When Mumbai-based Macrotech Developers — the listed entity behind the Lodha brand — announced its move into Delhi-NCR, it did not pick a peripheral sector to test the market. The Golf Course Extension Road stretch covering Sectors 63A, 65, 66 and 67 was named as the target zone for Lodha's project in this corridor, run as a joint development with Gurugram-based MRG Group. The company entered the Delhi-NCR market in December 2025 through this partnership, with a reported combined revenue potential of ₹3,600 crore across two projects. The second project sits on the Dwarka Expressway; the GCER site in Sectors 63A-67 is the one carrying the ultra-luxury mandate.
The Golf Course Extension Road project is positioned in the ultra-luxury segment, with 7-star amenities and a full-scale clubhouse planned. That positioning is deliberate rather than incidental — it places Lodha's first Gurgaon address in direct proximity to the buyer segment the corridor has already trained: the ₹5-10 crore-plus homebuyer who has historically had to choose between DLF, M3M, or Emaar for a Golf Course Extension Road home.
Founded in 1980 by Mangal Prabhat Lodha, the group has grown into one of India's most prominent real estate developers, with its core scale built across Mumbai and the Mumbai Metropolitan Region before it began exporting the model. The company entered the Bengaluru housing market in 2022 through an initial pilot phase, and by 2024-25 that pilot had moved beyond testing to report around ₹1,400 crore in pre-sales from the city. Gurgaon is being approached the same way. Lodha has stated that its approach in Delhi-NCR follows the same pilot-and-scale model successfully adopted in Bengaluru and Pune, rather than a multi-project simultaneous launch.
Notably, Lodha did not buy the Sector 63A-67 land outright. Rather than paying peak prices for outright land acquisition, which would squeeze margins, Lodha entered as a development and brand partner, sharing revenue with the landowner, MRG Group. Analysts have pointed out this is the same playbook Godrej Properties and Tata Realty have used successfully in Gurugram — a structure that lets an out-of-market brand deploy its design and delivery standards on land a local partner already controls, without absorbing GCER's peak land pricing on its own balance sheet. The broader appetite behind this is visible in the numbers: in Q3 FY26 alone, Lodha added five land parcels with a combined GDV of ₹33,800 crore across MMR, NCR and Bengaluru, of which the Gurgaon entry with MRG Group was struck the previous month.
Golf Course Extension Road is not a single address but an eight-to-nine-kilometre stretch. It runs from where it splits off Golf Course Road around Sector 55/56 down to Sohna Road, cutting through Sectors 61, 62, 63, 63A, 65, 66 and 67. Within that stretch, the sub-pockets Lodha has entered carry a specific reputation: Sectors 63A, 66 and 67 are among the most preferred by homebuyers on this corridor, largely due to their location near business zones and key social facilities. These same three sectors draw strong interest from HNI, NRI and corporate professional buyers specifically because of that proximity to business zones and social infrastructure.
Lodha is not arriving into empty land. The Sector 63A stretch already carries active launches from other national developers — Godrej Properties has a project spanning 11.36 acres in Sector 63A, and Sobha Crescent brings 3 and 4-bed residences to the same sector, near GCER and the Aravalli Hills, alongside DLF's senior-living tower within its Arbour campus in the same pocket. That concentration of national-brand activity is itself a signal of how the market reads Sector 63A-67's positioning — and it is the immediate company Lodha's GCER project will keep once it launches.
The case for Sectors 63A-67 rests heavily on road access that is already built rather than promised. Golf Course Extension Road connects this stretch to Golf Course Road, Sohna Road and Cyber City, with the Southern Peripheral Road adding further reach, and NH-48 and Sohna Road keeping IGI Airport roughly 35 to 45 minutes away on a normal day. The Rapid Metro station at Sector 55-56 is around 10 to 12 minutes away by car, and that is set to shorten. A 36-km double-decker elevated metro corridor between Ghata Chowk and Vatika Chowk, running from Sector 56 to Pachgaon, has been proposed for the belt, and a 64-km Namo Bharat Regional Rapid Transit System is planned to connect Golf Course Extension Road with Sector 5. Both projects, once operational, would put Lodha's GCER site within a shorter transit reach of Delhi than most of Gurgaon's newer peripheral corridors currently offer.
Unlike Gurgaon's newest sectors, where social infrastructure typically arrives after the towers, the 63A-67 stretch already has an established base. Heritage School, DPS International and GD Goenka sit within a seven-to-ten-minute drive, and Artemis, Fortis and Medanta hospitals are within fifteen to twenty-two minutes. WorldMark Gurgaon and Ambience Mall provide organised retail, dining and entertainment within easy reach. This maturity is precisely what distinguishes GCER from corridors that compete on land price alone — a factor that matters for a developer entering with a premium brand promise rather than a volume play.
Golf Course Extension Road has re-rated sharply over the past several years, and that context frames the price band Lodha is entering at. Property prices on GCER have moved from approximately ₹8,800 per square foot in 2019 to over ₹20,000 today, with premium sectors pushing higher. By Q1 2026, the average residential price on GCER stood at about ₹18,887 per square foot, while premium properties were selling above ₹22,821 per square foot. Sector 63 specifically was averaging around ₹23,000 per square foot as of mid-2026. Lodha's project is not entering a discounted or emerging price band — it is pricing into an already-elevated ultra-luxury base, which is consistent with the 7-star, full-clubhouse positioning the company has attached to this site rather than a mass-market entry.
Abhishek Lodha, CEO of the company, has framed Gurgaon as offering a significant growth avenue compared to other NCR cities, and during an October 2025 investor call, he indicated Gurugram would likely become the company's first focus within NCR. For a buyer, that reading matters: Lodha's Sector 63A-67 project is not a peripheral experiment but the flagship of its stated NCR strategy, sited deliberately on the one Gurgaon corridor — Golf Course Extension Road — where connectivity, social infrastructure and buyer profile were already established well before the brand's first tower breaks ground.
