Century Real Estate, one of Bengaluru's oldest property developers, has raised ₹1,850 crore to support its future and ongoing real estate projects. This is one of the biggest funding deals in India's property sector in 2025 and shows that investors still believe strongly in Bengaluru's growing real estate market.

The money will help Century speed up construction of homes, commercial buildings, and even new townships in and around the city. It also gives them the ability to buy land and launch more projects over the next few years.

Two major international investors are backing Century Real Estate in this funding:

  1. Ares Asia, a global investment firm, has invested ₹1,600 crore in two parts
  2. SC Lowy, another international financial group, added ₹250 crore

Together, their support signals strong global interest in Bengaluru's property sector. Many experts see this as a positive sign that foreign investors trust Indian developers and the long-term potential of this market.

Ravindra Pai, Managing Director of Century Real Estate, said:

"Securing ₹1,850 crore in funding is a testament to the trust our financial partners place in Century Real Estate's vision and execution."

The company plans to use this funding to unlock ₹14,000 crore in Gross Development Value (GDV) over the next five years. This means they will build and sell properties worth that much across their projects.

This is not just about money—it's about growth, trust, and a larger vision for Bengaluru's future.

  1. Expansion Plans: The funds will be used to buy land, build new projects, and finish current developments faster.
  2. Bengaluru's Real Estate Boom: The city is growing fast, especially with the IT industry, rising income levels, and metro rail expansion. Century wants to use this moment to grow.
  3. Smart Funding Strategy: By raising debt (instead of selling shares), Century keeps control of the company while still getting the funds they need to grow.

This is the same approach taken by developers like Birla Estates, which is building Birla Evara, a gated community off Sarjapur Road. Projects like these are also tapping into the demand for quality housing in East Bengaluru.

Century isn't just raising funds—they have a solid plan for what's coming next.

  1. Over 10 new residential and plotted layout projects are expected to launch in FY26
  2. These projects aim for a combined GDV of ₹9,000 crore
  1. A mixed-use project in Whitefield with 1.4 million sq. ft. of housing space (GDV ₹2,200 crore)
  2. A township project in North Bengaluru, Phase 1 (GDV ₹1,250 crore)
  3. A residential community in Yelahanka (GDV ₹1,200 crore)
  4. A plotted layout in Mysuru, their first major project outside Bengaluru
  1. Century will also launch 1.5 million sq. ft. of commercial office space in FY26
  2. It's part of a bigger 3-year plan to build 4.5 million sq. ft. of commercial property

These projects are being built in Bengaluru's most active zones—North, East, and Outer Ring Road areas—where demand is highest due to IT parks and metro access.

This funding didn't come out of nowhere. Century Real Estate has had a strong year so far:

  1. ₹1,024 crore in sales bookings from April to September 2024
  2. 121% jump in home sales compared to the same time last year
  3. Luxury homes made up nearly 70% of their total sales
  4. Prices per square foot went up from ₹9,000 to ₹11,500, showing stronger returns

Luxury housing, like the one offered at Birla Evara, is becoming a key part of Bengaluru's real estate story. Many buyers are now looking for more space, better amenities, and long-term value.

No big expansion is without its challenges. Here are a few things Century will need to manage:

  1. Loan Repayments: They'll need to keep up strong sales to repay the ₹1,850 crore debt on time.
  2. Market Changes: If the market slows or new policies are introduced, it could affect their plans.
  3. Project Delays: Delivering so many large projects on time will require strong teams and fast approvals.
  4. Interest Rates: If borrowing costs go up, project profits might shrink.

Still, most experts believe Bengaluru's real estate market is strong enough to support this growth—especially with more people moving in and more companies setting up offices.

  1. More Choices for Buyers: With so many new homes and offices coming up, buyers will have more options.
  2. Increased Investment Confidence: When global investors back Indian companies, others take notice.
  3. Job Creation: All these projects will create thousands of direct and indirect jobs across the city.
  1. Started: In 1973 by P Dayananda Pai and P Satish Pai
  2. Land Bank: Over 3,000 acres
  3. Portfolio: Over 20 million sq. ft. of projects across housing, office buildings, hotels, and townships

Century Real Estate's ₹1,850 crore deal is more than just a funding round. It's a bet on Bengaluru's future. With plans to build across Whitefield, North Bengaluru, and even Mysuru, Century is clearly aiming big.

Just like Birla Estates is reimagining East Bengaluru with Birla Evara, Century is building for tomorrow's Bengaluru—bigger, better, and more connected.
