The transcript does not explicitly mention a "current" or "expected orderbook" or "pending orders" in traditional sales terms, as Mindspace Business Parks REIT operates in real estate leasing rather than order-based business. However, relevant insights on leasing and pipeline include: - Leased ~0.9 million sq ft in Q1 FY23 (0.4 million sq ft re-leasing, 0.5 million sq ft new/vacant spaces). - Committed occupancy at 85.6%, expected to increase to over 90% by year-end. - ROFO (Right of First Offer) asset evaluation nearing closure; tenant rent generation expected to begin Oct-Nov 2022. - Chennai’s Commerzone Porur asset is leasing slower but expected significant leasing by FY23 end. - Hyderabad leasing momentum strong; physical occupancy up from 11% to 28%, expected to improve further. - Over 800,000 sq ft of lease renewals visible out of 1.1 million sq ft expiring in FY23. No explicit "pending orders," but strong leasing pipeline and tenant commitments indicate a robust demand outlook.
