    • Mumbai, National Capital Region (Delhi), Bangalore, Pune, Hyderabad and Chennai; Locations with established demand.


    Focus Segment : Residential

    • 70% portfolio allocation to residential; ensure entry at land cost basis whilst ensuring 'affordability' metric.
    • No hospitality or retail on standalone basis.
    • Mixed use projects - 70% composition of residential project helps generating cash flows for commercial construction.
    • 30% commercial - objective is rental yield coupled with capital appreciation.

    Finance Strategy : Unlevered

    • Third party execution at fund's discretion.
    • Right to appoint Project Management Consultants (PMC).
