Virat and Anushka Continue Investing Crores in Indian Properties, Even After Shifting to the UK
Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma have made another major real estate investment in India despite relocating to the UK in 2024. The celebrity couple recently purchased land worth ₹37.86 crore in Alibaug, adding to their growing property portfolio. From luxury farmhouses to premium businesses, their financial strategy highlights continued confidence in Indian assets while choosing a quieter life abroad.
Even after stepping away from daily life in India, Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma are making it clear that their financial roots remain firmly planted back home. The power couple, who shifted their base to the UK in 2024 to prioritise privacy and family life, are once again in the spotlight for a major real estate move in Maharashtra’s coastal hotspot, Alibaug.
A ₹37.86 Crore Land Deal in Alibaug
According to property registration documents accessed via CRE Matrix, the couple has purchased two land parcels worth ₹37.86 crore in Alibaug. This marks their second major investment in the region within four years, reinforcing their long-term interest in the area.
The land is located in Zirad Village, close to Awas Beach in Raigad district. Spread across 1.474 hectares and 0.627 hectares, the combined land area comes to 21,010 square metres (over 5 acres).
Official records show they paid ₹2.27 crore in stamp duty and a registration fee of ₹30,000.
Not Their First Big Bet on Alibaug
This isn’t a one-off purchase. In 2022, Virat and Anushka grabbed headlines after buying an eight-acre plot in Alibaug for ₹19 crore. That property reportedly houses a luxury farmhouse featuring a temperature-controlled swimming pool, a customised kitchen, four bathrooms, a jacuzzi, staff quarters, and ample parking.
With the latest deal, their Alibaug investments alone now run into multiple tens of crores, clearly positioning the coastal town as a key pillar of their real estate strategy.
Virat Kohli’s Financial Sense Goes Far Beyond Cricket
Virat Kohli’s investment decisions reflect a sharp business mindset that extends well beyond the cricket field. One of the most talked-about examples is his premium restaurant chain, one8 Commune, which made headlines in recent months for its luxury pricing and upscale dining experience. The restaurant’s expensive menu sparked online debate, reinforcing its deliberately premium, aspirational positioning.
Beyond hospitality, Kohli has built a diverse portfolio across fitness, fashion, and lifestyle brands. He is a co-founder of Chisel Fitness, a high-end gym chain targeting urban fitness enthusiasts. In the fashion space, his association with Wrogn helped shape one of India’s most recognisable youth-centric clothing labels.
Life in the UK, Earnings and Assets in India
While the couple began spending most of their time in the UK in 2024, largely to raise their children away from constant public scrutiny, their financial activity remains deeply tied to India. From luxury real estate and restaurants to fashion labels, fitness ventures, and brand partnerships, India continues to be a major source of wealth creation for them.
Their continued investments underline a clear philosophy, physical relocation does not mean financial withdrawal.
Why Indian Real Estate Still Makes Strategic Sense
For high-net-worth individuals like Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma, Indian real estate — especially large land parcels in coastal belts like Alibaug - offers long-term asset security, appreciation, and flexibility. Improved connectivity from Mumbai and the rise of luxury second homes have further boosted Alibaug’s appeal among celebrities and industrialists.
Large land holdings also allow room for future development, premium resale, or legacy planning, making them both strategic and future-facing investments.
