Lodha Developers , one of India's leading real estate companies, has reported its best-ever second quarter presales of INR 45.70 billion, marking a 7% year-on-year growth. This strong performance has positioned the company to achieve 43% of its full-year guidance of INR 210 billion in the first half of the fiscal year.

Financial Highlights

The company's financial results for Q2 showcase robust growth across key metrics:

Lodha Developers maintained a healthy EBITDA margin of 34.4% despite joint development agreements (JDAs) contributing nearly 50% of presales. The company's net debt stood at INR 53.70 billion, representing a conservative 0.25x equity ratio.

Business Development and Expansion

Lodha has completed its full-year business development guidance of INR 250 billion Gross Development Value (GDV) in the first half itself, adding new projects worth INR 23 billion in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR).

The company is also diversifying its portfolio beyond residential real estate. Lodha has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Maharashtra government for a data center park at Palava, spanning 400 acres with a power capacity of 3 gigawatts. This strategic move has already secured anchor customers including Amazon Web Services and STT.

Infrastructure Developments

Abhishek Lodha, Managing Director and CEO, highlighted key infrastructure developments that are set to boost the company's projects:

"The Palava-Airoli-Mulund freeway is approaching completion and should be operational next quarter, which will be a huge value leg up for Palava," Lodha stated. He also mentioned the progress on the bullet train connectivity from Mumbai to Ahmedabad, with the first station after BKC at Palava, expected to be operational by 2028 or 2029.

Expansion into New Markets

Lodha Developers is eyeing expansion into the National Capital Region (NCR), with initial focus likely to be on Gurugram. This move aligns with the company's strategy to diversify its geographical presence beyond its stronghold in Mumbai and recent successes in Pune and Bangalore.

Future Outlook

The company remains optimistic about the Indian real estate market's long-term prospects. Abhishek Lodha commented on the market cycle, stating, "We think India is going to have a cycle which is that long. We are only in the year 4 or 5 out of that very long cycle."

With its strong financial performance, strategic expansions, and focus on infrastructure-led growth, Lodha Developers appears well-positioned to capitalize on the evolving Indian real estate market.

As the company continues to diversify its portfolio and expand its geographical footprint, investors and industry observers will be keenly watching Lodha's execution of its ambitious plans, particularly in the data center space and new market entries.
