It has been yet another milestone year with lots of development. Many hotels and resorts have come under the Cygnett umbrella from various locations. So far, we have added 300 keys and will be coming up with six new properties.
Our units in Itanagar and Gangtok will be operational soon and the rest will be operational within a span of five to six months.

We are in the process of introducing new hospitality concepts to maximise value for customers and investors.
