Located on the Chennai–Bangalore Highway, the 156-room hotel is designed as a sustainable, future-ready destination for business travellers and large-scale events in one of South India’s fastest-growing industrial hubs.

Part of the Louvre Hotels Group, Sarovar Hotels marked the launch with the presence of Federico J. González, Board Director, Groupe du Louvre; K. Syama Raju, President, FHRAI; Ajay K. Bakaya, Chairman, Sarovar Hotels & Director, Louvre Hotels India; and Jatin Khanna, CEO, Sarovar Hotels.

Built with eco-sensitive design and low-impact construction techniques, the hotel reflects Sarovar’s long-term focus on responsible hospitality.

Speaking on the occasion, Federico J. González said, “India is a key strategic market for the Louvre Hotels Group, and Sarovar Hotels continues to play a pivotal role in our expansion here. The opening of Sarovar Portico Sriperumbudur reinforces our commitment to investing in high-growth destinations while also championing sustainability and innovation in hospitality.”

Ajay K.

From design to operations, Sarovar Portico Sriperumbudur represents our future-ready approach where guest comfort and environmental stewardship go hand in hand.”

Eros Hotel New Delhi is reinforcing its commitment to responsible water management during World Water Week 2026 by highlighting a range of initiatives focused on reducing water consumption, promoting mindful usage and recycling wastewater across its operations.

Organised annually by the Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI), World Water Week brings global attention to water-related challenges and the importance of responsible water management. The 2026 edition is being held from 23 to 27 August.

At Eros Hotel New Delhi, water conservation has been integrated across guest areas, kitchens, back-of-house operations and public facilities through a combination of water-efficient infrastructure and awareness initiatives.

The hotel has installed water-saving aerators across taps in guest room washrooms, kitchens and back-of-house areas to regulate water flow and improve consumption efficiency. Public washrooms feature sensor-operated taps, helping reduce unnecessary water usage, while guest rooms are equipped with dual-flush WC cisterns that allow guests to use water according to requirements.

The hotel's sustainability approach also focuses on creating greater awareness among guests and employees. Water conservation tent cards placed in guest rooms encourage visitors to adopt mindful water-use practices during their stay. Awareness posters across kitchens and back-of-house areas further reinforce responsible water consumption among employees and operational teams.

A key element of Eros Hotel New Delhi's water management strategy is the 100% recycling of wastewater. Treated recycled water is utilised for horticulture and cooling towers, reducing the hotel's dependence on fresh water for selected operational requirements while ensuring wastewater is put to productive use.

By combining water-efficient fixtures, wastewater recycling and awareness programmes, Eros Hotel New Delhi continues to integrate resource-conscious practices into its daily operations.

The initiatives reflect the hotel's broader approach to making water conservation a shared responsibility among guests, employees and operational teams while strengthening its ongoing sustainability efforts.
