Bollywood superstar Ranbir Kapoor has significantly expanded his real estate portfolio, purchasing four distinct land parcels in Pune's Pimpri village for a total of ₹16.42 crore. Data from real estate analytics firm CRE Matrix confirms these transactions, which were all registered on April 30.

The newly acquired land is situated in Pune's Mulshi taluka, with the individual parcels varying considerably in size, from 8,900 square meters to a substantial 43,800 square meters. Kapoor's investment included a payment of ₹82.13 lakh in stamp duty for these properties.

- Another significant plot, spanning 29,900 square meters, cost ₹4.62 crore, with a stamp duty of ₹23.13 lakh.

Ranbir Kapoor's Ayodhya Investment
This Pune acquisition follows Kapoor's earlier high-profile land purchase in Ayodhya. He acquired a parcel at 'The Sarayu,' a premium development by the House of Abhinandan Lodha (HoABL), for approximately ₹3.31 crore. This plot covers an area of 2,134 square feet.
Reflecting on his Ayodhya investment in May, Kapoor stated, "I believe Ayodhya has chosen me, and I have just answered this calling. Ayodhya is deep rooted in our history and is a critical part of our cultural fabric. This land at The Sarayu became my gateway to ensuring this becomes a part of my legacy for my family."
Growing Celebrity Interest in Ayodhya Real Estate
Ranbir Kapoor's investments are part of a broader trend of renowned personalities acquiring property in Ayodhya. Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan also purchased a 15,000 square feet land parcel at 'The Sarayu' for ₹15 crore.
These deals underscore a significant surge in demand for luxury branded land developments within India's revered spiritual city. Ayodhya's real estate market is experiencing robust growth, driven by substantial government investment, enhanced connectivity, extensive infrastructure development, and a remarkable increase in tourism. Annual visitor numbers have soared from around 5.75 crore before the temple construction to 23 crore between January and June 2025, solidifying its emergence as a leading destination for spirituality, culture, and real estate investment.
