Real Estate Property Sales Hit Rs 1.95 Lakh Crore In FY26; Godrej Properties Leads
India’s top listed real estate firms had a strong year. Their combined property sales reached a record Rs 1.95 lakh crore in FY26. That is the total value of homes and projects these 28 big companies sold in the financial year. Godrej Properties stayed at the top of the table, beating every rival on sales. The numbers show that demand for homes in India is still healthy, even after years of fast price growth.
A quick note for first-time readers: “FY26” means the financial year that runs from April 2025 to March 2026. “Sales bookings” (also called pre-sales) is the value of homes buyers have agreed to purchase, even if the flat is not built yet. It is the cleanest way to measure how much business a builder actually won.
How Big Was The Jump?
The combined sales of these 28 listed developers rose 17% in FY26. They sold Rs 1.95 lakh crore worth of property, up from Rs 1.66 lakh crore in FY25. A 17% rise in one year is a solid result for an industry that depends heavily on interest rates and buyer confidence. The data was pulled from the companies’ own investor presentations.
Who Sold The Most? The Top Names
Godrej Properties kept its crown with Rs 34,171 crore in sales, up from Rs 29,444 crore a year earlier. But the real story is Prestige Estates. It nearly doubled its sales to Rs 30,024 crore, jumping from Rs 17,023 crore in FY25. That huge leap pushed it into second place.
Lodha Developers came third with Rs 20,530 crore. DLF, long seen as the giant of Indian real estate, slipped slightly to Rs 20,143 crore from Rs 21,223 crore. Signature Global rounded out the top five.
| Rank | Company | FY26 sales (Rs crore) | FY25 sales (Rs crore) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Godrej Properties | 34,171 | 29,444 |
| 2 | Prestige Estates | 30,024 | 17,023 |
| 3 | Lodha Developers | 20,530 | 17,630 |
| 4 | DLF Ltd | 20,143 | 21,223 |
| 5 | Signature Global | Not disclosed | — |
Strong Mid-Tier Performers
Several mid-sized builders also crossed Rs 5,000 crore in sales. Aditya Birla Real Estate booked Rs 8,136 crore, just ahead of Sobha Ltd at Rs 8,135 crore. Brigade Enterprises sold Rs 7,424 crore worth of property, and Puravankara reached Rs 7,407 crore. These steady numbers show demand is not limited to the top four names; it is spread across the sector.
| Company | FY26 sales (Rs crore) |
|---|---|
| Aditya Birla Real Estate | 8,136 |
| Sobha Ltd | 8,135 |
| Brigade Enterprises | 7,424 |
| Puravankara | 7,407 |
What Is Driving The Demand?
India’s housing market has stayed strong on the back of rising incomes, a shift towards bigger and premium homes, and trusted brand names that buyers feel safe with. Listed developers, in particular, are gaining share from smaller unlisted builders, because buyers prefer companies that finish projects on time. Prestige’s near-doubling of sales shows how fast a well-run builder can grow when it launches the right projects in the right cities.

Why It Matters (Especially For India And Investors)
Real estate is one of India’s biggest job creators and a huge part of household wealth. When listed builders sell more, it signals confidence in the economy and supports millions of construction, cement, and steel jobs. For investors, these sales numbers help decide which real estate stocks may rise next. For homebuyers, a strong, well-funded builder is more likely to deliver flats on time. The shift towards branded, listed developers also means the market is becoming more organised and transparent, which is good news for buyers worried about delayed or stalled projects.
The takeaway: India’s housing boom is broadening. Godrej leads, Prestige is surging, and demand is strong across the board. The record Rs 1.95 lakh crore figure suggests the property cycle still has room to run.
