ATS Infrastructure Limited, a developer that built its name in the National Capital Region, has extended its footprint into Gujarat with ATS Pragya, a commercial tower positioned inside the Gujarat International Finance Tec-City (GIFT City) Special Economic Zone in Gandhinagar. It is the group's flagship presence outside North India and its first venture into an IFSC-governed business district, marking a distinct departure from the residential townships that have defined its home markets.
ATS Infrastructure Ltd. was established in 1998 by Getamber Anand as a residential real estate developer focused on Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR). In 2011, HDFC Fund invested ₹200 crore in one of the company's projects in New Delhi, and in 2013, ATS announced an investment of ₹2,000 crore in a project in Mohali, an early signal of the group's willingness to back large-format, multi-city bets. ATS today is a conglomerate with operations across Gurgaon, Noida, Greater Noida, Yamuna Expressway, Indirapuram, Derabassi, Mohali and Dehradun, a spread built primarily around residential apartment communities and integrated townships. Public profiles of the company describe a track record of over 35 delivered projects and more than 4.6 million square metres of completed space, giving ATS Pragya the backing of a developer with decades of construction and delivery experience even as it works in an unfamiliar commercial and SEZ format.
ATS Pragya is not a solo ATS development. Jointly developed by ATS Group and Savvy Group (Gujarat), this unique business destination will redefine the nature of global trade and business in India. The tower being the pioneering architectural marvel it is, has been crafted by Hafeez Contractor and will house India's finest commercial and retail space. The building is planned as a Ground + 23 floors with proposed extra large super structure area, with double basement car parking space in addition to multi-level parking space provided by GIFT City's own infrastructure. The tower, marketed jointly as Savvy Pragya, is designed at scale: spanning approximately 5.75 lakh sq. ft. across 20 floors, it provides flexible office layouts, including fully furnished co-working modules through its Pragya Accelerator 2, catering to startups, SMEs, and multinational corporations alike. Building systems include high-speed elevators, 24/7 security, advanced HVAC systems, and energy-efficient infrastructure, including India's first district cooling system.
The project meets RERA requirements (RERA No: PR/GJ/GANDHINAGAR/GANDHINAGAR/Others/CAA01006/131217), providing investor transparency and security. Being sited within the SEZ carries its own fiscal weight: the regulatory and tax advantages of Gift City commercial premises are unique in India, including stamp duty exemptions, IFSC income tax reductions, liberal foreign currency trades and reduced regulation. At the unit level, tenants benefit from substantial tax incentives, including 100% corporate tax exemption for 10 consecutive years out of 15, GST and customs duty exemptions, and additional state subsidies.
GIFT City is not an ordinary business park. The ₹70,000 crore initiative spans over 886 acres and aims to rival global hubs like Singapore and Dubai; launched in 2008, it has evolved into a self-sustained ecosystem attracting over 500 multinational corporations, including Google, HSBC, and Deutsche Bank. For a tower carrying the ATS name, that context matters because it defines the tenant and buyer pool the project competes for: banks, fintechs, IFSC-licensed funds, and regional headquarters rather than local retail footfall.
Connectivity around the site is a recurring reference point in project literature: it is easily related to the Ahmedabad-Gandhinagar Highway, is only 12-19 km from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport, and sits close to a new metro stop that will make it easy for workers to get to work. Social infrastructure nearby includes Grand Mercure, Gift City Club, top faculties and the 300-bed Lilavati Hospital, with GIFT City also close to institutions such as NID, NIFT, IIT, PDEU, Deakin University and the University of Wollongong, as well as hospitals like Apollo.
GIFT City's commercial and residential values have both moved sharply in recent years. On the residential side, property prices have risen from ₹6,000 per sq ft in 2022 to ₹10,300 per sq ft in 2025, while commercial stock is quoted across a wider band: these properties are priced between ₹8,000 and ₹27,000 per sq ft, depending on location and facilities. Independent tracking of the locality shows flat rates in Gift City, Gandhinagar changed by 6.6% in the last 1 year, 46.5% in the last 3 years, and 101.0% in the last 5 years. For a buyer evaluating ATS Pragya, this appreciation curve is part of the district's case, not a claim made about the ATS project specifically, but the backdrop against which any office or retail unit in the tower is priced and re-rated over time.
Anyone considering ATS Pragya is effectively buying into two things simultaneously: an established North Indian residential developer's first major commercial and SEZ undertaking, delivered in partnership with a Gujarat-based group and designed by a nationally recognised architect, and a location inside India's only operational IFSC, with the connectivity, institutional neighbours and tax architecture that come with that address. The combination is unusual for ATS's own portfolio, and it is precisely why the project is worth evaluating on GIFT City's terms as much as on the ATS name.
