04 March 2011 Agree with Mr. Sanjay Gupta. A private limited company can buy an agricultural land subject to such investment activity being approved in its MOA.

However answer to your second query is no. The Company cannot make investments in the name of its director. It is required to hold its investments in its own name as per Section 49 of the Companies Act, 1956.
