Signature Global Reports Quarterly Loss Amid Real Estate Market Softness
Real estate developer Signature Global has reported a consolidated net loss of Rs 45.33 crore for the quarter ended December 2024, marking a significant downturn from the net profit of Rs 29.13 crore recorded during the same period in the previous fiscal year.

Sharp Decline in Total Income
According to a regulatory filing submitted on Tuesday, Signature Global's total income plummeted to Rs 312.76 crore during the October-December period of the current fiscal year. This represents a substantial drop from the Rs 862.14 crore reported in the corresponding quarter of the preceding year, highlighting the pressures facing the real estate sector.
Steady Performance Amid Market Challenges
Pradeep Aggarwal, Founder and Chairman of Signature Global (India) Ltd, acknowledged the market softness but emphasized the company's resilience. "While the real estate market has witnessed some softness, the current environment clearly favours developers with a proven track record of delivering quality homes and truly consumer-centric offerings," he stated.
Aggarwal noted that the company has continued to deliver steady performance during the first nine months of this fiscal year, underscoring its operational strength despite broader economic headwinds.
Robust Demand for Wellness-Centric Project
A bright spot in the company's portfolio is the recently launched wellness-centric project, Sarvam at DXP Estate. Aggarwal highlighted that this development has received robust demand, reflecting evolving buyer preferences towards thoughtfully designed, health-focused living spaces.

Track Record and Market Position
Signature Global has established itself as one of the leading real estate developers in India, with a delivered portfolio of 16.5 million square feet of real estate. The company emerged as the fifth largest listed realty firm during the 2024-25 fiscal year in terms of sales bookings, achieving a record sales bookings figure of Rs 10,290 crore last fiscal year.
Sales Guidance and Market Realities
For the current fiscal year, Signature Global had set an ambitious sales bookings guidance of Rs 12,500 crore. However, due to slow housing demand in Gurugram, the company is unlikely to achieve this target. Despite this setback, Signature Global remains confident of matching the sales bookings number from the last fiscal year, demonstrating its adaptability in a fluctuating market.
As the real estate sector navigates through periods of adjustment, Signature Global's emphasis on quality, innovation, and customer-centric projects positions it to capitalize on emerging trends and sustain growth in the years to come.
