What Unitech Limited does

Unitech Limited is an Indian real estate development company founded in 1971 that builds and leases residential townships, apartments, commercial offices, IT parks, retail malls, and plotted developments. Since 2017 the Company has operated under the supervision of the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India following severe financial distress at the erstwhile management level; a Government-appointed Board led by Chairman & Managing Director Y.S. Malik manages day-to-day affairs under a Court-approved Resolution Framework (latest version dated 08.08.2022). The product portfolio spans luxury villas (The Villas, Espace Premiere, Aspen Greens), group housing apartments (Fresco, Harmony, The Residences, Sunbreeze, Vistas, South Park), independent builder floors (Anthea Floors), plotted developments (Nirvana Country, Ananda), commercial office complexes (Signature Towers, Unitech Cyber Park, Infospace), retail destinations (The Great India Place, Gardens Galleria), affordable housing under the Unihomes brand, and large integrated townships (Uniworld City in Chennai and Mohali, UGCC in Noida). Geographic footprint covers Gurugram, Noida, Greater Noida, Chennai, Kolkata, Mohali, Bangalore, Bhopal, Lucknow, Dehradun, and Ambala, with 16 environmental clearances obtained across multiple states between March 2023 and April 2026.

The Company makes money primarily through one-time real estate sales of residential, commercial, and retail inventory direct to consumers through project-level sales offices, an e-Auction platform for plot/property disposals, and channel partner networks. Pricing is on a per-unit basis, with starting prices for plotted developments clustering in the Rs. 46-52 lakh range (e.g., Ananda Rewari at Rs. 52.2 lakh, Ananda Ambala at Rs. 46.65 lakh) and premium segments occupying higher tiers. Distribution incorporates an e-Tendering portal (etenders.unitechgroup.com, operated in partnership with Nextenders India) handling 269 tender events and 473 registered bidders for construction contracts. Marketing relies on the Company website, public notices, direct email communications to registered homebuyers, and physical notice boards at sites.

The Company operates in a resolution mode rather than an active new-launch growth mode: 16,921 residential and commercial units sold by the erstwhile management remain unfinished, with 14,887 possession-seeking and 770 refund-seeking homebuyers on the books; 24,190 unique fixed deposit holders await refunds aggregating Rs. 82.04 crore in principal (approved by Supreme Court order dated 29.04.2026). Construction completion is the dominant operating motion, evidenced by 49 tenders awarded for construction works, 1,253 units handed over with Occupation Certificates, and a Rs. 613.20 crore demand raised against homebuyers (of which Rs. 392.45 crore had been collected as of 31.05.2025). Technology infrastructure consists of internal operational portals (connect.unitechgroup.com, repaymentlistb.unitechgroup.com, etenders.unitechgroup.com) and an online EMI calculator; no AI/ML capabilities, mobile applications, or public APIs are in evidence. The wholly-owned subsidiary Unitech Power Transmission Limited (UPTL) is being divested, consistent with a focus on the core real estate book.
