GAP Group Highlights Dholera’s Hospitality Requirements
Gopal Goswami, Chairman of GAP Group, said,
“Dholera is entering an important phase of development, with several ongoing and upcoming industrial projects creating new opportunities. As business activity grows, there will be a greater need for hospitality facilities to serve investors, business travellers and other visitors. Hyatt Place Dholera is an important step in meeting this need, and we believe it will support the region’s growth in the years ahead.”
Ambrish Parajiya, Managing Director of GAP Group, said,
“GAP Group has been part of Dholera’s development journey since commencing operations in 2014. As the first private developer to begin development in the Dholera Activation Zone, we have witnessed the region’s progress over the past decade. We believe that Dholera’s next phase of growth will require infrastructure that supports not only industry and commerce but also the people who will live, work and do business here. Hyatt Place Dholera is an important step in that direction. We remain confident in the region’s potential and plan to invest ₹2,500 crore in Dholera by 2030 across residential, commercial and industrial developments.”
Dholera’s Infrastructure Development Supports Hospitality Investment
Located along the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC), Dholera SIR is being developed as a smart industrial city with planned infrastructure and multimodal connectivity. The Ahmedabad-Dholera Expressway and the proposed international airport are expected to improve access as industrial and commercial activity expands.
As Dholera advances, demand for quality hospitality facilities is expected to grow alongside industrial development. Hyatt Place Dholera aims to address this requirement by combining accommodation with meeting spaces, dining and leisure facilities.
For GAP Group, the project represents a step towards supporting Dholera’s evolution into a destination equipped to accommodate businesses, investors and visitors as the region’s economic activity develops.
