GPL and DBR will individually contribute an additional 300 crore towards the equity platform concentrated on redevelopment opportunities in Mumbai. The planned SPV is yet to be included and will be installed at a later stage.

The equity platform will serve as a strategic special purpose vehicle providing GPL with ROFR (Right of First Refusal) for all slum rehabilitation and MHADA redevelopment projects to be recognised by DBR across Mumbai under a 50:50 equity association with 10% development management fees to GPL and a service fee equal to 5% of the income of the project to be paid to DBR by the SPV. They believe this strategic collaboration will permit each firm to utilise its complementary strengths to enhance the amount of successful slum rehabilitation and MHADA redevelopment projects in the city, Mohit Malhotra, MD & CEO, Godrej Properties, told the media.
