01 Jan 2021 CW Staff

Hemisphere Properties will possibly partner with Tata Construction and Tata Housing to develop these lands for mixed-use real estate, including shops, malls, and residential development. The Centre owns 26.12% shareholding, and the Tatas own an equivalent amount through Pantone Investments.

The company’s prime lands lie in Halisahar, Kolkata (35.19 acre), Chennai (53.04 acre), Chhatarpur, New Delhi (58 acre), Greater Kailash, New Delhi (69.46 acre) and largest land parcel in Dighi, Pune (524 acre).

The operations of the surplus land located in Pune will be dependent on the conditions and the performance of real estate markets in the Pune Metropolitan Region (PMR).

Additionally, in past years the company’s net worth was negative due to no business operations. The goal now is to monetise these lands, mentioned in the annual report.

The stock price of the company closed at Rs 73.60, up by 3.85%. It has a market cap of Rs 2,097 crore.

Hemisphere marks 2020 as a landmark year as it successfully demerged the additional land of VSNL into the company. In the past, it was unable to generate revenue due to the absence of assets but will do in future as it owns large parcels in major cities in India. The company is identifying possibilities to use the land-based on demographics while working closely with the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs.
