Upon completion, each company becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary of Max Estates.
  • Consideration: Discharged through a preferential allotment of shares for consideration other than cash. Max Estates will issue up to ~70 lakh fully paid-up equity shares of face value INR 10 each at an issue price of INR 597.50 per share, aggregating up to ~INR 420.2 crore. The shares will be allotted to the shareholders of the land-owning companies based on a share-exchange ratio determined by KPMG Valuation Services LLP.
  • Implied Land Value: ~INR 4.95 crore per acre, as per independent third-party valuation.
  • Estimated GDV: ~INR 10,000-12,000 crore over the next few years, with an estimated developable area of 4-6 million square feet at a floor area ratio (FAR) of ~2.0x.
  • Land Cost as Percentage of GDV: Less than 5%, compared to a typical 20-25% for cash land purchases.
  • Implied Land Cost per Saleable Square Foot: Approximately INR 1,000 per square foot (illustrative, subject to final approvals).

Valuation and Governance Process

  • Property Valuation: Independently conducted by two global property consultancies—Cushman & Wakefield India and iVAS Partners.
  • Share-Exchange Ratio: Determined by KPMG Valuation Services LLP, an independent registered valuer.
  • Fairness Opinion: Issued by Motilal Oswal Investment Advisors Limited, a SEBI-registered Category I Merchant Banker.
  • Approvals: The transaction has been reviewed by the Audit Committee and approved by the Board of Directors of Max Estates. It requires approval from members at an Extraordinary General Meeting and in-principle approvals from BSE Limited and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited.

Business Rationale and Impact

  • Strategic Entry: Marks Max Estates' entry into the Delhi residential market, complementing its existing presence in Noida and Gurugram within the National Capital Region (NCR).
  • Land Bank Expansion: Adds a multi-year, phase-able land bank to the residential pipeline, providing forward visibility without repeated fresh land acquisition. The company's current residential pipeline is INR 16,150 crore GDV from Q2FY27.
  • Cash Preservation: No cash outflow from Max Estates' balance sheet, preserving cash and cash equivalents of ~INR 1,727 crore as of June 2026 for other land acquisition opportunities under evaluation.
  • Location Benefits: The land is situated in West Delhi, benefiting from infrastructure developments like the Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II) expressway (inaugurated in August 2025) and Delhi Metro Grey Line connectivity, with access to Dwarka, Gurugram border, and IGI Airport. It aligns with Delhi Master Plan 2047 and land-pooling policies.

Management Commentary

Mr. Sahil Vachani, Vice Chairman & Managing Director of Max Estates, stated: "This is a landmark transaction for Max Estates. It gives us our first foothold in Delhi — the one core NCR market we did not yet have a presence in — at a fraction of prevailing land values elsewhere in the region, and without deploying a rupee of cash. The land parcel sits at the heart of Delhi's westward urban expansion under Master Plan 2047, with strong land-pooling momentum and improving connectivity via 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."

Financial and Operational Impact

  • Capital Structure: The issuance of ~70 lakh equity shares will dilute the share capital, but the exact impact on shareholding pattern is not quantified in the disclosure.
  • GDV Potential: The estimated GDV of INR 10,000-12,000 crore is based on company estimates and subject to final layout and regulatory approvals.
  • Contingencies: The actual saleable area, product mix, and realizations may vary based on approvals and market conditions.
