Ltd, which trades on both the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), is set to resume trading on April 3, 2024. The company recently completed its Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP), with Anirudh Agro Farms Limited (AAFL) emerging as the Successful Resolution Applicant. This process concluded with an order from NCLAT Chennai Bench on October 6, 2023, approving AAFL's Resolution Plan. Viceroy Hotels Limited confirmed in a filing on January 6, 2024, that all payments outlined in the Resolution Plan were duly made by Loko Hospitality Private Limited, a subsidiary of Anirudh Agro Farms Limited.

Viceroy Hotels Limited owns two prominent hotels, Marriott and Courtyard by Marriott, situated on a 4.5-acre freehold land parcel on Tank Bund in Hyderabad, adjacent to the new secretariat. The combined hotels offer 409 operational rooms with the potential to expand to 493 rooms, making it one of Hyderabad's largest hotel properties. Additionally, the property features one of the city's largest convention centers and holds a significant historical legacy, having been one of Hyderabad's earliest five-star hotels, known as THE VICEROY prior to Marriott's management takeover.

The hotel industry has experienced significant growth over the past two years, driven by the resurgence of business travel and tourism following the Covid-19 pandemic. Average Room Rates (ARRs) and Occupancy rates have reached unprecedented levels, and industry experts anticipate this trend to continue in the foreseeable future. With demand outpacing supply additions, the hospitality sector is witnessing a paradigm shift in revenue generation.
