Lemon Tree has signed license agreements for two new properties in Junagadh, Gujarat, and Chitwan, Nepal under the brand Lemon Tree Hotel and Lemon Tree Resort, respectively. Lemon Tree Hotel in Junagadh is expected to be operational by FY25, and Tigerland Safari – A Lemon Tree Resort in Chitwan, Nepal is expected to be operational in FY24 itself.
I also expect Lemon Tree to do record business this holiday season due to the continuous capacity expansion it has been doing recently, out of which many hotels are already operational. This surety is coming after I personally experienced a shortage of rooms in all premium hotels across India which are early signs of how happening all tourist spots are going to be.
Lemon Tree has opened doors to India’s largest hotel in Mumbai, Hotel Aurika which consists of 660 rooms and suites. This move is sure to add a lot to the top line as they had multiple wedding and corporate bookings even before they opened the hotel

As it was mentioned in concall, last quarter company did not increase price, focused on occupancy. Upcoming two quarters I believe they will increase price due to events and short supply with already increased occupancy rate. Looks disposable income is rapidly rising and people are spending on higher ticket spending such as occupying branded hotels, travel, buying luxury goods.

Fine performance from Lemon Tree.
Key points: -
Per mgmt, all India hotel occupancy stands at around 65% likely to increase to 70+ in the next 2 years with significant benefit likely for Lemon Tree.
Lemon Tree to focus more on retail customers than corporate
25% growth in 9M YOY seen on mgmt fees, which now contributes to ~13% of the revenue
The decrease in EBITDA margin Y-o-Y mainly due to planned increase in payroll and
renovation expenses and some impact of Aurika which is yet to stabalize
1.5 million loyalty members; 30%+ repeat customers
