Top 11 Listed Developers' Pre-Sales Rise 18% to ₹1.48 Lakh Crore in FY26: Anarock

New Delhi, May 29: The analysis covered Godrej Properties, Prestige Estates, DLF, Macrotech Developers, Signature Global, Brigade Enterprises, Puravankara, Oberoi Realty, Kolte-Patil Developers, Keystone Realtors and Sobha.

Top Performers

Developers with higher exposure to premium and luxury housing recorded stronger growth during the year. Prestige Estates reported the highest annual growth in pre-sales at 76 per cent, followed by Puravankara at 48 per cent, Keystone Realtors at 33 per cent, Sobha at 30 per cent, Godrej Properties at 16 per cent and Macrotech Developers at 16 per cent.

Geographic Diversification

Anarock said geographic diversification has become a key strategy for large listed developers as they look to reduce dependence on their home markets and expand into residential markets such as MMR, NCR, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune and Chennai. Nearly 68 per cent of Godrej Properties' FY26 pre-sales came from markets outside MMR, with MMR's share declining to around 32 per cent from 55 per cent in FY21.

Expansion Trends

Prestige Estates reduced its dependence on Bengaluru, with about 60 per cent of FY26 pre-sales coming from markets outside its home market. Bengaluru's contribution declined to around 40 per cent from about 90 per cent in FY21. South India-based developers such as Prestige Estates, Sobha, Brigade Enterprises and Puravankara are expanding their footprint beyond their core markets into MMR, NCR, Hyderabad and Pune.

Regional Concentration

In contrast, DLF remained concentrated in NCR, with nearly 90 per cent of its FY26 pre-sales coming from its home market. Signature Global also remained focused on NCR during the year. New launch data also reflected a shift towards multi-city expansion, with only about 10 per cent of Godrej Properties' new supply in FY26 being in MMR.
