In Bengaluru, ARIIL's Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), a 70% wholly-owned subsidiary, has entered into a Joint Development Agreement for a 69% stake in a residential project located strategically in Electronic City Phase 2. This project, with a total development potential of 2.43 lakh sq.ft., is anticipated to contribute INR 150 crores to the top line.

Dhaval Ajmera, Director at Ajmera Realty & Infra India Ltd, commented on the strategic significance of these residential projects, stating, "The two residential announcements accelerate our objective of achieving our 5X growth as we strengthen our portfolio and prominence in the central suburb of Mumbai and in the Bengaluru market."
He highlighted the attractiveness of central Mumbai suburbs, particularly for first-time homebuyers, and emphasized their commitment to serving the affordable housing market. ARIIL anticipates robust sales leveraging their established presence in the central Mumbai belt, expanding from Wadala to Ghatkopar to Vikhroli, and now venturing into Bhandup.
Regarding the Bengaluru project, Ajmera noted the surge in residential demand in Electronic City, attributing it to the robust resurgence of the IT sector. The strategic location of the project positions ARIIL to reinforce its legacy in the city by capitalizing on the growth opportunities presented.
These residential developments aim to meet the evolving needs of homebuyers, contributing to the creation of new landmarks in their respective areas. ARIIL's recent endeavours align with their commitment to establishing a presence in newer micro markets, marking a significant stride in shaping the company's growth trajectory.
