Shares of Century Textiles & Industries, the real estate arm of the Aditya Birla Group, surged 8.2 percent in intraday trading today, reaching an all-time high of 2,689 per share. This follows a 5.6 percent rise in the previous session, bringing the total two-day gain to 14 percent. 

The rally was driven by the company’s acquisition of ownership rights for approximately 10 acres of leasehold land in Worli, Mumbai, from Mr Nusli Wadia for 1,100 crore. This transaction merges the existing leasehold interest into full ownership and will be developed through Birla Estates Pvt Ltd, its wholly-owned subsidiary.

Worli, a prime location in Mumbai, is currently experiencing a bullish trend in luxury real estate. The newly acquired land is expected to add an estimated booking value of 14,000 crore, contributing to a total of 30 acres of contiguous land in the area with an overall booking value potential of around 28,000 crore.

This includes the Birla Niyaara project, Birla Estates' flagship development. According to the company's regulatory filing, Birla Niyaara is among the fastest-selling ultra-luxury projects in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), with cumulative sales exceeding 5,700 crore since its launch. 

In late August, Birla Estates entered into a co-development agreement with the LGCPL group for a 131-acre land parcel in Sector 150 Noida. This project complements recent announcements, including new developments on Mathura Road in Delhi and two projects in Gurugram, located in Sector 31 and Sector 71.

Since entering into real estate in 2016 under the Birla Estates brand, Century Textiles has concentrated on residential and commercial real estate development in key Indian markets, including MMR, Bengaluru, NCR, and Pune. The company has also recently opened its first international office in Dubai to serve potential clients in the Gulf region.

Earlier in June, Birla Estates established a joint venture with Barmalt India Pvt Ltd to develop a luxury residential project in Sector 31, Gurugram. This project spans 13.27 acres, with a development potential of approximately 2.4 million square feet and an estimated revenue potential of around 5,000 crore.

During FY24, the company achieved significant milestones, selling nearly 1.7 million sq ft, amounting to 3,985 crore across all launched projects.
