The ceremony took place during Tamil Nadu’s Global Investors Meet (GIM) 2024 and was graced by the presence of MK Stalin, the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.

The first MoU, entered into with the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA), outlines Brigade Group's strategic expansion in Chennai. The focus will be on establishing two high-rise residential buildings in the thriving IT belt of Sholinganallur, with a substantial investment exceeding Rs 2000 crores. This ambitious project aligns with Brigade Group's commitment to contributing to the city's real estate landscape, enhancing both its residential and commercial facets.

The second MoU, inked with the Electronics Corporation of Tamil Nadu (ELCOT) under the Information Technology and Digital Services Department of the Government of Tamil Nadu, involves an investment of approximately Rs 1400 crores. This investment is earmarked for developing high-rise structures catering to both commercial and residential needs. The chosen locations span diverse micro-markets in Chennai, including the prominent Mount Road area. These ventures, collectively, are projected to be completed within the next 3-4 years, contributing significantly to the region's economic and infrastructural development.

Pradyumna Krishnakumar, Executive Director of Brigade Enterprises Ltd, emphasized the strategic importance of Chennai in the company's growth trajectory. He highlighted the city's multifaceted potential across residential, commercial, and hospitality sectors. Krishnakumar noted the exceptional growth and promise exhibited by these sectors in the past year. Furthermore, Chennai's emergence as a hub for IT/ITES and healthcare sectors underscores the robust demand for commercial spaces, making it a prime focus for Brigade Group's strategic investments.

The MoU with ELCOT was formalized through the exchange of signatures between Pradyumna Krishnakumar and Dr. S Aneesh Sekhar, IAS, Managing Director of ELCOT. Simultaneously, the MoU with the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority was solidified through the collaboration of Hrishikesh Nair, Chief Operating Officer of Brigade Enterprises Ltd, and Anshul Mishra, IAS, Member Secretary of CMDA within the Housing and Urban Development Department of the Government of Tamil Nadu.

These agreements signify a crucial step in fostering collaboration between the private sector, represented by Brigade Group, and the government of Tamil Nadu. The strategic investments outlined in the MoUs not only underscore Brigade Group's commitment to contributing to Tamil Nadu's economic growth but also align with the state's vision for sustainable development. The real estate developments proposed in the MoUs are poised to redefine Chennai's skyline, ushering in a new era of modern living and commercial excellence. As the projects unfold over the next few years, they are expected to create employment opportunities, boost the local economy, and contribute to the overall development narrative of Tamil Nadu.
