Sri Lotus Developers shares rise 4% as it enters Gujarat with GIFT City project

Shares ofSri Lotus Developers and Realty Ltd gained over 4% on Wednesday, January 7, after the Mumbai-based developer said it has signed a large-scale development project in Gujarat.

The redevelopment project spread across a built-up area of over 1 million square feet in GIFT City, Gandhinagar, marks the developer's foray outside Mumbai. 

In a regulatory exchange, the company said it has signed a Development Agreement with Abhishek Bachchan for the project, which will be executed through its subsidiary,
