ELAN Group Promotes Avdesh Kumar Garg to General Manager, Contracts

What happened

ELAN Group has elevated Avdesh Kumar Garg from Deputy General Manager to General Manager, Contracts. The change was reported on 30 October 2026. The report describes it as an internal leadership move rather than an external hire.

Garg will oversee contract management and procurement-related functions. The role supports the company's ongoing development projects and operational requirements, according to the report.

The developer is headquartered in Gurugram and works across Gurugram and New Delhi. As of 1 November 2026, the reported promotion is the only public detail on the appointment. The report does not add a dated effective date or further responsibilities.

Garg's background

According to the report, Garg has more than 22 years of experience in MEP (mechanical, electrical and plumbing) contracts and procurement. His earlier roles, as listed in the report, include:

• Assistant General Manager and Senior Manager at Cherry Hill Interiors
• Senior Manager at I M Cost Management Pvt. Ltd.
• Project Engineer at Sterling and Wilson Ltd.
• A technical role at Fortis Healthcare

Projects the role covers

The company's current pipeline in Gurugram's Sector 49 and Sector 106 includes the following projects. The role's remit covers ongoing development work across the portfolio.

• Elan The Statement, Sector 49.
• Elan The Presidential, Sector 106, Dwarka Expressway.
• Elan The Emperor, Sector 106.
• JW Marriott Hotel Gurugram and JW Marriott Residences Gurugram, Sector 106, under a licensing and management agreement with Marriott International.

Elan The Statement has a planned investment of ₹1,600 crore on nearly 6 acres. The project is described by the developer as five towers with residences from 4,285 to 7,270 sq. ft. The architectural design is by London-based Benoy, and the landscape design is by SWA Group of California.

The official project site for Elan The Presidential describes 866 residences of 3, 4 and 5 BHK across 8 high-rise towers, with pricing from ₹5 crore and possession listed as October 2027. Other listings give different land areas, unit counts, prices and possession dates. Buyers should check the registration details directly with the Haryana RERA portal.

The official site for Elan The Emperor describes a 50-acre project with 4 and 5 BHK residences starting at ₹10.45 crore and possession in September 2032.

Recent contract activity

In January 2026, ELAN Group awarded Tata Projects a construction contract worth ₹840 crore for Elan The Statement. On 1 May 2026, the developer announced the start of construction on the project.

Tata Projects said it would apply its experience in large infrastructure projects, with a focus on engineering processes, project management systems and construction timelines. Elan Group Chairman Rakesh Kapoor said the start of construction reflects the company's focus on project execution and delivery timelines.

Sector 106 location context

Sector 106 sits on the Dwarka Expressway, which the developer describes as an 18-km, eight-lane expressway, also known as the Northern Peripheral Road. Sources put the sector roughly 10 km from IGI Airport and about 20 km from MG Road.

The nearest metro station is Dwarka Sector 21, which the developer puts about 20 minutes away. Authorities have directed the DMRC and HMRTC to study a metro extension from the existing Airport Line to Kherki Daula. Phase 1 of Gurugram's new metro includes a 1.8 km spur to the Dwarka Expressway close to Sector 106. No completion dates have been set for these links.

What it means for buyers and investors

The report does not describe any direct effect of this promotion on buyers, investors or the local market. The change is an internal management move.

Contract and procurement control affects how quickly and predictably a project is built, so it is relevant to delivery. For buyers, the practical checks remain the same: confirm each project's RERA registration, possession date and price schedule on official records before committing.

The developer's statement that its Sector 106 announcements drew an overwhelming market response is the company's own claim.

What comes next

Sales and marketing of the JW Marriott residences in Sector 106 will begin after ELAN Group secures the required RERA registrations. The report sets no dated milestones for Garg's new role.
