The agency has attached certain land assets of the company in Kerala valued at Rs. 201.60 crores .
The Bengaluru-headquartered real estate company in its regulatory filing clarified that at present, it has no plans to develop the land parcels in question. Therefore, the provisional attachment will have no short or medium-term impact on the company's operations.

The Company believes that there has been no wrongdoing from its side and hence, is confident of obtaining a favourable outcome through appropriate legal recourse," said Sobha in the regulatory filing.
