Our core markets remain resilient, with occupancy levels continuing to rise. For Q2 and H1 FY25, occupancy stood at 75%, reflecting the ongoing demand for our assets.

The transactions in Bangalore Whitefield and Hyderabad Hitec City will drive substantial growth in our Upper Upscale and Upscale inventory, contributing to the premiumization of our existing portfolio and increasing our market share in key office markets.
 
Looking ahead, we remain focused on near-term growth driven by strong demand for our existing assets, the strategic re-rating of portions of our portfolio following renovation and rebranding efforts, the addition of new inventory, and continued M&A activity.”
