The 4,182 sq ft apartment, situated in the upscale Signia Pearl residential tower, has been rented to BP Exploration (Alpha) Limited — the Indian subsidiary of British energy giant BP, formerly known as British Petroleum.

Madhavan also received a security deposit of Rs 39 lakh.
The lease officially began in the first week of June 2025. As per the agreement, the monthly rent will remain Rs 6.5 lakh for the first year, with a 5% escalation in the second year, bringing the monthly figure to around Rs 6.83 lakh. The deal includes a lock-in period of 16 months. A stamp duty of Rs 47,000 and a registration fee of Rs 1,000 were paid to finalize the transaction.
BKC, long considered Mumbai’s premier financial hub, is home to several multinational corporations, banks, and consulates. While the area has traditionally been commercial, it has seen a surge in luxury residential developments catering to the city’s elite.
