Agatti is Lakshadweep's gateway with the only operating airport plus a stunning coral lagoon. Tourism is permit-restricted but growing; lodging supply is limited. A small 4-6 room boutique homestay paired with curated snorkelling, paddleboard, and reef-diving experiences captures the experiential traveller. Pricing: 8,000-25,000 per night.
Capex of 18-40 lakh covers property (lease arrangement), eco-construction with island materials, snorkelling/dive equipment, certifications, and 8 months of working capital. NEC's tourism subsidy plus MUDRA Tarun fund the gap. Hard parts: Lakshadweep's permit-restricted access (Indian-citizen-only with permit; international tourists rare), monsoon shutdown (May-Sep), and supply logistics from mainland. Realistic: 4 years to break-even at 60% annual occupancy.
