Gaurs Group reported that pre-sales rose 12 per cent to Rs53,470 million (mn) in the April to December period, reflecting strong housing demand. The company attributed the increase to steady consumer interest across its residential portfolio and improving buyer confidence. This performance marked a notable improvement in bookings compared with the same period last year. Affordability and targeted product offerings underpinned sustained buyer interest. Sales momentum was driven by a combination of completed inventory availability and new project rollouts, which together supported higher conversion of enquiries into confirmed bookings. The developer continued to focus on product execution and timely delivery, which management said remained central to sustaining buyer interest. The rise in pre-sales covered multiple micro markets and price segments within the group's project mix. The company also emphasised customer centricity and transparent pricing as part of its sales strategy. Stronger pre-sales enhanced near term revenue visibility and provided additional cash flow to support construction and marketing activities across ongoing developments. The company's improved booking trajectory also offered leverage to plan future launches and optimise inventory velocity without materially changing capital allocation. Analysts and industry observers viewed the trend as consistent with a broader recovery in residential demand driven by improving affordability and urban household formation. Going forward, the group indicated that it would prioritise sales quality and project execution while monitoring macroeconomic and policy developments that could affect buyer sentiment. Management plans to align inventory releases with verified demand to sustain momentum and manage funding requirements prudently. Continued focus on customer service and timely handovers was expected to underpin long term value creation for stakeholders. The group noted an imperative to balance growth with prudent financial management as market dynamics evolve.
