Except for a few, all major listed real estate developers have shown annual growth in sale bookings in the April-June quarter. This growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for housing after the COVID pandemic.
According to data compiled from regulatory filings, India's 21 major listed realty firms have reported combined sale bookings of ₹34,927.5 crore in the first quarter of 2024-25 fiscal. The bulk of pre-sales came from the residential segment.

Mumbai-based Suraj Estate Developers Ltd has reported a sale bookings of ₹140 crore in the first quarter of this fiscal year.
Industry experts attribute this increase in sale bookings of major listed players to strong housing demand after the COVID pandemic. Housing market is also witnessing a shift in consumer demand towards those realty companies and brands which have better track record of executing real estate projects.
Real estate developers, which are not listed on stock exchanges, generally do not report their quarterly and annual sale bookings. Tata Realty & Infrastructure Ltd, Adani Realty, Piramal Realty, Hiranandani Group, Embassy Group, and K Raheja Group are major players in the unlisted space.
Post-COVID pandemic, Indian real estate market, especially housing segment, has bounced back sharply on pent-up demand and growing desire to have home ownership. Branded and reputed players, including listed and unlisted ones, have benefited most in this revival cycle as homebuyers do not want to take risk of getting stuck in real estate projects after making payments.
Thousands of buyers are still stuck in housing projects of builders like Unitech and Jaypee Infratech Ltd which defaulted in delivering projects. Homebuyers of Amrapali Group are getting possession of their flats after intervention from the Supreme Court. Suraksha Group has won a bid to acquire Jaypee Infratech Ltd (JIL) through insolvency process. The Group has infused capital and is awarding construction contracts to complete around 20,000 unfinished flats in Delhi-NCR.
Thousands of buyers of many NCR-based builders such as Unitech, Ansal API, Supertech Ajanara, The 3C Group, and Today Homes are stuck and fighting legal cases in real estate regulatory authorities at state level, tribunals, and courts.
