Birla and Wadia Families Bury the Hatchet with Rs 1,100 Crore Land Deal
Real Estate News:In a surprise move, Birla group company Century Textiles and Industry announced a deal to buy a prime land parcel in central Mumbai's mill district from Nusli Wadia for Rs 1,100 crore. The two families, among the oldest denizens of corporate India, were at loggerheads over the Worli plot in what used to be the mill land and has now become prime real estate.

The matter was pending in the courts, with Nusli Wadia moving the courts in 2009 over the use of the land, which was leased by his great-grandfather to Century for a period of 999 years. In 2007, a textile mill on the land was shut down and the Wadias had stressed on getting an approval for a change in land use. In 2010, a local court stayed any developments on the plot.

However, with the Birlas' move to launch a new realty project, the Wadias issued a caution notice to the public asserting its control over the 10-acre parcel, and the Birlas also said that the parcel was not part of the development offered to the public.

The deal paves the way for a 30-acre contiguous landholding in this prime area with an overall booking value potential of approximately Rs 28,000 crore. Birla Niyaara, the flagship project launched by Birla Estates on the plot, has already notched sales of Rs 5,700 crore since its launch.
