During the first nine months of 2024-25, Lodha added eight new projects across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), Bengaluru, and Pune, with a total gross development value of INR 19,500 crore.

India is witnessing a surge in land acquisitions as developers and investors respond to the growing demand for residential, commercial, and industrial spaces. Major real estate firms and institutional investors are actively securing land in prime urban areas and emerging growth corridors, driven by rising housing demand and infrastructure expansion. Metro cities like Mumbai, Delhi-NCR, and Bengaluru are experiencing record-high land transactions, particularly for luxury housing and mixed-use developments. Meanwhile, tier-2 cities also attract interest for residential, plotted developments, and warehousing projects.
This trend is further reinforced by the increasing participation of both global and domestic financial institutions, reflecting long-term confidence in India's real estate sector.
