Tata Motors’ Aarogya Programme Transforms Over 6.6 Lakh Lives Through Healthcare and Nutrition Interventions

September 5, 2025: As India observes National Nutrition Week, Tata Motors is also making significant strides in advancing community healthcare across the country through its Aarogya Programme. The programme adopts a three-pronged approach focused on addressing child malnutrition, enhancing heath awareness among women and adolescents, and delivering both preventive and curative healthcare services.

In FY 24-25, Aarogya reached nearly 6.66 lakh beneficiaries, achieving 87% recovery among malnourished children and an 80% reduction in anaemia among women. These outcomes underscore Tata Motors’ commitment to harnessing the power of early health and nutrition interventions and its long-lasting impact across communities.

Operating in regions with critical healthcare needs, including rural communities and urban slums across Jamshedpur, Pune, Pantnagar, Dharwad, Lucknow, Sanand, and Mumbai – the Aarogya programme has delivered measurable improvements by making nutrition, health awareness, and preventive and curative services accessible to those who need them most.

In Jamshedpur, Aarogya has positively impacted nearly 3 lakh community members across East Singhbhum district and its remote areas. Recognising the unique challenges faced by the urban underserved communities, Tata Motors extended its efforts through Project Aarogyasampanna in the slums of Trombay, suburban Mumbai, significantly reducing the instances of severe malnutrition among children by an impressive 90%. Building on this momentum in FY’25, Tata Motors launched Project Addressing Malnutrition in Sanand, enabling 506 severely malnourished children to receive targeted care and achieving 88% recovery rate.

Speaking on the impact of Aarogya, Vinod Kulkarni, CSR Head, Tata Motors, said, “At Tata Motors, we view nutrition as a cornerstone of resilience and a critical enabler across the human life cycle. Through our Aarogya programme, we are addressing child malnutrition and maternal health with a holistic, community-driven model that strengthens long-term well-being. Anchored in our strategic CSR framework and enabled through convergence with government initiatives, partners, and local communities, Aarogya reflects our commitment to creating scalable and sustainable health outcomes. The positive impact we witness inspires us to continue advancing national priorities such as Poshan Abhiyaan while fostering a healthier and more equitable India.”

With a footprint across 26 states and 8 union territories, Tata Motors is advancing community healthcare by combating child malnutrition, promoting health awareness, and extending preventive and curative care, in alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals. The Aarogya Programme exemplifies how targeted, data-driven interventions can create lasting change in India’s nutrition landscape—proving that when purpose meets scale, transformation follows.

September 02,2025: New Delhi: Realty firm Tathastu Realty said it will develop a 6-acre high-street commercial project in Rewari, Haryana, with an estimated investment of ₹200 crore.

PROJECT

The project, to be called Swarnim, will come up in Sector 22, Rewari, and is spread over six acres of land. Swarnim will comprise 1,200 shops, the company said. The launch price has been set at ₹14,000 per sq. ft.

Leading Listed Developers to Hit Booking Targets of INR 1.49 Lakh Cr in FY2026

Mumbai, 1 September 2025: With global trade tensions and spiralling housing prices raging, residential sales were markedly tepid in H12025 when compared to same period last year. However, listed developers remain on track on their pre-sales targets, finds data compiled by ANAROCK Research. Investor presentations and regulatory filings of the top 10 listed developers show that almost 30% or INR 44,317 Cr of total booking (pre-sales guidance) targets of INR 1,49,108 lakh Cr in FY 2026 is already squared away in the first quarter of FY 2026. They are on track to achieve their booking targets of over INR 1.49 lakh Cr in FY 2026.

“Players like DLF Ltd and Prestige Estates are cases in point – DLF has hit nearly 52% of its total pre-sales target of INR 20,000-22,000 CR for FY 2026 in Q1 FY2026,” says Anuj Puri, Chairman – ANAROCK Group. “Prestige Estates has already clocked pre-sales of nearly 45% of its INR 27,000 Cr target for FY 2026.”

The top 10 listed developers’ booking targets in FY 2025 stood at approx. INR 1,20,818 Cr. In short, they are targeting pre-sales growth of 23% over FY25 in the current fiscal.

In terms of actual annual sales bookings in FY 2025, Godrej Properties led the pack in last fiscal with pre-sales of nearly INR 29,444 Cr, followed by DLF Ltd. with sales bookings of approx. INR 21,233 Cr.

Top 10 Listed Developers FY25 Actual (INR Cr) FY26 Guidance (INR Cr) % Growth Expected % Guidance Achieved in Q1 FY26
Prestige 17,023 27000 59% 45%
Sobha 6,276 10,000 59% 21%
Godrej 29,444 32,500 10% 22%
Lodha (Macrotech) 17,630 21,000 19% 21%
Keystone Realtors 3,028 4,000 32% 27%
Signature Global 10,290 12,500 21% 21%
Brigade 7847 9,000 15% 12%
Kolte Patil 2,791 4,500 61% 14%
Oberoi Reality 5,266 6,608 25% 25%
DLF 21,223 22,000 4% 52%

The listed players’ pre-sales actuals achieved in FY 2025 have set the tone for FY 2026.

“Buoyed by this sales momentum, their continued land buying spree in H1 2025, when over 2,898 acres of land were transacted in 76 deals across India,” says Puri. “The total land volume transacted in H1 2025 is already 1.15 times of the deals volume in the whole of 2024, when 133 deals for about 2,515 acres were concluded across the country.”

Net Debt-Equity Ratio Boosts Financial Strength

After the NBFC crisis in 2018 and the ensuing pandemic disruptions, developers faced funding crunches and declining sales. Many, especially the large and listed ones, focused on deleveraging, improving pre-sales, monetizing assets, and raising equity capital. As a result, several top developers have brought down their net debt-to-equity ratios, with some even achieving net cash positions.

In a new phase of exceptional financial prudence, the average net debt-to-equity ratio of leading listed players has dropped to a historic low of 0.05 in FY25. This marks an over 90% reduction from the FY17 peak of about 0.55. The average net debt-to-equity ratio decline from ~0.55 in FY17 to 0.05 in FY25 was primarily aided by fund raising and improved operational cash flows.

The real estate sector’s shift from leverage-led to balance-sheet-led growth marks a pivotal shift in its investment appeal and operating model. With near-zero debt levels, improving buyer sentiment, and favourable monetary policy positions, FY26 sees the industry in a stable, trust-driven, performance-led cycle that has long-term potential.

“This deleveraging phase will positively impact real estate development in India over the long-term. With D/E ratios at multi-year lows and equity capital continuing to flow in, developers can expand strategically, consolidate market share, and build consumer trust,” adds Puri.

The improved financial metrics also make Indian real estate sector more attractive to institutional and foreign investors, which bodes well for capital formation in the medium term.

Strong Balance Sheets = Greater Flexibility

The sharp decline in leverage has provided multiple advantages to developers:

  • Lower interest burden: Lower financing costs have freed up capital for ongoing and new projects.
  • Improved credit profiles: Many developers have received rating upgrades, facilitating access to institutional funding at more competitive rates.
  • Higher consumer confidence: Buyers are increasingly favouring financially sound developers, further supporting their pre-sales momentum.

With some large developers now with net cash balances, the collective goal now is keeping the net debt-to-equity ratio under 0.4 and more players are targeting a net cash position over the next three fiscal years.

Affordable Housing Gap Widens: Only 0.36 Homes Built per Unit Sold

Mumbai, 1st September ,2025: In its latest report- Affordable Housing: Tackling Urban Housing Deficit Through Supply-Side Reforms, Knight Frank India, a leading real estate consultancy in the country, in association of National Real Estate Development Council (NAREDCO), highlighted the critical supply challenges in India’s affordable housing sector. According to the report, the supply-to-demand ratio for affordable housing across the top 8 cities has plummeted to 0.36 in 2025 (until June), down from 1.05 in 2019, signalling a significant undersupply in the segment. This shift marks a turning point from the years when developers launched more affordable housing units than were sold, driven by schemes such as the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY). In contrast, 2025 data show launches have collapsed to barely a third of sales, underscoring a deepening imbalance that threatens to impact housing affordability and limit buyer choice.

Demand Policies Help, but Supply Remains a Bottleneck

Over the past decade, policy interventions such as PMAY, Affordable Rental Housing Complexes (ARHCs), and tax benefits have provided critical support to homebuyers. These measures improved affordability and expanded access to credit for economically weaker sections and low-income groups. However, the report finds that supply continues to lag demand as developers face mounting challenges including high land costs, limited access to construction finance, regulatory delays, and inadequate infrastructure in peripheral urban zones.

Shishir Baijal, Chairman and Managing Director, Knight Frank India, said, “Affordable housing is not only a social priority but also an economic necessity. As India urbanizes rapidly, the imbalance between supply and demand in this segment poses significant risks to inclusive growth. While policy support on the demand side has been commendable, there is a pressing need to address supply-side barriers. Encouraging private sector participation through innovative financing, faster approvals, and land availability will be critical to bridging the gap and ensuring that every Indian has access to dignified housing.”

Affordable Urban Housing Deficit to Reach 30 mn Units by 2030

India’s existing affordable urban housing shortage is estimated at 9.4 mn units, with demand expected to rise sharply as urbanization accelerates. By 2030, cumulative affordable housing demand (including EWS, LIG, and MIG households) is projected to reach 30 mn units.

The ratio highlights a dramatic collapse in new launches, falling to nearly a third of sales in 2025.

This shortfall, combined with incremental affordable housing demand of 20.7 mn units by 2030, will push total affordable housing needs to 30 mn units, of which 79% will be concentrated in EWS and LIG households.

Launches Lag Sales in Affordable Housing

The report points to a sharp imbalance between sales and launches. India’s affordable housing sector faces persistent challenges in expanding supply to keep pace with the country’s fast-growing urban population. Although policy initiatives like the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY), Affordable Rental Housing Complexes (ARHCs) have laid the groundwork, the actual construction and delivery of affordable homes remain far from adequate.

In 2025 (Until June), the share of affordable housing, i.e value of housing units priced under INR 5 mn stood at 17%, a sharp decline from 52.4% in 2018. Thus, indicating decline in affordable housing supply in Indian cities. The receding number of launches in the affordable housing units is primarily attributed to the bottlenecks hindering private participation.

Private Investment in Affordable Housing Remains Minimal

Another key finding of the report is the limited private capital flowing into the sector. Between 2011 and 2024, private equity inflows into affordable housing totalled USD 1.9 bn, accounting for just 7.8% of the residential sector. Foreign funds accounted for merely 10.2% of the capital inflow into affordable housing segment between 2019-24.

Gulam Zia, Senior Executive Director– Advisory, Valuation, and Research, Knight Frank India, said, “The sharp decline in the new supply-to-demand ratio from 1.05 in 2019 to 0.36 in 2025 demonstrates the urgent need for structural reforms. High land costs, inadequate institutional investments, and infrastructure deficits in peripheral locations continue to restrict developer participation. Without targeted incentives and financing mechanisms, affordable housing will remain underserved. Addressing these gaps can unlock private investment and create a sustainable ecosystem for the segment.”

Mr G Hari Babu, President, NAREDCO, said, “At the 17th NAREDCO National Convention, the Knight Frank & Naredco report has once again underlined the scale of India’s affordable housing challenge— a deficit of 9.4 million units that could rise to 30 million by 2030. The fact that new supply in this segment has dropped sharply while demand continues to grow is a matter of concern. Limited private investment further widens the gap. This Convention is the right platform to call for bold supply-side reforms— unlocking PSU land for housing, rationalising FSI norms, and enabling subsidised construction finance. These measures can restore affordability, attract private participation, and ensure that affordable housing becomes the real engine of inclusive urban growth in India.”

The report emphasises that unlocking affordable housing supply will require bold reforms and collaborative efforts among government, developers, financial institutions, and civil society. It recommends repurposing vacant PSU lands for affordable housing through public-private partnerships, increasing the free floor space index (FSI) to boost supply and reduce costs, and providing subsidized construction finance to developers, drawing on successful global models from project viability and attract greater institutional capital is also seen as critical. Together, these measures can create an enabling ecosystem where private participation becomes financially feasible, ensuring that affordable housing supply not only meets the growing demand but also supports India’s long-term vision of inclusive and sustainable urban development.

India’s affordable housing challenge is not insurmountable. With policy alignment, innovative financing, and greater private participation, the sector has the potential to not only meet housing demand but also create more equitable, resilient, and inclusive cities.

By demonstrating the unprecedented security, sterile handling, and precision in every step of the journey, from egg collection and transfer to embryo retrieval. This technological precision, along with its extensive medical expertise and comprehensive patient care approach, translates into results that speak for themselves; the clinic chain has distinguished itself by consistently delivering the highest live birth rates across the country.

Speaking on the launch of the patient experience, Gursimran Kaur, Regional Head, ART Fertility Clinics India, said, “Since its inception, ART Fertility Clinics India has set itself apart with a patient-first approach that reflects our broader mission to democratise access to world-class fertility care. The launch of our new website is another step toward fulfilling that vision. Parenthood can be a daunting, complex decision for couples, and we aim to make it more accessible and affordable. We are not just offering medical and care services, but a complete ecosystem of support, education, and cutting-edge tech for fertility treatment. Our goal is to eliminate the knowledge gap and build trust by handholding prospective parents at every step of their journey, encouraging more of them to choose for the fertility care they need and deserve.”

The development represents a significant leap forward in making expert fertility care more accessible, affordable, and relevant to couples across India by making parenthood feel less daunting. As part of the unique experience, ART Fertility Clinics India will provide live online fertility yoga sessions every Saturday. Available to all participants free of charge, these sessions will focus on gentle asanas, breathing techniques, and meditation practices that are shown to enhance reproductive health and address emotional and physical wellbeing. Complementing this will be free expert webinars with IVF specialists every Friday, allowing new patients to connect with leading experts about their doubts and queries about fertility care without the traditional barriers of cost or complexity.
