Synopsis

Delta Corp promoter Jaydev Mody has a significant stake in Peninsula Land, headed by his sister Urvi Piramal and run by his nephews. This has raised governance concerns as the company doesn’t seem to have taken even the large shareholders into confidence. Also, the move comes at a time when Delta is facing an INR23,000 crore GST liability.

From the development of Mumbai’s first mall Crossroads at Tardeo in the late 1990s, to the redevelopment of one of the earliest mill lands of the city, Morarjee Mills at Lower Parel, Jaydev Mody has been a prominent figure in Mumbai’s real-estate scene.
