Godrej Properties formalised its arrival in Kurukshetra in December 2022, when the Mumbai-based developer announced the purchase of approximately 62 acres of land in the city as part of its National Capital Region expansion. The Mumbai-based real estate developer said that it has acquired approximately 62 acres of land in Kurukshetra, Haryana, offering approximately 1.4 million square feet of plotted residential development, offering attractive plot sizes along with exceptional lifestyle amenities. The site was chosen specifically for its road access: the site is strategically located with access from National Highway 44, and Kurukshetra is a self-sufficient city with good infrastructure consisting of schools, colleges, hospitals and has significant historical and religious importance. Announcing the entry, Gaurav Pandey, MD & CEO Designate, Godrej Properties, said the company is pleased to announce its entry into Kurukshetra, noting that Haryana has been a key market for the company and that it looks forward to strengthening its presence in the state, aiming to build a residential community that creates long-term value for its residents.
The Kurukshetra land parcel has been developed into Godrej Parkland Estate, a plotted township in Sector 41, at Hansala village just off NH-44 near Pipli. It is Godrej Kurukshetra's residential project at Hansala, with attractive plots ranging from 110 to 180 sq. yards, set across 59.92 acres, strategically situated on NH-44 starting at 55 Lakhs onward. The township is organised into distinct blocks, each anchored around a themed green space: the project features residential plots, meticulously planned and accommodated in 5 blocks, each with a Garden of 5 Senses. Godrej has positioned it as a category-first offering for the city, marketed as the first project in Kurukshetra which has clubhouse and amenities in plots, with the gated society providing 2 clubhouses along with a swimming pool, gym, tennis court, spa and other amenities. Independent trackers place the current scale at around 1,070 residential plots in different sizes, starting from 112 sq. yd. to 179 sq. yd., with plot prices ranging from around ₹80 Lakhs to ₹2.57 Crore, registered under RERA number HRERA-PKL-KRK-483-2023, with the project launched in August 2023 and possession set for September 2026.
Sector 41 sits on the Grand Trunk Road alignment that Kurukshetra has always been organised around. Kurukshetra Junction on the Delhi-Kalka Line is the nearest railway station at around seven km distance, while the industrial area in Sector-2 Kurukshetra is within a radius of five km. Educational infrastructure is close at hand too: the National Institute of Design (NID) Haryana is about seven km away, and Kurukshetra University is at a distance of about 12 km from the project. For long-haul travel, the Shaheed Bhagat Singh Airport in Chandigarh is approximately 92 km away, and essential amenities including hospitals, schools, retail options and tourist spots are accessible to Sector 41 within a ten km radius. At the city level, Kurukshetra's position right in the middle of the GT Road (NH-44) makes it well-connected and easily accessible from Delhi, Karnal, Ambala, Panipat, Chandigarh, and routes going to Himachal, and civic upgrades continue: the city has invested in modernising its road network, water supply, street lighting, sanitation and green belts, with quality of life rising as the area around Brahma Sarovar is beautified and tourism infrastructure and civic facilities expand.
The Kurukshetra land buy was not an isolated move. Godrej has been building a chain of plotted townships along Haryana's NCR corridor over the preceding years. In March 2022, the company entered Sonipat with a similar model: Godrej Properties bought about 50 acres of land at Sonipat in Haryana for plotted development, offering about 10 lakh square feet of plotted residential development with attractive plot sizes, a project now operating as Godrej Green Estate in Sector 34, Sonipat, registered with the Haryana Real Estate Regulatory Authority under RERA Registration No. HRERA-PKL-SNP-348-2022. That Sonipat launch was itself framed as part of a broader push, with then MD & CEO Mohit Malhotra noting the company's entry into Sonipat fits well with its strategy of deepening its presence across the country's leading real estate markets. The Kurukshetra acquisition arrived alongside continued Gurugram activity, including an agreement for development of 14.27 acres of land in Gurugram, Haryana announced on 23 December 2022, and Godrej has since progressed further plotted formats near Gurugram's Dwarka Expressway corridor at Sector 100. Sector 41 in Kurukshetra therefore represents the northernmost extension, to date, of a repeatable Haryana plotted-township format that Godrej has already tested in Sonipat and around Gurugram.
Godrej Properties carries the weight of a 128-year-old industrial group into its real estate business. Godrej Properties was established in 1990 as the real estate development arm of the Godrej Group, an Indian conglomerate founded in 1897 by Ardeshir Godrej, and is headquartered in Mumbai as a subsidiary of Godrej Industries Group, listed on both the BSE and NSE following its 2010 initial public offering which raised approximately USD 100 million. Leadership today rests with Executive Chairman Pirojsha Adi Godrej, since 2012, with Gaurav Pandey serving as Managing Director and CEO. Scale is where the company's Kurukshetra pitch draws its credibility: as of FY25, the company employs around 2,391 people and reported pre-sales of ₹29,444 crore, and over 100,000 families have found a home with Godrej Properties, making it India's largest residential developer by both value and volume of homes sold. On sustainability, every project launched since 2010 has been a certified green building, and Godrej Properties has ranked among the top listed residential developers globally on the GRESB sustainability benchmark, including the number-one position in 2020, 2021 and 2022. For a buyer evaluating Sector 41 alongside unbranded local colonies, that combination of a 35-year development record, national scale, and a Haryana pipeline that already runs through Sonipat and Gurugram is the context the Godrej name brings to Kurukshetra.
