Godrej Properties sells over Rs 1,000 crore of homes at Pune project launch
MUMBAI: Godrej Properties Ltd has achieved record-breaking sales exceeding Rs 1,000 crore at the launch of its Godrej Evergreen Square project in Hinjewadi, Pune. The Mumbai-based developer sold 1,398 homes with a combined area of more than 1.23 million square feet.
The project, launched in November 2024 just four months after land acquisition, represents Godrej’s most successful launch ever in Pune by both value and volume. Godrej Evergreen Square has a developable potential of 2.41 million square feet and an estimated revenue potential of approximately Rs 2,045 crore.
Located in Hinjewadi, an established residential area in western Pune, the development benefits from proximity to well-developed social infrastructure including schools, healthcare facilities, retail outlets and entertainment venues. The area offers strong connectivity to major highways and expressways, with additional appeal coming from a new metro line connecting Hinjewadi to Shivaji Nagar. A metro station just two minutes from the project will significantly enhance accessibility for residents.
“We are delighted with the response to our project, Godrej Evergreen Square. This has now become the best-ever launch in Pune residential real estate,” said Godrej Properties MD & CEO Gaurav Pandey. “We’d like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank our customers and all stakeholders for their trust and confidence in Godrej Properties. We will do our best to ensure Godrej Evergreen Square offers its residents an outstanding living experience.”Gor

Ather Energy doubles service network to 500 centres nationwide
EV maker scales support alongside growth to keep riders on the road
MUMBAI: Ather Energy is quietly building more than just scooters. It is building the backbone to keep them running.
The electric two-wheeler maker has expanded its service network to 500 authorised centres across India, nearly doubling its footprint in a year from 277. The move mirrors its growing retail presence and signals a clear focus on one often overlooked part of EV ownership, what happens after the purchase.
From the outset, Ather has prioritised service support in every city it enters, aiming to make ownership as smooth as the ride itself. Its Gold Service Centres bring in upgraded customer lounges, modern equipment and processes designed to make servicing more transparent and reliable.
Speed, too, is part of the pitch. Through its ExpressCare initiative, riders can get periodic maintenance done in about an hour, now available across 82 centres, turning what used to be a chore into a quick pit stop.
Ather Energy chief business officer Ravneet Singh Phokela said, “Crossing 500 service centres is an important milestone as we scale across the country. Reliable after-sales support is central to the ownership experience, and our focus remains on consistent service quality and accessibility.”
The expansion comes as demand grows for models like the Ather 450 and the Rizta, which have helped the company reach a broader set of riders across metros and emerging cities alike.
Alongside servicing, Ather continues to power up infrastructure through the Ather Grid, now one of the largest fast-charging networks for two-wheelers, with over 4,300 charging points.
With plans to scale further and deepen its presence, Ather’s approach is clear. Selling the scooter may start the journey, but keeping it running smoothly is what sustains it.
