With about seven new locations planned to be launched in the second half of this fiscal, starting with the upcoming festive season, Lodha expressed confidence about delivering on its full-year pre-sales target of Rs 14,500 crore.
“This confidence is supported by the increased conversion rates that we are now witnessing as customers start acting on their need for a high quality home,” he said.
