The Story Behind Ansals
Lala Chiranjiv Lal Ansal, founder of the Ansal Group  started as  building contractor in 1967, and moved up to build the House of Ansals with a mission to create a better quality of life through quality structures, achieving new landmarks in property development in India and overseas

Starting operations in Delhi with its first high rise building "Akash Deep" in New Delhi in 1969, Ansals quickly acquired contracts for landmark commercial buildings.

Till 1998, the three Ansal brothers i.e. Sushil, Gopal and Deepak jointly managed the family business. Now,

• Ansal Properties and Industries Ltd (APIL) is led by Sushil Ansal,
• Ansal Buildwell (ABL) by Gopal Ansal
• Ansal Housing and Construction Ltd. (AHCL) by Deepak Ansal.

The Ansals brand enjoys the patronage of domestic and overseas customers and has built up a reputation for its focus on quality and adherence to timelines. Its strength comes from its dedicated team of professionals and specialists. Ansal API has been awarded the "Most Trusted Real Estate Brand" by Reader’s Digest in 2006. 

Its responsible efforts towards the environment during the execution of all its projects have earned Ansals API the prestigious Certification of Environmental Management System, ISO 14001:2004 from the Kvalitet Veritas Quality Assurance (KVQA), accredited to NORSK of Norway. The company has its own advisory panel of highly qualified environmentalists who check out on the eco-viability of every project

The group has a talented in-house team of architects, engineers and planners in its consultancy division to execute its projects, though external services are also taken in specialized areas.

Future Outlook
Of its total land bank, API owns 56% of it in the form of plots. The company intends to shift its focus to value-added development, or constructed property. API’s thrust areas would be expansion into hospitality, and a focus on premium locations in Tier II cities of North India. Retirement homes for senior citizens are also on the agenda of the company.

At AHCL, a multi-pronged approach has been adopted to grow uniformly across all avenues in real estate. The focus will be on developing integrated townships across India, under the "Ansals Courtyard" or Ansal Town brand. and establishing an early presence in Tier II cities which are yet unexplored. In the pipeline are projects in Parwanoo, Bhopal, Narnaul, Shahpur, Ajmer, Zirakpur, Paonta Sahib, Panchkula and Yamuna Nagar Simultaneously, it plans to penetrate the Tier I cities further, as it has done so with recently launched residential apartments in Mulund and Worli, Mumbai. It chooses to make a cautious approach to SEZs and IT Parks, but will pioneer mall development in integrated townships.

AHCL has ambitious plans to expand in tandem with the booming retail market. The company is focusing on high-growth areas of Noida, Greater Noida and Ghaziabad, and Tier II cities in North India.
