Its net profit stood at Rs 29.03 crore in the year-ago period, the Delhi-based developer said in a statement.

Omaxe Chairman and Managing Director Rohtas Goel said the real estate sector is "slowly witnessing steady recovery in the aftermath of demonetisation and as has been the case for some time now, tier II and III cities continue to outperform metros."
Since, Omaxe major thrust areas are tier II and III cities, the company has been performing better than the industry, he added.
During the financial year 2016-17, Omaxe booked 3.20 million sq.Ft of space valued at Rs 946 crore and delivered 5 million sq.Ft at various locations.
