Kolte-Patil Q2 Sales Rise as Blackstone Joins Promoter Group

13 Nov 2025 CW Team

In October 2025, the developer acquired a 7.5-acre land parcel in Pune’s Bhugaon micro market, offering a saleable area of 1.9 million sq. ft. and a Gross Development Value of approximately Rs 14 billion. The acquisition expands the company’s total development portfolio to around 37 million sq. ft., comprising unsold inventory, a strong project pipeline, and land reserves.

Sales for the quarter rose 9 per cent quarter-on-quarter to Rs 6.7 billion, while collections increased 8 per cent to Rs 5.96 billion. Average realisation improved to Rs 7,823 per sq. ft., reflecting 7 per cent sequential growth driven by premium offerings under the 24K luxury brand. Total income for the quarter stood at Rs 1.62 billion.

Managing Director Rajesh Patil said Blackstone’s entry into the promoter group marks the beginning of a new phase of long-term value creation. Several structural and governance enhancements—including board- and leadership-level changes—were implemented during the quarter to strengthen operational discipline and accelerate decision-making.

He added that housing demand remains strong across mid-income and premium categories, supported by rising disposable incomes, lifestyle upgrades, GST rationalisation and stable interest rates. The festive season has further lifted sentiment, with the residential sector becoming increasingly organised, transparent and customer-centric.

Sales at the flagship township Life Republic remained robust, contributing 0.51 million sq. ft. during the quarter. In the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, Kolte-Patil continues to expand into new micro markets, including the recent launch of Serenova in Versova, which has received positive customer response.

Mr Patil noted that revenue recognition under the Completed Contract Method results in variability across quarters; however, construction progress remains on schedule and is expected to reflect in upcoming financial periods. He added that the company is positioned for sustained, quality-led expansion backed by strong fundamentals and an institutional shareholder base.

Kolte-Patil expects the groundwork laid this year—including disciplined execution, market expansion, and customer-focused innovation—to support long-term, sustainable growth.
