A parcel of land close to the Bandra-Kurla commercial hub in Mumbai has been put up for sale again by the Railway Land Development Authority (RLDA). The reserve price of the 45,371-square-metre plot was last pegged at Rs 3,960 crore.
This is the fourth attempt by RLDA, the nodal agency for development of railway land in the country, to sell the land.
It has invited expressions of interest (EoIs) from companies to develop the prime land. The last date for receiving EoIs is February 28, after which a new reserve price will be announced.

RCF smells a goldmine, plans to sell Mumbai land
Amid spiralling realty prices, its difficult to resist a deal when you are sitting on large tracts of unused land. But it can be a tough call when the landowner is a state-owned firm sensitive to controversies that a land deal could spark. So, what do you do? Take the first baby steps to cash in on a booming property market. The government-controlled Rashtriya Chemicals and Fertilisers (RCF) is doing just that. The fertiliser major, which owns about 800 acres in and around Mumbai, is initially planning to develop a commercial complex over about 200,000 sq ft that will be
Jet to sell land in Mumbai to raise Rs 1,000 cr
Jet Airways expects to raise over Rs 1,000 crore by selling 2.5 acres of premium land it owns in the Bandra Kurla area in Mumbai. The move will partly help the company to raise about $400 million (roughly Rs 2,000 crore) to cut its debt burden of Rs 15,885 crore. We have pieces of land in Bandra Kurla and the ground-breaking ceremony for one of them has been done recently. We can raise over Rs 1,000 crore from this property alone, said an official. The land could be handed over to a developer for a combination of cash and office space. The
Expensive land buys put developers in a bind
In November last year, Vijay Associates (Wadhwa) Developers acquired a plot of land in Mumbais new central business district, the Bandra Kurla Complex, for Rs821 crore, paying around Rs5.04 lakh a sq. m in what was then touted as the most expensive land deal in Mumbai by analysts and media. The company is yet to start developing this land. A slowing economy, tight credit and lower demand for houses and offices have made things difficult for real estate developers, many of whom bought land at high prices and are finding it difficult either to develop it or sell it off. While
MMRDA’s mantra: If you cant sell, lease it out
The property market crash has foiled the plot for the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), which relies on selling the land in its possession at market rates to fund infrastructure projects. Worried that the trend will continue, the authority is toying with a new revenue stream — of leasing the land, at a fraction of the sale price. The authority will get the land back after the lease expires, by when, hopefully, the market would have recovered. On the top of its list is the 370-hectare planned office space at Bandra Kurla Complex, for which the authority is planning
The great SEZ rush skids on slowdown, land issues
When the Board of Approval for special economic zones (SEZs) meets on Friday, liaison and corporate affairs executives will jostle for space in the narrow corridors on the ground floor of Udyog Bhavan, which houses the commerce department. In stark contrast to last year, however, few of them will be pushing proposals for new zones. Demand dynamics brought on by the global slowdown and persistent land acquisition problems are forcing developers to alter their plans. As a result, almost half the proposals that the inter-ministerial panel headed by Commerce Secretary Rahul Khullar will consider have to do with extensions to acquire land
