India's Realty Sector Surges with Rs 1.33 Lakh Crore in Property Sales
India’s 28 major listed real estate companies recorded a significant surge in property sales, amounting to nearly Rs 1.33 lakh crore during April-December 2025-26. This robust performance was led by Godrej Properties, which topped the charts with bookings worth Rs 24,008 crore.
Data from regulatory filings reveals that the total pre-sales for the first nine months of FY26 stood at Rs 1,32,569 crore. The demand for premium and luxury homes played a crucial role in driving these sales. Bengaluru-based Prestige Estates Projects came in second with Rs 22,327 crore in pre-sales, followed by DLF Ltd, India’s largest realty firm by market capitalisation, with Rs 16,176 crore. Lodha Developers and Signature Global also performed well, booking Rs 14,640 crore and Rs 6,680 crore, respectively.
The top five developers—Godrej Properties, Prestige Estates Projects, DLF Ltd, Lodha Developers, and Signature Global—collectively accounted for nearly Rs 84,000 crore, which represents about 63% of the total sales of the 28 listed players. Post-pandemic, branded developers have seen a significant gain in market share as buyers increasingly prefer financially strong companies that ensure timely project delivery.
Other notable performers in the sector include Sobha Ltd, which recorded Rs 6,097 crore in sales; Brigade Enterprises with Rs 4,903 crore; Puravankara Ltd at Rs 3,859 crore; Oberoi Realty with Rs 3,774 crore; and Kalpataru Ltd at Rs 3,447 crore. Smaller developers such as Arihant Superstructures, Suraj Estate, and Eldeco Housing also made their mark with sales ranging between Rs 234 crore and Rs 664 crore.
Revenue from these sales is recognised upon project completion, and it is worth noting that unlisted developers generally do not disclose their booking figures. In the previous fiscal year, 26 major listed firms sold properties worth Rs 1.62 lakh crore, with Godrej Properties leading the pack at nearly Rs 30,000 crore.
The real estate sector in India has shown remarkable resilience and growth, driven by a combination of robust demand, improved consumer confidence, and the preference for reputable developers. As the market continues to evolve, the focus on quality and timely delivery will remain key factors in sustaining this upward trend.
