The company noted that March witnessed select deferral of sales due to the Iran war, leading to pre-sales being ₹4.7bn below guidance for the full year.
Strong Collections Growth
Collections performance showed remarkable improvement, reaching ₹52.3bn for Q4FY26, representing an 18% year-on-year increase from ₹44.4bn in Q4FY25. The quarter-on-quarter growth was particularly impressive at 47%, significantly picking up from the previous quarter's ₹35.6bn as construction activity ramped up. Annual collections for FY26 totaled ₹151.6bn, marking a 5% year-on-year growth from ₹144.9bn in FY25.
Aggressive Business Development Expansion
Lodha Developers significantly expanded its project portfolio during FY26, adding twelve projects across key markets including MMR, Pune, Bengaluru and NCR with a combined Gross Development Value (GDV) of approximately ₹600bn. This represents 2.4 times the company's annual guidance, demonstrating aggressive expansion strategy.
Business Development Highlights: Details Q4FY26 Project Addition: 1 project in MMR Q4FY26 GDV Addition: ₹13bn FY26 Total Projects Added: 12 projects FY26 Total GDV Addition: ~₹600bn Current Available GDV: ~₹2 trillion
As of April 1, 2026, the company has GDV amounting to approximately ₹2 trillion available for sale, excluding land bank in townships which will not be used in the next 5 years. Consequently, the company expects to reduce business development investments over the next 24 months and increase free cash flow.
Improved Financial Position
The company's financial health showed marked improvement with net debt reducing by ₹8.0bn to ₹53.7bn during the quarter, driven by strong collections performance. Despite significant investment in business development during FY26, the Net debt/Equity ratio stands at a conservative 0.23x, well below the company's established ceiling of 0.5x Net debt/Equity, providing substantial financial flexibility for future operations.
