Realty major Lodha Developers is set to scale up its project pipeline in the second half of the current financial year, with plans to launch 15 residential projects worth ₹14,000 crore across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), Pune and Bengaluru. The company, one of India’s largest housing developers, outlined the expansion in its latest investor presentation.  As per the GROHE-Hurun India Real Estate 150 list (2025), Lodha Developers Ltd (and the family) is valued at ₹1.38 lakh crore — making it the second-most valuable realty firm in India. 

 

The new launches will span 10 million sq ft of saleable area and form the core of Lodha’s H2 rollout strategy. The aggressive pipeline comes on the back of strong housing demand and rising pre-sales, helping the developer stay on track to meet its FY26 pre-sales guidance of ₹21,000 crore.

 

Pipeline Strengthens After Strong First Half

 

Lodha Developers launched projects worth ₹8,300 crore in Q1 of FY26 and ₹4,900 crore in Q2, taking its total launches for the first half to ₹13,200 crore. The planned H2 launches indicate a further acceleration.

 

“Significant launches planned in H2 across cities, on track to meet our FY26 pre-sales guidance of ₹21,000 crore,” the company stated in its presentation.

 

Sales Momentum Continues to Improve

 

The real estate firm posted 7% growth in pre-sales in the second quarter, reporting ₹4,570 crore in sales bookings versus ₹4,290 crore in the same quarter last year.

 

For the first half of FY26, pre-sales rose 8% to ₹9,020 crore, compared with ₹8,320 crore in the corresponding period of the previous year.

 

Lodha has consistently been growing its annual booking numbers:

 

FY25 pre-sales: ₹17,630 crore

 

FY24 pre-sales: ₹14,520 crore

 

Analysts say the company’s focus on branded mid-income and premium housing, combined with strong demand in MMR and Pune, continues to support volumes.

 

Strategy: Not Just New Launches, But Better Monetisation

 

Interestingly, the developer told analysts it is not relying solely on new project launches to achieve its annual pre-sales target. Instead, Lodha is pushing harder to monetise existing inventory across ongoing projects, improving execution speed and sales velocity.

 

The company has delivered 110 million sq ft of real estate so far and is currently developing over 130 million sq ft across ongoing and planned projects, giving it one of the largest active development pipelines in the Indian housing sector.

 

Foray Into Delhi-NCR on the Cards

 

In a strategic move, Lodha Developers also plans to enter the Delhi-NCR residential market, beginning with a pilot project in Gurugram. This marks the Mumbai-based company’s first significant step beyond its core western and southern markets.

 

With NCR’s residential demand rebounding sharply over the last two years, and branded developers gaining share from legacy builders, Lodha’s entry is expected to intensify competition among top-tier developers in the region.
