Keystone Realtors buys 3 Mumbai land parcels to build homes worth ₹7,700 cr
Keystone Realtors Ltd has bagged three redevelopment projects in Mumbai during the latest June quarter with a revenue potential of more than Rs 7,700 crore and is looking to acquire more land parcels for growth of its residential real estate business, a top company official said. In an interview with PTI, the company's CMD Boman Irani highlighted that the company performed exceedingly well in the first quarter of this fiscal on key metrics like sales bookings, launches and new business development (acquisition of land parcels to build projects). Mumbai-based Keystone Realtors achieved the highest-ever quarterly pre-sales of Rs 1,068 crore in April-June period of 2025-26 fiscal, a rise of 75 per cent from the same quarter last year. On business development, he said, "We added 3 projects in the first quarter having an estimated GDV (gross development value) of Rs 7,727 crore," Irani said, adding that the company has already surpassed the target of adding projects worth Rs 6,000 crore during the current fiscal. He said the company is looking at acquiring more land parcels across Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) to build housing projects. Irani said the company would consider revising its annual guidance after the second quarter of this fiscal. Keystone Realtors has become a major player in redevelopment of housing societies and cluster redevelopment. As per the latest investors presentation, the company has bagged a Rs 4,521 crore project for redevelopment of GTB Nagar Cluster at Sion in Mumbai. It secured a Rs 2,956 crore project for redevelopment of Lokhandwala Cluster at Andheri (West) and a Rs 251 crore redevelopment project at Goregaon (East). In these three redevelopment projects, the company would get a total saleable area of 3.25 million (32.5 lakh) square feet. Regarding fresh supply, Irani said the company launched three projects in the June quarter with an estimated GDV of nearly Rs 4,000 crore, which is 57 per cent of the targeted launch of Rs 7,000 crore for the current fiscal. On the financial front, Keystone Realtors Ltd reported a 44 per cent decline in consolidated net profit to Rs 14.51 crore for the quarter ended June on lower income. Its net profit stood at Rs 25.82 crore in the year-ago period. Total income fell to Rs 288.64 crore in the April-June period of this fiscal, from Rs 437.20 crore in the corresponding period of the preceding year. Irani said the company's total income and profit declined as it was not able to recognise revenue because of the project completion method. For new projects, he said the company is shifting to the percentage of completion method for recognising the revenue as this would "reflect a true picture" of the company's financial performance. Incorporated in 1995, Keystone Realtors Ltd, which sells under Rustomjee brand, is one of the leading real estate companies in the country.

5 Easy Vastu Tips To Attract Wealth Like A Magnet And Bring Prosperity To Your Home
Last Updated: Vastu Shastra offers a few simple, time-tested remedies to attract and retain wealth, most effective when applied in the right direction and manner Everyone dreams of a home where wealth is abundant and prosperity never fades. Yet, despite hard work, savings can slip away, either through rising expenses or money simply not lasting. Vastu Shastra and certain religious beliefs suggest that simple, time-tested remedies can help attract and retain wealth. Easy to follow yet powerful in effect, these practices work best when applied in the right direction and manner. Astrologer Ravi Parashar shares practical tips to draw prosperity to your home like a magnet. Swastika At Main Door The main door is not just the entry and exit point of the house, it is also the gateway for positive energy and wealth. Drawing a Swastika of the correct colour according to the door's direction is believed to bring prosperity: East-facing door: Green Swastika North-facing door: Blue Swastika South-facing door: Red Swastika The locker symbolises the stability of wealth. Position it in the west direction and place some yellow mustard inside. This is believed to protect money from negative energy, remove the evil eye, and eliminate financial obstacles. Earthen Piggy Bank The south-west direction is associated with stability and long-term wealth. Keep a simple earthen piggy bank here and deposit coins or notes regularly. Letting children put money into it is considered especially auspicious. Over time, this helps build financial strength. Photograph Of Lakshmi-Narayan Position a beautiful photograph of Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Narayan in the west and offer daily prayers. Goddess Lakshmi is the deity of wealth and prosperity, while Lord Narayan represents protection and stability. Together, they ensure abundance. Lighting a lamp and chanting mantras during worship can further amplify the benefits. Ganga Jal The north-east corner is considered the most sacred and auspicious. Keeping Ganga Jal (water) here in your place of worship is believed to increase positive energy, bring mental peace, and maintain spiritual balance. Ensure the water is changed regularly to keep it fresh. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.
