The company will develop parcels in the Parel-Sewree division covering 41,526.07 square metres, with the deal registered on 11 February and a stamp duty of Rs 372 million (mn). The arrangement was disclosed via a real estate analytics firm.

The company will receive 63 per cent of sale income from the potential development, with Sahana receiving the remainder, and it plans to launch a premium development in the current quarter. The deal aligns with its strategy of securing land under various modes to select projects with targeted margins. Email queries sent to Lodha Developers remained unanswered.
