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.

The platform will create an overall revenue potential of up to Rs 5,000 crore excluding reinvestment potential,” said Vipul Roongta, MD & CEO, HDFC Capital Advisors.

The funds invested by both the partners will be utilised for construction and development of housing projects and townships mainly in the cities of Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Gandhinagar, Mehsana, Hyderabad, Pune and Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) or any other geography as may be decided mutually by them.
