What Ashar Group does

Ashar Group is a privately held, family-owned real estate developer headquartered in Thane (within the Mumbai Metropolitan Region), founded in 2001 by Ajay Ashar. The company develops residential, commercial, retail, IT-park, educational and healthcare projects, having delivered more than 12.5 million sq.ft. and currently developing 17.5 million sq.ft. across 30+ projects in Thane, Bandra (Pali Hill), Mulund, Ghatkopar, Kalwa and Nashik.

Its residential portfolio spans affordable 1-2 BHK units starting at approximately ₹75 lakhs, premium 1-4 BHK projects such as Ashar Merac and Ashar Pulse, and ultra-luxury developments including The Legend by Ashar in Pali Hill, Bandra (transactions averaging ₹1.65 lakh/sq.ft.). Commercial assets include Ashar IT Park (Thane's largest IT park, hosting tenants such as TCS, Syntel, Bayer India and Aditya Birla Financial and supporting 80,000+ jobs), Ashar Millennia and Ashar Bellezza. The company retains and operates social infrastructure — Finland International School (5,000+ students, operated with Goenka Global Education and EduCluster Finland), Shree Mahavir Jain Hospital and a 750-bed cancer hospital being developed with Tata Cancer Team — and recently opened Mumbai's largest Trimandir at Balkum, Thane.

Ashar Group monetizes primarily through one-time sale of residential and commercial units, supplemented by recurring lease income from Ashar IT Park. Distribution is sales-led via on-site project sales teams, a website lead-capture system, channel-partner brokers and curated private events for ultra-luxury buyers. The company is recognized among the top 10 builders in MMR with zero RERA deviations, and has delivered two redevelopment projects 20 months ahead of their RERA deadlines. In March 2026 it launched Ashar Urban Futures Lab, a ₹25 crore venture studio backing 10-15 urbantech, proptech and constructiontech startups.
