Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], August 9: Puravankara Limited (NSE: PURVA | BSE: 532891), one of India's most trusted and admired real estate developers, announced its financial results for the first quarter (Q1FY26) ending June 30, 2025.
In Q1FY26, the company recorded sales of Rs 1,124 crores, up 6% year-on-year, on sales volume of 1.25 million sq. ft. The average realisation rose 9% to Rs 8,988 per sq. ft, while collections stood at Rs 857 crores.
Commenting on the company's performance, Mr Ashish Puravankara, Managing Director, Puravankara Limited, said, "This year marks our Golden Jubilee, and we are proud of the trust our customers have placed in us as well as the milestones we have achieved on this journey. In this quarter, we delivered a strong performance, with a 6% year-on-year increase in pre-sales, supported by healthy customer interest in our ongoing projects. Healthy collections for the quarter underscore the continued confidence that homebuyers have in our developments.
Our handovers and sales were less than our expectations due to regulatory changes, including e-Khata and changes in byelaws. However, our team is confident of achieving the scheduled handover and launches.
Our recent land acquisitions with an aggregate GDV potential of Rs 6,400 crores have further strengthened our growth pipeline. In Mumbai, redevelopment continues to gain traction, with our appointment as the preferred developer for eight housing societies in Chembur (GDV over Rs 2,100 crores). In the South, we have entered a JV for a 24.59-acre parcel near the airport in North Bengaluru (GDV over Rs 3,300 crores) and signed a JDA for a 5.5-acre parcel in Balegere, East Bengaluru (GDV over Rs 1,000 crores). These additions diversify our portfolio and position us strongly for sustained growth."
