Alivaa Hotels & Resorts has officially entered the world of heritage hospitality with the addition of Heritage Lotwara Fort in Dausa, Rajasthan to its growing portfolio. This marks Alivaa’s 15th property and its first-ever heritage destination, signifying a meaningful leap in its hospitality journey.
Nestled along the banks of the sacred Banganga River, the 17th-century Lotwara Fort was built by Thakur Ganga Singh and is deeply rooted in the history of the Royal Amber and Jaipur States, representing the legacy of the Kilanot clan of the Kacchawa Dynasty. The surrounding village, fondly referred to as "Peacock Town" for its thriving peafowl population, offers visitors a tranquil blend of history, nature, and Rajasthani charm.
Meticulously restored by Thakur Giriraj Singh Ji, the fort today welcomes architecture and history lovers with regal accommodations such as the King’s Room and Queen’s Room, traditional courtyards, historic Kachehri, and ornate Chhatries, all set within 52,300 sq. ft. of royal elegance.
This expansion reflects Alivaa Hotels & Resorts' strategic intent to offer unique, culturally immersive experiences. By preserving and enhancing heritage destinations like Lotwara, Alivaa strengthens its footprint in tourism-rich regions like Rajasthan, while contributing meaningfully to heritage conservation.
“We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Heritage Lotwara Fort into The Alivaa Hotels & Resorts collection,” said Akash Bhatia, CEO – Alivaa Hotels & Resorts. “Venturing into the heritage segment comes with immense responsibility, and it's a responsibility we embrace with dedication.”
Vikramjit Singh, Founder of Alivaa Hotels & Resorts, added,
“The addition of Lotwara Fort is a testament to our vision of creating a diverse and captivating portfolio that caters to the evolving preferences of travellers.”
Mrs. Aventika Rathore, Proprietor of Shaurya Hospitality, expressed,
“Their expertise in hospitality management and commitment to excellence make Alivaa the ideal partner to ensure the fort retains its legacy while offering authentic experiences.”
Thakur Lokendra Giriraj Singh Lotwara, Owner of Heritage Lotwara Palace, shared,
“We are confident that Alivaa’s deep understanding of the hospitality sector will help preserve and elevate the legacy of Lotwara Fort for generations to come.”
With this historic addition, Alivaa Hotels & Resorts opens the gates to timeless Rajasthani hospitality, inviting guests to step into the pages of history—where culture, comfort, and heritage come alive.
Pune Gas, a leading provider of commercial and industrial gas systems in India, has launched its first Smart Gas Experience Centre in North India at Okhla, New Delhi. The new centre is part of the company’s expansion strategy and is its first owned facility and seventh overall.
Inaugurated by Mr. Jaisinh Sampat, Founder & Managing Director of Pune Gas, along with company executives Mr. Jesal Sampat, Mr. Bhaven Udeshi, and Mrs. Radhika Oza, the centre marks a significant step toward serving over 7.12 lakh commercial and industrial LPG users in North India. The hub will cater to markets across Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Uttarakhand, offering live demos, consultations, and end-to-end solutions for LPG and natural gas systems.
India's commercial and industrial LPG sector remains underutilized, accounting for only 16% of the nation’s 30,916 TMT LPG consumption in FY 2022–23. Many businesses still rely on polluting fuels such as diesel, kerosene, and wood. Pune Gas aims to change that with smart innovations like LPGenius, FuelFusion, and LeakCheck, all of which are showcased at the new centre.
LPGenius, India’s first smart LPG system, addresses key issues like cylinder freezing, reducing wastage by up to 4 kg per cylinder daily and improving productivity by 20–30%. Meanwhile, FuelFusion allows diesel generators to run on a dual-fuel mix without retrofitting, and LeakCheck offers modern gas leak detection for enhanced safety.
Speaking at the launch, Mr. Jaisinh Sampat said, “Delhi’s industrial relevance made it a natural choice for our expansion. With smart, clean energy systems, we aim to help businesses operate more safely, efficiently, and sustainably.”
Echoing this, Executive Director Mr. Jesal Sampat added, “Through our Experience Centres, we’re bridging the awareness gap and making future-ready gas systems more accessible than ever.”
The Delhi Experience Centre stands as a hub of innovation, empowering businesses across industries to embrace cleaner, smarter energy choices.
Experience Centre Address:
C-84, Okhla Industrial Area, Phase 1, New Delhi – 110020
