Indian Hotels Company Limited has signed an agreement to build a 140‑room Taj resort in Barapani, Meghalaya, aiming to boost tourism in the region.
Indian Hotels Company Limited (IHCL) announced that it has signed a pact to construct a Taj-branded resort in Barapani, a hill station in Meghalaya. The project will feature 140 rooms, marking the company's latest expansion into the North‑East.
The resort is expected to cater to both domestic and international travelers seeking eco‑tourism experiences in the region's lush landscapes. By adding a high‑end hospitality offering, IHCL aims to tap into Meghalaya's growing visitor numbers.
State officials have welcomed the development, noting its potential to generate employment and stimulate ancillary businesses such as local transport, handicrafts, and food services. The project aligns with Meghalaya's broader strategy to position itself as a premium nature‑tourism destination.
Construction is slated to begin later this year, subject to regulatory clearances and environmental assessments. Once operational, the Taj Barapani resort will join a limited network of luxury hotels in the state, enhancing the overall tourism infrastructure.
