Brigade Hotel Ventures Limited has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Government of Tamil Nadu at the Tamil Nadu Global Tourism Summit 2026. The signing took place in the presence of the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, M. K. Stalin, marking a significant step toward strengthening the state’s hospitality ecosystem.
Under the MoU, Brigade Hotel Ventures Limited has committed an investment of Rs 1,100 crore to enhance tourism and hospitality infrastructure across Tamil Nadu. As a result, the proposed investment is expected to create employment opportunities for more than 1,000 people. At the same time, the initiative aligns closely with the summit’s objective of attracting private capital into tourism, hospitality, and leisure developments across the state.
Commenting on the development, Vineet Verma, Director, BHVL, said, “This MoU is part of our commitment to bring the best of hospitality to Chennai and reflects our shared vision with the Government of Tamil Nadu to transform Chennai into a premium destination for global business and leisure travellers. By adding over 500 keys across three world-class brands, we are not only expanding our portfolio but also contributing to the state’s economic growth through the creation of substantial employment. Our goal is to set new benchmarks in hospitality while supporting the government’s mission to enhance tourism infrastructure and destination development across this vibrant state.”
Currently, the company operates Holiday Inn Chennai OMR IT Expressway through its subsidiary, SRP Hotel Ventures Limited. The hotel began operations in April 2017 and features 202 keys, establishing Brigade’s existing footprint in Chennai’s hospitality market.
Looking ahead, Brigade Hotel Ventures Limited plans to add more than 500 new keys across three upcoming properties in Chennai as part of its expansion strategy. These projects include Courtyard by Marriott at Chennai World Trade Centre, Grand Hyatt Chennai ECR, and JW Marriott Chennai OMR. Importantly, Brigade Group has already acquired land for all three developments.
Courtyard by Marriott at Chennai World Trade Center will feature around 45 guest rooms and will be located approximately 13 km from Chennai International Airport. Meanwhile, Grand Hyatt Chennai ECR will operate as a resort-style property with about 211 rooms. Additionally, JW Marriott Chennai OMR will comprise nearly 250 guest rooms and suites, further strengthening the city’s premium hospitality offerings.
Brigade Hotel Ventures Limited’s partnership with the Government of Tamil Nadu underscores a strong public–private collaboration aimed at accelerating tourism-led growth. With significant capital investment, large-scale job creation, and the addition of globally recognized hotel brands, the initiative is poised to elevate Chennai’s position as a leading destination for both business and leisure travel while contributing meaningfully to the state’s broader economic and tourism development goals.
