L&T Realty plans Rs 25,000 crore launches in three cities
L&T Realty, the real estate arm of Larsen & Toubro, plans to launch projects worth Rs 25,000 crore in Mumbai, Delhi-NCR and Bengaluru in the second half of FY27, managing director and chief executive Anupam Kumar said in interviews to Business Standard and Mint. The company aims to double its portfolio to about 150 million sq ft by 2031, with residential projects making up 85% of the total.
Kumar said three to four launches are planned overall, with two each in NCR and Bengaluru. The launches will be phased rather than released entirely at once. The company's current portfolio has a development potential of more than 70 million sq ft across projects under execution or at the planning stage, and it targets 12 quarters of ready-to-launch visibility.
The consolidation of the L&T Group's real estate assets under L&T Realty is moving through regulatory approvals, with the NCLT process expected to conclude shortly. Kumar said the restructuring is not driven by a need to raise capital but sets the stage for a potential public listing in the future.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both Business Standard and Mint ran their interviews as neutral, straight reports, letting Kumar's own words carry the story. Business Standard devoted more space to operational details: construction cost pressures from the West Asia crisis, the 85:15 residential-commercial mix, and the measured pace of hospitality expansion. Mint foregrounded the five-year target of 150 million sq ft and the four growth pillars, and added market context such as quarterly sales data from Liases Foras and competitor activity from Birla Estates and Adani Properties. Neither outlet offered a critical counterpoint on the company's cyclical risk or the supply-demand imbalance in housing. The coverage is uniform in its reliance on the company's own projections, the one concrete pending item both agree on is the NCLT approval for the group consolidation.
