The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has announced the auction of nine prime plots in the Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC), aiming to raise at least ₹9,284.88 crore through long-term leases. The plots cover a total area of approximately 53,461 square meters (about 13 acres) and are located in BKC's 'G' block. The offer includes five commercial plots with a reserve price of ₹4,82,992 per square meter and four residential plots priced at around ₹3,52,008 per square meter. Despite BKC's prime real estate status, the MMRDA has struggled to attract bidders, particularly for residential plots, due to high reserve prices that deter potential investors. Industry experts have highlighted that the geopolitical climate further complicates the bidding landscape, making it challenging for developers to commit to high-capital leases. The bidding deadline is set for June 25, with a pre-bid meeting on May 25. This tender's success is vital for MMRDA, which is managing infrastructure projects exceeding ₹1.5 lakh crore, including major metro rail lines and other critical developments.
