Godrej Properties Ltd (GPL), India's largest listed real estate developer by sales bookings, has acquired a 47-acre land parcel in South Chennai for a plotted residential development with an estimated revenue potential of ₹500 crore, according to a company announcement on Tuesday.
The Mumbai-based developer, part of the 129-year-old Godrej Industries Group, acquired the site through an outright purchase. The company did not disclose the deal value, but said the project offers a developable potential of 1.2 million square feet comprising primarily plotted residential units.
Acquisition Details and Location
The land parcel is located off Old Mahabalipuram Road (OMR), a fast-growing micro market in South Chennai. The site benefits from proximity to employment hubs in the Siruseri-Kelambakkam belt, including the SIPCOT industrial area, as well as developing nodes such as Vandalur, Guduvanchery and the broader Mahabalipuram region. According to a regulatory filing, the location also has established social infrastructure covering healthcare, education, retail and entertainment.
Gaurav Pandey, Managing Director and CEO of Godrej Properties, said in a statement: "South Chennai is seeing a clear evolution in residential demand, with homebuyers increasingly gravitating towards well planned, future-ready communities that offer quality of living and long-term value." He described the belt as "one of the most promising residential micro markets in the region, supported by improving infrastructure and growing end user interest." The acquisition is expected to strengthen the company's presence in the Chennai property market.
Company Performance and Expansion Strategy
Godrej Properties emerged as the largest listed real estate developer in India during the last fiscal in terms of sales bookings, according to the company. For the fiscal year ended March 2026, sales bookings rose to ₹34,171 crore from ₹29,444 crore in the preceding year.
During the 2025-26 fiscal, GPL acquired 18 land parcels to develop housing projects, with a combined revenue potential of ₹42,100 crore, as part of its expansion plan to meet strong consumer demand.

Sustainability Leadership
Godrej Properties also highlighted its sustainability credentials. As of December 2025, the company said it was ranked the top real estate company globally on both the Dow Jones Best-in-Class Sustainability Indices and the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark. The company has delivered homes to over 100,000 families and describes itself as India's largest residential developer by both value and volume of homes sold.
The company's stock traded at ₹1,874.90 on the NSE on the day of the announcement, up 2.45% or ₹44.80, on a volume of 4 lakh shares valued at ₹74.50 crore. The market capitalisation stood at ₹56,479.87 crore.
Next Milestone
The Chennai project is expected to proceed with development planning and approvals. Investors will watch for further land acquisitions as GPL continues to expand its land bank, targeting total revenue potential of over ₹42,100 crore from its recent portfolio of acquisitions.
