Therefore, the company's subsidiary, Man Vastucon LLP, is taking steps to sell development rights for the third phase of the 'Aaradhya Highpark' project, which is located close to Dahisar. The first and the second phases of the project, which are top-lined as 'Aaradhya Highpark' and 'Aaradhya Parkwood' respectively, have been successful.

This change also highlights MICL's intention of serving the high-end segment of the real estate market in Mumbai, considering the changing need for luxury properties in the city's real estate landscape.

The Aaradhya OnePark project has played a vital role in terms of sales for the company as since its launch in January 2024, the project has achieved about 50% of its sales within a period of just six months. The apartments are situated in Ghatkopar East on 60 feet Road and consist of 3 BHK, 4BHK and 5BHK apartments with 50 lifestyle facilities. Its ideal location, great quality of construction, and thoughtfully designed products have received a high level of market response, thus validating MICL as a reliable developer in the luxury segment of real estate.

In Q2FY25, for instance, net sales decreased by 38% to Rs 70.60 crore. Furthermore, net profits suffered a sharp decline of 34% decreasing to Rs 29.72 crore when compared to Q2FY24. A mid-year analysis indicated a 21 percent reduction in net revenues which totaled Rs 571.94 crore and a 26 percent drop in net income, which amounted to Rs 112.06 crore.

Nonetheless, the company achieved a positive growth of 16% in net profit for FY24 at an amount of Rs 300.39 crore.

Having over 50 years of experience working on Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) projects for ports, roads and industrial sectors, MICL has earned a reputation for delivering projects on time with high-quality standards. Its diversification strategy into the Mumbai real estate market has added even more muscle to its portfolio which combines construction management skills and luxury residential development.

MICL continues to enhance its place as a key player in the spheres of civil construction and real estate, adding value for the stakeholders and changing the notion of urbanism in Mumbai.
