In July 2025, Godrej Developments announced its entry into Raipur with the acquisition of a roughly 50-acre parcel earmarked for a premium plotted residential development.
Godrej Properties said that it has acquired around 50-acres of land in Raipur, Chhattisgarh, to develop a premium plotted residential project, with Gaurav Pandey, MD & CEO, calling it an entry into the dynamic city of Raipur. The plot is designated for a premium plotted residential development, featuring an estimated saleable area of approximately 9.5 lakh square feet. The site sits on the Old Dhamtari Road corridor, within the Doma-1 revenue village, marking the company's first project footprint in the state.
The land parcel is strategically located near Old Dhamtari Road, one of Raipur's fastest-growing real estate corridors, offering seamless connectivity to key city nodes such as Central Raipur, Raipur Railway Station, and Swami Vivekananda Airport. Connectivity is further reinforced by the Atal Path (Raipur–Naya Raipur Expressway) and proposed expressways to Hyderabad and Visakhapatnam. The Atal Path provides rapid access to the new planned capital, and the area stands to benefit further from the proposed Raipur–Hyderabad and Raipur–Visakhapatnam corridors, which would meaningfully reduce travel times to major South and Central Indian cities. The Mana railway station also contributes to inter-city connectivity for residents of this belt.
Doma-1 itself remains a modestly sized revenue settlement rather than a dense urban ward. The village spans a total geographical area of 419.05 hectares, and Raipur is the nearest town for all major economic activities, approximately 14 km away. According to the 2011 Census, Doma 1 has a total population of about 1,416. That low base is precisely what makes a 50-acre gated plotted township viable here — contiguous land at scale, still within commuting distance of the city's commercial core.
The Old Dhamtari Road belt is not a greenfield zone waiting to be activated; educational institutions in and around the corridor include Delhi Public School, Krishna Public School, Dronacharya Public School, and Kushabhau Thakre Patrakarita college, with Kalinga University among the higher-education options within range. On the healthcare side, the corridor is served by established multi-specialty facilities including Narayana Hrudayalaya MMI Hospital and Ramkrishna Care Hospital. The area is witnessing rapid development, supported by robust social infrastructure including reputed educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and retail hubs. Pricing has moved accordingly: average property price per sq ft for apartments on Old Dhamtari Road appreciated 25.0% in the last one year.
Public listings tied to the Doma-1 parcel describe the project under the name Godrej Greenvale Estate. Godrej Properties has introduced Godrej Greenvale Estate Raipur, a premium plotted development located at Old Dhamtari Road, Doma 1, Raipur, spread across approximately 50 acres, featuring thoughtfully planned residential plots with modern infrastructure, landscaped open spaces, and lifestyle amenities. Plot formats referenced against this land parcel run from roughly 1,200 to 2,400 sq ft. Plans reference a clubhouse of more than 20,000 sq ft housing a gymnasium, swimming pool, and dedicated recreational areas. The development carries a Chhattisgarh RERA registration.
Godrej Developments arrives in Raipur carrying the weight of a much older parent group. Godrej Properties Limited is the real estate arm of the 127-year-old Godrej Group, one of India's most trusted and diversified conglomerates. The listed development arm itself was established in 1990 and headquartered in Mumbai, evolving into one of the nation's top three developers, with a dominant presence in high-growth markets like Delhi-NCR, Bengaluru, Mumbai, and Pune. Its portfolio covers residential, commercial, township and plotted developments across 12 cities, including the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, Pune, Bengaluru, Delhi-NCR, Gurugram, Noida, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Nagpur and Kochi.
Scale at the balance-sheet level backs up the Chhattisgarh move. Godrej Properties sold properties worth Rs 28,800 crore during the 2024 calendar year, the highest among all listed real estate companies in India. As of September 30, 2025, the company's operations supported 114 active and upcoming projects spanning approximately 232 million square feet of saleable area. Raipur's entry reflects a wider pattern of moving into emerging cities on the back of that balance sheet: Raipur, with its growing demand for residential plotted developments and strong infrastructure growth, aligns strategically with the company's focus on entering high-growth cities through plotted developments.
For a buyer, the Doma-1 plotted format is a chance to acquire land under a nationally recognised brand at a stage before the corridor's infrastructure — the expressway links, the metro-route upgrades, the retail expansion along Old Dhamtari Road — fully matures. Connectivity is being bolstered by major infrastructure projects like the Atal Path and further expressway extensions, which is the same logic that drew the developer to acquire land here in the first place rather than in Raipur's already-dense inner wards.
