Shriram's Manjari Launch Slips to Q3, Pune Buyers Wait on Approvals

Shriram's Manjari Launch Slips to Q3, Pune Buyers Wait on Approvals

Shriram Properties has moved its residential launch in Manjari, Pune from the second quarter to the third quarter of FY27, which runs October to December 2026. The change was disclosed on 13 November 2026 through the company's revised launch calendar, and it hinges on Pune local authority approvals that have not yet been granted. For buyers, the practical point is simple: the Manjari project is not yet RERA registered and cannot be booked or sold until registration is complete.

The Story

Shriram Properties' FY27 launch programme now totals 5.93 msf across 11 projects. Of that, 5.25 msf is concentrated in the second half of the year, and 2.65 msf sits in Bengaluru. Only 0.68 msf launched in the first quarter. The revised schedule means no launch remains in Q2 at all, because two projects have shifted to later quarters.

The Manjari project is listed at 2.30 msf of total area, of which 1.00 msf is planned for launch this fiscal year. Management said the land is being secured through an FSI purchase from the owner of the existing township on the site. On the Q2 FY27 earnings call, the company explained that it had placed the launch in Q3 rather than Q2 because the land transaction and RERA timing were uncertain in Maharashtra, and that launches can slip by a couple of months.

Chennai's Gateway C Zone moved in the other direction, from Q2 to Q4 (January to March 2027), with 0.91 msf of apartment launch area.

What This Means If You're Buying

For a Manjari buyer, the timeline has effectively moved by one quarter. Anyone hoping to book in the coming months will need to wait until the Pune approvals come through and RERA registration is in place. Until then, any figure you see for the project is an indication, not an offer.

Project listings describe the homes as 2 and 3 BHK apartments, with one listing giving a carpet range of 750 to 1,150 sq ft and another mentioning 4 BHK options. Those listings also show the price as coming soon and expect possession by 2029. Treat these as planning details that will firm up only once the project is registered and the official price sheet is released.

The location carries its own considerations. Manjari sits along the Pune-Solapur highway on its southern side, with the Hadapsar-Manjari-Wagholi road running through it as the main north-south link. Manjari Budruk railway station is on the Pune-Daund suburban section, and Pune Railway Station and Pune International Airport are each about 13 to 14 km away. Metro Line 4, approved by the Union Cabinet in November 2025, will interchange at Hadapsar railway station. Line 4B, a planned 11.4 km elevated line running from Hadapsar through Manjari to Loni Kalbhor, has been approved by the state and is waiting for central sanction. Residents' reviews on locality sites note that there is no metro within the immediate area yet, so buyers should judge the location on today's road and rail access.

Synergy Infracon's Take

We read this as a sensible, if cautious, correction rather than a red flag. The company chose a later quarter for Manjari instead of forcing an early launch while the land deal and approvals were still moving, and that is generally the more responsible choice for a buyer. A builder that launches before its approvals are in place tends to create delays for the people who have already paid.

That said, the calendar is ambitious. Most of the 5.25 msf planned for the second half is still at the approval or plan-submission stage, and a slip of a couple of months is something management itself has flagged. Shriram's latest quarter looked healthy, with total revenue up 19% to Rs 272.3 crore and net profit of Rs 21.6 crore, but net debt rose to Rs 761 crore at September 2026 from Rs 432 crore in June, after five joint ventures were brought in as wholly owned subsidiaries. Buyers should keep that balance sheet movement in view alongside the launch timeline.

What We'd Advise Right Now

Here is how we would approach this news if you are considering a purchase in Manjari.

• Do not book yet. The project still needs Pune local authority approvals and RERA registration, and it is not open for sale or booking until both are in place.
• Ask for the RERA number before any token amount. Once registration is granted, check the project on the MahaRERA portal and confirm the carpet area, price and possession date against the filed details.
• Compare with launched projects nearby. Ready or near-ready homes in Hadapsar, Kharadi and Magarpatta give you a firm price and possession date to benchmark against.
• Budget for a slip. Plan your finances with a possession date a few months later than the one listed, so a delay does not disrupt your rent or loan schedule.
• Let our sales team run the checks. We can review the approvals, the agreement terms and the payment plan with you before you commit to anything.
