Luxury Housing Market Soars: India's Top Developers Report 20% Sales Growth
India’s top five listed real estate developers recorded a nearly 20% rise in sales bookings to Rs 84,000 crore during the first nine months of the 2025–26 fiscal year, buoyed by sustained demand for premium and luxury homes. According to data compiled from regulatory filings, 28 major listed developers together registered combined pre-sales of Rs 1,32,569 crore in the April–December 2025–26 period. The country’s five largest listed players accounted for 63% of these bookings.
Mumbai-based Godrej Properties led with sales bookings worth Rs 24,008 crore, followed by Prestige Estates at Rs 22,327.3 crore. Delhi-NCR’s DLF Ltd, the country’s biggest realty firm by market capitalisation, reported pre-sales of Rs 16,176 crore, while Lodha Developers logged Rs 14,640 crore. Signature Global rounded off the top five with sales bookings of Rs 6,680 crore.
Collectively, these firms’ pre-sales grew to Rs 83,831.3 crore from Rs 70,023.7 crore in the same period last year. Post the COVID-19 pandemic, branded and listed developers have steadily expanded their market share, as homebuyers gravitate toward firms with stronger financial capabilities and timely delivery records.
Among other notable players, Sobha Ltd posted pre-sales of Rs 6,096.7 crore, Brigade Enterprises Rs 4,903 crore, and Puravankara Ltd Rs 3,859 crore. Mumbai-headquartered firms such as Aditya Birla Real Estate, Oberoi Realty, and Kalpataru Ltd reported bookings of Rs 3,848 crore, Rs 3,774 crore, and Rs 3,447 crore, respectively.
Industry experts and property consultants such as Anarock, PropEquity, and PropTiger noted that while overall housing sales volumes dipped in the 2025 calendar year, the total value of deals rose on the back of price appreciation and strong demand for homes priced above Rs 1 crore. During the 2024–25 fiscal year, 26 major listed real estate firms together achieved pre-sales of Rs 1.62 lakh crore, led by Godrej Properties, which recorded nearly Rs 30,000 crore in property sales.
The surge in luxury housing sales is a testament to the growing preference for high-end properties among Indian homebuyers. This trend is expected to continue as economic conditions improve and consumer confidence strengthens. Developers are increasingly focusing on premium projects to cater to this demand, which is likely to drive further growth in the coming years.
