The Mumbai developer's September-quarter loss and flat half-year sales test its plan to close FY27 with a strong second half.
The sales figures are management's own, given on the earnings call. Booking value rose while area booked fell, so growth came from higher prices.
Net profit at DLF's office and mall joint venture rose 17% to ₹752 crore, and its net debt stands at 3.1 times EBITDA.
The FY27 figure is a forward target, not a reported result, and the company is unlisted, so investors have little market data to track.
Bookings slipped 6% in the September quarter as some launches were deferred and profit fell 62%, but the company says approvals for most of the next wave are in place.

The orders lift its EPC portfolio to about ₹858 crore, but the filing gives no customer name or timeline for the main tower.
The rating is a market view, not a regulatory action, but the developer's six-month profit is down 21.4% and its shares are down 37.7% this year.
Record pre-sales of ₹1,423 crore lifted bookings, but collections fell 19% and most of the profit rise came from joint ventures.
Revenue grew, but thinner margins and a 21.4% fall in half-year profit will keep investors focused on earnings quality.
