Real estate consultants attributed the fall in collective sales of these listed players to factors, including no fresh launches by key companies, a high base effect, and cautious sentiment among prospective homebuyers, due to global economic uncertainties amid the West Asia conflict.

They hoped that sales numbers would revive from the second quarter onwards.

Many listed players do not report sales booking numbers, which have become an important metric to evaluate the operational performance of any company.

Revenue recognition of the sales bookings done by these developers is linked to the completion of real estate projects.

Real estate developers, which are not listed on stock exchanges, generally do not report their quarterly and annual sales bookings.
