Railways
In 2006, the Railway Land Development Authority (RLDA) was established as a separate statutory body. The plan was to gradually hand over excess land with commercial potential to RLDA for development, sale, or lease.
However, actual monetization of RLDA properties has been lagging.
A valuable 4.5 hectare parcel near the Bandra railway station has been proposed for commercial development since 2006.
Auction reserve prices have been set between Rs 3,700 crore and 4,200 crore (around US$ 670 and 760 million). However, the property has been unable to attract bids at six successive auctions. [1]
