Kolte-Patil Developers, a major player in Pune's real estate market, saw its shares climb 15% to ₹398 on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) following a robust operational update for Q4 FY26. The company reported sales of ₹714 crore, which is an 18% increase from the previous quarter and a 13% rise year-on-year. This growth was attributed to a strong response to new project launches and consistent demand for existing properties, particularly from its flagship integrated township, Life Republic, which contributed 0.37 million sq ft of sales in the quarter. The average price realisation also improved, reaching ₹9,601 per sq ft, a 10% sequential increase and 21% higher than the previous year. Total collections for the quarter were ₹834 crore, with annual collections reaching ₹2,689 crore, reflecting a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19%. Additionally, Kolte-Patil expanded its portfolio with new projects in Bhugaon, valued at approximately ₹2,250 crore. The strategic acquisition of a 40% stake by Blackstone is expected to enhance the company's governance and operational efficiencies moving forward.
