India Tourism Development Corporation (ITDC), a Public Sector Undertaking under the Ministry of Tourism, Government of India, reported a 12.6 per cent year-on-year increase in Profit After Tax (PAT) for the second quarter of FY 2026–27. The growth was attributed to improved operational performance, efficiency measures and continued business development across its tourism and hospitality portfolio.
The corporation said its quarterly performance was supported by a focus on operational efficiency, financial discipline and business expansion across key segments of the tourism and hospitality ecosystem. During the period, ITDC also engaged with senior representatives from the travel, tourism and hospitality industries through an industry consultation to understand emerging trends and align its future business priorities with developments in the sector.
ITDC undertook several capacity-building initiatives during the quarter to strengthen institutional capabilities and organisational performance. These included workshops covering digital governance, cybersecurity and environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices, aimed at reinforcing ethical governance, sustainability and organisational excellence.
The corporation also continued its employee welfare initiatives alongside efforts to strengthen workplace capabilities and institutional processes. These activities formed part of its broader focus on improving operational standards and supporting long-term organisational development.
In heritage tourism infrastructure, ITDC launched a Sound and Light Show at the Udayagiri and Khandagiri Caves in Odisha. The initiative forms part of its efforts to develop visitor experiences at heritage destinations and enhance the presentation of India’s cultural and historical assets.
The corporation’s Q2 FY27 performance and ongoing initiatives reflect its continued focus on financial growth, capacity building, sustainability and heritage tourism development. Its activities during the quarter covered multiple areas of the tourism ecosystem, combining business expansion with institutional strengthening and destination-focused projects.
