Srei partners with UP to rejuvenate Agra as iconic tourist destination

New Delhi, Feb 23 (UNI) Srei Advisory, a division of Srei Infrastructure Finance Limited (Srei), and the Uttar Pradesh Government has signed a Memorandum of Understanding announcing a new co-operation agreement to rejuvenate Agra as an iconic tourist-cum-holiday destination.
The proposal is expected to attract investments of around Rs 25,000 crore in the state of Uttar Pradesh.
The MoU was signed between Srei Advisory and the Department of Infrastructure and Industrial Development, Government of Uttar Pradesh.
Agra is not just about the Taj Mahal. Srei Advisory will facilitate in developing the city into a unique tourist destination for all types of travellers. The project will accentuate Agra's historical, cultural and heritage contours, promote lesser known monuments and temples, and expand tourists' focal point from the Taj Mahal to all the three World Heritage sites in the city.Srei Advisory will also assist the state government and its agencies in mobilising resources and catalysing investments for creation of necessary physical, social, hospitality and recreational infrastructure. Commenting on the development, Srei Advisory Senior Advisor Dr Ratiranjan Mandal said: "The Taj Mahal draws millions of tourists to Agra every year. Hence, we have a responsibility to ensure that the city is as good as you have heard. Also, the Taj Mahal is not the sole attraction. The legacy of the Mughal Empire has left a magnificent fort and several mausoleums.
The project will create necessary infrastructure in hospitality, transport, city and river front beautification, logistic parks and warehousing with active support from the Government of Uttar Pradesh, accordin to official statement here on Friday.
The project is expected to commence operations in financial year 2018-19, subject to necessary statutory approvals and clearances.
