Air India’s iconic Mumbai building to be sold to Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust: Nitin Gadkari
“I told them you decide the price, I will ask JNPT to buy it. The building should remain with the government. Both the secretaries will sit together and decide the value and we will pay for it,” Gadkari said.
There are at least 10,800 square feet of space on each floor of the building. The proposal to sell the building to JNPT comes after the government’s efforts of strategic disinvestment of Air India, which is in financial crisis, failed to take off. Its debt burden is estimated to be over Rs 50,000 crore. The JNPT, located at Navi Mumbai and formerly known as the Nhava Sheva Port, handles around 55 per cent of the country’s container cargo and has an annual profit worth Rs 1,300 crore. It handled 66 million tonnes of container cargo in 2017-18.
