Ganpati Group to Build Rs 250 Crore Sheraton-Branded Hotel in Lucknow
Ganpati Group is investing Rs 250 crore in a new hotel in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, in partnership with Sheraton Hotels and Resorts. Three outlets — Safari India, HospiBuz and Construction Week India — all reported the development on 22 October 2026, with consistent figures across all three headlines. No further details on timeline, room count or construction scope were available from the source material at the time of writing.
Projects India already tracks two other Ganpati Group developments: a tourism and recreation project at Bandhavgarh, Umaria in Madhya Pradesh (value not recorded), and a hotels and restaurants project at Shastri Park, Delhi, valued at Rs 200 crore. The Lucknow announcement represents the group's largest disclosed hotel investment on record in the Projects India database.

Uttar Pradesh's Growing Hotel Pipeline
Lucknow sits within Uttar Pradesh, which accounts for 68 of the 1,013 Hotels, Restaurants and Resorts projects currently tracked by Projects India nationally — placing it fifth among all states by project count. Maharashtra leads with 167 tracked projects, followed by Andhra Pradesh (78), Karnataka (74) and Gujarat (70).
Uttar Pradesh has drawn sustained capital interest from hospitality investors in recent periods. For context on the broader state pipeline, UP's tracked hotel investment pipeline has topped Rs 44,250 crore, underpinned by religious tourism circuits and infrastructure upgrades across the state. Lucknow, as the state capital, is a natural focal point for branded hotel development within that pipeline.
Where the National Hotel Pipeline Stands
Across the 1,013 hotel, restaurant and resort projects tracked by Projects India, the stage breakdown reveals a substantial volume of work approaching or in active construction. Of all tracked projects in the sub-sector:
- 288 are in Planning
- 275 are at Construction Started
- 223 are Under Approvals
- 121 are Completed
- 32 are on Hold
- 26 are at Early or Announced stage
Combined, the Planning and Under Approvals categories account for more than 500 projects — a forward pipeline of potential construction and procurement activity that suppliers and contractors can monitor. Only two projects were added to the Hotels, Restaurants and Resorts sub-sector in the last 90 days, suggesting the Lucknow announcement joins a still-selective recent additions list. There are currently no open India tenders in the broader Construction Projects sector.
The wider investment climate for Indian hospitality remains active. Hotel investment in India surged 197% to $497 million in the first half of 2026, reflecting appetite from both domestic groups and international brand partners — a pattern consistent with the Ganpati-Sheraton tie-up in Lucknow.
Other Recent Projects in the Sub-Sector
Among recently tracked comparable projects in the Hotels, Restaurants and Resorts sub-sector, several are at similar or more advanced stages:
- A new hotel project at Amaravati, Andhra Pradesh, promoted by Varun Hospitality Services Private Limited, valued at Rs 330 crore, is at Construction Started stage.
- A 5-Star Resort Project at Koraput, Odisha, promoted by Swosti Premium Limited, also valued at Rs 250 crore, is currently Under Approvals.
- A Hotel Block expansion at Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, promoted by Apeejay Surrendra Park Hotels Limited, valued at Rs 100 crore, is Under Approvals.
- A Radisson Blu Hotel expansion at Guwahati, Assam, promoted by DS Assam Hospitality Limited, valued at Rs 119.59 crore, is at Construction Started stage.
These projects illustrate the active tier of Rs 100–330 crore branded hotel developments currently moving through the national pipeline, within which the Ganpati Group Lucknow project sits.
What this means for suppliers and contractors
A Rs 250 crore greenfield branded hotel in a state capital typically generates procurement and contracting opportunities across civil construction, MEP works, interiors, FF&E supply and specialist fitout — though no scope breakdown has been disclosed for this project at the announced stage.
Suppliers and contractors active in Uttar Pradesh should note that 68 hotel and hospitality projects are already tracked in the state, and this project adds to that pipeline. With 511 projects nationally sitting in Planning or Under Approvals, the forward order book for hotel construction work across India remains substantial. Firms looking to position early should monitor the Lucknow project for tendering activity as it progresses from the announced stage toward approvals and construction. All tracked projects are available via the Projects India database.
