Ambani Family May Lose Antilia: Mukesh Ambani’s luxurious home Antilia in Mumbai has once again caught public attention, but this time not for its grandeur. A legal dispute has emerged, raising questions over the ownership of the land on which it stands. The property, reportedly worth ₹15,000 crore, is located on Mumbai’s Altamount Road and is considered one of the most expensive private residences in the world.
According to reports, the land was purchased by Mukesh Ambani from the Waqf Board in 2002 for around ₹21 crore. However, controversy erupted after the Waqf Board claimed that its land cannot be sold for private use. A report presented in the Maharashtra Assembly revealed that this particular plot was originally donated for religious education and to build an orphanage.
This land deal has now become a major issue after the Waqf (Amendment) Bill 2025 was passed in Parliament and received the President’s assent. The bill aims to increase transparency in Waqf-related matters. The changes have brought renewed focus on past land transactions, including the sale of land to Ambani.
The matter has been pending in the Supreme Court for a long time. If the court rules in favor of the Waqf Board, the Ambani family might have to vacate Antilia. Legal experts believe the case could set a precedent for similar property disputes across India.
President Droupadi Murmu also approved the repeal of the old Mussalman Wakf Act, marking a significant change in Waqf property laws. These developments have made the Antilia land dispute even more serious.
Currently, there is no final verdict but the case continues to spark debate across legal and political circles. The future of one of India’s most iconic homes now depends on the court’s decision.
Meanwhile all eyes are on the Supreme Court’s final decision. The outcome could impact not just the Ambani family but also future dealings involving Waqf properties. Until then, the luxurious Antilia remains under scrutiny surrounded by legal, political and public interest from across
the country.
