Max Estates to
acquire West Delhi land for Rs 420.2 crore via share swap, no cash expenditure;
to develop it in phases.
Max Estates, the realty arm of the Max Group,
will foray into the residential segment of the Delhi realty market with plans
to acquire an 84.71-acre land lot in West Delhi through a non-cash share swap
arrangement, the company has said.
The corporate statement said the deal is
likely to unlock a development potential with an estimated gross development
value (GDV) of Rs 10,000 crore to Rs 12,000 crore in the next few years.
The corporation will acquire the land through
acquisition of nine promoter-owned companies that own the properties. Max
Estates will issue equity shares of up to 70 lakh at ₹597.50 per share to the
owners of the land-owning firms instead of paying cash for the land. The
overall value of the deal might be up to Rs 420.2 crore, subject to the
approval of shareholders and in-principle clearances from BSE and National
Stock Exchange.
In basic terms, landowners will get shares in
Max Estates in lieu of their ownership in the firms that control the land. This
implies Max Estates does not have to make a cash payment from its balance sheet
for the transaction.
This is a significant deal for Max Estate. It
offers us our first presence in Delhi, the one main NCR market we didn’t have
yet
a presence at a fraction of current land
values elsewhere in the region and without spending a rupee of cash. The
property parcel stands at the center of Delhi’s westward urban growth under
Master Plan 2047, with significant land-pooling momentum and better
connectivity through UER-II, Dwarka and IGI Airport. "At this scale, the
parcel gives us a multi-year, phase-able pipeline that directly addresses the
land-bank visibility, while remaining significantly accretive for all our
shareholders," said Max Estates Vise Chairman & Managing Director,
Sahil Vachani.
With this deal, Max Estates will enter Delhi
as its third core National Capital Region (NCR) market after Noida and
Gurugram. The company has a residential development pipeline of GDV of ₹16,150
crore as of Q2 FY27 and is planning to extend its pipeline of future
projects.”
The 84.71-acre lot will be built out over
several years in phases and may feature residential projects along with retail,
social and community facilities. According to Max Estates, this vast land lot
will give them a long-term pipeline and will also allow the company to retain
funds for further property acquisition options.
