Notable competitors include DLF, Godrej Properties, Prestige Estates, Phoenix Mills, Oberoi Realty, Brigade Enterprises, and Anant Raj, which also rank highly in terms of market cap.
The company raised around Rs.730 crore through its initial public offering (IPO), which was met with strong demand, being subscribed 11.88 times.

In the fiscal year 2023-24, Signature Global achieved pre-sales bookings of Rs.7,270 crore and is now aiming for Rs.10,000 crore in pre-sales for 2024-25.
The average sales realization has also seen an upward trend, rising to Rs.15,369 per square foot in Q1 FY25 from Rs.11,762 per square foot in FY24. This growth underscores the company’s strong market presence and pricing power.
Moreover, Signature Global’s collections surged by 102%, reaching Rs.1,210 crore, marking the highest quarterly collection since the company’s inception in 2014. This robust financial performance demonstrates the effectiveness of its business strategies and market positioning.
With a significant footprint in Gurugram, the company is now planning to expand into Delhi, Noida, and Greater Noida, further enhancing its market reach. This strategic expansion aligns with its vision to capitalize on growth opportunities in key urban areas.
Stock analysts remain optimistic about Signature Global's future prospects. Recently, Motilal Oswal issued a buy rating for the stock with a target price of Rs 2,000.
The firm highlighted the company's ability to adapt to changing market demands, strong execution capabilities, and a robust project pipeline of approximately 30 million square feet slated for launch over the next two years as key reasons for their positive outlook.
