Lodhi Club's business model is a recurring subscription membership model with ancillary transaction-based revenue. Membership is offered in Individual, Family, Corporate, and Dependent tiers with annual billing, supported by one-time I-card issuance fees (Rs. 110-1,100 plus tax) and non-refundable renewals.

The club is governed by an elected Executive Committee and currently led by President Sh. Himanshu Jain, IAS (appointed March 2025) and General Secretary Dr. Sarju Ralhan.
