Lodha To Invest Rs 19 Billion in NCR Housing Project

29 Jul 2025 CW Team

The project is expected to launch by April 2026, positioning Lodha in direct competition with regional market leaders such as DLF. Known for its upscale developments in Western India, Lodha aims to become one of the top three developers in any city it enters within three years, as per Chief Sales Officer Prashant Bindal.

The move is part of a broader trend in the real estate sector, with major players expanding beyond their core geographies to tap into high-growth urban markets. DLF recently saw a complete sell-out of the first phase of its Mumbai debut, generating over Rs 23 billion in sales. Similarly, Bengaluru-based Prestige Estates Projects has entered Mumbai with three completed developments covering 2.8 million square feet.

Such cross-regional expansions are intensifying competition for prime land parcels, experienced talent, and institutional capital. Analysts suggest this reflects growing confidence in India’s luxury housing market, although developers may face challenges if the current property cycle slows.

Lodha has plans for seven to eight project launches in 2025 across Mumbai, Pune, and Bengaluru. The company remains confident in replicating its Western success in the fragmented yet promising NCR market.

Its capital-intensive approach signals a shift in Indian real estate, where leading developers are focusing on scale, consolidation, and enhanced project quality to appeal to affluent, discerning buyers.

Bloomberg also highlights that although the high-end housing market has rebounded post-pandemic, it remains vulnerable to cyclical risks such as interest rate fluctuations and regulatory shifts.

Lodha’s Rs 19 billion bet on NCR will serve as a key test for the region’s luxury real estate resilience amid a surge in new launches and rising competition.
