Godrej Properties shares in focus after Rs 600 crore Panipat land deal

The licensed land, with a potential developable area of 3 million square feet, was acquired amid a wave of renewed developer interest in India’s Tier II cities. Two people aware of the matter told The Economic Times about the transaction. CBRE, which advised on the deal, declined to comment.

This latest move underscores Godrej Properties’ broader strategy to tap into the evolving real estate demand in emerging urban centres.

Godrej Properties’ latest acquisition reflects the growing appeal of Tier II cities, which are seeing increased traction from developers, corporates, financial institutions and investors. The surge in interest is being driven by the relatively low cost of land, ongoing infrastructure development, and robust housing demand. This has resulted in a rise in premium and luxury housing projects, both from established players and new entrants, as these cities emerge as the next hubs of growth and employment in India.

The company has been particularly active in Haryana. In October 2024, the company emerged as the highest bidder for a luxury group housing plot on Golf Course Road in Gurugram with a revenue potential of Rs 5,500 crore. The acquisition was made via an e-auction conducted by the Haryana Shehri Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP). Earlier in FY24, the company had also acquired two parcels measuring 5.15 acres and 2.76 acres in the same micro-market, also via HSVP auctions.
