The property is located in the upscale Rustomjee Elita building and includes two parking spaces. Documents accessed through Zapkey.com reveal that the apartment was sold on January 22, 2025, at an impressive Rs 72,000 per sq ft.

Ghai originally purchased the apartment in August 2016 for Rs 8.72 crores, a significant profit over eight years. The sale was registered with a stamp duty payment of Rs 77 lakh and a registration fee of Rs 30,000. The buyer, Sameer Gandhi, has acquired a prime property in one of Mumbai’s most sought-after locales.
Property Details and Market Insights
The apartment, located on the 14th floor of Rustomjee Elita, boasts panoramic views and is part of a building in the heart of Mumbai’s western suburbs. Andheri West is a prime real estate hub surrounded by prominent neighborhoods like Lokhandwala, Juhu, and Bandra.

Local brokers confirm that properties in Andheri often command prices above Rs 50,000 per sq ft, with premium developments fetching upwards of Rs 65,000 per sq ft. The sale price achieved by Ghai aligns with these market trends, underlining the continued demand for luxury homes in the area.
