DLF Limited has reported a landmark performance for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026, headlined by the successful achievement of a Zero Gross Debt status. The company recorded its highest-ever quarterly gross collections at approximately Rs 5,100 crore, a momentum that propelled the nine-month cumulative collections to Rs 10,216 crore. This robust liquidity position is further underscored by a net cash surplus of Rs 11,660 crore, reflecting a financial health so strong that ICRA recently upgraded the company’s credit rating to AA+/Stable.
On the profitability front, DLF maintained a trajectory of high-margin growth. Consolidated revenue for the quarter reached Rs 2,479 crore, while Net Profit (before exceptional items) surged by 29 per cent year-over-year to hit Rs 1,207 crore. Despite the focus on monetising existing inventory, the company remains confident in meeting its annual guidance, supported by a healthy appetite for its premium offerings and a disciplined approach to new product launches in the medium term.
The company’s annuity business, managed through DLF Cyber City Developers Limited (DCCDL), continues to provide a resilient and growing income stream. For Q3FY26, the rental arm reported a revenue of Rs 1,878 crore and an 18 per cent increase in EBITDA. The portfolio’s expansion remains a priority, evidenced by the addition of the DLF Summit Plaza in Gurugram, which brings the total retail presence to roughly 5 million square feet. With an operational portfolio of 49 million square feet and an active pipeline of under-Construction projects, DLF is well-positioned to capitalise on sustained demand for high-quality commercial and retail spaces.
