Taj Hotels Resorts and Palaces is extending its presence into the rapidly developing township of Gurgaon, with the proposed development of a 200-room premium business hotel. The premium hotel Gurgaon is expected to be ready for operations by the year 2010. The Company has entered into a management contract with HB Estate Developers Ltd for this property. Located in Sector 44 of Gurgaon, the hotel will showcase modernity through its architecture and interior design. The project would stand out in the cornucopia of modern and traditional architecture that is rapidly emerging today in Gurgaon. In an area battling with increasing paucity of water and energy, Hotels division intends to make this property completely energy efficient and ecologically friendly.

One of the satellite towns of Delhi, Gurgaon is best known as one of India's most prominent outsourcing & IT companies. A plethora of BPO and KPO  firms such as Hewitt Associates, Genpact, Convergys, Accenture & Aricent dot the cityscape. A few IT and pharmaceutical firms also exist in the city. Several auto-manufacturing facilities also exist, though they do not dominate the city's economy in the manner they did a decade ago. The outsourcing boom has led to a rapid growth in employment prospects and local wages in Gurgaon, leading to a mushrooming of shopping malls, swank restaurants and entertainment facilities. Demand for such lifestyle options is driven by the demographic shift to a younger, more cosmopolitan, more affluent and better educated population.
