DLF shares tank after Robert Vadra controversy

Shares in DLF, India's biggest real estate developer, slumped to a low of Rs. 229.50 Monday, indicating an over 5 per cent cut from Friday's close. Last week, anti-corruption activists Arvind Kejriwal and Prashant Bhushan had alleged that DLF had gifted Robert Vadra, the son-in-law of Congress President Sonia Gandhi, a 65-crore interest-free loan and sweetheart deals on a series of apartments in Gurgaon.

DLF shares traded at the bottom of the 50-share Nifty, underperforming the broader BSE realty index, which traded 1 per cent lower. At 10.50 a.m., DLF shares were down 4.5 per cent at Rs. 230.90 on the NSE.

DLF yesterday denied all the charges, explaining that Mr Vadra was not offered unsecured loans or apartments at cheaper rates than other customers.
 
The activists, who launched an as-yet-unnamed political party earlier this week, said that DLF gave Mr Vadra an interest-free loan of Rs. 65 crore. The company says that in fact, it gave Mr Vadra's firm, Skylight Hospitality Private Limited, two advances of 50 crore and 15 crore for two plots of land near Delhi. The first deal went through. The second didn't and DLF says Mr Vadra returned the 15-crore advance.

The activists had also said that Mr Vadra was given a flat in the Aralias project in Gurgaon for Rs. 89 lakh. DLF says that he paid Rs. 11.90 crore for the apartment.

It also said that the activists had incorrectly accused it of giving seven apartments in its Magnolias project, also in Gurgaon, for Rs. 5.2 crore to Skylight. It claimed he has paid market rates. "As part of its real estate business, Skylight group had invested in Magnolias apartments at a price of Rs. 10,000 per square feet in March 2008, which was the prevalent offer price of the company for all its customers," the statement said.

DLF stated that Mr Vadra was never shown preferential treatment as a customer via special under-valued rates. It said that to the contrary, because Mr Vadra decided to buy some apartments at an advanced stage of construction, he paid more than other buyers who came on board sooner.

Mr Vadra told NDTV that the charges of corruption levelled against him by the activists are an attempt to "malign my family in order to gain cheap publicity for themselves and for the launch of their political party."
 
Mr Vadra also hinted that he may take legal action - he said the allegations made against him are "utterly false, entirely baseless and defamatory."
