Godrej Properties is expecting to launch a housing project in the national capital's Ashok Vihar region in the fourth quarter of FY23. The realty giant expects sales revenue to the tune of a whopping ₹8,000 crore from this project. The land parcel belonged to the Railway Ministry-backed Rail Land Development Authority (RLDA) which is responsible for the development of vacant railway lands for commercial use to generate revenue through non-tariff mediums. Godrej Properties Executive Chairman Pirojsha Godrej in an interview on Sunday stated that they are very confident about this project.
In the interview with PTI, Pirojsha revealed that Godrej is still awaiting the final approval to start the work and sales of its upcoming housing project at Ashok Vihar. He added that there has been good progress on the approvals and that they are still hoping for a Q4 launch (January-March).
According to Pirojsha Godrej, the total development potential of the Ashok Vihar project would come to around 4 million square feet. Godrej expects sales revenue of approximately ₹8,000 crore from the project.
Pirojsha Godrej is very confident about this project as the quality of the land is good because of those three parks in the (Ashok Vihar) area. He added in the interview, "We also have a good-sized plot to do a nice layout. Sales are the least of my concerns in this project. We just need to get the project going... I am sure we will be able to do well from sales perspectives."
