Virat Kohli, Anushka Sharma’s investment

What happens when the most influential couple in Indian pop culture decides to plant roots on a massive 21,010-square-metre plot? For the Raigad district, it isn’t just a real estate transaction; it is a definitive market signal.

Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma’s recent acquisition in Zirad, Alibaug, for a staggering 37.86 Crore USD is the latest evidence that the “Hamptons of Mumbai” has officially transitioned from a sleepy coastal retreat into a high-stakes arena for global wealth.

The Math Behind the Momentum 

The transaction, registered on January 13, 2026, saw the couple shell out 2.27 Crore USD in stamp duty alone.

This wasn’t a snap decision. The seller, Sonali Amit Rajput, and the confirming party, Samira Land Assets, facilitated a deal that places Kohli and Sharma in the heart of Zirad—a micro-market that has seen explosive growth. 

This purchase represents more than just a home; it is a strategic land-banking move in a region where horizontal expansion is the only way to secure true privacy.

The Infrastructure Catalyst 

Why now? The answer lies in the concrete and steel of the Atal Setu. The commissioning of India’s longest sea bridge, alongside the Ro-Ro ferry services, has effectively deleted the geographical barrier between Mumbai’s financial hubs and Alibaug’s serene coast.

For HNWIs, Alibaug is no longer a logistical nightmare involving winding roads; it is a 20-minute transit. 

Connectivity has turned Alibaug from a seasonal luxury into a viable primary residence for those who value space over city-center proximity.

Why Zirad? 

While Alibaug has several coastal pockets, Zirad has emerged as the preferred destination for those seeking “estate-sized” holdings.

Unlike the cramped quarters of North Mumbai, a 21,010-square-metre parcel allows for an ecosystem: private organic farms, world-class athletic facilities, and absolute seclusion from the paparazzi lens. 

In the world of high-value real estate, square footage is common, but acreage within 30 miles of a global financial capital is a rarity.

The Infrastructure Trap 

While the headlines scream about the “Atal Setu” effect, savvy investors know there is a catch. 

The bridge brings you to the region, but it doesn’t solve the internal infrastructure of Raigad. 

Investors often get caught in the “Celebrity Premium” trap, buying adjacent plots at inflated prices only to find that the local power grids and water management systems haven’t scaled with the influx of billionaires.

For Kohli and Sharma, their scale (over five acres) allows them to build their own self-sustaining infrastructure, a luxury smaller investors won’t have.

Summary of the Deal:

• Total Outlay: 37.86 Crore USD (Purchase) + 2.27 Crore USD (Stamp Duty).
• Location: Village Zirad, Alibaug—the emerging hub for elite privacy.
• Market Driver: Drastic reduction in travel time due to the Atal Setu and Ro-Ro services.

Key Takeaways:

• Privacy is the new luxury: Celebrity acquisitions are moving away from urban luxury into massive land parcels.
• Infrastructure dictates value: The bridge is the single biggest factor in Alibaug’s 2026 price surge.
• Horizontal over Vertical: The preference for large land holdings is a long-term hedge against urban density.
