In FY24, bookings totaled ₹39.4 billion, a 22% YoY increase. The performance was bolstered by the launch of the new tower at Elysian, generating ₹8 billion in bookings in January ’24. Additionally, three units at the ultra-luxury project 360 West were booked, totaling ₹2.2 billion.
Collections surged by 26% YoY to reach ₹10.8 billion, while net debt decreased by ₹9 billion to ₹12 billion, resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.09x.
The company’s near-term launch pipeline remains robust, with domestic brokerage firm Motilal Oswal projecting a 41% CAGR in bookings from FY24 to FY26, amounting to ₹79 billion.

OBER’s completed projects, including Sky City Phase 1, 360-West, and Eternia Enigma, have the potential to collectively generate over ₹15 billion in surplus cash annually. This, coupled with the increase in rental income, provides ample resources to seize business development opportunities, according to the brokerage.
The brokerage estimates the value of the company’s residential business at ₹360–370 billion at current valuations. Additionally, the projected value of the existing pipeline, including the Gurugram project, is ₹230 billion, representing a 50–60% going concern premium, which already factors in prospective business development in the near term, said the brokerage.

Motilal Oswal revised its target price on the stock to ₹1,435 apiece but retained its ‘Neutral’ rating on the stock. Similarly, Kotak Institutional Equities also lifted its target price on the stock to ₹1,375 apiece with a ‘reduce’ rating.
“Oberoi Realty has a large inventory of completed/near-completed assets at Three Sixty West (Worli), Eternia and Enigma (Mulund), as well as Sky City (Borivali), which will likely yield very healthy cash generation. Oberoi has upcoming launches at Pokhran Road (3QFY25) as well as Gurgaon (FY2026E), which marks Oberoi’s maiden venture outside Mumbai. We believe the CMP adequately reflects the positives, even as the company has lagged the peer set on growth in development business,” said the brokerage.
