HoABL enters vertical realty business, to invest Rs 2,500 crore

Indian Express23-04-2025

The House of Abhinandan Lodha (HoABL), a leading land developer, has officially announced its strategic entry into the vertical real estate sector with an investment of Rs 2,500 crore.
'Marking this foray are three marquee projects located across the length of Mumbai —American Culture Centre in Marine Lines, a project overlooking Chowpatty beach and a joint development agreement (JDA) with Mittal Builders in Naigaon,' the company said in a statement.
'With a collective development potential of 3.1 million sq ft, the company expects to generate revenue of Rs 3,500 crore, with a total investment of Rs 2,500 crore. All three projects are expected to be launched from Q2 of FY 2025–26 and would be completed over the next five years,' it added.
The funding would be through mix of internal accruals and debt for working capital and pre- sales, said Abhinandan Lodha, Chairman of HoABL.
'With our big bang foray into vertical development — from South Mumbai to North MMR — we aim to address gaps in vertical real estate through multiple projects,' he said.
Acquired in December 2024, the American culture centre project has a development potential of approximately 60,000 sq ft and is being developed as a commercial property.
The Chowpatty (South Mumbai) project, which has a development potential of around 50,000 sq ft, will be a premier residential project.

Govt plan to set up ‘digital hundi' for Puri temple devotees

Bhubaneswar: To provide devotees with a convenient way to make offerings to the Jagannath Temple in Puri, the Odisha govt is set to modernize the donation process with the introduction of a 'digital hundi' system, a new online donation platform. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "We intend to simplify the online donation system of the shrine and introduce digital hundi, which may be named Samarpan. This platform will ensure transparency and make it easier for devotees to contribute from anywhere in the world," a senior govt official told TOI. The electronics and information technology department, along with the law department, has been tasked with finalising the technical and legal framework for the system. "The digital platform will incorporate all necessary security features while maintaining the sanctity of the donation process. We expect this initiative to significantly increase the temple's donations and provide better accountability," the official added. The Jagannath Temple received a total of Rs 113.02 crore as donation in the last three financial years. In a written reply in the assembly on Dec 7, 2024, law minister Prithiviraj Harichandan said between 2021-22 and 2023-24, the temple received Rs 40.61 crore in donation boxes, Rs 59.79 crore through bank deposits and another Rs 12.60 crore through other sources. The highest donation of Rs 50.80 crore was received in 2022-23, Rs 44.90 crore in 2023-24 and Rs 17.31 crore in 2021-22. In 2023, the Shree Jagannath Temple Administration (SJTA) partnered with a UPI service provider for online donation. The app included the temple among other religious sites for donations through its payment gateway. "Initial plans to install QR code scanners at various locations like hotels, railway stations and offices were dropped due to cybersecurity concerns and potential scanner tampering risks," a temple official said. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The temple administration recently warned devotees about fraudsters offering online puja, donation and darshan services for US$ 60-80. The temple authorities also filed a police complaint at Singhadwar station regarding one of the websites.

Russia buys Trump claim he brokered India-Pak truce

NEW DELHI: Russia appeared to be buying into US President Donald Trump's claim that he mediated the "ceasefire" in the India-Pakistan military conflict that followed India's Operation Sindoor strikes on terrorist camps in Pakistan. A ccording to President Vladimir Putin's aide Yury Ushakov, the issue figured in the "highly productive and positive" talks that Putin had with Trump on Wednesday. In his account of the conversation, Ushakov said other than Ukraine, a number of other international issues were raised "as well as the armed conflict between India and Pakistan, which has been halted with the personal involvement of President Trump". Putin strongly condemned the Pahalgam attack and also backed India's efforts to bring perpetrators to justice. However, Ushakov's remark about Trump's role is unlikely to go down well with Indian authorities who have repeatedly denied that the US or any other country brought the conflict to an end. India also rejected Trump's offer of mediation on the Kashmir issue, saying it will always engage bilaterally with Pakistan. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo External affairs minister S Jaishankar had said earlier that while American leaders were in touch with India and Pakistan, the pause in fighting was directly negotiated by the Indian and Pakistani armies, after Pakistan reached out to India for a dialogue. US secretary of commerce Howard Lutnick had later said on oath in a US court that Trump had used trade to avert a full-scale war between the "nuclear armed" countries. Putin is likely to visit India later this year for the annual India-Russia summit. Before that, as reported by TOI on May 26, foreign minister Sergey Lavrov will travel to India later this month to finalise agenda for the summit.

Vizag's floating restaurant project hits roadblock over CRZ clearance

Visakhapatnam: The much-hyped tourism project, which aims to convert an abandoned cargo ship into a floating restaurant under public private partnership (PPP) mode near Tenneti Park in Vizag city, remains stalled as the required CRZ (coastal regulation zone) clearance has not yet been granted. The Bangladesh cargo vessel MV Maa has been stranded at Tenneti Park beach in Vizag city since October 13, 2020. Following the incident, the vessel's owner did not reclaim the ship, citing elevated salvage costs, leaving the vessel abandoned on the shore. Vizag-based firm Gill Marines purchased the abandoned ship from the insurers PNI Club (North of England) at a cost of Rs 1.25 crore. Then tourism minister M Srinivasa Rao, in Dec 2021, declared that the abandoned vessel would be developed into a key tourism attraction in Vizag city, with the target date for completion set as July 2022. In March 2023, the Andhra Pradesh govt formalised an agreement with Shore and Ship Resort Pvt Ltd (SSRPL), represented by Surender Singh Gill, managing director of SSRPL, during the global investors' summit in Vizag for the development of the project. According to the MoU, SSRPL will set up a shore and ship resort, collaborating to facilitate investment in Andhra Pradesh and stimulate economic development. SSRPL intends to invest around Rs 30 crore in the project, which is projected to create jobs to around 200 individuals. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Surender Singh Gill, managing director of SSRPL, told TOI that apart from obtaining a few permissions, progress has been minimal. Speaking about the ongoing expenditure to protect the vessel from corrosion, he expressed hope that the project may soon receive CRZ clearance, particularly as officials from the Andhra Pradesh tourism department could accelerate the process and help move the project forward. The floating restaurant project near Tenneti Park in Vizag must still obtain CRZ clearance before any further work can proceed. GVB Jagadeesh, regional director of AP tourism development corporation, stated that a central team is expected to visit Vizag city to assess the proposed floating restaurant project in the coming days.
