You need a comma.

Having completed various projects across Maharashtra - Panchgani, Mahabaleshwar, Wai, Alibag, Lonavala, and Pune cannot stand alone and is dependent on the main clause: Mane Developers believes only in building values that last until eternity.

I don't know how to tell you this, but your grasp of English does not permit you to get creative. Try to get correct first. I'm not trying to be harsh, I just want you to operate within your ability.

Mane Developers, since 1987, is one of the most reputed developers that has pioneered in crafting and architecturing perfect second homes. Having completed various projects across Maharashtra - Panchgani, Mahabaleshwar, Wai, Alibag, Lonavala, and Pune. Mane Developers only believes in building values that last until eternity.

The parenthetical date says that their renown (not "repute", which is the wrong word) began in 1987. The reader wonders how long they were in business before they began to get it right.

How many times do we have to tell you that "architecturing" is not a word?

I'm guessing that the hyphen floating there is supposed to represent an em dash. Em dashes are used in pairs when used to set off a list like yours. The problem is that the participle clause has no bearing on the main clause.

The company believes something, but not in building values but in building buildings. I am sure that that is not the only thing the company believes, too. Eternity is not a point in time, unless you want to get all Zen up in here.

Mane Developers, founded in 1987, is one of the most renowned developers in India, pioneers in designing and crafting perfect second homes. As can be seen in their many completed projects across Maharashtra—in Panchgani, Mahabaleshwar, Wai, Alibag, Lonavala, and Pune—Mane Developers believes in quality that will last for eternity.
