The House of Abhinandan Lodha did not arrive in Anjarle and Dapoli as an afterthought to a national rollout. The company was founded in 2020 by Abhinandan Lodha and initially concentrated its land developments in the Konkan region of Maharashtra before expanding elsewhere. That sequencing matters for how the brand is read locally: Ratnagiri's coastline, including the Anjarle-Dapoli stretch, is where HoABL's plotted-land model was first tested and proven, well before the company carried it to Goa, Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab and the National Capital Region.
Abhinandan Lodha is the younger son of Mangal Prabhat Lodha, founder of the Mumbai-based Lodha Group, while his elder brother Abhishek Lodha runs the separately listed Macrotech Developers. HoABL was set up as its own entity, built specifically around plotted land rather than apartments, and it has stayed narrowly focused on that model even as it has scaled. By 2024 the company had launched plotted developments covering close to 1,000 acres across ten cities in Maharashtra, Goa and Uttar Pradesh, and it has since committed roughly Rs 3,000 crore to acquire more than 352 acres across Amritsar, Vrindavan, Varanasi, Shimla, Nagpur and Khopoli, backed by an overall capital expenditure plan of Rs 11,000 crore announced in January 2023. As of 2024 the company reported operations across 16 locations spanning Goa, Himachal Pradesh, Maharashtra, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh.
The company has more recently begun layering hospitality onto its land bank: it launched Miros Hotels & Resorts with a debut property in Goa, with plans to expand into Alibaug, Matheran and other coastal addresses, a direction that is consistent with the way it has treated the Konkan coast, including Dapoli, as a base for both plotted land and lifestyle-linked assets rather than a one-off market.
Anjarle and Dapoli together form one of the denser clusters of HoABL activity on the Ratnagiri coast, with several named developments rather than a single project defining the brand's presence here.
Across these developments, the consistent thread is plotted NA land rather than built apartments or villas handed over ready-made — buyers acquire land with layout approvals and infrastructure, then build to their own plan or hold it as an asset, which is the operating model HoABL has applied consistently since its Konkan debut.
The locality argument HoABL makes for Anjarle and Dapoli rests on a specific set of physical and infrastructure facts rather than generic coastal appeal. Dapoli sits at roughly 800 feet above sea level at the point where the Western Ghats meet the Arabian Sea, giving it a hill-station climate uncommon on the Konkan coast, while developments here sit close to the Western Ghats, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage region. Dapoli's known beaches include Murud, Karde and Ladghar, and Anjarle adds its own draw through nine white-sand beaches and the locally significant Anjarle turtle-nesting season, which brings a recurring wildlife-tourism audience to the coastline each year.
Connectivity is the piece most cited in HoABL's own project material for this belt. The Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation's planned Konkan Expressway is a proposed 450-kilometre, six-lane highway expected to cut Mumbai-Ratnagiri travel time from six-to-seven hours to around three hours. Alongside this, the stretch is already served by NH-66, coastal roads, Vande Bharat rail connectivity and ferry routes, with Navi Mumbai International Airport now operational to shorten the effective distance from Mumbai and Pune further. Present-day travel remains a roughly 215 to 230 kilometre, four-hour drive from Pune and Mumbai, which is the range within which HoABL frames Anjarle-Dapoli as a weekend and second-home market for those two metro catchments, alongside the Mumbai-Goa Highway providing east-west connectivity to the region.
Beyond the beaches, the area carries an established layer of heritage and everyday social infrastructure that supports occupancy rather than pure land speculation. Dapoli's older temples, including Keshavraj, Vyaghreshwar and Durga Devi, point to a settled local economy predating the recent second-home wave, and the town's regional reputation as a tourist base means hospitality, food and local services already exist independent of any single developer's plans. Multiple developers besides HoABL have also started scouting the Dapoli locality, which is read locally as a sign of the area's growing standing rather than a single-brand bet.
For a prospective buyer, the practical decision points center on plot type, use case and documentation rather than construction quality, since HoABL sells land rather than built product in this belt. Plot sizes across the tracked developments here range from compact rowhouse-format parcels to larger sea-facing estates, aimed respectively at first-time land buyers and those planning a standalone second home. Buyers considering NA plots in the Konkan region, including Dapoli, Anjarle, Guhagar and nearby belts, are advised to verify the NA order, layout approval, title, access and registration papers before purchasing, and where a project sits near the coast, to check CRZ-related access, approved land usage, documentation and connectivity before committing. Given HoABL's broader claim of legal due diligence and RERA registration across its projects, with more than 6,000 investors drawn from 27 countries, the Anjarle-Dapoli cluster is positioned within that same digital-first, document-led buying process rather than a conventional on-ground land sale.
