In Indore, the India-West Indies match has doubled hotel rents: a room costing 7,000 rupees is now 14,000 rupees, and a room costing 9,000 rupees is now 25,000 rupees; some have jumped up to two and a half times.

The hotel business in Indore has seen a surge ahead of the T-20 match between India and West Indies to be held at the Holkar Stadium on October 11th. The demand for rooms has increased five days before the match, and this has also affected room rates. A daily Bhaskar investigation revealed that the same room that was available for a certain rent on October 6th was available in many hotels on October 11th for almost double that price, and in some places, even higher.
