Omaxe Enters Hospitality With 6,200 Crore Investment

Synopsis: Omaxe launches a dedicated hospitality vertical with a ₹6,200 crore investment plan to develop 19 hotels across five states, focusing on Ayodhya, Vrindavan, Lucknow and other high-growth destinations.

Omaxe Limited, the real estate developer, has slipped into hospitality mode by setting up a separate hospitality business vertical, and it also said an investment plan is around ₹6,200 crore. The company’s goal is to build 19 hotels spread across five states, over the next four to five years, and in a way this expands the portfolio beyond just residential commercial, and township developments.

The planned hospitality portfolio will cover close to 5 million square feet of hotel infrastructure across major city areas, pilgrimage hubs, and key transit corridors. This move echoes Omaxe’s overall strategy, which is to build more integrated developments. In practice, it combines hospitality assets with its existing ecosystem of townships, mixed-use projects, commercial destinations and urban infrastructure, more or less in one flow.

A pretty big chunk of the upcoming projects is going to be developed in Uttar Pradesh; it still stays a main focus market for the company. Omaxe is planning to set up 12 hotels across the state, with two properties each in Ayodhya, Kaushambi, and Vrindavan, plus additional hotels in Lucknow, Prayagraj, Ghaziabad, and Gorakhpur.

The company will also expand its hospitality footprint in other places, including New Delhi, Faridabad, Ujjain, Chandigarh, Amritsar, and Ludhiana. Through these moves, Omaxe is trying to build a presence across 13 cities in five states, and they’re aiming at business travel, leisure tourism, pilgrimage tourism, destination weddings, as well as MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) segments.

In the pipeline, one of the major projects includes a 158-key Gateway Hotel by IHCL, at The Omaxe State in Dwarka, New Delhi. It’s basically a big integrated destination, so yeah, the scale is pretty clear. The company is also looking at transit-oriented hospitality infrastructure across Uttar Pradesh through public-private partnership initiatives, not just one format, more like a broader approach.

Omaxe plan to run the investment in phases, depending on regulatory approvals, on how the project requirements fall out, and how the market conditions behave. The company is expecting the hospitality business to make its recurring income portfolio stronger, and it should bring around ₹1,000 crore in annual revenue once operations settle down and move past the initial stage.

This expansion seems to match the rising need for quality lodging in India, especially in places where tourism is picking up, infrastructure is getting built, and economic movement is happening. Areas like Ayodhya and Vrindavan have become more relevant because religious travel keeps increasing, while cities such as Lucknow and Delhi continue to pull demand from corporate travellers.

Omaxe Managing Director Mohit Goel said hospitality is a kind of natural extension from the company’s integrated development strategy, at least in his view. The company wants to craft well-placed hospitality destinations that sit in harmony with its ongoing projects but also, in a different way, help the economic growth of the cities it operates in.

The developer is also in discussions with domestic and international hospitality operators, for branding and management partnerships. With this kind of expansion, Omaxe wants to position itself as a diversified real estate player, with a stronger foothold in India’s growing hospitality space.
