“We are focused on expanding both our residential and commercial businesses. Our residential business maintained its growth momentum, seeing an increase in new sales bookings and record sales growth.”
“The market response to our products continues to be very positive. With this confidence, we are expanding into new geographies like Mumbai and Goa,” he said.
As the company continues to launch new projects in the Delhi NCR, Singh said its strategy is to introduce diversified products to meet the ambitious needs of the market.
DLF has achieved strong sales bookings over the past two years, driven by a significant increase in demand for luxury homes.
The company has reported record revenue of Rs 15,058 crore in 2022-23 and revenue of Rs 14,778 crore in 2023-24.
For the current financial year (2024-25), DLF has set a target of growing sales bookings by 15 per cent to Rs 17,000 crore as it plans to launch a number of luxury residential projects in Gurugram, Goa and Mumbai.
The DLF chairman said the commercial business — development of office buildings, shopping centres — continued to perform well and occupancy rates across the portfolio increased significantly.
