03 May 2023 CW Team

Macrotech Developers Ltd will spend Rs 45 billion on real estate projects this fiscal year in an effort to strengthen its execution capabilities in the face of high housing demand. One of the top real estate companies in the nation is Macrotech Developers, which has its headquarters in Mumbai and offers its properties under the Lodha brand. Abhishek Lodha, MD and CEO of Macrotech Developers, stated that despite rising mortgage rates and home costs, demand for residential houses is still robust.

He noted that the company's sales bookings increased by 34% in 2022-23 to Rs 120 billion, and that it has set a goal for a 20% increase to Rs 145 billion in the current fiscal year. The company's ability to turn land into real estate products, quick building, and then sell them indicates its strength, according to Lodha, who highlighted that the company achieved a net operating cash flow surplus of Rs 46 billion. According to him, the extra income flow was used to pay off debt and invest in real estate.

Lodha stated, "In fiscal 2022-23, we spent a little over Rs 33 billion on construction, and this fiscal year that will ramp up by around one third." He estimated that Rs 43-45 billion will be spent on the building. "Our sales bookings increased 34% previous fiscal year. As a result, the cost of building will likewise increase. It proceeds in the same manner but a little later,” according to Lodha. Additionally, he claimed that during the previous fiscal year, the company aggressively acquired land parcels with a projected revenue potential of close to Rs 200 billion.
