RBI Buys Nariman Point Plot From MMRCL for ₹3,472 Crore

The deal followed the scrapping of a planned auction at RBI’s request.

Overview

  • Property records show the sale deed was registered on September 5, with stamp duty reported at about ₹208 crore.
  • The parcel spans roughly 4.16 acres with around 1.6 million sq ft of buildable potential, including about 1.13 lakh sq ft reserved to rehouse pre-2017 occupants.
  • MMRCL plans to deploy the proceeds toward Metro Line 3 costs and repayment of loans, including financing from JICA.
  • A global tender with a reserve price near ₹5,173 crore drew interest from major private players before being canceled in January 2025 for a direct sale.
  • Maharashtra Congress has criticized the move as non-transparent and claims the state lost roughly ₹1,800 crore, a charge not yet answered by MMRCL or the government.
