The Lodha Elanza price is the most misreported thing about this project. Lodha’s own price page says ₹2.45 Cr+ for the 3 Bed. Search the project and you’ll be shown ₹1.92 Cr. This breakdown works the Lodha Elanza price from that base through every statutory charge to the number you’d actually sign, and explains exactly where the cheaper figures come from.

Start with the number the developer publishes

There’s a hierarchy of sources for a property price, and it isn’t complicated. The developer sets the price. Everyone else reports it, guesses it, or uses an old one.

Lodha publishes a price page for this project. It gives two figures and only two:

Note what’s missing from that table: the area. Lodha publishes the price without publishing the square footage against it. Every size figure you’ll see quoted for this project — the 1,500 to 2,300 sq ft range included — comes from secondary sources. That matters, because a price without an area is a price you can’t compare with anything.

The “+” also matters. It means “from”. Floor rise, facing and tower all move the number upward from there.

Where ₹1.92 Cr comes from, and why we haven’t used it

Four different lower figures circulate for this project: ₹1.92 Cr, ₹2.05 Cr, ₹2.06 Cr and ₹2.10 Cr. They appear on channel-partner microsites, the kind that exist to capture a phone number.

There are three innocent explanations and one less innocent one. A price can be stale, captured at soft-launch and never updated. It can be a pre-launch or early-bird figure that no longer exists. It can be a base rate quoted before floor rise and charges. Or it can be a number chosen because it ranks well and converts, with the real figure delivered on a phone call after you’ve already invested time.

We can’t tell you which applies to any particular site. What we can tell you is that a fifty-lakh discrepancy against the developer’s own published page is not a rounding error, and that no site quoting ₹1.92 Cr has shown a dated cost sheet to back it.

The statutory charges, worked line by line

These are set by the state, not the developer. They aren’t negotiable, no discount applies to them, and they don’t appear on the hoarding. Here’s the 3 Bed at Lodha’s published ₹2.45 Cr.

So about ₹2.76 Cr against a ₹2.45 Cr headline. Thirty lakh and change, going to the state.

A few notes on how those lines behave. Stamp duty is charged on the higher of the guidance value or the consideration, so if the government’s guidance value for the area is above your agreement value, the duty is calculated on the guidance figure rather than what you paid. The cess and surcharge are percentages of the duty, not of the property value, which is why they look small next to the other lines.

The percentages are fixed shares, which has a consequence worth spelling out: statutory cost scales exactly as fast as the home does. On the 3 Bed with Study at ₹2.99 Cr, the same 12.6% comes to roughly ₹37.67 lakh rather than ₹30.87 lakh. Trading up by ₹54 lakh quietly adds nearly ₹7 lakh of tax alongside it.

The registration change that breaks old calculators

Karnataka raised the property registration fee from 1% to 2% in August 2025. It’s a single line in a finance notification and it doubled a real cost for every buyer in the state.

The problem is that a large number of online stamp-duty calculators, bank pages and blog posts still carry the 1% figure. If you budgeted using one of them, you’re ₹2.45 lakh short on this flat before you’ve discussed anything else. On the 3 Bed with Study at ₹2.99 Cr, you’re ₹2.99 lakh short.

GST is worth understanding too. The 5% applies because this project is under construction, and it comes without input tax credit. On a completed property that already holds a completion or occupancy certificate, no GST is charged at all. That’s a genuine difference of ₹12.25 lakh between buying here and buying something finished — and it’s one of the real costs of a 2031 possession.

What the table above still doesn’t include

The ₹2.76 Cr figure is base price plus statutory. It is not the final number, and anyone who tells you it is hasn’t bought a flat recently.

None of these are unusual and none are hidden in a sinister sense. They’re just not in the headline. Ask for the cost sheet for your unit rather than the project’s generic one, because floor rise and parking in particular are specific to the apartment you’re buying.

The cost nobody puts in the spreadsheet: five years

Possession is indicated for September 2031, and that figure is single-source — Lodha publishes no completion date at all. Whatever the exact date turns out to be, you’re looking at a long wait, and a long wait has a price.

If you’re renting while you wait, you pay rent and construction-linked instalments at the same time for most of that period. Run your own number on it. Five years of rent at ₹45,000 a month is ₹27 lakh, and that’s before any increase. That figure belongs alongside the stamp duty in your planning, because it’s the same order of magnitude.

There’s an offsetting argument and it deserves a fair hearing: construction-linked payment means you aren’t paying the full amount upfront, your capital stays deployed elsewhere for longer, and if the corridor appreciates you’ve bought at today’s price. That’s a real argument. It’s just not a free one.

How the price sits against the corridor

Context helps. Here’s where this lands against other projects we’ve published on the same side of the city, with their entry prices as we’ve recorded them.

Two cautions on reading that table. Entry prices are for different configurations, so it isn’t like for like — a project starting at ₹1.20 Cr may be starting with a 2 BHK. And the statutory 12.6% applies to every row, so the gaps widen in absolute terms as you go up.

What the table does show fairly is that Lodha Elanza sits at the upper end of this corridor, and it’s doing so with a 3 BHK as its entry product rather than a smaller unit. That’s consistent with the low-density positioning. Whether it’s worth the premium is a judgement, and it’s yours to make.

The five questions that settle the price

Take these to whoever you’re speaking to, including us.

• What is the dated, all-inclusive cost sheet for this specific unit? Unit number, floor, facing, everything.
• What is the carpet area? Not saleable, not super built-up. Carpet.
• What is the floor rise per floor, and what does parking cost?
• What are the clubhouse and corpus charges, and how many months of maintenance are collected upfront?
• What completion date is declared on the RERA filing? Check it yourself on the Karnataka RERA portal under PRM/KA/RERA/1251/308/PR/191225/008353.

One more, and it’s the one people forget: ask what happens to the price if you delay. Developers on under-construction projects frequently raise the rate between phases and between towers. Knowing whether the quote you’re holding is valid for a week or a month changes how much time pressure is real and how much is manufactured.

And if you’re weighing the address itself rather than the building, the Dommasandra area guide covers the commute, the schools and the water question in detail.
