“We have been operating in Delhi NCR markets for the last few months and the initial response that we have received is very encouraging. Hence, we are now entering two new cities — Chandigarh and Ludhiana,” Goel said, adding that these cities are good markets from the realty and construction point of view.
Keeping in mind the size of construction business which is about USD 150 billion annually, the firm is planning to expand to 10 more cities and to achieve Rs 10 crore per month sales. It is seen that supplified witnessed Rs 50 Lakh in February sales only which is a huge amount w.r.t. the last sales as Rs 5, 11, 22 Lakh from Nov. to Jan. respectively.
