PROJECT LOCATION

BACKGROUND
4.1

The MMRDA is a statutory body constituted under the provisions of Mumbai Metropolitan
Region Development Authority Act 1974. The MMRDA is also appointed as the Special
Planning Authority appointed under section 40 of the Maharashtra Regional and Town
Planning Act, 1966 for Bandra -Kurla Complex Notified Area by the State Government
and is engaged in promoting the planned and orderly development of the notified area.

4.2

The International Finance and Business Centre (IFBC) is a part of Bandra-Kurla


Complex. IFBC spread over an area of 130 hectares & already has leading financial
institutions like ICICI, UTI, Citibank, IL&FS, NSE, NABARD, BOB, SBI, SEBI BOI, Dena
Bank, operating in this Centre. Similarly leading banks like and are in the process of
developing their office buildings.
A large Diamond Bourse and a 440 room Trident (Oberoi) hotel are nearing completion
under construction. The IFBC has thus emerged as the new finance and business district
of Mumbai. The total employment of IFBC is expected to be around 150,000
CONCEPT OF THE CONVENTION & EXHIBITION CENTRE (C&EC)

4.3

Recognising the need of the Convention & Exhibition facilities in such a business
district, MMRDA has decided to promote the establishment of a state-of-the-art
Convention & Exhibition Centre, that will be a first of its kind in the country. As Western
India has no major Convention & Exhibition Centre, it is expected that Convention &
Exhibition Centre would meet the growing needs not only of Mumbai city but also of the
entire country. It has the following advantages :

A central location at the junction of the downtown and uptown areas of the city,
in close proximity to Mumbais airport, that will be further enhanced with the
development of the Western Freeway (presently under construction).
A large unencumbered site in a well-planned area of the city.
A substantial hotel room cluster with the 440 room Trident Oberoi in the nearby
location (adjacent to the site), 770 room Grand Hyatt just to the north, 505 room
Taj Lands End in Bandra (West) and the large hotel room clusters near the
airports and in Juhu.
A market with considerable latent demand, especially for exhibition space, due
to lack of suitable facilities.
A large economy with Mumbai being at its commercial centre.
Strong space rental rates for exhibition spaces that compare favourably with
other centres in South East Asia.
Construction costs in Mumbai and the country are still lower than in most parts
of the world.

MMRDA Convention & Exhibition Centre, Commercial Complex.


Request for Proposal

PARTICULARS OF LAND
4.4

Out of plot No. C-64 land admeasuring 55000 sq.m. is allocated for Convention &
Exhibition Centre and 20,000 sq.m. is allocated for Commercial Complex for its use
as described in Section 5 & 6 of this RFP.

4.5

The plots in the International Finance & Business Centre are already developed with
roads, storm water drainage, water supply and underground sewerage. The Lessee will
have to apply for power supply, gas & telephone facilities, easily available in the area, to
the appropriate authorities.

4.6

The plot is situated at a distance of 200 m. from the High Tide Line along the Mahim
Creek delineated by the Chief Hydrographer, Government of India. For CRZ purposes
the width of adjoining Mahim Creek governs the width of CRZ. The distance of 200 m.
is more than the width of the creek. The plot is therefore outside the ambit of Coastal
Regulation Zone as prescribed by the Ministry of Environment and Forest. The
Coastal Zone Management Plan (CZMP) based on this has also been approved by the
Ministry of Environment and Forest

4.7

The land put to bidding is situated in Greater Mumbai and falls within the purview of the
Urban Land (Ceiling & Regulation) Act, 1976. The Lessee will be granted exemption
under Section 20 thereof to hold the land on lease.

4.8

4.9

The development of infrastructure will proceed in accordance with and subject to plans
and programmes of the Metropolitan Authority subject however to any unforeseen
contingencies. Failure to accomplish such plans or non-availability of the infrastructure
amenity will not relieve the Lessee of the obligations devolving upon him.
Though the F.S.I. permissible for commercial use in BKC is 2.00. The plots of land for
Convention & Exhibition Centre and Commercial Complex are not being offered for
development with 2.00 FSI but are being offered with fixed built up area as described
below:
(i)

The Plot of land admeasuring 55,000m2 is designated as Commercial &


Exhibition Centre and

(ii)

Plot of land admeasuring 20,000m2 is designated as Commercial Complex.


The total built up area being made available for Convention & Exhibition
Centre is 65,000 m2 and the total built up area being made available for
Commercial Complex is 50,000 m2. The grand total of built up area being
made available for (i) and (ii) is 1,15,000 m2. In this case the total plot of land
is (i) 55,000 m2+ (ii) 20,000 m2 = 75,000 m2 and the total built up area being
made available in this RFP is 1,15,000 m2 only.
Except F.S.I. all other
Development Control Regulations of Bandra Kurla Complex will be have to be
adhered to.
