Lodha Developers Limited plans to develop 1 GW of data center capacity on a built-to-suit basis over nearly 100 acres within this park. This initiative is expected to generate strong rental income in the future. Additionally, the value of the company’s large landholding of over 4,000 acres in Palava is likely to rise, supported by this project and improved connectivity to Mumbai.
Business Highlights (FY26)
In FY26, Lodha Developers Limited added 12 new projects across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, Pune, Bengaluru, and NCR.

As of April 1, 2026, the company has projects worth around Rs. 2,00,000 crore available for sale. This robust pipeline allows the company to reduce spending on new land and projects over the next two years, which will help improve its cash flow and financial stability.
