Family offices bet Rs 2,000 cr on temple hotels
Mumbai: Family offices are investing in hospitality assets around major pilgrimage centres across India, from Deoghar and Mathura to Saurashtra and Udupi, opening a new frontier for the domestic hotel industry. From a Mumbai family office acquiring a nearly completed upscale hotel in Udupi to RR Kabel's investment in Salasar Balaji, family capital is flowing into branded hotels around India's biggest pilgrimage centres.Nearly Rs 2,000 crore has been committed across key religious destinations over the past 12-18 months, according to Noesis Hotel Advisors, as some of India's wealthiest business families turn their conviction in these destinations into a hospitality investment play.Also Read: Lemon Tree Hotels announces signing of MoU with Omaxe for operating 4,000 keysThe Udupi acquisition involves a nearly completed 137-room upscale hotel that will operate under a premium brand of Indian Hotels Company (IHCL). In Salasar Balaji, a family office is developing a 108-room property, while ITC Hotels has signed a 145-room Welcomhotel project on a six-acre site near the temple.135018616In Khatu Shyamji, Royal Orchid Hotels has signed a 120-room hotel with the Agarwal family, around 2 km from the temple.The deals signal a shift from traditional dharamshalas and independent lodgings towards branded, professionally managed hotels. IHCL, ITC Hotels, Sarovar Hotels and Radisson are among the operators expanding across religious markets.For Mahendra Kabra, managing director at RR Kabel, the investment in Salasar Balaji is driven by personal faith as well as commercial conviction.Also Read: Protests, traffic curbs in Delhi hit hotel businessResilience of Religious TravelI am a big believer in Salasar Balaji and go there every year. Instead of having a dharamshala there, I thought it would be better to invest in a hospitality asset in Salasar Balaji, he said. The hotel will be managed by Sarovar Hotels.The appeal for investors lies in the relative resilience of religious travel. A metro hotel lives and dies by corporate cycles; a pilgrimage hotel draws guests in good years and bad years alike, a representative of a Mumbai-based family office that recently invested in the segment said on condition of anonymity.Faith is India's most reliable demand generator, said Ajay Bakaya, chairman of Sarovar Hotels, an early entrant in several religious destinations. Occupancy is strong in these markets, according to him, particularly for mid-tier properties with 80-100 rooms. A lot of family offices also see development potential in investing in properties in such religious locations, he said.Much of the capital comes from regional trading, industrial and real estate families in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. Individual investments range from 60 crore for a midscale hotel to 150 crore or more for an upscale asset, according to Noesis Hotel Advisors.This is not speculative money. These are families who have watched pilgrim footfall in their own towns double in a decade and are now converting that conviction into branded, institutional-grade assets, said Nandivardhan Jain, founder and CEO of Noesis Hotel Advisors, which has advised on some of the deals. The capital is patient, it is local and it is backed by land the family already owns. That combination makes it one of the most stable sources of hotel equity in India today. Jain cautioned, though, that resilient demand and family-owned land do not guarantee a viable hotel. A temple is not a feasibility study, he said.Better roads, airports, expressways, and pilgrimage corridors are turning day-trip destinations into overnight stops, improving the economics of branded hospitality. For hotel chains looking beyond saturated urban markets, temple towns offer a growing pool of demand and relatively limited branded supply. For family offices, experts say the bet is on faith-an enduring reason to travel.

UP: Complainant turns out to be mastermind behind fake Rs 10 lakh robbery in Saharanpur
Digital Desk | Saharanpur, Oct 17 (IANS) In a sensational twist, police in Uttar Pradesh's Saharanpur district have claimed to have solved a Rs 10 lakh robbery, with the complainant himself emerging as the alleged mastermind behind the incident. The police said the robbery was fabricated to deal with a massive debt, and the entire amount allegedly looted was recovered from the complainant's vehicle. The incident took place on Saturday around 11.20 a.m. near a country liquor shop on the Gandewad-Raipur road under the Behat police station area. The police received information that four unidentified men had allegedly intercepted a car, pelted it with stones, assaulted its driver, Deepak Saini, at gunpoint and fled with Rs 10.10 lakh. Following the information received through the emergency helpline 112, the Behat police station team immediately swung into action. Superintendent of Police (Rural) Mayank Pathak, along with other police officials and the Special Operations Group (SOG), reached the spot and launched an investigation. During preliminary questioning, however, the police found discrepancies in the robbery complaint and decided to investigate the matter more deeply. According to SP Rural Mayank Pathak, Deepak Saini operated a private ATM service. During the investigation, the police discovered that the entire amount reported to have been looted was lying inside his own vehicle. On being questioned, Saini allegedly admitted that he was burdened with a debt of around Rs 10 lakh and had hatched the conspiracy to stage a fake robbery. Pathak said the complainant allegedly made a false emergency call to the police, claiming that he had been robbed by four armed men. Acting on the information, the police initially registered a case and began taking necessary action. However, the recovery of the cash from the vehicle exposed the alleged conspiracy. The police have taken action against the accused for allegedly staging the robbery and misleading law enforcement authorities.

UP moved from mafia terror to fear-free environment under BJP, says CM Yogi
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Oct 17 (IANS) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, Yogi Adityanath, on Saturday said that before 2017, the state was under the shadow of fear and chaos caused by criminals, but the BJP's double-engine government had established the rule of law and created a fear-free environment for people. Taking to social media platform X on the seventh day of Navratri, the Chief Minister extended his greetings to the people and invoked the divine form of Goddess Kaalratri to highlight the importance of eliminating evil, oppression and terror to establish justice, peace and security in society. Drawing a parallel between the goddess' victory over evil forces and the state government's approach towards crime, CM Yogi said Uttar Pradesh had witnessed a major transformation in its law-and-order situation since the BJP came to power in 2017. Before the year 2017, the fear and chaos born of terror by mafia elements akin to Raktabija, rioters, and criminals had cast a dark shadow over the state, erecting serious obstacles in the path of sisters and daughters' safety, education, and self-reliance, the Chief Minister said. He asserted that the government had worked consistently to curb criminal activities and strengthen the rule of law. Over the past 9.5 years, the Double Engine Government's zero-tolerance policy towards crime and criminals has suppressed these demonic forces, establishing the rule of law and a fear-free environment in the state, CM Yogi said. The Chief Minister also highlighted several initiatives introduced by his government to strengthen women's safety and improve their access to public spaces, educational institutions and workplaces. He said measures such as Mission Shakti, the Integrated 1090 Helpline, Women's Beat Policing and the Safe City Project had contributed to creating a more secure environment for women across the state. According to CM Yogi, these initiatives have helped extend security measures beyond homes to streets, schools, colleges, workplaces and other public places, enabling women to move around with greater confidence and participate more actively in social and economic activities. He further cited the reduction in police response time as evidence of improvements in the state's law-and-order machinery. The Chief Minister said that the average police response time, which stood at 65 minutes in 2016, had been brought down to just five minutes, describing the improvement as clear proof of the administration's promptness in responding to emergencies and its commitment to women's safety. Inspired by this very sense of security, women today are fearlessly working even in night shifts, he said, adding that a safer environment had helped women take up employment opportunities that might previously have appeared difficult to access. CM Yogi also referred to the rise in women's participation in the workforce, saying the increase reflected a broader change in the state's social and economic landscape. The rise in women's labour force participation from 12 per cent to over 36 per cent is proof that the state's feminine power, transforming into economic strength, is imparting new momentum to Uttar Pradesh's economic development, he said. The growing participation of feminine power in diverse sectors including agriculture, industry, services, and entrepreneurship has infused new energy into the state's journey of development. This very participation is also making a vital contribution to the threefold growth in Uttar Pradesh's GSDP and per capita income, the Chief Minister said. Reiterating the government's emphasis on law and order, women's safety and economic empowerment, CM Yogi said the transformation witnessed in Uttar Pradesh was linked to efforts to curb criminal activities and create conditions in which women could pursue education, employment and entrepreneurship with greater confidence.
