Shares of Godrej Properties are in the spotlight today after the Mumbai-based real estate developer announced its plans to develop a nearly 11-acre land parcel in Pune. This new project will primarily consist of Group Housing and High Street Retail, tapping into the burgeoning real estate market in Pune.
The development on this land is expected to have a developable potential of almost 2.2 million square feet, with an estimated revenue potential of Rs 1,800 crore. This move is seen as a strategic step by Godrej Properties to enhance its presence in key markets and capitalize on the growing demand for housing and retail spaces.
Adding to the momentum, Godrej Properties has also purchased approximately 7 acres in Thanisandra, North Bengaluru, to develop a high-end residential project. The Bengaluru project boasts a developable potential of nearly 9 lakh square feet and is projected to generate revenue of around Rs 1,200 crore. These significant acquisitions underscore the company’s aggressive expansion strategy and its commitment to strengthening its foothold in critical micro-markets across India.
The market has reacted positively to these announcements. On Friday, Godrej Properties’ stock ended 3.35% higher at Rs 3207.80 on the BSE. During the trading session, a total of 0.20 lakh shares of the firm changed hands, amounting to a turnover of Rs 6.23 crore. Consequently, the market capitalization of the real estate firm rose to Rs 89,195 crore.
The stock’s performance has been impressive, trading higher than its 5-day, 10-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages. Over the past year, the stock has gained a remarkable 102%, with a notable increase of 60.33% in 2024 alone. The share hit a 52-week high of Rs 3220 on June 28, 2024, and a 52-week low of Rs 1496.40 on August 14, 2023.
Hinjewadi is an important micro-market for us in Pune and we are happy to add this land parcel to our portfolio. This further enhances our presence in Pune and fits within our strategy of strengthening our presence across key micro-markets in India. We will aim to build an outstanding gated community that creates long-term value for its residents.
