New Sales bookings stood at Rs 6,404 crore during the first quarter of 2024-25, registering an annual growth of 214 per cent. The sales bookings were driven by the second phase of its luxury project in New Gurugram- 'Privana West', which witnessed strong demand momentum and was entirely sold-out clocking Rs 5,600 crore.

The company said it continues to witness healthy sales momentum and strong growth in collections leading to further improvement in its net cash position.
