Godrej Properties, the real estate arm of the Godrej Industries Group, has entered the Vadodara market with the acquisition of a 34-acre land parcel to develop premium plotted residential units, with a proposed saleable area of approximately 9 lakh square feet. This marked the company's second land acquisition in Gujarat in that period, following an October 2024 acquisition of a 3-acre parcel in Vastrapur, Ahmedabad. The Vadodara parcel is located on Ajwa Road, a rapidly developing corridor in the city with strong infrastructure and connectivity to major city landmarks.
Announcing the entry, Gaurav Pandey, MD & CEO, Godrej Properties, said, "We are happy to announce our entry into the vibrant city of Vadodara." He added that Ajwa Road offers an excellent opportunity for expansion as plotted developments gain traction, with the goal of creating a sustainable community that delivers long-term value while leveraging Vadodara's growth potential.
The project's site office is located at Godrej Heritage Estate, Godrej Projects Development Ltd., Ajwa Nimeta Road, Vaghodia, Vadodara, Gujarat 391510. It offers premium plots with more than 25 amenities, including a zen garden, amphitheatre, clubhouse, pool, gym and play zones, with plots starting from ₹51 Lakh onwards. Daily life at the estate is built around a jogging track running through tree-lined boulevards, alongside the zen garden and an amphitheatre used for community gatherings. A dedicated kids' play area is also part of the layout.
Aggregator listings tracking the RERA filing note plots ranging from 1200 to 2400 sq ft, with a target possession of December 2026 as per RERA. The plotted format lets buyers stage construction on their own timeline rather than take possession of a built unit, a format Godrej Properties has used consistently across its recent land-led launches.

Vaghodia sits on the eastern edge of Vadodara along the Ajwa Road corridor, an area with a long-standing industrial base. Vaghodia GIDC, located on the outskirts of Vadodara, is spread over 640 hectares and is home to several large-scale chemical, pharmaceutical and engineering industries. The estate hosts established manufacturers including Apollo Tyres, Gujarat Cycles and Munjal Auto. This industrial employment base is one of the underlying demand drivers for housing along the corridor.
On price, third-party trackers place Waghodia Road at around ₹2,950 per sq ft and Ajwa Road at around ₹2,450 per sq ft, among the more affordable pockets of Vadodara. Upcoming metro connectivity is cited as a factor boosting both the Ajwa Road and Waghodia Road belts. Separately, the upcoming 75-metre Outer Ring Road from Bhayli to Sindhrot is planned to pass through Harni, close to Ajwa Road. Together, these point to a locality still in its growth phase rather than an established premium address — which is consistent with Godrej Properties' stated approach of buying land in corridors before they mature.
The Vaghodia acquisition is one instance of a broader pattern in Godrej Properties' recent land strategy. The Vadodara deal is part of a broader expansion strategy centred on acquiring large land parcels in emerging growth hubs: earlier in the same month, the company acquired 48 acres in Doddaballapur, North Bengaluru, with a development potential of 1.1 million square feet; it also announced its entry into Raipur, Chhattisgarh, with a 50-acre acquisition aimed at 9.5 lakh sq ft of saleable area; and in January 2025 it bought 24 acres in Indore for ₹120 crore. In June, the company had also sold 1,450 homes worth ₹2,000 crore at the launch of the first phase of its Barca township at Godrej MSR City in Devanahalli, Bengaluru. Vaghodia's Godrej Heritage Estate is thus one node in a wider, land-first plotted-development push across tier-2 and growth-corridor markets, rather than a one-off local project.
Godrej Properties Limited is the real estate arm of the 127-year-old Godrej Group, established in 1990 and headquartered in Mumbai, and became the first Indian real estate developer to receive an ISO certification. It is one of India's largest pan-India developers, with residential, commercial and township projects across more than 15 major cities. The company has received over 400 awards for design, green building practice and construction quality, and recorded pre-sales of over ₹29,444 crore in financial year 2025. It has been listed on the BSE and NSE since 2010. For a buyer in Vaghodia, this scale translates into standardised project governance, RERA-compliant documentation and a construction and after-sales framework carried over from Godrej Properties' larger metro projects into a first-time Vadodara market entry.
