India's Top 28 Listed Realty Firms Rack Up ₹92,500 Crore in H1 Sales, Prestige Group Leads

New Delhi: India’s 28 biggest listed real estate developers sold homes worth Rs 92,437 crore in the first half of FY26. This is a clear sign that people are still actively purchasing houses, even in the post-pandemic landscape. A few key players drove most of this momentum. Prestige Estates Projects led the pack with pre-sales of Rs 18,143.7 crore between April and September.

Right behind them, DLF recorded Rs 15,757 crore, and Godrej Properties followed closely with Rs 15,587 crore. Lodha Developers, based in Mumbai, reported Rs 9,020 crore, and Signature Global posted Rs 4,650 crore in the same period. These five giants alone brought in more than Rs 63,000 crore—almost 70 percent of all pre-sales among the 28 listed firms.

The numbers reveal a significant shift in buyer behavior post-pandemic. Homebuyers are now more inclined towards well-known developers with a proven track record of delivering on their promises. This shift has allowed major players to capture even more market share, particularly in major cities. Smaller or less established builders have been left behind as buyers prioritize security and reliability.

Some other companies also performed well. Sobha Ltd in Bengaluru sold Rs 3,981.4 crore. Brigade Enterprises reported Rs 3,152 crore. Mumbai’s Oberoi Realty hit Rs 2,937.74 crore, and Kalpataru Ltd reached Rs 2,577 crore. Puravankara Ltd was not far behind with Rs 2,455 crore.

Mid-sized companies like Keystone Realtors (Rs 1,839 crore), Sunteck Realty (Rs 1,359 crore), Aditya Birla Real Estate (Rs 1,312 crore), and Kolte-Patil (Rs 1,286 crore) also held steady. In the sub-Rs 1,000 crore bracket, companies like Ajmera Realty, Raymond Realty, Ashiana Housing, Embassy, Arvind Smartspaces, TARC, Arihant Superstructures, Max Estates, Arkade Developers, and Sri Lotus Developers continued to move units, though not breaking records. Suraj Estate Developers brought in Rs 234 crore, the lowest among the group.

Not every developer reports pre-sales numbers, but they are crucial for investors and analysts. These figures provide insight into a company’s pipeline and operational health, as there is usually a gap between booking a sale and recognizing the revenue. For context, in FY25, 26 major listed developers sold Rs 1.62 lakh crore in pre-sales, with Godrej Properties leading the way by moving almost Rs 30,000 crore worth of units.
