Realty firm Gaurs expects to earn a rental income of around Rs 75 crore annually from its 8.5 lakh sq ft shopping mall at Noida Extension in Uttar Pradesh, a top company official said Friday.

Gaurs Group has completed the construction of 'Gaur City Mall', the first retail project in Noida Extension, with an investment of Rs 750 crore, its MD Manoj Gaur said.

"We are expecting to earn a rental of around Rs 75 crore annually from this shopping mall. The revenue could reach Rs 125 crore annually in the next three years with increase in footfalls," he told PTI on the sidelines of an event.

The nine-screen superplex from PVR and three anchor stores -- Shoppers Stop, Lifestyle and Big Bazaar -- are expected to open from May, while the rest of the outlets from June.
