What it means for the format
This is a small, fee-based management contract for IHG with little capital at stake and no revenue until 2031, so it supports the India pipeline story and the pilgrimage-demand thesis (visitors up from 79 million to over 90 million, about 14%) without moving near-term numbers.

- New hotel signings by rival chains in Vrindavan or Mathura
- Further IHG announcements with Vrindam Developers or in nearby pilgrimage markets
