Despite a dismal first quarter, major hospitality corporations like IHCL and Lemon Tree are optimistic about future growth. Over the past month, the stock values of Indian Hotels Company, Lemon Tree Hotels Ltd., Chalet Hotels Ltd., and EIH Ltd. have decreased following the publishing of their subdued first-quarter financial results. This year’s sales growth was only 6-20% compared to the previous year’s 16–26% rise.

In addition, this year’s quarter saw fewer weddings than usual, which is usually a good sign for wedding-related reservations. The MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) sector suffered. This, along with the election period, contributed to the hotel industry’s muted growth.
