At over Rs 2.83 lakh per sq ft on a carpet basis, the deal sets a new benchmark as the most expensive residential property sale ever recorded in India. Tewari has paid over Rs 63.9 crore towards stamp duty and the Goods & Services Tax (GST) alone for the registration of the transaction, bringing the total cost to nearly Rs 703 crore.
Earlier this month, billionaire banker Uday Kotak set a new national benchmark by finalising the purchase of eight additional apartments, completing the acquisition of an entire residential building on Worli Sea Face for over Rs 400 crore. Some of the transactions concluded by Kotak were closed at a rate of Rs 2.90 lakh per sq ft, but this includes the inclusion of land rights, given that he now owns the entire building.
Mumbai, the country’s largest and most expensive real estate market, has continued its record-setting spree by scaling yet another peak, registering the highest number of property transactions ever recorded in the month of April. The city continues to dominate the country’s real estate market, maintaining its streak of record-breaking transactions backed by unwavering demand from buyers despite steady growth in property prices and the government’s recently announced hike in ready reckoner (RR) rates from April 1.
South and Central Mumbai, home to India’s costliest residences, have been at the forefront of this boom, attracting a string of high-value deals involving industrialists, senior corporate leaders, film stars, and sports icons in recent years. The luxury real estate market in these areas remains robust, driven by the desire for premium living spaces and the prestige associated with owning property in these prime locations.
USV Ltd, a leading player in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sector, has seen significant growth under Tewari’s leadership. Her acquisition of these luxury duplexes in Worli not only underscores her personal success but also highlights the growing trend of high-net-worth individuals investing in premium real estate in Mumbai. The deal is expected to further fuel the real estate market in the city, setting new standards and expectations for luxury property sales in the future.
