Raymond Realty to launch ₹14,000 cr projects in FY26, listing on July 1

Raymond Realty will launch six residential projects this fiscal in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region with an estimated revenue potential of about Rs 14,000 crore as the company looks to expand the property business amid strong demand.
In an interview with PTI, Raymond Realty CEO Harmohan Sahni announced that the company will get listed on stock exchanges on July 1, post demerger of the real estate vertical from Raymond Ltd, which will now focus on just the engineering vertical.
The demerger will position Raymond Realty to pursue its growth trajectory as an independent pure-play real estate business.
Sahni highlighted that the company has a huge land bank in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR).
"In 2019, we started our first project. In the last six years, we have built a significant presence at Thane and Mumbai in MMR," Sahni said.
"The total gross development value (GDV) of about Rs 40,000 crore is what our portfolio looks like today. Out of that Rs 10,500 crore worth of projects have already been launched," he added.
Sahni said the remaining projects would be launched in the coming years.
Asked about the pipeline for the current fiscal, Sahni said the company will launch six projects in MMR this fiscal with sales bookings potential of around Rs 14,000 crore.
The company will offer housing units in a price range of Rs 2 crore to Rs 20 crore in the upcoming projects.
Sahni said the company is focusing a lot on quality and timely completion of projects.
Since its inception, Raymond Realty has completed two housing projects, while six projects are under construction.
Mumbai-based Raymond Realty, one of the leading real estate firms in the country, sold properties worth Rs 2,314 crore last fiscal as against Rs 2,268 crore in the preceding year.
Raymond Realty's revenue rose 45 per cent to Rs 2,313 crore in 2024-25 from Rs 1,593 crore in the preceding year.
Sahni said the company is exploring acquiring more land parcels in MMR under joint development agreements (JDAs) with landowners. It also wants to enter the Pune residential market under the JDA model.
On the upcoming listing of Raymond Realty, the company said the demerger scheme has become effective from May 1, 2025, and the record date is May 14, 2025, for the purpose of determining the eligible shareholders of the demerged company, Raymond Ltd.
According to the scheme of arrangement, each shareholder of Raymond Ltd will receive one share of Raymond Realty Ltd for every share held in Raymond Ltd.
Raymond Group has been a pioneer and leader in fabric manufacturing since 1925, and then forayed into other sectors such as engineering business and real estate.
After demerging its lifestyle business into a separate listed entity in 2024, Raymond Ltd is now carving out the real estate vertical into a separate listed entity.

Pakistan discovers new oil and gas reserve in Sindh

Pakistan's state-owned Oil & Gas Development Company (OGDCL) exploration firm has discovered a new oil and gas reserve in the Sindh province. Experts reportedly said that the latest discovery shows that Pakistani soil still houses some untapped energy.(Reuters/Representative Image) The exploration firm made the discovery earlier this month at Kharo at its Faakir-1 wildcat well, said Field Operations officer Saleem Khan on Saturday. 'The discovery was made after drilling to a depth of 4,185 metres, the well tested at 6.4 million cubic feet per day of gas and 55 barrels per day of condensate from the Lower Goru formation,' Khan added. According to experts, the latest discovery shows that Pakistani soil still houses some untapped energy, news agency PTI reported.

It is a significant breakthrough and a step forward in tapping and finding new reservoir blocks," Khan said. Since last year, the ODCL has made at least two major discoveries; One in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province's Lakki Marwat, wherein gas and condensate reserves were found with an initial production of 2.114 million cubic feet of gas and 74 barrels of crude oil per day. Another discovery was when the firm found substantial oil and gas reserves in Attock, Punjab.

Last year in September, it was reported that Pakistan had found large deposits of natural gas and oil in its territorial waters after a three-year survey. A senior security official at the time had said that these reserves hold the potential to significantly boost Pakistan's economy and would be key in forming a 'blue water economy'. At present, Venezuela has the largest proven oil reserves in the world, holding more than 300 billion barrels, followed by Saudi Arabia, which has over 295 billion barrels in oil reserves.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Sunday said that all roads connecting Nashik will be developed and upgraded in view of the Simhastha Kumbh Mela in Nashik. A total of nine roads will be developed by the central government ahead of the religious meet in 2027 and as per the preliminary estimate, the work is likely to cost a further Rs 4000 crore. A high-level meeting regarding the highway connecting Nashik was held on Sunday in the presence of Union Road Development Minister Nitin Gadkari at Nagpur. Gadkari extended in-principle approval to the construction of necessary roads and facilities required for the upcoming Kumbh Mela to be held in Nashik as a huge crowd of devotees is expected to arrive, leading to a strain on the traffic system. It was decided that a Detailed Project Report (DPR) will be prepared soon and funds will be made available for this. The routes to be developed include, Ghoti – Pahine – Trimbakeshwar – Jawhar Phata; Dwarka Circle – Sinnar IC 21 (Samruddhi Expressway) Nandur Shingote – Kolhar; Nashik to Kasara; Savli Vihir (IC 20 Samruddhi Expressway) Shirdi – Shani Shingnapur Phata (Rahuri Khurd); Nashik to Dhule; Trimbakeshwar – Jawhar – Manor; Shadow Well – Manmad – Malegaon; Ghoti – Sinnar – Vavi – Shirdi; Shani Shingnapur Phata (Rahuri Khurd) – Ahilyanagar (Kharwandi Phata).The meeting approved the Nashik Ring Road. Along with this, it was decided to make the Nashik to Trimbak road six-lane. 'The cost will be calculated post preparation of the DPR. But the central government has assured all possible financial help as well,' said an official from the Maharashtra Public Works Department (PWD). He added, the estimated Rs 4000 crore is for the construction of roads and additional money will be required for the Nashik ring road project. 'Keeping in view the increasing interest of devotees towards Kumbh Mela and the expected crowd, I had requested Prime Minister Narendra Modi to provide assistance at the central government level for its successful planning and enabling infrastructure road development. As a result this meeting was held today,' said Fadnavis. There are eight important routes to Nashik from Mumbai, Gujarat, Palghar, Pune, Ahilyanagar, Sambhajinagar, Dhule. All these routes and the internal roads in Nashik city and the district also connect to the national highway. The meeting considered the development of all those roads. CM Fadnavis said that the expanded road network will provide more safe facilities to the devotees as it will handle the huge traffic expected during the Kumbh Mela.

‘We plan to add 1,700 beds by FY27; 57% beds likely in tier 2/3 cities'

Kochi- and Dubai-based Aster DM Healthcare, founded by Dr Azad Moopen in 1987 with a single clinic in Dubai, expects to complete the takeover of the Blackstone and TPG-backed Quality Care Hospital by the fourth quarter of this fiscal. The takeover will result in the third largest hospital chain Aster Quality Care, after Apollo and Fortis, with 38 hospitals across four brands -- Aster DM, Care Hospitals, KIMS Health and Evercare -- offering over 10,150 beds spread across 27 locations. Aster Quality Care is now jointly controlled by the Moopen family holding 24% and Blackstone owning 30.7%. In an interaction with Benn Kochuveedan of TNIE, Dr Azad Moopen shares his plans and expectations from the largest deal that his group has done. Excerpts: When do you see the merger of Quality Care Hospital getting completed? What are the targets in terms of revenue, profit expansion etc? The merger brings together four leading healthcare brands — Aster DM, Care Hospitals, KIMS Health, and Evercare — forming one of the largest hospital chains with 38 hospitals and over 10,150 beds across 27 cities. Financially, the merger strengthens the balance sheet and cash flow, enabling accelerated expansion plans. We aim to increase bed capacity to around 13,300 beds by FY27, further expanding our reach into tier 2 and 3 cities, providing a platform for sustained growth in the future. The merger is expected to be concluded by Q4FY26, with benefits expected to start flowing in from early FY27. What are the synergies you see from the merger? The merger unlocks significant synergies that will drive growth, operational efficiencies, and enhanced patient care across the combined network. Integrating our extensive hospital portfolios will allow the new entity to benefit from economies of scale by negotiating better terms with suppliers, reducing costs, and streamlining inventory management that will lower operational expenses and improve margins. What is the capex plan for fiscal 2026, especially in light of the merger-driven expansion? How many more hospitals and beds to come up this fiscal? We plan to add 1,700 beds by FY27, taking the total bed tally in India to over 6,800 through the organic route and will further look for expansion through the inorganic route. Our overall capital allocation for expansion across the domestic market is Rs 1,400 crore, of which we have already spent around Rs 350-400 crore. You have announced a Rs 850-crore investment in Kerala. What is the strategic thinking behind focusing so much on Kerala, which is often seen as a relatively mature market? Kerala is now poised for a significant transformation with a planned investment of Rs 850 crore over the next three years. This expansion will be anchored by two major greenfield projects: Aster Capital Trivandrum, a 454-bed tertiary care facility, and Aster MIMS Kasaragod, a 264-bed multispecialty hospital. In addition, our flagship hospital, Aster Medcity in Kochi, is undergoing a substantial upgrade. By FY27, our total bed capacity in Kerala is expected to reach 3,453, marking a milestone in our journey of delivering quality healthcare and driving sustainable growth. Affordable healthcare remains a chimera for the average citizen. What is Aster doing differently on this front? To balance affordability and sustainability, we centralise complex procedures in larger hospitals, while smaller units focus on primary/secondary care. By FY27, as much as 57% of our planned bed additions will be in tier 2/3 cities, reinforcing our commitment to these regions. Technology is key to bridging gaps, with telemedicine set to grow at 20.7% annually till FY30, reaching $15.1 billion. Our digital health arm is expanding tele-ICU, teleradiology, AI-driven diagnostics, IoT monitoring, and EMR platforms to enhance accessibility, affordability, and quality care nationwide. What are the digital initiatives of the group? Some of our technology-driven, patient-friendly initiatives include the introduction of the Aster Health app that offers appointment bookings, e-pharmacy, and access to digital health records. We have come up with AI-powered diagnostic solutions, including the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome detection tool in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Science. We are also expanding the home healthcare services under Aster@Home, providing in-home consultations, diagnostics, and physiotherapy, catering to India's growing elderly and chronic care populations.
