Piramal plans to invest US$2b in Indian property
It will help revive stalled commercial and residential projects; expects demand to rise as economy picks up

Its planned investment could help developers complete commercial and residential projects left unfinished when they ran out of money and banks cut back on credit to a sector badly mauled by a slowdown in Asia's third-biggest economy.
