The parent company of Taj, Indian Hotels Company Ltd (IHCL), has finalized an agreement for its third property in Ayodhya – a brownfield project branded as an IHCL SeleQtions hotel. This addition complements the previously planned 100-room upscale Vivanta and a 120-room lean lux Ginger, both set to open by 2027. Puneet Chhatwal, IHCL’s Managing Director and CEO, mentioned that this strategic expansion is in line with the company’s objective to establish a notable presence in spiritual destinations.
The new SeleQtions hotel, developed in collaboration with KM Vyapar Ltd, is anticipated to feature 150 rooms on 1.3 acres near the airport, contributing to the burgeoning hospitality landscape in Ayodhya.
