For Sobha Limited, Bengaluru has returned to normalcy and contributed 69 per cent of the total sales volume, along with meaningful contributions from other regions, especially Gurugram, Kerala and Pune.

“We are currently witnessing good sales momentum across all other regions along with Bengaluru. There is low unsold stock in Chennai, Coimbatore and Mysore regions, and hence, sales performance of these regions needs to be viewed in line with that,” the company said in a regulatory filing to exchanges.
