The transaction was executed on Friday afternoon by Rajesh Yadav, Managing Director of AB Corp Ltd.

The land parcel is located near HoABL’s 75-acre luxury land development project ‘The Sarayu’, situated along the banks of the Sarayu River in Ayodhya.

Third Investment in Ayodhya

This acquisition marks the third investment in Ayodhya by Amitabh Bachchan through HoABL, highlighting continued confidence in the city’s long-term real estate potential.

Bachchan was also the first citizen investor of HoABL’s project ‘The Sarayu’ when the development was launched in January 2024.

The latest purchase strengthens the actor’s association with the developer and reflects increasing interest among high-net-worth individuals in land investments linked to spiritual tourism hubs.

Ayodhya’s Real Estate Momentum

Ayodhya has witnessed a dramatic transformation over the past few years, driven by large-scale government infrastructure investments, improved connectivity, and urban redevelopment initiatives.

The city’s profile has significantly risen following the construction of the Ram Mandir, which has turned the historic town into one of India’s fastest-growing pilgrimage and tourism destinations.

According to government estimates, tourist footfall has surged sharply, rising from approximately 5.75 crore visitors annually before the temple construction to nearly 23 crore visitors between January and June 2025 alone. The number of visitors is projected to reach around 50 crore by the end of 2025.

This surge in tourism has also boosted investor interest in the city’s land market, with developers increasingly positioning Ayodhya as a spiritual-tourism-led real estate destination.

Land as a Long-Term Investment

Commenting on the development, Abhinandan Lodha, Chairman of The House of Abhinandan Lodha, said the investment reflects a shared belief in land as a long-term generational asset.

According to Lodha, Ayodhya represents a unique combination of faith, heritage, and long-term wealth creation, with land ownership increasingly being viewed as a legacy asset for families.

The developer believes that sustained infrastructure upgrades and public investment will continue to drive demand for land ownership in the city over the coming years.

Growing Celebrity Interest in HoABL Projects

The acquisition further highlights growing interest among celebrities and corporate leaders in HoABL’s plotted development projects.

Amitabh Bachchan had earlier invested in the developer’s ‘Sol de Alibaug’ project, purchasing a 10,000-square-foot plot in the coastal destination.

The project has also attracted investments from Bollywood actors Kriti Sanon and Kartik Aaryan.

According to the company, more than 65% of HoABL’s customers across its projects are CEOs and CXOs from leading BFSI, pharmaceutical, and multinational corporations, along with prominent Bollywood personalities and other celebrities.

With rising tourism, infrastructure development, and increasing private investment, Ayodhya is gradually positioning itself as one of India’s most significant emerging real estate markets linked to spiritual tourism and heritage development.

The campaign comprises six short films, each built around everyday concerns that typically discourage buyers from investing in land—ranging from unclear titles and legal complexities to fears of encroachment, lack of transparency, and high entry costs.

Tackling India’s Deep-Rooted Land Buying Concerns

Buying land in India has traditionally been viewed as a high-risk and cumbersome process, often associated with opaque ownership records, complex paperwork, uncertain locations, and prolonged legal procedures. HoABL’s “No Drama” campaign takes these pain points head-on, using light-hearted storytelling to simplify and demystify the experience.

Each film highlights a specific consumer anxiety and demonstrates how HoABL’s technology-led, end-to-end digital ecosystem addresses these issues. The narrative focuses on simplifying the buying journey, ensuring legal clarity, offering continuous project and ownership updates, and providing secure, well-planned developments with multiple ticket-size options.

By doing so, the campaign positions land not as a complicated asset, but as a stable, long-term investment that can be accessed with greater confidence and convenience.

Brand Objective: Democratizing Land Ownership

Commenting on the campaign, Saurabh Jain, Chief Marketing Officer, The House of Abhinandan Lodha, said the initiative reflects the brand’s ongoing effort to remove barriers that have historically limited land ownership to a select few.

He noted that concerns around trust, paperwork, security, and transparency have long discouraged potential buyers from considering land as a wealth-building asset. The “No Drama” campaign, he said, seeks to address these challenges in a culturally relatable manner, replacing anxiety-driven narratives with simplicity and clarity.

According to Jain, the use of humour and everyday situations allows the message to resonate across generations, reinforcing the idea that modern land buying no longer needs to be complicated or intimidating.

Celebrities Echo Shift in Buyer Mindset

Actor Boman Irani said the campaign reflects a much-needed shift in how land investment is perceived in India.

He highlighted that HoABL’s digital-first approach brings transparency to a category traditionally plagued by uncertainty, making land buying more accessible and drama-free. The blend of humour and clarity, he added, helps simplify a complex subject without diluting its seriousness.

Actor Aparshakti Khurana echoed similar sentiments, pointing to a noticeable change in how younger buyers approach investments.

He noted that today’s younger generation is thinking about long-term stability and generational wealth much earlier than before. According to Khurana, HoABL’s digital ecosystem aligns well with how younger investors prefer to make financial decisions—quickly, transparently, and with minimal friction.

Reinventing a Traditional Asset Class

With “No Drama,” HoABL seeks to reposition land from a high-risk, paperwork-heavy asset to a digitally enabled, transparent, and aspirational investment. The campaign underscores the growing role of branded land developments and technology in reshaping India’s real estate landscape, particularly as first-time and younger investors explore land as part of their wealth-creation journey.

The full campaign is available across HoABL’s digital platforms.

The veteran actor acquired the land, totaling an area of approximately 8,000 square feet, for a consolidated price of ₹6.59 crore. The transaction was executed with a project by The House of Abhinandan Lodha (HoABL), one of the prominent developers in the branded land sector.

The purchase was formally registered on October 7, 2025, at the Sub Registrar Office in Alibaug. The total consideration for the three separate ‘Agreement for Sale’ documents (Saṭhekhat) aggregated to ₹6,59,65,828. The parcels are located in the village of Munawali in Alibaug, forming part of the ‘A Alibaug Phase 2’ project.

This investment further solidifies Alibaug’s status as a luxury second-home destination favored by high-net-worth individuals and celebrities seeking premium coastal properties close to Mumbai.

The total stamp duty by Amitabh Bachchan for the three land transactions amounted to ₹39,58,500. This figure is the sum of the stamp duty paid on each of the three agreements: ₹16,74,000 for the 376 sq. meter plot, ₹11,52,500 for the 258 sq. meter plot, and ₹11,32,000 for the 254 sq. meter plot.

Launched in April 2023, Château de Alibaug has drawn interest from corporate executives, business owners, and high-profile individuals across industries. Designed by Talati & Partners, the project includes plotted developments and villa-style residences with amenities such as clubhouses, landscaped areas, and recreational spaces.

The purchase adds to the rising momentum in Alibaug’s property market, which has benefitted from major infrastructure upgrades. The Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL), the upcoming Navi Mumbai International Airport, and improved ferry and road connectivity have strengthened accessibility, pushing demand for premium second homes and branded land projects in the region.

Abhinandan Lodha, Chairman of HoABL, said that celebrity and corporate investments in Alibaug reflect the area’s shift from a leisure destination to a premium residential market. The company is also marketing 4-bedroom serviced villas in the project, priced from ₹4.99 crore, targeting buyers seeking long-term growth and luxury second homes.

With land values on the rise and branded players entering the market, Alibaug is positioning itself as one of the western coast’s most active emerging real estate destinations.

With 30 million sq. ft. under active development across locations like Alibaug, Ayodhya, Goa, and Nagpur, the company has also announced upcoming projects in Amritsar, Shimla, and Varanasi.

HoABL’s investor base now spans 6,000 customers across 27 countries and 107 cities, reflecting its growing credibility in branded land investments.

Key Takeaway

By joining forces with Zepto, HoABL is blending real estate with quick commerce, making land buying a digital, fast, and everyday experience. For aspiring investors, owning a plot in Vrindavan or beyond may soon be as simple as adding items to an online shopping cart.

The company says Miros is aimed at a new generation of travellers who are seeking personalized, immersive experiences over conventional hotel formats. The Goa hotel, which is currently operational, offers a limited inventory of rooms, including a Presidential Suite, and positions itself as a boutique luxury offering.

From Land Sales to Lifestyle: Strategic Diversification by HoABL

The launch marks an important pivot for HoABL, which has built a large presence in branded plotted land sales across India. By entering hospitality, HoABL becomes the latest among Indian real estate companies attempting to diversify into destination-led developments.

Speaking on the new vertical, Samujjwal Ghosh, CEO of HoABL, said:

“By integrating a luxury hospitality brand like Miros into our land developments, we are creating destinations that are not only owned but also experienced.”

The company has not disclosed capex figures for Miros or the number of properties under development, but said expansion plans are already underway in Alibaug, Matheran, and additional sites along the Konkan Coast.

Debut in Goa: Boutique Positioning, Vegetarian-Only Model

The first Miros hotel in Goa opened earlier this year in a relatively quiet stretch of Central Goa, designed to offer “hyper-personalized stays”. The hotel includes:

• Only-vegetarian fine dining (with vegan options)
• Wellness and spa facilities
• Indoor and outdoor recreation spaces
• Curated local experiences

The Goa property has received high ratings on OTAs such as Booking.com and MakeMyTrip, though reviews remain limited due to the property’s niche scale.

Sector Trend: Real Estate Developers Eye Experience-Based Assets

HoABL’s entry into hospitality follows a broader trend among Indian developers to add lifestyle infrastructure to real estate projects, particularly in high-yield leisure zones such as Goa, Alibaug, and Lonavala.

Developer-led Hospitality Moves (2022–2025)

The difference with Miros, according to Ranvir Bhandari, President of Miros Hotels, lies in its positioning:

“Guests today refuse to be confined by standardised formats. With Miros, we’re creating intimate sanctuaries where emotional connection is central to the experience.”

Bhandari brings over four decades of experience from brands like Oberoi Hotels, ITC, and Soneva, and is expected to oversee the rollout of the brand across at least five properties in the next two years.

Challenges Ahead: Scale, Differentiation, and Positioning

While HoABL’s entry signals confidence in India’s growing luxury leisure segment, industry analysts note potential challenges:

• Limited scale may restrict revenue visibility, unless Miros expands rapidly or integrates into large HoABL projects.
• The vegetarian-only model, while unique, may limit appeal to a wider tourist demographic.
• Execution of differentiated positioning will be key as consumer expectations evolve in a post-pandemic hospitality market.

Still, HoABL appears to be betting on emotion-driven, lifestyle hospitality as a long-term play that integrates with its existing land portfolio. More clarity is expected once its Maharashtra-based projects open to the public in 2026.

This marks Bachchan’s second major investment in Ayodhya following his earlier acquisition in 2024 at The Sarayu. The move cements Ayodhya’s transformation from a spiritual nucleus to a modern, high-value cultural and investment magnet.

 Ayodhya’s Rise as a Global Spiritual Capital

Once known primarily for its religious significance, Ayodhya is now undergoing an unprecedented metamorphosis. Fueled by infrastructure upgrades and the grand Ram Mandir project, the city is attracting global tourism, high-end hospitality brands, and elite investors.

Key Indicators of Ayodhya’s Growth:

• Visitors in 2024: Over 16 crore
• Projected annual footfall by 2030: 28 crore+
• Land value appreciation (2020–2025): 4.5X in premium zones
• Hotel tariffs (peak season): ₹8,500 – ₹55,000 per night
• Hotel investment yields: 12%–21% depending on property class
• Total redevelopment budget (Master Plan 2031): ₹85,000+ crore

 Who is Behind the Development?

The House of Abhinandan Lodha (HoABL), the company behind The Sarayu, is India’s largest branded land developer. Known for pioneering the New Generation Land model, HoABL has simplified land ownership through a fully digital platform. The company has delivered 15 million+ sq. ft. of land and has 30 million+ sq. ft. under development.

With a customer base spanning 25 countries and 107 Indian cities, HoABL is tapping into investor interest in emerging locations like Ayodhya, Goa, Alibaug, Nagpur, and Vrindavan, while also entering vertical development in Mumbai.

 Amitabh’s Investment: What It Signifies

Amitabh Bachchan’s Ayodhya land purchase is more than a celebrity endorsement — it’s a signal of trust in Ayodhya’s long-term value. His choice to invest in luxury plotted real estate reflects a broader shift among India’s elite towards culturally significant yet commercially rewarding destinations.

His investment validates Ayodhya’s potential as:

• A multi-day destination for wellness and heritage tourism
• A hotspot for second homes and luxury retreats
• A hub for global diaspora reconnecting with cultural roots

 Tourism & Hospitality Surge

Over 50 new hotel projects are underway, and premium hospitality brands like Taj, The Leela, and Oberoi are entering the market. Tariffs for top-tier villas have soared, with 5-star options charging as much as ₹55,000 per night during festivals.

With the average length of stay now at 2–4 days (up from less than 1 day a decade ago), Ayodhya is poised to offer ROIthat rivals or exceeds traditional metros.

 Big-Ticket Infrastructure in the Pipeline

Ayodhya is benefiting from massive state and central government investment, including:

• Expansion of Maharshi Valmiki International Airport
• High-speed rail connectivity
• New Ayodhya Township (1,407 acres)
• Wellness resorts under AYUSH guidelines

These projects are set to transform the spiritual city into a global heritage and wellness destination.

 Conclusion: Ayodhya, From Pilgrimage to Portfolio

From the grand halls of Bollywood to the banks of the Sarayu, Amitabh Bachchan’s investment is symbolic of Ayodhya’s new identity. The city is no longer just a sacred place for worship—it’s a real estate frontier, a tourism magnet, and a blue-chip investment zone.

With demand surging and infrastructure accelerating, Ayodhya today stands as India’s most compelling real estate and cultural story — and now, it has Big B’s stamp of confidence.

The family issued a joint statement confirming that the resolution was reached amicably under the guidance of their parents and with the assistance of Justice R.V. Raveendran (Retd.), who played a pivotal role in mediating the process.

Key Agreements Finalized:

• MDL (Lodha Group) retains exclusive ownership and usage rights of the brand names ‘Lodha’ and ‘Lodha Group’.
• Abhinandan Lodha will retain exclusive rights to the brand ‘House of Abhinandan Lodha’ (HoABL).
• Both entities are independent and unconnected, and they will actively communicate this fact to the public.
• There are no mutual claims between the brothers in each other’s businesses.

The brothers also expressed deep appreciation for Justice Arif Doctor, who motivated them to embrace mediation, and thanked family elders and well-wishers for their consistent support during the process.

What Was the Dispute Between the Lodha Brothers?

For the past couple of years, there had been growing speculation about internal conflicts within the Lodha family, especially over brand identity and overlapping perception in the real estate market.

This formal resolution not only settles personal and professional boundaries but also brings clarity to the market, allowing both Lodha Group and HoABL to function independently under their respective leaderships.

Allegations of Forgery and Fraud

According to Macrotech Developers, HoABL orchestrated a scheme to deceive customers by falsely presenting itself as part of the Lodha Group, India’s leading real estate company. The alleged fraud involved forging a board resolution and a PAN card belonging to Ashwani Kumar, an independent director of Macrotech Developers and the former Chairman and Managing Director (CMD) of Dena Bank.

The alleged forged resolution, dated July 24, 2022, purportedly allowed the creation of four new companies using the Lodha name:

1. Lodha Landbuild Infrastructure Pvt Ltd
2. Lodha Bhoomi Nirman Pvt Ltd
3. Lodha Land Design Infra Pvt Ltd
4. Lodha Pictorials Landinfra Pvt Ltd

Macrotech Developers asserts that no such board meeting took place on the claimed date and that the resolution is entirely fabricated, including the letterhead, company stamp, and the director’s signature. Additionally, the PAN card presented as belonging to Ashwani Kumar allegedly contained a different photograph and signature, raising questions about identity theft and impersonation.

The Alleged Scheme

Macrotech claims that the scheme began in 2022 when Varpan Land Developers Pvt Ltd, a lesser-known company under HoABL, allegedly passed a board resolution on July 12, 2022, to change its name to Lodha Landbuild Infrastructure Pvt Ltd or Lodha Bhoomi Nirman Pvt Ltd. Shortly afterward, the alleged forged resolution was used to seek name changes and register new entities under the Lodha brand.

Within weeks, on August 4, 2022, the Registrar of Companies (RoC) in Manesar, Haryana, approved the name change request, allowing HoABL to use the Lodha name. Subsequently, HoABL began marketing one of its projects in Goa under the Lodha Landbuild Infrastructure name. According to Macrotech, the project was sold under the Lodha name between September 2022 and April 2023.

Once the project sales progressed, HoABL allegedly changed the name of the company to “HOABL Landbuild Infrastructure Pvt Ltd” in April 2023, in an attempt to cover its tracks and distance itself from the Lodha brand.

Macrotech Developers’ Response

In its statement, Macrotech Developers expressed shock at the scale of the alleged conspiracy and the misuse of government systems. The company stated:

“It is a clear-cut case of forgery, fraud, and impersonation with intent to cheat and deceive. The concerned entities and individuals have created a completely fake resolution of Macrotech Developers Ltd (‘Lodha’) including a false letterhead, false company stamp, false board meeting date, and content which we have never approved, with a false sign of our Independent Director which is nowhere close to his actual signature.”

Macrotech has stated that it is exploring legal action against HoABL and has submitted a detailed report to the stock exchanges.

Legal Implications and Next Steps

If proven true, these allegations could have significant legal repercussions, including charges of forgery, fraud, impersonation, and criminal conspiracy. The use of forged documents to mislead customers and government authorities could result in serious penalties.

As of now, HoABL has not publicly responded to the allegations. Further investigations are likely to follow as Macrotech pursues legal remedies to address the alleged forgery and identity theft.
