Realty firm Godrej Properties has bought an 18-acre land parcel in Bengaluru to develop a housing project, as part of its expansion plan.

In a regulatory filing, the company informed that "it has entered into an outright transaction to purchase a well-located land parcel in Whitefield, Bangalore."
