The state government plans to build three five-star hotels in the capital Patna in Public Private Partnership (PPP) mode, but due to short lease period, investors are not coming forward for the hotels. Now the government can consider increasing the lease period from 45 years to 99 years. These five-star hotels are to be built on the land of Bankipur Bus Stand located at Gandhi Maidan in Patna, by demolishing the old Hotel Patliputra near Income Tax Golambar and on the land of Sultan Palace near R Block. The responsibility of determining the rules, regulations and conditions for the hotel tender has been given to the Infrastructure Development Authority (IDA). A global tender will be issued for this soon. After that the further process will start.
Hotels will be built on PPP mode
On Thursday, a meeting of the Tourism Department was held with representatives of many big hotel groups regarding the five star hotel. It is the priority of the government to build five stars in Patna in PPP mode. Representatives of big hotel groups like Taj, Radiance, Ambuja and Mayfair were present in the meeting. In this, the representatives suggested increasing the lease period from 45 years to 99 years. Sources say that the Tourism Department has assured to consider the suggestion seriously. The department will put this issue before the government.
