Automobile manufacturer Mahindra and Mahindra Limited has sold 20.5 acres land in Mumbai’s Kandivali area for ₹210 crore, according to property registration documents by CRE Matrix.
The land was sold to Blueprintify Properties Pvt Ltd, a part of Pune-based real estate firm Rucha Group, and the transaction was registered on July 24, 2024, according to the documents.
The stamp duty paid for the transaction was ₹13.41 crore, the documents showed.
The land sold by Mahindra and Mahindra Limited is non-agricultural and is located in the Kandivali area where the company has an automobile manufacturing facility.
The land is connected to the Western Express Highway (WEH) on one side and faces the Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP) on the other.
According to local brokers this is perhaps one of the biggest land deals in the western suburbs this year. The Kandivali east micro market, where the land parcel is located, commands a per sq ft rate of ₹25,000 to ₹35,000 for the residential segment.
An email query sent to Mahindra and Mahindra Ltd and Blueprintify Properties Pvt Ltd did not get any response.
