The reduction in debt has been accompanied by a surge in booking values, indicating strong market performance. Residential sales have hit a new peak across the top seven cities in the past year, with buyer demand heavily favoring branded developers. In Q1 FY25 alone, the booking value of these eight listed developers stood at Rs 26,832 crore.
To provide some context, these top eight listed players had a collective booking value of Rs 27,144 crore in FY19. By FY24, this value had surged to about Rs 90,573 crore, marking a 234 per cent increase over the period. Notably, the first quarter of this financial year alone saw their collective booking value at Rs 26,832 crore, nearly 99 per cent of the total value recorded in the entire FY19 and 30 per cent of the total value for the whole of FY24.
“This is a significant achievement, especially considering that there are three more quarters left in the ongoing financial year,” highlighted Dr Prashant Thakur, Regional Director and Head of Research at Anarock Group. The data shows a substantial rise in sales revenue among these developers.
However, the report also noted that some players experienced a rise in net debt during this period. This increase is primarily attributed to their aggressive expansion strategies and land acquisitions in various cities. Despite this, these developers also saw a significant increase in their booking values over the year.
The net debt decline for the other players is attributed to the significant jump in booking values over the last few quarters. This positive trend underscores the resilience and growth potential of the Indian real estate sector, particularly among listed developers.
