The counter-case
The case against this reading — not reported by the source.
The ₹1,800 crore headline reflects winning bids, not completed acquisitions or realized value. Court, lender and regulatory approvals could delay, alter or derail the transactions, while insolvency-era liabilities, capex needs and integration costs may make the effective purchase price materially higher. Premium hotel valuations also depend on sustained business travel, events and room-rate growth; a downturn in corporate demand or new luxury supply in Bengaluru/Pune could pressure returns.
