Realty developer Arvind, part of the Ahmedabad-headquartered Lalbhai Group, entered into an agreement with HDFC Capital Advisors earlier this month to set up a Rs 9 billion platform to undertake residential developments.

HDFC Capital Affordable Real Estate Fund-3 (HCARE-3) will invest Rs 6 billion, while Arvind SmartSpaces will infuse Rs 3 billion crore in this joint investment and development platform.
