On 10 September 2026, Business Today reported that Vyana at The Reserve in Vadgaon, Pune, had more than 600 apartments booked, with sales of over Rs 600 crore in 60 hours. The Reserve spans 20 acres, with a total potential saleable area of about 5 million sq ft and an expected gross development value of Rs 4,000 crore.
