09 Apr 2026 CW Team

Prestige Estates Projects Limited (Prestige Estates) reported record annual pre-sales for fiscal year twenty six, with pre-sales totalling Rs 300,240 million (mn), representing a seventy six per cent year-on-year increase. The company recorded Rs 76,970 million (mn) in pre-sales in the fourth quarter, up ten per cent year-on-year. This marks the first time the company has crossed Rs 300,000 million in annual pre-sales and reflects an expansion in scale across its operations.

Sales momentum remained consistent across new launches and ongoing inventory as consumer demand stayed resilient for well located, high quality developments. The company cited steady traction in its principal markets, including Bengaluru, NCR, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Chennai. Performance was underpinned by contributions from both standalone residential projects and mixed use developments.

The chairman and managing director noted that demand across key markets had been encouraging and that the company would continue to prioritise quality, location and timely execution. Management indicated that a robust pipeline of upcoming launches across geographies supported optimism about sustaining momentum in the coming year. The firm emphasised a disciplined and measured approach to growth while scaling its presence across major urban centres.

As at December 2025, the group had delivered 313 projects spanning 206 million square feet (mn sq ft) and maintained a pipeline of 128 projects across 195 million square feet (mn sq ft). The company attributed the strong annual outcome to its execution capabilities and market depth, and said it would continue to focus on delivering projects to meet end user needs. The results position the group to leverage its inventory and pipeline as it advances further into the new fiscal period.
