Realty firm ATS group, which has decided to take up stalled projects, will require around Rs 400 crore to complete three delayed housing projects of Logix group in Noida (Uttar Pradesh), its CMD Getamber Anand said.
The company would infuse an initial amount of around Rs 50 crore to start the construction work from end of this month, he said.
With the Delhi-NCR property market plagued with many stalled housing projects, ATS Group has decided to enter the project management consultancy (PMC) business and take up such stuck projects.
To begin with, the company has bagged three housing projects from Logix group and would help complete over 4,500 units in Logix Blossom Greens, Logix Blossom County and Logix Blossom Zest projects.
"We will need around Rs 400 crore to complete these three projects," Anand said.

"There are customer receivables and unsold flats in these projects. So, once the construction work starts, the cash-flow will start," Anand said, adding that the company would also try to rope in a financial institution to fund any shortfall.

Delhi-NCR has 2,10,200 units worth Rs 1,31,460 crore running behind schedule.
"ATS PMC will endeavour to take up incomplete projects, where with proper management and construction, due diligence execution will be made ensuring delivery as per stipulated timelines," the company said.
