“The IHCL officials gave us a comprehensive presentation on their plans. I am very impressed with the vision and execution strategy. As per the proposal, this hotel is going to be among the best in India. We are hopeful that the project will be completed at the earliest,” Dr. Saha said.
Highlighting the timeline, he added that IHCL has indicated a completion target of May 2028. However, the state government has requested the company to accelerate construction so that the project can be finished before the upcoming elections.
