the iconic air india building at nariman point was handed over to which state government?

The iconic Air India building at Nariman Point was handed over to the Maharashtra state government. The Maharashtra government acquired the building for Rs 1,601 crore with the approval of the central government. The building, constructed in 1974 on land owned by the Maharashtra government, will now be used as office space by the state government, particularly as an extension of the Mantralaya secretariat to address space shortages. The deal included the waiver of old dues payable to the state amounting to about Rs 298.42 crore. This transfer was completed after Air India vacated the building in 2023 and the Maharashtra cabinet approved the purchase in November 2023.
