The DLF, in a statement, said the real estate market continues to remain muted in most of the micro-markets. But it is seeing early signs of green shoots of demand emerging, especially in its luxury development - Camellias in DLF 5, Gurgaon. "We are fully geared up to ride the up-cycle with inventory of finished valued at over Rs 4,000 crore, unsold inventory of launched projects under construction worth Rs 13,000 crore and future pipeline of projects worth Rs 7,000 crore, for which all approvals are in place," DLF said.

We are committed to create one or more sizeable REIT platform either independently or in partnership with strategic/financials partners not only to harness the growth in the market but also to unlock or part monetise the company's investment.

"REIT platforms are expected to be a potential game changer as it unlocks value, aids spin-off of debt and creates long term free cash flows in the form of dividends."
