Sobha Ltd, one of India’s prominent real estate developers, reported a steep decline in profitability for the third quarter, underscoring the persistent challenges facing the property sector. Net profit fell 29 percent year-on-year to Rs. 15.42 crore, weighed down by higher costs, subdued demand in select markets, and tighter financing conditions. While the company continued to maintain operational momentum through project execution and sales activity, margin compression and elevated input expenses dampened overall earnings.
