India's Realty Sales Drop 21% Amid Project Slowdown; Construction Growth Moderates
India's 28 major listed real estate firms saw a 21% decline in sales bookings to nearly Rs 40,000 crore in the June quarter, mainly due to fewer housing project launches amid global economic uncertainties. Godrej Properties led in sales bookings, with 19 developers reporting growth while nine faced declines. Separately, India's construction equipment industry expects single-digit growth in FY27, impacted by rising steel and bitumen prices, geopolitical tensions, and project execution delays, moderating earlier double-digit growth expectations.
