Lodha Developers has signed a joint development agreement with Sahana Group for a 10-acre parcel in the Parel–Sewri corridor of Mumbai. The agreement is valued at Rs 3,640 million (mn), reflecting the consideration reported for the transaction. The joint development arrangement will see the land owners and the developer collaborate on planning and construction while sharing development proceeds under the terms of the contract. The arrangement is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.

The site in Parel–Sewri occupies a strategic location within central Mumbai and offers opportunities for urban redevelopment given its proximity to transport links and established neighbourhoods. The parties have agreed to pursue statutory approvals and detailed project planning before commencing construction activity. The arrangement is described as a long-term development collaboration focused on unlocking the value of the site. Stakeholders will monitor progress as statutory milestones are reached.

For Lodha Developers, the deal reinforces its pipeline of land parcels available for development in the Mumbai metropolitan area and is expected to expand its capacity to deliver built assets. For Sahana Group, partnering with a developer on a joint development agreement provides a route to monetise land holdings while retaining a share in future realisation. The structure aligns incentives to complete the project efficiently and to move through planning milestones. Market reception and execution pace will shape the ultimate returns for both parties.

The financial terms and timetable for completion will depend on regulatory clearances and market conditions, with returns to be realised as phases of development are sold or leased. Both parties will need to coordinate with municipal authorities and service providers to meet infrastructure and compliance requirements. The agreement signals continued investor interest in central Mumbai land parcels and may encourage further collaborative ventures between land owners and developers. Further disclosures will be issued.

Work is underway to pave the main township road in Seppa with bituminous concrete, marking a significant upgrade to the local transport network. The project is being overseen by the district administration and carried out by municipal contractors using mechanised laying equipment. The initiative aims to replace older surface material that had become potholed and dusty, and to improve all weather access for residents and public services. Local officials have coordinated traffic diversions and site safety measures to minimise disruption during construction.

The work includes preparing the base, applying a bituminous concrete layer and compacting the surface to enhance load bearing capacity. Engineers are ensuring proper drainage and edge sealing to extend pavement life and reduce water ingress. The choice of bituminous concrete reflects considerations of durability and ease of maintenance in the local climatic conditions. Equipment on site includes pavers, rollers and material stabilisers operated by trained crews.

Residents and business owners along the route are expected to benefit from smoother journeys and reduced vehicle operating costs once the surface is completed. The administration has scheduled work to avoid peak movement hours and has informed local transport operators about temporary changes in stops and routes. Environmental precautions have been put in place to control dust and run off during construction and to dispose of surplus material responsibly. The project has also provided short term employment opportunities for local labour.

Officials said routine maintenance will be scheduled to preserve the new surface and that monitoring will continue to assess performance and inform future works. The improved road is intended to support daily mobility, emergency access and the movement of goods, contributing to broader local development goals. Authorities will review the outcome of the works and plan any necessary follow up interventions to maintain serviceability. Community members expressed relief at the reduced dust and smoother travel that the pavement is expected to deliver.

Gautam Adani visited Godda on Sunday to carry out a first inspection of the power plant in the district, where electricity generation of 2,300 megawatts (MW) is being undertaken through five units. The visit involved a walkthrough of production areas and technical installations and included meetings with senior plant executives. The inspection was described by officials as focused on operational readiness and optimisation of output.

Officials said the establishment of the plant followed a request from the local member of parliament, who provided cooperation during project development, and indicated that plans to establish a cement plant in Godda are likely to materialise soon. The electricity produced at the facility is currently being supplied to Bangladesh, and officials confirmed that the possibility of exporting power to other neighbouring countries is under consideration. Company representatives indicated that the project aims to balance regional energy demand with commercial export obligations.

During the review of all units, plant leadership set out steps to accelerate commissioning and enhance maintenance regimes to ensure sustained generation. The commissioning of the power plant has already been credited with contributing significantly to the development of Godda, and the proposed cement plant is expected to add industrial capacity and create large-scale employment in the region. Local authorities are monitoring progress with a view to aligning infrastructure improvements and workforce development.

Stakeholders expect the visit to accelerate operational momentum at the site and to clarify timelines for further investment and local supply arrangements. The inspection was followed by technical briefings and an internal review of safety and environmental practices to support reliable operations. Officials said subsequent measures will focus on connectivity, logistics and community engagement to ensure the project delivers intended economic benefits.
