MUMBAI: The iconic bungalow where Dr. Homi J Bhabha, father of India's atomic energy programme lived for years, has now been formally put on block. The reserve price for the property, which had been home to the illustrious Bhabha family including Dr. Homi Bhabha and Dr. Jamshed Bhabha, is set at Rs 257 crore.

Meherangir, the residential bungalow in south Mumbai's Malabar Hill overlooking Hanging Garden, is built on land parcel of around 17,150 sq ft. Built up space of the bungalow is around 13,953 sq ft.
