India’s major listed real estate developers recorded strong sales momentum during FY26, with combined sales bookings reaching nearly INR 1.95 lakh crore, reflecting a 17% year-on-year increase. The growth was driven by sustained housing demand, rising property prices and strong traction in the premium and luxury housing segments. Godrej Properties retained its position as the country’s largest listed developer by sales bookings, while Prestige Estates moved to the second spot. The top five listed developers together accounted for nearly 60% of total pre-sales, highlighting the growing dominance of established brands in India’s housing market.
India’s 28 major listed real estate companies reported combined sales bookings of nearly INR 1.95 lakh crore during FY26, marking a 17% increase from more than INR 1.66 lakh crore recorded in the previous financial year. The performance reflects continued demand for residential properties despite higher prices across key housing markets.
Data compiled from investor presentations showed that Godrej Properties maintained its position as the largest listed real estate company by sales bookings. The Mumbai-based developer recorded pre-sales of INR 34,171 crore during FY26, compared to INR 29,444 crore in the previous fiscal.
Prestige Estates Projects emerged as the second-largest listed developer after reporting a sharp increase in sales bookings to INR 30,024 crore from INR 17,023 crore a year earlier. Lodha Developers secured the third position with sales bookings of INR 20,530 crore, up from INR 17,630 crore in FY25.
DLF, India’s largest real estate company by market capitalisation, ranked fourth with pre-sales of INR 20,143 crore. However, its bookings were marginally lower than the INR 21,223 crore reported in the previous financial year. Signature Global retained the fifth position with sales bookings of INR 8,250 crore, compared to INR 10,290 crore in FY25.
Together, these five developers contributed nearly 60% of the total sales bookings reported by the 28 listed companies during FY26.
Industry consultants noted that housing sales growth in value terms was supported by both price appreciation and a larger share of luxury and premium housing launches. In recent years, developers have increasingly focused on higher-value projects as demand from affluent homebuyers remained resilient across major cities.
Among other listed developers that crossed INR 5,000 crore in pre-sales, Aditya Birla Real Estate reported sales bookings of INR 8,136 crore. Bengaluru-based Sobha recorded INR 8,135 crore, while Brigade Enterprises reported INR 7,424 crore and Puravankara achieved INR 7,407 crore.
Mumbai-based Oberoi Realty registered sales bookings of INR 5,447 crore, followed by Max Estates at INR 5,305 crore and Kalpataru at INR 5,280 crore.
Eight listed developers reported sales bookings between INR 2,000 crore and INR 5,000 crore during FY26. Embassy Developments led this category with pre-sales of INR 4,631 crore.

In the INR 1,000 crore to INR 2,000 crore category, Ajmera Realty & Infrastructure reported sales bookings of INR 1,701 crore, while Arvind SmartSpaces achieved INR 1,550 crore.

Among developers with pre-sales below INR 1,000 crore, Arihant Superstructures recorded INR 977.4 crore and Arkade Developers reported INR 901 crore. Eldeco Housing & Industries achieved sales bookings of INR 744 crore, while Suraj Estate Developers reported INR 615 crore during FY26.
Out of the 28 listed developers tracked, only six companies reported a decline in sales bookings compared with the previous financial year, indicating broad-based demand across the residential market.
Property market experts observed that listed developers continue to increase their share in India’s primary housing market as homebuyers increasingly prefer established brands with stronger balance sheets and proven project execution capabilities. This trend has gained momentum since the pandemic, with buyers placing greater importance on timely project delivery and financial stability.
Several listed developers, however, did not disclose their sales booking figures. Over the past few years, pre-sales have become one of the most closely watched indicators for assessing operational performance in the real estate sector. Revenue from these bookings is recognised only as projects progress and are completed, making pre-sales a key measure of future business visibility for developers.
