Signature Global aims to achieve zero net debt in FY26 on strong sales: Chairman
The company has reduced its net debt in the October-December quarter to Rs 740 crore, from Rs 1,020 crore at the end of the second quarter of this fiscal year.
NEW DELHI: Realty firm Signature Global is targeting to achieve zero net debt during the next fiscal year on healthy internal cash flow supported by strong consumer demand for its residential projects in Gurugram. The company has reduced its net debt in the October-December quarter to Rs 740 crore, from Rs 1,020 crore at the end of the second quarter of this fiscal year.
“We will achieve zero net debt during the next financial year,” Signature Global Chairman Pradeep Kumar Aggarwal told PTI.
He said the company has reduced its net debt significantly and would continue to do so.
Signature Global net debt stood at Rs 1,160 crore at the end of the 2023-24 financial year.
Aggarwal said the housing demand continues to be strong in Gurugram although he agreed that the “frenzy” witnessed during the past few years has subsided to some extent.
He said the company would focus on a price bracket of Rs 2-5 crore per unit. “In this price bracket there is a huge demand but limited supply.”
On an operational front, the company’s collection of funds from customers has risen 54 per cent to Rs 3,210 crore in the first nine months of this fiscal, from Rs 2,090 crore in the corresponding period of the preceding year.
Signature Global sold properties worth Rs 8,670 crore during April-December period of this fiscal, a sharp rise from Rs 3,120 crore in the year-ago period.
Average pre-sales realisation for April-December period of 2024-25 increased to Rs 12,565 per square feet, compared to Rs 11,762 per square feet in the entire 2023-24.
Signature Global has set a target of achieving sales bookings of Rs 10,000 crore in the current fiscal year, as against Rs 7,270 crore in the preceding year.
Signature Global has so far delivered 120 lakh sq ft of housing area and has a strong pipeline of 350 lakh sq ft of saleable area in its forthcoming projects, along with 158 lakh sq ft of ongoing projects.
The company has been buying land to expand its business.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I book a property in Gurgaon and NCR?
Shortlist, visit, check the papers and RERA, then pay the booking amount and sign the agreement. Read the payment plan and cancellation terms before you commit.
Do I need a lawyer to buy property in Gurgaon and NCR?
For anything beyond a simple, clean deal it helps. A lawyer vets the title, the agreement and the approvals, which is cheap insurance against a costly mistake.
What is a builder-buyer agreement?
It is the core contract between you and the developer, setting the price, payment plan, area, specifications and possession date. Read it fully before signing.
What is an occupancy certificate and why does it matter?
It certifies a building is legally fit to occupy. Never take possession of a completed home without it, since it affects loans, utilities and resale.
What is mutation and why is it important?
Mutation updates the ownership in municipal and revenue records after a sale. Without it the property tax and records still point to the old owner, so get it done.
What credit score do I need for a home loan?
Lenders prefer a healthy score, usually in the mid-700s and above, for the best rates. A lower score can still get a loan but often at a higher rate.
Can I claim tax benefits on a home loan?
Yes, home-loan principal and interest carry deductions under the income tax rules, subject to limits and conditions. Confirm the current rules or ask a tax adviser.
What is the difference between freehold and leasehold?
Freehold gives you full, permanent ownership of the property and land; leasehold runs for a fixed term from an authority. Freehold is generally simpler to resell.
How do I check a builder's track record?
Look at delivered projects, delivery delays, the RERA record and buyer reviews. A builder with a clean, on-time record lowers your risk sharply.
What red flags should I watch for when buying?
Unclear title, missing approvals or RERA, pending dues, a builder with delays, and prices far below the market. If something feels rushed, slow down and verify.
What is the difference between capital appreciation and rental yield?
Appreciation is the rise in the property value over time; rental yield is the annual rent as a share of the price. Most Indian homes give modest yield and rely on appreciation.
How much should I keep as a buffer beyond the price?
Set aside for stamp duty, registration, GST where it applies, interiors, and a contingency. A buffer of a meaningful share above the base price is prudent.
Is a home loan pre-approval useful?
Yes, a pre-approved loan tells you your budget, speeds up booking and strengthens your negotiating position with sellers. Get it before you shortlist seriously.
How do I choose between two similar projects?
Compare the builder record, RERA status, carpet area, real amenities, connectivity and total cost, not just the headline price. Visit both before deciding.
What stamp duty and registration charges apply in Gurgaon and NCR?
Stamp duty and registration vary by state and are usually a few percent of the property value, with a small rebate for women buyers in many states. Confirm the current Gurgaon and NCR rate before you budget.
How much home loan can I get to buy in Gurgaon and NCR?
Most buyers get a loan for 75-90% of the value, tied to income and credit score. Our home loan by salary guide shows the ranges.
