IHG Hotels and Resorts (IHG) marked a pre-opening milestone for its hospitality development in Powai, Mumbai, with a traditional puja attended by the Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Devendra Fadnavis, and members of the K Raheja Group. The ceremony was held in partnership with the K Raheja Group and was attended by Vijayta Raheja, Nikhil K. Raheja and Sudeep Jain, managing director, South West Asia, IHG.

According to developers the project will comprise a dual hotel complex and a large convention centre designed to serve both business and leisure travellers. It is expected to feature around 300 keys, 13 meeting rooms, four food and beverage outlets and multiple indoor and outdoor event spaces. The facilities aim to cater to meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions demand in the city.

The development forms part of IHG’s strategy to expand its footprint in key urban markets through integrated hospitality formats. Positioned in Powai the project is intended to address growing demand for MICE and large scale events infrastructure across Mumbai. The partners indicated that integrated developments can unlock synergies between accommodation, conferencing and retail components.

Vijayta Raheja noted that Maharashtra remained a progressive and investment friendly state with focus on infrastructure and ease of doing business, and that such developments strengthened the state’s position as a destination for tourism and global investment. The Chief Minister underscored the role of the project in enhancing Mumbai’s credentials as a global hub for tourism and MICE. The development is expected to open in 2026 and will be integrated with surrounding urban infrastructure to support demand from domestic and international visitors.
