Indian Hotels Company (IHCL) has unveiled the Taj Bandstand project, a new landmark poised to redefine Mumbai’s skyline. The Bhoomi Pujan occurred in the presence of the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Mr. Devendra Fadnavis, and Mr. N. Chandrasekaran, Chairman of Tata Sons.

Mr. Puneet Chhatwal, Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer at IHCL, said, “IHCL opened its first hotel – The Taj Mahal Palace, in Bombay in 1903 and has for over a century woven itself into the cultural fabric of the city. Taj Bandstand, a testament to this legacy will be the torchbearer of the iconic brand Taj for the next century. Envisioned to be a defining edifice of Mumbai’s skyline, this landmark development is a tribute to Mumbai’s spirit, its people, and its growing global prominence.”
He added, “We have received key pre-construction approvals including IOD and provisional Fire NOC. Upon receiving all approvals, IHCL expects to commence construction in 2025 and complete the project over the next four years.”

The Taj Bandstand, which will cover 2 acres, will include 330 rooms and 85 apartments, dining options, convention spaces, and world-class facilities. The project will also include developing and maintaining the surrounding area, which will feature landscaped gardens, sports and recreational activities, and entertainment options that honour the city’s cultural heritage.
