Jaypee Infratech to invest Rs 6,000 crore to complete 20,000 homes in three years
NEW DELHI: Suraksha Group-controlled
Jaypee Infratech
on Thursday said it will invest around Rs 6,000 crore over the next three years to complete stalled housing projects, comprising 20,000 units, and assured homebuyers that it would adhere to the deadline promised in the approved resolution plan.
In June last year, Mumbai-based
Suraksha Group
took control of Jaypee Infratech Ltd (JIL) by constituting a three-member board. Sudhir V Valia, promoter of Suraksha Group, was appointed as a non-executive director on the JIL board.
The takeover followed the insolvency appellate tribunal NCLAT decision on May 24 last year, upholding Suraksha Group's bid to acquire JIL. The NCLAT had directed Suraksha Group to pay an additional Rs 1,334 crore to
Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority
(YEIDA) as farmers' compensation.
In a press conference held at
Noida
, JIL CEO Abhijit Gohil said, "We want to assure homebuyers that we will abide by whatever timeline we have committed in the resolution plan".
JIL has to complete around 20,000 homes in 40 months, starting from August 2024.
Gohil said the company also held a webinar on Thursday morning to give an update to homebuyers about the progress made in the last 10 months after the takeover of JIL by the Suraksha Group. Around 800 homebuyers participated in the webinar.
JIL has to complete 159 towers comprising 16,500 units in Wishtown township at Noida, Uttar Pradesh. Out of these 159 towers, the company has to do only finishing work in 62 towers. In the remaining 97 towers, a lot of construction work is left.
More than 20 contractors have been awarded work to complete these projects. Around 3,200 labourers are working on the sites, and the numbers would go up gradually, the CEO said.
Gohil said the company has already obtained occupation certificates (OCs) for 22 towers, and the handover process has started. For another 12 towers, the OCs have been applied and the company will apply for OCs in 18 towers in early June.
Asked about the investment, JIL's Executive Director Jash Panchamia said the total construction cost is estimated at around Rs 6,000 crore.
He said the company has a credit line of Rs 3,000 crore to meet the construction cost.
Panchamia said the company's cash flow position is healthy. It has around Rs 400 crore of revenue from the toll of Yamuna Expressway that connects Greater Noida to Agra. The company also has receivables from the sold units.
That apart, he said the JIL has around 1,100 unsold homes in Wishtown township, which will be launched in the next 3 months.
JIL has received re-validation of RERA registration for seven stalled real estate projects, comprising more than 10,000 units, in Delhi-NCR. This will enable the company to expedite construction work and give possession of properties to aggrieved homebuyers.
It hopes to get RERA for 6 more projects soon.
The Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) against JIL began in August 2017, initiated by the IDBI Bank-led consortium.
On March 7, 2023, the
National Company Law Tribunal
(NCLT) approved the bid from Suraksha Group to buy JIL. In May 2024, the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) approved the resolution of Suraksha Group.
After taking control of the JIL, Suraksha Group infused Rs 125 crore funds as promised in the resolution plan.
In its final resolution plan, Suraksha Group offered to bankers more than 2,500 acres of land and nearly Rs 1,300 crore by way of issuing non-convertible debentures.
The NCLAT had directed Suraksha Group to pay an additional Rs 1,334 crore to Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) as farmers' compensation. The authority has filed a petition in the Supreme Court, seeking more funds for farmers' compensation.
Lenders of Jaypee Infratech had submitted a claim of Rs 9,783 crore.

This auto driver earns Rs 800000 per month, doesn't ride for single KM but earns in lakhs due to…
Indians businesspersons are known for their unique business strategies. Recently a LinkedIn post about an auto driver from Mumbai went viral on social media. According to the post by Rahul Rupani autorickshaw driver earns in lakhs per month, without even driving an autorickshaw like other auto drivers. He uses his auto for a different purpose which is itself an unique business idea which no one can think of. Rahul Rupani, a product leader at Lenskart, shared the story of the autorickshaw driver who waits outside the US Consulate. Rahul had taken a visa appointment there, and after reaching there he got to know from the security staff that he can't carry a bag inside the building. As per the consulate's regulations, visitors are not allowed to carry their bags inside. Rahul didn't find any alternatives to keep the bags as there were no lockers provided by them. When Rahul was worried standing outside the US consulate then this autorickshaw driver came to his rescue. The driver told Rahul that he will keep his bag safe, but Rahul didn't trust him immediately. But when he found the driver's business he was also surprised. The Mumbai autorickshaw driver was storing bags of the visitors with charges Rs. 1000 each. According to the post he was keeping 20 to 30 bags like this daily. After knowing this Rahul decided to keep his bag with auto driver. Sharing the full story Rahul wrote: 'I was outside the US Consulate this week for my visa appointment, when security told me I couldn't carry my bag inside. No lockers. No suggestions. Just: Figure it out. While I stood clueless on the footpath, an auto driver waved at me. 'Sir, bag de do. Safe rakhunga, mera roz ka hai. Rs. 1000 charge hai.' I hesitated. Then gave in. And that's when I discovered this guy's brilliant business.' Rahul mentioned in a linked post how the autorickshaw driver doesn't travel a single km, but earns from Rs. 5 lakh to Rs. 8 lakh per month. Rahul also shared another story wherein the auto driver has teamed up with a local police officer, who has a small locker near the US Consulate, because he has no space or cannot legally keep 30 bags in his vehicle. Rahul added: 'But it gets better: Since he can't legally keep 30 bags in his auto, he's partnered with a local police officer who owns a small locker space nearby. Bags go there. Legal. Secure. Zero hassle. The auto just acts as the conversion funnel. And while most people are sweating over US visa interviews, this guy is running a zero-mile, hyper-profitable, bootstrapped operation. No MBA. No startup jargon. Just pure hustle and street-smart product-market fit.'

Contract firm KNRC blames slushy soil for NH collapse
KOCHI: KNR Constructions (KNRC) said the company has made no 'mistake' in the construction of NH 66 and attributed the collapse of the highway stretch at Kooriyad in Malappuram to unexpected subsoil conditions. According to KNRC, the company responsible for the Ramanattukara-Valanchery section of NH 66, the approach ramp with a reinforced earth (RE) wall yielded due to 'pockets of soft or slushy soil between the earth's layers' beneath the foundation. The Hyderabad-based listed company, in its latest earnings call, stated that the construction process followed proper protocols. 'We are very confident that we have not done any mistake... It's a completely waterlogged area... Proper approvals were taken, and thorough examination of the foundations were done during earthing, along with subsoil investigations,' K Jalandhar Reddy, promoter and executive director of KNRC, said in the call. Responding to analysts' questions, Reddy explained that the designs were made accordingly, and Strata Geosystems, a renowned RE Walls agency, had done the work. 'The design was verified and approved by the authorities concerned before execution. So, as such, we didn't see anything that would have indicated this issue. We treat this as an accident only,' he said. He said the company has put forth a proposal to NHAI to construct a viaduct in the damaged area —estimated to cost Rs 25-Rs 30 crore — to permanently resolve the issue. Reddy said this solution would prevent similar problems in the future given the road's 15-year maintenance requirement.
