Lodha said, "There was no reserved price fixed by the NTC."

He said it might take about three months for completing the acquisition process.

Asked what the group plans to do on the land, Lodha said, "At this point of time it is too early to say anything."

The revival plan of the ailing NTC hinges upon the sale of surplus land. Most of the mills had land in downtown areas of different cities.

Lodha said the group had acquired the NTC's Apollo Textile Mills land in 2005 for Rs 180 crore in the adjoining area at Lower Parel.
