Juniper Hotels Limited has received a Letter of Award (LoA) from the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) on March 02, 2026, after being declared the successful bidder for license rights to a prime land parcel measuring 2.52 acres in Sector 23, Dwarka, New Delhi.

Juniper currently operates Andaz Delhi, a leading luxury hotel located within the Aerocity cluster. The hotel comprises 401 rooms and 129 serviced apartments (Hyatt Delhi Residences) and has consistently outperformed its competitive set in Average Room Rate (ARR) growth, supported by strong business travel and increasing MICE activities further supported by rising Foreign Tourist Arrivals.

The upcoming 5-Star Luxury Hotel is expected to feature approximately 500 keys, F&B outlets, banqueting as well as some commercial space. With this development Juniper's total inventory in the NCR region to over 1,000 keys. The project aligns with the Company's strategic focus on developing large-scale "big box" hotel assets in high-demand urban corridors.
