Godrej and Lodha Expand Project Development Amid Market Uncertainty

Leading developers Godrej Properties and Lodha Developers significantly increased business development in FY26, with Godrej more than doubling its target to about ₹42,100 crore and acquiring 443.5 acres of land. Godrej shifted focus to outright project ownership and plans similar expansion in FY27, supported by strong pre-sales and demand mainly in Mumbai, Bengaluru, and NCR. However, consultants note that converting these developments into launches may take time, and developers remain cautious amid global uncertainties.
