With the Uttar Pradesh government, headed by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, carrying out construction and beautification of roads, intersections, flyovers, parks, and hotels in Prayagraj ahead of the Maha Kumbh 2025, the city is witnessing an influx of national and international construction companies.
These companies have been camping in Prayagraj for several months, driving a significant demand for rental properties, hotels, and homestays to accommodate their officers and employees.
Local property dealers report a surge in inquiries for both well-furnished and unfurnished rental properties, as construction professionals seek long-term accommodation.
In response, many homeowners are converting vacant rooms and houses into homestays, offering lodging, meals, and other essential services to cater to the growing demand.
Restaurants and tiffin services are experiencing increased business as they cater to the needs of these temporary residents. This trend has not only bolstered the local real estate market but also provided a boost to the hospitality sector.
Preparations for the grand event of Sanatan faith are moving ahead at a rapid pace in Prayagraj.
Construction and beautification work is happening across the entire city, and not just in the Sangam area, as efforts are being made to make the event divine, grand, modern, and eco-friendly.
According to the CM’s instructions, all construction work must be completed by December 15. Both government and private construction companies are working hard to finish their projects on time, transforming Prayagraj into a city ready to host the massive religious gathering.
President of the Prayagraj Hotels and Restaurants Owners Association Harjinder Singh shared the excitement among local businesses as they prepare for the upcoming Maha Kumbh.
According to Singh, hotel and restaurant operators are upgrading their facilities to cater to the needs of visitors during the grand event. Many national and multinational companies have already booked rooms in the city’s hotels, with several officials having been staying there for weeks.
In addition to corporate bookings, there is a surge in inquiries and advance reservations from devotees and tourists eager to secure accommodations for the days of the Maha Kumbh.
