New Delhi, Jan 11 (NationPress) Realty company Signature Global revealed a significant drop in its sales bookings for the December quarter, despite the housing market typically experiencing heightened demand during the festive season.
The Gurugram-based firm reported a 27% decline in sales bookings, totaling Rs 2,020 crore for the October to December period, compared to Rs 2,770 crore during the same timeframe last year, as stated in its stock exchange announcement.
During this quarter, the company managed to sell only 408 housing units, a stark decrease from 1,518 units sold a year prior.
In terms of area, sales bookings fell to 1.44 million square feet, down from 2.49 million square feet in the previous year’s quarter.
Typically, the October to December quarter is regarded as robust for real estate sales due to the festive season; however, Signature Global did not provide a detailed explanation for the decline in its regulatory filing.
One potential reason for the reduced figures could be the timing of project launches. The company introduced a major housing initiative on Dwarka Expressway towards the end of December, which may have restricted sales in the quarter.
For the first nine months of the current financial year, Signature Global witnessed a 23% decrease in sales bookings, amounting to Rs 6,680 crore, compared to Rs 8,670 crore during the same duration last year.
Throughout this period, the company sold 1,746 units, a decline from 3,539 units sold a year ago, as reported by Signature Global.
Chairman Pradeep Kumar Aggarwal commented on their performance, stating that the company had a solid showing in the first nine months of FY26, driven by consistent demand in key micro-markets.
He also highlighted that the launch of their wellness-oriented premium project, Sarvam at DXP Estate on Dwarka Expressway, received a positive response, showcasing evolving buyer preferences.
In the previous financial year, Signature Global achieved sales bookings of Rs 10,290 crore, ranking it as the fifth-largest listed real estate developer by sales.
For the ongoing fiscal year 2025–26, the company anticipates sales bookings of Rs 12,500 crore.
To reach this target, Signature Global needs to secure nearly Rs 6,000 crore in sales during the current quarter.
