In January, the number of housing units registered in MMR increased by 12% year-on-year to 12,249, marking the best-ever registrations for the month, according to government data compiled by Nuvama Research.
The value of these units surged by 31% year-on-year to around ₹16,600 crore.
Macrotech Developers Ltd (Lodha) and Godrej Properties Ltd are among the key beneficiaries of this trend, even as they continue to expand into new geographies.
Both companies are on track to meet and potentially exceed their FY25 pre-sales guidance, driven by a series of new launches.
Godrej Properties has achieved pre-sales of ₹19,281 crore in the nine months to December (9MFY25), marking a 48% year-on-year increase.
This is the highest-ever nine-month sales for Godrej.
MMR bookings for Godrej more than doubled (up 104%) to ₹5,155 crore in 9MFY25.
In the December quarter (Q3FY25), Godrej launched seven new projects and phases across four cities.
The company plans to launch additional projects in MMR, including sites in Vashi, Bhandup, Carmichael Road, and a new phase in Godrej Reserve in Q4.
The Worli project is likely to be launched in FY26.
Godrej’s management is optimistic and expects a pre-sales run-rate of ₹7,700 crore in Q4FY25.
Rival Lodha has set an FY25 pre-sales target of ₹17,500 crore and has already clocked pre-sales of ₹12,820 crore in 9MFY25.
The high-value markets of south and central Mumbai, along with the Western suburbs, have led pre-sales growth for Lodha in Q3FY25.
The company aims to increase its market share in Mumbai to 20% by FY30, up from 10% in FY24.
Lodha launched five new projects in the last quarter, aggregating 2.7 million square feet with a gross development value (GDV) of ₹4,180 crore.
The management is now targeting launches of ₹7,500 crore in Q4FY25, which should take total FY25 launches to ₹18,000 crore, surpassing the initial guidance of ₹12,000 crore.
According to Nomura Global Markets Research, “The management’s guidance implies Macrotech Developers achieving ₹4,700 crore of pre-sales in Q4FY25E (+10% year-on-year).
As such, the company has to sell about 15% of its pipeline in order to reach its pre-sales target, which we think is comfortable.
