Buoyed by reports that property developer Godrej Properties Ltd had sold the entire first phase of its Godrej Summit project of over one million sq. ft in Gurgaon, shares of GPL spurted by about Rs 15 in the stock exchanges in the morning today.

GPL said the project coming up in Sector 104 of Gurgaon has 695 apartments spread over 1 million sq. ft.
