Omaxe Ltd, one of India’s leading real estate developers, has announced a landmark partnership with The Indian Hotels Company Limited (IHCL) to launch India’s first integrated stadium-hotel and elite members-only club at The Omaxe State, Dwarka. This collaboration brings together luxury hospitality, sports, retail, and lifestyle experiences under one roof.

The centerpiece is a 158-key luxury hotel featuring 40 exclusive stadium-view suites inside the International Cricket-cum-Football Stadium, a first in India, offering guests an immersive match-day experience. An additional 108 luxury rooms in the adjoining premium club building cater to Delhi’s business and leisure elite.

Spread across 50.4 acres, The Omaxe State is developed under a PPP model with the Delhi Development Authority and is divided into five lifestyle districts: Sports, Hospitality, Food, Social, and Shopping. Anchored by a 30,000-seater ICC & FIFA-standard stadium, the destination combines sports, retail, leisure, and entertainment seamlessly.

IHCL will also operate a 250,000 sq. ft. elite members-only club, among the largest in India. Inspired by global benchmarks like The Bay Club (Mumbai) and private city clubs in London and Dubai, the club features signature restaurants, lounges, private bars, Olympic-standard pools, a spa, wellness centre, co-working zones, library, bowling alleys, indoor and outdoor sports facilities, gymnastics and boxing arenas, and state-of-the-art banqueting facilities.

Strategically located near Bharat Vandana Park and Yashobhoomi, Asia’s largest convention centre, The Omaxe State is set to attract global conferences, exhibitions, and sporting events.

“The Omaxe State is not just a project; it is Delhi’s most ambitious destination. By partnering with IHCL, we are setting new benchmarks for hospitality, sports, and urban entertainment. From stadium-view suites to exclusive club privileges, this collaboration will redefine the capital’s lifestyle and leisure landscape,” said Mr. Mohit Goel, Managing Director, Omaxe Ltd.

Scheduled for completion by 2027, The Omaxe State is projected to generate revenue of Rs. 4,200 crore over its lifecycle while creating direct and indirect employment across hospitality, retail, sports, and services. With a local population of 30 lakh within 10 km and potential footfall comparable to Dubai Mall or Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, it is set to become a landmark destination in Delhi NCR.

In every kitchen across Tamil Nadu and beyond, groundnut oil has always held a special place. More than just a cooking medium, it has become a trusted part of daily life, energising the body, protecting the heart and nerves, and strengthening immunity with its natural Vitamin E, calcium, and iron. With healthy fats at its core, groundnut oil is more than food; it is a way of life.

Carrying forward this legacy with pride is MANI & CO., the makers of Sikaram Groundnut Oil. For over seven generations, the brand has stood as a symbol of quality, purity, and health, remaining true to its roots while meeting modern-day expectations.

A Legacy Spanning Seven Generations

The journey of Sikaram is deeply tied to a family legacy built on trust and tradition. It all began before Independence, when Mr Subbaiah laid the foundation. He was succeeded by Mr Kallavendan, followed by Mr Ramaiah, then another generation led once again by Mr Subbaiah. The tradition was carried forward by Mr Kallavendan and later by Mr Balasubramanian, who formally established MANI & CO in 1984 and introduced the Sikaram brand. Today, the baton rests with Mr Karthick, the seventh-generation torchbearer, who continues to uphold the family’s vision while taking the brand to newer heights.

Mr. Karthick, Managing Director, MANI & CO

“Even before Independence, our family had stepped into this field. What my ancestors began as a small venture, my father, Mr. Balasubramanian, transformed into MANI & CO. and built the Sikaram brand. Today, we continue to move forward on that strong foundation. The trust of our customers across generations is our greatest strength,” says Karthick.

Purity in Every Drop

The making of Sikaram oil reflects both tradition and modern innovation. The journey begins with carefully handpicked groundnuts sourced directly from farmers and wholesalers. After cleaning and de-husking, the oil is extracted using the Cold Press method at low temperatures, ensuring that nutrients remain intact. This method preserves essential vitamins and minerals, making every drop of Sikaram a natural choice for those seeking health and wellness in their daily lives.

Commitment to Sustainability and Farmers

For MANI & CO., sustainability is not just a practice, it is a responsibility. The groundnut cake, a by-product of oil extraction, is repurposed as cattle feed and natural fertilizer, ensuring zero waste and supporting agriculture. By working directly with farmers, the brand not only ensures quality raw materials but also contributes to improving farmers’ livelihoods. “Our growth is tied to their prosperity, and that is something we deeply value,” adds Mr.Karthick.

A Symbol of Trust and Well-being

Over the years, Sikaram has become more than an edible oil brand, it is a heritage. Generations of families have believed in its promise:
“Wherever there is Sikaram, health and happiness are assured.”

With its unique blend of tradition, purity, and health benefits, Sikaram Groundnut Oil continues to inspire trust while shaping healthier lifestyles. As Mr.Karthick reflects, “Sikaram is not just a product, it is our culture, our commitment, and a way of life.”
