Reliance Communications (RCom) has received interest for its 125-acre land bank in Navi Mumbai and is understood to have finalised eight bidders for its development and sale. Sources said the debt-laden company — which owes Rs 47,000 crore to banks and other lenders — is heavily banking on proceeds from the land monetisation as it can provide immediate cash to clear pending dues. The DAKC (Dhirubhai Ambani Knowledge Centre) campus in Navi Mumbai has the potential to develop 20 million sq ft for IT, commercial, and residential space. “Parties include Canada’s Brookfield, real estate companies Wadhwa Group, Raheja and Panchshil, office space developer RMZ, private equity players KKR and Blackstone,” sources said. HDFC Realty is the independent valuer for the land bank and it is estimated that its value can be in “thousands of crores of rupees”. However, there is no independent confirmation of the exact evaluation numbers. The movement on Navi Mumbai land comes just as RCom’s lenders have approved the sale of its real estate assets in Delhi and Chennai to Brookfield for a consideration of Rs 800 crore.
