Shriram Properties Plans Kolkata Expansion and Explores Rental Income Opportunities
Shriram Properties plans to expand its real estate operations in Kolkata, building on its nearly 20-year presence in Uttarpara after acquiring land from Hindustan Motors. The Bengaluru-based developer aims to explore large-scale projects in areas like Rajarhat and Alipore, potentially through joint ventures. With a construction pipeline of around 50 million sq ft through FY29, the company is also considering a premium shopping mall to generate rental income, marking a shift from its traditional sales model. Investments in Bengal are expected to continue growing alongside developments in other major cities.
