New Delhi, Dec 3: The Indian Hotels Company Ltd on Wednesday has said the group has adequate insurance cover to repair and restore the damage caused to its property, The Taj Mahal Palaces and Towers in Mumbai, during the last week's terrorist siege.

The custody of the hotel, which suffered significant damages during the assault by terrorists, was handed over to the company management on December 2 and external agencies have been contracted to assess the damage, The Indian Hotels Company Ltd said in a statement.

"Our company has in place adequate insurance cover. We are working with reputed agencies to sanitise and repair the hotel to be in a position to re-open the Tower wing on a priority," the company said.

It added that according to preliminary inspections, "the Tower wing of the hotel has not suffered any significant damage, while the Heritage wing suffered from the impact of severe assault". PTI
