J&K’s Largest ‘Mall of Srinagar’: Manoj Sinha Lays Foundation Stone, Emaar’s Mall To Open by 2026

Jammu & Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Sunday laid the foundation stone of the first international mall in Jammu and Kashmir, ‘Mall of Srinagar’, to be built by UAE-based Emaar Properties and Magna Waves Buildtech. The state’s largest 10-lakh-sqft mall, at Sempora in Pampore, is expected to open its door to residents of the city by 2026.

“The construction of the mall began with the laying of the foundation stone by Manoj Sinha, Hon’ble Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir, on March 19 at Sempora, Pampore,” according to a statement released on Sunday.

The 10-lakh-sqft project will offer a world-class experience to the residents of Jammu and Kashmir and is likely to become a major attraction for thousands of tourists visiting Srinagar from across India. The project’s world-class development will include a mall, six cinema multiplex, five-star hotel, and a multi-use commercial and residential complex, according to the statement.

A spokesperson from Magna Waves Buildtech said that being the largest-ever mall built in the state, over 1,000 people are expected to be hired during the course of construction. Once operational, the mall will create 13,500 new jobs in Jammu and Kashmir.
