o3plus md buys bungalow

Vineet Kapur, founder and managing director of the skincare brand O3plus, along with his wife Sonia Kapur, has purchased a premium bungalow in Delhi’s posh Vasant Vihar area for a whopping Rs 72 crore. The property, built on a 663 sq m plot, is one of the latest additions to the capital’s booming luxury real estate segment.

According to data accessed via CRE Matrix, the transaction was registered in the first week of April, with Kapur paying a stamp duty of Rs 1.8 crore.

This high-profile acquisition comes shortly after Eleannt Enterprises secured a 1,280-sq yd plot in the same neighbourhood for Rs 95 crore, highlighting Vasant Vihar’s continued appeal among HNIs and business leaders. CBRE acted as the exclusive advisor for Kapur’s deal.

South Delhi, particularly areas like Vasant Vihar, has emerged as a hotspot for luxury homebuyers. Industry estimates peg the real estate potential of this upscale region at an astounding Rs 5.65 lakh crore across 42 colonies regulated by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD). These colonies, largely classified under Categories A and B, are home to a significant number of high-value residential plots, both occupied and vacant.

As per recent data, there are about 18,446 plots available across these colonies, with plot sizes ranging from 125 sq yd to 1,750 sq yd. Prices currently range between Rs 6 lakh to Rs 15 lakh per sq yd, depending on location, connectivity, and property status.

Over the past couple of years, Delhi-NCR has witnessed a surge in luxury housing sales. This is driven by increasing affluence, generational wealth transfers, and a desire for bespoke, premium living environments. Experts anticipate sustained momentum in this segment as demand continues to rise across both established and emerging luxury micro-markets.

Zomato Leases Office Space in Andheri

In a major commercial leasing transaction, Eternal Ltd, formerly known as Zomato, has signed a five-year lease for 84,157 sq. ft. of prime office space in Andheri, Mumbai. The deal is valued at ₹85 crore, as per documents accessed by CRE Matrix.

The lease deal was registered on May 9, 2025, and the new workspace is located on the 7th floor of R Square, a commercial building owned by Histyle Retail Pvt Ltd (Runwal Realty). The leased premises include six units and 57 car parking spaces, offering a significant footprint in one of Mumbai’s busiest commercial hubs.

The lease agreement begins on May 1, 2025, and includes a 60-month lock-in period for the licensor and 36 months for the licensee. As per documents accessed by CRE Matrix, the monthly rent is set at ₹1.34 crore for the initial 36 months, after which it will increase to ₹1.54 crore for the remaining two years, reflecting a 15% escalation. The effective rent works out to approximately ₹160 per sq. ft.

This move aligns with Eternal’s evolving corporate vision. In February 2025, Zomato officially rebranded itself as Eternal Ltd. This was a shift in focus beyond its core food delivery business. Founder and CEO Deepinder Goyal shared that the rebranding reflects the company’s broader ambitions, particularly with the growing impact of Blinkit, Zomato’s quick-commerce arm.

Commenting on the strategic location, Abhishek Kiran Gupta, CEO and co-founder of CRE Matrix and IndexTap.com, said that Andheri is emerging as a prominent office market due to factors such as increasing annual leasing activity, ongoing housing developments, enhanced metro, airport, and highway connectivity, as well as robust hospitality infrastructure. He added that these advantages are driving many established brands to set up their base in Andheri.

Senior Advocate Arun Kathpalia Purchases Bungalow in Delhi’s Golf Links for ₹69 Crore

Lutyens Delhi

In a recent high-value transaction, Delhi High Court senior advocate Arun Kathpalia, known for his expertise in dispute resolution, purchased a 763 sq yard bungalow in Delhi’s posh Golf Links neighborhood for a whopping ₹69 crore. According to documents accessed through CRE Matrix, the transaction involved a stamp duty payment of ₹4.14 crore.

Kathpalia now joins the distinguished league of legal luminaries such as former Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi, former Solicitor General Gopal Subramanium, and former Additional Solicitor General Vikas Singh, who have all made recent property acquisitions in the Lutyens’ Bungalow Zone (LBZ).

Golf Links, along with nearby Sunder Nagar, has become a preferred address for lawyers due to its strategic proximity to the Supreme Court and the Delhi High Court. The area also attracts high net worth individuals (HNIs) and corporate heavyweights, drawn to its exclusivity and heritage charm. With extremely limited inventory and consistent demand, prices in the area have remained robust.

The Lutyens’ Bungalow Zone spans 28 square kilometres and is home to approximately 3,000 bungalows originally built for top government officials, ministers, and judges. Around 600 of these are privately owned, often by some of India’s wealthiest citizens. Designed by British architect Edwin Lutyens between 1912 and 1930, the LBZ remains one of the most prestigious residential enclaves in the country.

Despite a slight dip in optimism, HNI interest in real estate remains resilient. According to India Sotheby’s International Realty’s latest luxury residential outlook survey, 62% of HNIs and ultra-HNIs plan to invest in real estate over the next 12-24 months, down from 71% in 2024. Nearly half of the respondents expect returns in the range of 12%–18%, while 38% anticipate returns below 12%.

While overall optimism has slipped from 79% in 2024 to 71% in 2025, confidence in India’s macroeconomic fundamentals remains strong. Most investors continue to view India as the fastest-growing major economy, with GDP growth expected to stay within the 6%–6.5% range.

Recent Transactions

The Lutyens’ Bungalow Zone in Delhi has witnessed a series of high-end property transactions, driven by top legal minds and business elites. Limited availability, heritage charm, and prime location continue to make it one of India’s most coveted addresses. 

In a recent transaction, Sanjay Kukreja, a partner at ChrysCapital, and his wife, Shaveta Sharma, purchased a 1,250-square-yard bungalow in the upscale Golf Links area of South Delhi for ₹155 crore. In another transaction, Sidhant Real Estate, a company led by DLF Chairman Rajiv Singh and his family, acquired a grand bungalow in the upscale neighborhood of Prithviraj Road in Lutyens’ Delhi for ₹150 crore.

The office is located in the Lotus Signature building on Veer Desai Road. Each unit offers 1,905 sq ft of RERA carpet area, totalling 3,810 sq ft. The deal was officially registered on April 3, 2025.

Barcode Influencer Marketing Pvt Ltd has leased the property and has paid a security deposit of ₹43.7 lakh. The lease also includes a 5% rent increase, which means the monthly rent will reach ₹13.3 lakh by the fifth year. The lease provides six designated parking spaces and a fit-out period of 75 days for renovation and refurbishment.

Abhishek Kiran Gupta, the CEO and co-founder of CRE Matrix, highlighted that this deal, totalling ₹7.26 crore in rent over the license period, shows how important Andheri West has become as a commercial hotspot in Mumbai.

He added that certain Grade A commercial developments might fetch a significant premium over other projects in the same region, even if location is still a major determinant of the per square foot rate. He believes that in the future, project significance will take precedence over location.

Mumbai Khadi & Village Industries Association Sells 3.84-Acre Borivali Land Parcel for ₹539 Crore

Mumbai Khadi & Village Industries Association Sells 3.84-Acre Borivali Land Parcel

In a notable land deal in Mumbai’s western suburbs, the Mumbai Khadi & Village Industries Association (MKVIA) has sold a 3.84-acre land parcel in Borivali West for over ₹539.25 crore. The buyer, a local real estate developer, secured the land through a competitive bidding process and has already made an upfront payment of ₹52.25 crore, with the remaining ₹487 crore to be paid in tranches linked to construction milestones.

This transaction follows MKVIA’s strategic move to convert the land from Occupancy Class-II (a restricted tenure requiring government approvals for transfer) to freehold status. The conversion, completed in April and May 2024, involved a premium payment of ₹51.7 crore to the government, granting the trust full ownership rights and enabling the sale.

According to documents accessed via real estate data analytics firm CRE Matrix, the final payment under the agreement is due upon receipt of the full occupation certificate or within 1,620 days from the registration of the conveyance deed – whichever is earlier. Flexibility for revising timelines has also been built into the contract.

The deal was finalized after receiving clearance from the Charity Commissioner under the Maharashtra Public Trusts Act, with approvals granted through four separate orders dated January 8, 2025.

This transaction reflects a broader trend of large-scale land acquisitions in Mumbai as developers aggressively pursue redevelopment and mixed-use opportunities in high-potential urban zones. With sustained demand for both residential and commercial spaces, land parcels in key localities like Borivali are attracting significant investor interest.

India’s land market is witnessing strong momentum across metro cities like Mumbai, Delhi-NCR, and Bengaluru, where developers are focusing on luxury housing and mixed-use formats. Tier-2 cities are also emerging as hotspots for residential, plotted, and warehousing projects, driven by infrastructure development and evolving urban needs.

RenewSys India, a leading integrated solar PV modules manufacturer, will pay an initial rental of ₹1.44 crore per month for the facility. The lease agreement includes structured rental escalations – a 15% hike after the first 36 months, followed by a 5% annual increase for the remaining term.

The lease also incorporates a five-year lock-in for IndoSpace and a full-term lock-in for RenewSys. This highlights a strong mutual commitment and operational continuity.

Common area maintenance (CAM) charges have been set at ₹1.06 per sq ft per month, with an annual escalation of 5%. During the fit-out phase, CAM charges are significantly lower, at just ₹0.25 per sq ft per month.

This leasing deal is not just about space – it’s about strategic expansion. RenewSys will use the Khalapur facility as a key logistics hub to support its manufacturing units in Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and Panvel. The company continues to scale its operations to meet both domestic and international solar energy demands.

The deal underlines the growing popularity of India’s warehousing and logistics sector. With industries like renewable energy, e-commerce, manufacturing, and 3PL driving demand, long-term leasing has become more common. This reflects tenant confidence and market evolution.

Backed by favorable government policies, infrastructure upgrades, and a robust consumption-driven economy, India’s logistics sector is now aligning with global standards – ready to power the next wave of industrial growth.
