It is the third attempt by the company to launch its IPO. Before this, it delayed its plan twice in 2009 and 2018, citing unfavourable economic conditions.

Founded in 1995, the Mumbai based real estate developing company is the largest by residential sales. As of December, the realtor had completed 91 projects comprising approximately 77.22 square feet of developable area. The company announced an income of Rs 3,160.49 crore on December 31, 2020, and reported collecting Rs 2,500 crores in booking registration.

The real estate segment is emerging slowly from the Covid-19 pandemic that plunged it into uncertainties during the same time last year. Macrotech Developers will become the first company and first real estate developer to launch IPO in the current FY.
