Japan’s Sumitomo and a consortium led by Brookfield have emerged as the highest bidders for three prime land parcels auctioned by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) in the country’s most expensive commercial district, Bandra Kurla Complex. The land deals are expected to generate over ₹3,839 crore for MMRDA, a senior official from the authority told HT.com.
The MMRDA had kept a reserve price of over ₹2,973 crore by inviting bids last year.
The three land parcels measure over 21,578 sq meters and have a permissible built-up area potential of over 86,000 sq meters. These will be given on lease for a period of 80 years.
MMRDA commissioner Sanjay Mukherjee told HT.com that on 4th April 2025, the financial bids submitted for three commercial plots (C-13, C-19, and C-80) in Bandra-Kurla Complex were opened.
Among the bidders, Goisu Realty Pvt. Ltd (Sumitomo) emerged as the highest bidder for plots C-13 and C-19, quoting significantly above the reserve price with offers of ₹4,80,945 and ₹4,82,992 per sq meters of built-up area (BUA), reflecting premiums of 39.61% and 40.20% respectively.
