CEO and Managing Director of Macrotech Developers, Abhishek Lodha, said that the company's strong sales bookings show recovery in the housing market and have taken root. The multi-year up-cycle in the housing sector is well underway.

He said that the company is witnessing a strong demand across its portfolio and at all price points. On the supply side, the company is accelerating at a great pace.

He added that the company has already raised Rs 4,000 crore from institutional investors. The company signed six more joint development agreements (JDAs) for 4.8 million sq ft with Rs 10,000 crore gross development value (GDV).

The company has already added 11 JDA projects of 8.8 million sq ft with a GDV of around Rs 14,600 crore.

Lodha expects housing demand to strengthen in the next 12 months on the back of strength in the Indian economy and government policies for the housing sector.
