The hospitality sector is witnessing renewed momentum, with several hotel chains capitalising on a surge in travel demand to deliver strong financial performances for the quarter ended 31 December.

Lemon Tree's revenues climbed 22% to ₹355.7 crore in Q3 FY25 from ₹290.1 crore a year ago, while IHCL, buoyed by its Taj properties and diversified business lines like catering, saw revenues jump to ₹2,533 crore from ₹1,936 crore.
