Mahindra arm narrows focus to 3 cities
Mint New Delhi|December 24, 2024
Mahindra Lifespace Developers Ltd, the realty arm of the Mahindra Group, will pause fresh investments in the Delhi-National Capital Region (NCR) region, and narrow operations to markets where it can create a niche as a 'net zero' developer.

"We have exited two cities completely, Nagpur and Hyderabad, and we are holding back any investment in Delhi-NCR right now," said Amit Kumar Sinha, managing director and chief executive at Mahindra Lifespace. Location and price points matter as the company is focusing on sustainable living and net zero buildings, he said.

Sinha told Mint that success in Mumbai doesn't easily translate to other parts of the country. "Approvals, construction need a lot of local understanding of players, contractors, etc. So I want to consolidate our market position in three cities," he said.
