Although the five upcoming initiatives are expected to bring in a total of Rs 3,800 crore, Sasalu noted that the brand is hoping to generate an additional Rs 700–800 crore from previous launches.

The final four developments would be situated in Chennai, Kochi, East Bengaluru, and North Bengaluru. Sasalu anticipates that the five projects will be finished in 3-5 years.
