Maharashtra Forms SIT to Examine 174-Acre Kalyan Land Transaction

Mumbai, September 17, 2026: Maharashtra’s Revenue Department has formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to examine the ownership and transaction history of a 174-acre parcel of land in Kalyan.

The land was originally government-owned grazing land and was transferred to Premier Automobiles in the 1960s. The inquiry will examine subsequent dealings involving the property, including transactions concerning portions of the large parcel.

Why the Land Is Being Examined

The SIT will review documents connected with the original transfer and subsequent transactions.

Officials will examine how different portions of the land changed hands over the years and whether the rules and conditions attached to the original transfer were followed.

The inquiry will also cover transactions involving real-estate companies that later became associated with portions of the property.

Revenue Records Under Review

The investigation will involve a review of available government, revenue and land records to establish the property’s transaction history.

This includes documents relating to the original transfer to Premier Automobiles, subsequent transactions and relevant permissions or government orders concerning the land.

The objective is to establish the facts surrounding the property’s ownership and transfer history over the decades.

Significance for Kalyan’s Real Estate Market

The size of the parcel makes the investigation relevant to the Kalyan property market and the wider Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR).

Kalyan has experienced residential and infrastructure development in recent years, increasing the importance of large land parcels for future development.

The formation of an SIT, however, does not by itself establish that any transaction was illegal or that any party committed wrongdoing. Such matters will depend on the findings of the investigation.

Focus on Land Ownership History

The inquiry highlights the importance of clear ownership records when government land is transferred and subsequently involved in transactions over several decades.

The SIT’s findings could provide greater clarity on the sequence of transactions involving the 174-acre parcel and the circumstances in which different portions changed hands.

For the real-estate sector, the case also highlights the importance of title verification, historical land records and compliance with conditions attached to government land transfers.
