Radisson Hotel Group has announced the signing of four new Park Inn & Suites by Radisson hotels in India as part of its strategy to strengthen its midscale presence in emerging cities. The newly signed properties will be located in Roorkee, Meerut, Asansol, and Navi Mumbai (Airoli), reinforcing the group’s focus on expanding into high-potential markets where demand for reliable branded hospitality continues to grow.

The signings come at a time when domestic travel is increasingly driven by regional cities that are evolving into education hubs, industrial clusters, social-event destinations, and growing business districts. These markets often experience strong demand but remain underserved by internationally branded hotels.

Park Inn & Suites by Radisson plays a central role in the group’s India-focused expansion strategy. Designed as a midscale brand for fast-growing cities, it offers a flexible development model, efficient operations, and a balanced mix of rooms, dining, and event facilities suited to local demand.

Roorkee in Uttarakhand has emerged as an important education and industrial hub, anchored by IIT Roorkee and supported by private universities, manufacturing industries, and a historic defence cantonment. Park Inn & Suites by Radisson, Roorkee is scheduled to open in the second quarter of 2027 and will be located on NH-344, providing convenient connectivity to Haridwar, Meerut, and the wider Delhi NCR region. The hotel will feature multiple dining options, a rooftop specialty restaurant, and spacious indoor and outdoor event venues suited for business travellers, weddings, and large social gatherings.

Meerut, a key industrial and commercial centre in western Uttar Pradesh and part of the National Capital Region, has witnessed strong growth in sectors such as manufacturing, handicrafts, and defence. Park Inn & Suites by Radisson, Meerut, expected to open in the first quarter of 2029, will be located on National Highway-58. The property will offer modern guest rooms, multiple dining outlets, meeting facilities, and a dedicated outdoor lawn designed for corporate events, weddings, and leisure travellers.

In West Bengal, Asansol is a major industrial city supported by coal mining, steel industries, and the operations of Eastern Coalfields Limited. The region also sees strong wedding and social-event demand due to nearby religious centres such as the Kalyaneshawari and Ghagar Buri Chandi temples. Park Inn & Suites by Radisson, Asansol, scheduled to open in the first quarter of 2029, will be located on the Delhi–Kolkata Highway. The 75-key hotel will feature contemporary rooms, an all-day dining restaurant, a rooftop specialty bar, meeting and event facilities, a gym, and a swimming pool.

Navi Mumbai’s Airoli district has rapidly developed as a major commercial extension of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, attracting corporate offices, multinational companies, and Grade A office developments. Park Inn & Suites by Radisson, Navi Mumbai (Airoli), expected to open in the third quarter of 2028, will be located near Airoli Road and close to Digha railway station. The hotel will include an all-day dining restaurant, a bar, and meeting facilities designed primarily for corporate, MICE, leisure, and short-stay travellers.

Nikhil Sharma, Managing Director and Chief Operating Officer, South Asia, Radisson Hotel Group, said, “India’s travel growth is increasingly being driven by emerging cities that bring together education ecosystems, industrial development, social infrastructure and expanding corporate activity. Many of these markets, however, remain underserved by quality branded hospitality despite strong and sustainable demand fundamentals. Our latest Park Inn & Suites by Radisson signings reflect a deliberate and long-term strategy to address this gap by introducing a trusted, internationally recognised midscale brand to cities where demand spans business, leisure and large social events.”

Davashish Srivastava, Senior Director, Development, South Asia, Radisson Hotel Group, added that each of the four markets presents distinct demand drivers but shares the common factor of limited branded hotel supply.

Owners of the newly signed properties also highlighted the potential of their respective cities and the value of bringing an internationally recognised hospitality brand to these locations to serve growing business, leisure, and social-event demand.

Through these signings, Radisson Hotel Group continues to expand its presence across India’s emerging travel corridors while strengthening its portfolio with brand offerings tailored to evolving market needs.

Jivraj9 Tea Group Contributes ₹12.5 Lakhs to Assam CM Relief Fund for Flood Relief Efforts

Reinforcing its strong connection with Assam and the communities that are an important part of India’s tea ecosystem, Jivraj9 Tea Group has contributed ₹12.5 lakhs to the Assam Chief Minister’s Relief Fund.

The contribution aims to support relief and rehabilitation efforts for communities affected by the recent floods in Assam. For Jivraj9 Tea Group, this initiative goes beyond a corporate social responsibility effort, reflecting its commitment to giving back to a region that has played a significant role in the tea industry.

The company believes that Assam’s contribution to the tea sector extends beyond tea production, with its people, communities and ecosystem forming an essential part of the industry’s journey.

Viren Shah, Chairman & Managing Director (CMD), Jivraj9 Tea Group, said “Our relationship with Assam is rooted in tea, but it goes beyond the tea that is sourced from the region. It is a relationship with the people, communities and ecosystem that have made Assam such an important part of India’s tea story. We have always believed that when a region contributes to your business and your industry, you have a responsibility to contribute back to it as well. Our contribution to the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund is a small step from our side towards supporting the relief efforts and the people affected by the floods.”

Sharing his thoughts, Pathik Shah, Executive Director (ED), Jivraj9 Tea Group said “Our responsibility does not end with producing and delivering quality tea. It also extends to recognising and supporting the ecosystem that makes our industry possible. Assam has given enormously to the identity and strength of Indian tea. At a time when people across the state are facing difficulty, we wanted to contribute towards the collective relief effort in whatever way we could.”

Assam remains one of the most important tea-growing regions in India, with its unique geography, climate and rich tea heritage shaping the identity of Indian tea. The state has supported generations of communities whose livelihoods are closely connected with the tea industry.

Jivraj9 Tea Group’s association with Assam reflects its connection with the origins and value chain of the tea it delivers to consumers across India and international markets.

Through this contribution, the company continues to focus on building meaningful relationships across the tea value chain while supporting the communities and regions that play an important role in its journey.
