Lodha Developers plans to buy at least one NCR land parcel in FY25

Looking to enter the Delhi-NCR housing market, Lodha Developers Ltd MD and CEO Abhishek Lodha said the company expects to acquire at least one land parcel this fiscal in this important region for development of its first residential property.

At present, Lodha Developers has a significant presence in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, Pune and Bengaluru housing markets.

According to the transcript of management's discussions with analysts, Abhishek Lodha said the company would undertake a few housing projects in the pilot phase to understand the market better and also gradually build a team for the effective execution of projects.

"The Delhi NCR is an important market for us to get into. We obviously, as we have done in Pune and Bengaluru, will only enter in a gradual manner. We will be starting off with a pilot phase with a moderate number of projects and a moderate level of investment with a view to understand better how the market operates and how we build out the supply chain for operations as well as sales," he told analysts.

 

In the pilot phase, the focus would be on building its local operating team.

"We expect that we will conclude one or more land transactions either on a joint development basis or otherwise in the course of this financial year and hope to launch in the next financial year," said Abhishek.
