Many listed players did not report their sales bookings numbers, which of late have become an important metric to evaluate their operational performances.

Revenue recognition of the sales bookings achieved by these developers is linked to the completion of real estate projects.

Real estate developers, which are not listed on stock exchanges, generally do not report their quarterly and annual sales bookings.

During the 2024-25 financial year, the country's 26 major listed real estate firms sold properties valuing Rs 1.62 lakh crore.

Godrej Properties Ltd was the largest player last fiscal in terms of sales bookings as it sold properties worth nearly Rs 30,000 crore.

According to property consultants and data analytic firms like Anarock, PropEquity and PropTiger, housing sales in volume terms fell during the 2025 calendar year but grew in value terms.

The growth in sales value is because of price appreciation post COVID pandemic coupled with increase in launches and sales of homes costing above Rs 1 crore per unit. PTI MJH MR
