TFS IPO: Strong Margins, Hidden Risks

Smart Calls with Smartkarma | TFS IPO: Strong Margins. Hidden Risks.

Travel Food Services Limited (TFS) operates QSRs and lounges at India’s busiest airports, reporting high margins and ROEs of 30–35%. But behind the numbers lie structural concerns.

Pranav Rao speaks with Insight Provider Himanshu Dugar to unpack:

• TFS’s dominant footprint in India’s airport F&B and lounge segments

• How its ROEs stack up against other listed QSR players

• Increasing airport operator control via joint ventures

• Risks from changes in credit card-linked lounge access

• Why FY26 growth could be impacted despite current scale

• Expansion plans across Asia through SSP Group partnerships

Strong financials but limited control and shifting revenue models may challenge long-term visibility.
