Real Estate Sales Fall 21% in Q1 FY27; Construction Equipment Growth Slows Amid Cost Rise
India's 28 major listed real estate firms saw a 21% decline in sales bookings to nearly ₹40,000 crore in Q1 FY27, mainly due to fewer housing project launches amid global economic uncertainties. Godrej Properties led with increased sales, while nine firms, including DLF and Prestige, reported declines. Concurrently, 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 forecasts.
