As per LiveMint’s report, the latest announcement builds on the initial agreements signed by the MOPA Airport developer in July this year to establish two new hotels on land in North Goa.

Citing people aware of this matter, the report stated that the second hotel will be developed by IHCL-owned Ginger or Taj Property.

Encalm Hospitality currently operates several airport spa facilities, meet and greet services at Delhi airport along with multiple brands, including Encalm Lounge and pay-and-use premium business-class traveller lounge at Delhi’s international airport.

It manages a 70,000ft² lounge space in Delhi and a 17,000ft² space in Hyderabad.

The hospitality company aims to operate three hotels and 21 lounges by 2025.

Encalm may also restructure and raise institutional capital to support its future expansion plans, which is in line with India’s Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia’s 2022 announcement on the Civil Aviation Ministry’s plans to boost the number of airports from 140 to 220 by 2025.
