The Unitech Group has purchased the majority of the village land for a 300-acre residential township consisting of apartments, plots, and private villas. Several notable landmarks, such as the Signature Towers, Crown Plaza, Westin Hotel, Shikshantar School, The World Spa, Uniworld City, and The Palms, are all part of this bustling township.
