Restaurant India News: IHCL and Gulshan Group Partner to Launch Taj Hotel in Noida

Gulshan Group has partnered with Indian Hotels Company Limited to develop a Taj hotel and Taj branded serviced apartments in Noida, with a total investment of approximately Rs 1,000 crore. The project is expected to generate overall revenue of around Rs 2,000 crore and is positioned to become the tallest Taj hotel in India.

The greenfield project will be located in Sector 129 along the Noida Expressway, reflecting increasing interest from hospitality and real estate players in high-growth urban corridors within the National Capital Region. The collaboration signals a continued push toward integrated developments that combine hospitality and residential offerings.

Gulshan Nagpal, Chairman, Gulshan Group, said, “This collaboration represents more than a partnership — it is a convergence of two legacy-driven brands committed to excellence. Bringing Taj to Noida under Gulshan’s vision is our way of shaping the city’s luxury narrative and delivering an address that will stand as a benchmark for generations to come. We are investing INR 1,000 crores to not only make it iconic but also one of its kind branded serviced apartments in India.”

Yukti Nagpal, Director, Gulshan Group, added, “This project is our statement to the industry — reimagining luxury beyond traditional boundaries by blending the glamour of hospitality with the magnanimous scale of real estate. At Gulshan Group, we are driven by trust, design integrity, and a long-term vision. In partnership with Taj, we are envisioning what we believe will be India’s tallest Taj — a global-standard address destined to become one of the most iconic landmarks in the country.”

Puneet Chhatwal, Managing Director and CEO, IHCL, stated, “India is among the top five global economies, and the rising affluence levels are leading to demand for luxury products and services, including branded residences in urban centres. The unveiling today of this landmark development of a Taj hotel and branded residences will set a benchmark in luxury in the National Capital Region. We are delighted to progress this partnership with the Gulshan Group.”

The project reflects a growing trend of mixed-use developments that integrate hospitality assets with branded residences to maximise revenue streams and asset utilisation. Such formats are gaining traction in metro and emerging urban markets due to increasing demand for premium living and hotel-backed services.

The development will include a Taj hotel with 150 rooms and 74 Taj branded serviced apartments. The hotel will feature multiple dining options, including an all-day dining restaurant, a bar, and two specialty restaurants. Event infrastructure will include an 8,000 sq. ft. ballroom along with meeting spaces, catering to both corporate and social gatherings.

The project will also incorporate wellness and recreational facilities such as a swimming pool, gym, health club, and Taj’s J Wellness Circle. The serviced apartments, sized at approximately 7,500 sq. ft., will offer access to a dedicated residents’ club with amenities including landscaped areas, recreational spaces, and an infinity pool.

The partnership highlights the continued expansion of luxury hospitality brands into the NCR region, driven by rising demand for premium accommodation, business travel infrastructure, and branded residential offerings.
