Move over REITs-This township promises weddings, villas, Polo, and 9% yield
India's real estate market just got its first lifestyle-led, yield-generating investment model—one that combines a racecourse-themed township wth private villa ownership and five-star hospitality to deliver potential returns of up to 9% per year.
Lonavla, Maharashtra-based luxury experiential resort Della Resorts & Adventure has entered into a proprietary CDDMO (conceptualisation, design, development, marketing and sales, and operations) model with Hiranandani Communities and Krisala Developers to launch a racecourse-themed township in Pune, with a revenue potential of Rs 1,100 crore.
Set across 40 acres in Pune's North Hinjewadi, the project aims to transform traditional residential property into a professionally run, yield-generating asset.
At the heart of this new township is an 8-acre Racecourse and International Polo Club, designed not just for sport, but as a revenue-generating lifestyle hub. Alongside this unique anchor, the development will offer:
128 private villa plots
112 resort residences
A 5-star, 300-key luxury resort
9 destination wedding venues
12 MICE/corporate venues
A signature adventure park
Della Range golf and wellness facilities
The project is currently in advanced planning stages, with land acquisition completed and design finalization underway. Phase 1 of the township is expected to launch in 3 months with possession slated for early next year for Resort & Villa plots and end 26 for private Residences. This Hospitality led themed Township aims to redefine urban living and become a Cultural Hotspot in Pune and serve as a replicable model across other emerging Indian metros.
The township announced by Della is part of a 105-acre joint development project previously announced by Hiranandani and Pune-based Krisala Developers.
What makes this model different?
Passive Income from Active Assets: Homes aren't just places to live—they generate revenue through hospitality and events while being managed end-to-end.
Hospitality-Backed ROI: With hotel-grade operations and high footfall venues, the model unlocks up to 9% annual returns, unheard of in Indian residential real estate.
Full-Service Ownership: All assets are fully designed, managed, and operated—no landlord headaches, no tenant sourcing, no maintenance stress.
High Aspirational Value: Properties are positioned as lifestyle investments, catering to affluent millennials, HNIs, and second-home seekers looking for both value and experience.
"With our CDDMOTM approach, we're transforming real estate from a product into an experience, and from a static asset into a dynamic, yield-generating investment. This is the first time residential real estate is offering returns that exceed traditional industry norms of 3%—breaking conventional expectations giving assured returns of upto 9% on Real Estate investments. This is the luxury future fit living, curated with precision and powered by design, innovation, and operational excellence," explained Jimmy Mistry, Founder and Chairman of Della Resorts and Adventure.

China silent about lifting export curbs on rare earth metals amid growing concerns in India, world
China, which holds the global monopoly over the precious rare earth metals needed for manufacturing of phones, automobiles and missiles, continues to play hardball over lifting export restrictions of the precious metals warding off pressures from a host of countries, including, the US, EU and India. "China's export control measures are consistent with universal practices," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said responding to a question during a media briefing here on Thursday that Japanese automaker Suzuki has suspended production of its main small cars in Japan because of delays due to rare earth restrictions. "Such measures are non-discriminatory and not targeted at any particular country," he said, adding that the question should be directed to competent authorities. This is the second-time this week that Lin deflected a question on the growing global concerns over the restrictions over exports of Chinese rare earth metals. On Tuesday, he evaded a question about reports that executives and representatives of the car industry in Europe, the US and India expressed concern that China's rare earth export controls are creating the risk of shortages that could lead to the stoppages in production soon, saying that the question should be addressed to competent authorities. Reports from Tokyo on Thursday said Suzuki Motor halted production of its Swift model cars in Japan from May 26 due to China's rare earth restrictions. Reports in recent weeks from India too spoke of growing concerns among the automobile manufactures about scarcity about rare earth magnets, which are critical components in electric vehicles (EVs) and even some parts of traditional internal combustion engine vehicles. Also, China's export restrictions of the rare earths specially germanium, a critical mineral that is used in manufacturing of semiconductors, fibre optic cables and solar panels, has sparked concerns in India among the respective industries. Officials of India as well as many other countries say they are engaged with the concerned ministries and departments. Rare earths are a group of metals consisting of 17 elements. Though present in several counties, their extraction is costly and messy causing massive amounts of pollution. According to the International Energy Agency, currently China accounts for 61 per cent of global mined rare earth production, but controls 92 per cent of the global output. China's exports restrictions of rare earths which were imposed in June last year through a decree by Premier Li Qiang reportedly became stricter since US President Donald Trump imposed 146 per cent tariffs on Chinese exports. This week, the European Union (EU) urged China to stop restricting the export of rare earth minerals and magnets, with the bloc's trade chief saying its industries are in an "alarming situation", the Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post reported on Thursday. The request was made during a meeting between the sides' top commerce officials in Paris on Tuesday. It comes as sectors across Europe raise the alarm about a shortage of rare earths, which are used to manufacture hi-tech goods ranging from electric cars and smartphones to military tanks and aircraft. "I informed my Chinese counterpart about the alarming situation in the European car industry, but I would say industry as such because clearly rare earths and permanent magnets are absolutely essential for industrial production," EU trade chief Maros Sefcovic said on Wednesday, briefing reporters a day after his meeting with Chinese Commerce Minister Wang Wentao.

Auto companies face shortages due to China's rare earth restrictions
Automakers and their suppliers are facing shortages due to restrictions on Chinese exports of rare earths, minerals and magnets, an issue that has forced some to shut down production of certain models. Rare earth magnets are used in motors that run electric vehicles and other car parts such as windows and audio speakers. These companies have paused production or warned shortages were affecting their supply chains: PRODUCTION SUSPENDED Ford shut down production of its Explorer SUV at its Chicago plant for a week in May because of the rare earths shortage. Suzuki Motor suspended production of its flagship Swift subcompact from May 26, citing a shortage of components. It expects a partial restart on June 13, with full resumption after June 16. Two people familiar with the matter said the suspension was due to China's restrictions. Suzuki declined to comment on the reason. Several European auto supplier plants and production lines have been shut down because of a rare earth shortage, Europe's auto supplier association CLEPA said on June 4. SUPPLY CHAIN CONCERNS Indian automaker Bajaj Auto warned that any further delays in securing the supply of rare earth magnets from China could "seriously impact" EV production by July. Auto parts maker Bosch said bottlenecks in the supply of rare earths were affecting its suppliers, who had to furnish a lot of detailed information to get export licences. BMW said a part of its supplier network was affected by the shortage, but that its own plants were running as normal. Maruti Suzuki India's top-selling carmaker, said there was no immediate impact, and that it was in talks with the government on the matter. German auto supplier ZF said it sees the effect of a rare earths shortage on some of its suppliers, although it does not procure the raw materials itself.

Mehul Choksi's bank accounts, shares attached by Sebi over ₹2.1 crore dues
Markets regulator Sebi has ordered the attachment of bank accounts and shares and mutual fund holdings of absconding diamantaire Mehul Choksi to recover dues totalling ₹2.1 crore in a case of violation of insider trading rules in the shares of Gitanjali Gems. The latest move followed a demand notice issued to Choksi on May 15, warning attachment of assets as well as bank accounts if he failed to make the payment within 15 days. The demand notice came after Choksi failed to pay the fine imposed by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) in January 2022 in a case of violation of insider trading rules in the shares of Gitanjali Gems Ltd. Choksi, who was the chairman and managing director as well as part of promoter group of Gitanjali Gems, is the maternal uncle of Nirav Modi. Both are facing charges of defrauding state-owned Punjab National Bank (PNB) of more than ₹14,000 crore. Both Choksi and Modi fled India after the PNB scam came to light in early 2018. In April, Choksi was arrested in Belgium following an extradition request by Indian probe agencies. He was located in Belgium last year when he went there for getting medical treatment. He had been staying in Antigua since 2018 after leaving India. Modi was arrested by the Scotland Yard Police in March 2019 and is currently in jail in that country. In an attachment notice dated June 4, Sebi said the pending dues of ₹2.1 crore include the initial fine of ₹1.5 crore and interest of ₹60 lakh. To recover the dues, Sebi asked all the banks, depositories -- CDSL and NSDL -- and mutual funds not to allow any debit from the accounts of Choksi. However, credits have been permitted. Further, Sebi has directed the banks to attach all accounts, including lockers, held by the defaulter. Initiating the recovery proceedings, Sebi said there is sufficient reason to believe that Choksi may dispose of the amounts in the bank accounts, mutual fund folios and securities in the demat accounts held with the depositories and "realisation of the amount due under the certificate would, in consequence, be delayed or obstructed". In its order passed in January 2022, the regulator imposed a penalty of ₹1.5 crore on Choksi and restrained him from the securities market for one year. Sebi had found that Choksi communicated unpublished price sensitive information to one Rakesh Girdharlal Gajera, who sold his entire shareholding of 5.75 per cent in Gitanjali Gems in December 2017 with the intention of avoiding loss ahead of any event which may lead to disclosure of fraudulent issuance of LoUs (letter of undertaking) to Gitanjali Group and magnitude in public domain. It was noted that fraudulent LoUs were issued on behalf of entities belonging to the Gitanjali Group, including GGL. "Noticee no. 1 (Choksi) was found to have communicated UPSI (unpublished price sensitive information) to Noticee no. 2 (Gajera) without any underlying legal obligation or any legitimate purpose," Sebi had said in its final order. Through such activities, the two persons had violated the provisions of the PIT (Prohibition of Insider Trading) rules. In May 2023, Sebi sent a notice to Choksi directing him to pay ₹5.35 crore in a case pertaining to fraudulent trading in the shares of Gitanjali Gems.
