MUMBAI: DAMAC Properties, a Dubai-based realty developer known for its luxury apartments, today said that it plans to invest upto $5 billion in the Indian realty market with a focus on developing high-end apartments, townships and retail structures.
"We plan to invest between $3 to 5 billion in the Indian market to develop properties in Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore and Hyderabad," Hussain Sajwani, Chairman of DAMAC Holding, parent company of DAMAC Properties said here.
Sajwani also said, "we would look to develop these properties ourselves but are also open to joint ventures with Indian companies and are presently in talks with a few of them."
The names of the Indian companies cannot be disclosed presently and the investment would mainly be for land acquisition, he said.
The company would be looking at developing luxury apartments or small high-end townships in these cities and they expect to start their first project within a year, Sajwani said.
