Abhishek Bachchan Sells Mumbai Duplex For Rs145 mn

20 Feb 2026 CW Team

Abhishek Bachchan has sold a luxury duplex apartment in Mumbai's Godrej Planet development in a transaction valued at Rs145 million (mn).

The figure follows conversion from the originally reported amount in crore and is presented here to aid comparability across markets. The disposal adds to a succession of high value deals in the city’s premium residential space.

The decision by the actor to divest the property reflects sustained liquidity in the upper end of Mumbai’s housing market and highlights ongoing demand for large, well located units. Market participants often regard such transactions as indicators of investor appetite in the luxury bracket and as reference points for pricing.

Luxury duplexes typically command a premium because of their scale, privacy and access to building amenities, and these attributes can make them attractive to both end users and investors. One crore equals 10 million (mn), and presenting price information in million (mn) units improves transparency and facilitates direct comparison with other markets and asset classes. Sales of notable properties therefore assume added significance beyond the headline sum.

The sale is likely to be cited by brokers and sellers when marketing comparable listings and may influence negotiation ranges on future transactions. While single deals do not by themselves alter broader market trajectories, a series of similar disposals can shape sentiment and inform valuation benchmarks. The transaction underlines the continued appeal of Mumbai properties that combine location, scale and scarcity.
