Realty firm Godrej Properties has reported a 2% increase in its net debt during the September quarter, reaching Rs 7,572 crore, as the company focuses on land acquisition and future growth strategies. The company’s net debt stood at Rs 7,432 crore at the end of the June quarter, according to an investor presentation.
Godrej Properties has a strong presence in key markets, including Delhi-NCR, Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), Pune, and Bengaluru. As part of its expansion plans, the company is actively acquiring land and partnering with landowners to build a strong pipeline for future project developments.
In a bid to support its growth initiatives, Godrej Properties has announced plans to raise up to Rs 6,000 crore through the issuance of securities. The proposal was approved by the board last month, with the funds to be raised through equity shares, debentures, preference shares, or other eligible securities.
