9.  Traditionally, Vikhroli, a suburb to the Northeast of
Mumbai has been Godrej's manufacturing base, but
increasingly the group has moved significant production
facilities away from Mumbai. The Godrej group also owns
vast land in Vikhroli, occupying 3500 acres (14 km2) of land
on both sides of the Vikhroli section of the LBS marg. That
makes the Godrej group the biggest private land owner in
Mumbai by far. Such vast land can, in theory, be used to
create at least 1,500 acres (6.1 km2) of residential floor
space, which, at very modest rates (Rs.10000/sq ft), can be
sold for USD 16 billion. Thus, the Godrej group is sitting on
an invisible cashpile that is an envy of other Indian
conglomerates
