Birla Estates, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aditya Birla Real Estate, has launched its first residential project in Pune. In an exchange filing released in the post-market hours of March 17, the company announced that the project named 'Birla Punya' is estimated to have a revenue potential of Rs 2,700 crore.

The residential project, which is set to be developed in Central Pune (Sangamwadi), will be spread across 5.76 acres of land. It will offer 1,000 apartments ranging from 1 BHK to 4 BHK across four towers, as part of its 1.6 million square feet of saleable area. The company said that it is currently launching the first phase of the project with 500 units.

The company claimed that Birla Punya will have excellent connectivity to Pune’s key hubs, including Shivaji Nagar, Koregaon Park, and Pune International Airport. It will also have direct access to the Mula-Mutha Riverfront and proximity to metro stations. "Blending the city’s heritage with modern aspirations, the project exemplifies thoughtful planning and timeless elegance, establishing itself as one of the city’s most sought-after residential destinations," Birla Estates said in its exchange filing.

Speaking about the latest launch, Birla Estates Managing Director and CEO KT Jithendran said, "As Pune's real estate market continues to be on the rise, driven by its thriving IT ecosystem and strong infrastructure development, we see that there is a growing demand for premium homes. Moreover, as the cultural capital of Maharashtra, Pune is embracing a more elevated lifestyle, which serves as the inspiration behind our project's design. With Birla Punya, we aim to set a new benchmark for sophisticated living, offering a seamless balance of contemporary luxury and the timeless charm of Pune."

Birla Punya is also set to feature "retail villages", which would include alfresco food & beverage and retail spaces. "Birla Punya is committed to sustainable living with eco-friendly practices incorporating features like rainwater harvesting, solar power utilisation, and efficient waste management systems," the company said.

The price of the 2 BHK apartments set to be developed in the first phase of the project will start from Rs 1.75 crore, as per the company's website. The starting prices for 3 and 4 BHK apartments in the same phase have been set at Rs 3.40 crore and Rs 4.35 crore respectively.

The shares of Aditya Birla Real Estate closed in the red with marginal losses at around Rs 1,774 apiece. Notably, the announcement was made in the post-market hours of March 17. The stock will be kept under active watch on March 18 when the market reopens.

Besides the Sangamwadi project, the company has also focused on business development on the outskirts of Pune as well, having purchased a 16.5 acre land parcel in the eastern Manjri suburb as well.
