• Kesari Tours: Kesari Tours is an India-based, retail-group tour operator with a similar multi-package, fixed-departure model (domestic, pilgrimage, leisure). Closely matches M.P. Holidays' high-touch, catalog-style packaging and customer segment targeting.
• SOTC India: SOTC India is an established retail tour operator offering domestic group tours, holidays, and MICE packages across India. Overlaps with M.P. Holidays on retail pilgrimages, heritage and leisure packages sold via multi-city branch networks.

Broad incumbents

• Thomas Cook India: Thomas Cook India is a large, multi-product travel services incumbent covering domestic tours, outbound holidays, and corporate travel. Comparable as a broader-scope retail tour operator targeting overlapping Indian leisure and pilgrimage segments.

• MakeMyTrip: MakeMyTrip is India's largest online travel platform with broad OTA offerings across flights, hotels, and holiday packages. Competes with M.P. Holidays for Indian leisure travellers but operates via self-serve, low-touch booking instead of high-touch custom itineraries.
• Cleartrip: Cleartrip is an Indian OTA offering flights, hotels, and curated holiday packages. Competes broadly with M.P. Holidays on Indian leisure and pilgrimage bookings, particularly via its self-serve stack.
• Ixigo: Ixigo is an Indian OTA focused on flights, trains, hotels, and holiday packages. Adjacent competitor capturing price-sensitive Indian leisure travellers who might otherwise contact a regional tour agency.

Emerging players
