Hospitality is one of the fastest growing sectors of the Indian economy (growth rate of 58% year on year). Lex Terrae helps to disentangle the complex legal regime of federal and state approvals and licensing to operate the Hotel with seamless operations.
As initiatives like ‘Bharat Parv’, ‘International Tourism Mart’, ‘Dekho Apna Desh’ and ‘Swadesh Darshan’ drive a new wave of hotel and resort development across India, every property built to meet that demand carries a regulatory footprint before its first guest arrives.
The hospitality sector operates under a dense set of licensing requirements: liquor licenses, fire safety clearances, FSSAI registration, labour law compliance, and local municipal permissions, among others. We advise hospitality businesses on securing and maintaining these approvals, as well as on management agreements, franchise structuring, and operator contracts.
Hospitality industry has properties that are typically long-term assets with ongoing regulatory obligations, compliance isn’t a one-time exercise it requires periodic review as regulations and local requirements shift over the property’s life.
