India-based ITC is set to acquire the Park Hyatt Hotel, Goa, for around Rs5.15bn ($83m).

Said to be the highest bidder for the property, ITC has already paid Rs1.28bn ($20.5m) to acquire the Blue Coast Hotels-owned, 250-room hotel, PTI reported.

According to financial institution IFCI, which was a lender to Blue Coast Hotels, ITC needs to pay the remaining sum within a period of 15 days.

"ITC will acquire the land and built-up area of the property, in addition to all buildings and structures, as well as plant and machineries."

The five-star deluxe property has been put for public auction over its dues, under the provisions of the Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act 2002.

Under the terms of the deal, ITC will acquire the land and built-up area of the property, in addition to all buildings and structures, as well as plant and machineries.

Established in 1992, Blue Coast operates hotels and resorts, including a five-star deluxe beach resort at Arossim Beach in Goa.
