revenue

Future growth expectations in sales/revenue/volumes?

- The senior living market in India is seen as a huge growth opportunity with increasing demand for luxury independent living among the wealthy aspirational population. Revenue potential is expected to be "very healthy and very strong" though still early to predict exact numbers. (Page 17-18) - New launches for FY '27 have a GDV broadly similar to FY '26 (around INR 8,000 crores), with presales expected to be similar or slightly lower than FY '26 due to product mix and absorption rates. (Page 17) - The company targets improving business development (BD) to increase project pipelines but acknowledges some slippage in reaching earlier ambitious sales booking targets, possibly pushing INR 15,000 crores target from FY '28 to FY '29. (Page 12) - Sustenance sales expected to remain strong but no specific guidance given for FY '27 due to market uncertainties. (Page 4) - Commercial projects in Worli and redevelopment in Khar are planned, expected to start construction this year, adding to growth potential. (Page 12-13) Overall, cautious optimism with emphasis on sustainable, quality growth rather than aggressive scale.
