The Mumbai market saw Feb-23 average room rates crossing the Rs 12,000 mark, while Goa and New Delhi also recorded Feb-23 ARRs in excess of Rs 10,000.

As per our channel checks, the months of March 2023 and April 2023 are expected to see continued demand momentum driven by further recovery in business travel, meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions and the Men's Cricket Indian Premier League.
