Ajwa Fun World & Resort Ltd. is currently undergoing a fundamental structural transformation. Historically a dominant player in the regional amusement and hospitality sector in **Vadodara, Gujarat**, the company is pivoting from active park operations toward a model centered on **strategic asset monetization, real estate development, and high-end hospitality**. This transition is designed to deleverage the balance sheet, resolve legacy compliance issues, and fund a modernized portfolio of entertainment and infrastructure projects. --- ### **Strategic Pivot: From Legacy Entertainment to Asset Monetization** As of **June 2025**, the company has executed a decisive shift in its business model by **discontinuing its legacy Entertainment Park business**. This move marks the end of its traditional water and amusement park operations in their original form. * **Decommissioning of Assets:** The company has scrapped all buildings, plant, and machinery related to the **water park, amusement park, and resort**. The majority of these physical assets have already been sold. * **Major Land Liquidation (August 2025):** To unlock value from its extensive land bank, the company entered into a significant transaction with **Godrej Projects Development Limited**. | Land Parcel | Location | Area (Sq Mtrs) | Rate (per Sq Mtr) | Total Consideration | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **CTS No. NA 62 (P)** | Rayantalwadi, Vadodara | **25,279** | **Rs. 5,968.37** | ~Rs. 15.08 Crores | | **CTS No. NA 63 (P)** | Rayantalwadi, Vadodara | **69,973** | **Rs. 5,968.37** | ~Rs. 41.77 Crores | | **Total** | | **95,252** | | **~Rs. 56.85 Crores** | * **Capital Allocation Strategy:** Management has earmarked the proceeds from these sales for three primary purposes: 1. **Retiring existing borrowings** to achieve a debt-free or low-leverage status. 2. **Treasury investments** to generate stable non-operating income. 3. **Funding future projects**, including a transition into infrastructure and modern hospitality. --- ### **Future Growth Drivers & Diversified Revenue Streams** While the legacy park has been decommissioned, the company is not exiting the industry but rather reinventing its offerings to capture higher-margin segments of the **USD 79.26 billion (projected 2030)** global amusement market. * **Infrastructure & Construction:** The company has successfully expanded into **Indore**, developing commercial/residential complexes. These operations have already begun contributing to the reduction of **accumulated losses**. * **Modernized Hospitality (The "New Ajwa"):** Plans are in advanced stages for an **ultra-modern Spa and Resort** at the Ajwa site. This facility will feature: * **Banquet and Marriage Party Halls** to capture the lucrative Indian wedding market. * High-end **SPA and Swimming Pool** facilities. * **Turnkey Consultancy:** Leveraging decades of operational expertise, the company is negotiating multiple **turnkey contracts** to design and develop amusement parks for third-party developers. * **Amusement Recovery:** Despite the closure of the main park, the company is exploring "light" entertainment models, such as **inflatable water slides**, which require lower CAPEX than permanent mechanical rides. --- ### **Financial Performance & Capital Structure** The company has demonstrated a resilient recovery in profitability following the pandemic-induced disruptions. **Three-Year Financial Summary:** | Metric | FY 2024-25 | FY 2023-24 | FY 2022-23 | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Revenue from Operations** | **₹270.24 Lacs** | **₹256.57 Lacs** | **₹274.37 Lacs** | | **Profit After Tax (PAT)** | **₹29.92 Lacs** | **₹10.64 Lacs** | **₹26.18 Lacs** | | **PAT Growth (YoY)** | **181.20%** | **(59.36%)** | **112.40%** | | **Dividend Recommended** | **Nil** | **Nil** | **Nil** | * **Equity Profile:** The **Paid-up Capital** stands at **₹6.39 Crores** (63,90,000 shares at ₹10 each). * **Dematerialization:** **55.25%** of total shares are dematerialized via **CDSL**. Notably, **100% of Promoter holdings** are in dematerialized form. * **Taxation Note:** As of **February 2026**, the company does not recognize **deferred tax assets** due to the uncertainty of future taxable profits required to offset unabsorbed depreciation and carry-forward losses. --- ### **Governance, Leadership & Compliance** The company is currently strengthening its internal controls and addressing historical regulatory gaps. * **Key Appointments:** * **Mr. Rajeshkumar Chunilal Jain:** Reappointed as **Managing Director** in **June 2025** for a **5-year term**. * **Mrs. Soni Himanshu Nandecha:** Appointed as **Independent Director** (term ending **September 2029**). * **Statutory Auditors:** **M/s.
