History

[edit]

The House of Abhinandan Lodha was founded in 2021 by Abhinandan Lodha,[2][3] who previously served as the Deputy Managing Director at Lodha Group,[4][5] a real estate company also based in Mumbai.[6] The company operates as a subsidiary of Lodha Ventures,[7] which was founded by Abhinandan Lodha in 2015.[8] HOABL focuses on land development projects in various locations, including Alibaug, Anjarle, Dapoli, and Neral in Maharashtra, as well as Ayodhya and Goa.[9]

The company launched its first project in April 2021 in the Konkan region of Maharashtra. In 2022, it acquired 51 acres of land in Ayodhya.[10] By 2023, HOABL reported acquiring over 500 acres of land and committed to investing ₹11,000 crore to acquire and develop 3,000–3,500 acres across India in the next 3–4 years.[11][12] As part of this plan, ₹3,000 crore will be invested in Uttar Pradesh alone, including ₹1,200 crore in Ayodhya.[13] By 2024, HoABL had acquired a total of 75 acres in Ayodhya.[14]

HoABL also stated its intention to invest ₹3,000 crore in six other cities, including Amritsar, Khopoli near Mumbai, Nagpur, Shimla, Varanasi, and Vrindavan.[15] In January 2024, media reports indicated that Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan purchased land in The Sarayu, a mixed-use project in Ayodhya. In July 2024, actress Kriti Sanon was also reported to have acquired land in the company's Alibaug project, Sol de Alibaug.[16]

In November 2024, HoABL acquired the American Center in the Marine Lines area of South Mumbai for Rs 56 crore.[17]

[edit]

In June 2023, HOABL partnered with Indigo Hospitality for a restaurant project in Alibaug.[18] Later that year, it formed a joint venture with HDFC Capital Advisors, investing ₹1,500 crore in plotted and low-rise developments across India.[19] In January 2024, HOABL announced a ₹2,000 crore investment in hotels for its existing and upcoming projects, including locations like Ayodhya, Varanasi, Vrindavan, Shimla, and Amritsar.[9] Additionally, it partnered with The Leela Palaces Hotels & Resorts to develop a hotel in Ayodhya in their The Sarayu project.[20]
