County Group acquires 13.3-acre land in Wave City NH24, Ghaziabad for ₹400 crores
County group
has acquired 13.3-acre land in
Wave City NH24
in
Ghaziabad
for around Rs 400 crore, according to people familiar with the development.
The smart city by Wave group is adjacent to NH-24 and spans over 4,200 acres and the firm had earlier sold land parcels to realty developers to raise fund.
The company plans to develop 1,000 residential units across four apartment sizes, with total area spreading over 3 million square feet.
'Buyers are keen to invest on the projects by the developer since previous projects by the developer have consistently yielded significant returns for investors, with many reporting a 3x to 4x appreciation on their initial investments. Also, Wave City NH24 has emerged as a rapidly growing residential hub, and is benefited by infrastructure and connectivity to Delhi and other NCR regions,' said Sachin Arora, founder of Moneytree Realty.
The location is also benefited by the operationalization of the
Hindon Airport
for commercial flights and with the upcoming
Jewar International Airport
, the property price will grow further.
Jewar Airport, once operational, is expected to handle millions of passengers annually, further boosting economic activity and attracting investment in the region.
County Group has delivered over 4 million sq ft across three housing projects in 2024, overcoming the challenges faced during Covid.
The region where majority of the projects are stuck and buyers are waiting for delivery for over a decade, has seen very few delivered projects since Covid.
The three major projects delivered by County group are Coco County, a 12.21 lakh sq. ft premium project located in Sector -10 Greater Noida (West), Ivy County, a 14.74 lakh sq. ft luxury project located in Sector 75 Noida, and County 107, 14.78 lakh sq. ft project which is also Noida First Ultra-Luxury project located in posh Sector 107 in Noida.
Wave group has so far sold land to at least half a dozen builder in order to improve cash flow.
The combined areas these real estate developers will develop will be around 15 million square feet in the next few years.

Mumbai Police files charge sheet against ex-Religare chair Rashmi Saluja, 3 others in ESOP case
Mumbai: The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Mumbai Police on Monday filed a charge sheet against former Religare Enterprises chairperson Rashmi Saluja and three others in connection with alleged irregularities in the allotment of employee stock options (ESOP) at Care Health Insurance Ltd . A dispute over the ESOP allotment to Saluja at the insurance subsidiary had escalated into a legal battle between Religare's then management and the Burmans who were pursuing to take over the financial services company. The charge sheet filed at a local magistrate's court names Saluja, former Religare finance chief Nitin Aggarwal, ex-group general counsel Nishant Singhal and a Mumbai-based office assistant, Vaibhav Gawli. The EOW investigated the matter after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in September last year filed a complaint alleging that Saluja and her colleagues conspired to derail the takeover bid for Religare by misusing ESOP allotments and orchestrating a police complaint filed by the office assistant. Gawli was allegedly promised cash and shares in return. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cardiologist Reveals: The Simple Morning Habit for a Flatter Belly After 50! Lulutox Saluja, who has challenged the EOW's FIR in the Bombay HC, on Monday called the allegations "mala fide and flawed". She told ET: "When I have never met Gawli or ever communicated with him, how could I get him to lodge a complaint against the Burmans? Also, how could ESOPs be treated as proceeds of crime? They were issued by the board and NRC (nomination & remuneration committee)...why aren't they being questioned?" According to investigators, the insurance regulator had rejected Care Health's proposal to issue 22.71 million stock options, valued at more than ₹250 crore, to Saluja. Still, the company's board in August 2022 granted the ESOPs to her at ₹45.32 per share, to be vested in three tranches. In the same meeting, the board also cleared a ₹300 crore rights issue. Live Events The regulator in November 2023 ruled that the ESOPs were granted in violation of sectoral guidelines that cap non-executive director compensation at ₹10 lakh without prior approval.

Once a major tourist draw, Bird Park sees dip in visitors & revenue
Chandigarh: Conceptualised and built with the aim of boosting tourism in Chandigarh, the Bird Park located in the city's lush green northern fringe is seeing a gradual dip in tourist flow. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now It was brought to life not so long ago in Nov 2021 by the Chandigarh administration. The UT administration had left no stone unturned to woo visitors, equipping the park with the necessary facilities and other attractions. No wonder, it turned out to be a popular tourist draw then. A senior UT official said, "Earlier, a large number of visitors from Chandigarh Tricity used to visit the park. But later their number dwindled, and tourists from outside the Tricity started thronging the park. Though the park still gets visitors, and the craze is still there, it's not like what it was when it first opened." Records available with the Chandigarh administration show that from its inception till March 2023, a total of 5,16,860 visitors visited the Bird Park. However, there was a dip in tourist flow after that. In 2023-2024 financial year, the park saw 4,08,846 visitors. The number went down further in 2024-2025FY, with a total of 329,332 visitors. Naturally, revenue also saw a dip with every passing year. But it wasn't as much compared to the decline in the number of visitors. UT records show that from Nov 2021 till March 2023, the park authority earned a revenue of Rs 2.73 crore, while it came down to 2.63 crore in 2023-2024FY. The revenue went down further in 2024-2025FY, with the Chandigarh administration collecting Rs 2.60 crore during the period. So, from Nov 2021 till the end of the last financial year (March 2025), the authority earned over Rs 7.98 crore from the Bird Park. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Over 12.55 lakh visitors visited the park during the period. Students, who visit the Bird Park from time to time as part of their school trips, are also among them. The enclosures inside the Bird Park have been designed in such a way that the birds, apart from taking flight and nesting in the natural habitat, can stay at the aviary while visitors can walk past them. The structures enclose thousands of plants of varying canopies, which provide an ideal habitat, food, and shelter for the birds that can fly freely and breed.

14 law colleges in Gujarat back in admission process
Ahmedabad: The Bar Council of India (BCI) has conditionally allowed 14 granted law colleges in Gujarat to participate in the admission process after they deposited inspection fees, application fees and penalty charges with the council. With this approval, all 14 colleges will now be included in the centralised LLB admission process conducted through the Gujarat Common Admission System (GCAS). As a result, the state govt has decided to conduct one more admission round, with fresh online registrations beginning on Aug 20. Earlier, these colleges were excluded from the admission process due to non-payment of inspection and penalty fees, as well as a shortage of required number of faculty members. Last year, the issue even reached the high court, where the state initially refused to release the fees. Consequently, only seven to eight colleges could participate in the admission process. This year too, the case continued in the court until the govt assured payment of over Rs 11 crore towards inspection, penalty and related charges on behalf of the colleges. Following this assurance, the BCI granted conditional permission to 14 of the 28 granted law colleges in the state. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The conditional approval requires each college to appoint at least one principal and four faculty members, provide them salaries as per UGC rules and ensure proper infrastructure and library facilities. An affidavit confirming compliance with these requirements must be submitted to the council. Meanwhile, three of the approved colleges have filed fresh petitions in the high court, challenging the aspects of the decision.
