DLF reports soaring demand and record sales in premium housing sector

According to DLF's FY 2022-23 annual reports, the demand for premium and luxury housing has experienced a remarkable surge, doubling over the past five years. This growth coincides with a steady increase in market share for reputed and larger players in the housing industry. DLF Chairman, Rajiv Singh, attributes this trend to heightened consumer confidence in these brands, significant financial improvements, and their ability to deliver high-quality, secure, and sustainable ecosystems.

In the fourth quarter of FY23, DLF reported a net profit of Rs 5.8 billion, marking a substantial 30 per cent year-on-year increase, mainly driven by the strong performance of its residential business. The company achieved impressive new sales bookings worth Rs 84.58 billion, showing a staggering year-on-year growth of 210 per cent. Moreover, DLF's cumulative new sales for the fiscal year reached a record-breaking Rs 150.58 billion, more than doubling the sales figures from the previous year.

The housing sector's strong demand is fuelled by several key factors, including urbanisation, improved affordability, positive consumer sentiments, and rising aspirational needs, according to Rajiv Singh. In FY22, DLF's residential business concluded with new sales bookings of Rs 72.73 billion, reflecting a notable year-on-year growth of 136 per cent for the fiscal year ending in March.

Reports indicate a significant reduction in the number of developers across India, with large developers' share increasing to 30 per cent in FY23 from 14 per cent in FY18.

DLF's focus remains on scaling up offerings and developing margin-accrual products, leading to higher gross margins for the business. Their pipeline is well diversified across various locations, including core markets such as Gurugram, Delhi NCR, Chennai, Chandigarh Tri-City, and Goa.

The office segment is expected to benefit from the growth trajectory and investment inflow, while the retail sector has experienced a rebound with improved footfall and increased consumption, particularly in the luxury segment and international brand expansions.

DLF Cyber City Developers witnessed a consolidated revenue growth of Rs 54.19 billion in FY23, reflecting a year-on-year growth of 19 per cent. The consolidated profit for the year stood at Rs 14.29 billion, showing a year-on-year growth of 43 per cent.

DLF's office segment exhibited gradual recovery during the fiscal period, with improved occupancy levels across the portfolio. Rental growth mainly resulted from mark-to-market rentals and rentals from their new asset, DLF Downtown in Gurugram.

DLF's new IT campus and data centre in Noida have received their occupancy certificates, and there are plans to expand the retail portfolio. With these new additions, DLF aims to double its retail portfolio over the next 4-5 years.

DLF has identified a strong potential for 11 million square feet of new products, with a sales potential of Rs 197 billion.
