Indian Hotels Company Limited has announced the signing of a framework agreement with the Rajdarbar Group to develop seven new Ginger hotels across key markets in North India, strengthening the brand’s presence in the lean luxe segment. The partnership will add more than 1,000 rooms to IHCL’s portfolio over the coming years.
Commenting on the development, Suma Venkatesh, Executive Vice President Real Estate and Development at IHCL, said the agreement highlights the broad growth potential of the Ginger brand across a range of locations. She added that Ginger continues to find strong opportunities in metros, state capitals, commercial hubs, industrial centres, pilgrimage destinations and leisure circuits.
The seven properties will be developed through a combination of greenfield and brownfield projects. The collaboration has already taken shape with the opening of the 59-room Ginger Gurugram, Palam Vihar in Haryana, marking the first hotel under the partnership.
Under the pipeline outlined in the agreement, the new Ginger hotels will be introduced through fully fitted lease arrangements across destinations including Jaipur, Agra, Mathura, Vrindavan, Hisar and Karnal. Once operational, the additions are expected to significantly scale up Ginger’s footprint in North India while supporting IHCL’s broader strategy of expanding its presence in high-growth domestic markets.
