Macrotech Developers Ltd, the company behind the Lodha brand, has reduced its net debt by 7% to INR 3,990 crore in the January-March quarter of FY25, supported by record-breaking home sales and steady cash inflows from customers. This marks a decline from over INR 4,300 crore reported at the end of the December quarter. Advertisement
Despite heavy investment in acquiring new land parcels across Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), Pune, and Bengaluru, the company maintained strong internal cash flow, thanks to a combination of high-value pre-sales and robust collection efficiency.
During FY25, Macrotech reported INR 17,630 crore in sales bookings, reflecting a 21% annual growth from INR 14,520 crore in the previous fiscal. Customer collections jumped by 29%, hitting INR 14,490 crore versus INR 11,260 crore in FY24. The surge not only bolstered debt repayment but also allowed the company to expand its development pipeline substantially.
The firm added 10 new land parcels during the year across its key markets, with these projects collectively expected to generate INR 23,700 crore in gross development value (GDV). These new projects will continue to strengthen the company's hold in high-demand urban clusters, where housing demand remains resilient.
Beyond residential projects, Macrotech is expanding its portfolio in industrial, logistics, office, and retail segments, responding to demand for Grade A commercial infrastructure in metro regions.
In another notable development, the company has also resolved its brand dispute with House of Abhinandan Lodha (HoABL)-a firm led by Abhishek Lodha's younger brother, Abhinandan Lodha. The legal tussle began in January 2025, when Macrotech filed a trademark infringement suit in the Bombay High Court.
As per the agreement, both companies will now operate independently under separate brand identities-Macrotech will continue using the 'Lodha' name, while HoABL will function under its own label. Both entities have clarified they are unrelated in business, and neither Abhishek nor Abhinandan Lodha holds any stake or claim in the other's ventures.
This strategic clarity on branding, combined with a robust financial position and new project pipeline, reinforces Macrotech's positioning as one of the most active players in India's real estate growth story.
