Details of the purchase
The land came from Abhinandan Lodha’s firm, and is close to the company’s 75-acre ‘The Sarayu’ project of luxury plots, by the Sarayu River. AB Corp Ltd – the family business that deals with most of Bachchan’s property – made the deal.
This is the third time Bachchan has bought land from this firm in Ayodhya. Before this, in January 2024, he bought a 10,000 square foot plot, and a house plot in the Haveli Avadh scheme for about 4.5 crore rupees. A different purchase, via a family trust, covers about 54,000 square feet, and is probably for a cultural or memorial project.
His property and what he’s doing
The new ground puts Bachchan among the most important people investing in Ayodhya’s up-and-coming property market. He already has valuable homes and property abroad, and seems to be turning to bigger areas of land that will go up in value as the schemes are completed.
People in the property world say land is something you can leave to future generations, and will keep its value over many years. Bachchan’s behaviour fits that idea: he buys sizeable plots close to big schemes and transport links, and not just houses in town centres.
The property demand, and the new infrastructure
The government and others are putting more than 85,000 crore rupees into Ayodhya – to improve the roads, make the airport better, rebuild the railways, and improve the city’s services. These projects have changed how the city is growing, and have encouraged new business and housing.
The number of visitors has gone up with the development. Government figures say about 230 million people visited between January and June 2025, and they think the total could be close to 500 million by the end of the year. That level of religious travel and tourism is what keeps up demand for hotels, shops and plots of land.
Famous people buying land, and how the market works
Well-known buyers are more and more often choosing large, undeveloped areas in quickly-growing towns, rather than the usual luxury flats. The reason is simple: land near new infrastructure can give very high returns, if the plans and transport links work out as promised.
However, that has downsides. Big areas of land can give capital gains, but are not easy to sell, and often depend on long-term public works. Getting planning permission, installing services, and market cycles all affect what happens, so timing and checking things carefully are still important.
What this means for investors and local property
Bachchan’s latest purchase will probably give other rich buyers and builders more confidence. Increased demand may push prices up, especially near the river and the temple area, where there is little space, and a lot of tourists.
For local planners and investors, the main thing is to balance quick development with long-lasting infrastructure and clear rules. Long-term returns will come from consistent transport, good city design, and clear land policies that help both tourism and the people who live there.
