Jaypee Infratech to invest Rs 6,000 cr to finish 20,000 homes in 3 years

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.

While big tech builds massive data centers, Seagate drops bombshell with 40TB drives that can change everything

Seagate has already shipped some 40TB hard drives, but they are not available for public sale yet. These new drives use Heat-Assisted Magnetic Recording (HAMR) tech to store more data on each disk platter , 4TB per platter multiple 10 platters is equal to 40TB, as per reports. The drives are built on a new platform called Mozaic 4 plus, which is part of Seagate's next-gen storage tech. Only limited units have been sent to Seagate's customers so far for testing. Big testing phase will continue into 2026, so these drives won't be mass-produced until the first half of 2026. The goal is to move a large chunk of Seagate's data storage to HAMR-based drives because they're more efficient for data centers. These high-capacity drives help reduce space and increase efficiency in massive data centers , that's where the real use is. Seagate leads, but HAMR lags Seagate also plans to launch 44TB drives by 2027 and 50 TB drives by 2028. Their original target was 50TB by 2026, but it's delay shows how hard it is to scale HAMR tech. Still, this 40TB drive puts Seagate ahead in the race to make the world's biggest hard drive. Rival company Western Digital is going a different route , they're still using ePMR and OptiNAND for now. WD is also working on HAMR, but they'll launch their 40TB HAMR HDD only by late 2026. WD says HAMR will be truly useful only at 40TB and beyond, so till then they're improving old tech like UltraSMR to stretch HDD capacity. Live Events Toshiba, another competitor, is working on Microwave-Assisted Magnetic Recording (MAMR) right now. Toshiba wants to release a 35 TB HAMR drive before 2026 and may combine MAMR plus HAMR to push capacity. These drives are not for regular people or gamers , they're designed for huge data centers and AI-heavy work like cybersecurity. Even though it's not in stores, Seagate's 40 TB shipment proves they're leading the tech game, even if it'll take time to fully roll out. But still, getting to commercial use will be tough, and other companies are being cautious , that shows it's a long, tricky journey. FAQs Q1. What is Seagate's 40TB hard drive used for? It's made for big data centers, not for personal or home use. Q2. When will Seagate's 40TB drive be available to buy? Mass production may start in 2026 after testing is finished.
