Maharashtra has contributed significantly when it comes to forming small, medium, large industrial sector of the country. The state is one of the leading states for exports and has set a benchmark for all other states in the current financial year. Prominent policies like ‘one point window policy’ along with other promotional activities for women entrepreneurs have played vital role in creating the ‘Magnetic Maharashtra’ 2.0.

I am certain that Maharashtra will be able to maintain its Numero uno position in the coming times as well.”

India is the world leader in cut and polished diamonds, exporting 94% of its production annually. 14 out of 15 diamonds set in jewellery worldwide are processed in India. The industry could achieve this through constant upgradation of technology. The sector has highly skilled workers who are the backbone of this sector.

Gem and jewellery industry is the bright star of the economy, contributing 7% to India’s total GDP and 12% to Merchandise Exports. For the further growth of the sector, GJEPC has been taking a host of initiatives such as setting up Mega Common Facility Centre in SEEPZ, and Jewellery Park in Mumbai.

 

GJEPC, as the apex body of the gem and jewellery trade in India, has been driving the export lead growth of the industry. Several initiatives for promotion of gem and jewellery domestically and internationally have helped the industry to be one of the most respected and renowned in the global market.

Maharashtra houses the world’s Largest Diamond Bourse in the world. Bharat Diamond Bourse is spread over a 20-acre plot, the Complex is home to some 2,500 small and large diamond traders in addition to the Custom House, banks and other service providers who cater to the gems and jewellery trade.

Sunteck Realty plans JDA to develop 10 mn sq ft at Shahad (Kalyan)

• The 50-acre project to see a potential development of approx. 1 crore sq ft (10 mn sq ft)
• Revenue generation of Rs 9,000 crore envisaged over the next 7-8 years
• To host a premium integrated residential development with aspirational luxury lifestyle

 

Sunteck Realty Limited, the BSE and NSE Listed premium property developer in Mumbai, plans to develop a marquee ~50-acre land parcel at Shahad (Kalyan). The company would develop an aspirational luxury integrated residential township in this location, under the asset light JDA model with Amar Dye Chem Ltd. This would be another exceptional acquisition by the company, establishing its presence in the Eastern suburbs of Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR).

 

The project is expected to generate a top line of around INR 9,000 crore over the next 7-8 years, further strengthening the cash flow and the balance sheet of the company. While Sunteck Realty has a very strong portfolio in the Western suburbs of the MMR, this project addition will strengthen the company’s portfolio in Eastern markets of the MMR as well.

 

Since the first wave of COVID-19 in 2020, Sunteck has been the largest acquirer of highly value-accretive projects in the MMR - a trend it sustains even today. In fact, the company has considerably accelerated the acquisition momentum post the 2^nd wave. This will be the fourth acquisition by Sunteck since the advent of COVID-19 pandemic. Before the Shahad (Kalyan) project, the company has done three project acquisitions at Vasai, Vasind and Borivali, totaling ~ 8 mn sq. ft. and this project will add another ~10 mn sq ft, thus, adding in total 18 mn sq ft to Sunteck’s portfolio.

 

“We are happy to announce this value –accretive joint development plan with Amar Dye Chem Ltd. In-line with the trends seen post the pandemic, there is a growing demand for good peripheral locations around major metros. Thus, we are pleased to announce our entry into MMR’s robust Eastern micro-market of Shahad (Kalyan). Market consolidation in favor of quality and well-funded real estate companies has been an ongoing trend and Sunteck has been a key beneficiary of this trend, continuously expanding its business portfolio with attractive return opportunities. We shall bring in our best-in-class construction and development capabilities and endeavor to create a landmark development in this micro-market,” said Mr. Kamal Khetan, Chairman, Sunteck Realty Limited.
