Lodha Developers Reports 42% Increase in Q1 Net Profit to Rs 675 Crore Amid Strong Housing Demand

Lodha Developers Ltd, a real estate company, announced a 42% increase in its consolidated net profit for the first quarter of this fiscal year. The profit reached Rs 675.1 crore, up from Rs 475.9 crore in the same period last year. This rise is attributed to increased income driven by strong housing demand.

The company's total income for the April-June period of the 2025-26 fiscal year increased to Rs 3,624.7 crore from Rs 2,918.3 crore in the previous year's corresponding period. This information was disclosed in a regulatory filing.

Strong Pre-Sales Performance

Abhishek Lodha, MD and CEO of Lodha Developers, noted that the latest June quarter marked their best-ever first-quarter pre-sales performance at Rs 4,450 crore. However, he mentioned that uncertainties during the India-Pakistan conflict affected performance.

Abhishek Lodha stated that structural industry tailwinds are supporting their business strategy. Factors like low home-ownership levels, rising household incomes, and low mortgage rates are driving demand for quality homes from branded developers like Lodha.

Future Growth Prospects

The company aims for a sustainable 20% topline growth in the foreseeable future. Abhishek highlighted that interest rate reductions and income tax cuts are boosting mid-income demand, which they expect to strengthen in the second half of this fiscal year.

Lodha Developers has already achieved over 90% of its FY26 business development guidance in the first quarter alone. They have added five projects in prime locations across MMR, Pune, and Bengaluru with a gross development value potential of Rs 22,700 crore.

Market Presence and Achievements

Lodha Developers is a prominent player in India's real estate sector with a strong presence in Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), Pune, and Bengaluru residential markets. The company has delivered 110 million square feet of real estate and is currently developing over 130 million square feet.

In the fiscal year 2024-25, Lodha Developers reported a net profit of Rs 2,766.6 crore on a total income of Rs 14,169.8 crore. This demonstrates their significant impact on the real estate market.

The company's strategic focus on quality homes and customer satisfaction continues to drive its growth and success in the competitive real estate industry.
