Prestige Estates Projects, a Bengaluru-based company, topped the charts with pre-sales of ₹12,126.4 crore in Q1 FY26. Their performance was outstanding, surpassing major players like DLF and Lodha Developers. Prestige's success is attributed to its strong market presence and customer trust.
DLF Ltd, India’s largest real estate firm by market capitalisation, secured the second position with pre-sales of ₹11,425 crore. The company's strong performance was driven by high demand for luxury homes in the micro-market of Gurugram, Haryana. This region has become a hub for luxury residential projects, attracting a significant number of high-net-worth individuals.
Godrej Properties, another key player, reported sales bookings worth ₹7,082 crore during the quarter. Lodha Developers followed with ₹4,450 crore, and Signature Global, based in Delhi-NCR, posted ₹2,640 crore in the June quarter. Together, these five developers contributed 71% of the overall bookings in Q1 FY26, underlining their dominant market position.
The surge in demand for residential properties post-COVID has been a significant factor driving the sales growth. Buyers are increasingly preferring branded developers due to the higher trust and lower risk perception associated with these companies. This trend is evident in the strong performance of leading real estate firms across major cities.
Mid-tier players also showed steady performance. Sobha recorded ₹2,079 crore in pre-sales, while Omaxe posted ₹2,001 crore in sales bookings. Oberoi Realty and Kalpataru reported ₹1,639 crore and ₹1,249 crore pre-sales, respectively, indicating consistent growth from mid-tier players.
Bengaluru-based Puravankara and Brigade reported ₹1,124 crore and ₹1,118 crore in bookings, respectively. Keystone Realtors (Rustomjee brand) sold flats worth ₹1,068 crore, and Sunteck Realty achieved ₹657 crore in sales. Kolte-Patil Developers from Pune secured ₹616 crore in pre-sales during the first quarter of FY26.
Smaller developers also contributed to the market activity. Mahindra Lifespace booked ₹449 crore, Shriram Properties ₹441 crore, and Ashiana Housing ₹430.97 crore. Aditya Birla Real Estate sold ₹422.5 crore, while Raymond Realty achieved ₹306 crore in pre-sales during the June quarter.
In the lower bracket, Delhi-NCR’s TARC sold ₹225 crore, Eldeco Housing ₹221.11 crore, and Max Estates nearly ₹220 crore. Embassy Developments stood at ₹198 crore, while Mumbai-based Arihant Superstructures booked ₹150.6 crore, Arkade Developers ₹142 crore, Ajmera Realty ₹108 crore, and Suraj Estate ₹81 crore.
This strong performance across various segments of the real estate market highlights the resilience and growth potential of the sector in India. As the market continues to recover post-pandemic, the outlook for the real estate industry remains positive, with expectations of sustained growth in the coming quarters.
