Godrej Properties Ltd. (GPL), one of India’s leading real estate developers, announced the successful handover of over 500 plots in a single day at its premium plotted development, Forest Estate, Nagpur, through the first Nagpur edition of its signature handover IP, Shubh Aarambh. Conceptualised as a culturally rooted and immersive handover experience, Shubh Aarambh is designed to mark a meaningful transition for customers as they begin a new chapter in their homeownership journey. Drawing inspiration from Nagpur’s identity as India’s ‘Zero Mile’ city, the event brought together cultural expressions from the North, South, East, and West, creating a shared celebration of India’s diversity and traditions.

 

The large-scale handover represents an important milestone for Godrej Properties in the Vidarbha region and reflects growing customer preference for planned premium plotted communities with strong infrastructure and long-term livability. Strategically located near Samruddhi Mahamarg, Forest Estate offers enhanced regional connectivity between Mumbai and Nagpur, while also benefiting from proximity to MIHAN SEZ, one of the region’s major employment and IT hubs. Speaking at the event, Subhasish Pattanaik, CEO – West & East Zone, Godrej Properties, said, “Infrastructure-led development is central to nation building, as cities expand beyond traditional boundaries and well-planned residential communities become key to sustainable urban growth. Shubh Aarambh at Forest Estate, Nagpur, reflects this approach by bringing together connectivity, planning, and customer experience. We are seeing steady interest in Nagpur from homebuyers within Maharashtra as well as neighbouring states, reinforcing the city’s relevance as a well-connected residential destination.”

 

Sharing a sustainability and design perspective, Rohit Mohan, Chief Design and Sustainability Officer, Godrej Properties, said, “At Godrej Properties, sustainability is a fundamental lens through which we design and deliver communities. It is about balancing nature, infrastructure, and human experience to create places that are liveable, resilient, and relevant over the long term. At Forest Estate, this approach is reflected in the way green spaces, open areas, and ecological planning are integrated into the larger development, ensuring that everyday living is enhanced while maintaining harmony with the natural environment.”
