Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani's Antilia is worth Rs 15000 crore, but they bought the land for just Rs...
Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani's Antilia is one of the most expensive private homes in the world.
Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani's Antilia: Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani's Antilia, a luxurious building which valued at a massive Rs 15,000 crore, was built for a staggering $2 billion (Rs approximately 17,400 crore). The ultra-luxurious mansion of the Ambani family was designed by Perkins and Will, an American architecture firm. It is named after a mythical Spanish island. However, do you know how much price had Mukesh Ambani paid to buy the land on which the Rs 15,000 crore worth Antilia is constructed? Here are all the details you need to know about the history of the land on which Antilia stands.
Media reports have it that the design of Antilia can withstand earthquakes of up to 8.0 on the Richter scale. It should also be mentioned that design of the mansion is so beautiful that the grandeur can be seen from each floor of the 27-storey building, which feature elegant interiors adorned with Lotus and Sun shapes. How Mukesh Ambani brought land for Antilia
In a recent statement that AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi made, he claimed that the land where Antilia was built originally belonged to a Waqf trust. Reports have it that, the property on which Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani's Antilia stands today was donated to the Waqf Board back in 1986 by Kareem Bhai Ibrahim. Kareem Bhai Ibrahim had allegedly given the land for purposes like religious education and building an orphanage, but the land was sold to Mukesh Ambani for Rs. 21.5 crore in 2012. Will Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani vacate Antilia?
The above-mentioned Antilia land deal came into controversy due to the Waqf Board's claim, which said that as per the Action Taken Report (ATR) presented in the Maharashtra Assembly, the property of the Waqf Board cannot be sold for private use. As of date, the matter has been pending in the Supreme Court of India and if the decision goes against the Ambani family, Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani along with other family members might have to vacate the land and leave their luxurious building.

AP partners with WEF for energy centre in Amaravati
Vijayawada: In a significant move to establish Andhra Pradesh as a global hub for innovation and sustainable development, the state government partnered with the World Economic Forum (WEF) to launch 'WEF-AP Centre for Energy and Cyber Resilience' in Amaravati. This initiative aligns with the government's ambitious 'Swarna Andhra Vision 2047'. A Government Order issued on Thursday formalized the establishment of this centre, which will operate under the WEF's global Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution (C4IR) Network. Notably, it will be India's first thematic C4IR centre and will focus on two critical areas: energy transition and green industries in collaboration with WEF's Centre for Energy and Materials (CENMAT) and AI-led digital transformation and cyber security, in partnership with WEF's Centre for Cyber Security. This initiative stems from high-level meetings with the WEF in Davos and is poised to position Amaravati as India's leading center for green energy, sustainability, and cyber security. The project is being spearheaded by Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu and IT Minister Nara Lokesh, with the overarching goal of enhancing AP's international profile and attracting significant investments in clean energy, Artificial Intelligence, and digital infrastructure. The centre's key objectives include elevating AP's global standing, fostering international partnerships, supporting the growth of green industries, enhancing cyber security capabilities, and running pilot projects in clean energy, smart grids, and the application of AI in sectors such as agriculture and governance. Furthermore, it aims at upskilling the workforce in cyber security and emerging technologies and connecting the state with prominent global platforms like the WEF's annual meeting at Davos. The state government has allocated Rs 36 crore to support the Centre's operations for three years. It will initially function from Vijayawada or Amaravati and will be governed by a high-level committee chaired by IT Minister Nara Lokesh.
