Industry overview
India’s real estate sector has been a cornerstone of the economy, consistently contributing over 7% to the overall Gross Value Added (GVA) in the past decade. The sector has undergone a significant transformation over the last two decades, driven by technological advancements, a maturing investment landscape, and regulatory reforms. As CY 2020 approached, the industry was poised for growth after navigating through disruptions such as demonetization, GST implementation, RERA, and the NBFC crisis. However, the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent nationwide lockdown disrupted this momentum, causing turmoil in the markets and distress in the realty industry.
The current residential sector is well-positioned for continued expansion characterized by a solidifying foundation, favourable macroeconomic conditions, rapid urbanization, and rising household incomes resulting in a strong affinity for homeownership among prospective buyers. Despite the general elections and accelerating home prices in CY 2024, the market demonstrated a strong undercurrent of demand, with record sales volumes achieved in CY 2024. RBI’s cumulative 125 bps repo rate reduction in CY 2025 translated into lower home loan rates, reducing EMI burdens and expanding affordability to boost property sales. Sales volumes reached a healthy 287,433 units in CY 2025, though this reflected an 11% Y-o-Y decline from the record levels of CY 2024. Despite a temporary moderation observed during Q1 2026, it anticipates sales momentum to improve in subsequent quarters as property prices stabilize and buyers adjust to current market conditions.
With the fundamentals in place, the market is estimated to witness healthy momentum during CY 2026 and medium term (2027-2028F) driven by strong developer confidence reflected in launch activity, enhanced access to housing finance and sustained demand for quality housing. Moreover, strategic land acquisition in prime locations and along growth corridors is expected to strengthen the supply of residential properties across cities. Established developers are anticipated to explore new markets to diversify their portfolio and broaden their market reach. Additionally, the launch of diverse product offerings such as plotted developments, low-rise apartments, row houses, and villaments is expected to gain momentum.

The group has carried forward this foundation, delivering marquee projects such as Runwal Bliss, Runwal Gardens and Runwal My City. Notably, the launch of approximately 5,875 residential units between January 2023 and March 31, 2026, has demonstrated its ability to meet the housing needs of a wide range of buyers across various segments and with 6,309 units sold within this period, it has solidified its position as one of the largest and most trusted residential real estate developers in Mumbai.

These projects are located in the micro-markets of the eastern, northern, western and central suburbs of Mumbai, and near Alibaug, outside of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.
Ability to sell at premium pricing and throughout the construction phase: The company’s status as a renowned developer enables it to command premium pricing in some of the micro markets in Mumbai, such as Kanjurmarg and Mulund. This is consistent with the shift in consumer preference towards branded developers since the COVID-19 pandemic. This growing preference is evident in: (i) homebuyers showing a stronger preference for investing in projects developed by established developers with a proven track record; (ii) lenders focusing on tier 1 developers with a well-established track record, aiming to minimize the risk of default; and (iii) landowners increasingly opting to partner exclusively with Grade A developers.
Risks and concerns
Concentration of projects in Mumbai: As of March 31, 2026, 66.65% of the company’s real estate development projects were located in Mumbai. Consequently, it faces risks stemming from economic, regulatory and other changes, including natural disasters in these areas affecting the performance of the real estate market in Mumbai, which might adversely impact its business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

Failure to complete these projects or future projects within their expected timelines, or at all, and any cost overruns could adversely affect its business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations.
Project approval and licensing risk: The development plans for all of its 33 Upcoming Projects are still pending finalization and approval. Any difficulties in fulfilling certain conditions precedent in respect of its projects, and any delay or failure to obtain required approvals or renewal of approvals may require it to reschedule its Ongoing Projects and Upcoming Projects which may have an adverse effect on its operations. Further, the company has to stop the construction activity in the event of withdrawal of such licenses/approval.
High capital requirements and financing risk: The company’s business is highly capital-intensive, necessitating significant expenditure for land acquisition and development. Consequently, it relies substantially on the availability of real estate financing, which might not always be accessible on terms favorable to the company, if at all, in a timely manner.

Additionally, the ongoing construction of the Coastal Road, linking Bandra to Kandivali, promises to enhance connectivity and boost the appeal of sea-facing properties in western Mumbai, thereby propelling the region's real estate market.
