The House of Abhinandan Lodha (HoABL) is a Mumbai-headquartered land-development company founded in 2020 by Abhinandan Lodha. Founded in 2020 by Abhinandan Lodha, the company develops residential plotted land projects. Its model is deliberately narrow: acquire large parcels in locations it believes are on the cusp of a demand curve, and sell fully serviced plots rather than built units. As of 2024, it reported operations across 16 locations in India, including Goa, Himachal Pradesh, Maharashtra, Punjab, and Uttar Pradesh. The company backed that expansion with capital: in January 2023 it announced a capital expenditure plan of ₹11,000 crore over a four-year period, funding acquisitions well beyond its original Konkan base. It initially focused on land developments in the Konkan region of Maharashtra. Between 2022 and 2023, the firm expanded its land holdings into Goa and North India, acquiring 51 acres in Ayodhya. In January 2023, the company announced a capital expenditure plan of ₹11,000 crore to be deployed over a four-year period.
Uttar Pradesh has been central to that expansion, not incidental to it. HoABL's Ayodhya land parcel became the template for a religious- and heritage-tourism thesis that the company has since tried to replicate along the Sarayu, Ganga and other pilgrimage-adjacent corridors. The company has since carried the same plotted-development format into Lucknow itself, with an under-construction project in Sadar Bazaar registered with UP-RERA. Brought to you by The House of Abhinandan Lodha, Hoabl The Sarayu is scheduled for possession in May, 2027. The RERA registration number of this project is UPRERAPRJ311468. Industry coverage from late 2024 noted the company's next horizon explicitly: the company is also looking to expand its presence in other cities such as Lucknow, Kanpur, and Noida in the future. That is the context in which Gomti Nagar Extension, and the Ekana micro-market within it, becomes relevant to a HoABL-style thesis, even where a specific parcel there has not yet been publicly announced: it is precisely the kind of corridor the company has targeted elsewhere, defined by a state capital's outward growth axis, new physical infrastructure, and land values still catching up to the surrounding city.
Gomti Nagar Extension sits on Shaheed Path, Lucknow's arterial expressway linking the airport, the railway network and the old city core. Located on Shaheed Path, Gomti Nagar Extension has an easy access to the airport, railways station and the heart of the city. This strategic position renders it very appealing to business as well as the end-user. It is also structured differently from Lucknow's older neighbourhoods. Being one of Lucknow's largest planned townships, Gomti Nagar Extension boasts wide roads, zoning for commercial and residential spaces, and large-scale integrated developments. That planned character, wide rights-of-way, defined land-use zones, room for phased build-out, is the same set of conditions HoABL has sought in Ayodhya, Varanasi and its Maharashtra coastal parcels before committing capital: land where infrastructure precedes density rather than following it.
The Ekana precinct within Gomti Nagar Extension is anchored by the Ekana Sportz City complex, home to the cricket stadium, Ekana Mall and the Omaxe Hazratganj retail high street, all of which have drawn footfall and commercial interest to what was, within the last decade, undeveloped land on the city's edge. For investors who are looking for high ROI office space in Lucknow, Ekana Mall provides a safe yet rewarding entry into commercial real estate. If Ekana Mall is about scale and managed retail, Omaxe Hazratganj is about heritage meets modernity. Inspired by the legendary Hazratganj shopping district, this project recreates that charm in Gomti Nagar Extension, with a modern high-street twist. The locality also has a dedicated stop on the suburban rail network. Dedicated railway station on the Barabanki-Lucknow Suburban Railway Line serves the locality. The nearest metro connection is Charbagh, and Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport lies roughly 22 km away, keeping the corridor within a workable commute of Lucknow's main transit hub. Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport is located at a distance of 22 km from Gomti Nagar Extension.
Gomti Nagar Extension has not waited for rooftops to arrive before civic and institutional infrastructure followed. Located in proximity to Gomti Nagar, which is emerging as the biggest commercial hub in Lucknow, government offices, such as Passport Office, High Court & Institute of Cost & Works Accountants of India sit within the wider precinct. Schooling and healthcare options nearby include City Montessori School, GD Goenka, and Seth Anandram Jaipuria on the education side, with Medanta and Max Super Speciality Hospital among the medical facilities within a short drive. Nearby reputed schools like GD Goenka, Seth Anandram Jaipuria, and City Montessori School. Medical facilities like Medanta and Max Super Speciality Hospital are within a short drive. Retail anchors extend beyond Ekana Mall to Lulu Mall and Platinum Mall. Malls are on par with Lulu Mall and Platinum Mall within a distance. For a land-development company that markets on the strength of surrounding infrastructure rather than in-project amenities alone, this is the kind of established social fabric that lowers the risk of a plotted parcel remaining underused.
The clearest evidence of the corridor's re-rating is the five-year price trend. Gomti Nagar Extension has emerged as the most promising real estate destination of the city since the property prices have increased by 81 per cent in the last five years (2020-2025). Existing housing stock in the immediate Ekana precinct already prices well above the city average: apartments at Ekana Ontario, for instance, are quoted in the roughly ₹1.94 to ₹3.57 crore range across 2,484 to 4,599 sq ft super area, while villa product in the same stretch, such as Chinmay Urbanac Garden, is priced near ₹4.3 crore for plots around 5,050 sq ft. This society is RERA approved and UPRERAPRJ845716 is the RERA number. Here units have different sizes, mostly in range of 2,484 - 4,599 sqft SUPER area. That price band, and its trajectory, is the backdrop against which a HoABL-style plotted offering in this belt would be positioned: land entry costs that still sit below finished-apartment pricing in the same micro-market, with an appreciation curve already established by neighbouring developments.
HoABL's stated method, repeated across its Ayodhya, Alibaug, Dapoli and Vrindavan parcels, is to sell land with a verified, encumbrance-free title and basic infrastructure such as roads, water and power already in place, positioning the plot as a build-ready asset rather than raw land. We guarantee that every single land parcel offered for sale possesses a verified, clear title that is entirely free from any legal disputes or encumbrances. Applied to a corridor like Ekana or Gomti Nagar Extension, that approach would let a buyer combine early-stage land pricing with a location that already has an airport, a suburban railway stop, a stadium-anchored retail and mall cluster, and established schools and hospitals within reach, rather than betting on infrastructure that is still years from arriving. As with any HoABL parcel, the specifics of RERA registration, acreage and possession timelines for a Lucknow-area launch would need to be confirmed against the company's own project filings once formally announced.
