Mumbai Khadi & Village Industries Association Sells 3.84-Acre Borivali Land Parcel for ₹539 Crore

Mumbai Khadi & Village Industries Association Sells 3.84-Acre Borivali Land Parcel

In a notable land deal in Mumbai’s western suburbs, the Mumbai Khadi & Village Industries Association (MKVIA) has sold a 3.84-acre land parcel in Borivali West for over ₹539.25 crore. The buyer, a local real estate developer, secured the land through a competitive bidding process and has already made an upfront payment of ₹52.25 crore, with the remaining ₹487 crore to be paid in tranches linked to construction milestones.

This transaction follows MKVIA’s strategic move to convert the land from Occupancy Class-II (a restricted tenure requiring government approvals for transfer) to freehold status. The conversion, completed in April and May 2024, involved a premium payment of ₹51.7 crore to the government, granting the trust full ownership rights and enabling the sale.

According to documents accessed via real estate data analytics firm CRE Matrix, the final payment under the agreement is due upon receipt of the full occupation certificate or within 1,620 days from the registration of the conveyance deed – whichever is earlier. Flexibility for revising timelines has also been built into the contract.

The deal was finalized after receiving clearance from the Charity Commissioner under the Maharashtra Public Trusts Act, with approvals granted through four separate orders dated January 8, 2025.

This transaction reflects a broader trend of large-scale land acquisitions in Mumbai as developers aggressively pursue redevelopment and mixed-use opportunities in high-potential urban zones. With sustained demand for both residential and commercial spaces, land parcels in key localities like Borivali are attracting significant investor interest.

India’s land market is witnessing strong momentum across metro cities like Mumbai, Delhi-NCR, and Bengaluru, where developers are focusing on luxury housing and mixed-use formats. Tier-2 cities are also emerging as hotspots for residential, plotted, and warehousing projects, driven by infrastructure development and evolving urban needs.

Mumbai’s real estate market continues to witness high-value land transactions. Recent deals, especially in prime suburbs, highlight the growing demand for residential and commercial projects.

IndoSpace Leases Over 700,000 Sq Ft Warehousing Space to RenewSys India

IndoSpace Leases Over 700,000 Sq Ft Warehousing Space

In a landmark development for India’s logistics and warehousing industry, IndoSpace has leased out more than 700,000 sq ft of Grade-A warehousing space to solar PV modules manufacturer RenewSys India Pvt Ltd. The facility is located in Khalapur, near Mumbai. This deal marks the largest logistics transaction of the year so far.

This long-term lease, exceeding 10 years, signals an increasing demand for high-quality logistics infrastructure from India’s green energy sector. To accommodate operational customization, the facility was handed over for fit-outs on March 25, with four months allotted for interior modifications. According to documents accessed through CRE Matrix, the rent commencement date, including a three-month rent-free window, is set for November 25, 2025.

RenewSys India, a leading integrated solar PV modules manufacturer, will pay an initial rental of ₹1.44 crore per month for the facility. The lease agreement includes structured rental escalations – a 15% hike after the first 36 months, followed by a 5% annual increase for the remaining term.

The lease also incorporates a five-year lock-in for IndoSpace and a full-term lock-in for RenewSys. This highlights a strong mutual commitment and operational continuity.

Common area maintenance (CAM) charges have been set at ₹1.06 per sq ft per month, with an annual escalation of 5%. During the fit-out phase, CAM charges are significantly lower, at just ₹0.25 per sq ft per month.

This leasing deal is not just about space – it’s about strategic expansion. RenewSys will use the Khalapur facility as a key logistics hub to support its manufacturing units in Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and Panvel. The company continues to scale its operations to meet both domestic and international solar energy demands.

The deal underlines the growing popularity of India’s warehousing and logistics sector. With industries like renewable energy, e-commerce, manufacturing, and 3PL driving demand, long-term leasing has become more common. This reflects tenant confidence and market evolution.

Backed by favorable government policies, infrastructure upgrades, and a robust consumption-driven economy, India’s logistics sector is now aligning with global standards – ready to power the next wave of industrial growth.

Citigroup Leases 7.7-lakh-sq-ft Office in Pune’s Kharadi

Citigroup Inc. has finalized one of the largest commercial office space transactions of the year. The financial services giant has secured over 7.7 lakh sq ft of office space through a long-term lease in Pune’s Kharadi locality. According to records obtained by CRE Matrix, the company has leased 10 floors at Panchshil Business Hub for an estimated Rs 1,100 crore. 

The lease, which starts on April 1, covers the commercial tower’s 7th through 16th floors. Depending on the level, the starting monthly rentals range from Rs 2.02 crore to Rs 2.71 crore. The contract specifies a lock-in duration of 4-5 years for various floors. It also mentions a 15% rental escalation clause every 36 months.

The leased space has been secured through Citigroup’s subsidiary, Citicorp Services India. They primarily provide back-office, technology, and operational support services for the global operations of Citigroup. 

Of the total space, 3.07 lakh sq ft is located on the 13th to 16th floors, and 2.34 lakh sq ft is spread across the 10th to 12th floors. The remaining 2.29 lakh sq ft is on the 7th to 9th floors.

Puravankara Chairman Acquires Office space in Andheri, Mumbai, for Rs 242 Crore

puravankara chairman acquires office space

Mumbai’s commercial real estate market has witnessed a significant transaction, with Ravi Puravankara, founder and chairman of Puravankara Ltd, acquiring over 104,000 sq ft of office space in Andheri for Rs 242.1 crore. According to documents obtained through CRE Matrix, the purchase was made from Rockfort Estate Developers, an HLV Group promoter company. With the acquisition, Puravankara now has exclusive use of over 135 parking spaces in the business complex.

The agreement, which was finalized on Wednesday, includes twelve commercial apartments located on the 7th, 8th, and 9th floors of Business Park 2, a prestigious business complex in Marol, Andheri. The stamp duty of about Rs 14.5 crore, paid to complete the registration, demonstrates the size of this investment.

Puravankara, who previously focused on South Indian real estate markets like Bengaluru and Chennai, is making a calculated move with this acquisition. Nonetheless, the business has been aggressively growing its footprint in Mumbai’s real estate market in recent years by making well-thought-out investments in residential and commercial real estate.

Though the exact purpose of the recently gained space is yet unknown, there are several conjectures regarding its possible usage. Given that the agreement was concluded in Ravi Puravankara’s personal capacity, it is unclear if the space will be leased to high-end tenants, converted into a larger corporate office, or utilized to launch a new company segment.

The deal highlights the increasing trust that investors have in Mumbai’s commercial real estate market. High-net-worth individuals seeking to diversify their investment portfolios continue to be drawn to the city due to its steady rental yields and optimistic economic outlook.

Bollywood stars and sports figures, as well as developers and industrialists, have been actively purchasing commercial buildings in Mumbai, utilizing them as profitable investment opportunities. The trend reflects the general belief that real estate is still one of the safest and most lucrative asset classes for preserving and increasing wealth.

Ravi Puravankara’s most recent acquisition further strengthens Mumbai’s need for upscale office space. Industry insiders predict additional high-value deals in the upcoming months as the city’s commercial real estate sector continues to flourish, solidifying Mumbai’s position as one of India’s most vibrant real estate marketplaces.

Recent Transactions

A rise in high-value office space transactions in Mumbai’s commercial real estate market is indicative of strong investor confidence.

Kalpataru Secures 7.5-Acre Redevelopment Projects in Mumbai Worth Rs 2,000 Crore Revenue

Kalpataru Secures 7.5-Acre Redevelopment Projects in Mumbai

Kalpataru, a prominent real estate developer, has signed contracts for two sizable housing society projects in Chembur and Goregaon in Mumbai. With a combined development area of more than 1.5 million square feet, these projects have a potential revenue of more than ₹2,000 crore. It is anticipated that the projects will be finished 42 months after construction begins.

Kalpataru has signed individual agreements and obtained approvals from current members for the redevelopment of two important housing societies: The five-acre Suman Nagar Housing Society in Chembur will replace ten existing residential buildings with six contemporary towers, providing about 350 new flats and a saleable carpet area share of more than 4.20 lakh sq ft. 

Located close to Link Road and the Bangur Nagar Metro station, the 2.5-acre Goregaon Housing Society consists of the conversion of eight residential structures into three towers with 18 habitable stories. With a saleable carpet area of over 2 lakh square feet, the project can house 200 units. According to documents accessed by CRE Matrix, Kalpataru has already paid roughly ₹27.60 crore in stamp duty to register these agreements.

Since its founding in 1988, Kalpataru has established a solid reputation in Mumbai’s redevelopment industry. The company has completed eight projects in desirable neighborhoods like Byculla, Sion, Bandra, Juhu, Andheri, and Santacruz. The company now oversees four rehabilitation projects in Santacruz, Bandra, and Matunga, and three more are planned for Juhu, Borivali, and Andheri.

The renovation of old housing societies is an important aspect of Mumbai’s real estate market because of the city’s land limits. The Maharashtra government has actively supported such initiatives by introducing policies to ease the financial burden on residents. In 2023, the state government decided that members of housing societies getting redeveloped would only have to pay a small stamp duty of Rs 100 for the permanent housing they were given, while the conveyance laws would charge the principal agreement between the developer and society.

Recent Transactions

Kalpataru’s latest redevelopment ventures in Chembur and Goregaon mark another milestone in Mumbai’s real estate sector. As redevelopment continues to be a driving force in Mumbai’s property market, projects like these pave the way for a more modern and sustainable urban landscape.

In a recent transaction, Kanakia Spaces Realty Pvt Ltd acquired development rights for two old buildings in Borivali, Mumbai, worth ₹208.53 crore.

Mahindra Logistics Secures Long-Term Lease for 500,000 Sq Ft Warehousing Facility in Pune

Mahindra Logistics Secures Long-Term Lease for 500,000 Sq Ft Warehousing Facility in Pune

Mahindra Logistics, a prominent supplier of third-party logistics (3PL) solutions and part of the Mahindra Group has secured a long-term lease for 500,000 square feet of space in the Khed neighborhood of Pune according to documents accessed through CRE Matrix. With a total warehouse portfolio of more than 22 million square feet, the company has solidified its place as a significant player in India’s rapidly expanding logistics sector.

The warehouse, which is situated in Karanje Emerald Industrial Park, is leased for ₹1.15 crore a month for five years. A 5% annual rental escalation is included in the agreement after the first two years. To secure the lease, Mahindra Logistics registered the agreement on January 20 and gave a security deposit equal to three months’ rent. Although rental payments will begin on April 3, the license period formally began on January 3.

As per the agreement, the lease rentals are exclusive of Goods & Services Tax (GST), which will be borne by the tenant. However, the rentals do cover common area maintenance charges, with any additional utility or service costs falling under the tenant’s responsibility.

Mahindra Logistics has a strong presence in several important Indian marketplaces. This recent lease demonstrates the company’s dedication to expanding operations in response to rising demand. The company has stated that it currently manages over 22.1 million sq ft and continues to explore and assess new growth opportunities. Delivering outstanding value to stakeholders and customers, fostering innovation, and securing its position as a pioneer in integrated logistics solutions continue to be its top priorities.

A rise in e-commerce, changes in supply chain tactics, and the demand for effective distribution networks have all contributed to the notable expansion of India’s storage sector. 3PL businesses like Mahindra Logistics are growing to serve sectors like consumer products, retail, automobiles, and pharmaceuticals. The industry’s quick development is further facilitated by the move toward structured storage and the use of technology-driven solutions.

Recent Transactions

As businesses place more emphasis on well-located warehouses, Mahindra Logistics’ growth in Pune reflects the sector’s increasing significance in optimizing supply chains and facilitating a range of commercial activities. 

In a similar transaction last year, Indian multinational tyre manufacturing company, MRF leased 3.85 lakh sq ft of large warehousing space in the village Sudvadi, Mawal area of Pune district.
