4. Operating alongside premier real estate developers
Kalpataru Limited operates in some of India’s most competitive real estate markets, particularly the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) and Pune, which remain its primary focus areas.
According to the Anarock Report, Kalpataru's key competitors in the areas where it currently operates include prominent real estate developers such as Lodha Group, Godrej Properties Limited, Rustomjee Group, Oberoi Realty, Mahindra Lifespace Developers, Prestige Estates, and Sunteck Realty.
5. Premium and mid-segment housing drives Kalpataru’s portfolio
