DLF Ltd has reported impressive sales figures for its super-luxury project 'The Dahlias' in Gurugram, contributing significantly to the company's robust performance in the first half of the fiscal year 2024-25. However, the company's second-quarter results show a mixed picture with a decline in profit and revenue.

The Dahlias: A Blockbuster Launch

DLF's 'The Dahlias' project, launched in October at DLF Phase 5, Gurugram, has seen remarkable success:

The project's popularity among high-net-worth individuals is evident, with one notable transaction involving a businessman purchasing four apartments totaling 35,000 sq ft for Rs 380.00 crore.

H1 FY2024-25 Performance

DLF's overall sales bookings have shown substantial growth:

The company is on track to achieve its annual pre-sales guidance of Rs 20,000-22,000 crore, bolstered by existing inventories and upcoming launches.

Q2 FY2024-25 Financial Results

Despite strong sales, DLF's Q2 financial results show some challenges:

Outlook

Despite the dip in quarterly profits, DLF remains optimistic about its future performance. The success of 'The Dahlias' and the strong overall sales bookings in the first half of the fiscal year provide a solid foundation for the company's growth trajectory.

The real estate market, particularly in the luxury segment, appears to be robust, as evidenced by the high-value transactions in 'The Dahlias' project. This trend could potentially offset any short-term fluctuations in the company's financial performance.

As DLF continues to leverage its existing inventory and plan new launches, investors and market watchers will be keen to see if the company can maintain its sales momentum and improve its profitability in the coming quarters.

DLF Limited has unveiled ambitious growth plans, targeting ₹210 billion in annual pre-sales with a projected 20% year-on-year growth. The company aims to achieve this through an expanding launch pipeline across key markets including Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), Gurgaon, and Chennai.

Rental Portfolio Expansion

DLF has set its sights on significant growth in its rental business. The company plans to expand its rental portfolio to 50 million square feet by the fiscal year 2027 (FY27). This expansion aligns with the company's strategy to boost its recurring income streams.

Financial Performance

The company reported strong financial results:

The robust net cash position of ₹7,700.00 crore provides DLF with a solid foundation to support dividend payments and fund new project expansions.

Credit Rating Upgrade

In a vote of confidence for DLF's financial health, CRISIL has upgraded the company's credit rating to AA+. This upgrade reflects the company's strong financial position and consistent business performance.

Q2FY26 Financial Highlights

DLF Limited has released its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026:

The company's net profit saw a significant quarter-on-quarter increase of 53%, rising to ₹1,171.00 crore in Q2FY26.

Dividend Declaration

In its 60th Annual General Meeting held on August 4, 2025, DLF declared a dividend of ₹6.00 per equity share (on a face value of ₹2.00 per share), amounting to a total payout of ₹1,485.19 crore.

DLF's strategic focus on expanding its development business while growing its rental portfolio demonstrates the company's commitment to balanced growth. With a strong cash position and upgraded credit rating, DLF appears well-positioned to execute its growth plans in the coming years.
