Godrej Properties, part of the Godrej Group, posted a loss of Rs 192 crore in Q4FY21 as compared to a profit of Rs 102 crore in Q4FY20 owing to weak home sales in top cities.

In Q3FY21, its profits declined 69 per cent and revenues were down 55 per cent.

Pirojsha Godrej, executive chairman, Godrej Properties said: "While the real estate sector like all parts of the economy has been impacted by the second wave, we expect the sector will continue the robust recovery it was witnessing once this crisis abates. In Q4, we are pleased to have delivered our best ever quarterly performance in terms of the value of real estate sold and cash collections generated from our customers. Given our robust launch pipeline, strong balance sheet, and interesting new project acquisition opportunities, we expect a strong FY22.”
