Share of energy that was renewable: 20.3%.

Energy Used: 247,491 GJ of energy, 20.3% of it renewable
Scope 1 and Scope 2 Emissions: 36,505 tCO₂e, 92.5% from purchased electricity
Headcount / Diversity: 3,480 employees; women 16.4% of the workforce, 25% of management

SAMHI Hotels has submitted its first standalone Sustainability Report for the period 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026
It is prepared with reference to the GRI Standards and is described as the baseline against which the company says it will be held to account
The reporting boundary is consolidated, as in the BRSR: SAMHI Hotels Limited and the 17 subsidiaries in its consolidated financial statements
At year end this meant 31 hotels and one corporate office across 11 states
Caspia Delhi was sold in August 2025; its April to August 2025 data are included in the FY2025-26 figures but it is not counted among the 31 hotels at year end

At 31 March 2026, 18 hotels were owned and 13 leased, five of them in mixed-use developments
Marriott, IHG and Hyatt operate the hotels, while SAMHI directs capital, portfolio strategy, asset performance and governance

Hotels used 247,491 GJ of energy in FY2025-26, of which 20.3% was renewable
Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions were 36,505 tCO₂e, with 92.5% coming from purchased electricity
The Chairman, MD & CEO, Ashish Jakhanwala, writes that the company expanded access to renewable power and reduced combined Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions
The letter from the CSR & ESG Committee says work on Scope 3 emissions and supplier screening is still to be built

About 21 of the 31 hotels are in over-exploited or critical groundwater regions, which the company calls its most local challenge

Initial CSR spend of 3.1₹ mn has started the Aarohi Bal Sansar school project in Satoli, Uttarakhand
The project is to help the school expand from Class 10 to Class 12, adding vocational training, laboratories, a library and a computer centre for students from 22 villages
CSR programmes reached around 930 beneficiaries from vulnerable and marginalised groups
Break-up of people reached: education around 320, community welfare around 405, health and nutrition around 136, livelihoods and safety around 40, environment and animals around 30

The CSR & ESG Committee is chaired by and made up entirely of Independent Directors and oversees the CSR Policy and ESG performance on behalf of the Board
The Committee met on 10 February 2026 with full attendance

This is a disclosure document, not a financial result; it sets out environmental, workforce and community data for the year
For a reader tracking the business, the figures above are the measurable baseline the company has put on record for future comparison
The company itself flags the areas where measurement is still being built, such as value-chain emissions, while describing sustainability as a way to make the business more efficient, more trusted and more resilient
