Prestige Estates Projects Limited reported a significant reduction in its net debt during the first nine months of FY26, supported by strong operating cash flows and improved collections, according to its Q3 & 9M FY26 investor presentation.
As of December 2025, Prestige Estates’ net debt stood at ₹4,750 crore, reflecting a continued downward trend compared with earlier periods. The company attributed the improvement to robust residential sales, steady annuity income from office and retail assets, and disciplined capital allocation across projects.
During 9M FY26, Prestige Estates recorded cash collections of ₹13,200 crore, providing healthy liquidity to fund construction activity, land payments and debt servicing. The strong inflow of cash enabled the company to reduce leverage while maintaining progress across its residential, commercial and retail portfolios.
The company’s gross debt position was largely balanced by cash and cash equivalents, resulting in a controlled net debt profile. Prestige Estates highlighted that its debt maturity schedule remains well distributed, with no major near-term repayment pressure, allowing operational flexibility as new projects move through development phases.
Annuity income from office leasing and retail assets continued to provide predictable cash flows during the period, supporting balance sheet stability. The company’s diversified business model — spanning residential development, commercial leasing and retail assets — helped mitigate sector-specific risks and ensured steady revenue streams.
Prestige Estates maintained that its approach to debt management remains conservative, with a focus on funding growth primarily through internal accruals and calibrated borrowing. New investments and land acquisitions are being aligned with cash flow visibility and project execution timelines to avoid balance sheet stress.
The company also reiterated its intent to further optimise capital structure over the medium term, supported by a strong launch pipeline, sustained demand across core markets and improving operating efficiencies. With multiple residential projects under development and annuity assets continuing to perform steadily, Prestige Estates expects to maintain financial discipline while pursuing growth opportunities.
The reduction in net debt underscores the company’s emphasis on financial stability as it scales its development portfolio across major Indian real estate markets.
