Realty major Lodha Developers Ltd, India’s second-most valuable real estate firm, has announced plans to launch 15 residential projects worth Rs.14,000 crore across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), Pune, and Bengaluru in the second half of FY26. The aggressive pipeline, spanning 10 million sq. ft. of saleable area, was outlined in the company’s latest investor presentation.
The expansion builds on a strong first half, where Lodha launched projects worth Rs.8,300 crore in Q1 and Rs.4,900 crore in Q2, taking total launches to Rs.13,200 crore. The company said the upcoming launches will help it stay on track to achieve its FY26 pre-sales guidance of Rs.21,000 crore.
Sales momentum has remained robust. Lodha reported 7% growth in pre-sales in Q2, with bookings of Rs.4,570 crore compared to Rs.4,290 crore last year. For the first half of FY26, pre-sales rose 8% to Rs.9,020 crore, versus Rs.8,320 crore in the same period of FY25. Annual pre-sales have consistently grown, rising from Rs.14,520 crore in FY24 to Rs.17,630 crore in FY25.
Analysts note that Lodha’s focus on branded mid-income and premium housing, combined with strong demand in MMR and Pune, continues to support volumes. Importantly, the company is not relying solely on new launches to meet its targets. Lodha is also pushing to monetise existing inventory, improve execution speed, and accelerate sales velocity across ongoing projects.
With 110 million sq. ft. delivered and over 130 million sq. ft. under development, Lodha holds one of the largest active pipelines in India’s housing sector.
In a strategic move, Lodha also plans to enter the Delhi-NCR market with a pilot project in Gurugram. This marks its first significant step beyond western and southern India. With NCR’s residential demand rebounding and branded developers gaining share from legacy builders, Lodha’s entry is expected to intensify competition among top-tier players in the region.
