Prestige Estates reported a 48% year-on-year (YoY) jump in Q4 sales, reaching ₹6,957.4 crore, making it one of the real estate giant’s strongest quarters to date. The Bengaluru-based company sold 4.49 million square feet during the quarter, a 9% YoY rise, backed by strong buyer interest and higher price realizations.
What does this mean for homebuyers and investors?
For the average buyer, this signals one thing: real estate demand is still hot, especially for premium and well-located properties. Prices are climbing, with the average realization for apartments, villas, and commercial spaces hitting ₹15,524 per sq ft—a solid 25% increase YoY. For plotted developments, prices jumped 27% to ₹6,975 per sq ft.
In simpler terms? Quality homes are getting pricier, and faster. If you’re on the fence about investing, the market may not wait for you.
Collections Down, But Launches Up
Despite the sharp rise in sales, collections for the quarter dipped 9% YoY to ₹3,155 crore. This dip could be a temporary hiccup, possibly tied to back-ended payment plans or slower conversion cycles.
On the brighter side, Prestige launched four major projects across Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad, covering 14.03 million square feet. The combined potential gross development value (GDV)? A staggering ₹16,133.8 crore.
That’s not a small bet—it’s a big swing at India’s evolving urban appetite.

Full-Year Figures Reflect Delayed Launches
The company’s full-year sales told a slightly different story. Prestige Estates clocked ₹17,023 crore in FY25 new sales, down 19% YoY. This drop was largely due to approval delays, which pushed several launches into FY26.
Sales volume for the year fell 38% to 12.58 million square feet, but annual collections stayed mostly flat at ₹12,084 crore—a modest 1% growth over FY24.
As Irfan Razack, CMD of Prestige Group, noted:
“Despite delays in approvals, we saw strong traction in the final quarter. FY26 will be a defining year with launches in NCR and first residential completions in Mumbai.”
Office and Retail Segments Stay Strong
Prestige’s commercial and retail arms delivered steady performance:
- Office leasing hit 4.1 million sq ft for FY25.
- Occupancy levels in the office portfolio remained above 90%.
- Retail GTO stood at ₹2,264 crore, with footfalls crossing 18 million.
- Retail occupancy across malls was nearly full—at 99%.
Clearly, India’s return to office life and mall hopping is more than just a trend—it’s a habit that’s here to stay.

Stock Market Reaction: Mixed Signals
Despite the upbeat Q4 numbers, Prestige’s stock dipped 1.28% to ₹1,192.45 on the BSE. It’s a reminder that the market always looks ahead—and perhaps some investors are cautious about full-year softness.
Still, with new launches lined up in NCR and Mumbai and improving buyer sentiment, Prestige seems poised for a strong FY26 comeback.
Final Word
Prestige Estates Q4 sales performance shows that Indian real estate isn’t cooling off—it’s evolving. Prices are rising, launches are expanding, and urban India is clearly ready to pay for premium. But with project approval delays and YoY declines in collections, it’s not all smooth sailing.
Still, one thing is clear: Prestige is betting big on the next phase of Indian real estate. And so far, buyers are betting with them.
