27 Apr 2026 CW Team

Birla Estates, a wholly owned subsidiary of Aditya Birla Real Estate Limited, reported a booking value of Rs 81.36 bn for the financial year 2026, and collections rose 23.5 per cent year on year. The company recorded growth amid resilient residential demand supported by stable macroeconomic fundamentals and rising urban incomes. Eight launches were executed in FY26 across four regions, with sales momentum driven by integrated community offerings and a legacy developer brand.

The managing director and chief executive officer said that the results reflected the strength of the group's growth strategy, anchored in design differentiation and disciplined capital allocation, and that performance had been driven by strong demand for differentiated premium offerings, particularly in the NCR and Bengaluru markets. The company planned to deepen its presence in key markets, accelerate launches and focus on delivering high-quality living experiences.

Market performance was led by the National Capital Region, where new launches and established developments delivered rapid absorption. Birla Arika in Gurugram achieved strong sales with nearly 97 per cent of residences sold, 152 of 156 units, within a month of launch, while Birla Pravaah in Sector 71, Gurugram, saw all 492 units sold within 24 hours. Bengaluru maintained traction through successive phases of Birla Trimaya and demand for Birla Evara, while Pune and the Mumbai metropolitan region also recorded healthy uptake.

The company announced entry into redevelopment with a first project in Khar West, Mumbai, with an estimated revenue potential of Rs 17 bn and expanded plotted offerings with Birla Mrida in Boisar. Birla Taranya in Thane recorded bookings of Rs 9.52 bn with around 627 units sold. Strategic partnerships and recognitions included principal sponsorship of a national T20 team and sustainability and workplace awards, positioning the company to capitalise on sustained end-user demand.
