Gitanjali Group, under its wholly-owned subsidiary Gitanjali Infratech is developing aroud 8-lakh sq ft of land in suburban Mumbai, which includes a luxury residential project.

"We plan to develop around 4-lakh sq ft space each in Andheri East (commercial) and Borivali (residential). We are expecting around Rs 125-crore from the Andheri project, and around Rs 400-crore from the residential one," Gitanjali Group's Chairman and Managing Director, Mehul Choksi, told reporters on the sidelines of a FICCI event here today.

However, Choksi said revenues would flow-in only after 24-30 months as the properties would take some time to be developed.

Currently, of the 4-lakh sq ft area in Andheri about 1-lakh sq ft is being developed. The company is in the process of unlocking the value of the remaining space, Choksi said.
