In the December quarter, the company recorded a 32% increase in sales bookings, amounting to Rs 4,510 crore, compared to Rs 3,410 crore in the same period last year.
The company highlighted this achievement in a regulatory filing, stating, “We achieved our best ever quarter pre-sales of Rs 45.1 billion (Rs 4,510 crore), showing 32 per cent Y-o-Y (year-on-year) growth.”
Over the first nine months of this fiscal year, Macrotech Developers has seen a 25% growth in its sales bookings, reaching Rs 12,820 crore, up from Rs 10,300 crore in the corresponding period of the 2023-24 financial year.

Besides housing, the company is also involved in the development of industrial and logistics parks across various states.
This acquisition in Bengaluru underscores Macrotech Developers’ commitment to expanding its market presence and leveraging the city’s growing demand for high-quality residential properties.
