Auction-defence angles specific to Ahmedabad

GIDC plots require GIDC lease-transfer no-objection; Ashram Road commercial units clear at reserve because of high FSI value; residential auctions in west Ahmedabad clear in 2–3 rounds. Auction challenges under Section 17 succeed on reserve-price defects, valuation-report suppression and inadequate publication.
