After Amitabh Bachchan, Ranbir Kapoor has become the second Bollywood star to acquire a land parcel at ‘The Sarayu’, a premium real estate project by The House of Abhinandan Lodha (HoABL) in Ayodhya, in a transaction valued at around ₹3.31 crore, the developer said on May 14.
The land parcel measures 2,134 sq ft and reflects the growing demand for luxury-branded plotted developments in the temple city, it said.
The acquisition is part of ‘The Sarayu by HoABL’, a 75-acre plotted development located along the banks of the Sarayu River. According to the company, the project will include a clubhouse, over 35 lifestyle amenities, and a five-acre fully vegetarian luxury hotel operated by The Leela.
Ranbir Kapoor is set to portray Lord Rama in Ramayana, a two-part film reportedly budgeted at ₹4,000 crore, making it one of India’s most expensive film projects ever produced. The film also stars Yash as Ravana, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Sunny Deol as Lord Hanuman, and Ravie Dubey as Lakshman.
“I believe Ayodhya has chosen me, and I have just answered this calling. Ayodhya is deeply rooted in our history and is a critical part of our cultural fabric. This land at The Sarayu became my gateway to ensuring it becomes part of my family’s legacy. HoABL made this journey seamless, transparent and easy with their fully digital process,” said Ranbir Kapoor.
“Ayodhya stands at the centre of India’s cultural and spiritual resurgence, with a clear long-term growth trajectory driven by infrastructure, tourism, and global attention. With The Sarayu, we are creating a benchmark for spiritually rooted, world-class land developments. Ranbir Kapoor’s investment reflects the growing conviction among discerning buyers who are looking at Ayodhya not just emotionally, but also as a strategic, future-forward destination,” said Abhinandan Lodha, Chairman, The House of Abhinandan Lodha.
In March 2026, Amitabh Bachchan expanded his real estate portfolio in Ayodhya by acquiring a 2.67-acre land parcel for ₹35 crore from The House of Abhinandan Lodha (HoABL), according to the company.
This marked Bachchan’s third investment in Ayodhya and his fourth plotted development purchase with HoABL. In May 2025, the veteran actor had purchased a 25,000 sq ft plot adjacent to The Sarayu for nearly ₹40 crore. Earlier, in 2024, he bought a 10,000 sq ft plot at The Sarayu, HoABL’s flagship seven-star mixed-use development in Ayodhya, for ₹14.5 crore.
Beyond Ayodhya, Bachchan has also invested in HoABL’s ‘Sol de Alibaug’ project, where he acquired a 10,000 sq ft land parcel for ₹10 crore. The project has also drawn investments from Bollywood actors Kriti Sanon and Kartik Aaryan.
Ayodhya real estate market
Over the past five years, Ayodhya’s growth has been fueled by large-scale infrastructure projects, including the expansion of the international airport, improved road and rail connectivity, and the construction of the Ram Mandir.
According to a report by Liases Foras titled ‘Ayodhya – A Rising Global Spiritual Capital,’ the city’s real estate market is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by rising land values and increasing interest in both and long-term investment. The report notes that land prices in Ayodhya have grown at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19%, with projections suggesting this could reach 25% by 2035.
