The NCDs were issued in two issuances comprising (i) 20,000 debentures of face value INR 1,00,000 each, and (ii) 30,000 debentures of face value INR 1,00,000 each, aggregating to INR 500 crores. The debentures were privately placed and subsequently listed on the stock exchange, marking a significant capital mobilisation by the company. The issuances attracted participation from some of India’s most prominent and sophisticated institutional investors, including a leading mutual fund and a major private sector bank—underscoring strong market confidence in the company’s performance and governance standards.

Lodha Developers’ vision and execution continue to shape the urban real estate landscape in India.
The funds raised through this issuance are intended to be utilised towards Lodha Developers’ capital expenditure, refinancing of existing debt, meeting long-term working capital requirements, and general corporate purposes—forming an integral part of the company’s broader strategy to optimise its capital structure and fuel future growth.
SNG & Partners acted as legal counsel to the investors and the debenture trustee, advising on all aspects of the transaction including structuring of the issuance, drafting, reviewing, and negotiating the transaction documents, conducting legal due diligence, and overseeing regulatory compliances leading to successful listing of the debentures on the stock exchange.
