Indian Real Estate Sector Set for Sustained Growth, Says JM Financial
Real Estate Mumbai:India's real estate sector has reached unprecedented heights in FY24, shattering records and redefining industry standards. A remarkable surge in residential property demand across key cities has sparked a launch spree among developers, leading to a drastic depletion of inventory levels.

Defying expectations, the demand juggernaut has continued unabated, with luxury projects selling out within days of pre-launch. This phenomenal success has triggered a bull run in real estate stocks, which is expected to sustain, according to JM Financial projections.

JM Financial predicts a seamless continuation of FY24's stellar performance into FY25, with an anticipated 18% market growth driven by 12% volume expansion and 6% price appreciation. Supply is expected to increase moderately, aligning with annual absorption rates.

The brokerage favors developers with a proven track record of timely project launches and strategic business development. Against this backdrop, it has initiated coverage on five real estate companies, including DLF, Macrotech Developers, Keystone Realtors, Oberoi Realty, and Sobha.

The brokerage has assigned a 'buy' rating to DLF, Macrotech Developers, and Keystone Realtors. It has set a target price of ₹1,000 for DLF, indicating a 20% upside, ₹1,480 for Macrotech Developers, suggesting a 16% upside, and ₹895 for Keystone Realtors, signaling an upside potential of 16.5%.

Meanwhile, Oberoi Realty and Sobha have been assigned a 'hold' rating, with target prices of ₹1,820 and ₹1,755, respectively.

Diversification out of core markets is the key to sustained growth. The brokerage noted that real estate companies are expanding into new micro-markets to reduce their reliance on core regions and capitalize on growth opportunities.

Two major themes consolidation and premiumisation. According to JM Financial, the top 10 listed developers have made significant inroads into the market, steadily chipping away at the informal segment's share.

Rapid sales of high-quality launches have created a shortage of such inventory, pushing prices higher. Developers are also launching new phases of existing projects at increased price levels.
