"The changing times have brought in a major shift in consumer preference as homebuyers are now looking for development with integrated living, best amenities and open space to enjoy an upgraded lifestyle. Post the pandemic, we have also seen that customers who were looking for a 1-BHK (bedroom, hall, and kitchen) or 2-BHK have moved up for a 1 and a half or 2 and a half BHK configuration respectively," stated Lodha Group chief sales officer Prashant Bindal, while commenting on the performance.
