NEW DELHI: Embassy East Business Park (EEBP), a subsidiary of Embassy Developments, has received an order from the Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board (KIADB) to surrender possession of a 78-acre land parcel in Bengaluru within 30 days, according to a BSE filing by the company.

The order, dated March 16, 2026, concerns land located in the Kadugodi Industrial Area, which EEBP has held under a lease-cum-sale agreement executed in June 2007, set to remain in effect until June 2029.

KIADB has invoked provisions under section 34B of the Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Act, 1966, claiming a breach of agreement terms. The authority cited a memorandum of understanding and agreements with third parties regarding portions of the land, alleging that these were executed without prior approval.

EEBP has refuted these claims, stating that the sub-lease arrangements were completed with no-objection certificates from KIADB, adhering to the lease agreement’s terms.

The company also emphasized that agreements to sell do not signify a transfer of ownership or possession and were executed in compliance with the original agreement. These arrangements were made to facilitate timely project development.

EEBP further argued that the necessary due process was not followed, claiming that prior submissions to KIADB, which clarified approvals and the nature of agreements, were overlooked in the order.

Embassy Developments is assessing the implications of the order and plans to seek legal remedies, including approaching the Karnataka High Court.
