With a market capitalization of Rs. 3,661.60 Crores on Wednesday, the shares of Kolte-Patil Developers Ltd surged by up to 1.26%, reaching a high of Rs. 413.00 compared to its previous closing price of Rs. 407.85. The Committee of Independent Directors (IDC) of Kolte-Patil Developers Ltd has recommended the open offer, which was published in multiple newspapers on August 19, 2025, including Financial Express (English), Jansatta (Hindi), Navshakti (Marathi, Mumbai edition), and Loksatta (Marathi, Pune edition).
Kolte-Patil Developers Ltd has been a pioneer in redefining living spaces for over 30 years, since its inception in 1991. The company has developed over 68 residential complexes, IT parks, integrated townships, and commercial properties, covering more than 30 million square feet of area delivered. Currently, it has around 36 million square feet under execution, approval, and in its land bank. The company’s projects span multiple geographies, like Pune, Mumbai, and Bengaluru, catering to various market segments such as Mid-premium – Premium, Premium Luxury, and Township.
The company's financial performance, however, has seen a significant decline in the recent quarter. In Q1FY24-25, the company’s revenue dropped by 72% from Rs. 350.29 crore to Rs. 96.81 crore. Meanwhile, the Net profit declined from Rs. 6.23 crore to a loss of Rs. 16.99 crore during the same period. Despite these challenges, the company is positioned for substantial multi-year growth with a project portfolio of 35.5 million square feet, spanning ongoing, unsold, under approval, and land bank properties. The portfolio has a potential top-line value of approximately ₹28,500 crore, including the partner’s share.
The distribution of projects is as follows: Pune leads with 3.2 million square feet of ongoing projects, 8.6 million square feet under approval, and 21.4 million square feet in its land bank. Mumbai contributes 0.2 million square feet ongoing, 1.0 million square feet under approval, and 0.8 million square feet in its land bank. Bengaluru accounts for 0.1 million square feet ongoing and 0.2 million square feet under approval, with no land bank projects.
The acquisition by Blackstone is expected to provide a significant boost to Kolte-Patil Developers Ltd, helping the company to leverage Blackstone’s global expertise and resources. This strategic partnership is likely to enhance the company’s project execution capabilities, financial strength, and market presence, ultimately benefiting both the company and its shareholders.
