Lemon Tree share rises: Shares of Lemon Tree Hotels Limited (LTHL) gained up to 2.82 per cent to hit an intraday high of Rs 134.45 per share on Wednesday, September 11, 2024.

In an exchange filing, the company said, “Lemon Tree Hotels announced its latest signing – Lemon Tree Hotel, Mira Road, Mumbai. The property, which shall be managed by Carnation Hotels Private Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lemon Tree Hotels Limited, is expected to open in FY2026.”

With amenities such as shopping malls, schools, and hospitals, Mira Road is becoming increasingly popular due to its excellent connectivity to Mumbai and its more affordable cost of living compared to the city centre.
