DLF, the country’s largest real estate developer by market value, today said that it has sold 49 per cent stake in eight residential projects to private equity players for Rs 1,675 crore.
The development takes place five months after the company raised over Rs 9,000 crore from its initial public offering.
The realty firm has sold the stake in seven residential projects to a Merrill Lynch entity for Rs 1,480 crore, making this as one of the largest foreign direct investments in the Indian real estate sector.
These housing developments, classified as mid-income by the company at a price point of Rs 55 lakh an apartment, are located at Chennai, Bangalore, Kochi and Indore. All these projects are expected to be developed in about seven to eight years.
