DLF has officially exited the long-disputed INR 10,000 crore Tulsiwadi redevelopment project in South Mumbai after receiving INR 800 crore from Hubtown, ending years of litigation. The conflict began when a 900 crore loan from PNB Housing to the project's SPV was declared a non-performing asset in 2021, triggering share repossessions from DLF and Chinsha Property (Shapoorji Pallonji Group).
