The National Land Monetization Commission (NLMC) organized an auction for the sale of land blocks or plots belonging to Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Limited (RINL) (Vizag Steel Plant) in the port city through AP (Phase-1) E-auction, attracting a notable response from bidders, including NRIs. RINL properties situated at HB Colony near Seethammadhara, Autonagar, and Pedagantyada in the port city were auctioned on March 14 and March 15. A total of 220 enthusiastic bidders registered to participate in the e-auction.
Eventually, 72 plots and blocks, measuring 29,270 square yards, fetched INR 243 crore through the online bidding platform. The NLMC initiated the sale of 130 plots and 14 blocks of Vizag Steel Plant, out of which 63 plots and 9 blocks found buyers, while the remaining properties will be made available for Phase II auction in the near future. The auction featured a range of land plots or blocks, varying from 129 square yards to 5350 square yards, catering to diverse segments, including individuals, organizations, corporations, and others.
The sale featured reserve prices ranging from INR 70,200 to INR 85,800 per square yard, reflecting the prime locations of these properties in well-developed colonies or the central business district of Visakhapatnam, all free from restrictions with clear titles vested in RINL. Authorities are planning to conduct a Phase II auction soon. Interested parties can reach out to relevant officers during office hours, including NLMC General Manager Rohin Koppuravuri, RINL General Manager (Town Admin and Contract) Y Chandrasekhar, or NBCC GM Engineering Wing G Rajaram, via email.
In conclusion, the successful auction of RINL properties showcases a significant milestone in the strategic monetization of national assets. With substantial revenue generated and opportunities created for investors, this event marks a pivotal step towards economic growth and development. The participation of diverse bidders, including NRIs, underscores the global interest in India's real estate market. As we look ahead to future auctions and transactions, there is optimism for continued progress and prosperity in leveraging these valuable assets for the nation's benefit.
