Introduction
India's listed real estate developers opened the new financial year on solid footing, even as the broader housing market showed mixed signals.
The Numbers
India's top listed developers, led by DLF, Lodha, Prestige, Oberoi and Godrej, posted strong presales growth in the first quarter of the financial year, with deal activity across the sector totalling roughly $2.3 billion in the June quarter.
A Mixed Metro Picture
Housing sales across the top seven cities eased about 6% year-on-year, yet prices held firm in most premium markets. Bengaluru remained one of the strongest markets on demand, while Mumbai led on overall sales volume.
Where the Action Is
Big-ticket land and office deals continued at pace, including a large office lease in Hyderabad and fresh land acquisitions by listed developers, pointing to steady institutional confidence even as retail buyers turned more selective.
What It Signals
The combination of firm pricing, strong institutional deal-making and selective retail demand suggests India's premium real estate segment remains resilient, even as affordability concerns weigh on broader housing volumes.
