MCGM Refuses to Halt Godrej Properties' Kandivali Project Despite Defence Ministry Concerns
Real Estate Mumbai:The Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) has decided not to issue a stop work notice to Godrej Properties' ongoing residential project in the Kandivali suburb of Mumbai. This decision comes despite the defence ministry's Central Ordnance Depot (COD) citing the project's proximity to the Kandivali complex.

The COD had written to the MCGM seeking suspension of work at the 'Godrej Reserve' project, which is being built on an 18.6-acre land parcel with an estimated revenue potential of Rs 7,000 crore. The developer has already launched about 1.91 million sq ft and had got bookings for 1.51 million sq ft worth Rs 2,693 crore.

The MCGM, however, has stated that the project is permissible under the provisions of the Maharashtra Regional Town Planning Act, 1966, and the Development Plan, 2034. The civic authority has also pointed out that there are approximately 100 ongoing developments in the vicinity of COD, Kandivali, and Malad, which are permitted in accordance with the circular dated 21.10.2016.

Godrej Properties had bought the plot in December 2022 and has said that the project will have a development potential of about 3.72 million sq ft with an estimated revenue potential of nearly Rs 7,000 crore. The project will comprise mainly premium residential apartments and some retail units.

The defence ministry's Central Ordnance Depot (COD) is a unit of the Defence Ministry of India. The COD is responsible for the storage and supply of ammunition and other military equipment to the Indian Armed Forces.

Godrej Properties is a leading Indian real estate developer with a presence in Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, and other cities. The company is known for its premium residential and commercial projects.
