By selling its stakes in the Aman Luxury hotel, Real estate major aims to cover up its debt. Furthermore it has plans to develop some projects in Delhi real estate. Within a period of next three to four months’ time Delhi real estate will be able to witness some new DLF projects.

DLF’s Sr. Executive Director Sriram Khattar informed that the firm will start up Delhi real estate projects within four months’ time. DLF recently sold its stake in Silverlink Resorts Ltd which holds Aman Resorts. Aman Resorts runs hotels such as Amanwana which rose to fame when late Princess Diana visited the hotel. The hotel is situated close to the Tambora Volcano which is in Sumbawa Province of Indonesia.

Chairman Kushal Pal Singh guided DLF plans to refocus on real estate again. The firm had expanded business endeavors into hotels, wind farms. They also had plans to expand to export processing zones.
