Anamudi Real Estates LLP, a privately-held Godrej family arm, is likely to sell a 5% stake in Bengaluru-headquartered Sobha Ltd through block deals for US$ 100 m, CNBC-TV18 reported on 25 July citing sources.

Anamudi Real Estate holds a 9.9% stake in the real estate company.

There will be a 90-day lock-in period on further sales. The deal price has likely been set at a discount of 6% to the current market price of Sobha's stock.

Sobha Ltd was listed on the Indian stock exchanges in 2006 and is one of the leading players in South India. It has a presence in the Delhi-NCR market.

Sobha Ltd has chalked out an aggressive expansion plan and will soon enter the Mumbai luxury housing market, as it seeks to achieve more than a four-fold jump in annual sale bookings to Rs 300 bn in the next 4-5 years.

In May, Sobha Ltd Chairman Emeritus PNC Menon had said that the company would increase its equity capital by four times to Rs 100 bn over the next five years to support future expansion plans and would launch a rights issue to raise around Rs 20 bn.

Sobha Ltd is part of Sobha Group which was founded by PNC Menon in 1995. The Group has a real estate business in Dubai under an entity named Sobha Realty.
