When M3M India chose Sectors M9, M10 and M11 of Manesar for what it calls Gurgaon International City (GIC), the commitment was not incremental. As reported by Business Standard and Mint in November 2025, M3M India committed an investment of ₹7,200 crore in this township, with an estimated ₹12,000 crore in topline revenue targeted from the mixed-use project. That figure, and the 150-acre land assembly behind it, frames how the developer views this corridor — not as an extension of the Gurgaon it has already built across, but as a city-scale opportunity in its own right.
Founded in 2010 by Founder Chairman Basant Bansal and promoters Roop Bansal and Pankaj Bansal, M3M India built itself into a transformative force in the luxury residential and retail real estate sector. Across a portfolio of 66 projects, M3M has delivered all developments launched before 2020, completing 43 projects spanning 20 million square feet, with another 23 projects covering 40 million square feet currently under construction. Its anchor residential references in Gurgaon — the 56-acre M3M Golf Estate, Trump Towers, M3M Capital on Sector 113, and M3M Crown — established the brand in the luxury segment before it turned its attention to Manesar.
M3M India has established a notable presence across Gurugram, Noida, Manesar, Greater Noida and Chandigarh. Backed by a land bank of 3,000 acres and a customer base exceeding 20,000, M3M operates on the principles of Trust, Transparency, and Timely Delivery. GIC Manesar is the developer's single largest asset allocation in this expansion phase, and M3M Forestia East — a distinct residential enclave within the GIC masterplan — is the project currently tracking buyer interest across Sectors M9–M11.
M3M Gurgaon International City is one of the largest mixed-use destinations in Delhi-NCR, spread across 150 acres with a future expansion planned up to 200 acres, positioned near IMT Manesar along the Dwarka Expressway Link Road. The township is designed around the concept of Live–Work–Unwind, bringing together forest-themed residential zones, commercial, industrial, green mobility and lifestyle zones within one master-planned ecosystem.
The project spans Sectors M9, M10 and M11 of Manesar within the Gurugram district, forming a key part of the Gurugram–Manesar Urban Complex (GMUC) plan prepared by the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA). The landscape architecture of the project has been crafted by Coopers Hill Design, an international firm. Within this framework, M3M handles the 3 BHK and 3.5 BHK residential segments, with co-developer Smartworld handling 2 BHK and 2.5 BHK apartments.
The township features over 75% open green areas and includes dedicated zones for EV and clean-tech industries, positioning it as a future-ready hub for innovation and technology. An Innovation Park within the masterplan offers infrastructure for businesses, startups and industries. The RERA registration for the GIC project is on record: the RERA ID is GGM/991/723/2025/94.
M3M Forestia East represents the strategic Phase 2 expansion of GIC Manesar, and as the primary residential anchor of Pocket B, it is a critical component of a master plan that harmonizes the high-energy M3M Innovation Park with serene, forest-themed residential zones. Forestia East is a 6.46-acre high-rise project offering forest living within the 140-acre GIC township, with apartments sized from 1,850 to 2,350 sq ft across Sectors M9, M10 and M11.
The project is defined by a biophilic design where 80% of the project area is dedicated to open greens, including dense tree plantations, forest trails and nature-integrated amenities designed to improve air quality and provide natural cooling. The Eden Club at M3M Forestia East features a temperature-controlled swimming pool, a fully equipped gym, spa zones and indoor game rooms, and serves as a central social hub for all residents of the township.
Forestia East is priced from ₹2.49 crore onwards for apartments sized between 1,800 and 2,350 sq ft, with a possession year of 2030 and a 30:40:30 payment plan structure. The RERA number for M3M Forestia East is GGM/1035/767/2026/07.
The corridor surrounding GIC is not new to industrial scale — the project sits next to major manufacturing plants including Maruti Suzuki and Honda, attracting top professionals to the area. For years Manesar was primarily recognised as an industrial hub, but with the expansion of the Dwarka Expressway and the saturation of core Gurugram sectors, residential focus has shifted toward Sector M9, M10 and M11. This shift is visible in pricing data: quarterly micromarket rates climbed from ₹6,950 per sq ft in March 2025 to ₹11,060 per sq ft by December 2025, with premium developments such as M3M GIC in Manesar Sector 9 commanding premium pricing and reflecting strong market confidence.
Manesar Sector 9 leads within the micro-market with an average asking rate of ₹11,799 per sq ft, experiencing a notable 20.94% increase. M3M GIC in Manesar Sector 9 is priced at ₹12,186 per sq ft, setting the high-value benchmark within the locality. For buyers tracking price discovery across the Gurgaon belt, this positions GIC Manesar as a market-setter within its own sub-geography rather than a follower of established corridors.
The project enjoys connectivity to NH-48 (Delhi–Jaipur Highway), Dwarka Expressway and KMP Expressway. Residents are within a 5-minute drive to NH-48, connecting directly to Delhi and Jaipur, and the Dwarka Expressway is approximately 15 minutes away, making airport travel accessible. IGI Airport is approximately 40 km away, reachable in about 40 to 45 minutes via Dwarka Expressway connectivity. Plans to extend the Metro to Manesar are in progress; once operational, commuting will become significantly easier for residents and workers.
IMT Manesar, a major industrial and employment hub developed by HSIIDC, is less than 10 minutes from the GIC site. The township also benefits from proximity to Cyber City, Udyog Vihar and Delhi. On the social infrastructure side, the area is close to schools such as DPS and GD Goenka, and hospitals including Medanta, Artemis and Rockland are within accessible distance. The nearest railway station is Garhi Harsaru Junction, which provides rail connectivity to Sector 9 Manesar.
Living at M3M Forestia East Manesar places residents at proximity to the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC), where commercial demand directly fuels residential rental yields. Manesar's developing corridors have shown rental yields in the range of 7–9%, with emerging areas demonstrating higher capital growth potential. Industrial plots at GIC saw an immediate price movement — from ₹1,00,000 per sqm to ₹1,25,000 per sqm after launch and RERA registration — signalling that the market was absorbing the development quickly.
The GIC masterplan reflects sustainable urban development with emphasis on green mobility, low-carbon infrastructure and a concept of forest living, designed to be an environmentally sustainable, modern and lively community. The GIC ecosystem is built on a Live-Work-Play foundation where wide internal boulevards and futuristic skywalks connect luxury homes to high-street retail and commercial hubs, ensuring urban necessities are within a five-minute walk.
M3M's vertically integrated model — managing every aspect from land acquisition to after-sales — ensures streamlined processes, cost-efficiency and quality control, which becomes especially relevant in a project of GIC's scale and complexity. M3M India is on track to achieve sales of approximately ₹30,000 crore in FY 2024–25, with ₹11,000 crore already achieved in the first two quarters, underscoring the financial momentum behind projects like GIC Manesar.
