In the financial year 2024-25, India’s top real estate developers, including Godrej Properties, DLF, Macrotech Developers (Lodha), and others, achieved a historic milestone by collectively selling homes worth ₹1.62 lakh crore. This remarkable sales figure highlights the ongoing strength and resilience of the Indian housing sector despite macroeconomic challenges and changing interest rate dynamics. It also underscores the rising demand for branded residential projects in metropolitan cities and tier-1 urban hubs.
Godrej Properties alone sold properties worth ₹22,500 crore, registering its highest-ever annual sales performance. Similarly, DLF recorded sales of ₹14,778 crore, supported by the success of its luxury and premium residential launches in key markets like Gurugram and Chandigarh. Lodha (Macrotech Developers), one of India’s biggest listed real estate firms, posted annual bookings of over ₹14,500 crore, with strong traction from both domestic and NRI buyers.
These record-breaking sales were largely driven by high-value launches, improving consumer sentiment, and a growing shift towards reliable developers with proven track records. Homebuyers are increasingly preferring well-planned communities with amenities, green spaces, and digital infrastructure. The trend of buying under-construction properties from large real estate players has grown significantly due to trust in timely delivery and project quality.
The Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, and Pune remained the top-performing markets during FY25. The focus was primarily on luxury and mid-income housing segments, with developers launching marquee projects that saw instant bookings. Some projects were even fully sold out within days of launch, indicating high pent-up demand and investor interest.
Analysts expect this momentum to continue in FY26, with major developers planning launches across new cities and expanding their existing portfolios. The supportive policy environment, increasing urbanization, and government push for infrastructure development have created a favorable backdrop for sustained growth. Furthermore, with the continued influx of investments into the sector and a surge in institutional interest, the Indian housing market is poised to reach even greater heights in the coming years.
The ₹1.62 lakh crore sales achievement marks a transformative phase for the real estate sector, signaling renewed confidence among buyers and developers alike. It reflects a structural shift in consumer behavior and sets the stage for a more organized and transparent real estate ecosystem in India.
