Revenue fell 69% to Rs 1,351 crore as downturn in real estate sector has dramatically slowed sales. DLF said the price reductions for existing customers in its projects will have a total revenue impact of Rs 688 crore and profit before tax impact of Rs 302 crore.

DLF has reduced prices for some of its projects in Gurgaon, Chennai and Bangalore. DLF said it was exiting non-strategic businesses, including wind power, where it has received response from potential buyers and a due diligence was underway.
