History

On April 11, 2016, Emaar Properties terminated its joint venture with MGF Developments.[6] Following this, Emaar MGF Land Ltd filed the demerger scheme in Delhi High Court on May 16, 2016.[7]

In August 2017, Emaar India stated that it has appointed of Snapdeal’s Chief Strategy & Investment Officer Jason Kothari and Sudip Mullick of the law firm Khaitan & Co to the board of directors.[8]

Emaar India communicated to its customers about initiating the process of demerger of the Company pursuant to a Scheme of Arrangement under Section 391-394 of the Companies Act, 1956 and filing such Scheme with Delhi High Court. It also shared target completion schedules for all projects with achievement of specific milestones and uploaded the same on its website to reassure customers that ongoing projects would be completed.[9]

Emaar revamped its project management team to speed up execution and delivery of over 50 projects that were stuck due to the impending demerger between the two parent companies. The developer hired over 100 additional employees in the Project Management space.[10] The developer increased its workforce to 10,000 labourers at the time of initiating the demerger process.[10] By September 2017, the labourers headcount was more than 15,000.[11]

Controversy

In response to a directive from a Gurugram court, authorities filed an FIR against UAE-based realtor company Emaar Properties PJSC, its Indian subsidiary Emaar India, and 13 others. The allegations included cheating MGF, their former business partner, through the undervaluation of land and other offenses. Emaar India refuted any criminal association, describing the accusations as an attempt by MGF to harass Emaar and its employees.[13]

The FIR, initiated on November 20,2023, following an order by Chief Judicial Magistrate Ramesh Chander, names Emaar Properties PJSC, Emaar India Ltd, director Bharat Bhushan Garg, and others. According to the complaint filed by Saurabh Singh on behalf of MGF Development Limited, the accused undervalued land in Gurugram sectors, allegedly with the assistance of Jones Lang Laselle (JLL), an independent valuer. The complaint asserts that forged valuation reports were created to cause wrongful loss to MGF. Additionally, Emaar is accused of exploiting warranty indemnity and litigation indemnity agreements for personal gain, leading to losses for MGF.[14][15]
