The Lodha Group, founded by Purshotam Lal Lodha in 1984, has been a cornerstone of the MMR real estate sector for decades. Over the years, the company has grown to become one of the largest real estate developers in India, with a significant presence in luxury and premium residential projects. However, the family-owned empire has faced its share of internal conflicts, leading to the split into two separate entities.
Macrotech Developers, led by Mukesh and Anil Lodha, has maintained its position as a dominant player in the MMR. The company's focus on high-end and luxury real estate projects has earned it a reputation for quality and innovation. Macrotech's projects, such as the Palava City in Pune and the Lodha Bellissimo in Mumbai, are prime examples of the company's commitment to creating world-class living spaces.
On the other hand, Shreepati Ventures, led by Ashish Lodha, has been quietly building its portfolio in the MMR and beyond. While not as well-known as Macrotech, Shreepati has been making significant inroads in the mid-segment and affordable housing markets. The company's strategies involve targeting first-time homebuyers and young professionals, a segment that is growing rapidly in Mumbai.
The competition between the two Lodha firms is not just about market share; it is also a battle for the legacy and reputation of the Lodha brand. Both companies have their unique strengths and strategies, but the market is increasingly competitive, with other major players like Oberoi Realty and Prestige Estates entering the fray.
Mukesh Lodha, the chairman of Macrotech, emphasizes the company's commitment to sustainable and smart city development.
