Brigade Enterprises Q1 profit falls 56% as real estate sales drag

India's Brigade Enterprises Ltd said on Tuesday its first-quarter profit fell 56.1%, hurt by weaker sales at its core real estate segment.
 

The property developer's consolidated net profit fell to 385.3 million rupees ($4.65 million) in the quarter ended June 30 from 876.8 million rupees a year earlier, while revenue from operations fell 27.5% to 6.54 billion rupees.

KEY CONTEXT

Some Indian real estate firms are seeing sales fall as near-term demand for housing cooled off during the quarter after a year of high growth.

Real estate consulting firm Anarock said in July factors like inflation, any potential rise in interest rates and corporate layoffs could weigh on growth in the next two quarters.
