Lemon Tree Hotels Limited has issued a clarification to the National Stock Exchange of India Limited and BSE Limited regarding a news item published on www.moneycontrol.com on January 7, 2026. The report, citing CNBC-TV18, suggested that Warburg Pincus might acquire a stake in Lemon Tree Hotels, leading to a 5% share price increase.
The company categorically denies any ongoing negotiations, discussions, agreements, or proposals concerning an acquisition by Warburg Pincus, whether from APG Strategic RE Pool or otherwise.
