The CCI's approval is crucial as it allows Blackstone to proceed with its 40% stake acquisition in Kolte-Patil Developers, a leading real estate company in India. This approval is a positive step for both companies and is expected to drive growth and innovation in the Indian real estate market.
The acquisition by Blackstone will provide Kolte-Patil Developers with significant financial and strategic support, enabling the company to expand its footprint in key Indian cities like Mumbai and Bengaluru. It will also help the company accelerate its growth and tap into new market opportunities.
Blackstone's strategy in the Indian real estate market involves diversifying its portfolio with a focus on the residential segment, which is experiencing high demand due to urbanization. The acquisition of a stake in Kolte-Patil Developers is part of this broader strategy to capitalize on the growing Indian real estate market.

Despite this, collections were strong, increasing 19 per cent year-on-year and 24 per cent quarter-on-quarter to ₹704 crore.
