In a regulatory filing, Indiabulls Real Estate said that "post completion of ongoing scheme of arrangement of Chennai assets on 19th March 2020, the company is eligible to launch the buyback".

The board-constituted buyback committee has advised the company management to initiate the process of obtaining shareholders' approval through postal ballot to implement the proposed buyback.

The proposed buyback is expected to be completed in the next quarter or in the following one depending on the lockdown situation, it added.
