Commenting on the results, Mr. Vikas Oberoi, CMD, Oberoi Realty said, "Though the overall economic environment continues to remain challenging for the industry at large, we believe this will create opportunities for companies like us who have been financially prudent. Of late, the Mumbai market has experienced some sluggishness in volumes for under construction projects though there continues to be demand for ready projects. With the buoyancy in the stock markets being one of the key drivers of buyer sentiment, we expect the momentum to catch on gradually for the real estate sector and further strengthen our sales".

Oberoi Realty is a real estate developer headquartered in Mumbai.
