The 21% drop in collective sales bookings signals weakening demand in India's listed real estate sector, potentially pressuring developer stocks and sector indices. However, the strong performance of leaders like Godrej Properties and the expectation of a revival from Q2 may temper negative sentiment.
In the April-June quarter of fiscal year 2026-27, the collective sales bookings of 28 major listed Indian real estate developers fell 21% to Rs 39,964 crore from Rs 50,900 crore in the same period last year. The decline was attributed to lower sales volumes, fewer project launches by key developers, a high base effect, and cautious homebuyer sentiment amid global economic uncertainties and the West Asia conflict. Godrej Properties emerged as the largest listed developer by sales bookings with Rs 8,651 crore, up from Rs 7,082 crore. Prestige Estates Projects took the second spot with Rs 6,579.3 crore, down from Rs 12,126.4 crore. DLF (company) saw a sharp plunge to Rs 657 crore from Rs 11,425 crore, as it launched no projects during the quarter. Overall, 19 of the 28 developers reported growth in pre-sales, while nine reported declines. Industry consultants expect sales momentum to improve from the second quarter onwards.
