Amitabh Bachchan Expands Real Estate Empire: Buys Fourth Property in Ayodhya for Rs 40 Crore
Amitabh Bachchan continues his real estate investment spree by acquiring a 25,000 square feet plot in Ayodhya for Rs 40 crore, adding to his growing portfolio in the temple town.

The land is located near the high-end ‘Sarayu’ real estate project, where Bachchan had previously invested Rs 14.5 crore. This acquisition follows his recent Rs 20 crore investment (Rs 10 crore each) in a real estate firm owned by Bollywood producer Anand Pandit. Bachchan’s strategic diversification of his real estate portfolio, particularly in Ayodhya, underscores the city’s rising importance in the Indian real estate market.
Bachchan’s investments in Ayodhya began last year when he bought a 5,372 square feet plot for Rs 4.54 crore just before the Ram Temple inauguration. Additionally, the actor registered a 54,000 square feet land parcel under his father Harivansh Rai Bachchan’s trust. Reports suggest he intends to build a memorial for his father on that land, a deeply personal tribute amidst his business expansions.
Speaking of his emotional connect, a source close to the development said, “It’s not just about returns. Mr Bachchan has expressed his admiration for Ayodhya’s cultural and spiritual significance.”
While Ayodhya dominates headlines, Bachchan’s real estate moves span beyond the city. In Mumbai, the actor recently made headlines for selling a duplex apartment in Andheri for Rs 83 crore, a property he had purchased in 2021 for Rs 31 crore, effectively more than doubling his investment in just three years. In 2023, he and his son Abhishek Bachchan jointly purchased 10 apartments, reportedly worth Rs 25 crore in total. The family’s growing real estate footprint reflects a calculated strategy.
Actor and Rajya Sabha MP Jaya Bachchan’s election affidavit last year provided a rare glimpse into the Bachchan family's net worth. According to the declaration, the couple’s total assets were valued at Rs 1,578 crore, including Rs 849.11 crore in movable assets and Rs 729.77 crore in immovable property. Given the actor’s continued property acquisitions and sales, those figures are likely higher now.
Amitabh Bachchan’s strategic real estate investments not only highlight his astute business acumen but also his deep emotional ties to Ayodhya. As the city continues to develop, Bachchan’s properties are poised to become even more valuable, solidifying his position as a key player in the Indian real estate market.
