In a display of corporate responsibility, Godrej Projects Development (GPDL), a wholly-owned subsidiary, proactively addressed a quality issue in one of its projects, the Godrej Summit in Gurugram. By engaging external experts for a detailed assessment, they discovered the presence of chloride in the concrete, leading to steel reinforcement corrosion upon contact with water. With the necessary repair and maintenance framework in place, GPDL is confident that the building will perform as intended. As part of their commitment to customer satisfaction, GPDL made an offer to buy back units or provide rentals to all unit holders in the project. The company will account for the buyback upon execution of the relevant documentation with GPDL by the intending customers.
