Godrej Properties, one of India’s leading real estate developers, has demonstrated robust financial health, enabling it to actively pursue lucrative land-buying opportunities. During the first quarter of the current fiscal year (April-June 2025), the company acquired five land parcels across key locations such as Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru, and Panipat. These acquisitions, executed through outright purchases and joint development agreements, collectively hold a revenue potential of approximately ₹11,400 crore.
In an interview with PTI, Executive Chairperson Pirojsha Godrej emphasized the company’s proactive approach to land acquisitions, stating, “We are quite active on the land front. I think anytime there is a good opportunity, of course, we want to pursue it.” This strategy is backed by Godrej Properties’ strong balance sheet, supported by robust operational cash flows and recent capital raising activities. Specifically, the Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP) conducted in December 2024 has significantly strengthened the company’s financial position, providing ample liquidity to capitalize on promising land deals.
The company’s land-buying focus remains primarily on group housing projects in major urban centers, including Delhi-NCR, Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), Pune, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad. However, Godrej Properties is also exploring tier II cities for residential plot developments, reflecting a balanced approach between metropolitan and emerging markets.
Godrej Properties aims to continue its growth momentum by targeting an annual project addition worth ₹20,000 crore in the current fiscal year, with hopes of achieving this during the second or third quarter itself. This target aligns with the company’s broader vision of expanding its housing portfolio and reinforcing its market leadership.
On the sales front, Godrej Properties is tracking well to meet or exceed its fiscal year 2025-26 sales bookings target of ₹32,500 crore. The housing demand remains strong, supported by favorable market conditions. In the previous fiscal year 2024-25, the company recorded a 31 percent growth in sales bookings, reaching a record ₹29,444 crore compared to ₹22,527 crore in 2023-24.
Despite a high base effect and a slight delay in launching some projects, the company reported pre-sales of ₹7,082 crore in the first quarter of the current fiscal, marking an 18 percent decline year-on-year. Pirojsha Godrej attributed this drop to the above factors rather than weakening demand. Historically, Godrej Properties has been India’s largest real estate firm in terms of sales bookings over the last two financial years and is poised to retain this position for a third consecutive year if it meets its sales targets.
Financially, the company reported a 15 percent increase in consolidated net profit for the first quarter of 2025-26, rising to ₹598.40 crore from ₹518.8 crore in the same period last year. However, total income slightly decreased to ₹1,620.34 crore from ₹1,699.48 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. For the full fiscal year 2024-25, Godrej Properties posted a net profit of ₹1,389.23 crore on a total income of ₹6,967.05 crore.
The company’s sustained focus on financial prudence, backed by strong operational cash flows and capital market support, positions it well to seize future land acquisition opportunities. These investments will be critical to maintaining its growth trajectory in a competitive real estate market.
