| Sources in the know told Business Standard that the property was being valued at Rs 60-80 crore. |
| The property is a corner plot on one of the posh roads in Lutyens' Delhi. Besides BJP politician L K Advani, industrialists such as Atul Punj, Naveen Jindal and Ravi Jaipuria live on Prithviraj Road. |
| The property's valuation seems conservative when compared with the Rs 137 crore paid by Bhushan Steel's Sanjay Singhal last July for a one-acre property at the posh Amrita Shergill Marg. |
| The Ruias of Essar bought 4, Tees January Marg, a sprawling 2.26 acre freehold property, for Rs 91.7 crore. |
| The fact that the government is in the process ofacquiring land near this plot for expansion of the Khan Market Road and the location of a cemetery close by could be factors that may have lowered the price in this regard. |
| "As there is very little supply in Lutyens' Delhi, there is no way for determining prices. The last deal becomes the benchmark for the next," said a property consultant. |
