Mumbai-based K Raheja Corp has entered into an agreement to purchase 5.75 acres of land in Mumbai’s Kandivali area for ₹466 crore, according to property registration documents accessed by CRE Matrix.
According to market sources, K Raheja Corp plans to develop a residential project on the land parcel.
Global E-Service Private Limited (formerly The New Vinod Silk Mills) has sold the land to the developer. The parcel is located on Ashok Chakravarty Road in Kandivali East, and the transaction was signed on December 22, 2024.
K Raheja Corp has paid the seller a deposit of ₹210 crore, and the two parties have agreed to a five-year ‘stop date’. This means that K Raheja Corp will have to get the required approvals in the form of the Intimation of Development (IOD) from the Mumbai Civic Body, also known as the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), within five years (up to December 2029) to complete the transaction and pay the balance amount to the seller.
According to the documents, the consideration value will also depend on the total time to complete the transaction. For example, if the transaction is completed between November 2025 and January 2026, the total consideration value will be ₹422 crore. However, if the transaction is completed by the end of the maximum deadline, December 2029, the consideration value will go up to ₹466 crore.
The documents showed that the company had paid a stamp duty of ₹31.74 crore, considering that the consideration value is ₹466 crore plus the interest from the fixed deposit of the ₹210 crore security deposit paid by the developer (K Raheja Corp) to the seller.
Meanwhile, an email query has been sent to K Raheja Corp and Global e-service Pvt Ltd. If a response is received, the copy will be updated.
Documents accessed by CRE Matrix showed that in August 2024, K Raheja Corp bought two prime properties—Bayside Mall and the Popular Press Building—in Mumbai’s posh Tardeo area through its Ivory Property Trust from AAA Holding Trust for ₹355 crore.
