In an exclusive interaction with REM TIMES, Rajesh Himmatlal, the Founder and Chairman of NLPL Group, delves deep into the philosophies responsible for the success of the organisation
In the dynamic realm of real estate, the NLPL Group stands as a beacon of trust and reliability, thanks to the visionary leadership of Rajesh Himmatlal. A company that started in 1889 as a yarn manufacturing business, the NLPL Group subsequently expanded into the textile mill, sugar, pharmaceutical, and film processing industries and is renowned for providing affordable housing in the bustling city of Mumbai today.
With an illustrious 45-year tenure in the industry, Rajesh has not only steered NLPL through the ever-evolving real estate landscape but also established the group as a trusted brand known for its commitment to quality and timely delivery. A businessman with a strong sense of conviction, Rajesh has succeeded both in India and abroad. Thanks to his meticulous work ethics, his passion for excellence, which extends to even the lowest ranks of the organization, and his capable leadership, the NLPL Group is at the top of its game in the market today.
“As a Chairman, I believe in a strong-willed, perfectionist approach. Excellence should permeate every level of the organization. It is this ardour for excellence that, even at the most junior level, earns NLPL its desired image in the market,” states the Founder and Chairman of NLPL Group in an exclusive interaction with REM TIMES.
Rajesh's vision for NLPL revolves around the fundamental principle of trust. “Trust is the core value of our business, and our brand reputation is built on this single most important factor. In India, where people are shrewd about material choices and possessions, we assure secure and safe homes to upper middle-class families and therefore, foster long-term business success,” he elaborates.
“In a sector where trust is often a challenge, we've successfully provided quality and affordable homes to the middle and upper-middle-class segments in Mumbai. Timely delivery, quality, and budget-friendly pricing are crucial factors. We want our customers to trust us,” affirms Rajesh.

He further emphasizes, “We have developed more than 50 buildings over the last 40 years. Each one of them is certified with the Occupation Certificate and the Building Completion Certificate, which positively validates the security of our structures. On top of that, our customers trust us because we deliver on our promises.”
Rajesh attributes NLPL's success to an integrated approach. “We are an integrated realtor, a one-stop construction behemoth. Our strong technical team of architects and engineers plans and executes the entire construction process in-house. We mechanize most of our construction activities, and our Research and Development Department ensures newer, more efficient, and cost-effective construction techniques.”
Speaking on procurement, logistics, and material management, Rajesh states, “NLPL uses its extensive land bank as a logistics and material management hub. We own equipment like tower cranes, excavators, JCBs, and concrete transit mixers to ensure efficient work. Our focus is on seamless project execution.”
The NLPL also ensures that all of its projects are sustainable. Speaking more on this, Rajesh says, “At NLPL, we are aware that any form of development will have a negative impact on the environment. Thus we take several steps to lessen the negative effects of construction on the environment. For instance, we opt for eco-friendly materials and ensure that there is little dust and noise pollution during the process of construction. We also try our best to minimise water and material waste, and follow all the environmental protection regulations.”
“In today's market, where timely delivery is essential, our extensive land bank gives us an edge over our competitors. Redevelopment is a potential area of business where sustainability intertwines with optimal housing methods. Mumbai is rich in redevelopment possibilities,” reveals Rajesh. “Timely delivery, quality, and security makes NLPL the most preferred real estate developer in a society that prefers modern sustainable urbanization.”
In conclusion, Rajesh Himmatlal's leadership has not only propelled NLPL Group to new heights in the real estate sector but also positioned it as a trusted brand synonymous with quality and reliability. As the industry continues to evolve, NLPL, under his guidance, is poised to embrace the future with a strategic focus on redevelopment and a commitment to excellence.
