Mahindra Holidays & Resorts (MHRIL), India's leading vacation ownership and leisure hospitality company, has signed an MOU with the Government of Uttarakhand to invest Rs 1000 crore and build 4-5 large marquee resorts in Uttarakhand over the next few years.

Mahindra Holidays aspires to become a strategic partner of the state, supporting the Government of the United Kingdom in all of its tourism initiatives through the development of these resorts, which will contribute to the state's prosperity by offering direct employment opportunities.

This would be the biggest investment by MHRIL in any state in the country and part of its robust plans of expansion from 5000 to 10,000 keys by 2030 and is a testament to Devbhoomi-Uttarakhand and its variety of tourism destinations and experiences – whether it be religious tourism at Haridwar and Char Dhams, Wildlife at Rajaji & Corbett National Parks, Ski tourism at Auli, Adventure tourism at Rishikesh to name a few.

Uttarakhand is blessed with amazing destinations attracting people of different age groups from across the country and MHRIL aims to tap into this wanderlust.

Importantly, this investment will more than double its footprint in Uttarakhand, with Club Mahindra already operating resorts in Jim Corbett, Mussoorie, Kanatal and Binsar.
