Plot History

Srinivas Mills shut down in 1982.[15] Electricity was cut off in 1984. 7000 people used to work in the mill.[15] Then there was a court case that went on for 22 years and in 2005 March the Bombay High Court finally delivered its verdict:

  • Lodha Group will pay a total ₹160 crore (US$19 million). Indian rupee 60 crore will go to the ex-mill workers, many of whom died before the court case was finished.[15]
  • Lodha Group will build a spinning mill or garment plant in Maharashtra on an area of 1 lakh sq feet to hire the former mill workers or their relatives.[15]

In February 2011, the Civil Construction contract has been given to a JV between Arabian Construction Company and Simplex Infrastructure for Rs 450 crore, to be completed in 38 months.[16]

The tower will require:[3]

  • 250,000 cubic metres of concrete supplied by Lafarge[17]
  • 40,000 m2 of glass
  • 35,000 tonnes of steel rebar
  • 14 million man hours
