New Consolidated Construction Company Limited (NCCCL) has secured nearly ₹870 crore worth of new projects, adding major assignments in the residential, logistics, and redevelopment sectors in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR). The projects, awarded in May 2026, cover over 34 lakh square feet and come from leading developers like Lodha Group and Welspun One Logistics Parks. These wins strengthen NCCCL’s role as an important partner in large urban infrastructure and real estate projects.
One notable project involves constructing India’s first vertical warehouse. This facility will be built for Welspun One Logistics Parks in the JNPA Special Economic Zone in Navi Mumbai, a key logistics and port-connected hub. This design aims to tackle the growing land shortage in urban areas, representing the next step in India’s warehousing development. The facility will include two warehouse blocks with a total area of about 18.15 lakh square feet. NCCCL will manage everything from structural work to developing external infrastructure and apron areas.
In the redevelopment sector, NCCCL won one of the largest projects in its history, the ACME Hills SRA Project in Goregaon East. This assignment, given by Lodha Group on a turnkey basis, covers nearly 14.81 lakh square feet and combines rehabilitation housing with premium residential developments. The project will provide rehabilitation towers for eligible residents, residential towers for open-market sales, and a multi-level parking facility. NCCCL will oversee the entire execution process, including design coordination, construction activities, infrastructure development, and final handover. The company has also received another project from Lodha Group to build the Opulis Clubhouse at Lodha Premier Township in Dombivli. This clubhouse will span about 1.46 lakh square feet and is designed as a community space for residents. NCCCL will handle the core and shell construction for this multi-level facility.
These projects come shortly after NCCCL announced a three-year partnership with Nemetschek Group. The collaboration aims to speed up the adoption of digital construction technologies, including Building Information Modelling (BIM), AI-driven workflows, and integrated project management solutions. This initiative should improve project planning, design accuracy, transparency, and execution efficiency in various sectors, including residential real estate, commercial projects, healthcare facilities, hospitality, and data centers.
Commenting on the new orders, Mahesh Mudda, Vice Chairman and Managing Director of NCCCL, stated that these assignments show the trust that leading developers have in the company’s capabilities. He highlighted that the turnkey nature of the ACME Hills project aligns with NCCCL’s long-term goal of being a complete construction partner that can handle every stage of project delivery, from planning to final completion.
Dr. Amit Goenka, Founder, Chairman, and Managing Director of Nisus Finance, pointed out that the scope and nature of these projects showcase NCCCL’s growing reputation in the industry. He noted that obtaining a fully turnkey project from one of the largest developers in the country signifies the company's emergence as a comprehensive construction platform capable of managing the entire project lifecycle for clients.
With these new projects, NCCCL continues to grow its presence in some of the fastest-growing areas of the construction sector. These recent assignments not only boost its order backlog but also underscore its focus on technology-driven execution and integrated project delivery in India's changing urban development landscape.

The West Bengal government has earmarked ₹200 crore in its 2026-27 state budget to develop Siliguri into a major logistics and trade hub, strengthening the city's role as a strategic gateway connecting Northeast India with neighbouring countries. The investment forms part of a broader infrastructure push aimed at improving regional supply chains and boosting cross-border commerce. Presenting the state budget, Finance Minister Swapan Dasgupta said Siliguri's geographical position offers significant advantages due to its connectivity with Nepal, Bhutan and Bangladesh, alongside its role as the primary land corridor linking the Northeast with the rest of India. The government plans to leverage this location by expanding logistics infrastructure and multimodal transport facilities. The proposed development includes integrated logistics parks, modern warehousing, cold chain infrastructure, and improvements to road, rail and air connectivity. The government expects these investments to reduce logistics costs, improve supply chain efficiency and support both domestic and international trade. In addition to the logistics initiative, the budget allocates ₹26 crore for the expansion of Siliguri's IT infrastructure through the development of an IT park with approximately 50,000 square feet of built-up space. The project is intended to support the city's growing technology ecosystem alongside its logistics ambitions. The state has also increased overall funding for North Bengal's development to ₹1,821.52 crore, nearly doubling the allocation made in the interim budget earlier this year. Other regional initiatives announced include airport development in Balurghat and Malda, expansion of Cooch Behar Airport, feasibility studies for metro rail connectivity, investments in sports infrastructure, spring rejuvenation projects in the Darjeeling hills, horticulture and spice cultivation, and support for the Rajbanshi language and cultural initiatives. Industry representatives welcomed the logistics-focused allocation, noting that improved multimodal infrastructure and warehousing capacity could strengthen Siliguri's position as a key distribution centre for eastern and northeastern India while facilitating greater regional trade.

Delhivery has introduced a new geospatial technology platform, Delhivery Maps, marking its entry into the commercial mapping and navigation solutions space. The logistics company announced that the AI-driven suite of mapping APIs, previously developed and deployed exclusively for its own operations, will now be available to enterprises, developers, and gig-economy businesses. The launch reflects Delhivery’s broader effort to commercialise technology built in-house over years of operating one of India's largest logistics networks. The company originally created the mapping infrastructure to reduce dependence on external map providers while improving efficiency across its express parcel, freight, and supply chain businesses. According to the company, Delhivery Maps offers a comprehensive range of geospatial services, including address auto-completion, geocoding, reverse geocoding, navigation, route optimisation, distance matrix calculations, map tiles, and vehicle-aware routing. Unlike conventional mapping platforms, the solution has been designed specifically for logistics and commercial transportation requirements. The platform incorporates operational considerations such as heavy-vehicle movement patterns, road restrictions, commercial routing rules, and landmark-based navigation to improve route planning and delivery execution. Delhivery said the system has been trained and refined using operational data accumulated over years of deliveries across the country. The accuracy of the platform is backed by historical information generated from more than 200 crore shipments and over one billion daily GPS signals collected from a fleet exceeding one lakh vehicles. This extensive dataset enables the platform to better understand India's complex addressing ecosystem and transportation network. At the core of the offering is Naksha LLM, Delhivery’s proprietary geospatial reasoning model. Built to process unstructured and incomplete address information, the model uses advanced reasoning capabilities to interpret location data more effectively. Naksha LLM is also available through the Delhivery Maps MCP ecosystem. The company believes the platform can address a variety of use cases across sectors such as ecommerce, quick commerce, ride-hailing, and on-demand services. Businesses can leverage the APIs for tasks including address validation, dispatch optimisation, route planning, and more accurate delivery time predictions. Commenting on the launch, Delhivery Chief Technology Officer Kapil Bharati said the solution was born out of operational necessity, helping the company manage commercial routing complexities and unstructured addresses at scale while running India's largest logistics network. The launch comes as Delhivery continues to diversify its business portfolio. In recent months, the company established Delhivery Financial Services, a wholly-owned subsidiary focused on financial products for truck drivers, fleet operators, riders, and MSMEs. The offerings are expected to include credit-linked services, fuel cards, and insurance solutions. The company has also been strengthening newer business verticals such as Delhivery Direct and Rapid. While Delhivery Direct caters to hyperlocal, on-demand deliveries through two-wheelers as well as larger vehicles, Rapid supports quick-commerce fulfilment by managing dark-store operations for brands, retailers, and direct-to-consumer businesses. Financially, Delhivery maintained stable profitability during the March quarter, posting a consolidated net profit of ₹72.4 crore. Revenue from operations climbed 30 per cent year-on-year to ₹2,850 crore. For FY26, the company reported a net profit of ₹321 crore, up 8 per cent from the previous year, while service revenue increased 17 per cent to ₹10,486 crore.
