All about The Sarayu, House of Abhinandan Lodha project in Ayodhya

Bollywood veteran Amitabh Bachchan has reportedly invested in the project.

Betting big on prospects of Ayodhya, the old city in Uttar Pradesh with huge significance in the Hindu culture as the birthplace of Lord Ram, several real estate developers in the country are planning to launch new projects here. Some of them have already gotten the first-mover advantage. The House of Abhinandan Lodha (HoABL), for instance.

In December 2023, the Mumbai-based builder unveiled its plan to invest Rs 1,200 crore in Ayodhya to develop a 7-star mixed-use enclave. The company has already bought a 25-acre land parcel in the city for a whopping Rs 300 crore. It plans to announce its launch on January 22 ─ the day of the inauguration of the Ram Mandir.  

Lying a 15-minute drive from the sacred Ayodhya Ram Mandir site and a half-hour drive from the Ayodhya Airport, the project named, The Sarayu, has already made waves. In fact, if media reports are to be believed, Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan has already purchased a plot in the project. The mega star has reportedly paid Rs 14.5 crore to book a 10,000 square foot plot in the upcoming project.  Bachchan, who is from Prayagraj (erstwhile Allahabad) in Uttar Pradesh, already owns several properties in state capital Lucknow and the adjoining Barabanki district.
