The joint venture company has been established for the development of Gems & Jewellery Park under Public Private Partnership (PPP) mode at Krishi Upaj Mandi, Mandi Road, Pandri, Raipur (Chhattisgarh). As reported by Business Standard, this marks a strategic expansion into the gems and jewellery sector for Ashoka Buildcon, leveraging the PPP model for infrastructure development in the state. The project involves the development of a 38,922 sq. metre land parcel and aims to create a dedicated infrastructure ecosystem for the gems and jewellery sector in the state. As per the agreement, Ashoka Buildcon will pay a premium of ₹112.40 crore along with an annual lease rent equivalent to 2% of the premium amount, subject to a 10% escalation every fourth year. The project has been awarded on a lease basis for an initial period of 30 years, extendable up to 90 years, with the company required to complete construction within five years.
The collaboration between Ashoka Buildcon and RDB Real Estate Constructions Limited represents a special purpose vehicle structure designed specifically for this project development. According to the announcement, this joint venture approach allows both companies to leverage their respective expertise in infrastructure and real estate development for the gems and jewellery park project in Chhattisgarh.
