PRS Oberoi, chairman, EIH said, "It was expected that the global economy would recover in the financial year but that has not happened."

Oberoi however added that despite concerns about inflation and volatility in oil prices, domestic growth has been robust and this would reflect in demand for hotel rooms.

EIH added about 200 rooms and expects demand to improve in the National Capital Region this year (2011-12).

"We expect the overall outlook for the current year to be stable with a continuing revival of demand for hotel rooms that the last few months has seen," Oberoi said.
