Gurugram-based Elan Group has raised $60 million (Approximately Rs 475 crore) from global alternative investment firm PAG, months after raising over $50 million (about Rs 425 crore) from PAG.

The investment will be used towards growth capital to endorse existing debt and to scale up construction of “The Presidential“, the newly launched premium residential project of Elan Group, in Sector 106 Gurugram.

With this second round of funding, Elan has secured a total of USD 110 million (Rs 900 crore) from PAG in last five months.

“This follow-on financing from PAG further strengthens the partnership between both firms,” said Sandeep Agarwal, CFO, Elan Group.

The group recently launched a high-end residential project in Sector 106, Gurugram, with a saleable area of around 3 million sqft and around 800 units. The project enjoys accessibility from the Dwarka Expressway and is ten minutes from International Airport.

“We are glad to associate the Elan Group as it continues to grow and scale up, in one of the fastest growing economies in the region. We look forward to exploring new opportunities to partner with Elan in Gurugram and beyond,” said Kanak Kapur, Managing Director and Partner of Credit & Markets, PAG.

It is a 40-acre land parcel with a full licence, of which 30 acres will be developed for residential use and 10 acres for commercial use.

“With the project Elan – The Presidential, we are entering the residential real estate segment located at the Dwarka Expressway. The project will be developed in three phases and we are expecting a top line of Rs 10,000 crore from it,” said Ravish Kapoor, managing director, Elan Group.
