In a major step toward urban transformation, Valor Estate Ltd has issued a formal Letter of Intent to GHV Infra Projects Ltd for the execution of a large-scale redevelopment project in Mumbai. The project, valued at approximately Rs 20 billion, is set to reshape a key zone in the city under the Project-Affected Persons (PAP) Scheme, with a focus on affordable housing and infrastructure upliftment. The announcement, made public on August 21, 2025, marks a strategic collaboration between two infrastructure players aiming to deliver high-impact urban solutions.
The development will be carried out on Valor Estate’s land parcel in Malad East, Mumbai, and includes the construction, completion, and handover of over 13,000 housing units. The project is part of the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai’s long-term resettlement and rehabilitation initiative for displaced residents and slum dwellers.
