The real estate group has committed 20 per cent of the corpus size as sponsor capital for the fund. This investment is expected to bolster the group's portfolio and drive growth in the sector. The fund aims to invest in up to eight deals over a period of six years, as per a statement.
This initiative is part of Meenakshi Group's broader strategy to capitalize on the growing demand for real estate in India. The group has a strong track record of successful projects and is well-positioned to leverage this new fund to identify and invest in high-potential opportunities.
In a related development, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) and the Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority (IEPFA) joined hands to conduct the maiden 'Niveshak Shivir' in Pune. The investor outreach camp was conducted on Sunday and focused on assisting shareholders in reclaiming unpaid dividends and unclaimed shares, a statement said.
