About DLF and Its Recent Sales Momentum
DLF Limited, India’s largest listed real estate developer, has recorded a remarkable performance in the first half of FY26. The company’s sales bookings rose over 2-fold to ₹15,757 crore during April–September, reflecting strong appetite for luxury and upper-mid housing across metro cities.
This impressive growth is largely attributed to sustained demand for high-end residences, especially in DLF’s Gurugram projects such as The Arbour and new luxury launches in South India. The company’s focus on brand trust, premium design, and execution has continued to attract affluent buyers and NRIs alike.
