Hospitality firm Mahindra Holidays & Resorts (MHRIL) signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on September 14 with the government of Uttarakhand to build resorts in the state. The company, under the flagship brand Club Mahindra, will build four to five resorts for which the firm will invest Rs 1,000 crore, the company said in a release.
Mahindra Holidays aims to become a strategic partner of the state and will support the Uttarakhand government through the development of the new resorts.
