Mumbai: Mahindra Holidays and Resorts will spend Rs35-400 crore in FY11 to add 600-700 rooms and apartments, its managing director Ramesh Ramanathan told reporters on Thursday.

“We plan to add 600-700 units out of which 350 are already in the pipeline," he said .

The firm has Rs100 crore left from its initial public offering last year and would not need to raise additional funds for the capex, Ramanathan added.

In mid-2009, the company raised Rs275 crore through a 9.27 million-share issue.

It has signed agreements to buy three properties in Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh and will have a total of 1,476 apartments across 33 resorts post acquisition.

It has raised average membership fees by 5% in April, its first hike since August 2008.

Earlier on Thursday, it posted a March quarter net profit of R32.21 crore from Rs29.8 crore in the same period a year earlier.

The growth in profit was helped by the cost cutting measures the firm had undertaken.

“Our cost as a percentage of sales has gone down as we are spending less for every sale we get," Ramanathan said.

Shares of the firm ended up 1.96% at Rs499.8 in a firm Mumbai market.
