PRESS RELEASE

 

20.07.2016

 

LODHA GROUP CLOCKS INR 23500.000 MILLION IN HOME SALES IN JUNE QUARTER

 

Premium projects contributed significantly, with newly launched Lincoln’s Inn Fields in London and Lodha Altamount in Mumbai selling well

 

Bengaluru: Lodha Developers Private Limited, the country’s largest realty firm, has clocked INR 23500.000 million in sales from its residential projects in the April-June quarter, in line with the recovery in the sector that analysts have indicated.

 

Premium projects contributed significantly to the developer’s sales, with the newly launched Lincoln’s Inn Fields at Lincoln Square in London and Lodha Altamount on Mumbai’s Altamount Road selling well.

 

During the June quarter, the Lincoln Square project, launched in May, generated about INR 1500.000 million in sales. Its luxury project Lodha Altamount sold INR 2750.000 million of inventory in June alone, when it sold residential units to three high net-worth individuals (HNIs).

 

“In the current scenario, when many are finding it challenging to sell, their focus is to ensure that we maximize the sales in our projects. We also do extensive research on what buyers want, and the good thing is they are selling in every project, at various price points in the last few months,” said Prashant Bindal, chief sales officer, Lodha Group.

 

Compared with the January-March quarter, Bindal said sales have picked up April onwards. “In June, they crossed INR 10000.000 million in gross sales, touching INR 11000.000 million,” he said.

 

In 2015-16, Lodha generated about INR 8,0000.000 million of gross sales, higher than any other developer, but fell short of its own ambitious sales forecast of INR9,0000.000 million. This year, the developer has again set a target to hit the gross sales mark of INR 90000.000 million.

 

The June quarter sales number indicates that it has been a fairly good start for the firm in the current financial year.

 

Most real estate developers struggled to meet their residential sales guidance for the year 2015-16 due to tepid consumer sentiment and delays in securing project approvals.

 

Unable to launch projects and sell in line with expectations, some realty firms even revised or downsized their sales targets in the March quarter. High-end, or luxury project, launches have shrunk on the back of poor sales in most projects.

 

Bindal said that there are enough takers for such homes, where discerning buyers and investors are looking at the right brand and product before taking a decision. For instance, in its Trump Tower project in central Mumbai, the developer recently added six penthouses on the top floor, based on customer demand, though it was not a part of the original design. At 3,600 sq. ft, each penthouse is priced at INR 250.000 million, almost double the price of a regular apartment in the project, and Lodha has sold all of them.

 

While Lodha has restricted new project launches to focus on the existing projects, it will selectively launch new inventory this year.

 

Lodha Azzuro, in central Mumbai, is a brand new residential tower that will be launched in August. The project, which was earlier designed to have only three-bedroom homes, has now included a combination of two, three and four-bedroom homes, again based on customer demand and feedback.

 

Over the last three years, even when India’s real estate sector was in the grip of its worst ever crisis, what has emerged is that buyers are increasingly attracted towards larger, organized, so-called branded developers.

 

A July report by property advisory Knight Frank India said that the sector is on the path to recovery, citing better home sales and lower unsold inventory. Between January and June, project launches grew by 29% on a year-on-year basis and absorption or sales increased by 23% during the same period in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), the report said.

 

Demand in the premium residential segment, too, rose 15%, compared with the first six months of 2015. “The Mumbai property market has seen good growth this year, though it is still not at the 2010-11 level, particularly in the sub INR 70.000-80.000 million price category. Within the premium segment, central Mumbai continues to see degrowth in sales, while south Mumbai, where inventory is limited, has seen good improvement in sales,” said Samantak Das, chief economist and national director at Knight Frank India.

 

 

LODHA GROUP LOOKS TO BUY UP TO 15% IN PUNE'S VASCON

 

26.04.2017

 

MUMBAI: The Lodha Group, a Mumbai-based property developer, may acquire as much as 15% of Projects Company, Vascon Engineers BSE 4.01 %, seeking to tap into the expanding demand for affordable housing in India. 


The board of Pune-based Vascon Engineers will meet on Thursday to consider issuing compulsory convertible debentures through private placement. Lodha Finserve, the investment arm of Lodha Ventures, will subscribe to the convertible debentures, according to two people familiar with the structuring of the deal. 

“Lodha Finserve is acquiring about 12-15% of Vascon at a premium to the current market price, and it will be a strategic investment," a person familiar with the development told ET. “The proposed investment is essentially a bet on the affordable housing and the EPC (engineering procurement and construction) segments, which should expand as the Indian economy prospers." 


The stake will not provide Lodha Finserve any representation on Vascon's board, he said. 


Abhinandan Lodha, MD of Lodha Ventures, declined to comment. An email query sent to Vascon did not elicit any response. 

Shares of Vascon Engineers gained 2.5% to close at Rs 51.95 on Tuesday. The promoters own about 37% of the company, while UTI Mutual Fund holds a 2.5% stake. Vallabh Bhansali and Aakash Bhansali of Enam Holding own about 7% of the company.

 

 

LODHA GROUP LAUNCHES STARTUP INVESTMENT FUND FOR REALTY, SMART CITY TECHNOLOGIES

 

04.01.2017

 

MUMBAI: Realty developers Lodha Group has launched its maiden investment fund for startups focused on smart city solutions and overall real estate sector. With an initial investment corpus of INR 500.000 million, the company will provide angel funding or venture capital along with business opportunities, industry contacts and mentor support. 

 

Lodha Group’s Startup Investment Fund will invest in startups at all stages of the development cycle, including early stage startups, which are focused on creating value in the real estate and smart city space in India, the developer said in a release. 

 

Within real estate, the company will look at all aspects of the value chain including digital marketing, analytics, Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and smart city services. 

 

"Their fund's philosophy is in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's three core campaigns - Startup India, Housing for All and Demonetisation. Real estate sector is unarguably an important sector for India’s economy being the second largest employer in the country after agriculture. As India ushers in a new era on the back of path-breaking policy changes such as demonetisation, RERA and GST, the sector too will reap its benefits in the long run," said Abhishek Lodha, MD, Lodha Group. 


Lodha also added that the company has been working in a focused manner to establish this platform over the last few months. The fund has already vetted two-three business ideas and the first round of investments will be completed by March 2017. 


He expects demonetisation and decline in interest rates alongside the government's new incentives for low-cost housing will boost the overall growth of the real estate sector. 



LODHA GROUP'S SALES BOOKING UP 60% IN JANUARY-MARCH QUARTER AT INR 24000.000 MILLION

 

03.04.2017

 

NEW DELHI: Realty major Lodha group sold properties worth about INR 24000.000 million in the January-March quarter of last fiscal as its sales improved post demonetisation.


"Sales have recovered after demonetisation. They sold about INR 3850.000 million worth properties in January and Rs 800 crore in February. In March, we have sold properties of INR 1,2360.000 million which is our highest monthly sales performance ever," Lodha Group Chief Sales Officer Prashant Bindal told.


The company's sales bookings stood at about INR 1,5000.000 million in the year-ago period, he added. 


Bindal said the company's total sales bookings in 2016-17 are likely to cross about INR 64000.000 million that was achieved in the previous year. The total sales number would be finalised soon. 


Sales bookings of the Mumbai-based group declined to about INR 4000.000 million level in November and December due to adverse impact of demonetisation, he said.


Two residential projects, World Towers and Palava, in the Mumbai Metropolitan region contributed the most to overall sales bookings. 


Bindal said housing sales have picked up, especially in low-cost homes category, after the government's announcement of infrastructure status to the affordable housing and other tax and interest subvention incentives. 

"They have handed over more than 7,100 homes to customers in 2016-17. They spent almost INR 4,0000.000 million on construction, which is the equivalent of completing construction of 2 crore sq ft in one year," he said. 

Privately held Lodha Group is a leading real estate developer with presence in India and the United Kingdom. 

The company is currently developing around 41 million sq ft of prime residential real estate. It has 31 ongoing projects across London, Mumbai Metropolitan Region, Pune and Hyderabad.
