Background:
A family dispute within one of India’s leading real estate dynasties has come to light amid allegations of unauthorized use of the “Lodha” brand name. The Lodha brand, established in the 1980s and secured as a registered trademark by 2010, symbolizes decades of legacy and stands as one of India’s most prominent real estate companies. However, Abhishek Lodha, CEO of Macrotech Developers Ltd (popularly known as Lodha Group), contends that his younger brother Abhinandan Lodha’s venture, House of Abhinandan Lodha (HoABL), has been misusing the “Lodha” and “Lodha Group” names in its marketing campaigns. This controversy traces back to the family settlement between 2015 and 2017, when Abhinandan exited the core operations with a ₹1,000 crore payout, while Abhishek and the parents inherited a significant debt of ₹20,000 crore. Since Abhinandan launched HoABL in 2021, allegations have surfaced that his company has leveraged the prestigious Lodha brand to mislead customers into believing there is an association with Macrotech Developers. Despite repeated objections from the Trademark Registry and attempts to resolve the issue amicably, the alleged unauthorized use continued from 2021 to 2025, leading to significant market confusion and raising critical legal and ethical concerns over trademark infringement and brand integrity.
