Puravankara Ltd, a Bengaluru-based real estate group, plans to spend ₹3,000 crore to take up 15-16 million sq ft in the next 12 to 18 months under its Provident premium-affordable housing and Puravankara brands.

Anand Narayanan, Chief Operating Officer, said: “The company’s fourth quarter sales were the best in the last 10 to 12 quarters. Volumes which were down post demonetisation are coming back to the market.”

According to Narayanan, Puravankara’s expo, BIG 72Hrs, and its ‘Resale Assistance Programme’ attempt to mimic consumer behaviour in the automobile industry, with its emphasis on exchanging an old car for a new one.
