What A Land Deal: ₹3,472 Cr for 4 Acres!

The RBI has made one of the biggest real estate deals of the year by purchasing 4.61 acres of prime land at Nariman Point, South Mumbai, for ₹3,472 crore. The land was bought from the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Limited.

This location is considered one of the most prestigious spots in Mumbai, close to the state secretariat, Bombay High Court, and major corporate offices. Experts say the long-term institutional value of the property makes this deal very significant.

The plot had earlier been planned for sale through a global tender, but RBI expressed interest in 2023 for its headquarters expansion. Following this, the tender was cancelled, and the land was officially transferred to RBI. The central bank also paid over ₹200 crore in stamp duty for the deal.

RBI already has its main headquarters at Mint Road in Mumbai. With this new acquisition, the bank plans to develop facilities to strengthen its presence further in the country’s financial capital.

For MMRCL, this deal brings in major revenue while also helping them optimize the use of premium land parcels across Mumbai. Despite new business districts like Bandra-Kurla Complex and Lower Parel coming up, Nariman Point continues to hold its reputation as one of the most expensive and prime commercial hubs in India.
