Over the past year, the company has focused on strengthening governance and stabilising operations. Since assuming operational control, it has completed and handed over six long-pending residential projects, delivering homes to more than 3,300 families. This includes three projects in Mumbai located in Worli, Lower Parel and Thane.

Commenting on the expansion, Jitu Virwani, Chairman of Embassy Developments Ltd., said that the group has spent over three decades creating developments that endure in quality and urban impact. He noted that entering Mumbai marks an important step in building a strong national residential presence, backed by consistent execution and long-term value creation.

The company reported pre-sales of about Rs 13.92 billion in Q3 FY2026, representing a quarter-on-quarter growth of around 240 per cent compared with Rs 4.09 billion in Q2 FY2026. For the nine months ended FY2026, cumulative pre-sales stood at Rs 19.99 billion, with Q1 FY2026 pre-sales at Rs 1.98 billion.

Shares of Embassy Developments Ltd settled at Rs 63.04 on Tuesday, down Rs 3.31, or 4.99 per cent, from the previous close, reflecting market reaction amid broader sector dynamics.

With its entry into Mumbai, Embassy Developments aims to strengthen its presence in premium residential markets, leveraging its development expertise and growing demand for high-end housing in India’s financial capital.
