Last Updated:
In terms of sales bookings, Bengaluru-based Prestige Estates Projects Ltd emerges as the leading listed player in the April-June quarter of FY26, with pre-sales of Rs 12,126 crore.
DLF Ltd, the country’s biggest realty firm in terms of market capitalisation, stood at the second position, with pre-sales of Rs 11,425 crore, driven by the Gurugram luxury home market.
India’s 28 listed real estate companies have together sold properties worth nearly Rs 53,000 crore in the April-June quarter, with Prestige Estates achieving the highest sales bookings. According to the data compiled from regulatory filings, the total combined sales bookings of these 28 listed realtors stood at Rs 52,842 crore in the first quarter of the current financial year.
In terms of sales bookings, Bengaluru-based Prestige Estates Projects Ltd emerged as the leading listed player in the April-June quarter of FY26, with pre-sales of Rs 12,126.4 crore.
DLF Ltd, the country’s biggest realty firm in terms of market capitalisation, stood at the second position, with pre-sales of Rs 11,425 crore, driven by the Gurugram luxury home market.
Mumbai-based Godrej Properties clocked sales bookings of Rs 7,082 crore, while Lodha Developers sold properties worth Rs 4,450 crore during the June quarter.
Delhi-NCR-based Signature Global achieved sales bookings of Rs 2,640 crore in the June quarter.
Notably, these top five developers contributed 71 per cent to the total combined sales bookings achieved by the 28 listed realty firms.
The bulk of these sales bookings pertained to residential properties, whose demand has surged post-COVID pandemic. Big branded real estate developers have benefited most from this strong revival, both in volume and value terms, in India’s housing market, as homebuyers have become risk-averse.
Among other listed players, Bengaluru-based Sobha Ltd and Delhi-based Omaxe Ltd sold properties worth Rs 2,079 crore and Rs 2,001 crore, respectively.
Mumbai-based Oberoi Realty Ltd and Kalpataru Ltd posted sales bookings of Rs 1,639 crore and Rs 1,249 crore, respectively.
Bengaluru-based Puravankara Ltd and Brigade Enterprises Ltd sold properties worth Rs 1,124 crore and Rs 1,118 crore, respectively.
Sales bookings of Mumbai-based Keystone Realtors, which markets under the Rustomjee brand, stood at Rs 1,068 crore.
In the below-Rs 1,000 crore pre-sales category, there were many players.
Mumbai-based Sunteck Realty sold properties worth Rs 657 crore, while Pune-based Kolte-Patil Developers Ltd clocked Rs 616 crore in pre-sales numbers.
Mahindra Lifespace sold properties worth Rs 449 crore, and Bengaluru-based Shriram Properties Ltd pre-sales stood at Rs 441 crore.
Sales bookings of Delhi-based Ashiana Housing Ltd were Rs 430.97 crore.
Mumbai-based Aditya Birla Real Estate Ltd and Raymond Realty Ltd reported pre-sales at Rs 422.5 crore and Rs 306 crore, respectively.
Delhi-NCR-based TARC Ltd sold properties worth Rs 225 crore, while Lucknow-based Eldeco Housing & Industries Ltd did Rs 221.11 crore worth pre-sales and Max Estates Ltd nearly Rs 220 crore.
Bengaluru-based Embassy Developments Ltd sold properties worth Rs 198 crore in the April-June period of this fiscal.
Ahmedabad-based Arvind Smartspaces Ltd’s sales bookings were Rs 175 crore.
Sales bookings of Mumbai-based Arihant Superstructures Ltd, Arkade Developers Ltd, Ajmera Realty & Infrastructure Ltd and Suraj Estate Developers Ltd stood at Rs 150.6 crore, Rs 142 crore, Rs 108 crore and Rs 81 crore, respectively.
Some of the listed players have not reported their sales bookings numbers, an important metric to evaluate their performances.
Revenue recognition of sales bookings achieved by these developers takes time, as it is linked to the completion of real estate projects.
Real estate developers, which are not listed on stock exchanges, generally do not report their quarterly and annual sales bookings.
During the 2024-25 financial year, the country’s 26 major listed real estate firms sold properties valuing Rs 1.62 lakh crore.
Godrej Properties Ltd was the largest player last fiscal in terms of sales bookings as it sold properties worth nearly Rs 30,000 crore.

Gurugram Attracts Rs 86,588 Crore In Real Estate Investments In 2025 As RERA Clears 131 Projects
Last Updated:
Alongside rising investments, Gurugram RERA strengthened regulatory oversight to safeguard homebuyer and investor interests

Gurugram emerged as one of India’s top real estate investment destinations in 2025, with projects worth Rs 86,588 crore receiving regulatory approvals during the year, according to data from the Gurugram Real Estate Regulatory Authority (Gurugram RERA).
Market observers said the numbers reflect strong investor confidence in the NCR’s largest commercial and residential hub.
Gurugram RERA registered 131 projects in calendar year 2025, representing development potential of 35,455 units across housing and commercial segments.
A striking feature of the data was the dominance of large-ticket projects. Just 28 major developments accounted for investments worth Rs 59,360 crore, highlighting the growing influence of institutional capital and large developers in shaping Gurugram’s property market.
Residential assets continued to attract the bulk of investment interest. Of the total units approved, 31,455 were residential, underscoring sustained end-user demand and long-term confidence in the city’s housing fundamentals.
According to Authority data, the residential mix included 17,405 group housing units, 5,720 mixed land use units, 4,040 residential floor units, 2,122 affordable group housing units, 1,954 units under the Deen Dayal housing scheme, and 214 residential plotted colony units.
Market observers said this diversified supply pipeline indicates capital deployment across both premium and mass segments, helping reduce concentration risk and deepen market resilience.
On the commercial side, Gurugram RERA approved about 4,000 commercial units, of which 168 were dedicated to IT parks, reinforcing Gurugram’s position as a preferred hub for technology firms and Global Capability Centres.
Analysts noted that the combination of office-led employment growth and residential expansion continues to make Gurugram attractive for long-term capital deployment.
Industry experts said the scale of investments approved in 2025 highlights Gurugram’s ability to attract capital despite global uncertainty, supported by infrastructure growth, a strong corporate base and an improving regulatory environment.
“With a large pipeline of approved projects and sustained interest from developers and institutional investors, Gurugram is expected to remain a key real estate investment destination in the coming years,” a Gurugram-based real estate expert said.
Tighter regulatory checks
Alongside rising investments, Gurugram RERA strengthened regulatory oversight to enhance transparency and safeguard homebuyer and investor interests.
“These steps included stricter scrutiny of developer submissions, mandatory site inspections by domain experts, and public consultation through mandatory notices before project registration,” an Authority official said.

The government on Thursday kept petrol and high-speed diesel (HSD) prices unchanged at Rs253.17 per litre and Rs257.08 per litre respectively, for the coming fortnight, starting from January 16.
This decision was notified in a press release issued by the Petroleum Division.
Earlier, it was expected that the prices of all petroleum products would go down by up to Rs4.50 per litre (over 1pc each) today in view of variation in the international market.
Petrol is primarily used in private transport, small vehicles, rickshaws, and two-wheelers, and directly impacts the budgets of the middle and lower-middle classes.
Meanwhile, most of the transport sector runs on HSD. Its price is considered inflationary, as it is mostly used in heavy transport vehicles, trains, and agricultural engines such as trucks, buses, tractors, tube wells, and threshers, and particularly adds to the prices of vegetables and other eatables.
The government is currently charging about Rs100 per litre on petrol and about Rs97 per litre on diesel.
