Godrej Properties Limited paid Rs. 377 crores to the local authority for two land parcels for a residential project in Noida. Godrej emerged as the highest bidder for both plots after the authority received five bids.
“The Noida authority will earn Rs 377 crore from the auction, which will attract Rs 2,000 crore in investment,” the Noida authority said in a statement.
The acquired plot is 25,000 square metres in size, and the other shortlisted bidders, DLF and Golf Green Mansions, did not participate in the auction.
Each plot was priced at a minimum of Rs. 188 crores as the developer must pay the full amount within three months. Godrej Properties has recently agreed to purchase a 50-acre land parcel in Manor, Palghar, outright.
In addition, the company purchased a 7-acre land parcel near Indiranagar in Bengaluru. This project has a developable potential of approximately 0.6 million square feet of saleable area. It could have a booking value of around Rs 750 crore.
Godrej Properties had also purchased a 0.5-acre plot of land from the Karam Chand Thapar (KCT) group in order to build a luxury project near Carmichael Road in Mumbai. This project has a potential booking value of approximately Rs 1,200 crore.
