“This is the highest-ever annual sales announced to date by any publicly listed real estate developer in India. This was achieved through the sale of 14,310 homes with a total area of 20 million square feet,” the company said.
Sales were driven by superlative consumer demand in some key new project launches. Godrej Zenith in NCR achieved a booking value of more than ₹3,000 crore and Godrej Reserve in MMR achieved a booking value of ₹2,690 crore, it said.
In FY24, four projects (including Godrej Aristocrat launched in Q3 and Godrej Tropical Isle launched in Q2) achieved over ₹2,000 crore booking value. GPL’s bookings in NCR in FY 24 grew 180% to over ₹10,000 crore and GPL’s bookings in MMR grew 114% to over ₹6,500 crore.
“We are delighted with the scale up we have achieved in the past two years. The sales bookings of over ₹9,500 crore in Q4FY24 surpasses our annual bookings in FY22. We achieved a growth of 84% in FY24 to register bookings of over ₹22,500 crore. We are pleased that this sales growth was on the back of both an improving project mix as well as strong volume growth of 31%,” said Gaurav Pandey, MD and CEO, Godrej Properties.
The company continues to have a strong launch pipeline for the current year, which will be bolstered by its recent entry into the Hyderabad market.
