After 7-yr delay, Max Estates takes over and revives Delhi One in Noida

After seven long years of uncertainty, homebuyers can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Max Estates Limited has officially taken over Boulevard Projects Private Limited (BPPL)—the entity behind the stalled Delhi One project in Noida. This move marks a major turning point in NCR's real estate recovery, especially for those who invested in what was once seen as a dream address.
What is Delhi One?
The Delhi One project was originally launched in January 2014 by Boulevard Projects Private Limited (BPPL), a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) owned by the promoters of the 3C Group. Situated in Sector 16B, Noida, adjacent to the Delhi-Noida-Direct (DND) Flyway, the project was envisioned as a premium mixed-use development. However, the project encountered significant delays due to financial challenges faced by the developers, leading to its stalling and subsequent insolvency proceedings.​
In February 2023, the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) approved Max Estates' resolution plan to acquire the Delhi One project through insolvency proceedings. This decision came after a Committee of Creditors (CoC) had approved Max's plan in 2019. The resolution plan was aimed at reviving the stalled project and addressing the concerns of approximately 288 allottees who had invested in the project .​
Upon acquiring the project, Max Estates engaged with the Noida Authority to settle outstanding dues associated with the land. Initially, the Authority had claimed dues amounting to Rs 932 crore. Through negotiations, Max Estates proposed a settlement of Rs 542 crore, which the Authority accepted. Including interest, the total amount to be paid over three years was Rs 613 crore, with a 25% upfront payment .​
Project Scope and Development Potential
The Delhi One project spans approximately 12.5 acres and offers Max Estates the opportunity to develop 2.5–3 million square feet of new space.
Once completed, the project will feature:
Ultra-luxury serviced residences
Premium office spaces
High-street retail
An exclusive members-only club
It's not just a residential complex—Delhi One aims to be a mini urban city where people can live, work, shop, and socialize in one connected ecosystem.
The Numbers Behind the Project
Development potential: 2.5 million square feet (includes previously sold inventory)
Total sales potential: Over Rs 2,000 crore
Estimated annual rental income (annuity): Rs 120+ crore
Regulatory Green Lights
Max Estates received:
Final approval from the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) in February 2023
Clearance from the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) in October 2024
These approvals allowed Max Estates to legally and officially take control of the project and proceed with the revival plan.
'This is more than just a real estate project. It's about creating a downtown lifestyle where people can live, work, play, and thrive,' said Sahil Vachani, Vice Chairman and Managing Director of Max Estates. 'We are excited to bring our LiveWell, WorkWell, PlayWell, and EatWell philosophy to life through this integrated development.'
The new vision for Delhi One centers around wellbeing and sustainability. With green building techniques, energy-efficient systems, and biophilic design, the project will foster a deeper connection between people and their environment. Every space, from residential to commercial, will be designed to offer natural light, customizable layouts, and high-performance infrastructure.
What's Coming at Delhi One
Ultra-Luxury Residences: Spacious, light-filled, and customizable homes designed for modern living.
Premium Office Spaces: Flexible layouts with cutting-edge tech and collaborative work zones.
Curated Retail Street: Handpicked boutique experiences and dining options.

Apcob celebrates 62nd Foundation Day

Vijayawada: The Andhra Pradesh State Cooperative Bank (Apcob) is a vital institution for the state's rural economy, said Minister for Agriculture, Cooperation, and Marketing, Kinjarapu Atchannaidu. He was speaking at the bank's 62nd Foundation Day celebrations held at the MB Vijnana Kendram here on Monday. The minister extended his greetings to farmers, women's federations, youth, cooperative society members, and bank officials. He highlighted APCOB's crucial role in providing timely loans for seeds, fertilizers, and other agricultural needs, thereby supporting the state's farmers. 'The government is fully committed to strengthening the cooperative structure to financially empower every farming household,' he stated. He assured that with technology, cooperative bank services would become more accessible and citizen-friendly. He praised institutions like DCCBs (District Cooperative Central Banks), PACS (Primary Agricultural Credit Societies), and APCOB for serving rural areas that commercial banks often neglect. Minister Atchannaidu noted APCOB's significant role in supporting underprivileged communities. He recalled that before 2014, there was no separate ministry for the cooperative sector at the central level. However, under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a dedicated ministry was established, giving the sector national priority. The minister said that in Andhra Pradesh, agriculture and cooperatives are two crucial sectors, and economic support is key to their growth. He noted that APCOB has expanded its services beyond just loans to include providing agricultural inputs, and even running medical stores and petrol stations, which contribute significantly to rural economic infrastructure. The minister also highlighted the success of the DWCRA model, which was introduced under Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu's leadership and has now become a national example. He said nearly one crore women are engaged in cooperative transactions worth Rs 42,000 crore. However, most of these transactions are currently handled by private banks. The minister assured that plans will be developed to route these transactions through Apcob and its affiliates, which would offer lower interest rates than private banks. He concluded by urging all stakeholders to work together to advance the cooperative sector and expressed hope that Apcob would achieve greater heights in the future. Apcob chairman G Veeranjaneyulu, Special Chief Secretary B. Rajasekhar, RCS Amar Babu, Apcob MD Srinath Reddy, Nabard CGM Gopal, DCCB chairpersons, PACS leaders, and other dignitaries were present.

FPIs still drive stock prices despite holdings at decade-low levels

Despite foreign portfolio investors' (FPIs) holdings in Indian equities falling to a decade-low, they remain the most influential driver of stock prices. According to Prime Infobase, among seven key investor cohorts, companies that saw an increase in FPI holdings during the June 2025 quarter recorded the highest average gains—21.73 per cent. In contrast, stocks where FPIs reduced their stakes underperformed, with an average gain of just 16.9 per cent. Stocks that saw mutual funds (MFs) raise exposure posted average returns of 16.3 per cent, while those where they reduced their exposure edged higher by 17.2 per cent. Companies where Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) increased its holdings saw a more modest average rise of 9.4 per cent, while 88 stocks where LIC cut its stake rose 17.2 per cent. Market observers note that while FPIs' influence may be gradually waning amid surging domestic liquidity, they remain market movers and price-setters. In contrast, domestic institutional investors (DIIs) are largely viewed as price takers, contributing stability to the system. As of June 2025, FPIs' share in India's total market capitalisation dropped to 17.04 per cent—a 13-year low—from 17.22 per cent at the end of March 2025, even as net FPI inflows during the quarter stood at Rs 38,674 crore. Notable stocks that saw significant FPI inflows included Vishal Mega Mart (FPI holding up 582 basis points; share price up 28.5 per cent), South Indian Bank (FPI holdings up 562 bps; price up 33.5 per cent), and Paradeep Phosphates (FPI holdings up 680 bps; share price up 70 per cent). On the flip side, key stocks with the steepest decline in FPI holdings—such as Hi Tech Pipes (FPI cut 726 bps; stock down 1 per cent) and Balaxi Pharma (FPI cut 716 bps; stock down 22 per cent)—notably underperformed the market.
