In short
Harrods Health manufactures private-label hotel toiletries in Ambala, Haryana, and supplies hotels across India by road. Because we are a domestic manufacturer, Indian hotels buy without import duty or customs clearance and receive a GST invoice for every supply.
We make shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, 2-in-1, body lotion and hand wash in miniature bottles, tubes, sachets, dispenser bottles and 5 L refills, plus spa massage oils. Each product can carry your hotel's name and artwork, and we manufacture and decorate packaging in-house. This page is the starting point for Indian buyers; the regional pages below cover what changes from one part of the country to another. For the full service, see our hotel toiletries page.
Who we supply in India
India's hotel market is unusually wide. A single buyer may be responsible for a luxury city hotel, an upper-upscale resort, several midscale business hotels and a branded budget chain at the same time. We work with hotel group procurement teams, independent owners, management companies and hospitality distributors, and also supply heritage hotels, homestays, serviced apartments, hospitals and corporate guest houses that need consistent toiletries at a sensible cost per room.
Why buy from a domestic manufacturer
- No import duty or customs. Imported amenities carry duty and clearance time; goods made in Haryana do not.
- GST invoice on every supply. Your accounts team receives a proper tax invoice with HSN codes. Whether your hotel can claim input tax credit is a question for your chartered accountant.
- Road transport across India. Consignments move by road with the paperwork the journey requires, including e-way bills where they apply.
- One source for every format. Minis, sachets, dispensers and refills come from the same facility, so scent and colour stay consistent across properties.
Regional guides
Climate, property mix and scent taste differ sharply across the country. Choose the page that matches your properties.
| Region | Typical properties | What shapes the brief |
|---|---|---|
| Delhi NCR | Business, airport and MICE hotels, serviced apartments | High room turnover, conference volumes, nearness to Ambala |
| Mumbai and Maharashtra | City business hotels, weekend resorts around Pune and Lonavala | Coastal humidity, compact bathrooms, weekend peaks |
| Goa | Beach resorts, villas, boutique stays | High humidity, salt air, seasonal stocking |
| Rajasthan | Heritage palace hotels, desert camps | Dry heat, dust, traditional scent stories |
| Kerala | Ayurveda resorts, houseboats, hill stations | Monsoon humidity, wellness positioning |
| Bengaluru and South India | IT business hotels, coffee-estate and hill resorts | Long-stay corporate guests, cooler hill climates |
Formats for every segment
Luxury and upper-upscale hotels usually choose miniature bottles or tubes in a signature scent. Midscale and business hotels often move to wall-mounted dispensers to control cost and plastic. Budget and branded budget properties frequently use sachets or dispensers. Bulk 5 L refills from our bulk packs range keep dispensers topped up across a portfolio. Browse the complete hotel amenities collection to compare options.
Regulation in brief
Cosmetics made in India fall under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 and the Cosmetics Rules, 2020, and manufacture requires a licence from the State Licensing Authority. Harrods Health holds a state FDA cosmetic manufacturing licence and an AYUSH licence, and operates an ISO certified, GMP-compliant facility that is Halal certified and US FDA registered. Labels carry the details the Cosmetics Rules require, such as product name, manufacturer name and address, licence number, batch number, manufacturing date and ingredients. Declarations such as MRP and net quantity are governed by the Legal Metrology (Packaged Commodities) Rules, and complimentary amenities may be treated differently from retail packs, so confirm how yours are classified before artwork is fixed. Details are on our quality and certifications page.
Plastic matters too. Identified single-use plastic items have been prohibited since July 2022, and at the time of writing the central list does not name hotel toiletry bottles. Extended producer responsibility for plastic packaging is a separate obligation, and some states add rules of their own. Our guide to sustainability and single-use plastic in hotel amenities sets out the options.
Your branding, made in-house
We print hotel names and logos on bottles, tubes, sachets and cartons, and we can build a signature scent so the room smells the same in every city. See custom packaging for decoration methods. Ingredient lists, manufacturing documentation and, where formulas are supplied as dermatologically tested, test reports are available on request.
How to start
Send us your property list, formats and approximate room numbers. We quote minimum order quantities per item, prepare samples and confirm a delivery plan by road for each location.

Hotel Amenities · India
Hotel amenities by region in India
Climate, property mix and scent taste differ sharply across India. The notes below set out what changes for hotels in each region we supply by road from Ambala.
Delhi NCR
Delhi NCR is driven by corporate travel, government business, conferences and flights. Ambala is on the main road corridor into the capital region, so NCR hotels are among the closest properties we serve. That makes smaller, more frequent deliveries practical, with smaller buffer stocks rather than months of amenities in a basement store.
- Airport hotels: wall dispensers with 5 L refills, or minis, for one-night stays and rapid housekeeping turns.
- MICE and convention hotels: dispensers in rooms and hand wash in public areas. Our hand wash is a cosmetic cleanser, made and labelled without germ-kill or antibacterial claims.
- Serviced apartments: larger dispenser bottles for long stays.
- Hospitals and guest houses: sachets or dispensers in mild formulas.
Delhi swings from hot, dry summers to a humid monsoon and cold winters, and many hotels move to a slightly richer lotion in winter. Business hotels tend towards clean, fresh scents such as citrus, green tea, light woods and soft musk. See our guide to refilling dispensers hygienically.
Mumbai and Maharashtra
Maharashtra holds three markets. Mumbai has luxury, business and airport hotels and many compact budget hotels where vanity space is tight, so slim minis, tubes or dispensers suit. Pune has business hotels, serviced apartments and branded budget chains that often choose dispensers with 5 L refills. Lonavala and the Ghats have weekend resorts that fill on Fridays and holidays and run quiet midweek.
- Humidity: sea air and heavy monsoons can lift paper labels and soften cartons. We select labels and closures with humidity in mind. Keep cartons raised, sealed and rotated first in, first out.
- Stocking: road delivery from north India takes planning, so hold a buffer and order ahead of the festive season and the monsoon.
- Plastic: Maharashtra has issued its own plastic notifications over the years, so check current state rules before finalising packaging.
Business hotels tend to choose citrus, vetiver and green notes; Ghats resorts lean towards fresher, rain-forest and floral profiles. Our hotel amenity packaging guide explains material choices.
Goa
Goa mixes beach resorts, family resorts, boutique hotels in Portuguese-era houses, villas run by rental managers, homestays and midscale hotels near the airport and towns.
- Villas: large dispenser bottles with 5 L refills, branded with the management company's name, keep restocking simple across many homes.
- Boutique houses: decorated minis or tubes with a story about the house.
- Homestays: sachets or dispensers; a distributor can combine orders and we can pack by property.
- Resort spas: massage oils in bulk packs that can share a scent with room toiletries. Describe aroma and feel, not health benefits.
Coastal humidity stays high for much of the year, so keep stock sealed, off the floor and away from sea-facing walls. Beach guests notice a conditioner that detangles salt-dried hair and a light, generous body lotion. Coconut, frangipani-style florals, lime, lemongrass and marine notes work well. The season peaks around Christmas and New Year and the road journey from Ambala is long, so order well before it. Check current Goa state plastic rules too. See massage oil manufacturing.
Rajasthan
Rajasthan's palaces, forts and havelis sit alongside lakeside hotels in Udaipur, desert camps near Jaisalmer and the Thar, and wedding and business hotels in Jaipur.
- Palace and haveli hotels: decorated minis or premium tubes. We print crests, monograms and motifs on bottles, tubes and cartons in-house.
- Desert camps: dispensers or sachets and a rich body lotion, stored away from direct sun and heat.
- Wedding and business hotels: dispensers and 5 L refills for large group arrivals.
- Spas: massage oils in bulk packs. Whether an oil is supplied as a cosmetic or as an Ayurvedic product affects its label and claims, so we agree that at the brief stage.
Dry heat and dust call for a richer lotion and conditioning care. Popular scent briefs include rose, sandalwood, vetiver (khus), saffron-like warm notes, jasmine and spice. Describe them by aroma and sensation, not as a remedy. Rajasthan is within reach of Ambala by road, so plan deliveries ahead of the cool-season peak and the wedding calendar. See our guide to building a spa and resort amenity range.
Kerala
Kerala's hospitality is built around wellness and nature: Ayurveda resorts with longer treatment-led stays, backwater houseboats, beach resorts, plantation stays in Munnar and Wayanad, and city hotels and hospitals in Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram.
- Ayurveda resorts: guests bathe after oil treatments every day, so shampoo and shower gel must remove massage oil without feeling stripping. We tune cleansing strength during sampling.
- Massage oils: whether an oil is a cosmetic or an Ayurvedic product determines its licence, label and permitted claims, so we settle that before production.
- Houseboats: sachets or compact dispensers. Operators often keep a dry store on land and send small quantities to each boat.
- Hospitals and city hotels: dispensers and sachets in mild formulas.
Two monsoons and high humidity mean cartons should stay sealed, raised and used first in, first out. Coconut, vetiver, sandalwood, lemongrass and cardamom suit the wellness image, but a cosmetic should be described by scent and feel, not as a remedy. Kerala is a long road journey from north India, so order ahead of the peak season and the monsoons. See our spa and resort amenity range guide.
Bengaluru and South India
Bengaluru and Hyderabad are technology hubs with business hotels, serviced apartments and branded budget chains. Chennai adds manufacturing, port and healthcare traffic. Many guests stay for weeks, so we tune formulas for repeated daily use.
- Bengaluru: dispensers with 5 L refills; larger bottles for long stays.
- Hyderabad: dispensers, with minis for executive floors.
- Chennai hospitals and guest houses: dispensers and sachets in mild, lightly fragranced formulas. Labels can stay plain for clinical settings.
- Coorg and Ooty: signature-scent minis and a richer lotion for the cool, misty climate. Estate names and illustrations can be printed on packs.
City business hotels often choose citrus, green tea, jasmine accents, sandalwood and light woods. Estate resorts suit coffee-inspired, cardamom, eucalyptus, pepper and forest-green scents. The southern cities are a long road journey from Ambala, so we plan larger consolidated loads and suggest buffer stock before the monsoons. Several southern states have issued their own plastic rules, so check current state notifications. Our guide to miniatures, dispensers and bulk refills compares formats.

Hotel Toiletries Manufacturer for Hotels in India FAQ
Q.Do Indian hotels pay import duty on your toiletries?
No. We manufacture in Ambala, Haryana, so domestic supplies carry no import duty or customs clearance. GST applies according to the HSN classification of each product.
Q.Can hotels claim input tax credit on amenities?
That depends on your hotel's GST position and how the goods are used. We issue a proper GST invoice; your chartered accountant should confirm eligibility.
Q.Do complimentary amenities need MRP on the label?
Not necessarily in the same way as retail packs, but do not assume an exemption. Confirm how your amenities are classified under the Legal Metrology rules before artwork is approved.
Q.Which parts of India do you deliver to?
We supply hotels across India by road, from Delhi NCR and Rajasthan to Goa, Kerala and the southern cities. Remote properties need more lead time.
Q.Do you make dental kits, shaving kits or slippers?
No. We manufacture liquid toiletries, body lotion and spa massage oils, and we print hotel branding on their packaging. Accessory kits and slippers need a separate supplier.
Q.How quickly can you deliver to Delhi NCR?
Ambala is relatively close to the capital region by road, so NCR is one of our shorter routes. We confirm a delivery date with each order rather than promising a fixed number of days.
Q.When should Goa resorts order for the season?
Well before the season begins after the monsoon. Road transport from north India is a long route, so plan ahead and hold a buffer rather than ordering in the final weeks.
Q.Can our toiletries be labelled Ayurvedic?
Toiletries are normally made as cosmetics. An Ayurvedic product has a different licence and labelling route, so we decide which applies at the brief stage and avoid medical claims either way.
Q.Do some states have extra plastic rules for hotel bottles?
At the time of writing the central single-use plastic list does not name hotel toiletry bottles, but Maharashtra, Goa and some southern states may have their own notifications. Check the current state rules before finalising packaging.
Q.What suits houseboats and desert camps?
Sachets or compact dispensers, because storage is limited. Keep houseboat stock sealed and use older cartons first, and store desert camp stock away from direct heat.
