Gurugram-based developer Elan Group has promoted Avdesh Kumar Garg from deputy general manager to general manager, contracts, a move reported on 30 October 2026. It is an internal elevation rather than an outside hire.
Garg will oversee contract management and procurement, supporting the company's ongoing development projects and operational needs. He has more than 22 years of experience in MEP (mechanical, electrical and plumbing) contracts and procurement. His earlier roles 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., and a technical role at Fortis Healthcare.
Why the contracts desk matters at Sector 49 and Sector 106
Elan says it has 15 projects across Gurugram and New Delhi, with a total built-up area of about 25 million square feet. Two of its projects in Gurugram are now the focus of its largest commitments.
Elan The Statement, in Sector 49, is planned with an investment of ₹1,600 crore on nearly 6 acres. Its five towers offer residences from 4,285 sq ft to 7,270 sq ft. In January 2026 the company awarded Tata Projects a ₹840 crore construction contract for the project. On 1 May 2026 Elan announced that construction had started. Chairman Rakesh Kapoor said the start reflects the company's focus on project execution and delivery timelines. Tata Projects' Barun Pal Chowdhury said the firm would bring its experience of large infrastructure projects, with a focus on engineering processes, project management systems and construction timelines.
In Sector 106, on Dwarka Expressway, Elan has entered a licensing and management agreement with Marriott International for a JW Marriott Hotel Gurugram and JW Marriott Residences Gurugram within its roughly 50-acre township. The company has said sales of the residences will begin only after the required RERA registrations are secured.
What it means for the Dwarka Expressway micro-market
Sector 106 sits on the Dwarka Expressway, which the developer's marketing describes as an 18-km, eight-lane road also known as the Northern Peripheral Road. The nearest Metro station is Dwarka Sector 21, about 20 minutes away by road. Authorities have directed DMRC and HMRTC to explore extending the Airport Line to Kherki Daula, but no completion dates have been set for that link.
A listing data point from June 2026 put the average price at Elan The Presidential at about ₹18.1 thousand per sq ft, against about ₹16.4 thousand per sq ft for Sector 106 as a whole. Those are asking-price indicators, not transaction records.
For buyers, a change in a developer's contracts team does not by itself change prices, possession timelines or approvals. The more useful signals are the construction milestones at each project and the RERA registrations the company files before it sells.
- RERA registration for the JW Marriott residences in Sector 106, which must come before sales begin.
- Construction progress at Elan The Statement in Sector 49 after the 1 May 2026 start.
- Any decision by DMRC and HMRTC on extending the Airport Line to Kherki Daula.
