“Today, the HUL building is on lease with us and we have the right to buy it and we will buy it,” chairman Deepak Parekh told shareholders over the weekend.
No financial details were available.
HDFC will also shift its general insurance arm, HDFC Ergo General Insurance, and HDFC Mutual Fund to the building.
HUL was housed at the Lever House for 46 years before it moved to a new campus in Andheri (East) in north Mumbai in 2010.
