Birla Estates, a real estate venture of the Aditya Birla Group, has made a significant acquisition of a land parcel valued at Rs. 537.42 crore in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR). According to Square Yards, the plot, located in Kalwa along the Thane-Belapur Road, was purchased from Hindalco Industries Limited and spans approximately 24.5 acres (99,021.47 square meters).
Kalwa is rapidly emerging as a prominent residential area due to its strategic location, which provides easy access to Thane—an active real estate market—and Navi Mumbai, a burgeoning employment center. This growing connectivity and improving infrastructure make Kalwa an attractive option for professionals seeking convenient housing solutions.
Anand Moorthy, Co-founder and CBO of Capital Market & Services at Square Yards, commented on the acquisition, saying, “Leading developers are strategically acquiring significant land parcels across key markets. This move aligns with the increasing demand for office spaces and residential apartments in gated communities. The high-value transactions signal profitable opportunities for developers in both residential and commercial sectors. Additionally, the digitization of land records and enhanced transparency are boosting stakeholder confidence in the Indian real estate sector.”
The acquisition, finalized in September 2024, includes a stamp duty of Rs. 37.61 crore and a registration fee of Rs. 30,000. The land will be developed by Ekamaya Property Private Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Birla Estates Private Limited.
Birla Estates, known for its extensive development footprint, operates across Mumbai MMR, Pune, Bengaluru, and Delhi NCR. The company recently ranked third in Mumbai MMR for registered home sales value during the April-June 2024 quarter, with transactions totaling Rs. 1,126 crore. Birla Estates’ Q4 FY2024 report highlights a robust pipeline of 18 million square feet across various projects, with an estimated gross development value of Rs. 32,000 crore.
