India Tourism Development Corporation

The India Tourism Development Corporation (ITDC) is a hospitality, retail and education company owned by the Government of India, under the administration of the Ministry of Tourism. Established in 1966, it owns over 17 properties under the Ashok Group of Hotels brand, across India.

One of the hotels the government developed was the Akbar Hotel in Chanakyapuri, which was built from 1965 to 1969. It remained a hotel until the mid-1980's when it was converted into office space. There were plans in 2007 to convert it back into a hotel in time for the 2010 Commonwealth Games.
