Project Pipeline Updates and Challenges
The planned relaunch of Brigade Morgan Heights was impacted by the revocation of its environmental clearance by SEIAA, leading to refunds for affected homebuyers and its removal from the immediate launch pipeline. Key residential projects like Hyderabad Neopolis 2 and Whitefield-Hoskote are now expected to launch in Q3 FY27, earlier than previously anticipated. Cornerstone Utopia 2 is targeted for Q1 FY28, while the Kengeri land parcel faces ongoing litigation, delaying its development.
