Since August, India’s key corporate hotel markets have been picking up in performance, led by rising average room rates and steady occupancies, said Mandeep Singh Lamba, president and CEO (South Asia), HVS-ANAROCK. “This reflects the continued revival of business travel, supported by India's robust economic growth and its rising global stature. Hotels in major markets are also benefiting from a packed calendar of industry events and conferences,” he said. Lamba said in August 2025, Bengaluru recorded the highest average rate growth of 25-27% year-on-year, driven by not just the IT and startup activity but also large-scale conferences like the NASSCOM Future Forge & Tech Developer Confluence. Hyderabad followed closely with average room rate gains of 16-18%, supported by tech demand and major events such as NCAET – 25 and AgriBiz Connect. Delhi’s 6-8% average room rate jump in August was aided by the return of corporate travel after the monsoon, a busy line-up of government and industry events, and the limited supply of premium rooms, which allowed hotels to raise rates confidently. “Meanwhile, Gurugram, Pune, Kochi, and other emerging business hubs are gaining traction with increasing MICE and corporate traffic, driven by manufacturing, tech, and finance sectors. Across cities, hotels are capitalizing on strong weekday demand and limited new supply to push rates,” added Lamba. #IndiaHotels #BusinessTravel #MICE #HotelPerformance #RoomRates #HospitalityTrends #ConferenceBoom #RealEstateIndia #TravelRecovery #HotelInvestment #HVSANAROCK https://lnkd.in/gvVrge6w
