Taj Chandigarh Launches In-House Water Bottling Plant Under Paathya Sustainability Initiative

Chandigarh: Taj Chandigarh has taken a significant step towards environmental responsibility with the launch of its in-house water bottling plant, reinforcing its commitment to sustainable hospitality under Paathya, IHCL’s comprehensive Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) framework.

The newly commissioned facility has the capacity to produce up to 1,000 bottles every day, substantially reducing the hotel’s dependence on externally sourced packaged drinking water. This initiative has already resulted in the elimination of approximately 3500 kg per month of plastic, contributing meaningfully to waste reduction efforts. By adopting this sustainable solution, Taj Chandigarh continues to minimize plastic consumption, optimize resource utilization, and lower its overall carbon footprint, while upholding the highest standards of guest safety and quality.

Commenting on the Environment Stewardship, Mr Surinder Singh, Area Director, Operations & General Manager, Taj Chandigarh, stated that sustainability remains a strategic priority for the hotel. He emphasized that such initiatives are aimed at creating measurable environmental impact by embedding responsible practices into everyday operations, without compromising on the guest experience.

The launch of the in-house water bottling plant reflects Taj Chandigarh’s sustained focus on delivering tangible sustainability outcomes. Guided by Paathya, IHCL’s ESG framework, the hotel continues to integrate responsible practices across its operations, enhancing efficiency and supporting long-term value creation.

Through initiatives like this, Taj Chandigarh reaffirms its commitment to contributing towards a cleaner and more responsible future, aligning luxury hospitality with environmental stewardship and conscious resource management.
