The
Suraksha Group
will invest Rs 5,500 crore in the completion of about 20,000 homes and expects to deliver all the homes by 2027, a senior executive said.
The company said it has already started the construction work and will focus on timely delivery.
'Overall, 159 residential towers are to be completed, and we have already received occupancy certificates for 22 towers. We have applied OC for another 12 towers, and by the first week of June, OC will be applied for 18 more towers. By the end of this year, we will deliver 62 towers, while the remaining 97 towers will be delivered over a period of 40 months,' said Abhijit Gohil, CEO of

Despite the loss of a few months in the mobilisation and installation of cranes and then the GRAP order, it has awarded contracts for all the towers to most of the contractors who were working for JAL.
The company said it has also received approval from the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) for the majority of the projects and will soon launch the sale of 1,100 unsold units as well.

Of the Rs 5,500 crore required for the construction, the group has a credit line from different lenders of Rs 3,000 crore, and it has already put Rs 125 crore as equity. It will also sell 2.4 million sq ft to generate cash.
It has generated Rs 600 crore from the sale of hospitals, and another Rs 500 crore comes annually through the toll at Yamuna Expressway. The company will also receive Rs 1,200 crore from buyers, who have already bought the property.
'We had filed 16 RERA applications, of which we have received approval for 7, while in 3, closure has been filed. For the balance six, we are expected to receive approval in the next hearing,' Gohil said.
On May 24, 2024, the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) approved Suraksha's resolution plan, directing the company to compensate YEIDA with Rs 1,335 crore over the next four years for the benefit of farmers.
Suraksha's plan, submitted to the bankruptcy court in April, originally proposed Rs 1,216 crore in enhanced compensation, with payments structured as 10% within 90 days, 15% by the end of the first year, and 25% annually over the next three years.
According to homebuyers, 20,000 families of Jaypee Wishtown, Noida, have been struggling for more than the last 10 years to get their dream house.
Each homebuyer has incurred expenses twice the amount paid to Jaypee Group for their home by way of interest and rent in these 10 years. Since 2014, Jaypee has not laid a single brick in approximately 100 towers.
The delivered flats are also below the standard quality and amenities promised by them at the time of booking and have not been provided.
Jaypee Infratech, a real estate and infrastructure company, was among the initial 12 entities the central bank had referred to the NCLT in August 2017 under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC).
The petition from lead lender
IDBI Bank
was admitted more than five years ago, and since then, the resolution has seen four rounds of bidding and various litigations frustrating both lenders and home buyers. The projects include multiple residential towers in Noida and Mirzapur.
In June 2021, the CoC, through a court-monitored process, finally approved SurakshaARC's bid to take over the distressed borrower.
Jaypee Infratech owes IDBI Bank,
ICICI Bank
, IFCI, the
State Bank of India
(SBI), and homebuyers a total of Rs 22,600 crore. Homebuyers have advanced Rs 12,714 crore, or 55% of the debt, while lenders have 43%, or Rs 9,234 crore, of the debt.
Earlier, banks led by IDBI sold their debt to the NARCL, marking the first acquisition for the government-backed bad loan aggregator. The NARCL had offered Rs 3,570 crore—the biggest to date by a government-backed bad bank.
Suraksha's revised resolution plan increased the aggregate offer to institutional financial creditors by Rs 1,298 crore, expanding the total offer to Rs 7,736 crore. The other contender was NBCC.

'Quick commerce ops not hurting beauty biz, its aiding personal care'

As Blinkit, Zepto, and Instamart expand aggressively into beauty and personal care, Nykaa is taking a slower, more curated approach. Its pilot, Nykaa Now, is live in select areas of Mumbai, New Delhi, and Bengaluru, with a deliberate focus on personal care rather than its core beauty range. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads As vertical ecommerce players gear up to fight the quick commerce battle, Nykaa is taking a cautious approach toward the segment. After piloting quick-commerce platform Nykaa Now in select pin codes across Mumbai, Delhi and Bengaluru last year, the beauty and fashion etailer says its core beauty category isn't designed for 10-minute deliveries and much of the traction is coming from personal care products "Nearly 80% of what we sell is beauty and 20% is personal care. Personal care is what's really picking up on quick commerce," said Adwaita Nayar, cofounder of Nykaa and executive director and CEO of Nykaa Fashion. "Our beauty business' gross merchandise value (GMV) has grown at 30% year-on-year for the last four quarters. So I don't think we're seeing an impact of quick commerce. It's hard to know what growth would have looked like without it, but we're where we expected to be."Beauty is a discovery and inspiration-led category, where there is a lot of width and depth that needs to be serviced. The nature of quick commerce doesn't typically support that kind of assortment, Nayar told ET in an clarified that the Nykaa Now list is curated separately with a focus on personal care and gifting rather than mirroring its primary ecommerce catalogue. The cautious tone contrasts with how horizontal quick commerce platforms like Blinkit, Swiggy 's Instamart, and Zepto have aggressively expanded into newer categories such as electronics and fashion and beauty products. These companies have said beauty and personal care is fastest growing on their with the bigger players like Myntra, several vertical quick commerce startups have emerged, backed by venture capital including the likes of Slikk and Blip in the fashion and apparel did acknowledge a broader shift in delivery expectations. "It's not about 10 minutes, but people's expectations for delivery speed globally is just going up," she as discretionary spending slows in parts of India's consumer internet market, Nykaa's beauty business continues to grow at a healthy pace, Nayar said. FSN E-Commerce , Nykaa's parent company, posted a net profit of Rs 19 crore, almost double that reported in the year earlier. Operating revenue rose 23.6% year-on-year to Rs 2,016.7 crore, led by gains in beauty and personal care."We are aware of the broader slowdown. We benchmark ourselves against a lot of these companies and understand what their growth rates look like. But so far, Nykaa hasn't seen a similar impact," Nayar said."Based on our estimates, the online beauty and personal care market grew in the low 20s, while we grew in the high 20s."In contrast, the fashion vertical, which Nayar has led over the last few years, is growing at a slower pace, though it has outpaced overall industry growth at 12% year-on-year GMV growth in FY25."Actually, if you compare the net sales value (of beauty and fashion) it is a more apples-to-apples metric. The split is 75:25 in GMV terms and 80:20 in NSV."Her goal is not to make fashion bigger than beauty, but to build a strong and profitable business with a clearly defined said Nykaa Fashion's positioning remains distinct from fast-fashion players like Shein, which has re-entered India through Reliance Industries

Rapido cuts food delivery charges by half to counter Zomato, Swiggy

Ride-hailing app Rapido has finalised online food delivery partnership costs and terms with restaurants at nearly half the commissions from entrenched rivals Swiggy and Zomato , challenging the duopoly, people directly aware of the developments said. According to the agreed terms with industry body National Restaurants Association of India (NRAI), Rapido is expected to charge commissions in the range of 8-15% from restaurants, compared to 16-30% Zomato and Swiggy charge, the executives said. The partnership terms state Rapido will charge a fixed fee of Rs 25 on orders below Rs 400 and Rs 50 on orders over Rs 400, the people quoted earlier said. This translates to a range of 8-15% commissions from restaurants, compared to 16-30% charged by Zomato and Swiggy. Consumers will be able to place orders on the Rapido app where restaurants will be listed. "This will specially help small restaurants ," one of the executives mentioned above said. The pilot is expected to go live in June-end or first week of July, starting with Bengaluru . ETtech "We've been in discussion with Rapido over the last few months just the way we are working closely with ONDC. We are discussing a structure which is economically and democratically much more viable for restaurants to sustain," NRAI president Sagar Daryani said. He declined to comment on specific partner terms. "It's also very important for us to know our customers and the same has been candidly communicated to them," Daryani added. Allegations of data masking have been a core point of disagreement between restaurants and the large platforms.

The ride-hailing unicorn's bike-taxi riders currently have a select 'idle-time' arrangement with Swiggy to deliver food in select cities, but the arrangement is non-exclusive. The NRAI, which represents over 500,000 restaurants, had initiated a similar partnership with the government-backed ONDC in January, but the terms are still being ironed out amid slower traction. Recent months have seen multiple small restaurant owners calling out what they alleged are "steep charges" levied by Zomato and Swiggy. "Zomato is becoming unsustainable for small restaurant owners like us," Vandit Malik, founder, The Garlic Bread, wrote on Linkedin three weeks back. "To even be visible on the platform, I'm forced to spend Rs 30+ per order on ads. What's left? Pennies. Sometimes, not even that," he alleged. The owners of another NCR-based small restaurant, Saffroma, wrote on X last week, which went viral, that it was quitting Zomato alleging "zero payouts, mystery service charges and advertisements initiated without approval." The post has since been deleted.
