The House of Abhinandan Lodha in Raigad: From Konkan Roots to Dighi Port

The House of Abhinandan Lodha (HoABL) is not a new name in Raigad. Founded in 2020 by Abhinandan Lodha, the company's first plotted developments were in the Konkan region of Maharashtra—which means Raigad is, in a meaningful sense, where this developer cut its teeth. Projects at Alibaug, Dapoli, and Anjarle across the district gave HoABL an early working knowledge of Konkan land law, coastal infrastructure timelines, and the buyer profile that gravitates toward this coastline. That accumulated footprint now shapes how the firm is approaching its latest Raigad commitment: a 100-acre gated plot community at Dighi.

The company today develops and manages land projects across Maharashtra—Alibaug, Anjarle, Dapoli, Khopoli, Nagpur, and Neral—as well as in Uttar Pradesh, Goa, Punjab, and Himachal Pradesh. According to company reports, HoABL has a portfolio of over 1,000 acres of plotted developments, with 13 million square feet of land sold. Between 2022 and 2023, the firm expanded into Goa and North India, acquiring 51 acres in Ayodhya, and in January 2023 announced a capital expenditure plan of ₹11,000 crore to be deployed over a four-year period. The Dighi project sits inside that expansion arc, but it also represents a return to the coastal Maharashtra corridor where the brand first established its credibility.

Why Dighi, and Why Now

Dighi Port is a seaport on the eastern coast of the Arabian Sea, 42 nautical miles from the Mumbai port. The port is operated by Adani Ports and SEZ. What changed the calculus for land investment in this pocket of Raigad was a sequence of policy decisions that moved the port from marginal to strategically significant. In October 2025, the state government signed a memorandum of understanding with Adani for an investment worth ₹42,500 crore to expand Dighi Port, signalling the port's upgrade from a regional facility to a major multi-modal node.

The port expansion is only one layer. The Union Cabinet approved the establishment of the Dighi Port Industrial Area (DPIA) as an industrial smart city in Raigad district; spanning 6,056 acres, the project involves an investment of ₹5,469 crore and is anticipated to attract investments worth ₹38,000 crore while creating approximately 109,185 jobs. Development will focus on sectors such as engineering, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, textiles, and food and beverages.

The infrastructure layer extends to road and rail. The DPIA project ensures seamless connectivity through NH-66 (Mumbai–Goa Highway), NH753F (Mangaon–Pune Highway), and major state highway 05. Rail links connect to Kolad, Indapur, and Mangaon, with access to Mumbai Airport, Pune Airport, and the upcoming Navi Mumbai International Airport further enhancing accessibility. For a buyer weighing a Raigad coastal plot, this matters: the region is not simply a leisure destination but an emerging node in a national industrial corridor.

HoABL Plots Dighi: What the Project Delivers

The HoABL Dighi project is positioned as a 100-acre development, strategically positioned to capture the economic upswing of the maritime corridor. The layout features wide internal roads and clear demarcations, masterfully partitioned for maximum privacy. Select parcels showcase west-facing sunset views, while east-facing plots are oriented for sunrise.

Plot configurations span three broad bands:

  • Boutique plots at 1,250 sq ft, suited to high-yield rental villas or compact vacation homes.
  • Premium estates from 1,500 to 1,800 sq ft, the most popular choice for families planning multi-generational coastal retreats.
  • Grandeur parcels at 2,000 sq ft and above, for owners who want space for sprawling gardens and private wellness pavilions.

Prices start from ₹60 lakhs for the 1,250 sq ft entry configuration. Every parcel comes with a clear title, digital ownership records, and sits within a fully fenced gated community.

The on-ground infrastructure follows the HoABL template applied across earlier Raigad projects. The community is being built with smart security systems, landscaped gardens, clubhouses, and wellness centers. App-enabled security and surveillance, concierge services, maintenance, and rental management are built into the ownership model. The project is currently under construction, with land levelling and infrastructure development progressing for the possession timeline.

HoABL's Wider Konkan Record: Context for a Dighi Buyer

Buyers evaluating HoABL Dighi plots will reasonably want to understand what earlier Raigad projects produced. The Dighi project is crafted by the same brand that brought landmark developments at Dapoli and Anjarle. At the Alibaug project—the developer's flagship Raigad address—HoABL partnered with Talati and Partners, Mumbai's architectural firm. A joint venture with HDFC Capital Advisors, investing ₹1,500 crore in plotted and low-rise developments, was formed in 2023. These partnerships reflect an organisation that has moved beyond informal land aggregation into structured institutional co-development.

Beyond horizontal plotted developments, HoABL has recently made a strategic foray into Mumbai's vertical real estate market with an ambitious ₹2,500 crore investment plan. For a Dighi buyer, the relevance is straightforward: the developer has the balance sheet and institutional backing to see long-gestation coastal projects through to delivery.

The Buyer's Calculus: Raigad Land in 2025–26

The Raigad region is witnessing a significant infrastructure overhaul in 2026. The Dighi corridor specifically sits at the intersection of port-led industrial demand and coastal lifestyle demand—two drivers that historically do not coincide this closely in the same micro-market. The project benefits from seamless connectivity to Dighi Port, NH-66, and upcoming coastal road infrastructure, ensuring smooth movement between Mumbai, Pune, Raigad, and Konkan.

NH-66 makes Dighi accessible from Mumbai, Pune, Alibaug, and Goa. The site also offers access to the Konkan Railway, which enhances multimodal connectivity to the Dedicated Freight Corridor and Jawaharlal Nehru Port. For buyers using the plot as a co-primary residence or a managed rental asset, the multi-directional connectivity removes one of the traditional objections to deep-Konkan land ownership.

HoABL's digital-first sales approach has attracted a buyer base where over 50% are young professionals in their 30s. The entry ticket at Dighi—₹60 lakhs for a 1,250 sq ft plot—is calibrated to that cohort: enough skin in the game to function as a meaningful asset, structured so that the initial outlay does not crowd out other investments. Every plot undergoes multi-level legal due diligence, verified approvals, and complete documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Raigad emerging as a compelling real estate investment destination in 2025 and beyond?+
Raigad sits at the confluence of several large-scale government-backed initiatives that are reshaping its urban footprint. The Maharashtra government's Third Mumbai project, rebranded as Karnala-Sai-Chirner (KSC) New Town, spans 323 sq km across 124 villages in Raigad district and has MMRDA appointed as the planning authority, signalling a significant upgrade in institutional oversight. The Navi Mumbai International Airport commenced commercial operations in December 2025, and the Navi Mumbai Airport Influence Notified Area (NAINA) proposes a 500 sq km planned city within the district, with CIDCO as the designated planning authority. Together, these projects place Raigad at the centre of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region's eastward and southward expansion.
Which are the major residential localities to consider when buying property in Raigad?+
Raigad district offers a range of micro-markets suited to different buyer profiles. Panvel is the most urbanised node, functioning as the gateway junction of the MMR with active new-launch apartment inventory. Khopoli, set against the Sahyadri foothills, draws buyers seeking plotted developments and nature-backed living. Alibaug, the district headquarters, is the preferred coastal address for second homes and villas along the Arabian Sea. Karjat serves buyers looking for hillside plotted developments with direct suburban rail access to Navi Mumbai. Roha, served by the Konkan Railway and NH-66, is an emerging mid-market residential hub further south in the district.
How does Raigad's connectivity infrastructure support daily commutes and long-distance travel?+
Atal Setu (the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link), inaugurated in January 2024, is a 21.8 km, six-lane sea bridge connecting Sewri in South Mumbai to Chirle near Nhava Sheva, cutting the Mumbai-to-Navi Mumbai journey from roughly two hours to around 20 minutes. Panvel Junction connects the district to Mumbai via both the Central Railway Harbour Line and Main Line, and to Thane via the Trans-Harbour Line. NH-66, originating at Panvel, traverses the full length of the district, while the Mumbai-Pune Expressway passes through the district's northern edge. The Konkan Railway line, starting at Roha, links the southern talukas of Raigad to the broader national rail network.
What do current property prices in Raigad look like across its key localities?+
Pricing varies sharply by locality and product type across Raigad. In Alibaug, apartment rates currently range from approximately Rs 4,800 to Rs 6,850 per sq ft, while land plots in the same area are priced between Rs 900 and Rs 2,300 per sq ft. Premium coastal NA plots in Alibaug command Rs 15,000 to Rs 25,000 per sq ft at the top end of the market. In Karjat, gated NA plots are priced in the range of Rs 5,500 to Rs 7,500 per sq ft, offering buyers a more accessible entry point with proximity to Navi Mumbai via suburban rail.
What is the livability and lifestyle profile of Raigad for end-users and families?+
Raigad district spans from the Arabian Sea coast in the west to the Western Ghats and Sahyadri ranges in the east, offering a range of natural settings within a single administrative boundary. The coastline includes beaches at Alibaug, Kashid, and Murud, while Matheran — accessible via the heritage narrow-gauge Matheran Hill Railway from Neral — provides a hill-station retreat. Historically, the district was the capital of the Maratha Empire under Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, and landmarks including Raigad Fort and the Murud-Janjira sea fort remain active cultural draws. Healthcare facilities have expanded alongside population growth, and Dighi Port Industrial Area, part of the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor, is drawing engineering, food processing, and pharmaceutical employers to the region.
How is the Third Mumbai or KSC New Town project expected to shape real estate in Raigad?+
The Maharashtra government has appointed MMRDA as the New Town Development Authority for the Karnala-Sai-Chirner (KSC) New Town, which covers key areas within Navi Mumbai and Raigad district, including the Karnala Bird Sanctuary, Sai, and Chirner regions. The development framework integrates Smart City features and is anchored by the Navi Mumbai International Airport, which went live for commercial operations in December 2025. The plan encompasses residential, commercial, and mixed-use development alongside supporting transport networks and social infrastructure, and is designed in part to relieve development pressure on the main Mumbai island city.
What industrial and economic drivers support long-term property demand in Raigad?+
Raigad's economic base extends beyond residential real estate into port logistics, manufacturing, and emerging tech-industrial zones. Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT), located within the district, is India's largest container port, generating sustained employment and commercial demand in adjacent areas. The Dighi Port Industrial Area is part of the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC), a planned hi-tech industrial zone spanning seven states along the 1,500 km Western Dedicated Freight Corridor. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has established the National Institute of Securities Markets at Patalganga in Khalapur taluka, adding an institutional presence to the district's profile.
