Next three years, the company has another 8 million square feet being developed primarily in Bangalore and Ahmedabad. “We are focused on the mid-income residential segments in these two cities and we have recently made a foray into Pune,” said Lalbhai.
The company is focused on the residential space. We are seeing a lot of traction in the mid-market space and affordable housing segment is an area we are already in, he said.
He believes that the government’s focus on home ownership will create a lot of primary demand. “We will definitely be in the affordable and the mid-income residential space,” he added.
Speaking about letters of undertaking (LoU) instrument, he said we use all kinds of ways to raise capital but the LoU instrument is negligible. So it has no impact on the company.
