We are confident in maintaining our current momentum and will continue to expand. We want to do very high-quality development focused on the end customer experience,” said Vachani.

MaxVIL will launch its first residential project by mid-2023. “We are positioning our first residential project in Noida Sector 128 … we are thinking a total of not more than 250 units, with more focus on the green area,” Vachani said.
