The investment covers three residential projects spread across 22 acres in Mumbai and Pune. The funding will support Mantra Group in acquiring two projects through the National Company Law Tribunal route, while also providing capital for an ongoing residential development.

The projects are located near the Jogeshwari–Vikhroli Link Road in Mumbai and in Pune’s Wakad and Mundhwa localities.
