The company described the purchase as consistent with its aim to deepen market share in Pune and accelerate local project launches.

The group said it acquires land through outright purchases and partnerships with landowners to build a strong pipeline of projects. Lodha has developed more than 100 million square feet to date and maintained a strong presence in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, Pune and Bengaluru housing markets. Management highlighted that the combined pipeline and recent land acquisitions are intended to support medium term revenue growth and deliver a diversified portfolio. It has recently entered the Delhi-NCR residential market.
