Indian Hotels Company (IHCL), India’s largest hospitality company, has announced the signing of a Taj hotel in Mohali, Punjab. The upcoming property will be developed as a greenfield project, marking a significant addition to the company’s growing portfolio in the state.

Commenting on the development, Ms. Suma Venkatesh, Executive Vice President – Real Estate & Development, IHCL, said that Mohali’s rise as a major IT and commercial hub makes it a strong growth market for the company. She added that Punjab’s increasing popularity as a destination for weddings and social events aligns well with IHCL’s strategy of expanding into high-potential markets.

The 225-key Taj Mohali will offer uninterrupted views of the surrounding greenery. The hotel is planned to feature an all-day dining restaurant, a bar, and a specialty restaurant, providing guests with a diverse range of culinary experiences.

Leisure and wellness facilities at the property will include a swimming pool, a gym, a health club, and the brand’s signature J Wellness Circle. Designed to cater to large-scale events, the hotel will house over 26,000 square feet of banqueting space, making it the largest event venue in the region. This positions the hotel as a preferred choice for weddings, corporate events, and social gatherings.

Mohali, a planned city in Punjab, is known for its modern infrastructure and hosts several IT companies, educational institutions, and sports facilities, contributing to its steady growth as an urban and commercial centre.

With this signing, IHCL’s portfolio in Punjab will expand to 14 hotels, including seven properties currently under development, reinforcing the company’s commitment to strengthening its presence in the state.
