HOABL SHIMLA PLOTTED DEVELOPMENT — New Project Coming Up in Mashobra, Shimla
HoABL Expands into Himachal Pradesh with Shimla Plotted Development
The House of Abhinandan Lodha (HoABL), founded in 2020, develops residential plotted land projects across India. The developer announced a ₹3,000 crore investment to expand its footprint in six new cities including Shimla, marking its entry into Himachal Pradesh's luxury real estate market.
The 150-acre estate of luxury villa plots in Mashobra, Shimla, represents one of the last large-format premium developments available in this micro-market. HoABL acquired 11 acres in Shimla's Mashobra, though the current announcement details a significantly larger footprint for the master-planned community.
Location and Connectivity
Mashobra is connected to the state capital Shimla through the historic Hindustan–Tibet Road built in 1850 by Lord Dalhousie. Mashobra is about a 40-minute drive northeast of Shimla. The location is approximately 12 kilometers from Shimla via National Highway 5 (NH5), also known as the Hindustan-Tibet Road, passing through the Dhalli Bypass. Local buses operated by the Himachal Road Transport Corporation (HRTC) and taxis provide frequent connectivity.
Nestled near Mashobra on the historic Hindustan Tibet Road, the project avoids the city's congestion while remaining minutes away from iconic landmarks. This ensures that while you enjoy the silence of the woods, the convenience of the main town and essential infrastructure remains within effortless reach. Shimla Railway Station (Toy Train) is 14 km (35 mins away); Kalka Railway Station (Broad Gauge) is 94 km (2.5 hrs away); Mashobra Bus Stand (HRTC & Local Buses) is 1.5 km (4 mins away).
Landscape and Environment
Spanning 150 acres of untouched apple orchards and deodar forests, the House of Abhinandan Lodha Shimla project marks a transformative chapter in Himalayan real estate. The development is nestled amidst sprawling apple orchards and dense forests of Deodar, Pine, and Rhododendrons.
Mashobra is a serene tourist destination with much less commercialization and large-scale tourist infrastructure when compared to the main city of Shimla. The location has historically attracted investors and visitors seeking mountain retreats; Wildflower Hall at Chharabra, now a property of Oberoi Hotels, has been residence to Lord Kitchener as well as Lord Ripon during the British Raj.
Project Details and Pricing
Starting at ₹8 Crore, this price point clearly establishes the project in the ultra-luxury segment, targeting a specific demographic that values exclusivity. The project features a low-density design plan that is both privacy-oriented and Vastu-compliant.
Developed by Abhinandan Ventures Group, this HoABL RERA-registered Shimla enclave provides complete legal clarity, long-term investment confidence, and the development comes with total legal certainty, investment security, and a guaranteed possession of 2028.
Developer Footprint and Track Record
As of 2024, HoABL reported operations across 16 locations in India, including Goa, Himachal Pradesh, Maharashtra, Punjab, and Uttar Pradesh. HoABL has a portfolio of over 1,000 acres of plotted developments, with 13 million square feet of land sold and an additional 34 million square feet in the development pipeline.
The developer rose to prominence after launching the first luxury plotted development project in Ayodhya shortly after the Ram temple consecration ceremony. HoABL's plotted development projects span Anjarle, Dapoli, Neral, Goa, Alibaug, Khopoli, Nagpur, Vrindavan, and Ayodhya, with future launches planned in Amritsar.
