Plot History
Srinivas Mills shut down in 1982. [15] Electricity
was cut off in 1984. 7000 people used to work
in the mill. [15] Then there was a court case that
went on for 22 years and in 2005 March the
Bombay High Court finally delivered its verdict:
Lodha Group will pay a total
160 crore ( US$ 31.92 million). 60 crore
will go to the ex-mill workers, many of
whom died before the court case was
finished. [15]
Lodha Group will build a spinning mill or
garment plant in Maharashtra on an area of
1 lakh sq feet to hire the former mill
workers or their relatives. [15]
In February 2011, the Civil Construction
contract has been given to a JV between
Arabian Construction Company and Simplex
Infrastructure for Rs 450 crore, to be completed
in 38 months. [16]
The tower will require: [4]
