thebalanced.newsIndia's Real Estate Sales Rise in FY26; Developers Target Growth Amid Market Caution
India's real estate sector showed strong performance in FY26, with top developers like Godrej Properties, Prestige Estates, Lodha, and DLF collectively achieving housing sales of around ₹1.05 trillion and targeting ₹1.19 trillion in FY27. Housing sales across 75 major cities rose 16% in value despite a slight decline in units sold, with increased new supply pushing unsold inventory higher. Godrej Properties partnered with Tata Projects for luxury developments in Gurgaon, while Raymond Realty remains cautious about South Mumbai, focusing on suburbs and BKC amid potential construction cost rises linked to geopolitical tensions.
