Embassy Developments Limited Faces Order Regarding Land Held by Subsidiary
Embassy Developments Limited announced that a Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board (KIADB) order has been passed concerning land held by its subsidiary, Embassy East Business Park Limited (EEBP). The order, dated March 16, 2026, and received by EEBP on March 17, 2026, pertains to approximately 78 acres of land situated in the Kadugodi Industrial Area, Bengaluru Urban District.EEBP holds leasehold rights on the land pursuant to a Lease Cum Sale Agreement (LCSA) dated June 7, 2007, with KIADB, which is valid until June 6, 2029.
The KIADB order, issued under Section 34B of the Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Act, 1966, directs EEBP to surrender possession of the land within 30 days. The order cites alleged breaches of the terms of the LCSA, including execution of agreements involving third-party sub-lessees and potential buyers without prior KIADB approval.
Embassy Developments Limited maintains that the allegations are unfounded and that EEBP intends to challenge the order legally. Reasons for the challenge include: the sub-lease arrangements were conducted with a no-objection letter from KIADB, agreements to sell do not constitute a sale and were executed expressly subject to LCSA compliance, and that KIADB violated natural justice by not addressing prior communications outlining these points.
The company, along with EEBP, is evaluating the order's implications and plans to seek legal remedies, including approaching the Hon'ble High Court of Karnataka.
