They also remained the highest occupancy markets in the country, with occupancy levels in the range of 77–81%. Ahmedabad recorded the strongest year-on-year occupancy growth (10–12 pp) among key Indian hotel markets in April 2026, driven by sustained performance, indicating steady underlying demand despite market-level divergence.
