Fresh Auction for Commercial Plot in Verna Estate: A Test for Goa's Real Estate Market
Real Estate News:The Goa Industrial Development Corporation (GIDC) has announced plans to hold a fresh auction for a commercial plot in Verna Industrial Estate. The decision comes after the corporation was unsatisfied with the bids received during the previous e-auction held for leasing the plots. The previous auction saw three commercial plots up for grabs, including one designated for a hotel and two generic commercial plots.

While the two generic plots received good prices, upwards of INR 25,300 per square meter, the bid of INR 8,600 per square meter received for the hotel plot was deemed unreasonable by GIDC managing director Pravimal Abhishek. As a result, the auction for the hotel plot was cancelled, and GIDC is now looking to re-auction it, hoping to get a better price. The commercial plots at Verna Industrial Estate range from 2,000 to 5,100 square meters. In March,

GIDC successfully auctioned 16 industrial plots via e-auction, earning INR 156.6 crores. The corporation has now started issuing allotment letters for these plots. The re-auction will be closely watched as an indicator of investment demand and real estate market recovery in Goa's industrial hub. The sizable industrial and commercial developments in the area have made the plots highly sought after. While the previous e-auction was largely successful, GIDC remains determined to achieve satisfactory prices for its inventory of available plots.
