Gopalakrishnan noted that his company turned profitable last financial year and reported a profit of Rs 75 crore.
Going forward, he said, the company would predominantly focus on mid-segments, both mid-market (Rs 50 lakh to Rs 1 crore worth of projects) and mid-market premium (projects worth Rs 1 crore and above up to Rs 1.50 crore).
Detailing the upcoming projects, Gopalakrishnan said the company would scale up annual sales from 4.5 million square feet in FY24 to 8-9 million square foot by 2027.

The company’s Chairman and Managing Director Murali M said Shriram Properties executed its first project in Chennai in 2006, the “Shriram Gateway” at Perungalathur and claimed that it is the largest project for the real estate industry in Tamil Nadu.
“We are moving towards the goal of doubling the volumes, triple our income and quadruple our projects in the next three years,” he said.

On the Chennai market, he said, Shriram Properties Ltd has had a strong presence for over two decades and completed six projects with more than 7 million sq ft of development in the last 10 years.
“In Chennai, we expect to add 6-8 million sq ft of projects in the pipeline over the next two years, involving capital commitment of Rs 800-Rs 1,000 crores. This would mean Shriram’s own investment of over Rs 200 crore and the rest coming from partners..” he said.
Responding to a query, Murali said the company would also explore opportunities on projects for senior retirement homes.
