In September, Delta Corp revealed that its plan to develop an IR in Pernem, north Goa, had received approval from the Goa Investment Promotion Board. The complex will include hotels, a convention center, multiplex cinema, retail area, electronic casino, a water park and other facilities. In March, Delta Corp also said it was going to build a new ship to replace one of its three floating casinos. The ship will substitute the smaller Deltin Caravela and it is expected to be operational by mid-2022. Nonetheless, Delta Corp has not been immune from the pressures the COVID-19 pandemic has inflicted on the global tourism and entertainment sector, announcing in October a US$3 million loss for the three months to 30 September 2021, only slightly improved from a US$3.8 million 2Q loss although significantly better than 1Q’s US$7.3 million loss. Delta Corp’s Goa casinos shut their doors in March and only reopened in October, but the damage was somewhat limited by the growth in its online gaming business, Adda52. Jaydev Mody 的Delta公司在2021年十分忙碌，各種發展和擴張計劃加強 了該公司在印度博彩業的主導地位。 9月，Delta Corp透露其在果阿北部Pernem開發綜合度假村的計劃已 獲得果阿投資促進委員會的批准。該綜合體將包括酒店、會展中心、多廳 影院、零售區、電子娛樂場、水上樂園和其他設施。 今年3月，Delta Corp曾表示將建造一艘新船來取代其三個離岸賭船 之中較小的Deltin Caravela，預計將於2022年中投入營運。 但Delta Corp也未能倖免於新冠疫情對全球旅遊及娛樂行業帶來的影 響。該公司於10月宣佈，在截至2021年9月30日的三個月內虧損300萬美 元，雖然較第一季度730萬美元的虧損有明顯好轉，但僅較第二季度的虧 損略有改善。 Delta Corp旗下的果阿娛樂場於3月關閉，直至10月才重新開放，但 其網絡博彩Adda52的增長一定程度上折抵了損失。
