Outdoor advertising gains traction, diversifies commercial real estate revenue streams
New Delhi [India], June 22 (ANI): As malls turn into entertainment hubs and office complexes include shops and cafes, real estate developers are finding new value in outdoor advertising. What was once just an extra branding element is now becoming an important part of the commercial real estate business strategy, say several industry executives. By definition, outdoor advertising or out-of-home (OOH) advertising is a form of marketing that reaches consumers when they are outside their homes. The real estate executives say that outdoor advertising has moved from the basic static hoardings to a high-revenue-generating, value-added business segment for commercial properties. Umang Jindal, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at Homeland Group, says that advertising is rapidly becoming a core vertical as commercial assets have become a mixed-use place. "As commercial assets become mixed-use destinations, advertising is no longer peripheral--it's fast becoming a core vertical that adds strategic value," said Homeland Group CEO. "Growing urbanisation and pedestrian flow have transformed buildings into potential media channels. Facades, rooftops, digital billboards, and transition points in commercial buildings are strategically used for brand exposure," said Vijay Kamboj, Founder, Bric-X Infra. According to the data made available by MarkNtel, an Indian data intelligence firm, the Digital Out-of-Home Advertising Market size was valued at around USD 284 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 620 million by 2030, said the firm in its report. The executives say that advertising income normally represents 3 per cent to 8 per cent of the revenues of a commercial building, but it can reach more than 10 per cent on marquee frontage and digitally enabled display properties. "It contributes about 7 per cent to 10 per cent to the total income of a commercial property. Outdoor advertising in premium Special Economic Zones or transit points can drive revenues as high as 12 per cent or even more," said G Hari Babu, National President of NAREDCO. On the other hand, the executives representing electronic equipment say that they have seen traction in the Indian markets. "Digital billboards, LED screens, interactive displays, and digital transit advertising are becoming more common in major cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, and Chennai," said Muneer Ahmad, Vice President (Audio/Visual Business) ViewSonic India. He added that demand for digital out-of-home advertising is rapidly rising in India as consumer preferences shift from traditional to digital platforms, noting that global real estate players are ramping up their investments more than their Indian counterparts. Indian players are increasingly looking for popular sites to maximise their presence in the crowded or popular places, giving more visibility to the brands. Observing the trends, Ashish Gupta, Director - Mandate Strategy, ANAROCK Group, says that revenue potential is a function of the location and the amount of traffic or footfall it sees. "ANAROCK Creative Agency focuses on locations such as Bandra Kurla Complex (Mumbai), Cyber Hub (Gurugram), Connaught Place (Delhi), MG Road (Bengaluru), and HiTech City (Hyderabad) to drive the highest value for our developer clients' digital advertising spends," the ANAROCK Group Director added. Sharing more insights on the specifics of the market, Bric-X Infra Founder added that in Delhi NCR and Gurugram, there is strong demand for non-traditional advertising media such as facades, terrace edges, lobby screens, and elevator wraps. He added that advertisers are keen to utilise these eyeball-catching, out-of-home locations to create experience-based brand interactions. "Experiential activations and pop-ups in amenity spaces are also gaining momentum, allowing brands to reach captive audiences within commercial buildings beyond captive audiences in traditional billboard sites," Kamboj added.

Corporate travel, MICE, live events to boost operating performance of hospitality industry: Report
New Delhi [India], June 22 (ANI): The hospitality industry will maintain strong operating performance in the near term, supported by strong corporate travel, MICE activity, live events, and a buoyant wedding season, according to a report by Antique Stock Broking Limited. As per the report, medium-term growth of the industry is expected to be driven by sustained demand-supply imbalances and a healthy pipeline of new hotel additions. The hospitality sector has significantly benefited by the increased demand from the Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions (MICE) sector. 'The hospitality industry should continue to deliver strong operating performance in the near term aided by strong corporate demand, MICE, live events, and the wedding business,' the report added. This growth has resulted in a sharp increase in Average Room Rates (ARRs) and occupancy levels. The sector is expected to be in a long-term upcycle, supported by shifts in consumer preferences, rising disposable incomes, and increased travel spending, say several experts. In the fourth quarter, the large hotel firms reported strong demand, and they highlighted strong demand visibility for 1Q and FY26 driven by large-scale events, concerts, conferences and weddings. The hotel industry executives anticipate the strong rate growth momentum to continue in the near term, as highlighted in the report. Several reports say that the overall industry is expected to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 10.4 per cent from FY24 to FY29, outpacing supply growth at 9 per cent. India's tourism sector, rich in heritage, culture, and diversity, is emerging as a global favourite and a key driver of economic growth. Recognising its potential for employment-led development, the Union Budget 2025-26 has allocated Rs 2541.06 crore to enhance infrastructure, skill development, and travel facilitation. A major initiative includes developing 50 top tourist destinations in partnership with states through a challenge mode, ensuring world-class facilities and connectivity. As per the government data, the tourism sector's contribution to GDP regained the pre-pandemic level of 5 per cent in FY23. The tourism sector created 7.6 crore jobs in FY23. International tourist arrivals (ITAs) in India have rebounded to pre-pandemic level in 2023. The share of India's ITAs in World ITAs stands at 1.45 per cent in 2023. Foreign exchange earnings through tourism were 28 billion USD. India received 1.8 per cent of world tourism receipts and attained a rank of 14th worldwide in world tourism receipts during 2023. (ANI)

"This is an escalation": Foreign Affairs Expert Robinder Sachdev after US strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities
New Delhi [India], June 22 (ANI): Foreign Affairs Expert Robinder Sachdev on Sunday described the US strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities as an escalation to the week old Israel-Iran conflict, warning that the situation is likely to deteriorate further. His comments come in the wake of recent US airstrikes targeting three key Iranian nuclear facilities, including Fordow, Iran's main enrichment location for uranium enrichment to 60 per cent. 'This is an escalation, and it seems there will be no end; the situation will worsen, go up and down. It seems that the region of the Middle East will now be plunged into Forever Wars... Iran will fight back with whatever resources it has. It will retaliate. However, it doesn't have much capacity, but it will still attempt to do its best,' he told ANI. Sachdev said that US President Donald Trump's claim of eliminating the entire nuclear programme of Iran is 'wrong'. 'Donald Trump is correct in saying that tonight's attack was a spectacular attack by the American Armed forces, but he is wrong in saying that this attack has eliminated the entire nuclear programme of Iran; it has not...... The Iranians have already trandffered Uranium though it is not weapon grade but whatever enriched uranium they had, it seems they have distributed and hidden in some other locations but yes, a major blow to Iran's nuclear programme has been delivered but it does not mean that the entire nuclear programme of Iran has been obliterated,' he added. He further said that Iran's attempt to close the Strait of Hormuz could lead India to suffer, as according to him, about 20 per cent of the world's crude oil and 25 per cent of the world's natural gas flow through one of the world's most important oil chokepoints located between Oman and Iran, connecting the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea. '...If Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz, India will definitely suffer. About 20 per cent of the world's crude oil and 25 per cent of the world's natural gas flow through these. Qatar's gas, which we buy, almost all flows through this. 70 per cent of Saudi oil comes through the Strait of Hormuz,' Sachdev said. 'India will suffer because oil prices will go up, inflation will rise, and there is an estimate that for every ten-dollar increase in the price of crude oil, India's GDP will suffer by 0.5 per cent,' the Foreign affairs expert added. After Northrop Grumman-made B-2 Spirit bombers struck nuclear facilities in Natanz, Isfahan and Fordow, Trump, in his first public remarks, warned that he could order further action if Tehran does not agree to a satisfactory peace agreement. In his address to the nation from the White House on Saturday (local time), Trump said, 'There will be either peace or there will be tragedy for Iran, far greater than we've witnessed over the last eight days.' In a Truth Social post, Trump said, 'This cannot continue. There will be either peace or there will be a tragedy for Iran far greater than we have witnessed over the last eight days. Remember, there are many targets left. Tonight's was the most difficult of them all, by far, and perhaps the most lethal. But if peace does not come quickly, we will go after those other targets with precision, speed and skill.' Trump also thanked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and said, 'I want to thank Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu. We worked as a team like perhaps no team has ever worked before, and we've gone a long way to erasing this horrible threat to Israel.' (ANI)
