DLF Ltd reported total sales bookings of ₹16,176 crore during the April-December period of the 2025-26 financial year, according to recent news reports. A part of these bookings came from overseas buyers purchasing residential properties across the company’s projects. 

Non-resident Indians (NRIs) purchased properties worth about ₹5,247 crore during the 9-month period. This represented roughly 32.5% of the company’s overall pre-sales during the same timeframe. 

Rising Share of Overseas Buyers 

The share of NRI buyers in the company’s sales has increased in recent years. According to DLF Home Developers Managing Director and Chief Business Officer Aakash Ohri, overseas buyers accounted for about 5% of the company’s sales 3 years ago. 

Their share has since risen to around 30% in the current financial year. Industry estimates indicate that across 7 major housing markets in India, NRI buyers generally account for about 10-15% of residential sales.

In the 2023-24 financial year, the company reported pre-sales of ₹14,778 crore. Overseas buyers contributed about ₹3,400 crore, or around 23%, to the total bookings during that period.
