Srinagar, Aug 27: Alkhuddam Hajj & Umrah Services has been included in the Category-I list of Haj Group Organisers (HGOs) approved for Haj 2027, following a three-year bar on its Haj services.
The list of approved HGOs for Haj 2027 was released on August 22, 2026, and includes Alkhuddam Hajj & Umrah Services among the Category-I operators.
The Ministry of Minority Affairs, Government of India, Haj Division, has released the list of 986 HGOs in different categories.Of the total 986, Alkhuddam Hajj & Umrah Services has once again managed to secure the Category-I title.

This moment is not just a professional achievement for me—it is a sign of Allah’s mercy, a ray of hope returned, and a response to sincere duas made in hardship and uncertainty,” he said.
Sidiq said the approval was both an honour and a responsibility, adding that the company would undertake the responsibility with sincerity, dedication and respect for the faith of the pilgrims it serves.
He thanked the Ministry of Minority Affairs for once again placing its trust in Alkhuddam, besides expressing gratitude to patrons, well-wishers, friends, family and the wider fraternity for their support and prayers during the difficult period.
