A Reliance Industries firm has purchased a bungalow on Prithviraj Road in Lutyens Delhi for Rs 3.5 billion, excluding taxes, marking the latest high-value deal in the capital's most exclusive residential zone. The transaction with Anant Ambani's family office was finalised in late July, according to Singaporean businessman Bhupendra Modi, the seller.
A Reliance spokesperson confirmed the purchase and said the property will be used as a guest house for employees travelling to Delhi. The company did not respond to queries about the involvement of Mukesh Ambani's youngest son or the transaction value. The Lutyens Bungalow Zone, home to the prime minister, president and top judges, has seen surging demand despite tight supply and government curbs on renovations.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The deal underscores the premium on land in the LBZ, where private bungalows are scarce and protected by heritage and height restrictions. Prices in the zone have held steady even when broader Delhi real estate softened, because ownership turnover is rare. The purchase through Anant Ambani's family office, rather than directly by Reliance, may also be a structure that offers tax or estate planning advantages, as family offices typically manage wealth separately from corporate balance sheets. What to watch: whether the Delhi Urban Art Commission or the Lutyens Bungalow Zone authority approves any alterations to the property, and whether the transaction value is disclosed in Reliance's quarterly filings, which would confirm the price.
