Following the opening of Ram Mandir, the real estate market in Ayodhya is showing rapid growth, attracting investments not only from major businessmen but also from many film stars. Among the most prominent investors is Amitabh Bachchan. The behind-the-scenes story of his investment has become widely discussed.
Details of the Major Deal
During a real estate event, renowned entrepreneur Abhinandan Lodha revealed how 'Big B' called him late at night, resulting in a high-profile deal to purchase land worth 15 crore rupees in Ayodhya. This is considered the celebrity's most talked-about investment in the new global center for spiritual tourism.
Abhinandan Lodha, promoter of 'The House of Abhinandan Lodha', stated that Bachchan himself contacted him late at night to inquire about a large plot of land. Subsequently, the actor acquired a large plot of 15,000 square feet in the premium project by 'The Sarayu' company, valued at approximately 15 crore rupees.
Interesting Aspects of the Negotiations
Lodha recalled that he initially expected the actor to be interested in a small property but was surprised when Bachchan requested a very large plot. In an interview with 'The Hindustan Times', Lodha reported: 'Mr. Bachchan called me late at night and asked if I had a plot of land measuring 15,000 square feet in Ayodhya?'. According to Lodha, this request was unusual because individual buyers rarely demand such large plots, but the conversation quickly turned into a business transaction.
Additional Investments in Ayodhya
Amitabh Bachchan's confidence in the elite real estate market of Ayodhya continues to grow. The company announced that recently, in March 2026, the actor increased his real estate portfolio in Ayodhya by acquiring another large land parcel of 2.67 acres worth 35 crore rupees through HoABL. This is Bachchan's third investment in Ayodhya and his fourth major purchase within the project with this group.
Real Estate Market Growth Forecasts
According to a recent report by the research firm Liases Foras titled 'Ayodhya – Rising Global Spiritual Hub', the real estate market of this holy city is undergoing dramatic and historic changes. Official data from the report indicates that land prices in Ayodhya are currently growing at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 19%. Market forecasts suggest that this growth rate could reach 25% by 2035. This is why large High Net Worth Individuals (HNIs) like Amitabh Bachchan and major developers are investing here for the long term.
