Hotelivate-Savills: India's branded hotels to add 161,074 rooms in five years, nearly 80% outside tier-1 markets

Our read

The Indian branded hotel industry will probably deliver much of the 161,074-room pipeline outside tier-1 cities, but openings will be staggered and pilgrimage markets are the likeliest to see oversupply.

For operators

Branded hotels are projected to add 161,074 rooms in five years, nearly 80% outside tier-1, with Tirupati's pipeline at 477% and Varanasi's at 442% of existing branded inventory, so operators there should expect fast supply build-up against FY26 occupancy of 68.1%.
