Certain Conventions
All references to ‘India’ contained in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus are to the Republic of India. All references to the
‘Government’, ‘Indian Government’, ‘GoI’, ‘Central Government’ are to the Government of India and all references to the
‘State Government’ are to the government of the relevant state.
Unless stated otherwise, any time mentioned in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus is in Indian Standard Time. Unless stated
otherwise, all references to page numbers in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus are to the page numbers of this Draft Red
Herring Prospectus.
Financial Data
Our Company’s financial year commences on April 1 of the immediately preceding calendar year and ends on March 31 of
that particular calendar year. Accordingly, all references to a particular Fiscal or Financial Year, unless stated otherwise,
are to the 12 month period commencing on April 1 of the immediately preceding calendar year and ending on March 31 of
that particular calendar year.
Unless stated, or, the context requires, otherwise all financial information and financial ratios in this Draft Red Herring
Prospectus is derived from our Restated Consolidated Financial Information. The restated consolidated financial
information of our Company, its Subsidiaries and its Associates which comprise the restated consolidated statement of
assets and liabilities as at March 31, 2023, March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, the restated consolidated statement of profit
and loss, the restated consolidated statement of cash flows, the restated consolidated statement of changes in equity and the
basis of preparation and significant accounting policies for the financial year ended March 31, 2023, March 31, 2022 and

Information’ on page 261.
Non-GAAP Measures
Certain non-GAAP measures included and presented in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, for instance EBITDA, Net Debt
– Equity ratio, and Net Debt – EBITDA ratio (Non-GAAP Measures), are supplemental measures of our performance and
liquidity that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, Ind AS, IFRS or U.S. GAAP. Furthermore, these Non-
GAAP Measures, are not a measurement of our financial performance or liquidity under Indian GAAP, IFRS or U.S. GAAP
and should not be considered as an alternative to net profit/loss, revenue from operations or any other performance measures
derived in accordance with Ind AS, IFRS or U.S. GAAP or as an alternative to cash flow from operations or as a measure
of our liquidity. In addition, Non-GAAP Measures used are not a standardised term, hence a direct comparison of Non-
GAAP Measures between companies may not be possible. Other companies may calculate Non-GAAP Measures differently
from us, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. See ‘Risk Factor - We have included certain non-GAAP financial
and operational measures related to our operations and financial performance that may vary from any standard
methodology that may be applicable across the industry in which we operate, and which may not be comparable with
financial, operational or industry related statistical information of similar nomenclature computed and presented by similar
companies’ on page 51.
There are significant differences between Ind AS, U.S. GAAP and IFRS. See ‘Risk Factor – Significant differences exist
between Ind AS and other accounting principles, such as U.S. GAAP and IFRS, which may be material to the Restated
Consolidated Financial Information prepared and presented in accordance with SEBI ICDR Regulations contained in this
Draft Red Herring Prospectus’. Our Company does not provide reconciliation of its financial information to IFRS or U.S.
GAAP. Our Company has not attempted to explain those differences or quantify their impact on the financial data included
in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus and it is urged that you consult your own advisors regarding such differences and their
impact on our financial data. Accordingly, the degree to which the financial information included in this Draft Red Herring
Prospectus will provide meaningful information is entirely dependent on the reader’s level of familiarity with Indian
accounting policies and practices, the Companies Act, Ind AS, and the SEBI ICDR Regulations. Any reliance by persons
not familiar with Indian accounting policies and practices on the financial disclosures presented in this Draft Red Herring
Prospectus should, accordingly, be limited.
15
In this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, any discrepancies in any table between the total and the sums of the amounts listed
are due to rounding off. Except as stated otherwise, all figures in decimals have been rounded off to the second decimal and
all percentage figures have been rounded off to two decimal places.
Any figures sourced from third-party industry sources may be rounded off to other than two decimal points to conform to
their respective sources.
In this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, unless the context otherwise requires, all references to ‘Rupees’ or ‘₹’ or ‘Rs.’ or
‘INR’ are to Indian rupees, the official currency of the Republic of India.
Our Company has presented certain numerical information in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus in ‘million’ units, or in
absolute number where the number have been too small to present in million unless as stated, otherwise, as applicable. 1
million represents ‘10 lakhs’ or 1,000,000. However, where any figures that may have been sourced from third-party
industry sources are expressed in denominations other than million, such figures appear in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus
expressed in such denominations as provided in their respective sources.
Any percentage amounts (excluding certain operational data), as set forth in ‘Risk Factors’, ‘Our Business’, ‘Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operation’ on pages 28, 198, and 338, elsewhere in this
Draft Red Herring Prospectus, unless otherwise indicated, have been calculated based on our Restated Consolidated
Financial Information.
Unless otherwise indicated, industry and market data used in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus has been obtained or derived
from publicly available information as well as the Anarock Report titled ‘Real Estate Industry Report’ dated August 2023,
prepared and issued by Anarock, appointed by us pursuant to a service agreement dated June 6, 2023, and exclusively
commissioned and paid for by us in connection with the Issue. A copy of the Anarock Report is available on the website of
our Company at https://arkade.in/investor-relations/. Anarock was appointed by our Company and is not connected to our
Company, our Directors, our Promoter, our Key Managerial Personnel, and members of senior management of our
Company. For risks in relation to commissioned reports, see ‘Risk Factor - This Draft Red Herring Prospectus contains
information from an industry report prepared by Anarock which we have commissioned and paid for’ on page 50.
Except for the Anarock Report, we have not commissioned any report for purposes of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus
and any market and industry related data, other than that extracted or obtained from the Anarock Report, used in this Draft
Red Herring Prospectus has been obtained or derived from publicly available documents and other industry sources.
The data used in industry sources and publications may have been re-classified by us for the purposes of presentation. Data
from these sources may also not be comparable. The data used in the industry sources and publication involves risks
uncertainties and numerous assumptions and is subject to change based on various factors, including those discussed in the
‘Risk Factors’ on page 28. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on, or base their investment decision on
this information.
Further, the extent to which the market and industry data used in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus is meaningful depends
on the reader’s familiarity with and understanding of the methodologies used in compiling such data. There are no standard
data gathering methodologies in the industry in which we conduct our business, and methodologies and assumptions may
vary widely among different industry sources. In addition, certain data in relation to our Company used in this Draft Red
Herring Prospectus has been obtained or derived from the Anarock Report which may differ in certain respects from our
Restated Consolidated Financial Information as a result of, inter alia, the methodologies used in compiling such data.
Accordingly, investment decision should not be made based on such information.
“Anarock has taken due care and caution in preparing the Report in an independent and objective manner based on
information obtained from sources generally believed to be reliable, accurate and complete. The Report is also based on
such underlying assumptions. However, the Report is subject to various limitations and based upon certain assumptions
that are subjective in nature including that the Report is not based on comprehensive market research of the overall market
16
for all possible situations, and that changes in socio-economic and political conditions could result in a substantially
different situation than those presented. Anarock has taken all reasonable care to ensure the Report's accuracy and
completeness. We believe that this Report presents a true and fair view of the industry, however, it does not purport to be
exhaustive. The forecasts, estimates and other forward-looking statements in the Report depend on factors like the recovery
of the economy, evolution of consumer sentiments, the competitive environment, amongst others, leading to significant
uncertainty, all of which cannot be reasonably and accurately accounted for. Actual results and future events could differ
materially from such forecasts, estimates, or such statements.”
In accordance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations, the section ‘Basis for Issue Price’ on page 104, includes information
relating to our peer group companies and industry averages. Such information has been derived from publicly available
sources. Such industry sources and publications are also prepared based on information as at specific dates and may no
longer be current or reflect current trends. Industry sources and publications may also base this information on estimates
and assumptions that may prove to be incorrect.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Draft Red Herring Prospectus contains certain ‘forward-looking statements’ which are not historical facts. These
forward-looking statements generally can be identified by words or phrases such as ‘aim’, ‘anticipate’, ‘believe’, ‘can’,
‘could’, ‘expect’, ‘estimate’, ‘intend’, ‘may’, ‘likely’, ‘objective’, ‘plan’, ‘propose’, ‘project’, ‘seek to’, ‘will’, ‘will
continue’, ‘will pursue’ or other words or phrases of similar import but are not the exclusive means of identifying such
statements. Similarly, statements that describe our strategies, objectives, plans, goals, future events, future financial
performance, or financial needs are also forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks,
uncertainties, expectations, and assumptions about us that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
contemplated by the relevant forward-looking statement.
These forward-looking statements, whether made by us or a third-party, are based on our current plans, estimates,
presumptions and expectations and actual results may differ materially from those suggested by forward-looking statements
due to risks or uncertainties associated with expectations relating to, inter alia, regulatory changes pertaining to the industry
in India in which we operate and our ability to respond to them, our ability to successfully implement our strategy, our
growth and expansion, our exposure to market risks, general economic and political conditions in India which have an
impact on its business activities or investments, the monetary and fiscal policies of India, inflation, deflation, unanticipated
turbulence in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices or other rates or prices, the performance of the financial
markets in India and globally, changes in domestic laws, regulations and taxes and changes in competition in the industry
in which we operate.
Certain important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include, but are not limited
to, the following:
• We may not be able to successfully identify redevelopment projects or identify and acquire suitable land for our
proposed new projects which may have an adverse impact on our business and the growth of our Company;
• Inability to complete our projects by their expected completion dates or at all could have an adverse effect our business,
results of operations and financial conditions;
• We are subject to penalty clauses under the agreements entered into with our customers for any delay in the completion
of our projects;
• We do not enter into long term agreements for supply of labour and key materials for construction of our projects. Any
significant increase in the prices, or shortage of, or delay or disruption in supply of labour or key materials for our
construction may result in time or cost overruns and may impact our business prospects;
• We rely on third party contractors whom we do not control to construct our projects. Any delay or failure on the part
of such contractors to adhere to their obligations could adversely affect our financial condition and our business;
• We operate in a competitive industry. Any inability to compete effectively may lead to a lower market share or reduced
operating margins; and
• Our revenue from operation is significantly dependent on our ability to sell our units in a timely manner. If we are not
able to sell our project inventories in a timely manner, then it may adversely affect our business, results of operations
and financial condition.

SECTION II: RISK FACTORS
An investment in equity shares involves a high degree of risk. Prospective investors should carefully consider all the
information in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, including the risks and uncertainties described below, before making an
investment in our Equity Shares. The risks described in this section are not the only ones relevant to us, our business or our
Equity Shares, and there could be other risks emanating from the industry and segments in which we currently operate.
Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem not material may also impair our
business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. If any of the following risks, or a combination of risks,
or other risks that are not currently known or are currently deemed not material, actually occur, our business, results of
operations, financial condition and cash flows could be adversely affected, the trading price of our Equity Shares could
decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. To obtain a complete understanding of us and our business,
prospective investors should read this section in conjunction with ’Industry Overview’, Our Business, and ’Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations’ on pages 118, 198 and 338, respectively, as
well as the financial, operational and other information contained in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. In making an
investment decision, prospective investors must rely on their own examination of us and the terms of the Issue including the
merits and risks involved. You should consult your tax, financial and legal advisors about the particular consequences to
you of an investment in our Equity Shares.
Prospective investors should pay particular attention to the fact that our Company is incorporated under the laws of India
and is subject to a legal and regulatory environment, which may differ in certain respects from that of other countries. This
Draft Red Herring Prospectus also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, assumptions, estimates and
uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a
result of certain factors, including the considerations described below and elsewhere in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.
For details, see ’Forward-Looking Statements’ on page 18.
Unless stated or, the context requires, otherwise, the financial information of our Company has been derived from the
Restated Consolidated Financial Information included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.
Unless otherwise indicated, industry and market data used in this section has been derived from the report titled ‘Real
Estate Industry Report’ dated August 2023 prepared and issued by Anarock, appointed by us pursuant to engagement letter
dated June 6, 2023, and exclusively commissioned and paid for by us in connection with the Issue. Unless otherwise
indicated, all financial, operational, industry and other related information derived from the Anarock Report and included
herein with respect to any particular year, refers to such information for the relevant calendar year. Anarock was appointed
by our Company and is not connected to our Company, our Directors, and our Promoter. A copy of the Anarock Report is
available on the website of our Company at https://arkade.in/investor-relations/.
Unless specified or quantified in the relevant risk factors below, we are not in a position to quantify the financial or other
implications of any of the risks described in this section.
1. We may not be able to successfully identify redevelopment projects or identify and acquire suitable land for our
proposed new projects which may have an adverse impact on our business and the growth of our Company.
We are a fast growing real estate development Company with a significant presence in Mumbai, Maharashtra
(Source: Anarock Report) and we are primarily engaged in the redevelopment of existing structures and new
development projects.
Set out below is break-up of the revenue from Redevelopment Projects and New Projects in Fiscal 2023, Fiscal
2022, and Fiscal 2021.
28
Projects Fiscal 2023 Fiscal 2022 Fiscal 2021
Revenue Percentage of Revenue Percentage of Revenue Percentage of

million) million) million)
New Projects 1,288.31 58.52% 2,289.34 100% 525.60 48.55%
As certified by our Statutory Auditors, M/s Mittal & Associates, pursuant to a certificate dated August 31, 2023
The location and the area surrounding the land parcel play a pivotal role in valuation and saleability of our projects.
We follow a strict due diligence process for identifying suitable land and existing structures for our projects which
involves inter alia physical visit to the site (including the area surrounding and appurtenant the targeted site), title
search, accessibility and development potential and financial viability. Our internal assessment relies, in addition
to our due diligence procedures, on primarily the information available in the public domain, on advertisements by
societies interested in being redeveloped and the leads generated by our business team. We cannot assure you on
the reliability, accuracy and correctness of these information, and the decisions taken by our Company based on
such information may have an adverse impact on our business and our ability to complete the projects within
estimated time.
Our operations are focussed on the MMR, Maharashtra. The availability of land for development within the MMR,
Maharashtra is limited and expensive and subject to intense competition. Increased competition may lead to
shortage of land parcels that can be used for development or re-development of our projects. In addition, the use
and development of land may also be restricted by applicable laws. For instance, a land parcel deemed as an
agricultural land may not be available for use and development for residential purposes, without approval from
relevant authorities. All these factors may contribute to shortage of land parcels in the regions in which we operate
or intend to operate. Shortage of land coupled with intense competition may also increase the cost of acquisition
of land parcels which may make our projects not financially viable for us. Further, we are subject to municipal
planning and land use regulations in effect in the MMR, which limit the maximum square footage of completed
buildings we may construct on plots to specified amounts, calculated based on a ratio of the combined gross floor
area of all floors, except areas specifically exempted, to the total area of each plot of land (the floor space index,
(FSI)).
Our total developable area, Saleable RERA carpet area and the average developable area and average Saleable
RERA carpet area for our 5 Ongoing Projects i.e. Project Arkade Crown, Project Arkade Aspire, Project Arkade
Aura, Project Arkade Nest, Project Arkade Prime; and 2 Upcoming Projects i.e. Deep Shikhar C Wing CHSL and
Prachi CHSL is set out below:
We have thus far acquired single plots of land for development, but we may not be able to acquire such parcels of
lands in future which will require us to acquire contiguous land parcels which may be difficult to identify and
acquire within reasonable timelines or at a price that is acceptable to us. Failure to acquire suitable parcels of land
may impact our development plans and growth strategies. While as part of our due diligence process for identifying
suitable land parcels, we undertake title search, a failure to identify land parcels with a clear title may result in
costly litigation, divert management’s attention and resources, subject us to significant liabilities and impact our
business prospects.
2. Inability to complete our projects by their expected completion dates or at all could have an adverse effect our
business, results of operations and financial conditions.
29
We are a fast growing real estate development Company with a significant presence in Mumbai, Maharashtra
(Source: Anarock Report) Our operations are concentrated on the development of premium aspirational lifestyle
residential premises in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India’s commercial capital. As on July 31, 2023, we have developed
1.80 million square feet of residential property (including through partnership entities in which we hold the
majority stake). We are engaged in both redevelopment of existing structures and new development of residential
premises. While we have over the years developed projects at different price points, we are currently developing
projects have a very broad per unit price point ranging from ₹ 9.44 million to ₹ 62.53 million. Our average per unit
price point has increased over the years and in Fiscal 2023, Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021, our minimum price point
per unit was ₹ 6.95 million. While our initial projects were stand-alone residential buildings, our current portfolio
of ongoing projects includes gated communities such as Arkade Nest, Arkade Crown and stand-alone buildings
such as Arkade Aspire, Arkade Prime and Arkade Serene.
In the last 2 decades we have completed 27 projects (including stand-alone, projects executed by our Promoter
through their proprietorship and, or, through joint development arrangements with other third parties) aggregating
more than 4 million square feet of development and have catered to more than approximately 4,000 customers. We
are, currently, developing approximately 2 million square feet across 5 Ongoing Projects and 2 Upcoming Projects
(for which we have executed development agreements and are in the process of obtaining approvals). Our Ongoing
Projects and Upcoming Projects are located in prime locations. Set out below are some of the key aspects of our
Ongoing Projects and Upcoming Projects:
30
3. We are subject to penalty clauses under the agreements entered into with our customers for any delay in the
completion of our projects.
The agreements that we enter with certain of our customers, or the development agreements that we execute with
the members of the existing structures that we are proposing to redevelop (Development Agreement) require us to
complete development and construction on time and may provide for penalty clauses wherein we are liable to
pay penalty for any delay in the completion of project as per RERA rules or as contractually agreed between the
parties. We cannot assure you that we will always finish the construction or development of our projects in
accordance with the timelines specified in such agreements. Any inability to complete these projects in a timely
manner or at all, could result in cancellation by customers of any commitment to purchase in our projects and/ or
refund of any advance deposited with us by any customer as a guarantee for purchase in our projects, and all
these factors could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, any
delays in completing our projects as scheduled could result in dissatisfaction among our customers, resulting
in negative publicity, litigation and lack of confidence among future buyers for our projects. Additionally, we
may not be able to achieve the economic benefits expected from such projects. In the event there are any delays
in the completion of such projects, our relevant approvals may expire or be revoked.
Separately, we may also be subject to claims resulting from defects in our developments, including claims
brought under the RERA. Non-fulfilment of such conditions or other conditions stipulated in these agreements
may also expose us to the risk of liquidated damages. We may also be exposed to third-party liability claims
for injury or damage sustained on our properties. These liabilities and costs could have an adverse effect on our
business, cash flows, results of operations and reputation. While there have been no such instances in the
immediately preceding 3 Financials Years and up to the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we cannot
assure you that such instances will not occur in future. For further information, see ‘Key Regulations and Policies
in India’ on page 218. For details concerning litigation involving claims from defaults involving our
developments, see ‘Outstanding Litigation and Material Development’ on page 374.
4. We do not enter into long term agreements for supply of labour and key materials for construction of our
projects. Any significant increase in the prices, or shortage of, or delay or disruption in supply of labour or key
materials for our construction may result in time or cost overruns and may impact our business prospects.
Our cost of construction is the most significant aspect of our total expenses. Our cost of construction comprises
costs towards inter alia procurement of raw materials such as sand, cement, bricks, steel bars, doors and windows,
bathroom fixtures and interior fittings, lifts, electrical fixtures from third-party suppliers (Construction
Materials). Set out below are the particulars of our construction cost as a percentage of our total cost for Fiscal
2023, Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021.

cost
Set out below is the particulars of our construction cost as a percentage of our revenue from operations for Fiscal
2023, Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021:
Given the nature of our business operations the cost of construction will continue to be significant aspect of our
total expenses and our business operations depend on the availability of reasonably priced Construction Materials
of acceptable quality in the quantities required by us. The price and availability of such raw Construction Materials
depend on several factors beyond our control, including overall economic conditions, foreign exchange rate,
31
production levels, market demand and competition for such Construction Materials, production and transportation
cost, duties and taxes and trade and regulatory restrictions. Construction Materials, including steel and cement, are
subject to supply disruptions and price volatility caused by various factors such as commodity market fluctuations,
the quality and availability of Construction Materials, currency fluctuations, consumer demand, changes in
government policies and regulatory sanctions.
We do not enter into any long-term agreements with our vendors for supply of the Construction Materials and we
procure the Construction Materials from select vendors through work orders. The absence of long-term contracts
at fixed prices exposes us to volatility in the prices of Construction Materials that we require, and we may be unable
to pass these costs onto our customers, which may reduce our profit margins. We also face a risk that one or more
of our existing suppliers may discontinue their supplies to us, and any inability on our part to procure Construction
Materials from alternate suppliers in a timely manner, or on commercially acceptable terms, may materially
adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. If, for any reason, our select primary suppliers
of Construction Materials should curtail or discontinue their delivery of such materials to us in the quantities we
need, or on commercially acceptable terms, our scheduled for development of our projects could be disrupted, and
our business and results of operations could be adversely affected.
Further, we operate in a labour intensive industry and are dependent on third party contractors for supply of labour
for construction of our projects. If we, or the third party contractors are unable to negotiate costs with the labour
then we may experience labour unrest, strikes or work stoppages, or we may be required to expend higher than
anticipated labour costs which may increase our operating costs. We have experienced disruption in supply of
labour during Fiscal 2021 due to migration of the contract labours pursuant to imposition of lock-downs as a
consequence of COVID-19 pandemic. During period of shortage in supply of Construction Material or labour, our
timeframe to complete our projects may be impacted in addition to impacting our estimated project costs and our
business prospects and resulting in time or cost overruns.
5. We rely on third party contractors whom we do not control to construct our projects. Any delay or failure on the
part of such contractors to adhere to their obligations could adversely affect our financial condition and our
business.
Our Company avail of the services of independent contractors to execute our projects which are based on work
orders. If a contractor fails to perform its obligations satisfactorily or within the prescribed time periods with
regard to a project, or terminates its arrangement with us, we may be unable to develop the project within the
intended timeframe and within the anticipated budget. If such instances arise, we may be required to incur
additional cost or time to develop the property to meet the stringent quality standards that we expect in our
projects, which could result in reduced profits or, in some cases, significant penalties and losses, which we may
not be able to recover from the relevant independent contractor. While our work orders include provisions for
levying penalty and termination of contract for defaults and delays, we cannot assure you that such penalties
will be recovered on time or that the amounts recovered will be commensurate to the losses incurred by us.
Further, we may be subject to litigation challenging the quality of our projects, which may adversely affect our
business and reputation.
6. We operate in a competitive industry. Any inability to compete effectively may lead to a lower market share or
reduced operating margins.
We operate in a competitive industry with a number of other entities that offer competing units in projects in the
Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) and surrounding regions. For further details, see ‘Our Business –
Competition’ on page 217. We compete with international, national and regional developers for land, sale of units
in projects, manpower resources and skilled personnel. Moreover, as we seek to diversify into new geographies in
MMR and Thane Suburbs, we face the risk that some of our competitors have a pan-India presence while our other
competitors having a strong presence in certain regional markets. Some of our competitors may have certain
advantages, including greater financial, technical and, or, marketing resources, which could enhance their ability
to finance acquisitions, fund growth, and, or, operate in different geographies including micro geographies. As a
result, to remain competitive in the market we must, in addition, continue to meet expected quality standards,
continuously strive to reduce our construction costs and improve our operating efficiencies. If we fail to do so, it
may have an adverse effect on our market share and results of operations. We cannot assure you that we can
continue to effectively compete with such competitors in the future, and failure to compete effectively may have
an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Moreover, the competitive nature
32
of the industry that we operate in may result in lower prices for our units in our projects and decreased profit
margins, which may materially adversely affect our revenue and profitability.
7. Our revenue from operation is significantly dependent on our ability to sell our units in a timely manner. If we
are not able to sell our project inventories in a timely manner, then it may adversely affect our business, results
of operations and financial condition.
As a real estate development company, our revenue from operations is significantly dependent on the number of
units sold and the time taken to clear our inventories. As on July 31, 2023, March 31, 2023, March 31, 2022 and
March 31, 2021 we had unsold inventory of 0, 1, 0 and 2 units in our Completed Projects out of total of 0, 133,
180 and 245 units in our Completed Projects, respectively. Further, as on July 31, 2023, March 31, 2023, March
31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, we had an unsold inventory of 270, 355, 25 and 49 units in our Ongoing Projects
out of total of 589, 589, 133 and 251 units respectively. We cannot assure you that that we will be able to sell all
the unsold units in a timely manner or at all. If we are unable to sell such inventory at acceptable prices to our
Company and in a timely manner, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be impacted.
Further, our ability to maintain adequate cash flows and manage our working capital to fund our operations is
predicated on our ability to pre-sell our project i.e. complete sales prior to completion of the projects. Currently,
of our Ongoing Projects, 4 of which are expected to be completed in December 2025 and 1 in June 2027, our
average rate of pre-sale is 47.70% and ranges from 20.93% in Arkade Aura to 79.82% in Arkade Prime. While we
aim to sell over 90% of the saleable area of a project during the construction phase, we cannot assure you that we
will be able to meet such target with respect to all our projects. Therefore, to the extent that we are unable to pre-
sell our projects we will not be able to generate the expected revenue during the construction phase of the project
which could adversely affect our working capital funding. Also, failure to consistently meet our anticipated pre-
sell targets in our projects could adversely affect our ability to recover our capital outlay. Additionally, cancellation
of pre-sold units, for any reason whatsoever, could in addition to adversely affecting our cash flows also adversely
affect our future receivables if we are unable to find new buyers in a timely manner or at all.
8. The COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows,
liquidity and performance, and it may reduce the demand for our projects in future.
In the first half of calendar year 2020, COVID-19 spread to a majority of countries across the world, including
India. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant repercussion across local, national global economies and
financial markets.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic was felt on a global scale. At the height of the pandemic, various measures
were adopted including quarantines, prohibiting public gatherings, travel restrictions, issuing “stay-at-home”
orders and restricting the types of businesses that may continue to operate. The outbreak of COVID-19 was
recognized as a public health emergency of international concern on January 30, 2020, and as a pandemic by the
World Health Organisation on March 11, 2020. On March 14, 2020, India declared COVID-19 as a “notified
disaster” and imposed a nationwide lockdown beginning March 25, 2020. With the resurgence of the COVID-19
pandemic in April 2021, the lockdowns were imposed in various parts of India. The factors related to COVID-19
pandemic, or a future pandemic, that have had or could in the future have an impact on the business of our
Company, its financial conditions, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity and performance, includes:
• Complete or partial closure of our Ongoing Projects and other operational set-backs due to lockdowns
enforced by the government agencies, work-stoppage orders, and disruption in the supply of materials;
• Shortage of construction workers due to a mass migration of the contract labours due to imposition of
lock-downs;
• Increase in operational costs as a result of additional health and safety measures which were implemented
based on guidelines issued by the government from time to time;
• Decline in business operations and a slowdown in the sale of units of our projects;
The global and domestic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the response of government authorities and
public health officials, has evolved over time. While we have resumed to full normalcy post the set back during
the heights of COVID-19, we cannot assure you that we will successfully overcome any similar situation in the
33
future. To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic or other contagion or similar situations results in similar
circumstances, our business and financial conditions may be materially adversely affected and it may also
significantly exacerbate the effect of other risks that we are generally exposed to.
9. We have had negative cash flows in the past and it may occur in future too.
Set out below is certain information in relation to our cash flows with respect to operating activities, investing
activities and financing activities for Fiscal 2023, Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021.

As noticed above, we had negative cash flows from operating activities in Fiscals 2023 and 2022, investing and
financing activities in Fiscal 2021. We cannot assure you that such instances will not occur in the future.
10. Our operations are subject to varied business risks and our insurance cover may prove inadequate to cover our
economic losses.
Our operations are subject to various risks and hazards which may adversely affect revenue generation and
profitability. While we believe that we have taken adequate safeguards to protect our assets from various risks
inherent in our business, including by purchasing and maintaining relevant insurance cover, it is possible that our
insurance cover may not provide adequate coverage in certain circumstances. For details of our insurance, see ‘Our
Business - Insurance’ on page 216.
While we believe that we maintain sufficient insurance cover by virtue of maintaining insurance policies, certain
types of losses may be either uninsurable, not economically viable to insure or not offered for insurance. Should
an uninsured loss occur, we could lose our investment in, as well as anticipated profits and cash flows from the
asset. In addition, even if any such loss is insured, there may be a significant deductible on any claim for recovery
prior to our insurer being obligated to reimburse us for the loss, or the amount of the loss may exceed our coverage
for the loss.
While our insurance claims have not been rejected in the past, we cannot assure you that we will not face instances
where our insurance claim may be denied, in part or in whole, in the future. Further, even in the case of an insured
risk occurring we cannot assure you that we will be successful in claiming insurance in part or full, or the insurance
purchased by us may be insufficient to cover the loss occasioned by the risk. Any loss that is not covered by
insurance or for which we are unable to successfully claim insurance, or which is in excess of the insurance cover
could, in addition to damaging our reputation, have an adverse effect on our business, cash flows, financial
condition and results of operation. Further, an insurance claim once made could lead to an increase in our insurance
premium.
In addition, our insurance coverage expires from time to time. We apply for the renewal of our insurance coverage
in the normal course of our business, but we cannot assure you that such renewals will be granted in a timely
manner, at acceptable cost or at all. To the extent that we suffer loss or damage for which we did not obtain or
maintain insurance, and which is not covered by insurance or exceeds our insurance coverage or where our
34
insurance claims are rejected, the loss would have to be borne by us and our results of operations, cash flows and
financial condition may be adversely affected.
Details of our total insurance coverage vis-à-vis our net assets as at March 31, 2023, March 31, 2022 and March
31, 2021 is set out below:
(Amount in ₹ millions, unless specified otherwise)

current and non current liabilities and provisions.
11. Our future success will depend on our ability to effectively implement our business and growth strategies failing
which our results of operations may be adversely affected.
We intend to continue to expand in the eastern region and western regions of the MMR, Maharashtra and foray
into the Thane suburbs and move up the value chain to premium / luxury residential premises.
Our total developable area, Saleable RERA carpet area and the average developable area and average Saleable
RERA carpet area for our 5 Ongoing Projects, and 2 Upcoming Projects is set out below:
In addition to the successful execution of the aforementioned Ongoing Projects, our success will depend, in large
part, on our ability to effectively implement our business and growth strategies. We cannot assure you that we will
be able to execute our strategies in a timely manner or within budget estimates or that we will meet the expectations
of our clients and other stakeholders. We believe that our business and growth strategies will place significant
demands on our senior management and other resources and will require us to develop and improve operational,
financial and other internal controls. Further, our business and growth strategies may require us to incur further
indebtedness. Any inability to manage our business and growth strategies could adversely affect our business,
financial condition and results of operations. Therefore, our continued growth is intrinsically linked to our being
able to maintain adequate internal systems, processes and controls and our failure to maintain such systems could
35
be an impediment to our growth.
Our future prospects will depend on our ability to grow our business and operations, which could be affected by
many factors, including acceptance of our units in our projects by customers, maintaining the quality of our units
in projects, general political and economic conditions in the geographies in which we operate, government policies
particularly in respect of real estate sector, prevailing interest rates and price of raw materials that we use for
construction of our projects.
In addition, we believe that our ability to implement our business and growth strategies will also depend on our
ability to expand in other regions. Our inability to maintain our growth or failure to successfully implement our
growth strategies within time and cost expectations could have an adverse impact on the results of our operations,
our financial condition and our business prospects. Further, we cannot assure you that our future performance or
growth strategy will be in line with our past performance or growth strategy.
12. We have a large work force and our employee benefits expense is one of the larger components of our fixed
operating costs. An increase in employee benefits expense could reduce our profitability. Further, our
operations could be adversely affected by work stoppages, shortage of labour, or increased wage demands by
our employees or any other kind of disputes with our employees.
We operate in a human resource intensive industry and if our relationship with our employees deteriorate, or the
relationship of our independent contractors and their personnel deteriorate, we may experience labour unrest,
strikes or work stoppages. While we consider our current employee relations to be good, and we have no trade
unions in our Company, we cannot assure you that we will not experience disruptions in work due to disputes or
other problems with our work force, which may adversely affect our ability to perform our obligations under our
contractual arrangements. Any disputes may also result in disruptions in our operations, which may adversely
affect our business and results of operation. In addition, disputes with our employees could also impact our
reputation. While we have not faced any significant disputes with our employees, as a collective, we cannot assure
you that there will no such issue in future.
We are also dependent on third party contractors for provision of various services associated with our business.
Such third party contractors and their employee / personnel may also be subject to similar labour law legislations.
Although, we do not engage such personnel directly and we only engage such workers on a contract basis, we may
be held responsible for payment of wages to such workers should the third party contractors fail to make wage
payments to the workers, which may impact our cash flows and results of operations.
As at July 31, 2023, our Company’s work force comprised 123 full time employees including our senior
management team and 586 workers on contract basis. Set out below are the details of our employee benefits
expense during the Fiscal 2023, Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021:
Our Company’s average voluntary attrition rate of our employees in Fiscal 2023, Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021 was
15.46% and involuntary attrition rate of our employees in Fiscal 2023, Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021 was Nil. Set
out below are the details of voluntary and involuntary attrition rate of our employees in the Fiscal 2023, Fiscal
2022 and Fiscal 2021:
Further, due to economic growth in the past and the increase in competition for skilled and semi-skilled employees
in India, wages in India have, in recent years been increasing at a fast rate. We may need to increase our
36
compensation levels to remain competitive in attracting and retaining the quality and number of skilled employees
that our business requires. Further, a shortage in the skilled employee pool or general inflationary pressures will
also increase our employee costs. A significant long-term increase in our employee benefits expense could reduce
our profitability, which could, amongst others, impact our growth prospects.
13. We are heavily reliant on our Promoters, Key Managerial Personnel, Senior Management and persons with
technical expertise. Failure to retain or replace them will adversely affect our business.
Amit Mangilal Jain, our Promoter and Chairman and Managing Director, has been instrumental in developing the
vision for our Company. He started working under the guidance of his father and gained valuable experience in
the real estate business and has carried on the tradition and legacy of engaging customers with trust and integrity.
We benefit from Promoter’s experience of over 25 years and his customer relationships, network, technical
knowledge of the real estate sector. Our success depends largely on the continued services of our Promoter and
Chairman and Managing Director i.e., Amit Mangilal Jain’s deep understanding of the real estate industry.
Therefore, his continued involvement in the leadership position of our Company is critical to our success and his
non-availability in a leadership role could have a deleterious impact on our business and financial conditions.
In order to successfully manage and expand our business, we are also dependent on the services of Key Managerial
Personnel and Senior Management, and their ability to attract, train, motivate and retain skilled employees and
other professionals. Our Promoter and Chairman and Managing Director is ably supported by strong and
technically proficient management team of executives who supervise various department such as legal, sales,
marketing, and business development that are instrumental in implementing our business strategies. Our
experienced management team has developed a keen understanding of real estate in MMR, Maharashtra and, in
particular, in the micro-markets we operate in. While we have not faced significant attrition in our senior
management in the last 3 financial years, if one or more members of our key management team were unable or
unwilling to continue in their present positions, we may face difficulty in replacing such personnel, and our
business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and prospects could be adversely affected.
We also rely on our business development team which scouts for land in premium geographies within micro
geographies with good development potential and focus on acquiring such lands at competitive prices, and our
sales team which facilitates property transactions by advertising, networking with channel partners and formulating
various strategies to grow our business. Our future success, amongst other factors, will depend on our ability to
continue to attract and retain qualified personnel, particularly persons with technical expertise, know-how and
skills that are capable of helping us in identifying land in premium geographies with good development potential
and at competitive prices and help us in property transactions. Any inability to successfully manage our personnel
needs could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Further, all these persons work in conjunction to identify and anticipate customer preference and appropriately
structure each project within the appropriate micro geography, with specific lifestyle amenities that are expected
in such locations and at the appropriate price which is one of the key aspects of our success. Failure to accurately
understand and anticipate customer preference within the various micro geographies in which we operate, and will
operate in future, could adversely affect our reputation, our business, and our financial condition.
14. Our Company has in the past entered into related party transactions and may continue to do so in the future
and we cannot assure you that we could not have achieved more favourable terms if such transactions had not
been entered into with related parties and that such transactions will not have an adverse effect on our financial
conditions and result of operations.
Our Company has engaged in the past, and may engage in the future, in transactions with related parties, inter alia,
including our Promoters, Key Managerial Personnel and their relatives on an arm’s length basis. Such transactions
include salary, professional fees and commission / brokerage paid and loans availed.
During Fiscals 2023, Fiscal 2022, and Fiscal 2021, our Company had entered into related party transactions. For
details of our related party transactions, see ‘Restated Consolidated Financial Information’ at page 261. While our
Company believes that all such transactions have been conducted on an arm’s length basis and contain
commercially reasonable terms, we cannot assure you that we could not have achieved more favourable terms had
such transactions been entered into with unrelated parties. Such related party transactions may potentially involve
conflicts of interest which may be detrimental to our Company and which our Company will endeavour to duly
address as and when they may arise. We cannot assure you that such transactions, individually or in aggregate, will
37
always be in the best interests of our Company and, or, that it will not have an adverse effect on our business and
results of operations.
15. Any failure to obtain, renew and maintain requisite statutory and regulatory permits, licenses and approvals for
our operations from time to time may adversely affect our business.
In terms of applicable laws, we require various statutory and regulatory permits, licenses, registrations,
certifications, consents and approvals to carry out our business and operations (cumulatively, the Approvals). A
majority of these Approvals are granted for a limited duration and must be periodically renewed. Further, while
we have applied for certain Approvals required for our operations, we cannot assure you that such Approvals will
be issued or granted to us in a timely manner, or at all. If we do not receive these Approvals or if we are unable to
renew the Approvals in a timely manner, or at all, then our business and operations may be adversely affected. Our
Company may also be required to apply for and obtain Approvals before proceeding with construction of any phase
or part of our Ongoing Projects or future projects that we may undertake. For instance, approvals for FSI are
obtained in graded manner and at different stages of project progress and lack of FSI clearance at appropriate times
can stall project completion or the FSI clearance may be available at a higher cost than anticipated which could
adversely affect our cash flows and our expected profit from the project. We cannot assure you that we will apply
for such approvals in a timely manner, or Approvals will be issued or granted to us in a timely manner, or at all.
While there have been no such instances in the past where we were unable to obtain Approvals in a timely manner,
we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain the requisite Approvals in a timely manner or at all. Any delay
in applying for, or obtaining such Approvals, may impact our business operations and financial performance. For
further details, see ‘Government and Other Approvals’ at page 384. For instance, in one of the projects undertaken
by us in the past, there was a delay in obtaining occupation certificate, on account of a change in norms pertaining
to height measurement after the completion of construction of the new building. Consequently, the occupation
certificate for the project which was undertaken on the basis of the older norms, was delayed by over 3 years. We
cannot assure you that such instances will not occur in future or that we will be able to address the situation within
an acceptable time frame or at all.
Moreover, the Approvals are subject to numerous conditions, and we cannot assure you that these Approvals will
not be suspended or revoked in the event of non-compliance or alleged non-compliance with any terms or
conditions thereof, or pursuant to any regulatory action. Suspension or revocation of the Approvals by the relevant
regulatory authority, either on account of non-compliance or otherwise, would impact our Company’s operations
and, consequently, have an adverse effect on our business, cash flows and financial condition. Our Company may
also be liable to monetary penalties and concerned officers in default may be subject to imprisonment.
Additionally, uncertainty in the applicability, interpretation or implementation of any amendment to, or change in,
governing law, regulation or policy in the jurisdictions in which we operate, including by reason of an absence, or
a limited body, of administrative or judicial precedent may be time consuming as well as costly for us to resolve
and may impact the viability of our current business or restrict our ability to grow our business in the future.
Further, if we are affected, directly or indirectly, by the application or interpretation of any provision of such laws
and regulations or any related proceedings or are required to bear any costs in order to comply with such provisions
or to defend such proceedings, our business and financial performance may be adversely affected.
16. Some of our Ongoing Projects require us to obtain approvals or permits, and we are required to fulfil certain
conditions precedent in respect of some of them. Any failure to obtain the necessary approvals in time or at all
may result in material delays in our Ongoing Projects and could have an adverse impact on our results of
operations and prospects.
Completed Projects
As of July 31, 2023, we have completed 27 projects (both stand-alone and through joint development arrangements
with other third parties) aggregating more than 4 million square feet of development and have catered to more than
approximately 4,000 customers. Set out below are details of the occupation certificate that we have obtained for
these completed projects that we have completed independently and projects executed by our Promoter through
their proprietorship.

Ongoing Projects
We are, currently, developing 5 residential projects spread across the western suburbs of the MMR. These projects,
when completed, are expected to aggregate 1,876,422 million square feet of developable area comprising 646,940
square feet of saleable RERA carpet area spread across 589 ‘available for sale’ units. Set out below are details of
the latest applicable approvals that we have obtained for these Ongoing Projects:
39
Each project is subject to manifold approvals which are required at disparate stages of the project. For further
details, please see ‘Government Approvals’ on page 384. We cannot assure you that we will apply for such
approvals in a timely manner, or approvals will be issued or granted to us in a timely manner, or at all. Any delay
in applying for, or obtaining such approvals, may impact our business operations, financial performance and
prospects. Further, our Company had received a ‘stop work notice’ dated February 16, 2023 from the Municipal
Corporation of Greater Mumbai in relation to construction of temporary structure created in one of our projects
viz. Arkade Aura on the basis that the temporary structure was not approved by the concerned authority. While the
‘stop work notice’ was withdrawn on June 7, 2023 by the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai after
demolition of the temporary structure on March 9, 2023, the construction at the said project was stopped from
February 16, 2023 to June 7, 2023. While we have not received any other notices of similar nature in the past and
have complied with the conditions of the approvals issued to our Companies, we cannot assure you that such an
event will not occur in the future. Further, any such adverse action from regulatory authorities may affect our
abilities to complete our projects in the targeted time and as a result, may have an adverse impact on our cash flow,
business operations and our reputation.
17. Changing laws, rules and regulations and legal uncertainties, including adverse application of corporate and
tax laws, may adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.
Our business is governed by various laws and regulations including The Real Estate (Regulation and Development)
Act, 2016, National Building Code of India, 2016, The Transfer of Property Act, 1882, The Registration Act, 1908,
Indian Stamp Act, 1899, Indian Easements Act, 1882, The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land
Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013, Unified Development Control and Promotion Regulations
for Maharashtra, The Maharashtra Stamp Act, 1958, Maharashtra Land Revenue Code, 1966, Maharashtra
Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1948, Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act, 1966, Maharashtra
Slum Areas (Improvement, Clearance and Redevelopment) Act, 1971, Maharashtra Fire Prevention and Life Safety
Measures Act, 2006, The Bombay Village Panchayats Act, 1958, The Maharashtra Ownership Flats (Regulation
of the Promotion of Construction, Sale, Management and Transfer) Act, 1963, The Maharashtra Apartment
Ownership Act, 1970, The Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Act, 1976, Development Control
Regulations for Greater Mumbai, 1991, The Development Control and Promotional Regulations (DCPR) 2034,
Development Control Regulations for Mumbai Metropolitan Region, 1999 and Maharashtra Co-operative
Societies Act, 1960 and the rules framed thereunder. Our business and financial performance could be
adversely affected by unfavourable changes in law, or interpretations of existing laws by judicial and quasi-
judicial bodies, and the rules and guidelines issued thereunder, or the promulgation of new laws, rules and
regulations applicable to us and our business. For further details see “Key Regulations and Policies” on page 218.
The regulatory and policy environment in which we operate is evolving and subject to change. For instance, the
Indian real estate sector faced challenges of adapting to various reforms and changes brought about by
demonetization, and implementation of The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, Goods and
Service Tax and Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code. These measures introduced by the Government of India initially
posed difficulties for the real estate sector in aligning with the new regulations. (Source: Anarock Report) There
can be no assurance that the Government of India may not implement new regulations and policies which will
require us to obtain approvals and licenses from the Government and other regulatory bodies, or impose onerous
requirements, conditions, costs and expenditures on our operations. Any such changes and the related uncertainties
with respect to the implementation of the new legal framework may have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition, results of operations and future cash flows. In addition, we may have to incur costs and
expenses including capital expenditure to comply with the requirements of any new regulations, which may also
adversely impact our results of operations and cash flows. Any changes to such laws may adversely affect our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
Further, the Government of India has notified certain labour codes including The Code on Wages, 2019 and The
Code on Social Security, 2020 which will replace the existing legal framework governing rights of workers,
employees and labour relations. While certain aspects of The Code on Wages, 2019 and the Code on Social
Security, have been notified, the vast majority of the codes are yet to come into force on the date of this Draft Red
Herring Prospectus. We may incur increased costs and other burdens relating to compliance with such new
requirements, which may also require significant management time and other resources, and any failure to comply
may adversely affect our business, results of operations, future cash flows and prospects.
We have not determined the impact of these recent and proposed laws and regulations on our business. Uncertainty
in the applicability, interpretation or implementation of any amendment to, or change in, governing law, regulation
40
or policy in the jurisdictions in which we operate, including by reason of an absence, or a limited body, of
administrative or judicial precedent may be time consuming as well as costly for us to resolve and may impact the
viability of our current business or restrict our ability to grow our business in the future. Further, if we are affected,
directly or indirectly, by the application or interpretation of any provision of such laws and regulations or any
related proceedings or are required to bear any costs in order to comply with such provisions or to defend such
proceedings, our business and financial performance may be adversely affected.
18. Our redevelopment projects have long gestation periods and any delays and cost overruns could adversely affect
our prospects, business and results of operations
Redevelopment projects are, by their very nature, different from the development of new projects, and pose unique
challenges. Prior to commencing the redevelopment of existing structures we enter into a Development Agreement
with entities who have an interest in the existing structures which detail the inter-se rights, liabilities and
obligations of the parties. However, since redevelopment projects involve multiple entities these projects,
generally, tend to have long gestation periods and delays and cost overruns are not uncommon. Further, due to the
involvement of multiple entities we are required to engage with entities who could have potentially conflicting
interests and dissatisfaction with either completion timelines or other aspect s of the redevelopment could result in
such entities ceasing to cooperate with us, raising objections and, or, engaging in litigation which would affect our
ability complete the project within anticipated timelines or at all. which would adversely impact our business and
our financial condition. Any delays, cost overruns or litigation could adversely affect our business and financial
condition.
19. We propose to deploy a part of the Net Proceeds towards acquisition of unidentified land and general corporate
purposes.
Land is one of the most crucial aspects of a real estate company’s operations. Our Company follows a blended
business model i.e. we develop new real estate projects and we redevelop existing premises. The latter does not
require us to acquire any land for development since the projects is undertaken on the property on which the
existing premises are located. However, for new real estate projects land acquisition is a key aspect of project
development. Mumbai, where our operations are based is the most expensive real estate market in India, and,
scarcity of land, coupled with the difficultly in acquiring suitable land at affordable prices is a significant constraint
in Mumbai (Source: Anarock Report). Currently, we are in the process of executing 5 Ongoing Projects spread
across different micro geographies of the MMR, of which 3 are new projects for which we have acquired land. To
continue our growth trajectory and to remain competitive we will need to undertake new projects consistently
which will require us identify and acquire land. Further, once suitable land is identified, time may be of the essence
in completing the sale given the scarcity of land and the competition, and we may be required to make a significant
capital outlay quickly. Accordingly, we are proposing to acquire land for our future operations in the MMR region
by deploying a part of the Net Proceeds. In compliance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations, we propose to deploy
an aggregate of [●] million of the Net Proceeds, constituting approximately, [●]% of our Issue Proceeds towards
acquisition of unidentified land in the MMR region and general corporate purposes, of which we will deploy not
more than ₹ [●] million, towards acquisition of unidentified land. For further details see ‘Objects of the Issue’ on
page 91. While, given the importance of land in the development of new projects we undertake extensive due
diligence and analyse and evaluate the identified land on various parameters including its location, the environs
and the nature of the soil etc, we cannot assure you that the land that we acquire will be viable or that the project
developed on such land will be profitable. Further, in the event we are unable to identify and, or, acquire suitable
land required to develop new projects our it could have an adverse impact on our financial condition, business and
growth prospects.
20. Our inability to protect or use our intellectual property rights may adversely affect our business.
Our Company possesses 4 registered trade marks. For further details about our intellectual property rights, see
‘Our Business – Intellectual Property’ on page 215. The use of our brand name or logo by third parties could
adversely affect our reputation and business, which could in turn adversely affect our financial performance and
the market price of the Equity Shares. Notwithstanding the precautions we take to protect our intellectual property
rights, it is possible that third parties may copy or otherwise infringe our rights, which may have an adverse effect
on our business and results of operations.
While we take care to ensure that we comply with the intellectual property rights of others, we cannot determine
with certainty whether we are infringing any existing third-party intellectual property rights, which may force us
41
to alter our offerings of units in our projects. We may also be susceptible to claims from third parties asserting
infringement and other related claims. If such claims are raised, those claims could result in costly litigation,
divert management’s attention and resources, subject us to significant liabilities and require us to enter into
potentially expensive royalty or licensing agreements or to cease all or certain of our offerings of units in our
projects. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial
condition.
21. Unsecured loans taken by our Company can be recalled by the lenders at any time. Our Promoter and Whole
Time Directors have extended personal guarantees for debt facilities availed by our Company, which they be
unable to continue to provide or honour.
As of July 31, 2023, our Company has availed the following unsecured loans from our Promoter and Chairman
and Managing Director i.e., Amit Mangilal Jain, and our Whole Time Directors i.e., Sandeep Ummedmal Jain and
Arpit Vikram Jain which may be recalled by their respective lenders at any time.
If any of the abovementioned lenders recall these loans, our Company would need to find alternative sources of
financing, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Further, if any lender seeks
accelerated repayment of any such loan, it may have a material adverse effect on our business and our immediate
cash flow.
In addition, our Promoter and Chairman and Managing Director i.e., Amit Mangilal Jain, and our Whole Time
Directors i.e., Sandeep Ummedmal Jain and Arpit Vikram Jain have also extended personal guarantees for some
of the debt facilities availed by our Company. Any inability to continue to provide such guarantee or their inability
to honour such guarantee could result in an acceleration of such facilities and, or, adversely impact our ability to
raise debt which could impact our cash flows, result in cash flow mismatch and adversely affect our financial
condition.
22. We have incurred indebtedness which exposes us to various risks which may have an adverse effect on our
business, results of operations and financial conditions. Conditions and restrictions imposed on us by the
agreements governing our indebtedness could adversely affect our ability to operate our business.
As of July 31, 2023, our total sanctioned and outstanding indebtedness was ₹ 2,214.80 million and ₹ 843.01 million,
respectively. The level of our indebtedness could have several important consequences, including but not limited
to the following:
i. a significant portion of our cash flow may be used towards repayment of our existing debt, which will reduce
the available cash flow to fund our capital expenditures and other general corporate requirements;
ii. defaults of payment and other obligations under our financing arrangements may result in an event of
default, acceleration of our repayment obligations and enforcement of related security interests over our
assets;
iii. a substantial portion of our long-term indebtedness is subject to floating rates of interest. Fluctuations in
market interest rates may require us to pay higher rates of interest and will also affect the cost of our
borrowings; and
iv. our ability to obtain additional financing in the future or renegotiate or refinance our existing indebtedness
on terms favourable to us may be limited.
42
Additionally, our financing agreements contain certain conditions and restrictive covenants that require us to obtain
consents from respective lenders prior to carrying out specified activities and entering into certain transactions.
Our lenders require us to obtain their prior approval for certain actions, which, amongst other things, restrict our
ability to undertake various actions including incur additional debt, declare dividends (except where the instalments
of principal and interest payable to the bank are being paid regularly), alter our share capital, and implement new
scheme of expansion/modernisation. While our Company has received necessary approval from its lenders to
undertake this Issue, we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain approvals to undertake any other
aforementioned activities as and when required or comply with such covenants or other covenants in the future.
For further details regarding our indebtedness, see ‘Restated Consolidated Financial Information’ and ‘Financial
Indebtedness’ on pages 261 and 331, respectively.
Any failure to observe the covenants under our financing agreements or obtain necessary waivers may lead to the
termination of our credit facilities, acceleration of amounts due under such facilities, suspension of further access
or withdrawals, either in whole or in part, for the use of the facility and, or, restructuring of our borrowings.
23. Our business operations are capital intensive and is significantly dependent on availability of real estate
financing or internal accruals. We may not be able to secure additional funding in the future. In the event our
Company is unable to obtain sufficient funding, it may delay our growth plans and have a material adverse
effect on our business, cash flows and financial condition.
Our business operations are capital intensive and involve substantial capital for development and marketing of our
Ongoing projects and planned projects. Additionally, we will require significant capital outlay for our future project
including for land acquisition. We typically fund these requirements through financing from banks and other
financial institutions and through our internal accruals. As of July 31, 2023, our total sanctioned indebtedness was
₹ 2,214.80 million out of which our outstanding indebtedness was ₹ 843.01 million as a majority of the loans have
been inter alia secured against the proceeds of sale of units from our projects and are repaid from such proceeds.
For further details regarding our indebtedness, see ‘Restated Consolidated Financial Information’ and ‘Financial
Indebtedness’ on pages 261 and 331, respectively. Our ability to borrow and the terms of our borrowings will
depend on our financial conditions, our cash flows, our capacity to service debt and our ability to sell units in
projects which have been secured for repayment of our debt. Further, from time to time, our Company’s plans may
change due to changing circumstances, new business developments, new challenges or investment opportunities
or unforeseen contingencies. If our plans change or if we are required to adapt to changing circumstances or
business realities, our Company may need to obtain additional financing to meet inter alia working capital
requirements and/ or capital expenditure. Such financing may be in the form of debt funding, which may be raised
through borrowings from commercial banks, issue of debentures or other debt securities. If we raise funds in future
by incurring additional debt, the interest and debt repayment obligations of our Company will increase, and we
may be subject to supplementary or new covenants, which could limit our ability to access cash flow from
operations and, or, other means of financing. Moreover, these additional funds could come at a higher cost which
may impact our profitability. Further, we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain adequate financing to
fund future capital requirements on acceptable terms, in time.
24. We have dues which are outstanding to our creditors. Any failure in payment of these dues may have a material
adverse effect on our reputation, business and financial condition.
As of March 31, 2023, our Company had 240 creditors and the aggregate amount due by our Company to these
creditors was ₹ 235.19 million, as set out below:
In terms of our Materiality Policy, the list of creditors ‘material’ to whom the amount due is in excess of 5% of the
total outstanding dues (that is, trade payables) of the Company as on March 31, 2023 is set out below:
43
(in ₹ million)
Material Creditors 3 77.80
As certified by our Statutory Auditors, M/s Mittal & Associates, pursuant to a certificate dated August 31, 2023
Any failure to make payments to our creditors in a timely manner in accordance with the terms and conditions of
the agreements or purchase orders with them, or at all, may lead to our creditors not providing us with materials in
future or to disassociate their relationship with us. In addition, delay or failure in payment of dues to our creditors
may also result in creditors initiating legal proceedings against us. All these factors may have a material adverse
effect on our reputation, business and financial condition.
25. Our Company has made delayed filings with the RoC and tax authorities and certain forms filed with RoC and
certain payment challans in relation to the corporate filings made by our Company are not traceable.
Our Company has in the past inadvertently delayed in making the prescribed statutory filings under the Companies
Act, 2013 for few corporate actions such as, delay in form filing in relation to (i) allotment of 502,000 Equity
Shares dated March 23, 2015; (ii) allotment of 376,200 Equity Shares and 41,800 Equity Shares, both dated March
14, 2014; and (iii) conversion of our Company from a private company to a public company. Additionally, we
have also inadvertently delayed in making certain GST and TDS related filings. While we have paid the requisite
fine / additional fees as prescribed under the Companies Act, 2013, at the time of the delayed filing, we cannot
assure you that such delayed reporting will not occur in the future. Further, our Company engaged an independent
practicing Company Secretary, Kala Agarwal, to trace 1 RoC form pertaining to change in our registered office,
and certain RoC payment challans in relation to change in our authorised share capital and change in our registered
office, erstwhile share transfer forms for transfer of shares involving our Promoter which were not traceable by
our Company. The independent practicing Company Secretary was also unable to trace such RoC form and RoC
payment challans. We cannot assure you that we will be able to make timely filings including of our corporate
actions, and, or, maintain all records of corporate actions of our Company in the future
26. Our Promoter has subscribed to, and purchased, Equity Shares, at a price which could be below the Issue Price.
The average cost of acquisition of Equity Shares by our Promoter could also be lower than the Issue Price.
We have issued Equity Shares to our Promoter, and our Promoter has acquired Equity Shares by way of transfers,
at a price which could be below the Issue Price. For more details see ‘Capital Structure’ on page 75.
The average cost of acquisition of Equity Shares by our Promoter (Average Cost of Acquisition) is set out below.
The aforementioned average cost of acquisition of Equity Shares by our Promoter could be lower than the Issue
Price.
27. We have licensed the use of our Registered and Corporate Office from which we operate our business. We cannot
assure you that the license agreement will be renewed upon termination or that we will be able to obtain other
premises on lease or license basis on same or similar commercial terms.
We do not own the Registered and Corporate Office from which we operate our business and we have licensed the
use of our Registered and Corporate Office from a firm in which our Promoter is a sole proprietor.
We cannot assure you that we will own, or have the right to occupy, this premise in the future, or that we will be
able to continue with the uninterrupted use of this premise, which may impair our operations and adversely affect
our financial condition. We cannot assure you that we will be able to renew the lease or license agreement with
third parties in a timely manner or at all. Further, identification of a new location to house our operations and
relocating our offices to the new premises may place significant demands on our senior management and other
resources and also involve us incurring significant expenditure. Any inability on our part to timely identify a
suitable location for a relocated office could have an adverse impact on our business.
44
Further, the license agreement in relation to our Registered and Corporate Office is not adequately stamped. An
instrument not duly stamped, or insufficiently stamped, shall not be admitted as evidence in any Indian court or
may attract a penalty as prescribed under applicable law, which may have an adverse effect on the continuance of
our operations and business.
In addition, any regulatory non-compliance by the licensor or us or adverse development relating to the licensors’
title or ownership rights to such properties, may entail significant disruptions to our operations, especially if we
are forced to vacate the licensed space following such developments. If our sales do not increase in line with our
rent and costs, including setup and interior design costs, our profitability, business, results of operations, financial
condition and cash flows could be adversely affected.
28. We may be unable to enforce our rights under some of the agreements executed by us on account of insufficient
stamping.
The unsecured loan agreements executed by us with our lenders are not stamped and the leave and license
agreement executed by us for use of our Registered and Corporate Office is inadequately stamped. Unstamped or
inadequately stamped documents while not illegal cannot be enforced in a court of law until the applicable stamp
duty, with penalty, has been paid and could impact our ability to timely enforce our rights under the agreements
and may have a material adverse effect on the continuance of our operations and business. We cannot assure you
that we will be able to enforce our rights under these arrangements.
29. Our Promoter will, even after the completion of the Issue, continue to be our largest Shareholder and can
influence the outcome of resolutions, which may potentially involve conflict of interest with the other
Shareholders.
Currently, our Promoter holds 82.99% Equity Share capital of our Company and he will continue to hold majority
of our Equity Share capital after the completion of this Issue. Accordingly, our Promoter will continue to exercise
significant influence over our business and all matters requiring Shareholders’ approval, including the composition
of our Board, the adoption of amendments to our constitutional documents, the approval of mergers, strategic
acquisitions or joint ventures or the sales of substantially all of our assets, and the policies for dividends, lending,
investments and capital expenditures. We cannot assure you that the interest of our Promoter in any such scenario
will not conflict with the interest of other Shareholders or with our interests. Any such conflict may adversely
affect our ability to execute our business strategy or to operate our business effectively or in the best interests of
the other Shareholders of our Company.
30. Our Promoter and some of our Directors may have interests in us other than reimbursement of expenses
incurred and normal remuneration or benefits.
Our Promoter and some of our Directors may be regarded as having an interest in us other than reimbursement of
expenses incurred and normal remuneration or benefits. Our Promoter and certain Directors may be deemed to be
interested to the extent of Equity Shares held by them or their relatives (or Promoter Group) as well as to the extent
of bonus or dividend on such Equity Shares. Further, they are interested to the extent of unsecured loans that have
been given by them or their respective family members. We cannot assure you that there will be no conflict of
interests between such persons and our Company. For further details, see ‘Our Management’ and ‘Our Promoter
and Promoter Group’ on pages 232 and 256, respectively.
31. There are certain outstanding legal proceedings involving our Company, our Subsidiaries, our Promoter, and
our Directors, which, if determined against us, could have a material adverse effect on our business, cash flows,
financial condition and results of operations.
Our Company, one of our Subsidiaries, our Promoter and our Directors are currently involved in litigations pending
at different levels of adjudication before various forum. A summary of outstanding litigation and the monetary
amount involved in the cases we are currently involved in is mentioned in brief below:

For further details on the outstanding litigation matters involving our Company, our Subsidiary, our Promoter, and
our Directors (other than Promoter), see ‘Outstanding Litigation and Other Material Developments’ on page 374.
In addition to the above, one of the projects being undertaken by our Associates i.e., Atul & Arkade Realty, in
which our Company holds 40% share, is involved in litigation pursuant to which the project could not be
commenced. Although our Company is not a party to this dispute, any adverse findings by the concerned judicial
authority in this dispute may have an impact on our brand name, our investment in this Associate and our financial
condition.
We may be required to devote management and financial resources in the defence or prosecution of such legal
proceedings. Should any new developments arise, including a change in Indian law or rulings against us by the
appellate courts or tribunals, we may face losses and have to make further provisions in our financial statements,
which could increase our expenses and our liabilities. We cannot assure you that the provisions we have made for
litigation will be sufficient or that further litigation will not be brought against us in the future. Decisions in such
proceedings adverse to our interests may have a material adverse effect on our business, cash flows, financial
condition, and results of operations. Further, delay in settlement of statutory dues, vendor payments and employee
settlement cases may also have an adverse impact on us.
In the event significant claims are determined against us and we are required to pay all or a portion of the disputed
amounts, there could be a material adverse effect on our business and profitability. We cannot provide any
assurance that these matters will be decided in our favour. Furthermore, we may not be able to quantify all the
claims in which we are involved. Failure to successfully defend these or other claims or if our current provisions
prove to be inadequate, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected. Even if we are successful
in defending such cases, we will be subjected to legal and other costs relating to defending such litigation, and such
costs could be substantial. In addition, we cannot assure that similar proceedings will not be initiated in the future.
This could adversely affect our business, cash flows, financial condition, and results of operation.
32. Our contingent liabilities could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial
condition.
46
The table below sets forth the details of contingent liabilities as at Fiscal 2023, Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021:
(in ₹ million)
Particulars As at 31 March 2023 As at 31 March 2022 As at 31 March
2021
While most of these contingent liabilities have been incurred in the normal course of business, if these were to
fully materialize or materialize at a level higher than we expect, it may materially and adversely impact our
business, results of operations and financial condition. For further details of our contingent liabilities, see ‘Restated
Consolidated Financial Information’ on page 261. Further, we cannot assure you that we will not incur similar or
increased levels of contingent liabilities in the future.
33. There are common pursuits amongst our Company and our Associates.
There are common pursuits amongst our Company and our Associates viz. Arkade Abode LLP (in the process of
strike off, application submitted to ROC), Atul & Arkade Realty and Bhoomi & Arkade Associates. For details of
our Associates, see ‘History and Certain Corporate Matters - Details of our Joint Ventures and Associates’. While,
currently, there is no conflict between our Company and our Associates, we cannot assure you that there will be
no conflict of interest in allocating business opportunities between us and our Group Company going forward.
Further, we have not entered into any non-compete agreement with our Associates and we cannot assure you that
our Associates will not compete with our existing business or that we will be able to suitably resolve any such
conflict without an adverse effect on our business and financial performance.
34. Our operations are heavily dependent on the real estate industry.
We are pure-play real estate developer operating primarily in the MMR and surrounding regions. Accordingly, all
our revenue from our real estate activities in India. Consequently, factors affecting the state of the Indian real estate
sector, particularly, the real estate sector in the MMR and neighbouring areas, and the Indian economy in general,
are of significance for our performance.
The real estate industry has, in the recent past, been buffeted by the COVID-19 pandemic which has adversely
impacted our operations. Economic developments within and outside India have also in the past adversely affected
the property market in India. The global credit markets have experienced and may experience significant volatility
and have an adverse impact on the availability of credit and the confidence of the financial markets, globally as
well as in India. The availability of credit and financial markets may also be impacted by the prevailing debt crisis
which has been triggered majorly by rising policy rates resulting in a rise in cost of funds. Further, increase in cost
of raw materials which may in turn lead to an increase in the construction cost may also result in decrease in sale
of, or pricing for, real estate projects. Accordingly, any downturn in the real estate industry, could adversely impact
our results of operations and our financial condition.
35. Sales of our projects may be adversely affected by the inability of our prospective customers to obtain financing.
47
Lower interest rates on housing finance from banks and housing finance companies, particularly for residential real
estate, have inter alia facilitated growth of the Indian real estate market. For instance, to enhance liquidity in the
market, the RBI implemented a series of measures, including a reduction of 115 basis points in the repo rate
between February 2020 and December 2021. This was primarily to infuse liquidity into the system during the
pandemic so that consumption could remain afloat. This reduction led to a decrease in home loan interest rates.
Additionally, the combination of rising household income and stable ticket prices contributed to an improvement
in the affordability of residential units. However, as the threat of the pandemic receded, the RBI revised the repo
rates upwards and cause it to rise by 150 basis points in regular intervals from May 2022 to February 2023.
Despite the rise in rates leading to the firming up of the home loan rates, the demand for housing had remained
buoyant. (Source: Anarock Report). Any adverse changes in interest rates may affect the ability and willingness
of prospective real estate customers, particularly customers of residential properties, to obtain financing for the
purchase of our projects. A decision by the RBI to increase the repo rate could impose an inflation risk as the
interest rates charged by banks on home loans from our prospective customers have in the past, and may continue
to, be increased. Interest rates at which our customers may borrow funds for the purchase of our properties
affects the affordability of our real estate projects. Any changes in the home loans market, making home loans
less attractive to our customers may adversely affect our business, future growth and results of operations.
36. Health, safety and environmental matters, including compliance with environmental laws, could result in
substantially increased capital requirements and operating costs.
The Indian real estate industry and construction activities are regulated at the national, state and municipal level
by different statutory authorities and regulatory bodies. Our Company’s business and operations are subject to
laws, regulations and contractual commitments relating to health, safety and the environment which include laws,
regulations and contractual commitments towards solid waste material handling and disposal, worker health and
safety, and the investigation and remediation or other environmental restoration and are also subject to monitoring
and inspections by the government officials with regard to various environmental issues. The risks of substantial
costs and liabilities related to these laws and regulations are an inherent part of our Company’s business. Other
developments in these laws and regulations, such as increased requirements of environmental, health and safety
obligations, increased strict enforcement thereof by governmental authorities, and claims for damages to property
or injury to persons resulting from the environmental, health or safety, impact our Company’s operations, and / or
could prevent or restrict some of our Company’s operations, require the expenditure of significant funds to bring
our Company into compliance, involve the imposition of clean up requirements and give rise to civil or criminal
liability. We cannot assure you that any legislation, regulation, enforcement or private claim will not be levied
against our Company in the future which may have a material adverse effect on our Company’s business, financial
condition or results of operations. In the event that construction at any of our construction projects is partially or
wholly prevented due to any adverse actions of any governmental or statutory authority, our Company’s business
could suffer significantly and its results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely
affected. For details in relation to the applicable laws and material approvals taken by our Company in relation to
its business, see ‘Key Regulations and Policies’ and 'Government and Other Approvals’ on pages 218 and 384,
respectively.
37. We intend to utilise a portion of the Net Proceeds for funding our development expenses requirements.
We intend to utilise a portion of the Net Proceeds for part funding our development expenses requirements which
includes the cost of construction of one of our Ongoing Projects viz., Arkade Nest. Arkade Nest is a new project
that we are in the process of developing in Mulund West and is expected to be completed by June 30, 2027 (Per
RERA filings). We propose to deploy an aggregate of ₹ 2,700 million towards part funding the development
expenses required for Arkade Nest, Prachi CHSL and C Unit comprising the cost of approval and cost of
construction. We have yet to place orders for the aforementioned cost of construction, and we have not entered
into any definitive agreements to utilize the Net Proceeds for this aspect of the object of the Issue and have relied
on the quotations received from third parties for estimation of the cost. While we have obtained the quotations in
relation to such capital expenditure, most of these quotations are valid for a certain period of time and may be
subject to revisions, and other commercial and technical factors. We cannot assure you that we will be able to
undertake such development expenses within the cost indicated by such quotations or that there will not be cost
escalations. For details, see “Objects of the Issue” at page 91.
38. Any failure of our information technology systems could adversely impact our business.
48
Our day to day operations depend on our information technology systems. We use information and communication
technologies for the execution and management of our projects. We also use information technology systems for
routine corporate activities such as processing of financial information, managing information pertaining to
creditors/ debtors, customer communication, marketing through website and engaging in normal business activities
. Although we believe that we have effective backup systems in place, any partial or complete disruption of our
information technology systems could adversely impact our business and the result of our operations. Although in
the past we have never faced any cyber-attacks, frauds, hacking, phishing, trojans and data theft, there can be no
assurance that such incidences may not occur in the future.
39. Our operations and our workforce are exposed to various natural disasters, hazards and risks that could affect
our business operations and our reputation.
We conduct various site studies prior to the acquisition of any area of land and its construction and development.
However, there are certain unanticipated or unforeseen risks that may arise in the course of property development
due to adverse weather and geological conditions such as storms, hurricanes, lightning, floods and landslides. If
the MMR region where all our projects are based are affected by any natural disasters which significantly affect
our projects, our business and financial conditions could be adversely affected.
Additionally, operations at construction sites are subject to hazards inherent in providing architectural and
construction services, such as the risk of equipment failure, work accidents, fire or explosion. Many of these
hazards can cause injury and loss of life, severe damage to and destruction of property and equipment and
environmental damage. Occurrence of any such events could adversely affect our business operations and
reputation.
40. Any material deviation in the utilisation of Issue Proceeds shall be subject to applicable law.
Our funding requirements and the deployment of the proceeds from this Issue are based on our current business
plan and strategy. We may have to revise this from time to time as a result of variations including in the cost
structure, changes in estimates and other external factors, which may not be within the control of our management.
This may entail rescheduling, revising or cancelling the planned expenditure and fund requirement and increasing
or decreasing the deployment for a particular purpose from its planned expenditure at the discretion of our Board,
in compliance with applicable law. Accordingly, we may not be able to utilise the proceeds from this Issue in the
manner set out in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus in a timely manner or at all. As a consequence of any increased
expenditure, the actual deployment of funds may be higher than estimated.
In accordance with Sections 13(8) and 27 of the Companies Act, we cannot undertake any variation in the
utilization of the Net Proceeds without obtaining the Shareholders’ approval through a special resolution. In the
event of any such circumstances that require us to undertake variation in the disclosed utilization of the Net
Proceeds, we may not be able to obtain the Shareholders’ approval in a timely manner, or at all. Any delay or
inability in obtaining such Shareholders’ approval may adversely affect our business or operations. Further, our
Promoter would be required to provide an exit opportunity to those Shareholders’ who do not agree with our
proposal to modify the objects of the Issue as prescribed in the SEBI ICDR Regulations.
41. The objects of the Issue for which funds are being raised have not been appraised by any bank or financial
institution and are based on management estimates.
Our funding requirements and proposed deployment of Net Proceeds as set out in the section ‘Objects of the Issue’
at page 91 are based on management estimates and have not been appraised by any bank or financial institution.
Our funding requirements are based on our current business plan and may vary based on various factors including
macro-economic conditions and other changes. In view of the dynamic nature of the industry in which we operate,
we may have to revise our business plan from time to time and, consequently, the funding requirement and the
utilization of proceeds from the Issue may also change. This may also include rescheduling the proposed utilization
of the Issue Proceeds at the discretion of our management. We may make necessary changes to utilisation of the
Issue Proceeds in compliance with the provisions of the Companies Act. In the event of any variation in actual
utilization of the Issue Proceeds, any increased fund deployment for a particular activity may be met from funds
earmarked from any other activity and, or, from our internal accruals. Further, any such revision in the estimates
may require us to revise our projected expenditure, which may have a bearing on our profitability.
49
42. Our business and growth plan could be adversely affected by the incidence and rate of property taxes and stamp
duties.
We are pure-play real estate developer operating primarily in the MMR and surrounding regions. As a property
owning and development company, we are subject to the property tax regime in the State of Maharashtra. We are
also subject to stamp duty for the agreements entered into in respect of the properties we buy and sell. These taxes
could increase in the future, and new types of taxes or duties may be introduced which would increase our overall
costs and also increase the cost of buying and selling properties. Additionally, if stamp duties or higher stamp
duties were to be levied on instruments evidencing transactions which we believe are currently subject to lesser
duties, our acquisition costs and sale values may be affected, resulting in a reduction of our profitability. Any such
changes in the incidence of property taxes or stamp duties could have an adverse effect on our business and results
of operations.
43. Our Company has not paid dividends in the last 3 Fiscals and during the current Fiscal. We cannot assure you
that our Company will be in a position to pay dividends in the future.
Our Company has not paid dividends on Equity Shares for Fiscal 2023, Fiscal 2022, Fiscal 2021 and during the
current Fiscal. In terms of our Dividend Policy, our Company will pay dividends in the future depending on a
variety of factors including profitable growth of our Company and specifically, profits earned during the financial
year as compared with the previous year and internal budgets, our Company’s liquidity and cash flow position,
capital expenditures, cost of external financing and overall financial position, applicable Indian legal restrictions,
our Articles of Association, and other factors considered relevant by our Board. We may retain all future earnings,
if any, for use in the operations and expansion of our business. As a result, we may not declare dividends in the
foreseeable future. Further, our Promoter will continue to hold a significant portion of our post-Issue paid-up
Equity Share capital and will have a significant ability to control the payment and, or, the rate of dividends.
Therefore, we cannot assure you that our Company will be able to declare dividends, of any particular amount or
with any frequency in the future. For further details, see ‘Dividend Policy’ at page 260.
44. This Draft Red Herring Prospectus contains information from an industry report prepared by Anarock which
we have commissioned and paid for.
This Draft Red Herring Prospectus includes industry related information that is derived from the Anarock Report,
prepared by Anarock, which has been commissioned, and paid for, by our Company. Anarock has advised that it
has taken due care and caution in preparing the Anarock Report, in an independent and objective manner based on
information obtained from sources generally believed to be reliable, accurate and complete (Information).
However, the Information is subject to various limitations and is based upon certain assumptions that are subjective
in nature including that the Anarock Report is not based on comprehensive market research of the overall market
for all possible situations, and that changes in socio-economic and political conditions could result in a substantially
different situation than those presented. Further, the forecasts, estimates and other forward-looking statements in
the Anarock Report depend on factors like the recovery of the economy, evolution of consumer sentiments, the
competitive environment, amongst others, leading to significant uncertainty, all of which cannot be reasonably and
accurately accounted for. Actual results and future events could differ materially from such forecasts, estimates,
or such statements. There are no standard data gathering methodologies in the industry in which we conduct our
business, and methodologies and assumptions vary widely among different industry sources. Further, such
estimates and, or, assumptions may change based on various factors. We cannot assure you that Anarock’s
estimates and, or, assumptions are correct or will not change and, accordingly, our position in the market may
differ from that presented in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. Given the scope and extent of the Anarock Report,
disclosures herein are limited to certain excerpts and the Anarock Report has not been reproduced in its entirety in
this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. Accordingly, investors should read the industry-related disclosure in this Draft
Red Herring Prospectus in this context. Our Company, Subsidiaries, Promoters, Directors, Key Managerial
Personnel, Senior Management and the Book Running Lead Manager are not related to Anarock.
Additionally, some of the data and information in the Anarock Report may also be based on discussions /
conversations with industry sources. Industry sources and publications are also prepared based on information as
of specific dates and may not be current or reflect current trends. Industry sources and publications may also base
their information on estimates, projections, forecasts and assumptions that may prove to be incorrect. Due to
possibly flawed or ineffective collection methods or discrepancies between published information and market
practice and other problems, the statistics herein may be inaccurate or may not be comparable to statistics produced
for other economies and should not be unduly relied upon. Further, we cannot assure you that they are stated or
50
compiled on the same basis or with the same degree of accuracy as may be the case elsewhere. Statements from
third parties that involve estimates are subject to change, and actual amounts may differ significantly from those
included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. Further, the Anarock Report is not a recommendation to invest or
disinvest in our Company.
45. We have included certain non-GAAP financial and operational measures related to our operations and
financial performance that may vary from any standard methodology that may be applicable across the industry
in which we operate, and which may not be comparable with financial, operational or industry related statistical
information of similar nomenclature computed and presented by similar companies.
Certain non-GAAP– financial measures and certain other statistical information relating to our operations and
financial performance such as EBITDA, Net Debt – Equity ratio, and Net Debt - EBITDA ratio have been included
in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. These non-GAAP Measures are not a measurement of our financial
performance or liquidity under Ind AS, Indian GAAP, or IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or
construed as an alternative to cash flows, profit/ (loss) for the year/ period or any other measure of financial
performance or as an indicator of our operating performance, liquidity, profitability or cash flows generated by
operating, investing or financing activities derived in accordance with Ind AS, Indian GAAP, or IFRS. These non-
GAAP financial measures and other information relating to our operations and financial performance may not be
computed on the basis of any standard methodology that is applicable across the industry and therefore may not be
comparable to financial measures and statistical information of similar nomenclature that may be computed and
presented by other companies and are not measures of operating performance or liquidity defined by Ind AS and
may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
46. The Equity Shares have never been publicly traded and the Issue may not result in an active or liquid market
for the Equity Shares. Further, the price of the Equity Shares may be volatile, and you may be unable to resell
the Equity Shares at or above the Issue Price.
Prior to the Issue, there has been no public market for the Equity Shares, and an active trading market on the Indian
Stock Exchanges may not develop or be sustained after the Issue. Listing and quotation does not guarantee that a
market for the Equity Shares will develop, or if developed, there will be liquidity of such market for the Equity
Shares. The Issue Price of the Equity Shares may bear no relationship to the market price of the Equity Shares after
the Issue.
The market price of the Equity Shares after the Issue can be volatile as a result of several factors beyond our
control, including volatility in the Indian and global securities markets, our results of operations, the performance
of our competitors, developments in the Indian and global real estate industry, changing perceptions in the market
about investments in this sector in India, investor perceptions of our future performance, adverse media reports
about us or our sector, changes in the estimates of our performance or recommendations by financial analysts,
significant developments in India’s economic liberalisation and deregulation policies, and significant
developments in India’s fiscal regulations. In addition, the Stock Exchanges may experience significant price and
volume fluctuations, which may have a material adverse effect on the market price of the Equity Shares.
General or industry specific market conditions or stock performance or domestic or international macroeconomic
and geopolitical factors unrelated to our performance may also affect the price of the Equity Shares. In particular,
the stock market as a whole in the past has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected
the market price of many companies in ways that may have been unrelated to the companies’ operating
performances. For these reasons, investors should not rely on recent trends to predict future share prices, results of
operations or cash flow and financial condition.
47. The requirements of being a publicly listed company may strain our resources.
We are not a publicly listed company and have not, historically, been subjected to the increased scrutiny of our
affairs by shareholders, regulators and the public at large that is associated with being a listed company. As a listed
company, we will incur significant legal, accounting, corporate governance and other expenses that we did not
incur as an unlisted company. We will be subject to the SEBI Listing Regulations, which will require us to file
audited annual and unaudited quarterly reports with respect to our business and financial condition. If we
experience any delays, we may fail to satisfy our reporting obligations and, or, we may not be able to readily
51
determine and accordingly report any changes in our results of operations as promptly as other listed companies.
Further, as a publicly listed company, we will need to maintain and improve the effectiveness of our disclosure
controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, including keeping adequate records of daily
transactions. In order to maintain and improve the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and
internal control over financial reporting, significant resources and management attention will be required. As a
result, our management’s attention may be diverted from our business concerns, which may adversely affect our
business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.
48. Any further issuance of Equity Shares, or convertible securities or other equity linked instruments by us may
dilute your shareholding.
We may be required to finance our growth through future equity offerings. Any future equity issuances by us,
including a primary offering of Equity Shares, convertible securities or securities linked to Equity Shares including
through exercise of employee stock options, may lead to the dilution of investors’ shareholdings in our Company.
Any future equity issuances by us or sales of our Equity Shares by the Promoter may adversely affect the trading
price of the Equity Shares, which may lead to other adverse consequences including difficulty in raising capital
through offering of our Equity Shares or incurring additional debt. In addition, any perception by investors that
such issuances or sales might occur may also affect the market price of our Equity Shares. We cannot assure you
that we will not issue Equity Shares, convertible securities or securities linked to Equity Shares or that our
Shareholders will not dispose of, pledge or encumber their Equity Shares in the future.
49. Sale of Equity Shares by our Promoter in future may adversely affect the market price of the Equity Shares.
After the completion of the Issue, our Promoter will still own a significant percentage of our issued Equity Shares.
Sale of a large number of the Equity Shares by our Promoter could adversely affect the market price of the Equity
Shares. Similarly, the perception that any such primary or secondary sale may occur, could adversely affect the
market price of the Equity Shares. No assurance may be given that our Promoter will not dispose of, pledge or
encumber his Equity Shares in the future.
50. There are restrictions on daily movements in the trading price of the Equity Shares, which may adversely affect
a shareholder’s ability to sell Equity Shares or the price at which Equity Shares can be sold at a particular point
in time.
Following the Issue, our listed Equity Shares will be subject to a daily “circuit breaker” imposed on listed
companies by the Stock Exchanges, which does not allow transactions beyond certain volatility in the trading price
of the Equity Shares. This circuit breaker operates independently of the index-based market-wide circuit breakers
generally imposed by SEBI on Indian Stock Exchanges. The percentage limit on the Equity Shares’ circuit breaker
will be set by the Stock Exchanges based on historical volatility in the price and trading volume of the Equity
Shares. The Stock Exchanges are not required to inform our Company of the percentage limit of the circuit breaker,
and they may change the limit without our knowledge. This circuit breaker would effectively limit the upward and
downward movements in the trading price of the Equity Shares beyond the circuit breaker limit set by the Stock
Exchanges. As a result of this circuit breaker, we cannot give you any assurance regarding the ability of
shareholders to sell Equity Shares or the price at which shareholders may be able to sell their Equity Shares.
51. The determination of the Price Band and the Issue Price is based on various factors and assumptions and the
Issue Price of the Equity Shares may not be indicative of the market price of the Equity Shares after the Issue.
The determination of the Price Band is based on various factors and assumptions and will be determined by our
Company in consultation with the BRLM. Furthermore, the Issue Price of the Equity Shares will be determined by
our Company in consultation with the BRLM through the Book Building Process. These will be based on numerous
factors, including factors as described under ‘Basis for the Issue Price’ on page 104 and may not be indicative of
the market price for the Equity Shares after the Issue. The factors that could affect the market price of the Equity
Shares include, among others, broad market trends, our financial performance and results post-listing, and other
factors beyond our control. We cannot assure you that an active market will develop, or sustained trading will take
place in the Equity Shares or provide any assurance regarding the price at which the Equity Shares will be traded
after listing.
52. There is no guarantee that our Equity Shares will be listed on the BSE and the NSE in a timely manner or at
all.
52
There is no guarantee that our Equity Shares will be listed on the BSE and the NSE in a timely manner or at all. In
accordance with Indian law, permission for listing and trading of our Equity Shares will not be granted until after
certain actions have been completed in relation to this Issue and until Allotment of Equity Shares pursuant to this
Issue. In accordance with current regulations and circulars issued by SEBI, our Equity Shares are required to be
listed on the BSE and the NSE within such time as mandated under UPI Circulars, subject to any change in the
prescribed timeline in this regard. However, we cannot assure you that the trading in our Equity Shares will
commence in a timely manner or at all. Any failure or delay in obtaining final listing and trading approvals may
restrict your ability to dispose of your Equity Shares.
53. You may not be able to immediately sell any of the Equity Shares you subscribe to in this Issue on an Indian
Stock Exchange.
The Equity Shares are proposed to be listed on the Stock Exchanges. Pursuant to Indian regulations, certain actions
must be completed before the Equity Shares can be listed and commence trading, including the crediting of the
investor’s demat accounts within the timeline specified under applicable law. Further, in accordance with Indian
law, permission for listing and trading of our Equity Shares will not be granted until after certain actions have been
completed in relation to this Issue and until Allotment of Equity Shares pursuant to this Issue. The Allotment of
Equity Shares in the Issue and the credit of Equity Shares to the investor’s demat account with the relevant
depository participant and listing is expected to be completed within the period as may be prescribed under
applicable law. Any failure or delay in obtaining the approvals or otherwise commence trading in the Equity Shares
would restrict investors’ ability to dispose of their Equity Shares. We cannot assure you that the Equity Shares will
be credited to investors’ demat accounts, or that trading in the Equity Shares will commence, within the prescribed
time periods or at all which could restrict your ability to dispose of the Equity Shares.
54. A slowdown in economic growth in India could adversely affect our business.
The structure of the Indian economy has undergone considerable changes in the last decade. These include the
increasing importance of external trade and of external capital flows. Any slowdown in the growth of the Indian
economy or real estate sector or any future volatility in global process could adversely affect our business, financial
condition and results of operations. India’s economy could be adversely affected by a general rise in interest rates,
fluctuations in currency exchange rates, adverse conditions affecting commodity prices or various other factors.
The prevailing debt crisis, which has been triggered majorly by rising policy rates resulting in a rise in cost of
funds, could continue or worsen, and may also adversely affect the Indian economy.
Further, conditions outside India, such as slowdowns in the economic growth of other countries, could have an
impact on the growth of the Indian economy and government policy may change in response to such conditions.
The Indian economy and financial markets are also significantly influenced by worldwide economic, financial and
market conditions. Any financial turmoil, especially in the United States, France, Europe or China or Asian
emerging market countries, may have an impact on the Indian economy. Although economic conditions differ in
each country, investors’ reactions to any significant developments in one country can have adverse effects on the
financial and market conditions in other countries. A loss of investor confidence in the financial systems,
particularly in other emerging markets, may cause increased volatility in Indian financial markets, and could have
an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and the price of the Equity Shares.
55. Increasing employee compensation in India may erode some of our competitive advantage and may reduce our
profit margins, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and
results of operations.
Employee compensation in India has historically been significantly lower than employee compensation in the
United States and Western Europe for comparably skilled professionals. However, compensation increases in India
may erode some of this competitive advantage and may negatively affect our profit margins. Employee
compensation in India is increasing at a faster rate than in the United States and Western Europe, which could
result in increased costs relating to managers and other mid-level professionals. We may need to continue to
increase the levels of our employee compensation to remain competitive and manage attrition. Compensation
increases may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
56. Adverse geopolitical conditions such as an increased tension between India and its neighbouring countries,
Russia-Ukraine conflict, could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
53
Adverse geopolitical conditions such as increased tensions between India and its neighbouring countries, resulting
in any military conflict in the region could adversely affect our business and operations. Such events may lead to
countries including the Government of India imposing restrictions on the import or export of products or
components, among others, and affect our ability to procure raw materials required for our business operations.
We could also be affected by the introduction of or increase in the levy of import tariffs in India, or changes in
trade agreements between countries. For instance, the government of India has imposed additional tariffs in the
nature of countervailing duty and anti-dumping duty on a number of items imported from China. Any such measure
or reciprocal duties imposed on Indian products by China or other countries may adversely affect our results of
operations and financial condition. Further, prolonged Russia-Ukraine conflict that is currently impacting, inter
alia, global trade, prices of oil and gas could have an inflationary impact on the Indian economy.
57. Political, economic or other factors that are beyond our control may have an adverse effect on our business and
results of operations.
The Indian economy and capital markets are influenced by economic, political and market conditions in India
and globally. We currently carry out real estate development only in India and, as a result, are dependent on
prevailing economic conditions in India. Our results of operations and cash flows are significantly affected by
factors influencing the Indian economy.
Factors that may adversely affect the Indian economy, and hence our results of operations, may include:
a. high rates of inflation in India could increase our costs without proportionately increasing our revenue,
and as such decrease our operating margins;
b. high rates of interest could result in an increase in cost of funds for us as well as our customers;
e. any scarcity of credit or other financing, resulting in an adverse impact on economic conditions and
scarcity of financing for our expansions or undertaking new real estate projects;
g. volatility in, and actual or perceived trends in trading activity on, the relevant market’s principal stock
exchanges;
i. political instability, terrorism or military conflict in the region or globally, including in various
neighbouring countries;
k. any downgrading of debt rating of India by a domestic or international rating agency; and
58. Governmental actions and changes in policy could adversely affect our business.
The Government of India and the State Governments in India have broad powers to affect the Indian economy and
our business in numerous ways. Additionally, we operate our business in several countries and any change in
policies in such countries may affect our business. Any change in the existing policies of Government of India and,
or, State Government, or foreign government policies, or new policies affecting the economy of India or any
foreign country, where we operate our business, could adversely affect our business operations. Moreover, we also
cannot assure you that the Central Government or State Governments in India, or foreign government in countries
where we operate will not implement new regulations and policies which will require us to obtain additional
54
approvals and licenses from the Government and other regulatory bodies or impose onerous requirements and
conditions on our operations. We cannot predict the terms of any new policy, and we cannot assure you that such
policy will not be onerous. Such new policy may also adversely affect our business, cash flows, financial condition
and prospects.
59. The Government of India or state governments may exercise rights of compulsory purchase or eminent domain
over our land, which could adversely affect our business operations.
The right to own property in India is subject to restrictions that may be imposed by the Government of India. In
particular, the Government of India, under the provisions of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in
Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 (Land Acquisition Act) has the right to compulsorily
acquire any land if such acquisition is for a ‘public purpose’, after providing compensation to the owner. However,
the compensation paid pursuant to such acquisition may not be adequate to compensate the owner for the loss of
such property. The likelihood of such acquisitions may increase as central and state governments seek to acquire
land for the development of infrastructure projects such as roads, railways, airports, and townships. Additionally,
we may face difficulties in interpreting and complying with the provisions of the Land Acquisition Act due to
limited jurisprudence on them or if our interpretation differs from or contradicts any judicial pronouncements or
clarifications issued by the government. In the future, we may face regulatory actions, or we may be required to
undertake remedial steps. Any such action in respect of any of the projects in which have invested or may invest
in the future may adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations including delays in
commissioning schedule of our projects.
60. We may be affected by competition law in India and any adverse application or interpretation of the Competition
Act could adversely affect our business.
The Competition Act, 2002, of India, as amended (Competition Act) regulates practices having an appreciable
adverse effect on competition (AAEC) in the relevant market in India. Under the Competition Act, any formal or
informal arrangement, understanding or action in concert, which causes or is likely to cause an AAEC is considered
void and results in the imposition of substantial penalties. Further, any agreement among competitors which
directly or indirectly involves the determination of purchase or sale prices, limits or controls production, shares the
market by way of geographical area or number of guests in the relevant market or directly or indirectly results in
bid-rigging or collusive bidding is presumed to have an AAEC in the relevant market in India and is considered
void. The Competition Act also prohibits abuse of a dominant position by any enterprise.
On March 4, 2011, the Government issued and brought into force the combination regulation (merger control)
provisions under the Competition Act with effect from June 1, 2011. These provisions require acquisitions of
shares, voting rights, assets or control or mergers or amalgamations that cross the prescribed asset and turnover
based thresholds to be mandatorily notified to and pre-approved by the Competition Commission of India (CCI).
Additionally, on May 11, 2011, the CCI issued Competition Commission of India (Procedure for Transaction of
Business Relating to Combinations) Regulations, 2011, as amended, which sets out the mechanism for
implementation of the merger control regime in India.
The Competition Act aims to, among others, prohibit all agreements and transactions which may have an AAEC
in India. Consequently, all agreements entered into by us could be within the purview of the Competition Act.
Further, the CCI has extra-territorial powers and can investigate any agreements, abusive conduct or combination
occurring outside India if such agreement, conduct or combination has an AAEC in India. However, the impact of
the provisions of the Competition Act on the agreements entered into by us cannot be predicted with certainty at
this stage. We are currently not a party to an outstanding proceeding, nor have we received any notice in relation
to non-compliance with the Competition Act and the agreements entered into by us. However, if we are affected,
directly or indirectly, by the application or interpretation of any provision of the Competition Act, or any
enforcement proceedings initiated by the CCI, or any adverse publicity that may be generated due to scrutiny or
prosecution by the CCI or if any prohibition or substantial penalties are levied under the Competition Act, it would
adversely affect our business, results of operations and prospects.
61. A downgrade in ratings of India, may affect the trading price of the Equity Shares.
Our borrowing costs and our access to the debt capital markets depend significantly on the credit ratings of India.
India’s sovereign rating is Baa3 with a ‘negative’ outlook (Moody’s), BBB– with a ‘stable’ outlook (S&P) and
BBB– with a ‘negative’ outlook (Fitch). Any adverse revisions to India’s credit ratings for domestic and
55
international debt by international rating agencies may adversely impact our ability to raise additional financing
and the interest rates and other commercial terms at which such financing is available, including raising any
overseas additional financing. A downgrading of India’s credit ratings may occur, for example, upon a change of
government tax or fiscal policy, which are outside our control. This could have an adverse effect on our ability to
fund our growth on favourable terms or at all, and consequently adversely affect our business and financial
performance and the price of our Equity Shares.
62. The occurrence of natural or man-made disasters could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows
and financial condition. Hostilities, terrorist attacks, civil unrest and other acts of violence could adversely
affect the financial markets and our business.
The occurrence of natural disasters, including cyclones, storms, floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, fires, explosions,
pandemic disease and man-made disasters, including acts of terrorism and military actions, could adversely affect
our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war may
adversely affect the Indian securities markets. In addition, any deterioration in international relations, especially
between India and its neighbouring countries, may result in investor concern regarding regional stability which
could adversely affect the price of the Equity Shares. In addition, India has witnessed local civil disturbances in
recent years and it is possible that future civil unrest as well as other adverse social, economic or political events
in India could have an adverse effect on our business. Such incidents could also create a greater perception that
investment in Indian companies involves a higher degree of risk and could have an adverse effect on our business
and the market price of the Equity Shares.
63. Significant differences exist between Ind AS and other accounting principles, such as U.S. GAAP and IFRS,
which may be material to the Restated Consolidated Financial Information prepared and presented in
accordance with SEBI ICDR Regulations contained in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus
We have not attempted to quantify the impact of U.S. GAAP or any other system of accounting principles on the
financial data, prepared and presented in accordance with Ind AS for Fiscal 2023, Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021
included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, nor do we provide a reconciliation of our financial statements to
those of U.S. GAAP or any other accounting principles. U.S. GAAP differs in significant respects from Ind AS.
Accordingly, the degree to which the Restated Consolidated Financial Information included in this Draft Red
Herring Prospectus will provide meaningful information is entirely dependent on the reader's level of familiarity
with Ind AS and SEBI ICDR Regulations. Any reliance by persons not familiar with Indian accounting practices
on the financial disclosures presented in this Draft Red Prospectus should accordingly be limited. Additionally,
Ind AS differs in certain respects from IFRS and therefore financial statements prepared under Ind AS may be
substantially different from financial statements prepared under IFRS.
64. Rights of shareholders under Indian laws may be more limited than under the laws of other jurisdictions.
Indian legal principles related to corporate procedures, directors’ fiduciary duties and liabilities, and shareholders’
rights may differ from those that would apply to a company in another jurisdiction. Shareholders’ rights including
in relation to class actions, under Indian law may not be as extensive as shareholders’ rights under the laws of other
countries or jurisdictions. Investors may have more difficulty in asserting their rights as shareholder in an Indian
company than as shareholder of a corporation in another jurisdiction.
65. Financial difficulty and other problems in certain financial institutions in India could have a material adverse
effect on our business, results of operations, future cash flows and financial condition.
Indian financial system may be affected by financial difficulties faced by all or some of the Indian financial
institutions whose commercial soundness may be closely related as a result of credit, trading, clearing or other
relationships. This risk, which is sometimes referred to as ‘systemic risk’, may adversely affect financial
intermediaries, such as clearing agencies, banks, securities firms and exchanges. Any such difficulties or instability
of the Indian financial system in general could create an adverse market perception about Indian financial
institutions and banks and adversely affect our business.
66. Investors may be subject to Indian taxes arising out of capital gains on the sale of the Equity Shares.
Under current Indian tax laws, unless specifically exempted, capital gains arising from the sale of equity shares in
an Indian company are generally taxable in India. The Income Tax Act levies taxes on such long-term capital gains
56
exceeding ₹ 0.1 million arising from sale of equity shares on or after April 1, 2018, while continuing to exempt the
unrealized capital gains earned up to January 31, 2018 on such equity shares subject to specific conditions.
Accordingly, you may be subject to payment of long-term capital gains tax in India, in addition to payment of a
securities transaction tax (STT), on the sale of any Equity Shares held for more than 12 months. STT will be levied
on and collected by a domestic stock exchange on which the Equity Shares are sold. Any gain realized on the sale
of Equity Shares held for more than 12 months, which are sold other than on a recognized stock exchange and on
which no STT has been paid, will be subject to long term capital gains tax in India.
Further, any gain realized on the sale of listed equity shares held for a period of 12 months or less will be subject
to short term capital gains tax in India. Capital gains arising from the sale of the Equity Shares will be exempted
from taxation in India in cases where the exemption from taxation in India is provided under a treaty between India
and the country of which the seller is resident. Generally, Indian tax treaties do not limit India’s ability to impose
tax on capital gains. As a result, residents of other countries may be liable for tax in India as well as in their own
jurisdiction on a gain upon the sale of the Equity Shares.
67. Investors may have difficulty enforcing foreign judgments against us or our management.
We are incorporated under the laws of India and all our Directors and Key Managerial Personnel reside in India.
A majority of our assets, and the assets of our Directors and officers, are also located in India. Where investors
wish to enforce foreign judgments in India, they may face difficulties in enforcing such judgments. India is not a
party to any international treaty in relation to the recognition or enforcement of foreign judgments. India exercises
reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters with a limited number of
jurisdictions. In order to be enforceable, a judgment obtained in a jurisdiction which India recognises as a
reciprocating territory must meet certain requirements of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, of India (Civil Code).
Further, the Civil Code only permits enforcement of monetary decrees not being in the nature of any amounts
payable in respect of taxes or, other charges of a like nature or in respect of a fine or other penalty and does not
provide for the enforcement of arbitration awards. Judgments or decrees from jurisdictions not recognised as a
reciprocating territory by India cannot be enforced or executed in India. Even if a party were to obtain a judgment
in such a jurisdiction, it would be required to institute a fresh suit upon the judgment and would not be able to
enforce such judgment by proceedings in execution. Further, the party which has obtained such judgment must
institute the new proceedings within three years of obtaining the judgement.
As a result, you may be unable to: (i) effect service of process outside of India upon us and such other persons or
entities; or (ii) enforce in courts outside of India judgments obtained in such courts against us and such other
persons or entities. It is unlikely that a court in India would award damages on the same basis as a foreign court if
an action were brought in India. Furthermore, it is unlikely that an Indian court would enforce foreign judgments
if it viewed the amount of damages awarded as excessive or inconsistent with Indian practice. A party seeking to
enforce a foreign judgment in India is required to obtain prior approval from the RBI to repatriate any amount
recovered pursuant to the execution of such foreign judgment, and any such amount may be subject to income tax
in accordance with applicable laws.
68. Financial instability, economic developments and volatility in securities markets in other countries may also
cause the price of the Equity Shares to decline.
The Indian economy and its securities markets are influenced by economic developments and volatility in securities
markets in other countries. Investors’ reactions to developments in one country may have adverse effects on the
market price of securities of companies located in other countries, including India. For instance, the economic
downturn in the U.S. and several European countries during a part of Fiscals 2008 and 2009 adversely affected
market prices in the global securities markets, including India. Following the United Kingdom’s exit from the
European Union (Brexit), there still remains significant uncertainty around the impact of Brexit on the general
economic conditions in the United Kingdom and the European Union and any consequential impact on global
financial markets. In addition, China is one of India’s major trading partners and there are rising concerns of a
possible slowdown in the Chinese economy as well as a strained relationship with India, which could have an
adverse impact on the trade relations between the two countries. Further, the recent collapse of the Silicon Valley
Bank also caused economic downturn. Negative economic developments, such as rising fiscal or trade deficits, or
a default on national debt, in other emerging market countries may also affect investor confidence and cause
increased volatility in Indian securities markets and indirectly affect the Indian economy in general.
A loss of investor confidence in the financial systems of other emerging markets may cause increased volatility in
57
Indian financial markets and the Indian economy in general. Any worldwide financial instability could also have
a negative impact on the Indian economy, including the movement of exchange rates and interest rates in India.
Any financial disruption could have an adverse effect on our business, future financial performance, shareholders’
equity and the price of the Equity Shares.
69. Under Indian law, foreign investors are subject to investment restrictions that limit our ability to attract foreign
investors, which may adversely impact the trading price of the Equity Shares.
Under foreign exchange regulations currently in force in India, transfer of shares between non-residents and
residents are freely permitted, subject to certain exceptions, if they comply with the valuation and reporting
requirements specified by the RBI. If a transfer of shares is not in compliance with such requirements and does not
fall under any of the exceptions specified by the RBI, then the RBI’s prior approval is required. In addition,
shareholders who seek to convert Rupee proceeds from a sale of shares in India into foreign currency and repatriate
that foreign currency from India require a no-objection or a tax clearance certificate from the Indian income tax
authorities. We cannot assure you that any required approval from the RBI or any other Government agency can
be obtained on any particular terms or at all. For further details, see ‘Restrictions on Foreign Ownership of Indian
Securities’ on page 434.
Further, in accordance with Press Note No. 3 (2020 Series), dated April 17, 2020, issued by the DPIIT and the
FEMA Rules, any investment, subscription, purchase or sale of equity instruments by entities, investments under
the foreign direct investment route by entities of a country which shares land border with India or where the
beneficial owner of an investment into India is situated in or is a citizen of any such country will require prior
approval of the Government of India. Further, in the event of transfer of ownership of any existing or future foreign
direct investment in an entity in India, directly or indirectly, resulting in the beneficial ownership falling within the
aforesaid restriction/ purview, such subsequent change in the beneficial ownership will also require approval of
the Government of India. We cannot assure you that any required approval from the RBI or any other governmental
agency can be obtained on any particular terms, in a timely manner or at all.
70. Our ability to raise foreign capital or borrowings may be constrained by Indian law.
As an Indian company, we are subject to exchange controls that regulate borrowing in foreign currencies. Such
regulatory restrictions could constrain our ability to obtain financings on competitive terms and refinance existing
indebtedness. In addition, we cannot assure you that any required regulatory approvals for borrowing in foreign
currencies will be granted to us without onerous conditions, or at all. Limitations on foreign debt may have an
adverse effect on our business growth, financial condition and results of operations.
71. If security or industry analysts do not publish research, or publish unfavourable or inaccurate research about
the business of our Company, the price and trading volume of the Equity Shares may decline.
The trading market for the Equity Shares may depend, in part, on the research and reports that securities or industry
analysts publish about us or our business. We may be unable to sustain coverage by established and, or, prominent
securities and industry analysts. If either none or only a limited number of securities or industry analysts maintain
coverage of our Company, or if these securities or industry analysts are not widely respected within the general
investment community, the trading price for our Equity Shares would be negatively impacted. In the event we
obtain securities or industry analyst coverage, if one or more of the analysts downgrade our Equity Shares or
publish inaccurate or unfavourable research about our business, our Equity Shares price may decline. If one or
more of these analysts cease coverage of our Company or fail to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our
Equity Shares could decrease, which might cause the price and trading volume of our Equity Shares to decline.
72. Holders of Equity Shares may be restricted in their ability to exercise pre-emptive rights under Indian law and
thereby suffer future dilution of their ownership position.
Under the Companies Act, a company incorporated in India must offer its equity shareholders pre-emptive rights
to subscribe and pay for a proportionate number of equity shares to maintain their existing ownership percentages
prior to issuance of any new equity shares, unless the pre-emptive rights have been waived by the adoption of a
special resolution by holders of three-fourths of the equity shares voting on such resolution. However, if the law
of the jurisdiction that you are in does not permit the exercise of such pre-emptive rights without our filing an
offering document or registration statement with the applicable authority in such jurisdiction, you will be unable
to exercise such pre-emptive rights, unless we make such a filing. If we elect not to file a registration statement,
58
the new securities may be issued to a custodian, who may sell the securities for your benefit. The value such
custodian receives on the sale of any such securities and the related transaction costs cannot be predicted. To the
extent that you are unable to exercise pre-emptive rights granted in respect of the Equity Shares, your proportional
interests in our Company may be reduced.
73. QIBs and Non-Institutional Investors are not permitted to withdraw or lower their Bids (in terms of quantity of
Equity Shares or the Bid Amount) at any stage after submitting a Bid.
Pursuant to the SEBI ICDR Regulations, QIBs and Non-Institutional Investors are not permitted to withdraw or
lower their Bids (in terms of quantity of Equity Shares or the Bid Amount) at any stage after submitting a Bid.
Retail Individual Investors can revise their Bids during the Bid/Issue Period and withdraw their Bids until Bid/Issue
Closing Date. While our Company is required to complete Allotment pursuant to the Issue within 6 Working Days
from the Bid/Issue Closing Date, events affecting the Bidders’ decision to invest in the Equity Shares, including
material adverse changes in international or national monetary policy, financial, political or economic conditions,
our business, results of operation or financial condition may arise between the date of submission of the Bid and
Allotment. Our Company may complete the Allotment of the Equity Shares even if such events occur, and such
events limit the Bidders’ ability to sell the Equity Shares Allotted pursuant to the Issue or cause the trading price
of the Equity Shares to decline on listing.
74. A third party could be prevented from acquiring control of our Company because of anti-takeover provisions
under Indian law.
There are provisions in Indian law that may delay, deter or prevent a future takeover or change in control of our
Company, even if a change in control would result in the purchase of your Equity Shares at a premium to the
market price or would otherwise be beneficial to you. Such provisions may discourage or prevent certain types of
transactions involving actual or threatened change in control of our Company. Under the SEBI Takeover
Regulations, an acquirer has been defined as any person who, directly or indirectly, acquires or agrees to acquire
shares or voting rights or control over a company, whether individually or acting in concert with others. Although
these provisions have been formulated to ensure that interests of investors or shareholders are protected, these
provisions may also discourage a third party from attempting to take control of our Company. Consequently, even
if a potential takeover of our Company would result in the purchase of the Equity Shares at a premium to their
market price or would otherwise be beneficial to its stakeholders, it is possible that such a takeover would not be
attempted.

SECTION IV: PARTICULARS OF THE ISSUE
Issue
The Issue comprises of a fresh issue of up to [●] Equity Shares aggregating up to ₹ 4,300.00 million. The proceeds of
the Issue, after deducting the Issue related expenses, are estimated to be ₹ [●] million (Net Proceeds).
Our Company proposes to utilise the Net Proceeds from the Issue towards the following objects:
1. Funding a part of the costs to be incurred in the development of our Ongoing Projects (viz. Arkade Nest), and our
Upcoming Projects (Funding Development Expenses); and
2. Funding acquisition of yet-to-be identified land for real estate projects and general corporate purposes,
(collectively, the Objects).
In addition, our Company expects to receive the benefits of listing of our Equity Shares on the Stock Exchanges
including enhancing our Company’s visibility and brand image in MMR, Maharashtra and creating a public market
for our Company’s Equity Shares in India.
The main objects and objects incidental and ancillary to the main objects, as set out in our Company’s Memorandum
of Association, enable our Company to undertake our existing business activities and the activities proposed to be
funded from the Net Proceeds.
Net Proceeds
The details of the proceeds from the Issue are set forth in the table below:
(in ₹ million)
Particulars Estimated amount
Our Company proposes to deploy the Net Proceeds for the Objects in accordance with the estimated schedule of
implementation and deployment of funds set forth in the table below.
The fund requirements, the deployment of funds and the intended use of the Net Proceeds as described herein are
based on our Company’s current business plan, management estimates, prevailing market conditions and other
commercial and technical factors. However, such fund requirements and deployment of funds have not been appraised
by any bank, or financial institution. See ‘Risk Factor - The objects of the Issue for which funds are being raised have
not been appraised by any bank or financial institution and are based on management estimates’ on page 49. Our
Company may have to revise its funding requirements and deployment on account of a variety of factors such as
financial and market conditions, the conditions prevailing in the real estate market in the MMR and India, change in
the legal and regulatory landscape affecting the real estate industry, macro-economic factors, change in government
policy, changes in business and strategy, competition, and other external factors such as changes in the business
environment and interest or exchange rate fluctuations, which may not be within the control of our Company’s
management. This may entail rescheduling or revising the planned expenditure and funding requirements, including
the expenditure for a particular purpose at the discretion of our Company’s management, subject to compliance with
applicable laws.
In the event that the estimated utilisation of the Net Proceeds in a scheduled fiscal year is not completely met, such
unutilised amounts shall be utilised (in part or full) in the next fiscal year, as may be determined by our Company, in
accordance with applicable laws. We may, however, utilize the proceeds prior to the specific periods mentioned in the
schedule of deployment, in accordance with the requirements of our Company. Subject to applicable laws, in the event
of any increase in the actual utilization of funds earmarked for the purposes set forth above, such additional funds for
92
a particular activity will be met by way of funding means available to us, including from internal accruals and any
additional equity and/or debt arrangements. Further, if the actual utilisation towards any of the Objects is lower than
the proposed deployment such balance will be used towards general corporate purposes, provided that the total amount
to be utilised towards general corporate purposes and acquisition of future real estate projects will not exceed 35% of
the Gross Proceeds in accordance with Regulation 7(3) of the SEBI ICDR Regulations.
1. Funding a part of the costs to be incurred in the development of our Ongoing Projects, and our Upcoming

Means of finance
Our Company proposes to utilise ₹ 2,700 million from the Net Proceeds to part fund our aggregate project cost of ₹
6,982.80 million (towards the aforementioned Ongoing Project viz. Arkade Nest, and our Upcoming Projects).
Accordingly, we are in compliance with the requirements prescribed under Paragraph 9(C)(1) of Part A of Schedule
VIII and Regulation 7(1)(e) of the SEBI ICDR Regulations which require firm arrangements of finance to be made
through verifiable means towards at least 75% of the stated means of finance, excluding the amount to be raised
through the Issue and existing identifiable internal accruals.
2. Funding acquisition of yet-to-be identified land for real estate projects and general corporate purposes
We propose to utilise up to ₹ [●] million of the Net Proceeds towards funding our land acquisition costs (Land
acquisition) for our future real estate projects and for the business requirements of our Company as approved by the
Board, from time to time, subject to such utilisation for funding for land acquisition and general corporate purposes
not exceeding 35% of the Gross Proceeds, in compliance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations.
Land is one of the critical to the development of new real estate projects. Mumbai, where our operations are based is
the most expensive real estate market in India, and, scarcity of land, coupled with the difficultly in acquiring suitable
land at affordable prices is a significant constraint in Mumbai (Source: Anarock Report). During last 3 Fiscals we
have purchased 3 land parcels aggregating 176,004 square feet for our projects Arkade Prime, Arkade Nest and Arkade
Aspire. Currently, we are in the process of executing 5 Ongoing Projects spread across different micro geographies of
the MMR, of which 3 are new projects for which we have acquired land. To continue our growth trajectory and to
remain competitive we will need to undertake new projects consistently which will require us identify and acquire
land. Further, once suitable land is identified, time may be of the essence in completing the sale given the scarcity of
land and the competition, and we may be required to make a significant capital outlay quickly. Accordingly, we are
proposing to acquire land for our future operations in the MMR region by deploying a part of the Net Proceeds. In
99
compliance with the SEBI (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2018, we propose to deploy
not more than 35% of the Issue Proceeds towards acquisition of unidentified land in the MMR region and general
corporate purposes, of which we will deploy not more than ₹ [●] million, towards acquisition of unidentified land.
The general corporate purposes for which our Company proposes to utilise the Net Proceeds include, without
limitation, meeting ongoing general corporate contingencies, meeting our business requirements, funding growth
opportunities, including funding any new or proposed projects, payment of commission and/or fees to consultants,
and any other purpose, as may be approved by our Board or a duly constituted committee thereof from time to time,
subject to compliance with applicable law, including provisions of the Companies Act. In the event our Company is
unable to utilise the Net Proceeds towards any of the Objects of the Issue for any of the reasons as aforementioned,
our Company may utilise such Net Proceeds towards general corporate purposes, provided that the aggregate amount
deployed towards general corporate purposes shall not exceed 25% of the Gross Proceeds.
The quantum of utilisation of funds towards each of the above purposes will be determined by our Board, based on
the amount available under this head and the business requirements of our Company, from time to time. Our
Company’s management shall have flexibility in utilising surplus amounts, if any. In the event that we are unable to
utilise the entire amount that we have currently estimated for use out of Net Proceeds in a Fiscal, we will utilise such
unutilised amount(s) in the subsequent Fiscals.
The total expenses of the Issue are estimated to be approximately ₹ [●] million. The expenses of this Issue include,
among others, listing fees, underwriting fees, selling commission, fees payable to the BRLM, fees payable to legal
counsel, Registrar to the Issue, Bankers to the Issue, processing fee to the SCSBs for processing Bid cum Application
Forms, brokerage and selling commission payable to members of the Syndicate, Registered Brokers, Collecting RTAs

Company’s Shareholders
1. Special Income tax benefits available to the Group under the Income Tax Act, 1961 Lower corporate
tax rate under section 115BAA
A new section 115BAA has been inserted in the Act by the Taxation Laws (Amendment) Act, 2019 (“the
Amendment Act, 2019”) w.e.f. April 1, 2020 (A.Y. 2020-21). Section 115BAA grants an option to a domestic
company to be governed by the section from a particular assessment year. If a company opts for section 115BAA
of the Act, it can pay corporate tax at a reduced rate of 25.168% (22% plus surcharge of 10% and education cess
of 4%). Section 115BAA of the Act further provides that domestic companies availing the option will not be
required to pay Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) on their ‘book profits’ under section 115JB of the Act. However,
such a company will no longer be eligible to avail specified exemptions / incentives under the Act and will also
need to comply with the other conditions specified in section 115BAA. Also, if a company opts for section
115BAA, the tax credit (under section 115JAA), if any, which it is entitled to on account of MAT paid in earlier
years, will no longer be available. Further, it shall not be allowed to claim set-off of any brought forward loss
arising to it on account of additional depreciation and other specified incentives.
Up to 31 March 2020, any dividend paid to a shareholder by a company was liable to Dividend Distribution Tax
(“DDT”), and the recipient shareholder was exempt from tax. Pursuant to the amendment made by the Finance
Act, 2020, DDT stands abolished and dividend received by a shareholder on or after 1 April 2020 is liable to
tax in the hands of the shareholder. The Group is required to deduct tax at source (“TDS”) at applicable rate
specified under the Act read with applicable Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (if any). With respect to a
resident corporate shareholder, a new section 80M has been inserted in the Act to remove the cascading effect
of taxes on inter-corporate dividends during FY 2020-21 and thereafter. Subject to the fulfilment of prescribed
conditions, the section provides that where the gross total income of a domestic company in any previous year
includes any income by way of dividends from any other domestic company or a foreign company or a business
trust, there shall, in accordance with and subject to the provisions of this section, be allowed in computing the
total income of such domestic company, a deduction of an amount equal to so much of the amount of income by

India recently achieved the coveted position of being the 5 th largest global economy, by dislodging the United
Kingdom. This has been significant progress from being in the 11 th position a decade ago. Despite the IMF’s
downward GDP revision for India, from 6.1% to 5.9% for FY24, India continues to be the fastest-growing economy
across the world and is considered as ‘very strong’.
The ambitious investment plans, infrastructure development, and continued government spending on national progress
have driven India’s economic growth. With rapid progress, it is anticipated that India can become the 4 th largest
economy by 2027, by replacing Germany. Further, by the end of this decade India is expected to surpass Japan as the
3rd largest economy in the world only behind China and the United States of America.
GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT GROWTH & FUTURE PROJECTIONS (FY24, FY25, FY26) & IN-BOUND
INVESTMENT INTO INDIA
The Indian economy has yet again emerged as a performer by maintaining its growth trajectory as the highest
compared to the other nations. The final quarter of the last fiscal - Q4 FY23 - recorded economic growth of 6.1%
which pushed the entire fiscal year’s growth to 7.2%. This was mainly driven by the manufacturing sector’s output in
the fourth quarter, which grew by 4.5% year on year compared to a 1.1% contraction in the previous quarter. The farm
sector output also rose to 5.5% compared to 3.7% during the above period. India’s economic expansion validates the
nation’s growth optimism despite the global headwinds.

-6.6%
The quarterly growth rates for the current fiscal (FY24), as forecasted by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) are
expected to be between 5% - 8% with a strong first quarter. The optimistic projections are based on the better Rabi
crop output, moderating commodity prices, the monsoon trajectory, and the government’s plan for higher capital
expenditure.
In the year gone by, the gross fixed capital formation also rose by 11.4% in FY23 accounting for nearly 34% of the
GDP, which is also the highest since FY15. The higher the capital formation, the faster an economy can grow its
aggregate income.
Though the RBI has revised the forecast and is optimistic because of the above-mentioned factors, the IMF and other
global agencies appear to continue with a conservative stance for India. However, the growth momentum of the Indian
economy continues and is going to be much better than the major economies. As per the IMF estimates, India is
expected to lead economic growth and contribute significantly to the global GDP.

The IMF’s World Economic Outlook states that the size of the Indian economy is slated to grow from USD 3.5 trillion
in 2021-22 to over USD 5.0 trillion in 2026-27. To achieve this milestone, the union government has already made
concentrated efforts. Some of the initiatives such as the National infrastructure pipeline of projects, push to capital
expenditure, implementation of the production-linked incentive scheme and the national monetisation pipeline of
public sector assets are focussed steps to achieve the same.
India continues to be a strategic market for global firms in many ways owing to its multitude of offerings and intrinsic
strengths that creates tremendous opportunities for greenfield and brownfield developments. An enabling policy
framework with a large, competitive, and skilled labour market is a major advantage. Steadily rising income levels
and the increase in non-metropolitan cities that offer large-scale employment and growth opportunities across the
country offer ample prospects for investors to participate in the growth cycle.
The last decade has witnessed rising investments from many investors which led to a peak in 2021-22. However, the
prevailing geopolitical turmoil and global uncertainties have cautioned many investors resulting in a slowdown in
investments.
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) For the first time in a decade, the FDI declined by 16% to USD 71 billion in FY23.
This may be attributed to the high inflation and uncertain macroeconomic situation in the U.S. and the Eurozone.
The services sector comprises mainly the financial, banking, insurance, non-financial/business, outsourcing, R&D,
courier, and tech. testing and analysis among others together with the computer hardware & software received the
highest quantum of investments during the year. Together they accounted for USD 18,101 million, 26% of the total
FDI in FY23.
120
FDI inflows in the construction development sector comprising Townships, housing, built-up infrastructure, and
construction-development projects were USD 146 million in FY23, 17% higher than the previous year. The
cumulative inflow in this sector since April 2000 has been USD 26, 356 billion and accounts for 4% of the total FDI
inflows during the period.

According to data from the DPIIT, Maharashtra, and Karnataka were the frontrunners in attracting FDI inflows in
FY23. Maharashtra emerged as the top recipient of FDI with a total of US$14.80 billion, followed by Karnataka
(US$10.42 billion).

Though the private equity investments in Indian real estate remained stable in FY23, compared to the previous year,
domestic funds were seen to be more aggressive. The total investments during the fiscal were estimated to be USD
4.2 billion which is like the last year. Equity investments continued to dominate and accounted for 67% of the total
investments during the year. The 33% accounting for debt is mainly dominated by the investments in the residential
real estate segment, which is significantly higher than 20% in the previous fiscal.
The commercial office real estate segment continued to dominate the investment markets with a 40% share of the total
in FY23 compared to 38% in the previous year. The residential segment received the second highest investments
accounting for 29% of the share which has nearly doubled from 15% in the previous year. The industrial and logistics
segment witnessed muted investments accounting for only a share of 6% from 10% in the previous fiscal. Data centres
also received significant PE investments during the year as it forms an integral part of the expansion strategy of many
companies operating hyper-scalers. This is mainly due to the exponential rise in data consumption expected in the
coming years as the government furthers its programs in digital India.
As India’s economic size continues to grow and investors continue to increase their allocations for emerging markets,
the Indian PERE market is likely to receive a fair share of attention and consideration. However, the immediate term
may be contingent on several headwinds like the re-surfacing of inflation and any further aggravation of the geo-
political conflict.
The 2011 census shows a 28.51% rise in the number of households to 246.69 million from 191.96 million in 2001.
Homeownership, during the said period, increased from 166.35 million to 213.53 million, a rise of 28.36%.
Homeownership in rural areas stands at 95% indicating the rising prosperity in the area. It is also interesting to note
that there has been a significant rise in rental housing in urban areas. The rented households in urban areas increased
from 15.32 million in 2001 to 21.72 million in 2011, indicating the rapid urbanisation driven by the migration of the
population to the cities in search of livelihood and better employment prospects.

Urbanisation is seen to lead the demand for real estate in new and emerging micro markets which develop to
accommodate the influx of migrants. The large consumer base in India has been instrumental in attracting many
foreign entities to set up operations here to reap the benefits of a growing and aspirational market. Along with the
rising population, India’s urbanization rate is also increasing at a fast pace. As per UNDP projections, approximately
50% of India’s population will be urban by 2046. Rapid urbanization is expected to drive the demand for housing,
offices, and other real estate asset classes in the medium to long term. UNDP has projected that there will be 8 cities
with a population of 10 million and above by the year 2035 in India, highlighting the unmet housing demand.
The Ministry of Housing & Urban Poverty Alleviation estimated a housing shortage of 18.78 Mn houses during the
12th-period plan with 99% in the economically weaker section (EWS) and lower income group (LIG). The following
figure provides the details of the Urban Housing shortage in India.
123
14.99
To address the housing shortage in the country, the Government of India has launched Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana
(PMAY). The objective of the mission is to promote housing for all, being implemented during 2015-2022, which
provides central assistance to Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) and other implementing agencies through States/UTs. The
scheme provides bi-fold incentives to developers as well as buyers/owners.
The aggressive stance by the Government has displayed a favourable performance as can be seen from the chart below,
which shows the status of the scheme so far.

Nuclearization of Families
As urbanisation rises and families migrate to urban centres in pursuit of livelihood, aspirational living, or better
employment prospects, family sizes are seen to disintegrate leading to their nuclearization. According to the last census
in 2011, all the major cities and their urban agglomerations are witnessing a reduction in family sizes.
It can be observed that there is a reduction in the average household sizes in almost all the cities. Bengaluru has the
least average household size followed by Chennai. The average household size in many of the Tier I cities is now
close to 4. Reduction in average household size further leads to an increase in demand for housing.

The Per Capita Net National Income of India in 2022-23 was over INR 1,72,000. While the per capita has declined
during the period of the pandemic it has continuously risen ever since. Interestingly it has nearly doubled in less than
a decade despite being affected by the pandemic.
Though the income levels have grown by 16% on year, the distribution of wealth is uneven across the landscape of
the country with a population of over 1.4 billion. A report titled “Survival of the Richest” published at the World
Economic Forum 2023 states that 40.5% of the total wealth of India in 2021 was concentrated in the top 1% while
the bottom 50% had only 3% of the total wealth.
The housing demand in India has always been high as homeownership is an emotional decision and this asset assures
safety and financial stability along with a social standing. The rapid urbanisation the country has undergone during
the past few decades has also risen the housing demand.
The housing demand has also transitioned, predominantly in the urban landscape, from investors and speculators to
end users. The reforms in the last decade, such as RERA, GST, IBC, and Demonetisation have been instrumental in
altering the growth course of the housing market across the country.
Post the reforms, the supply-demand trend across the major markets has altered significantly. Supply exceeding sales,
which was a more pronounced phenomenon in the pre-reforms regime led to high unsold inventory. This has changed
to sales leading the supply in the past few years, which indicates a healthy market condition and is mostly driven by
end users.
Earlier, to contain the cost, the developers were resorting to reducing the unit sizes. The pandemic challenged this and
now we see bigger and more functional homes are emerging as the need. Buyers today are more discerning and are
looking for homes that come with rich and diverse amenities and features for a complete living and well-being.
126
These trends are not only limited to tier I or the larger metropolitan centres but have spread to tier II & III cities as
well. The rising income levels and increased aspirations for comfortable living in a healthy and self-sustained
environment are gradually gaining momentum.
Buyers today are also seen to be patronising environment-friendly green developments. They are no longer hesitant
to pay a premium for sustainable initiatives and features that can reduce the carbon footprint and reversing the
ecological damage inflicted on the environment.
The residential real estate market is also witnessing the entry of large, listed, and established corporate houses. In a
post reforms regime, the housing segment is now regaining the confidence of the buyers, investors, and stakeholders.
It is now more transparent and accountable than before with most of the players exhibiting strong corporate
governance. The rise in the market share of the large and listed players from 17% in 2016-17 to nearly one-third
currently depicts the same.
The government has also taken up initiatives through the PMAY and is committed to providing housing for all. Rapid
progress has been made by the government with nearly 120 lakh houses being sanctioned and over 75 lakh houses
completed. The total approval by the central government for the scheme is estimated to be INR 8.19 lakh crore.
The mass migration of labourers during the pandemic and the government’s resolve to ensure a constant supply of
workers at all the development sites, the Affordable Rental Housing Complexes have also been announced under the
PMAY. This is aimed to provide ease of living to urban migrants, Industrial workers in the non-formal urban economy
to get access to dignified affordable rental housing close to their workplace.
The smart cities mission is also a major step to provide services and improved living standards to the residents. The
focus is to provide data-centric solutions to improve municipal services and related infrastructure such as the
development of a multi-modal transport hub, multi-level car parking, ridesharing, and renting among others. As part
of the mission, 1,104 smart mobility projects worth INR 22,785 crore have been completed so far while 526 projects
are at advanced stages of development. Similarly, 984 public spaces have been developed in cities for INR 5,861
crore.
The housing sector currently is on a strong foundation and the market is being run by large and listed players who are
capable of creating new benchmarks. The launch pipeline appears to be healthy and the anticipated price appreciation
in the coming years will continue to motivate the developers. As the end-users are driving demand and the supply has
also rationalised, the market conditions are most conducive for all stakeholders.
The rising mortgage rates and appreciating prices have been driving the affordability index in recent times. Housing
affordability is measured as the ratio of the home loan payment to the income of a household.
A steady rise in incomes and range-bound prices of residential assets in the past has been the reason for the best
affordability in FY22. Since May 2022, the rise in repo rates from 4.4% to 6.5% in May 2023 has caused affordability
to be impacted. However, affordability is still the best in two decades even after a series of interest rate hikes.

Compared to the advanced economies, the mortgage to GDP ratio in India is reasonably low (at around 10.3%) while
China is at 18%, the US at 52%, and Singapore at 45%. This offers significant upside potential in the future as the
economy grows and housing demand gains momentum.

As the nation progresses, aspirational demand for houses in urban and rural areas coupled with the desire for an
additional residential asset will drive the housing finance industry in the future. The growth that has been recorded in
the past may gain further momentum and sustain the same in the next few years. This may lead to the industry size
doubling in FY25 from the base of FY19 to INR 38 lakh crore.

Other Fixed Income Products
According to consumer surveys conducted by ANAROCK from 2018 to 2022, real estate emerged as the most
preferred asset class compared to other investment options. Over the period there has been a gradual rise in buyers'
inclination towards choosing real estate as an investment avenue.

The surveys indicate a significant growth in the preference for real estate as an asset class for investment, increasing
from 53% in 2018 to 61% in 2022. Additionally, due to the impact of rising interest rates, Fixed Deposits have also
experienced an upswing in preference over the past couple of years, climbing from 2% in the second half of 2021 to
8% in the second half of 2022.

Repo Rate Movement
To enhance liquidity in the market, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) implemented a series of measures, including a
reduction of 115 basis points in the repo rate between February 2020 and December 2021. This was primarily to infuse
liquidity into the system during the pandemic so that consumption could remain afloat. This reduction led to a decrease
in home loan interest rates. Additionally, the combination of rising household income and stable ticket prices has
contributed to an improvement in the affordability of residential units. However, as the threat of the pandemic receded,
the central bank revised the repo rates upwards and cause it to rise by 150 basis points in regular intervals from May
2022 to February 2023. Despite the rise in rates leading to the firming up of the home loan rates, the demand for
housing had remained buoyant.

Like various other sectors, the real estate industry experienced signs of recovery in the fourth quarter of 2020 across
key asset classes such as residential properties, warehousing facilities, and office spaces. The residential segment
swiftly gained momentum in the last two quarters of 2020, primarily due to the increasing desire for homeownership,
which was amplified by the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. This surge in demand was bolstered by attractive
discounts and offers, low-interest rates on home loans, and temporary reductions in stamp duty in states like
Maharashtra. With increasing sales, developers added new projects, leading to a 2% year-on-year increase in supply
during Q4 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. Additionally, when compared to 2020, the new supply in the
top seven cities of India has risen by 84% in 2021 and nearly tripled in 2022, indicating a significant overall recovery
in the Indian residential real estate market.
Demand Re-Configuration
Regarding office spaces, it was expected that social distancing and hygiene regulations would lead to an increase in
per capita office allocations, even though a portion of employees will continue to work from home. Over the past
decade, the average allocation of office space per person has decreased from 100-125 square feet to 75-100 square
feet as of January 2020.
Furthermore, there was a growing demand for township projects in the residential sector. The COVID-19 pandemic
has emphasized the importance of larger and better homes for many families. As remote work has become the new
norm for certain sectors, homebuyers were seeking spacious and adaptable homes within self-sufficient environments,
131
offered at affordable prices. These homes were particularly sought after in the peripheral areas of tier-I cities and well-
developed locations in tier-II cities.
In addition to the long-term structural drivers, the demand for housing is poised at a crucial turning point that may
lead to sustained growth in both volume and pricing in the near to medium term. This can be attributed to the following
factors:
▪ Changing Requirements: The enforced lockdowns and the ongoing trend of remote work and online
schooling have shifted sentiment towards homes that can accommodate functional and flexible spaces for
work and study.
▪ Increased Affordability: Over the years, the ratio of home loan payments to income has been decreasing,
making housing more affordable for potential buyers.
▪ Lower Home Loan Rates: The reduction in home loan interest rates had further enhanced the purchasing
capacity of prospective homeowners. The momentum is seen to be continuing even after the rising of the
interest rates.
▪ Rental Yield vs Home Loan Rates: As the gap between rental yields and home loan rates narrows, there is a
growing preference for purchasing a home rather than renting, as it becomes a more financially viable option.
▪ Limited Safe Savings Avenues: With significantly reduced rates on fixed deposits and other safe savings
options, the attractiveness of real estate as an investment asset class has increased.
Collectively, these factors contribute to the potential for sustained growth in housing demand and pricing in the near
to medium term.
In the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic (specifically, April and May 2020), occupiers across various sectors
were adjusting to the work-from-home culture. However, from July to August 2020, certain financial institutions and
manufacturing occupiers began reevaluating the concept of working from the office to enhance employee productivity.
While working from home has its advantages, such as saving travel time, occupiers have also encountered drawbacks
like connectivity issues. As a result, ANAROCK predicts that the coexistence of work-from-home and work-from-
office arrangements is likely to be the future trend.
▪ Grade-A developers have observed consistent rent recovery rates from the third quarter of 2020 until the first
half of the fiscal year 2023. Despite the work-from-home culture leading to a consolidation in office space
demand, the COVID-19 pandemic has also generated a need for larger office spaces per employee.
▪ To adhere to stringent health and safety regulations, commercial buildings are anticipated to undergo a
transition towards incorporating more technology-enabled features. This shift aims to address potential safety
and security concerns in the future. Grade-A developers, with their resources and capabilities, are better
positioned to meet these stringent health and safety guidelines.
▪ Office occupiers in the MMR have been exploring setting up offices in proximity to the residential hotspots.
The occupiers are benefitting on three fronts:
i. Rents in the suburban micro-markets are low as compared to central and secondary business
districts.
ii. Large developers have quality developments with modern amenities.
iii. Employees can increase productivity by saving travel time.
INDIAN RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE DEMAND-SUPPLY DYNAMICS – CY 2017 TO 2023 (TILL Q1)
The Indian real estate sector faced challenges of adapting to various reforms and changes brought about by
demonetization, RERA, GST & IBC. These measures initially posed difficulties for the sector in aligning with the
new regulations. However, they ultimately proved beneficial by strengthening the industry and promoting
transparency, accountability, and financial discipline over the past few years. The structural changes introduced by
RERA and GST played a crucial role in enhancing the maturity and credibility of the sector, and gaining trust of
132
various stakeholders. Despite the hurdles, the real estate sector had been on a growth trajectory, showing promising
signs of emerging stronger than before. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted this growth momentum,
stalling progress temporarily. Nevertheless, the sector demonstrated resilience and managed to rebound in 2022 and
the top cities it surpassed the previous peak levels seen in 2014. This bounce back indicates the industry's ability to
recover and adapt, showcasing its potential for future growth and stability.
The following illustration showcases the transformation journey of Indian Residential Real Estate over the past decade:
The number of new launches has witnessed a remarkable surge over the past few years, despite facing various
headwinds, reflecting a robust growth in the industry. In 2020, due to COVID-19 pandemic, only 127,959 new units
were added across the top seven cities of India. However, in 2021, the new launches increased by an impressive 185%
to reach 236,693 units. This surge brought the number of launches in line with the records of 2019, indicating a
recovery and an upward trajectory for the sector. The positive trend continued into 2022 as well, with a substantial
improvement as the total number of new launches reached an impressive 358,000 units and witnessed record-breaking
housing sales of approximately 3,64,000 units. These statistics depict a thriving market characterized by a significant
increase in new launches, showcasing the sector vitality and potential for future growth.

In order to address the challenges confronted by residential real estate and improve transparency in the sector, the
government introduced a slew of measures at regular intervals. Following some of the key measures/policy interventions
done in the last few years, transparency and regulation in the sector has improved considerably. Some of the key measures
undertaken are outlined below:
Real Estate Regulation and Development Act came into effect from May 2016. The Act was aimed to usher
transparency, financial discipline, and accountability in the real estate sector. This was done to increase the confidence
level of the buyers and prevent the developers from willful misuse of funds that lead to a delay in project execution. The
reform came with key tenets that struck a chord with buyers as well as other stakeholders of the real estate sector. Some of
the key features of the act are as follows:
138
GST Implementation
Goods & Services Tax is one of the biggest tax reforms of India that came into force from 1st July 2017 to remove multiple
taxations and transform India into one nation, one market and one tax principle. In the real estate sector, ready-to-move-in
properties and land are exempt from GST. Initially, for ongoing projects, GST charged at the rate of 8% for affordable
housing (under 60 sq m in non-metropolitan cities/towns and 30 sq m in metropolitan cities) and 12% for projects other
than affordable with the provision to receive Input-Tax Credit (ITC).
Post the announcement on 1st April 2019, the GST rates on under-construction properties are lowered
As per the new rates, under-construction properties attract 5% GST without a provision to receive an ITC. Homebuyers
of affordable housing (Under construction properties priced up to INR 45 Lakhs qualified as affordable housing projects
for the purpose of GST relief both in metro as well as non-metro cities), are levied with only 1% GST without an ITC benefit.
Alternatively, for ongoing projects, where construction and actual booking both have started before 1st April 2019 and
which have not been completed by 31st March 2019, GST may be charged at the old rates with the provision to receive
ITC. Cost of ownership came down due to recent reduction in GST rates which is likely to boost the absorption in the
affordable segment.
The objective of the Benami Transactions (Prohibition) Amended Act 2016 (“Benami Act”) was to curb the use of
unaccounted cash transactions associated with properties and bring transparency in the real estate sector. While the
Benami Act is still in nascent stage of implementation to estimate the impact on the overall real estate sector, it is likely to
improve transparency and increase institutional investments in future.
Demonetization
The Government of India banned all INR 500 and INR 1,000 currency notes in November 2016, to curb black money and check
the circulation of fake currency. In the long term, this reform along with RERA has helped in organizing the real estate sector
to a certain extent, resulting in more institutional inflows in the sector.
Consolidation of Developers
The Indian real estate sector has consolidated in the past few years. With the implementation of RERA, the financially
weak developers were not able to adhere to compliance norms and were, therefore, either going out of business or
consolidating with larger players.
The following graph sets forth percentage decline in the number of developers in select Indian cities between 2012 and 2019:

-65% Bengaluru

-45% Kolkata
-28% Pune

According to Anarock, the consolidation of developers is likely to continue post the COVID-19 pandemic, with many weak
players ceasing to exist as the country emerges from this pandemic.
Post structural changes, consolidation is on the rise and the share of organized and branded players is rising.
The graph below shows the sales share analysis of various types of developers from FY’17 to 9MFY’23. Listed (in NSE/BSE)
and leading unlisted developers are showing an increase from 17% in FY’17 to 29% in FY’20. However, in FY’21, owing to
the effect of pandemic, resultant financial turmoil faced by the real estate players and slowdown of construction activities,
customers shifted their buying preference towards listed and leading unlisted developers. This resulted in a significant increase
in sales share of these developers to 35% in FY’21. FY’22 has witnessed improvement in this situation with availability of
finance to Tier 2 / non-branded developers as well which further improved the customer sentiments towards these developers.
Hence, sales share of the Tier 2 / non-branded developers improved marginally therefore bringing back the share of listed and
leading unlisted developers to the levels of 9M FY’23, i.e., 33%. Branded tier-1 developers are witnessing strong double-digit
growth. It is likely that in the near to medium term consolidation will further accelerate and listed players will see
disproportionate growth compared to the industry.

OVERVIEW OF MMR
Mumbai is the commercial and financial capital of India and houses the two stock exchanges which account for most of the
securities traded in the country. With the busiest single-runway airport in India and two large seaports, Mumbai accounts for
over half of India’s foreign trade, generates 6% of India’s GDP and one-third of the country’s tax revenues. Home to a
flourishing media and film industry, the city also serves as the entertainment capital of the country. Its economic base is well
diversified with a large presence of Banking and Financial Services Industry (BFSI), engineering, services, and IT/ITeS sectors,
and logistic companies.
Mumbai is one of the biggest and most expensive real estate markets in India. It has various micro-markets along with Mumbai
City, suburbs, extended suburbs and neighbouring areas such as Thane and Navi Mumbai. With the recent infrastructure
projects completing such as Monorail and Metro (Line 1), Mumbai witnessed significant physical infrastructure improvements.
Upcoming infrastructure projects (coastal roads, metros, etc.) in the medium term will improve connectivity further.
Mumbai boasts a wide range of industries and small to medium businesses, resulting in a diverse economic landscape. This
vibrant city generates employment opportunities throughout the entire value chain, encompassing both front and back-office
operations. It's worth noting that the introduction of additional office spaces in Mumbai's central and suburban areas has a
consequential impact on specific residential pockets within the suburban regions, such as Ghodbunder Road, albeit with a delay
of approximately 2-3 years.
Furthermore, the peripheral regions of Mumbai, including Panvel, Bhiwandi, and Kalyan, have witnessed notable growth in
logistics, e-commerce, and warehousing activities. The workforce employed in these areas has significantly contributed to the
demand for mid-end and affordable housing options in Extended Eastern Suburbs, Thane, and Navi Mumbai.
Mumbai being the financial hub of India is well connected with all the tier II & III cities in the country by air, road, and rail
networks. Road communications with hinterlands comprise of four National Highways converging at Mumbai. These provide
access to Pune (NH4), Goa (NH17), Gujarat (NH8), Nashik, Indore and Delhi (NH48).

Several infrastructure projects are underway in Greater Mumbai and MMR so as to achieve long-term sustainability and
increase the carrying capacity of the city’s transportation networks and thus improve traffic and transportation capacity in
Mumbai Metropolitan Region both capacity wise and quality wise. Some of the major projects are listed below.
143
Proposed, Upcoming & Completed Key Infrastructure Projects in Mumbai
Mumbai is popular for its traffic snarls. To decongest Mumbai’s roads, the Mumbai Metro Railway Corporation Limited
(MMRCL) has already started the construction of Colaba-Bandra-SEEPZ corridor of Metro-3 project. This underground metro
will prove to be a comfortable mode of transport. It will also lessen the crowd on the roads as well as in the local trains of
Mumbai. This system of the metro will connect the major financial hubs in Mumbai such as Nariman Point, Fort, Worli, Lower
Parel, BKC, Goregaon, etc. and also provide connectivity to the CSIA, SEEPZ, and MIDC. Many new real estate projects in
Mumbai are now coming up in the vicinity of these localities where the metro line will provide connectivity. The underground
metro will reduce travel time considerably and also provide comfort and security while traveling. Upon completion of all metro
lines, the core system will comprise 13 high-capacity metro railway lines stated below.

As of December 2022, Mumbai metro consisted of 1 operational line (Line 1) , 2 partial operational lines (Line 2A and 7) and
4 lines under various stages of construction. The entire stretch of Metro Line 2A and 7 have become operational from
20.01.2023.
Mumbai Monorail is a monorail system built as part of a major expansion of public transport in the city. The first phase of Line
1 that connects Chembur to Wadala Depot is already operational since February 2014 and consists of 7 stations in the
neighborhood of the Harbour railway line locations. The second phase of Line 1 consists of 11 stations from Wadala Depot to
Jacob Circle and the work for this phase was completed in February 2019 end.
The project consists of the construction of an 8-lane bridge across the deep sea through the Mumbai Harbour and connects to
local road networks through approaches/interchanges at both ends, i.e. at the Sewri end and the Nhava end. Mumbai Trans
Harbour link, also called as the Sewri Nava-Sheva Trans Harbour Link is a 21.8 km freeway bridge which will connect Mumbai
will Navi Mumbai. The eastern suburbs of Mumbai will connect with the mainland Mumbai through a 16.5 km sea bridge. The
freeway will also be connected to the Mumbai Pune Expressway and Western Freeway. This has had a positive boost to the
real estate in Mumbai. This trans Harbour Link will reduce the commuting time from Churchgate to Navi Mumbai from 40
minutes to 20 minutes. This also means that there will be super-fast connectivity to Navi Mumbai and Konkan region. With so
many upcoming projects in Navi Mumbai, the demand for real estate in pockets like Panvel has seen a huge rise. The project
construction started in April 2018 and estimated to be completed by November 2023.
The proposed Western Freeway is a north-south sea link connecting the Mumbai Western Suburbs and the island city.
• Bandra-Worli Sea Link: The Phase-I of the project, known as the Bandra-Worli Sea Link, was completed
in June 2009, and links Bandra in the north and Worli in the south.
• Worli to Haji Ali Sea Link: The Phase-II of the project is at the proposal stage designed to link Worli to
Haji Ali and shall cover 6.5 Km.
• Versova–Bandra Sea Link: The Phase-III of the project consist of is a 17.17 km under- construction bridge
which the suburb of Andheri to the Bandra-Worli Sea Link in Bandra, as part of the West Island Freeway.
A new airport is also proposed to be developed in the Kopra – Panvel area through PPP mode. The proposed project has been
continually delayed due to serious environmental issues related to mangroves and diversion of the river channel. The project
has now received some key (particularly environmental clearance) permissions. This airport will make Mumbai the first city in
India to house more than one airport. This airport is still under construction with construction already in process for Phase I and
is expected to complete by December 2024. After the completion of Phase I the airport is expected to handle 10 million
passengers per annum. Recently, the project is taken over by Adani Group. As soon as the foundation stones of the project were
laid, the demand for property in Navi Mumbai surrounding the airport saw an increase. The construction for the airport is
expected to generate more than 0.4 million direct and indirect jobs in Navi Mumbai. As the development prospects are high,
many real estate builders in Mumbai are planning to come up with real estate projects in Navi Mumbai.
The Coastal Road is an under construction 8-lane, 29.2-km long freeway that would run along Mumbai's western coastline
connecting Marine Lines in the south to Kandivali in the north which is divided into 2 phases. Phase I - 9.98 km section from
Princess Street Flyover at Marine Lines to the Worli end of the Bandra-Worli Sea Link (BWSL) which is under construction.
Phase II - 19.22 km road between the Bandra end of the BWSL and Kandivali, will be constructed by MSRDC which is
proposed. The phase includes the 9.5 km Versova-Bandra Sea Link.

Excellent Social Infrastructure
Locations in Mumbai and surrounding areas provide one of the best healthcare in the country, best education opportunity, retail,
recreational infrastructure. These aspects increase the quality of life & contribute to Housing demand.
Healthcare: Breach Candy Hospital (South Central Mumbai), Dr. L. H Hiranandani Hospital (Eastern Suburbs),
Jaslok Hospital (South Central Mumbai), Asian Heart Institute (Western Suburbs), Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani
Hospital (Western Suburbs), Nanavati Hospital (Western Suburbs), Jupiter Hospital (Thane), Apollo Hospital (Navi
Mumbai), Reliance Hospital (Navi Mumbai) etc.
Education: IIT Bombay (Eastern Suburbs), J. J. College of Architecture (South Central Mumbai), Mumbai University

Oberoi Mall, Goregaon (Western Suburbs), Inorbit, Vashi (Navi Mumbai), Viviana Mall (Thane), Lodha Experia,
Dombivali (Extended Eastern Suburbs), etc.
Higher disposable income of the working professionals in MMR with steady residential prices has contributed to the
residential demand in MMR.
Family Expansion
Family expansion/nuclear family trends have generated the demand for housing in the same or neighbouring
submarkets from the current place of residence.
Investment Activity
Some demand from the investor community to invest into residential real estate has helped in improving the overall
housing demand in MMR.
During the year 2020 there was a reduction in interest rates for home loans. Following the last rate cut by the RBI in
May 2020, all major banks in India reduced their home loan rates to sub- 7% level i.e., lowest interest levels. Record low
interest rates and several other measures taken by the RBI in the past, to support the real estate sector, will continue to boost
demand in the residential housing segment.
Further, there are various schemes launched by Developers which include a range of freebies, cash discounts, stamp duty
and GST waivers, 10:90 schemes, 5:95 schemes etc. which has further boosted the demand of housing in MMR.
“In MMR, a section of the supply of residential units originates from re-development projects. These projects may
originate from slum rehabilitation, MHADA layouts redevelopment, cessed buildings redevelopment or housing
societies redevelopment. In our estimation (note 1), the supply for the period of 2017 to Q12023 is approximately
52,000 units. The assumptions being; a. on relative terms proportion of redevelopment projects will be more in island
city of Mumbai, and less in Mumbai suburbs, and even lesser in other parts of MMR excluding the administrative
jurisdiction of MCGM (Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai). This assumption is based on the observation that
the island city of Mumbai has more older buildings than other parts of MMR and has fewer vacant land parcels to do
development, b) Between western suburbs and eastern (central railway) suburbs proportion of redevelopment projects
147
will be lower in eastern suburbs owing to availability of industrial lands getting converted into residential
development, c) Rest of MMR has the least proportion owing to the age of buildings being relatively lower and more
availability of vacant land.”
As per Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) data for year 2022-23, there are 387 buildings falling
under C1 category of dangerous and dilapidated buildings, out of which 321 buildings are private buildings and the
rest owned by MCGM. These buildings are potential market for redevelopment.”
“In Mumbai Metropolitan Region, and in jurisdiction of Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) Mumbai
in particular, there are several old buildings which need redevelopment. Many of these old buildings fall under “cessed
buildings” as defined by MHADA. In island city of Mumbai alone (South Central Mumbai) as per MHADA data there
are 19,642 cessed buildings. By definition all of these buildings are constructed up to 30 Sept. 1969, which means as
of June 2023, these buildings are more than 50 years old. Out of these, there are 16,502 buildings that are constructed
up to 1 Sept 1940 meaning that they are more than 80 years old as of year 2023. These buildings need redevelopment
and thus are potential market for real estate developers.
Note 1: A high level estimation of supply of residential units originating from redevelopment projects in MMR over
last few years could be done with certain assumptions. This estimation is not representation or documentation of
actual data but is only an estimation based on certain sample research and extrapolation of sample data with certain

SUPPLY, ABSORPTION, UNSOLD INVENTORY AND PRICING TRENDS IN MMR – 2017 TO 2023 (TILL Q1)
Supply & Absorption Analysis (Units: 2017 - 2022 Annual and Q1 2023)
Between 2017 and 2019, the housing market in MMR witnessed a gradual growth in both supply and absorption of
housing units, with absorption numbers surpassing the new residential supply. During this period, MMR’s housing
supply and absorption recorded respective increases of 45% and 42%.
However, the COVID-19 pandemic brought about an unprecedented decline in new residential supply and absorption.
The MMR residential market faced significant challenges due to the pandemic, as well as subsequent disruptions due
to the global economic headwinds, and rising interest rates.
Nevertheless, the MMR residential market showcased a remarkable recovery post COVID, bouncing back from the
impacts of the pandemic and other disruptions. Announcement of reduction in the stamp duty by the Maharashtra
Government with effect from September-2020, boosted housing sales in the region during pandemic. The year 2022
turned out to be exceptional for MMR residential market since 2017, with the highest-ever recorded housing supply
of 1.24 lakh units and absorption of 1.09 lakh units. This resurgence in supply and absorption indicates a positive
trend in the MMR housing market, reflecting its ability to overcome adversity and regain momentum after a
challenging period.
The housing supply and absorption in MMR experienced significant growth compared to 2017, with a remarkable
increase of 132% in housing supply and an impressive 93% growth in absorption.

MMR stands out as one of the most expensive housing markets among the top 7 cities in India, primarily due to the
continued strong sentiment among home buyers and investors. Between 2017 and Q1 2023, the capital values in the
MMR housing market experienced an increase of 17%. Between 2017 and 2020, property prices remained relatively
stable, experiencing an average annual price appreciation of 1%. However, after the pandemic, they have begun to
witness an upward trajectory from 2021 due to factors such as inflation, the escalation in construction raw material
prices, and the overall surge in housing demand. During the time frame from 2021 to Q1 2023, the capital values of
MMR grew by 12% approximately.
As of Q1 2023, the average basic selling price of residential properties in the MMR market stands at INR 12,200 /Sqft

Supply, Absorption and Pricing Outlook for MMR from 2023 to 2026
In the current year 2023, the annual supply and absorption of residential units in MMR are likely to maintain a level
similar to that of 2022. However, looking ahead, a gradual year-on-year increase in both new residential supply and
absorption is anticipated until 2026. It is projected that new launches will surpass absorption until 2025, reflecting a
higher supply of housing units entering the market. However, an interesting shift is expected in 2026, where the
absorption of housing units is likely to outpace the new residential supply.

Trends in Western Suburbs – Mumbai residential real estate (Zone level & micro-market level)
Mumbai's Western Suburbs, also known as the Western Suburban District, is a significant part of the metropolitan
city of Mumbai, India. The Western Suburbs stretch from Bandra to Dahisar and comprise several neighborhoods,
each with its own unique characteristics and offerings.
Majority of them are vibrant and trendy neighbourhood known for its mix of upscale residential areas, commercial
districts, and a lively nightlife. It is home to a large expatriate population and has numerous shopping destinations,
restaurants, cafes, and pubs.
The Western Suburbs of Mumbai are well-connected to other parts of the city through an extensive network of local
trains, buses, and major roadways. The area offers a blend of residential, commercial, and recreational options, making
it a popular choice for residents and visitors alike.
153
Present Connectivity and Infrastructure
The Western Suburbs are well connected through roads and railways to most of the prime office submarkets and
residential catchment areas. The three arterial roads – S.V. Road, Link Road and Western Express Highway have a
parallel alignment and connect the western suburbs to the island city. Western Express highway is the most important
feature of western suburbs as it connects both the domestic and international airport terminals to other micro markets
of the city. The commercial areas of Lower Parel and Bandra Kurla Complex are also well connected, while
Jogeshwari Vikhroli Link Road and Metro Line 1 have increased connectivity. It is now considerably easier to travel
to and from the western suburbs with the addition of lines 2A and 7. There will be 11 additional lines in the city,
totaling more than 300 km, that will connect the Western Suburbs to the rest of the city even more effectively.
Upcoming Infrastructure
The proposed large-scale infrastructure projects are likely to significantly alter the Western Suburbs' potential and
connectivity to the rest of the city. The ambitious 22-kilometer coastal route will link Marine Lines to Kandivali and
reduce the travel time from two to three hours to under an hour. This is expected to help decongest the already
overburdened Link Road, SV road and Western Express Highway. Further, it is likely to create easy access to the
commercial hubs of South Mumbai. Most importantly, it will decongest the suburban railways. This may lead to an
uptick in the housing demand in the nearby suburbs resulting in appreciation of property prices.
The Goregaon Mulund Link Road (GMLR), the 12-km road is expected to significantly reduce travel time between
the Western and Eastern areas and relieve congestion on the JVLR and Western Express Highway.
Social Infrastructure
154
The Western Suburbs' real estate boom and the quick expansion of the social infrastructure have occurred
simultaneously. The Western Suburbs have some of the best alternatives in the city for multispecialty hospitals,
educational institutions, shopping and entertainment hubs, sports and recreation clubs, five-star hotels, and fine dining
restaurants. Micro markets like Lokhandwala and Malad west have become city’s prime shopping and retail
destinations in terms of Malls and High streets.
The Sanjay Gandhi National Park at one end and the Aarey Milk Colony in the center give Mumbai's Western Suburbs
some of the greenest areas, giving the busy city some much-needed breathing room.
Residential Catchments
Western suburbs are home to some of the biggest residential catchments in the city. The western suburbs account for
almost 60% of the market size of the total western coast of Mumbai and is one of the densely populated areas of the
city. The submarket includes some of the most luxury and upmarket residential areas like Bandra, Khar, Santacruz,
Juhu Tara Road, JVPD and Versova, Previously these areas were dominated by homes of Bollywood stars, however
now these micro markets have become the preference of corporates and HNIs also as BKC has become the pseudo-
CBD of Mumbai.
Micro markets like Andheri, Jogeshwari, Goregaon, Malad, Kandivali and Borivali are some of the prominent
residential areas in Mumbai. A large chunk of Mumbai’s talent pool resides here and consequently these areas have
received the maximum supply of residential units and almost all major real estate developers have their presence in
these areas. These factors have led to western suburbs becoming the most active real estate markets in the city.
The suburbs are by themselves established commercial areas despite being well connected to the corporate offices /
headquarters dominant business districts of BKC and Lower Parel. IT occupiers require good quality buildings, large
floor plates, world class amenities like HVAC, high speed elevators and ample car parking, lower per capita space
with lower rents and proximity to talent pool. All these prerequisites are offered by the buildings in both western as
well as eastern suburbs. Hence, these submarkets are dominated by IT-ITeS occupiers. Recently, suburbs have
emerged as major Global Capability Centre (GCC) and offshoring back-office destination for the city. Moreover,
extremely low vacancies in submarkets like BKC, numerous top Indian corporates and MNCs have bases in these
suburbs, whether it is the entire stretch of Andheri-Kurla Road, SEEPZ, the expansive back-office hubs in Malad
West, or the string of office complexes lining the Western Express Highway from Jogeshwari to Malad. Other
commercial centers in Western Suburbs include the Andheri west and film city for Bollywood and entertainment
industry.
▪ Growth of the Information Technology Enabled Services (ITeS) and Business Process Outsourcing (BPO)
Industries: The Malad-Goregaon stretch has been synonymous with the IT-ITeS and BPO growth in Mumbai
which led to the development of dense residential catchments. Increased employment opportunities in the area
have successfully enabled the housing demand and the establishment of required social infrastructure.
▪ Social Infrastructure: The Malad-Goregaon stretch, due to presence of city’s few of the biggest mall have led
to growth of Food & Beverage, Textile, Imitation Jewelry and real estate and allied industries.
▪ Proximity to business districts: The Andheri Kurla stretch has been a hub for manufacturing, professional
services and logistics firms due to the corridor’s central location and proximity to the airport. High demand from
companies from industries like Logistics and Airlines, Non-BFSI professional services have created employment
opportunities and led to the development of the submarket.
▪ The Santacruz Electronic Export Processing Zone (SEEPZ) offers excellent facilities for IT-ITeS firms. The
major driver at SEEPZ is the accessibility to both the eastern and western line. In fact, the stretch is a mix of
clients from various profiles leading to a broad-based growth in the city economy.
155
▪ Proximity to the airport: The airport has been one of the major drivers for the growth of Hotels, Retail, office,
residential development, and employment generation in west suburbs.
▪ Warehousing hub & Industrial zones: Andheri-Kurla Road and MIDC areas have emerged as centers of in-city
warehousing and industrial zones for medium and small-scale industries. These activities have contributed
immensely to the city economy and led to increased real estate activity and growth.
▪ The film and entertainment sectors have been one of the leaders in generating healthy revenue and contributing
noticeably to the city’s economy.
▪ Infrastructure Development: Completion of the coastal road and the proposed metros will give a big boost to
residential developments in micro markets of Western and Eastern Suburbs, due to improved connectivity with
the prime commercial hubs in the adjacent submarkets.
Western Suburbs, being a residential catchment area as well as an established commercial hub, will be the preferred
choice of both the companies to set-up offices and their employees to buy homes leading to the economic development
of the submarket.

3.6 Cr.” with 7% and 4% supply share respectively. Due to the scarcity of affordable land and high cost of construction
the supply is majorly concentrated in the high-end and premium budget segments in western suburbs, which is leading
to the high sales in these budget-segments only. Most likely the share of sales in the premium budget-segment will
increase in western suburbs due to high launch activities in the concerned budget segment.

TRENDS IN EASTERN SUBURBS – MUMBAI RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE (ZONE LEVEL & MICRO-
MARKET LEVEL)
Mumbai's eastern suburbs have experienced substantial expansion and development over a long period of time. The
busy business and residential complexes of the region which include prominent localities such as Ghatkopar, Mulund,
Chembur, Powai and Vikhroli have replaced the once-old residential and industrial regions. These neighborhoods
were predominately known for their green spaces & open lands. However, Mumbai's increasing urbanisation and
population growth increased housing demand, which prompted the development of new residential complexes in the
eastern suburbs. The development of the Eastern Express Highway in the recent years and the existing Mumbai
Suburban Railway, as well as other forms of public transit, played a significant role in connecting the eastern suburbs
to the rest of the city and improving their accessibility.
The eastern suburbs have excellent transport connections to the rest of Mumbai. The Central Line of the Mumbai
Suburban Railway offers access to numerous locations within the city. A strong presence of local transport options
also makes it easy to commute both within and beyond the suburbs.
Most of the key office submarkets and residential catchments are easily accessible by road and rail (Central Railways
and Harbour Line). The Eastern Express Highway (EEH) and Lal Bahadur Shastri Marg (LBS Marg) are the two
parallelly aligned arterial roads that connect the eastern suburbs to the island city. The recently operational Eastern
Freeway (P D’Mello Road to Chembur) and the Eastern Express Highway have emerged as the most crucial elements
of the eastern suburbs as they link the crucial commercial micromarkets of BKC, Lower Parel, Nariman Point,
Churchgate, Kurla, and Wadala to the eastern suburbs. Thane and Navi Mumbai's two significant peripheral residential
and commercial micromarkets are well connected by the Eastern Express Highway and Airoli-Mulund Road
respectively, while Jogeshwari Vikhroli Link Road and Metro Line 1 have improved connectivity with the Western
Suburbs.
Social Infrastructure
186
The eastern suburbs of Mumbai have gained popularity in recent years for their well-established shopping centres and
malls, residential complexes, and a sizeable chunk of the city's social infrastructure. The following are some significant
facets of the social infrastructure of Mumbai's eastern suburbs:
Education: From basic schools to colleges and universities, the eastern suburbs of Mumbai are home to several
reputed educational institutions across multiple disciplines of undergraduate and post graduate curriculum.
Healthcare: There are many hospitals, clinics, and medical facilities in the eastern suburbs, which offer a respectable
healthcare infrastructure. The presence of several multi-specialty hospitals along with allied healthcare systems and
specialist clinics are present which makes the region self-sufficient.
Recreation and Entertainment: The eastern suburbs provide a wide range of leisure and entertainment options.
Shopping centers in Ghatkopar, Kurla and Mulund are some of major destinations that have successfully altered the
retail landscape of the neighborhood. They offer a one-stop location for leisure activities with multiplex theatres, food
courts, shops, and entertainment areas.
Parks and Open Spaces: Despite the densely populated nature of Mumbai, the eastern suburbs have a few parks and
open spaces that offer residents a place to relax and enjoy greenery. Red Carpet Wax Museum, Kidzania, Chembur
Gymkhana, Diamond Garden, the Powai Lake and the high street at Powai are popular choices for outdoor activities
and recreational purposes.
These are a few of the most important components of the social infrastructure of Mumbai's eastern suburbs. As new
facilities and amenities are added to the region to meet the requirements of its citizens, it is expected to grow further
and evolve.
Residential Catchments
Like the western suburbs, the east suburbs also harbors some of the biggest residential catchments in the city. Hence,
the submarket has emerged as one of the biggest real estate markets in the city across the asset classes. Some of the
prominent residential areas are Powai, Ghatkopar, Mulund, Chembur and Kurla.
Powai is known for its scenic beauty and modern infrastructure. Powai is home to a mix of residential complexes, IT
parks, and educational institutions. It is a lively neighbourhood and offers a range of housing options, from high-end
luxurious apartments to gated communities. Ghatkopar and Mulund are well-established residential areas with a mix
of old and new developments. They have good connectivity to both Eastern and Western suburbs, making it convenient
for the residents. These micromarkets have witnessed rapid development in recent years, with the development of
social infrastructure. They offer a mix of affordable and upscale housing options. Chembur is a well-connected
residential area known for its cosmopolitan nature and accessibility. Chembur is favored by many due to its proximity
to business districts and good connectivity to other parts of Mumbai. Kurla is centrally located and offers a blend of
residential and commercial spaces. It has good connectivity through rail and road networks, making it a convenient
place to live. Kurla offers a mix of affordable and mid-range housing options.
Eastern suburbs of Mumbai are well connected to most of the important business districts as it is centrally located in
terms of the entire Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR).
Despite having excellent connectivity to the commercial offices of BKC and Lower Parel, the suburbs are thriving
commercial centers in and of themselves. This is mostly a result of the concentration of IT-ITeS companies in the
suburbs. IT-ITeS occupiers need access to a talent pool, supply of Grade A office spaces, large floor plates, high end
amenities, and rents that are competitive. Eastern suburbs provide a healthy combination of all the prerequisites.
Additionally, since the office space vacancy is extremely low in submarkets like BKC, many large Indian and
multinational corporations have chosen to set up offices in East Suburbs
Key commercial areas in the East Suburbs include Powai, Ghatkopar, Vikhroli, Kanjurmarg and Mulund. These areas
are home to quality office projects both along the LBS Marg and Eastern Express Highway. The sub-market also
187
houses built-to-suit developments, business parks and an IT SEZ. Occupiers from the tech, telecom and BFSI sectors
such as Nokia Siemens, JP Morgan, Accenture, Wipro, Capgemini and Link Intime have taken up space in East
Suburbs.
Several important reasons have contributed significantly to the rise of Mumbai's Eastern suburbs. The following are
some of the main causes of the expansion of the Eastern suburbs:
o Infrastructure Development: There has been significant infrastructure development in the eastern
suburbs, including the growth of roads, Eastern freeway and transportation networks. By improving
access both inside and beyond the eastern suburbs, projects like the Eastern Express Highway, Eastern
freeway, and Metro links have attracted residents and businesses.
o Proximity to established business locations: The Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC), Andheri, Powai, Thane
and Goregaon are important business districts are strategically close to the eastern suburbs. Corporate
offices, IT parks, and commercial organisations have been drawn to this handy location, creating
employment possibilities and boosting housing demand.
o Affordable Housing alternatives: A variety of housing alternatives, including affordable and mid-range
segments, are available in the eastern suburbs to accommodate different income levels. Investors and
homebuyers, particularly those looking for affordable homes in a city with high property costs, have
been drawn to accessible affordable flats and housing complexes.
o Social Infrastructure: The eastern suburbs have seen the growth of a strong social infrastructure, which
includes educational institutions, healthcare facilities, retail outlets, and recreation centers. The Eastern
suburbs have become more livable and appealing because of the inclusion of these amenities, making
them ideal places to live.
o Urban Renewal and Redevelopment Projects: Urban renewal and redevelopment of projects have been
actively changing older industrial regions in the eastern suburbs into contemporary living and working
environments. These initiatives have transformed the areas by enhancing the living standards leading to
attracting new residents.
o Growth of the Information Technology Enabled Services (IT) and Business Process Outsourcing (BPO)
Industries: The eastern suburbs, especially Powai and Vikhroli, have seen a rise in the number of IT and
BPO businesses opening up offices. The expansion of these industries has increased the employment
possibilities and the demand for housing in these suburbs.
o Emerging Entertainment and Lifestyle Hubs: In the eastern suburbs, new shopping malls, multiplexes,
dining options and recreation facilities have been established. These changes have enhanced the eastern
suburbs' general appeal and vibrancy, drawing both residents and tourists.
These growth-promoting factors have worked together to reshape and develop Mumbai's eastern suburbs, making
them more in-demand places for residential and commercial development.

measure taken by the Government of Maharashtra, which implemented a reduction in stamp duty.

Mumbai and 1 project in south-central Mumbai (through a partnership firm in which we hold the majority stake) with
a combined constructed area of 6,48,000 square feet. This track record has established us as one of the major player
of redevelopment in the Mumbai western suburbs. (Source: Anarock Report)
Our operations are strategically located in Mumbai, one of the biggest and most expensive real estate markets in India.
Since CY 2017 to Q1 2023, the MMR, Maharashtra has contributed the highest annual sales share of residential units
across the top 7 cities in India, ranging from 27% to 32%. On average, the sales in MMR, Maharashtra accounted for

We have developed a strong brand proposition and successful track record including by leveraging our lineage –Amit
Mangilal Jain, our Promoter, a second generation real-estate entrepreneur whose family was involved in real-estate
development since 1986. We owe our strong brand recognition in the MMR, Maharashtra and our track-record to our
customer-centric approach, and our business model lays emphasis on developing high-end and premium budget
aesthetically designed, sustainable residential premises with life-style amenities and facilities in the high-density areas
in the MMR, Maharashtra. We also have a consistent track-record of meeting our project delivery timelines which is
a critical aspect of our brand.
While we have over the years developed projects at different price points, we are currently developing projects have
a very broad per unit price point ranging from ₹ 9.44 million to ₹ 62.53 million. Our average per unit price point has
increased over the years and in Fiscal 2023, Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021, our minimum price point per unit was ₹ 6.95
million. While our initial projects were stand-alone residential buildings, our current portfolio of ongoing projects
includes gated communities such as Arkade Nest, Arkade Crown and Arkade Aspire, Arkade Prime and Arkade Aura.
In the last 2 decades we have completed 27 projects (including stand-alone, projects executed by our Promoter through
their proprietorship and, or, through joint development arrangements with other third parties) aggregating more than
4 million square feet of development and have catered to more than approximately 4,000 customers. Our projects
have, generally, been financed primarily through a mix of promoter equity and internal accruals. As on July 31, 2023,
our debt equity ratio was 0.36.
We are, currently, developing approximately 2 million square feet across 5 Ongoing Projects and 2 Upcoming Projects
(for which we have executed development agreements and are in the process of obtaining approvals).
Ongoing Projects
Our Ongoing Projects comprise 5 projects located in prime locations in the western and eastern suburbs of Mumbai,
Maharashtra, which are at various stages of development. Set out below are some of the key aspects of our Ongoing
Projects as on July 31, 2023:

Upcoming projects
Our Upcoming Projects comprise 2 redevelopment projects, in the MMR, Maharashtra, located at Vile Parle East, and
Malad West. In addition to our Upcoming Projects, we have received letters of intent for 4 redevelopment projects

Information provided in respect of our Ongoing Projects and upcoming projects are based on our current management
plans and are subject to change.
Our projects configuration and construction lay-outs are, predominantly, 2 BHK and 3 BHK, (we have also undertaken
projects with a 1, 3.5, 4 BHK configuration) and are designed to cater to discerning customers. Since aspirational life-
style amenities and facilities are a key element of our projects, our average land development area admeasures
approximately 1 acre. We also strive to maintain fast turn-around time and, currently, our average project completion
time frame i.e. the period between receiving possession of the land to delivery of the possession to the first customer
is approximately 3 years (Average PCT).
Our revenue in Fiscal 2023, Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021 are ₹ 2,240.13 million, ₹ 2,371.82 million, and ₹ 1,131.85
million, respectively. Our revenue from operations has grown at a CAGR of 26.69% between Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal
2023. All our projects have been, and are, in the MMR, Maharashtra.
While, historically, our focus has been on the western suburbs of MMR, Maharashtra we have also developed high-
end luxury projects located in south Mumbai, Maharashtra. Further, in the recent years, we have sought to broaden
our area of focus and have undertaken projects in the eastern suburbs of Mumbai, Maharashtra, which have experienced
substantial expansion and development over a long period of time (Source: Anarock Report) where we expect to be
able to acquire larger land parcels. The development of general infrastructure in the eastern suburbs and the availability
of larger parcels of land enables us to undertake larger projects and develop premium with greater aspirational life-
style amenities and facilities.
Set out below details of the residential units sold in our projects in the southern, western suburbs and eastern suburbs
of MMR, Maharashtra in Fiscal 2023, Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021:

Our business can broadly be classified into two categories: (i) development / construction of residential premises on
land acquired by our Company (New Projects) and (ii) redevelopment of existing premises (Redevelopment
Projects). Out of our completed 27 projects (including our past projects that were jointly developed) 17 were New
Projects and 10 are Redevelopment Projects constituting 63% and 37% of our total projects, respectively. Further, out
of our 5 projects that are currently under-development 3 are New Projects and 2 are Redevelopment Projects
constituting 60% and 40% of our under-development projects. Set out below is break-up of the revenue from
Redevelopment Projects and New Projects in Fiscal 2023, Fiscal 2022, and Fiscal 2021
We have over the years expanded our in-house capabilities and our in-house team is equipped to supervise all aspects
of project development – conceptualisation to completion – land acquisition, legal, construction, and marketing and
sales. We have also established and maintain empanelled vendors for various aspects of project development such as
design architects, structural engineers, landscape consultants etc, with whom we work closely for ensuring timely
completion of our projects.
201
We have also set up an integrated in-house project management team to focus on procurement efficiencies, vendor
selection and construction activities. Our in-house sales team is supported by a distribution network of multiple non-
exclusive and select channel partners across India which cater to key high networth individuals and non resident
Indians. We also have a full-fledged in-house customer relationship team and after-sales team which supports
customers from the property booking stage till the final delivery of the property.
We have also established a long-standing relationship with professionals in the real estate development sector who
are essential part of a real estate project including interior designers and architects, RCC and structural engineers, and
landscape and gardening consultants. We have a select panel of professionals for each category and these professionals
are identified on the basis of various considerations including their technical abilities, track record of timeliness, and
cost efficacy. We approach our empanelled professionals on a project-by-project basis and execute project specific
contracts taking into account various factors including suitability to the scale of the project, availability and costing.
Land Reserves
We identify and acquire land as the need arises, and after having evaluated and analysed the need for, and the viability
of, a residential housing project in the area. Thereafter, our in-house teams carefully evaluate the proposed site and
consider various factors such as the dimensions of the land, proximity to public infrastructure such as hospitals and
schools, connectivity, legal antecedents including title etc.

OUR STRENGTHS
We believe that our competitive strengths set out below will enable us to exploit the growth opportunities in the real
estate market in MMR, Maharashtra.
Our operations are strategically located in Mumbai, the biggest and most expensive real estate market in India. Since
CY 2017 to Q1 2023, the MMR, Maharashtra has contributed the highest annual sales share of residential units across
the top 7 cities in India, ranging from 27% to 32%. On average, the sales in MMR, Maharashtra accounted for 30%
of the total residential unit absorption during this time frame. Further, the residential market in MMR, Maharashtra
stands out as the most expensive, amongst the top 7 cities in India with a capital value of ₹ 12,200 per Sq. ft as of Q1
2023. Further, locations in Mumbai and surrounding areas provide one of the best healthcare in the country, best
education opportunity, retail, recreational infrastructure. These aspects increase the quality of life & contribute to
Housing demand. (Source: Anarock Report)
Further, within the MMR, Maharashtra our operations are strategically located and we have significant operations in
the western suburbs of the MMR, Maharashtra and, from 2017, are amongst the top 10 developers in terms of supply
in the Andheri East, Borivali West, Goregaon East and Santacruz West micro-markets. Further, since 2017, in the
aforementioned micro-markets cumulatively, we have been one of the market major player in terms of 2BHK, 3BHK
& 4BHK units supply in combined markets. Further, out of the total supply of 14,163 units in the aforementioned
micro-markets (consolidated) from 2017 to till Q1 2023, the top-10 developers contributed 33% in the total supply
out of which we contributed 13% share in top-10 developers’ supply. (Source: Anarock Report) High-end and
premium budget segments constructions see a concentration in western suburbs due to the scarcity of affordable land
and high cost of construction (Source: Anarock Report) which we expect will create an entry barrier. A majority of
the residential units supplied by us in the aforementioned micro-markets are in the high-end and premium budget
segments. Set out below is our revenue from the eastern, southern and western regions of the MMR, Maharashtra in
Fiscal 2023, Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021.

The limited availability of land and fierce competition for available plots in the MMR, Maharashtra (Source: Anarock
Report) is in our view an entry barriers for real estate developers. Further, the aforementioned limited availability of
land and the high cost of construction in the western suburbs alongside extensive regulatory framework for real estate
in India is also expected to create entry barriers, Further, undertaking redevelopment projects is inherently different
from developing new projects because, generally, these projects require engaging with multiple parties whose interests
are not always similarly aligned and the additional expertise required in managing these interests and the logistics of
addressing the requirement of such persons.
We are a leading player in select micro-markets of, and an established developer in, the MMR, Maharashtra
We are an established developer of new and redevelopments projects in the MMR, Maharashtra which is India’s
commercial capital and also one of the highest density cities in the country. Additionally, Mumbai is the biggest and
most expensive real estate market in India. During the time frame from 2021 to Q1 2023, the capital values of MMR,
Maharashtra grew by 12% approximately. (Source: Anarock Report) We have grown over the years through a
diversified approach to development of residential property and our core strengths comprise (i) development /
construction of residential premises on land acquired by our Company and (ii) redevelopment of existing premises.
The Western Suburbs of Mumbai are well-connected to other parts of the city through an extensive network of local
trains, buses, and major roadways. The area offers a blend of residential, commercial, and recreational options, making
204
it a popular choice for residents and visitors alike. (Source: Anarock Report) While, historically, a significant
proportion of our projects have been in the western suburbs of MMR, we have also developed projects in the eastern
suburbs of Mumbai, Maharashtra and in south Mumbai.
We are amongst the top-10 developers in the Borivali West micro-market and have a 4% share in the total supply and
6% share in the total absorption of cumulatively from 2022 to Q1 2023. Further, in Borivali West micro-market we
account of 13% of the top 10 developers supply since 2017 and 15% of the share of the top-10 developers from 2022
onwards. Moreover, in the Goregaon-East micro-market we had 26% share in the total supply and 22% share in the
total absorption cumulatively from 2022 to Q1 2023 and an 8% share each in the total supply & absorption of Goregaon
East cumulatively from 2017 to 2023. Additionally at 28% we have the highest share of supply amongst the top-10
developers in Goregaon East micro-market, cumulatively from 2017 to Q1 2023. Further, since 2017, we have been
one of the major market players in terms of 4 BHK, 3 BHK & 2 BHK units supply in the cumulative micro-markets
of Andheri East, Goregaon East, Santacruz West and Borivali East accounting for 5%, 6% and 3%. (Source: Anarock
Report)
The pillars on which our brand recognition is based are (i) integrity and value proposition, (ii) location of our projects,
(iii) adherence of delivery schedule, and (iv) quality, aesthetically designed, sustainable construction model. Our
blended focus on re-development or development of residential properties also helps us continue operating in the
western suburbs of Mumbai, Maharashtra where there is paucity of land but opportunity for re-development is higher
and also in the eastern region where the land parcel is more economical and more abundant for development of new
projects. Our consistent growth demonstrates the viability of our blended approach.
Further, in addition to being well-conceived and designed our projects also seek to provide our customers with
aspirational life-style amenities and facilities. Our projects are designed to be capacious with a view to enhance and
maximise the available living space in each of our residential units. (Source: Anarock Report).
Amit Mangilal Jain, our Promoter and Chairman and Managing Director, has been instrumental in developing the
vision for our Company. He started working under the guidance of his father and gained valuable experience in the
real estate business and has carried on the tradition and legacy of engaging customers with trust and integrity. Our

Liaisoning and Legal, and Arpit Vikram Jain, who heads the Accounts, Finance, Taxation, Sales, Marketing, CRM,
HR, administration departments have been on our board of directors since 2016, also strengthen our management and

team of executives who supervise various department such as legal, sales, marketing, and business development that

team to deliver our projects without any delays and strategically acquire new lands and business opportunities. We
believe that our collective experience and expertise in the real estate industry enables us to gauge changes in customer
demands and market trends and adapt to such changes.
We have adopted an integrated business model with in-house resources to carry on a project from its initiation to
completion. Our in-house resources include our legal team, business development, purchase and contracts, and sales
and marketing team. Our legal team undertakes the due diligence of the proposed properties to be acquired for
development projects and negotiates agreements which our Company enters for re-development projects. Due
diligence of properties helps us in avoiding unnecessary disputes which may be associated with any parcel of land and
consequently helps us in delivering dispute free premises to our buyers. Our business development team scouts for
land in premium geographies within micro-markets with good development potential and focus on acquiring such
lands at competitive prices.
Our sales team facilitates property transactions by advertising, networking with channel partners and formulating
various strategies to grow our business. We believe that customer relationships are crucial to the real estate business
and our sales team along with our customer relationship team builds our customer network by providing personalized
service throughout the sales process. We believe that our customers act as brand ambassadors for our Company and
share referrals which has helped our brand grow. We believe our customer centric business model enables us to thrive
in competitive markets. Our marketing team plays a crucial role in driving success by implementing strategic
initiatives to promote and sell our projects. Our marketing team undertakes intensive market research and formulates
comprehensive marketing strategies defining marketing objectives, identifying target markets, selecting appropriate
marketing channels such as digital advertising, social media, print media and events. Our marketing team serves as a
driving force in boosting sales, establishing brand awareness through various strategies and cultivating a positive
brand image. We believe that, our marketing team’s adept use of various traditional techniques and efficient leveraging
206
of third party managed resources such as real estate focused digital search platforms, enables us to effectively reach
and engage target audience, resulting in increased property sales and sustained business growth.
The housing demand in India has always been high as homeownership is an emotional decision and this asset assures
safety and financial stability along with a social standing. (Source: Anarock Report) Given the emotional aspect of
home ownership in India, the ability to complete construction of projects within the timelines that have been declared
prior to the initiation of the project becomes one of the essential elements of a real estate development project in India.
A key aspect of our success and our growth over the years has been our ability to consistently deliver projects within,
and often before, the scheduled project completion timelines. While earlier there were no regulatory ramifications for
non-completion of projects within specified timelines, the introduction of RERA has made adherence to agreed
timelines essential. We have over the years demonstrated an ability to consistently deliver projects within the agreed
timelines. The table sets out some of our recent projects which demonstrate our ability to deliver projects well before
the scheduled dates of completion.
H Wing - H Wing - 8
April 2022 December
2022
Some of the key factors that has enabled us to complete projects on or before the scheduled completion dates are our
well-defined processes which ensure that we commence a project only after we have received the necessary approvals,
and the close coordination amongst our various teams involved in the execution of a project.

Set out below are the key aspects of our business strategy.
Continue to expand in the eastern region of MMR, Maharashtra and foray into the Thane suburbs
207
The housing demand in India has always been high as homeownership is an emotional decision and this asset assures safety and
financial stability along with a social standing (Source: Anarock Report). We expect to be able to leverage this aspect within
Mumbai, and in particular, in the eastern region of the MMR, Maharashtra. Growth in the eastern suburbs of Mumbai is
expected to be driven by various factors including significant infrastructure development, proximity of business
locations, such as BKC, Andheri, Powai and Goregaon, strong social infrastructure, urban renewal and redevelopment
projects, emerging entertainment and lifestyle hubs. Additionally, the eastern suburbs, especially Powai and Vikhroli,
have seen a rise in the number of IT and BPO businesses opening up offices. The expansion of these industries has
increased the employment possibilities and the demand for housing in these suburbs. (Source: Anarock Report)
Since 2017, we have expanded our business in the eastern region of MMR, Maharashtra and aim to continue to expand
our business operations in this region. We have a have 14% share in the total supply and 15% share in the total
absorption of Kanjurmarg East micro-market consolidated from 2017 to Q1 2023. Further, we anticipate that the
eastern region will enable us to acquire larger parcels of lands at competitive prices and build larger premium projects.
We have already completed 1 project in the eastern region Further, we launched a new project in Mulund where,
currently, the average capital value in Mulund West is INR 23,883 per Sq. ft on carpet, which is significantly higher
than the average for Mumbai. (Source: Anarock Report) We intend to capitalise on our experience, quality of projects
and quick turnaround time to identify prime locations and deliver premium residential premises in this region.
We also propose to expand our operations in the Thane suburbs of Maharashtra. Thane abuts MMR, Maharashtra and
has abundant large land parcels which opens another opportunity for us to expand our premium range of residential
properties including developing self-sustaining townships. Thane is a major residential region abutting MMR,
Maharashtra and we anticipate that our focus on delivering premium residence with competitive price will enable us
to establish our Company as a leading real estate developer in the region.
Our primary focus has always been to deliver value luxury affordable residential premises to our buyers in high-
density regions of MMR, Maharashtra while placing a premium on construction quality and catering to aspirational
life-style choices. We have, generally, undertaken projects with 1 acre and upward of land, which allows us to offer
the life-style amenities and choices to our customers. We are further proposing to augment our value proposition and
move up the value chain by undertaking projects that are developed over a larger land area which will enable to us to
inter alia construct more premium properties with greater amenities and facilities and opportunities for recreational
activities. We also propose to develop these properties with higher per-unit carpet area, more appealing aesthetics,
and more luxurious furnishings and accessories. For instance, some of the key lifestyle facilities that our projects have
include vehicle free eco–decks, which houses amenities like air-conditioned gymnasium and open gymnasium,
banquet/ party hall, designated play area for children, gazebo and designated walking track.
While the housing demand in India has always been high as homeownership is an emotional decision and this asset
assures safety and financial stability along with a social standing, according to consumer surveys conducted by
Anarock from 2018 to 2022, real estate emerged as the most preferred asset class compared to other investment
options. Over the period there has been a gradual rise in buyers’ inclination towards choosing real estate as an
investment avenue. (Source: Anarock Report) Further, developers who demonstrate the capability to complete projects
as per the schedule and with minimal execution risk are now preferred, even if their properties are relatively higher
priced. This change in buyer behaviour, coupled with the liquidity challenges faced by smaller developers, is likely to
drive further consolidation within the real estate sector. In the coming years, financially robust and well-organized
players are expected to dominate the market, securing most of the market share. (Source: Anarock Report) We expect
that our integrity and value proposition, the timeliness of our project delivery, and our brand recognition will enable
us to move up the real estate value chain and benefit from the opportunities that are available.
MMR, Maharashtra serves as a significant employment hub for both organized and unorganized industries in the
country. The presence of grade-A office spaces in Mumbai directly influences the demand for housing in MMR,
Maharashtra, particularly in the organized sector. The employment opportunities generated by these organized
industries significantly contribute to the housing demand in the region. Additionally, the employment generated from
208
the unorganized sectors also impacts the housing demand, particularly in the suburban areas of MMR, Maharashtra.
In MMR, Maharashtra, a section of the supply of residential units originates from re-development projects. These
projects may originate from slum rehabilitation, MHADA layouts redevelopment, cessed buildings redevelopment or
housing societies redevelopment. Anarock estimates that the supply for the period of 2017 to Q1 2023 is approximately
52,000 units. Some demand from the investor community to invest into residential real estate has helped in improving
the overall housing demand in MMR, Maharashtra and higher disposable income of the working professionals in
MMR, Maharashtra with steady residential prices has contributed to the residential demand in MMR, Maharashtra.
(Source: Anarock Report)
All the aforementioned factors demonstrates that the MMR, Maharashtra region generates demand for new project
development and for redevelopment of existing premises. Therefore, we aim to continue our blended business model
consisting of (i) development / construction of residential premises on land acquired by our Company and (ii)
redevelopment of residential premises. Our experience reflects that entering into redevelopment arrangements with
housing societies enables us to remain capital efficient as the capital required for such projects is less than new
development projects and the abundance in the availability of projects in upcoming regions such as western and eastern
region of MMR, Maharashtra. Our efficient use of capital and the financial strength derived from our redevelopment
projects provides us financial flexibility to undertake new projects in developing areas of MMR, Maharashtra and also
enables us to develop more premium properties.
BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Our residential projects with certain percentage of commercial space and our mixed business model caters to a wide
range of customers with varied income brackets.
OUR PROJECTS

Upcoming projects
Further, we have recently entered into a development agreement for the redevelopment of 2 projects located in the
western region of the MMR, Maharashtra specifically, in Malad, West and Vile Parle, East. These projects when
completed are expected to aggregate 395,478 square feet of developable area. Set out below are brief details of these
projects. We are yet to commence any construction activities on these projects.
The process of project development that we follow in the MMR, Maharashtra involves different aspects and can be
segregated into the following categories.
• Land acquisition;
Land Acquisition
The most important aspect of real estate development industry is identifying the ideal land parcel for development.
The location and the area surrounding the land parcel play a pivotal role in valuation and saleability of projects. Our
process of land acquisition starts with site visit (including the areas surrounding the site) by our business development
211
team. This is followed by a feasibility study by our business development team. Once the business development team
ascertains that the site is feasible, a senior management team, including our managing director and other executive
directors, visit the site and thereafter, we undertake a detailed analysis of the viability of the project including
development potential, MCGM charges and the potential revenue.
Some of the salient aspects that we generally consider while evaluating a land parcel for acquisition (open plot or
society redevelopment) are:
D) land use analysis for residential / Commercial / office spaces or mixed use.
E) financial viability.
F) regulatory framework including local body approvals, environmental approvals and, or, other relevant
approvals depending on the nature of development.
In addition to the factors above, redevelopment of a co-operative society also entails participating in the tender process
initiated by society for redevelopment, making presentations to the committee and the members. We also arrange for
site visits for the members of the concerned society to our ongoing and completed projects. If selected, we work
closely with the concerned society in planning and finalising the development agreement and the conveyance deed.
Concept design
Once a land parcel is identified and acquired we share the design brief with the design architect who has been selected
for executing the project based on factors including the location and size of the project. Thereafter, a detailed analysis
is made after undertaking a detailed market study for type of product offering, carpet area, and amenities for the
project.
Once we receive the first drawn plans from the design architect (i) in case of an open plot development our senior
management evaluates the plans and (ii) in case of society redevelopment, our senior management evaluates the plans
in conjunction with the inputs received from the society members. The process of planning and layout improvement
continues until optimization of plans. One of the features of our evaluation process is that our senior management
evaluates the plan at the design stages from multiple perspectives including from the perspective of the local body
norms, the various approvals required including environmental aspects, height clearance etc. which our experience
has demonstrates expedites the overall process.
We also engage experts in structural aspects such as mechanical, electrical and plumbing aspects (MEP), parking and
landscaping architects at the design stage itself so that all aspects are taken into consideration at the initial planning
level which facilitates more efficient and quicker execution of the project.
Approval Process
212
Subsequent to planning we plan for approvals, and we engage specialised architects who liaise with various relevant
governmental authorities which vary depending on the location of the project.
We submit the plans to the MCGM (in the case of projects in the MMR, Maharashtra) along with certain critical
clearances including ‘no objection certificates’ from various departments such as fire, traffic, storm water drain etc.
The MCGM process of scrutiny of the file and the entire process flow upto approval can be tracked online.
The ‘intimation of disapproval’ (IOD) is the first authorisation obtained in the process, and development work at the
site can commence only on receipt of the IOD. The IOD is typically subject to certain conditions and once we
demonstrate compliance with the conditions a commencement certificate (CC) is issued. Once the CC is received, we
can commence work on the land. The MCGM and, in case of a redevelopment project management consultants,
monitor the progress of the construction.
In the case of a redevelopment project a ‘vacating notice’ is given to the members of society to handover the premises
to us for development. Once we receive the vacant premises we demolish the existing structure after receipt of IOD.
Since implementation of The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 we need to obtain MAHARERA
certificate for any project. The MAHARERA certificate needs to be obtained for any development undertaken on a
plot exceeding 500 square meters or any development project where more than 8 units are to be sold. The process of
obtaining the RERA certificate is also online and the application must be accompanied with all necessary documents
including the title documents, encumbrances and project specifications. The certificate of registration issued by the
MAHARERA is mandatory for the project sales and marketing, and further quarterly updates that must made during
the lifecycle of the project.
The construction commences on site with drawings and specifications issued by the architects with drawings certified
as ‘Good for Construction’ (GFC). We ensure that the construction site is sufficiently manned by qualified engineers
and supervisors to overlook the entire of gamut of construction operations being undertaken. The construction team
at site works closely with other departments based out at central office such as the purchase department for
procurement of materials at site, billing and contracts for appointment of contractors for different aspects of the
construction, the accounts team for vendor payments etc.
We engage experienced contractors for civil constructions (RCC work) who provide the labour for construction of the
project whereas we procure and supply raw materials like steel, cement or ready-to-mix concrete, and other materials
and our engineers and supervisors continuously monitor the construction work at the site. We engage multiple
contractor for different aspect of construction and each contractor is engaged and we execute project specific contracts
including for tiling work, gypsum work, electrical contractors for wiring and switches work, frame and railing works,
plumbing and sanitation and water lines, and water proofing.
We also employ professionals in our quality and safety departments who continuously monitor different aspects
pertaining to quality of construction, the safety of the workers at site, and the impact on the surrounding
neighbourhood. We also impart special on-site safety training to workers. Our quality assurance team also strives
continually to improve our standards to ensure that we follow ‘industry best practices’. All construction at our project
must adhere to the quality benchmarks and various testing parameters that are set out in our quality control policy.
Each contract with contractors stipulates stringent standards that must be followed during construction, adherence to
which is constantly monitored, and failure is penalised.
All our construction works are carried out on a turnkey contract basis with the respective contractor. We manage the
various agencies and coordinate their activities at the construction site. We have staff at each of our ongoing sites with
a project manager leading the team ably supported by engineers, supervisors, safety and quality personnel. The site is
secured by appointing a third-party security agency for continuous vigil, and we also install CCTV cameras and the
site is monitored from the central office.
213
Once the construction reaches an advanced stage we engage other agencies for installation of elevators, landscaping
and soft scaping, execution of lobbies and common areas.
The development work is undertaken in accordance with the approved plan and on completion of the entire
construction activity and other facilities, we apply to the MCGM for occupation certificate and building completion
certificate for the project which are issued after inspection.
Marketing plans for the project commence immediately on finalisation of the project details. We work with various
agencies for designing and implementing marketing initiatives such as concept and designing brochures, site dressage,
3D walk-through, print and digital marketing communication etc. We also engage various media for publicity
including print, radio, outdoor media and digital media. We also, generally, hold on-ground events increase the
visibility of our brand and for lead generation for our projects. Additionally, we run various marketing and advertising
campaigns during the life cycle of the project to generate leads, site visits and awareness about our Company and the
project. We have seasoned real estate and digital marketing professional in our team who leads our branding,
marketing and lead generation initiatives.
We deploy sales personnel at each of our ongoing project sites. Our sale department is divided into smaller teams for
different functionalities such as sales, pre-sales, sourcing and customer relationship management. The pre-sales team
handles all in-bound and out-bound enquiries and leads generated from all the marketing campaigns for the project
and is responsible for organising site visits for potential customers. The pre-sales team also engages customers with
post visit feedback calls.
Our sourcing team meets and continually engages with various intermediaries such as brokers, channel partners,
institutional channel partners and international property consultants. We generate leads and site visits through such
intermediaries and upon successful closure of deal incentives are paid to such channel partners in accordance with our
policy which is commensurate with market standards.
The sales team attends to clients visits, explains the projects with the various tools available at site sales office like
scale model, audio visual demonstrations, drone video shoots, brochures and other printed literature, floor plans etc.
We also have a sample flat and furnished apartments at site/ off site to display to customers. They cater to visits
generated by the pre-sales and sourcing teams and also direct walk-ins who visit the site. The sales team also play a
key role in providing inputs at the product design and typography and planning stage of each project. The sales team
also engages customers who have already purchased residential units for future references. The sales team engages
the customers until completion of the purchase confirmation formalities and documentation and the receipt of the
initial ‘earnest money’ amount. Thereafter, the customer relationship management (CRM) team takes over the process.
Customer relationship
The CRM team takes over the client from the sales team and engages with the customer through the remainder of the
project cycle until delivery of possession and also undertakes post-possession processes. Once the relevant customer
documents are received from the sales team, The CRM team confirms the sale and communicates other aspects of the
sale including the payment schedule. The CRM team manages collections from clients, execution of sale related
agreements, the registration process, the approved project financial number (APF) process with banks, for the home
loan approval process, payments from clients as per work progress through self-payment or bank loans. Upon receipt
of OC for the project, the CRM team hands over possession of the unit to the customers.
Support teams
Our operations and sales teams are ably supported in project completion by our legal, liaison and finance teams which
comprise qualified professionals. The legal and liaison teams assist our operations and sales team from acquisition of
the project till completion. We have developed in-house legal expertise for undertaking due diligence on all aspects
of the project, contract drafting and negotiations. The liaison team gets the project approval and project completion
from the MCGM.
214
In addition to the legal and liaison team, we also have experienced administration and finance team which oversee
finance, cash flow management, vendor payment and other statutory compliances. The administration team along with
the human resources management team manages employee requirements, payroll and salaries, organisational
development. The human resource management team also undertakes frequent training programmes and employee
engagement programmes.
As on July 31, 2023, we had 123 permanent employees. A department wise break-up of our permanent employees is
set out below.
Additionally, as on July 31, 2023, we also engaged 586 workers on contract basis.
The Indian real estate industry and construction activities are regulated at the national, state and municipal level by
different statutory authorities and regulatory bodies. We are committed to adhering to all applicable laws and
regulations in the MMR, Maharashtra region in which we operate and are committed to sustainable development
practices. We comply with the various national, state and municipal environmental laws and regulations in India
including, when applicable, the coastal regulation zone laws. Our operations are also subject to monitoring and
inspections by the government officials with regard to various environmental issues. Our projects are also developed
in compliance with the relevant permissions accorded by various authorities including environmental clearances.
We also have developed health and safety measures that we and each contractor we engage must comply with. We
take the safety and welfare of our employees and the workers who work at our project sites and we display
prominently, including in vernacular, the safety measures to be followed at each our project sites.
Pricing
We undertake an in-house market study of the specific micro-market and assess the historical and prevailing project
sale rates during the feasibility stage prior to (i) acquisition of land (in case of a new development) and (ii) execution
of the development agreement (in case of a redevelopment). The data collected from our market study for projects in
the micro-market and in the vicinity of our proposed project (we assess projects in a 5 km radius of our proposed
project) is supplemented by other information obtained other sources including from channel partners and that which
is generally available on in the public domain such as registration data, digital media portals. Further, we undertake
the aforementioned exercise prior to the launch of the project. Our market study and assessment take in account the
various aspects including the products and amenities on offer in projects within a 5 km radius of our proposed project.
All the data collected and factored in is combined to arrive at the proposed pricing structure which is presented to the
upper echelons of our management who then decide the launch price. Further, we continually review the data during
the life cycle of the project and amend our pricing structure if, and to the extent, required.

The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 and the rules made thereunder
The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (RERA) seeks to regulate and promote real estate sector by
establishing a specialised forum known as the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (Regulatory Authority) and to ensure
sale of plot, apartment or building, as the case may be, or sale of real estate project, in an efficient and transparent
manner and to protect the interest of consumers in the real estate sector and to establish an adjudicating mechanism
for speedy dispute redressal. It mandates the registration of residential and commercial projects before advertising,
booking, selling or offering apartments for sale, or inviting persons to purchase such projects. The application for
registration must disclose brief details of the enterprise of the promoter, brief details of the projects launched by the
promoter in the past 5 years, an authenticated copy of the approval and commencement certificate received from the
competent authority, the sanctioned plan, layout plan, specifications of the project, proforma of the allotment letter,
number, type and carpet area of the apartments, the names and addresses of the promoter’s real estate agent and a
declaration by the promoter stating that he has a legal title to the land and the time period within which he undertakes
to complete the project.
The RERA mandates that the promoter shall not accept more than 10% of the cost of the apartment or plot or building
as advance payment or an application fee from a person without first entering into a written agreement of sale with
such person and registering such agreement. Further, in case of delay in handing over possession, the promoter shall
be liable to return the amount received by him from the allottee with interest and compensation. However, if the
allottee does not intend to withdraw from the project, he shall be paid interest by the promoter till the handing over of
the possession. The RERA also ensures that the promoter does make any addition or alteration in the sanctioned plans,
layout plans and specifications without the previous consent of the allottees. In case of any structural defect or any
other defect in workmanship, quality or provision of services or any other obligations of the promoter, the promoter
shall rectify such defect without further charges within the time stipulated under RERA and if he fails to do so, the
aggrieved allottee shall be entitled to receive appropriate compensation.
We are also required to comply with the rules, regulations and orders issued under RERA by the State Governments
of Maharashtra, inter alia, Real Estate (Regulation and Development) (Registration of Real Estate Projects,
Registration of Real Estate Agents, Rates of Interest and Disclosures on Website) Rules, 2017 and Maharashtra Real
Estate (Regulation and Development) (Recovery of Interest, Penalty, Compensation, Fine payable, Forms of
Complaints and Appeal, etc.) Rules, 2017.
National Building Code of India, 2016 (Code) a comprehensive building code, is a national instrument providing
guidelines for regulating the building construction activities across the country. It serves as a model code for adoption
by all agencies involved in building construction works, including the public works departments, other government
construction departments, local bodies or private construction agencies. The Code mainly contains, inter-alia,
administrative regulations, development control rules and general building requirements; fire safety requirements;
stipulations regarding materials, structural design and construction (including safety) and building and plumbing
services.
The Registration Act, 1908 (Registration Act) has been enacted with an objective, amongst other things, to provide
a method of public registration of documents so as to give information to people regarding legal rights and obligations
arising or affecting a particular property, and to perpetuate documents which may afterwards be of legal importance,
and also to prevent fraud. The Registration Act details the formalities for registering an instrument. Further, the
Registration Act identifies documents for which registration is compulsory such as any non-testamentary instrument
which purports or operates to create, declare, assign, limit or extinguish, whether in present or in future, any right, title
or interest, whether vested or contingent, in any immovable property of the value of one hundred rupees or more, and
lease of immovable property for any term exceeding one year or reserving a yearly rent. A document will not affect
the property comprised in it, nor be treated as evidence of any transaction affecting such property (except as evidence
of a contract in a suit for specific performance or as evidence of any collateral transaction not required to be effected
by registered instrument), unless it has been registered.
Under the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 (Stamp Act), stamp duty is payable on all instruments specified under the Stamp
Act at the rates specified in the schedules to the Stamp Act. Instruments subject to payment of stamp duty under the
Stamp Act include, among other thing, instruments evidencing a transfer or creation or extinguishment of any right,
title or interest in immovable property. The applicable rates for stamp duty on instruments chargeable with duty are
prescribed by state legislations. Instruments chargeable to duty under the Stamp Act, which are not duly stamped, are
incapable of being admitted in a court of law as evidence of the transaction contained therein and it also provides for
impounding of instruments that are not sufficiently stamped or not stamped at all. However, the instruments which
have not been properly stamped can be admitted in evidence by paying the penalty prescribed under the Stamp Act.
An easement is a right which the owner or occupier of land possesses for the beneficial enjoyment of that land and
which permits him to do or to prevent something from being done, in or upon, land not his own. Under the Indian
Easements Act, 1882, a license is defined as a right to use property, which use in the absence of such right would be
unlawful. The period and incident upon which a license may be revoked may be provided in the license agreement
entered into between the licensee and the licensor.
The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act,
2013
The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013
(Land Acquisition Act) has replaced the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 and aims at establishing a humane, participative,
informed and transparent process for land acquisition for industrialisation, development of essential infrastructural
facilities and urbanisation. While aiming to cause least disturbance to landowners and other affected families, it
contains provisions aimed at ensuring just and fair compensation to the affected families whose land has been acquired
or is proposed to be acquired or are affected by such acquisition. It provides for rehabilitation and resettlement of such
affected persons. Under the Land Acquisition Act, various state rules have been notified which frame rules in relation

from the identification and acquisition of land, to planning, execution, construction and marketing of Commercial and residetial projects.
This note provides a list of the significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the restated consolidated financial information.
These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated. These restated consolidated financial
information are for the Company consisting of Arkade Developers Limited and its subsidiaries & associates (collectively referred to as
“Group”). These Restated Consolidated financial information were approved for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on July
21, 2023.
These Restated Consolidated Financial Information have been prepared by the Management of the Group for the purpose of inclusion in the
Draft Red Herring Prospectus (‘DRHP’) to be filed by the Group with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (“SEBI”), National Stock
Exchange of India Limited and BSE Limited in connection with proposed Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) of its equity shares.
The Restated Consolidated Financial Information, which have been approved by the Board of Directors of the Group, have been prepared in
accordance with the requirements of:
(i) Section 26 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") as amended from time to time;
(ii) Paragraph A of Clause 11 (I) of Part A of Schedule VI of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Issue of Capital and Disclosure
Requirements) Regulations, 2018, as amended to date (the “SEBI ICDR Regulations”) issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India
(the “SEBI”); and
(iii) Guidance Note on Reports in Group Prospectuses (Revised 2019) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (“ICAI”) as
amended from time to time (the “Guidance Note”).
The Restated Consolidated Financial Information have been prepared by the Management from the audited consolidated financial statements
as at and for the years ended March 31, 2023, March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 which is prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting
Standards (Ind AS) notified under Section 133 of the Act [Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015] and other relevant
provisions of the Act,
These Restated Consolidated Financial Information do not reflect the effects of events that occurred subsequent to the respective dates of
auditor’s reports on the audited consolidated financial statements mentioned above.
274
These Restated financial Information have been prepared on a going concern basis following the accrual basis of accounting in accordance
with the Generally accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in India (Indian Accounting standards referred to as “IndAS”) as specified under
the section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Rule 3 of Companies (Indian Accounting Standard) Rules, 2015 and relevant
amendments rules issued there after and and presentation requirements of Division II of Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013, (Ind AS
compliant Schedule III). These standalone financial statements are presented in INR and all values are rounded to the nearest Millions
except when otherwise indicated.
The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost convention, except for the following assets and liabilities:
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group.
The Group combines the financial statements of the parent and its subsidiaries line by line adding together like items of assets, liabilities,
equity, income and expenses. InterGroup transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are
eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset.
Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the restated consolidated statement of profit and
loss, restated consolidated statement of changes in equity and restated consolidated statement of assets and liabilities respectively.
Associates
Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control or joint control. This is generally the case where the
Group holds between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting,
after initially being recognised at cost.
Equity Method
Under the equity method of accounting, the investments are initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Company’s
share of the post acquisition profits or losses of the investee in profit and loss, and the Company’s share of other comprehensive income of
the investee in other comprehensive income. Dividends received or receivable from associates and joint ventures are recognised as a
reduction in the carrying amount of the investment.
When the Company’s share of losses in an equity-accounted investment equals or exceeds its interest in the entity, including any other
unsecured long-term receivables, the Company does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on
behalf of the other entity.
Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates and joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Company’s
interest in these entities.
Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies
of equity accounted investees have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Company.
275
A liability is current when:
- It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle
- It is held primarily for the purpose of trading
- It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or
- There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents. The Group has identified
twelve months as its operating cycle.
Property, plant and equipment are stated at their cost of acquisition. The cost comprises purchase price, borrowing cost if capitalization
criteria are met and directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for the intended use. Any trade discount and
rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a
separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group.
All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized in statement of profit or loss as incurred.
Subsequent costs are included in asset’s carrying amount or recognized as separate assets, as appropriate, only when it is probable that
future economic benefit associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of item can be measured reliably.
An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognized is derecognized upon disposal or when no future
economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference
between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the income statement when the asset is derecognized.
Capital work- in- progress includes cost of property, plant and equipment under installation/under development as at the balance sheet
date.
The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and
adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
Internally generated intangibles, excluding capitalized development cost, are not capitalized and the related expenditure is reflected in
statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which the expenditure is incurred. Cost comprises the purchase price and any attributable cost
of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually, either individually or at the cash-
generating unit level. The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be
supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis. The Group has assessed indefinite life for
such brand considering the expected usage, expected investment on brand, business forecast and challenges to establish a premium
electronic segment. These are carried at historical cost and tested for impairment annually.
An intangible asset is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Gains or losses
arising from disposal of the intangible assets are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of
the asset and are recognized in the statement of profit and loss when the assets are disposed off.
Followings are the estimated useful lives of various category of assets used which are aligned with useful lives defined in schedule II of
Companies Act,2013 :
276
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their
useful lives and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortization period
and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life is reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changes
in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset is accounted for by
changing the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortization expense
on intangible assets with finite lives is recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
The useful lives of intangible assets other than having indefinite life :
The Group assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when
annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is
the higher of an asset’s or cash-generating unit’s (CGU) fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The recoverable amount is
determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or
groups of assets. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is
written down to its recoverable amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects
current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal,
recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. These
calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded companies or other available fair value
indicators.
The Group bases its impairment calculation on detailed budgets and forecast calculations, which are prepared separately for each of the
Group’s CGUs to which the individual assets are allocated. These budgets and forecast calculations generally cover a period of five years. For
longer periods, a long-term growth rate is calculated and applied to project future cash flows after the fifth year. To estimate cash flow
projections beyond periods covered by the most recent budgets/forecasts, the Group extrapolates cash flow projections in the budget using a
steady or declining growth rate for subsequent years, unless an increasing rate can be justified. In any case, this growth rate does not
exceed the long-term average growth rate for the products, industries, or country or countries in which the Group operates, or for the market
in which the asset is used.
Impairment losses of continuing operations, including impairment on inventories, are recognized in the statement of profit and loss, except
for properties previously revalued with the revaluation surplus taken to OCI. For such properties, the impairment is recognized in OCI up to
the amount of any previous revaluation surplus.
For assets excluding goodwill and intangible assets having indefinite life, an assessment is made at each reporting date to determine whether
there is an indication that previously recognized impairment losses no longer exist or have decreased. If such indication exists, the Group
estimates the asset’s or CGU’s recoverable amount. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in
the
assumptions used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. The reversal is limited so that
the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined,
net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the statement of profit
and loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case, the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase.
As per the assessment conducted by the Group there were no indications that the non-financial assets have suffered an impairment loss
during the reporting periods.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition
or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are
added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition.
All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value, depending on the
classification of the financial assets
277
Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortised cost (except for debt instruments that are
designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition):
•the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows: and
• the contractual terms of the instrument give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on th
principal amount outstanding.
Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (except
for debt instruments that are designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition):
• the asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets
and
• the contractual terms of the instrument give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on th
principal amount outstanding.
Interest income is recognised in profit or loss for FVTOCI debt instruments. For the purposes of recognising foreign exchange gains and
losses, FVTOCI debt instruments are treated as financial assets measured at amortised cost. Thus, the exchange differences on the
amortised cost are recognised in profit or loss and other changes in the fair value of FVTOCI financial assets are recognised in other
comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of 'Reserve for debt instruments through other comprehensive income'. When
the investment is disposed of, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in this reserve is reclassified to profit or loss.
Income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments other than those financial assets classified as at FVTPL. Interest
income is recognised in profit or loss and is included in the "Other income" line item.
A financial asset that meets the amortised cost criteria or debt instruments that meet the FVTOCI criteria may be designated as at FVTPL
upon initial recognition if such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would arise
from measuring assets or liabilities or recognising the gains and losses on them on different bases, The Group has not designated any debt
instrument as at FVTPL.
Financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurements
recognised in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss incorporates any dividend or interest earned on the financial
asset and is included in the 'Other income' line item. Dividend on financial assets at FVTPL is recognised when the Group's right to receive
the dividends is established, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the entity, the dividend does
not represent a recovery of part of cost of the investment and the amount of dividend can be measured reliably.
Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognised in other comprehensive
income and accumulated in the 'Reserve for equity instruments through other comprehensive income'. The cumulative gain or loss is not
reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of the investments.
Dividends on these investments in equity instruments are recognised in profit or loss when the Group's right to receive the dividends is
established, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend win flow to the entity, the dividend does not represent a
recovery of part of cost of the investment and the amount of dividend can be measured reliably. Dividends recognised in profit or loss is
included in the 'Other income' line item.
The Group has not elected for the FVTOCI irrevocable option for this investment.
278
2.6.6 Impairment of financial assets
The Group assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets. The impairment methodology applied
depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. For trade receivables or any contractual right to receive cash or
another financial asset that result from transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 18, the Group always measures the loss allowance
at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses.
On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the sum of the consideration
received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity
is recognised in profit or loss if such gain or loss would have otherwise been recognised in profit or loss on disposal of that financial asset.
On derecognition of a financial asset other than in its entirety (e.g. when the Group retains an option to repurchase part of a transferred
asset), the Group allocates the previous carrying amount of the financial asset between the part it continues to recognise under continuing
involvement, and the part it no longer recognises on the basis of the relative fair values of those parts on the date of the transfer. The
difference between the carrying amount allocated to the part that is no longer recognised and the sum of the consideration received for the
part no longer recognised and any cumulative gain or loss allocated to it that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is
recognised in profit or loss if such gain or loss would have otherwise been recognised in profit or loss on disposal of that financial asset. A
cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is allocated between the part that continues to be
recognised and the part that is no longer recognised on the basis of the relative fair values of those parts.
Repurchase of the Group's own equity instruments is recognised and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or
loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Group's own equity instruments.
A financial liability other than a financial liability held for trading may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if:
• such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise;
• the financial liability forms part of a Group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance is
evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Group’s documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about
the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or
• it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and Ind AS 109 permits the entire combined contract to be
designated as at FVTPL in accordance with Ind AS 109.
Financial liabilities at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognised in Statement of Profit
and Loss. The net gain or loss recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss incorporates any interest paid on the financial liability and is
included in the ‘other gains and losses' line item in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The Group derecognises financial liabilities when, and
only when, the Group's obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial
liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss.
279
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the
relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points
paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the
expected life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Thus, the Group controls an investee if and only if it has all the following:
• power over the investee;
• exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and
• the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the returns.
Investments are accounted in accordance with Ind AS 105 when they are classified as held for sale. On disposal of investment, the difference
between its carrying amount and net disposal proceeds is charged or credited to the statement of profit and loss.
2.9 Inventories
Inventories comprise of: (i) Construction materials and consumables (ii) Construction Work-In-Progress representing properties under
construction/development (iii) Finished Inventories representing unsold units in completed projects
The construction materials and consumables are valued at lower of cost or net realisable value. The construction materials and consumables
purchased for construction work issued to construction are treated as
The construction work in progress is valued at lower of cost or net realisable value. Cost includes cost of land, development rights, rates and
taxes, construction costs, borrowing costs, other direct expenditure, allocated overheads and other incidental expenses.
Finished stock of completed projects and stock in trade of units is valued at lower of cost or net realisable value.
The Group satisfies a performance obligation and recognize the revenue over the time if the Group’s performance does not create an asset
with an alternative use to the Group and it has an enforceable right to receive payment for performance completed till the date on the basis
of the agreement entered with customers, otherwise revenue is recognized point in time. The revenue is recognized at the point in time when
the control of the asset is transferred to the customer and the performance obligation is satisfied i.e. on transfer of legal title of the
residential unit and on completion of project and occupation certificate is received.
When it is not possible to reasonably measure the outcome of a performance obligation and the Group expect to recover the cost incurred in
satisfying the performance obligation revenue is recognized only to the extent of the cost incurred until such time that it can reasonably
measure the outcome of the performance obligation
The Group becomes entitled to invoice customers for construction of residential and commercial properties based on achieving a series of
construction-linked milestones. When the Group satisfies a performance obligation by delivering the promised goods or services it creates a
contract asset based on the amount of consideration earned by the performance. Any amount previously recognized as a contract asset is
reclassified to trade receivable at the point when the Group has the right to receive the consideration that is unconditional. If a customer
pays consideration before the Group transfer goods or services to the customer, the contract liability is recognized when the payment is
made or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue, when the Group performs under the
contract.
280
2.11 Income Tax
The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax
rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period
in the countries where the Group and its subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically
evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It
establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their carrying amount in the financial statement. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been
enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are excepted to apply when the related deferred income tax assets is
realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable
amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a
legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority.
Current tax assets and tax liabilities are off set where the Group has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net
basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Current and deferred tax is recognised in the Statement of profit and loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other
comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity,
respectively.
Minimum alternate tax (MAT) paid in a year is charged to statement of profit and loss as current tax. The Group recognizes MAT credit
available as an asset only to the extent that there is convincing evidence that the Group will pay normal income tax during the specified
period i.e. the period for which MAT credit is allowed to be carried forward. In the year in which the Group recognizes MAT credit as an asset
in accordance with the Guidance note on Accounting for Credit available in respect of Minimum Alternate Tax under the Income tax Act,
1961, the said asset is created by way of credit to the statement of profit and loss and shown as “MAT Credit Entitlement” under the deferred
tax assets. The Group reviews the “MAT Credit Entitlement” asset at each reporting date and writes down the asset to the extent the Group
does not have convincing evidence that it will pay normal tax during the specified period.
2.12.2 Post-employment
281
Defined benefit plan
The Group’s gratuity scheme is a defined benefit plan. The present value of obligation under such defined benefit plan is determined based
on actuarial valuation carried at the year-end using the Projected Unit Credit Method, which recognises each period of service as giving rise
to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation. The obligation is
measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The discount rate used for determining the present value of the obligation
under defined benefit plans, is based on the market yields on Government securities as at the balance sheet date.
The Group recognizes the following changes in the net defined benefit obligation under Employee benefit expense in statement of profit or
loss:
· Service costs comprising current service costs, past-service costs, gains and losses on curtailments and non-routine settlements
· Net interest expense or income
Remeasurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on the
net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability), are
recognized immediately in the Balance Sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through other comprehensive income
in the period in which they occur. Remeasurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.
The operating segments have been identified on the basis of the nature of products/services. Further:
• Segment revenue includes sales and other income directly identifiable with / allocable to the segment including inter–segment revenue.
• Expenses that are directly identifiable with / allocable to segments are considered for determining the segment result. Expenses which
relate to the Group as a whole and not allocable to segments are included under unallocable expenditure.
• Income which relates to the Group as a whole and not allocable to segments is included in unallocable income.
• Segment assets and liabilities include those directly identifiable with the respective segments. Unallocable assets and liabilities represent
the assets and liabilities that relate to the Group as a whole and not allocable to any segment.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the
weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effect of all potentially dilutive equity shares.
Borrowing costs are inventorised / capitalised as part of project cost when the activities that are necessary to prepare the inventory / asset
for its intended use or sale are in progress. Borrowing costs are suspended from inventorisation / capitalisation when development work on
the project is interrupted for extended periods and there is no imminent certainty of recommencement of work.
All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that the Group
incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.
282
For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposit held at call with
financial institutions, other short–term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible
to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are
shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the balance sheet.
Exchange differences:
Exchange differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised as income or expense in the Statement of Profit &
Loss.
2.19.1 Provisions:
A provision is recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past event, it is probable that an
outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount
of the obligation. These estimates are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. If the effect of the
time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to
the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.
When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when the
reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of profit and loss net of any
reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the
risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance
cost in respective expense.
The Group measures financial instruments, such as investments (other than equity investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures) and
derivatives at fair value at each Balance Sheet date.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an ordinary transaction between market
participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or
transfer the liability takes place either:
283
• In the principal market for asset or liability, or
• In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Group. The fair value of an asset or liability is measured using the
assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic
best interest. A fair value measurement of a non- financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic
benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest
and best use.
The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair
value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized
within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a
whole:
• Level 1- Quoted(unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
• Level 2- Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly
observable
• Level 3- Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable
For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have
occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to fair value
measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Group has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature,
characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.
The preparation of these Consolidated financial statements requires the management to make judgments, use estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the acGrouping disclosures, and the disclosure of
contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these judgements, assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material
adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods.
i. Taxes
Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of tax regulations, changes in tax laws, and the amount and timing of future taxable
income. Given the wide range of business relationships differences arising between the actual results and the assumptions made, or future
changes to such assumptions, could necessitate future adjustments to tax income and expense already recorded. The Group establishes
provisions, based on reasonable estimates. The amount of such provisions is based on various factors, such as experience of previous tax
assessments and differing interpretations of tax regulations by the taxable entity and the responsible tax authority.
iii. Contingencies
Contingent liabilities may arise from the ordinary course of business in relation to claims against the Group, including legal, contractor and
other claims. By their nature, contingencies will be resolved only when one or more uncertain future events occur or fail to occur. The
assessment of the existence, and potential quantum, of contingencies inherently involves the exercise of significant judgement and the use of
estimates regarding the outcome of future events.
284
v. Impairment of non-financial assets
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset including intangible assets having indefinite useful
life and goodwill may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group estimates
the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s CGU’S fair value less cost of disposal and its value
in use. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down
to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use , the estimated future cash flows are estimated based on past trend and discounted to
their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific
to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can
be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, or other fair value
indicators.
(vii) Provision for expected credit losses (ECL) of trade receivables and contract assets
The Group follows ‘simplified approach’ for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade receivables. Under this approach the Group
does not track changes in credit risk but recognizes impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. For this
purpose the Group uses a provision matrix to determine the impairment loss allowance on the portfolio of trade receivables. The said matrix
is based on historically observed default rates over the expected life of the trade receivables duly adjusted for forward looking estimates.
For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposures, the Group determines whether there has been a significant
increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, 12-month expected credit loss(ECL) is used to
provide for impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is used. If, in a subsequent period, credit quality
of the instrument improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, then the Group reverts to
recognizing impairment loss allowance based on 12-month ECL.
For assessing increase in credit risk and impairment loss, the Group combines financial instruments on the basis of shared credit risk
characteristics with the objective of facilitating an analysis that is designed to enable significant increases in credit risk to be identified on a
timely basis.
Lifetime ECL are the expected credit losses resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. The 12-
month ECL is a portion of the lifetime ECL which results from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months
after the reporting date.
ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Group in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that
the entity expects to receive (i.e., all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original EIR. The ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal)
recognized during the period in the statement of profit and loss and the cumulative loss is reduced from the carrying amount of the asset
until it meets the write off criteria, which is generally when no cash flows are expected to be realised from the asset.
285
(ii) Ind AS 16 – Proceeds before intended use
The amendments mainly prohibit an entity from deducting from the cost of property, plant and equipment amounts received from selling
items produced while the Group is preparing the asset for its intended use. Instead, an entity will recognise such sales proceeds and related
cost in profit or loss. The Group does not expect the amendments to have any impact in its recognition of its property, plant, and equipment
in its Financial Statements.
(iv) Deemed cost for property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets
The Group has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets recognised as of
April 1, 2021 (transition date) measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as its deemed cost as of the transition date.

provision required, other than those made in the accounts, if any. Also the Group does not have any significant concentration of
credit risk.

Notes to the Restated Consolidated Financial Information
All amounts are ₹ in Millions unless otherwise stated
The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The demographics of the Group’s
customer base, including the default risk of the industry and country, in which customers operate, has less influence on the credit risk.
The Group has entered into contracts for the sale of residential and commercial units on an installment basis. The installments are specified in the
contracts. The Group is exposed to credit risk in respect of installments due. However, the possession of residential and commercial units is
handed over to the buyer only after all the installments are recovered. In addition, installment dues are monitored on an ongoing basis with the
result that the Group’s exposure to credit risk is not significant. The Group evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as
low, as none of its customers constitutes significant portions of trade receivables as at the year end.
Credit risk from balances with banks and financial institutions is managed by Group's treasury in accordance with the Group’s policy. The Group
limits its exposure to credit risk by only placing balances with local banks of good
repute. Given the profile of its bankers, management does not expect any counterparty to fail in meeting its obligations.

presented in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus are a supplemental measure of our performance and liquidity that are not required
by, or presented in accordance with, Ind AS, Indian GAAP, or IFRS. Further, these Non-GAAP Measures are not a measurement
of our financial performance or liquidity under Ind AS, Indian GAAP, or IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or
construed as an alternative to cash flows, profit/ (loss) for the year or any other measure of financial performance or as an
indicator of our operating performance, liquidity, profitability or cash flows generated by operating, investing or financing
activities derived in accordance with Ind AS, Indian GAAP, or IFRS. In addition, these Non-GAAP Measures are not a

Other companies may calculate the Non-GAAP Measures differently from us, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

measure to evaluate a company’s operating performance. See ’Risk Factor – We have included certain non-GAAP financial
and operational measures related to our operations and financial performance that may vary from any standard methodology
that may be applicable across the industry in which we operate, and which may not be comparable with financial, operational

OVERVIEW
We are a fast growing real estate development Company with a significant presence in Mumbai, Maharashtra. (Source: Anarock
Report) Our operations are concentrated on the development of premium aspirational lifestyle residential premises in Mumbai,
Maharashtra, India’s commercial capital. As on July 31, 2023, we have developed 1.80 million square feet of residential
property (including through partnership entities in which we hold the majority stake). We are engaged in the development of
new projects and redevelopment of existing premises, and between 2017 and Q1 2023, we have launched 1,040 residential units
and sold 792 residential units in different markets in the MMR, Maharashtra. In particular, we have established a successful
track record of completing our projects on time, and from CY 2003 to March 2023, we have successfully completed
redevelopment of 9 projects in the western suburbs of Mumbai and 1 project in south-central Mumbai (through a partnership
firm in which we hold the majority stake) with a combined constructed area of 6,48,000 square feet. This track record has
established us as one of the major player of redevelopment in the Mumbai western suburbs. (Source: Anarock Report).
Our operations are strategically located in Mumbai, one of the biggest and most expensive real estate markets in India. Since
CY 2017 to Q1 2023, the MMR, Maharashtra has contributed the highest annual sales share of residential units across the top
7 cities in India, ranging from 27% to 32%. On average, the sales in MMR, Maharashtra accounted for 30% of the total
residential unit absorption during this time frame. Further, the residential market in MMR, Maharashtra stands out as the most
expensive, amongst the top 7 cities in India with a capital value of ₹ 12,200 per Sq. ft as of Q1 2023. Within the MMR,
Maharashtra, our operations are strategically located and we have significant operations in the western suburbs of the MMR,
Maharashtra and, from 2017, are amongst the top 10 developers in terms of supply in the Andheri East, Borivali West, Goregaon
East and Santacruz West micro-markets. (Source: Anarock Report).
We have developed a strong brand proposition and successful track record including by leveraging our lineage –Amit Mangilal
Jain, our Promoter, a second generation real-estate entrepreneur whose family was involved in real-estate development since
1986. We owe our strong brand recognition in the MMR, Maharashtra and our track-record to our customer-centric approach,
and our business model lays emphasis on developing high-end and premium budget aesthetically designed, sustainable
residential premises with life-style amenities and facilities in the high-density areas in the MMR, Maharashtra. We also have
a consistent track-record of meeting our project delivery timelines which is a critical aspect of our brand.
338
While we have over the years developed projects at different price points, we are currently developing projects have a very
broad per unit price point ranging from ₹ 9.44 million to ₹ 62.53 million. Our average per unit price point has increased over
the years and in Fiscal 2023, Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021, our minimum price point per unit was ₹ 6.95 million. While our
initial projects were stand-alone residential buildings, our current portfolio of ongoing projects includes gated communities
such as Arkade Nest, Arkade Crown and Arkade Aspire, Arkade Prime and Arkade Aura.
In the last 2 decades we have completed 27 projects (including stand-alone, projects executed by our Promoter through their
proprietorship and, or, through joint development arrangements with other third parties) aggregating more than 4 million square
feet of development and have catered to more than approximately 4,000 customers. Our projects have, generally, been financed
primarily through a mix of promoter equity and internal accruals. As on July 31, 2023, our debt equity ratio was 0.36.
We are, currently, developing approximately 2 million square feet across 5 Ongoing Projects and 2 Upcoming Projects (for
which we have executed development agreements and are in the process of obtaining approvals).
Ongoing Projects
Our Ongoing Projects comprise 5 projects located in prime locations in the western and eastern suburbs of Mumbai,
Maharashtra, which are at various stages of development. Set out below are some of the key aspects of our Ongoing Projects

Information provided in respect of our Ongoing Projects and upcoming projects are based on our current management plans
and are subject to change.
Our projects configuration and construction lay-outs are, predominantly, 2 and 3, (we have also undertaken projects with a
BHK configuration) and are designed to cater to discerning customers. Since aspirational life-style amenities and facilities are
a key element of our projects, our average land development area admeasures approximately 1 acre. We also strive to maintain
fast turn-around time and, currently, our average project completion time frame i.e. the period between receiving possession of
the land to delivery of the possession to the first customer is approximately 3 years (Average PCT).
Our revenue in Fiscal 2023, Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021 are ₹ 2,240.13 million, ₹ 2,371.82 million, and ₹ 1,131.85 million,
respectively. Our revenue from operations has grown at a CAGR of 26.69% between Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2023. All our
projects have been, and are, in the MMR, Maharashtra.
While, historically, our focus has been on the western suburbs of MMR, Maharashtra we have also developed high-end luxury
projects located in south Mumbai, Maharashtra. Further, in the recent years, we have sought to broaden our area of focus and
have undertaken projects in the eastern suburbs of Mumbai, Maharashtra, which have experienced substantial expansion and
development over a long period of time (Source: Anarock Report) where we expect to be able to acquire larger land parcels.
The development of general infrastructure in the eastern suburbs and the availability of larger parcels of land enables us to
undertake larger projects and develop premium with greater aspirational life-style amenities and facilities.

Our business can broadly be classified into two categories: (i) (ii) development / construction of residential premises on land
acquired by our Company (New Projects) and (ii) redevelopment of existing premises (Redevelopment Projects). Out of our
completed 27 projects (including our past projects that were jointly developed) 17 were New Projects and 10 are Redevelopment
Projects constituting 63% and 37% of our total projects, respectively. Further, of our 5 projects that are currently under-
development 3 are New Projects and 2 are Redevelopment Projects constituting 60% and 40% of our under-development
projects. Set out below is break-up of the revenue from Redevelopment Projects and New Projects in Fiscal 2023, Fiscal 2022,
and Fiscal 2021.
We have also set up an integrated in-house project management team to focus on procurement efficiencies, vendor selection
and construction activities. Our in-house sales team is supported by a distribution network of multiple non-exclusive and select
channel partners across India which cater to key high networth individuals and non resident Indians. We also have a full-
fledged in-house customer relationship team and after-sales team which supports customers from the property booking stage
till the final delivery of the property.
We have also established a long-standing relationship with professionals in the real estate development sector who are essential
part of a real estate project including interior designers and architects, RCC and structural engineers, and landscape and
gardening consultants. We have a select panel of professionals for each category and these professionals are identified on the
basis of various considerations including their technical abilities, track record of timeliness, and cost efficacy. We approach our
empanelled professionals on a project-by-project basis and execute project specific contracts taking into account various factors
including suitability to the scale of the project, availability and costing.
Land Reserves
We identify and acquire land as the need arises, and after having evaluated and analysed the need for, and the viability of, a
residential housing project in the area. Thereafter, our in-house teams carefully evaluate the proposed site and consider various
factors such as the dimensions of the land, proximity to public infrastructure such as hospitals and schools, connectivity, legal
antecedents including title etc.
Macro-economic conditions, and the factors affecting the real estate market, in India
We are pure-play real estate developer operating primarily in the MMR and surrounding regions. Accordingly, we all our
revenue from our real estate activities in India. Consequently, factors affecting the state of the Indian real estate sector,
particularly, the real estate sector in the MMR and neighbouring areas, and the Indian economy in general, are of significance
for our performance.
341
The Indian real estate sector faced challenges of adapting to various reforms and changes brought about by demonetization,
RERA, GST & IBC. These measures initially posed difficulties for the sector in aligning with the new regulations. However,
they ultimately proved beneficial by strengthening the industry and promoting transparency, accountability, and financial
discipline over the past few years. The structural changes introduced by RERA and GST played a crucial role in enhancing the
maturity and credibility of the sector, and gaining trust of various stakeholders. (Anarock Report) Further, India’s urbanization
rate is also increasing at a fast pace. As per UNDP projections, approximately 50% of India’s population will be urban by 2046.
Rapid urbanization is expected to drive the demand for housing, offices, and other real estate asset classes in the medium to
long term. UNDP has projected that there will be 8 cities with a population of 10 million and above by the year 2035 in India,
highlighting the unmet housing demand. Also, the Per Capita Net National Income of India has nearly doubled in less than a
decade despite being affected by the pandemic. Further, the mortgage industry in India has been on a continued growth
trajectory and the CAGR in the last 15 years has been 17%. (Anarock Report) All the aforementioned factors play a crucial role
in the growth of the real estate market in India. Our business operations are located in MMR and neighbouring and, therefore,
our growth is also linked to the performance of the MMR real estate market. During the period from 2017 to Q1 2023, MMR
achieved the highest annual sales share of residential units across the top seven cities of India, ranging from 27% to 32%. On
average, the sales in MMR accounted for 30% of the total residential unit absorption during this time frame. (Anarock Report)
During Fiscal 2021 to Fiscal 2023, we have sold and average of 150 residential units per annum across 8 development /
redevelopment projects, and our revenue from operations increased from ₹ 1,082.70 million to ₹ 2,201.52 million at a CAGR
of 26.69%. The overall economic growth and rising income levels and availability of disposable income, particularly in MMR
region are, therefore, for us to maintain our growth trajectory.
We follow a two-pronged approach to business growth (i) developing new projects, and (ii) redeveloping existing projects. This
is a business model that we have followed since inception and it has stood in good stead. The new projects give us additional
visibility and allow to conceive and design projects without certain constraints that redevelopment project, often, entail such as
paucity of land and other parties with their interests. However, the redevelopment model has other advantages including
comparatively lower capital expenditure vis-à-vis a new project development and choice of selecting projects for re-
development in well-established prime locations within our micro-markets.
We aim to continue our blended business model consisting of (i) redevelopment of residential premises and (ii) development /
construction of residential premises on land acquired by our Company. Our efficient use of capital and the financial strength
derived from our redevelopment projects provides us financial flexibility to undertake new projects in developing areas of
MMR, Maharashtra and also enables us to develop more premium properties. Therefore, we expect that our continuing focus
on the blended business model will remain a catalyst for our growth.
Our revenue from operations is directly proportionate to the price points at which we sell our projects. Over the years developed
projects at different price points, and our Ongoing Projects have a very broad per unit price point ranging from ₹ 9.44 million
to ₹ 62.53 million. Set out below is our average per unit price point.
(in ₹ million)
Particulars Highest price per unit Lowest price per unit Average per unit
Fiscal 2023 62.53 9.44 21.13
Fiscal 2022 63.60 6.95 16.96
Fiscal 2021 157.30 8.58 18.67
While we generally try to maintain reasonable level of consistency with our per unit price point, and these vary across micro-
markets, our prices are affected by prevailing market conditions and prices in the real estate sector in the MMR and in India,
generally, the nature and location of our projects, and other factors such as our brand and reputation and the design of the
projects. In addition, price of projects is affected by the market supply and demand which in-turn are affected by varying factors
beyond our control, including:
342
e) Competition from other developers in the micro-markets we operate in or are targeting; and
Since all of our Ongoing and Forthcoming projects are concentrated in the MMR, and in certain micro-markets within MMR,
we are particularly affected by changes in real estate market conditions in the MMR.
Our business operations are extremely reliant on the availability of land, whether free hold or leasehold, and the cost of such
land. In particular, we are dependent on the specific micro-markets of the MMR in which a vast majority of our operations are
located. The MMR is one of the biggest and most expensive real estate markets in India. In the MMR, the availability and cost
of land varies between micro-markets. For instance, island city of Mumbai has more older buildings than other parts of MMR
and has fewer vacant land parcels to do development, b) Between western suburbs and eastern (central railway) suburbs
proportion of redevelopment projects will be lower in eastern suburbs owing to availability of industrial lands getting converted
into residential development, c) Rest of MMR has the least proportion owing to the age of buildings being relatively lower and
more availability of vacant land. (Anarock Report)
A majority of our Ongoing Projects are located in the western suburbs and we also have a project ongoing in the central suburbs.
We expect that going forward our focus will continue to be on the western and central suburbs and we expect to foray into the
Thane region. Therefore, the availability and cost of land, in these areas is critical to our continuing operations and growth.
While in the past we have jointly developed projects, we have, in the recent past, moved away and are developing projects
independently. In the recent past, our practice has been to acquire the land on which we propose to develop the project. The
acquisition of land also requires us to deploy capital upfront which would either require us to maintain sufficient cash reserves
or to avail financing. Further, while we have a team that is proficient and specialises in land acquisition, acquisition of land in
India is still not easy.
In addition, the timing and quality of construction of the projects we develop depends on the availability and skill of our
contractors and consultants, as well as contingencies affecting them, including labor and industrial actions, such as strikes and
lockouts. Such labor and industrial actions may cause significant delays to the construction timetables for our projects and we
may therefore be required to find replacement contractors and consultants at higher cost. As a result, any increase in prices
resulting from higher construction costs could adversely affect demand for our projects and our profit margins. Further, timely
completion of our projects are dependent on the adherence to timelines by the various entities we engage on the project including
contractors for civil works Our contracts with contractors for civil works for instance includes penalty clauses for delays in
meeting the agreed construction timelines and, or, termination where on failure to adhere with specific aspects of the work
order. Nevertheless, we are, and will continue to remain, dependent on third parties for timely completion of our projects.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had significant repercussions across local, national and global economies and financial markets.
The global and domestic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the response of government authorities and public health
officials, has evolved over time. At the height of the pandemic, various measures were adopted including quarantines,
prohibiting public gatherings, travel restrictions, issuing “stay-at-home” orders and restricting the types of businesses that may
continue to operate. In addition to these lifestyle factors
Initially, COVID-19 caused construction delays at project sites of our Ongoing Projects due to several factors such as lockdowns
enforced by the government agencies, work-stoppage orders, disruptions in the supply of materials and shortage of labour. The
pandemic also resulted in a mass migration of the contract labour. We operated in strict compliance with the various directions
issued by the central, state and local authorities, from time to time.
343
To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic or other contagion or similar situations results in similar circumstances, our business
and financial conditions could be adversely affected and it may also significantly exacerbate the effect of other risks that we
are generally exposed to. See “Risk Factors - The COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects our business, financial condition,
results of operations, cash flows, liquidity and performance, and it may reduce the demand for our projects in future.”.

accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under Section 133 of the Act Companies (Indian Accounting
Standards) Rules, 2015 and other relevant provisions of the Act,
These Restated Consolidated Financial Information do not reflect the effects of events that occurred subsequent to the respective

345
The Restated Consolidated Financial Information:
a) have been prepared after incorporating adjustments for the changes in accounting policies, material errors, if any, and
regrouping/reclassifications retrospectively in the period/years ended March 31, 2023, March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021
to reflect the same accounting treatment as per the accounting policies and grouping/classifications followed as at and for
the year ended March 31, 2023.
b) do not require any adjustment for qualification as there are no qualifications in the underlying audit reports."
"These Restated financial Information have been prepared on a going concern basis following the accrual basis of accounting
in accordance with the Generally accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in India (Indian Accounting standards referred to as
“IndAS”) as specified under the section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Rule 3 of Companies (Indian Accounting
Standard) Rules, 2015 and relevant amendments rules issued thereafter and presentation requirements of Division II of Schedule
III to the Companies Act, 2013, (Ind AS compliant Schedule III). These standalone financial statements are presented in INR
and all values are rounded to the nearest Millions, except when otherwise indicated.
The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost convention, except for the following assets and liabilities:
iii. Investments in equity instruments, other than investments in subsidiary & associates firm, measured at fair value through
profit & loss account (FVTPL)"
Principles of Consolidation
Subsidiaries
"Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or
has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power
to direct the relevant activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to
the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group.
The Group combines the financial statements of the parent and its subsidiaries line by line adding together like items of assets,
liabilities, equity, income and expenses. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between
group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an
impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure
consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the restated consolidated statement of
profit and loss, restated consolidated statement of changes in equity and restated consolidated statement of assets and liabilities
respectively."
Associates
Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control or joint control. This is generally the
case where the Group holds between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the
equity method of accounting, after initially being recognised at cost.
Equity Method
"Under the equity method of accounting, the investments are initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the
Group’s share of the post acquisition profits or losses of the investee in profit and loss, and the Group’s share of other
comprehensive income of the investee in other comprehensive income. Dividends received or receivable from associates and
joint ventures are recognised as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment.
346
When the Group’s share of losses in an equity-accounted investment equals or exceeds its interest in the entity, including any
other unsecured long-term receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made
payments on behalf of the other entity.
Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates and joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the
Group’s interest in these entities.
Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.
Accounting policies of equity accounted investees have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies
adopted by the Group."
"The Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current/ non-current classification. An asset is treated
as current when it is:
− Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months
after the reporting period
− There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting
period."
The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents. The Company
has identified twelve months as its operating cycle.
"Property, plant and equipment are stated at their cost of acquisition. The cost comprises purchase price, borrowing cost if
capitalization criteria are met and directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for the intended use.
Any trade discount and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s
carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits
associated with the item will flow to the Company.
All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized in statement of profit or loss as incurred.
Subsequent costs are included in asset’s carrying amount or recognized as separate assets, as appropriate, only when it is
probable that future economic benefit associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of item can be measured
reliably.
An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognized is derecognized upon disposal or when
no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset
(calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the income
statement when the asset is derecognized.
347
Capital work-in-progress includes cost of property, plant and equipment under installation/under development as at the balance
sheet date.
The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial
year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate."
Intangible assets
"Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Cost of intangible assets acquired in business
combination is their fair value at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less
accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Internally generated intangibles, excluding capitalized development cost, are not capitalized and the related expenditure is
reflected in statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which the expenditure is incurred. Cost comprises the purchase price
and any attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually, either individually or at
the cash-generating unit level. The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life
continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis. The
Company has assessed indefinite life for such brand considering the expected usage, expected investment on brand, business
forecast and challenges to establish a premium electronic segment. These are carried at historical cost and tested for impairment
annually.
An intangible asset is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal.
Gains or losses arising from disposal of the intangible assets are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds
and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the statement of profit and loss when the assets are disposed off."
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is calculated on pro-rata basis on straight-line method using the useful lives
prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act 2013.
Followings are the estimated useful lives of various category of assets used which are aligned with useful lives defined in
schedule II of Companies Act,2013 :
"The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized
over their useful lives and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired.
The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life is reviewed at least at the
end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic
benefits embodied in the asset is accounted for by changing the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and are treated
as changes in accounting estimates. The amortization expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognized in the statement
of profit and loss.
"The Company assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication
exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An
asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash-generating unit’s (CGU) fair value less costs of disposal and its
value in use. The recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that
348
are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds
its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that
reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less
costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate
valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded
companies or other available fair value indicators.
The Company bases its impairment calculation on detailed budgets and forecast calculations, which are prepared separately for
each of the Company’s CGUs to which the individual assets are allocated. These budgets and forecast calculations generally
cover a period of five years. For longer periods, a long-term growth rate is calculated and applied to project future cash flows
after the fifth year. To estimate cash flow projections beyond periods covered by the most recent budgets/forecasts, the
Company extrapolates cash flow projections in the budget using a steady or declining growth rate for subsequent years, unless
an increasing rate can be justified. In any case, this growth rate does not exceed the long-term average growth rate for the
products, industries, or country or countries in which the Company operates, or for the market in which the asset is used.
Impairment losses of continuing operations, including impairment on inventories, are recognized in the statement of profit and
loss, except for properties previously revalued with the revaluation surplus taken to OCI. For such properties, the impairment
is recognized in OCI up to the amount of any previous revaluation surplus.
For assets excluding goodwill and intangible assets having indefinite life, an assessment is made at each reporting date to
determine whether there is an indication that previously recognized impairment losses no longer exist or have decreased. If
such indication exists, the Company estimates the asset’s or CGU’s recoverable amount. A previously recognized impairment
loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the
last impairment loss was recognized. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its
recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment
loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the statement of profit and loss unless the asset
is carried at a revalued amount, in which case, the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase.
As per the assessment conducted by the Company there were no indications that the non-financial assets have suffered an
impairment loss during the reporting periods."
Financial instruments
"A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity
instrument of another entity.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the
acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value
through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate,
on initial recognition."
Financial assets
"All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way
purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by
regulation or convention in the marketplace.
All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value, depending on
the classification of the financial assets "
"Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortised cost (except for debt instruments
that are designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition):
• the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash
flows: and
349
• the contractual terms of the instrument give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of
principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive
income (except for debt instruments that are designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition):
• the asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows
and selling financial assets: and
• the contractual terms of the instrument give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of
principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Interest income is recognised in profit or loss for FVTOCI debt instruments. For the purposes of recognising foreign exchange
gains and losses, FVTOCI debt instruments are treated as financial assets measured at amortised cost. Thus, the exchange
differences on the amortised cost are recognised in profit or loss and other changes in the fair value of FVTOCI financial assets
are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of 'Reserve for debt instruments through
other comprehensive income'. When the investment is disposed of, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in this
reserve is reclassified to profit or loss.
"The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest
income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts
(including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other
premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net
carrying amount on initial recognition.
Income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments other than those financial assets classified as at FVTPL.
Interest income is recognised in profit or loss and is included in the ""Other income"" line item.”
"initial recognition to present subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income for investments in equity
instruments, which are not held for trading.
Debt instruments that do not meet the amortised cost criteria or FVTOCI criteria (see above) are measured at FVTPL. In
addition, debt instruments that meet the amortised cost criteria or the FVTOCI criteria but are designated as at FVTPL are
measured at FVTPL.
A financial asset that meets the amortised cost criteria or debt instruments that meet the FVTOCI criteria may be designated as
at FVTPL upon initial recognition if such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition
inconsistency that would arise from measuring assets or liabilities or recognising the gains and losses on them on different
bases, The Company has not designated any debt instrument as at FVTPL.
Financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with any gains or losses arising on
remeasurements recognised in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss incorporates any dividend or
interest earned on the financial asset and is included in the 'Other income' line item. Dividend on financial assets at FVTPL is
recognised when the Company's right to receive the dividends is established, it is probable that the economic benefits associated
with the dividend will flow to the entity, the dividend does not represent a recovery of part of cost of the investment and the
amount of dividend can be measured reliably.”
On initial recognition, the Company can make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to present the
subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income pertaining to investments in equity instruments. This election
is not permitted if the equity investment is held for trading. These elected investments are initially measured at fair value plus
transaction costs.
350
Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognised in other
comprehensive income and accumulated in the 'Reserve for equity instruments through other comprehensive income'. The
cumulative gain or loss is not reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of the investments.
• it has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling it in the near term; or
• on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Company manages together
and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or
• it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument or a financial guarantee.
Dividends on these investments in equity instruments are recognised in profit or loss when the Company's right to receive the
dividends is established, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend win flow to the entity, the
dividend does not represent a recovery of part of cost of the investment and the amount of dividend can be measured reliably.
Dividends recognised in profit or loss is included in the 'Other income' line item.
The Company has not elected for the FVTOCI irrevocable option for this investment."
"The Company assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets. The impairment
methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. For trade receivables or any
contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset that result from transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 18,
the Company always measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses."
Derecognition of financial assets
"The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it
transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party. If the Company
neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset,
the Company recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the
Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Company continues to
recognise the financial asset and recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.
On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the sum of the
consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income
and accumulated in equity is recognised in profit or loss if such gain or loss would have otherwise been recognised in profit or
loss on disposal of that financial asset.
On derecognition of a financial asset other than in its entirety (e.g. when the Company retains an option to repurchase part of a
transferred asset), the Company allocates the previous carrying amount of the financial asset between the part it continues to
recognise under continuing involvement, and the part it no longer recognises on the basis of the relative fair values of those
parts on the date of the transfer. The difference between the carrying amount allocated to the part that is no longer recognised
and the sum of the consideration received for the part no longer recognised and any cumulative gain or loss allocated to it that
had been recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss if such gain or loss would have otherwise
been recognised in profit or loss on disposal of that financial asset. A cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other
comprehensive income is allocated between the part that continues to be recognised and the part that is no longer recognised
on the basis of the relative fair values of those parts."
Debt and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with
the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
Equity instruments
"deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct
issue costs.
351
Repurchase of the Company's own equity instruments is recognised and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss is
recognised in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company's own equity instruments."
Financial liabilities
All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method or at FVTPL.
"Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL when the financial liability is either held for trading or it is designated as at
FVTPL.
• It has been incurred principally for the purpose of repurchasing it in the near term; or
• on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Company manages together
and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or
A financial liability other than a financial liability held for trading may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if:
• such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would
otherwise arise;
• the financial liability forms part of a Company of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed
and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Company’s documented risk
management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or
• it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and Ind AS 109 permits the entire
combined contract to be designated as at FVTPL in accordance with Ind AS 109.
Financial liabilities at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognised in Statement
of Profit and Loss. The net gain or loss recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss incorporates any interest paid on the financial
liability and is included in the ‘other gains and losses' line item in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The Company derecognises
financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company's obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire. The difference
between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in
Statement of Profit and Loss."
Other financial liabilities (including borrowings and trade and other payables) are subsequently measured at amortised cost
using the effective interest method.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest
expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments
(including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other
premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net
carrying amount on initial recognition.
The Company derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company's obligations are discharged, cancelled or
have expired. An exchange between with a lender of debt instruments with substantially different terms is accounted for as an
extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability, Similarly, a substantial
modification of the terms of an existing financial liability (whether or not attributable to the financial difficulty of the debtor)
is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. The
difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is
recognised in profit or loss.
Investment in Subsidiaries
352
"The investment in subsidiaries are carried at cost as per IND AS 27. The Company regardless of the nature of its involvement
with an entity (the investee), determines whether it is a parent by assessing whether it controls the investee. The Company
controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the
ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.
Thus, the Company controls an investee if and only if it has all the following:
• exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and
• the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the returns.
Investments are accounted in accordance with Ind AS 105 when they are classified as held for sale. On disposal of investment,
the difference between its carrying amount and net disposal proceeds is charged or credited to the statement of profit and loss."
Inventories
"Inventories comprise of: (i) Construction materials and consumables (ii) Construction Work-In-Progress representing
properties under construction/development (iii) Finished Inventories representing unsold units in completed projects
The construction materials and consumables are valued at lower of cost or net realisable value. The construction materials and
consumables purchased for construction work issued to construction are treated as
The construction work in progress is valued at lower of cost or net realisable value. Cost includes cost of land, development
rights, rates and taxes, construction costs, borrowing costs, other direct expenditure, allocated overheads and other incidental
expenses.
Finished stock of completed projects and stock in trade of units is valued at lower of cost or net realisable value."
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from contacts with customer is recognized when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer at an
amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
Revenue is measured based on the transaction price which is the consideration, adjusted for discount and other credits, if any,
as specified in the contract with customer.
The Group presents revenue from contracts with customer net of indirect taxes in its statement of profit and loss. The Group
assesses its revenue arrangements against specific criteria to determine if it is acting as principal or agent. The Group has
concluded that it is acting as a principal in all of its revenue arrangement.
The Group considers whether there are other promises in the contract that are separate performance obligations to which a
portion of the transaction price needs to be allocated in determining the transaction price, the Group considers the effect of
variable consideration, the existence of significant financing components, non-cash consideration, and consideration payable
to the customer (if any).
The Group satisfies a performance obligation and recognize the revenue over the time if the Group’s performance does not
create an asset with an alternative use to the Group and it has an enforceable right to receive payment for performance completed
till the date on the basis of the agreement entered with customers, otherwise revenue is recognized point in time. The revenue
is recognized at the point in time when the control of the asset is transferred to the customer and the performance obligation is
satisfied i.e. on transfer of legal title of the residential unit and on completion of project and occupation certificate is received.
When it is not possible to reasonably measure the outcome of a performance obligation and the Group expect to recover the
cost incurred in satisfying the performance obligation revenue is recognized only to the extent of the cost incurred until such
time that it can reasonably measure the outcome of the performance obligation.
353
The Group becomes entitled to invoice customers for construction of residential and commercial properties based on achieving
a series of construction-linked milestones. When the Group satisfies a performance obligation by delivering the promised goods
or services it creates a contract asset based on the amount of consideration earned by the performance. Any amount previously
recognized as a contract asset is reclassified to trade receivable at the point when the Group has the right to receive the
consideration that is unconditional. If a customer pays consideration before the Group transfer goods or services to the customer,
the contract liability is recognized when the payment is made or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities
are recognized as revenue, when the Group performs under the contract.
Income Tax
"The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable
income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax
losses.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the
reporting period in the countries where the company and its subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income.
Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation
is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax
authorities.
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of
assets and liabilities and their carrying amount in the financial statement. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates
(and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are excepted to apply when
the related deferred income tax assets is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future
taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset
when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to
the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are off set where the company has a legally enforceable right
to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Current and deferred tax is recognised in the Statement of profit and loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised
in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or
directly in equity, respectively.
Minimum alternate tax (MAT) paid in a year is charged to statement of profit and loss as current tax. The Company recognizes
MAT credit available as an asset only to the extent that there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income
tax during the specified period i.e. the period for which MAT credit is allowed to be carried forward. In the year in which the
Company recognizes MAT credit as an asset in accordance with the Guidance note on Accounting for Credit available in respect
of Minimum Alternate Tax under the Income tax Act, 1961, the said asset is created by way of credit to the statement of profit
and loss and shown as “MAT Credit Entitlement” under the deferred tax assets. The Company reviews the “MAT Credit
Entitlement” asset at each reporting date and writes down the asset to the extent the Company does not have convincing evidence
that it will pay normal tax during the specified period."
Employee Benefits:
Short-term obligations
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within twelve months
after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognized in respect of employee service upto
the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amount expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities
are presented as current employee benefit obligations in the balance sheet.
Post-employment
The Company makes specified monthly contribution towards employee provident fund to Employees’ Provident Fund. The
Company’s contributions to the fund are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the financial year to which the
employee renders the service.
354
Defined benefit plan
The Company’s gratuity scheme is a defined benefit plan. The present value of obligation under such defined benefit plan is
determined based on actuarial valuation carried at the year-end using the Projected Unit Credit Method, which recognises each
period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up
the final obligation. The obligation is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The discount rate used
for determining the present value of the obligation under defined benefit plans, is based on the market yields on Government
securities as at the balance sheet date.
The Company recognizes the following changes in the net defined benefit obligation under Employee benefit expense in
statement of profit or loss:
• Service costs comprising current service costs, past-service costs, gains and losses on curtailments and non-routine
settlements
Remeasurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net
interest on the net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net
defined benefit liability), are recognized immediately in the Balance Sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained
earnings through other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurements are not reclassified to profit
or loss in subsequent periods.
Transition to Ind AS
• Applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases of similar assets in similar economic environment with a
similar end date
• Applied the exemption not to recognise right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with less than 12 months of
lease term on the date of initial application, variable lease and low value asset.
• Excluded the initial direct costs from the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application."
Segment reporting:
"Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision
maker. The Board of directors monitors the operating results of all product segments separately for the purpose of making
decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment.
The operating segments have been identified on the basis of the nature of products/services. Further:
• Segment revenue includes sales and other income directly identifiable with / allocable to the segment including
inter–segment revenue.
• Expenses that are directly identifiable with / allocable to segments are considered for determining the segment
result. Expenses which relate to the Company as a whole and not allocable to segments are included under
unallocable expenditure.
Income which relates to the Company as a whole and not allocable to segments is included in unallocable income.
•
• Segment assets and liabilities include those directly identifiable with the respective segments. Unallocable assets
and liabilities represent the assets and liabilities that relate to the Company as a whole and not allocable to any
segment."
"Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by
the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of equity shares
outstanding during the period is adjusted for events such as bonus issue, bonus element in a rights issue, share split, and reverse
355
share split (consolidation of shares) if any that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding
change in resources.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders
and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effect of all potentially dilutive
equity shares."
Borrowing costs
"Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to real estate project development activities are inventorised / capitalized as part
of project cost.
Borrowing costs are inventorised / capitalised as part of project cost when the activities that are necessary to prepare the
inventory / asset for its intended use or sale are in progress. Borrowing costs are suspended from inventorisation / capitalisation
when development work on the project is interrupted for extended periods and there is no imminent certainty of
recommencement of work.
All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs
that the Company incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds."
"Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an original
maturity of three months or less, that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of
changes in value.
For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposit held at
call with financial institutions, other short–term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that
are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank
overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the balance sheet."
The Company’s Financial Statements are presented in Indian rupee (₹) which is also the Company’s functional currency.
Foreign currency transaction are recorded on initial recognition in the functional currency, using the exchange rate prevailing
at the date of transaction
• Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated at the exchange rates
prevailing on the reporting date.
• Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the
exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions".
Exchange differences:
Exchange differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised as income or expense in the
Statement of Profit & Loss.
Provisions:
A provision is recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past event, it is
probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable
estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. These estimates are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect
the current best estimates. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax
356
rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision
due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.
When the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but
only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of profit and
loss net of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when
appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time
is recognised as a finance cost in respective expense.
As per, Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (RERA) vide section 14(3) a builder or developer will be liable
to repair any defect, on the building sold, for a period of Five years. Further, as per the terms of contracts with customers, the
company is liable for any defects, repairs and other claims for certain period after completion and handover of the possession
of developed properties. Provision for defect liability and repairs is recognized when sales from contracts with customer is
recognized. Certain percentage to the sales recognised is applied for the current accounting period to derive the provision for
expense to be accrued. The recognition percentage is based on management estimates of the possible future incidence. The
claims against defect liability and repairs from customers may not exactly match the historical percentage, so such estimates
are reviewed annually for any material changes in assumptions and likelihood of occurrence and revised accordingly.
Contingent Liabilities
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence
or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Company or a present obligation that is not
recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability
also arises in extremely rare cases, where there is a liability that cannot be recognized because it cannot be measured reliably.
The Company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements unless the
probability of outflow of resources is remote.
"that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an ordinary transaction between market participants at
the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer
the liability takes place either:
• In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company. The fair value of an asset or liability is
measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market
participants act in their economic best interest. A fair value measurement of a non- financial asset takes into account a market
participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market
participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to
measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair
value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a
whole:
• Level 1- Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
• Level 2- Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement
is directly or indirectly observable
• Level 3- Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement
is unobservable
357
For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether
transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is
significant to fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature,
characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above."
The preparation of these standalone financial statements requires the management to make judgments, use estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures,
and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these judgements, assumptions and estimates could result in
outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods.
i. Taxes
Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of tax regulations, changes in tax laws, and the amount and timing of future
taxable income. Given the wide range of business relationships differences arising between the actual results and the
assumptions made, or future changes to such assumptions, could necessitate future adjustments to tax income and expense
already recorded. The Company establishes provisions, based on reasonable estimates. The amount of such provisions is based
on various factors, such as experience of previous tax assessments and differing interpretations of tax regulations by the taxable
entity and the responsible tax authority.
The cost of defined benefit plans (i.e. Gratuity benefit) is determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves
making various assumptions which may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the
discount rate, future salary increases, mortality rates and future pension increases. Due to the complexity of the valuation, the
underlying assumptions and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these
assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date. In determining the appropriate discount rate, management
considers the interest rates of long term government bonds with extrapolated maturity corresponding to the expected duration
of the defined benefit obligation. The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables for India. Future salary
increases and pension increases are based on expected future inflation rates for India.
iii. Contingencies
Contingent liabilities may arise from the ordinary course of business in relation to claims against the Company, including legal,
contractor and other claims. By their nature, contingencies will be resolved only when one or more uncertain future events
occur or fail to occur. The assessment of the existence, and potential quantum, of contingencies inherently involves the exercise
of significant judgement and the use of estimates regarding the outcome of future events.
Property, Plant and Equipment represent significant portion of the asset base of the Company. The charge in respect of periodic
depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of assets expected useful life and expected value at the end of its useful
life. The useful life and residual value of Company’s assets are determined by Management at the time asset is acquired and
reviewed periodically including at the end of each year. The useful life is based on historical experience with similar assets, in
anticipation of future events, which may have impact on their life such as change in technology.
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset including intangible assets having
indefinite useful life and goodwill may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is
required, the Company estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s
CGU’S fair value less cost of disposal and its value in use. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its
recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use ,
the estimated future cash flows are estimated based on past trend and discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount
rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair
value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an
appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, or other fair value indicators.
358
vi. Provisions for Defect liability and repairs
As per, Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (RERA) vide section 14(3) a builder or developer will be liable
to repair any defect, on the building sold, for a period of Five years. Further, as per the terms of contracts with customers, the
company is liable for any defects, repairs and other claims for certain period after completion and handover of the possession
of developed properties. Provision for defect liability and repairs is recognized when sales from contracts with customer is
recognized. Certain percentage to the sales recognised is applied for the current accounting period to derive the provision for
expense to be accrued. The recognition percentage is based on management estimates of the possible future incidence. The
claims against defect liability and repairs from customers may not exactly match the historical percentage, so such estimates
are reviewed annually for any material changes in assumptions and likelihood of occurrence and revised accordingly.
(vii) Provision for expected credit losses (ECL) of trade receivables and contract assets
"The company follows ‘simplified approach’ for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade receivables. Under this
approach the company does not track changes in credit risk but recognizes impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs
at each reporting date. For this purpose the company uses a provision matrix to determine the impairment loss allowance on the
portfolio of trade receivables. The said matrix is based on historically observed default rates over the expected life of the trade
receivables duly adjusted for forward looking estimates.
For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposures, the company determines whether there has been
a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, 12-month expected
credit loss(ECL) is used to provide for impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is
used. If, in a subsequent period, credit quality of the instrument improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in
credit risk since initial recognition, then the company reverts to recognizing impairment loss allowance based on 12-month
ECL.
For assessing increase in credit risk and impairment loss, the Company combines financial instruments on the basis of shared
credit risk characteristics with the objective of facilitating an analysis that is designed to enable significant increases in credit
risk to be identified on a timely basis.
Lifetime ECL are the expected credit losses resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial
instrument. The 12-month ECL is a portion of the lifetime ECL which results from default events on a financial instrument that
are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.
ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the company in accordance with the contract and all
the cash flows that the entity expects to receive (i.e., all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original EIR. The ECL impairment
loss allowance (or reversal) recognized during the period in the statement of profit and loss and the cumulative loss is reduced
from the carrying amount of the asset until it meets the write off criteria, which is generally when no cash flows are expected
to be realised from the asset."
Determining whether the investments in subsidiaries are impaired requires an estimate in the value in use of investments. In
considering the value in use, the Directors have anticipated the future operating margins, resources and availability of
infrastructure, discount rates and other factors of the underlying businesses/operations of the investee companies. Any
subsequent changes to the cash flows due to changes in the above-mentioned factors could impact the carrying value of
investments.
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notifies new standard or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian
Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. On March 23, 2022, MCA amended the Companies (Indian
Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2022, applicable from April 1, 2022, as below:
The amendments specify that to qualify for recognition as part of applying the acquisition method, the identifiable assets
acquired, and liabilities assumed must meet the definitions of assets and liabilities in the Conceptual Framework for Financial
Reporting under Indian Accounting Standards (Conceptual Framework) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of
India at the acquisition date. These changes do not significantly change the requirements of Ind AS 103. The Company does
not expect the amendment to have any significant impact in its Financial Statements.
359
(ii) Ind AS 16 – Proceeds before intended use
The amendments mainly prohibit an entity from deducting from the cost of property, plant and equipment amounts received
from selling items produced while the company is preparing the asset for its intended use. Instead, an entity will recognise such
sales proceeds and related cost in profit or loss. The Company does not expect the amendments to have any impact in its
recognition of its property, plant, and equipment in its Financial Statements.
The amendments specify that that the ‘cost of fulfilling’ a contract comprises the ‘costs that relate directly to the contract’.
Costs that relate directly to a contract can either be incremental costs of fulfilling that contract (examples would be direct labour
materials) or an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling contracts. The amendment is essentially a clarification,
and the Company does not expect the amendment to have any significant impact in its Financial Statements.
The amendment clarifies which fees an entity includes when it applies the ‘10 percent’ test of Ind AS 109 in assessing whether
to derecognise a financial liability. The Company does not expect the amendment to have any significant impact in its Financial
Statements.
The amendments remove the illustration of the reimbursement of leasehold improvements by the lessor in order to resolve any
potential confusion regarding the treatment of lease incentives that might arise because of how lease incentives were described
in that illustration. The Company does not expect the amendment to have any significant impact in its Financial Statements.
The Company has prepared the opening balance sheet as per Ind AS as of April 1, 2021 (the transition date) by,
· recognising all assets and liabilities whose recognition is required by Ind AS,
· not recognising items of assets or liabilities which are not permitted by Ind AS,
· by reclassifying items from previous GAAP to Ind AS as required under Ind AS, and
However, this principle is subject to the certain exception and certain optional exemptions availed by the Company as detailed
below. Since, the financial statements are the first financial statements, the first time adoption – mandatory exceptions and
optional exemptions have been explained in detail.
The Company has applied the derecognition requirements of financial assets and financial liabilities prospectively for
transactions occurring on or after April 1, 2021 (the transition date).
The Company has designated financial liabilities and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss on the basis of the facts
and circumstances that exist at the date of transition to Ind AS.
The Company has applied the impairment requirements of Ind AS 109 retrospectively; however, as permitted by Ind AS 101,
it has used reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort to determine the credit risk at
the date that financial instruments were initially recognised in order to compare it with the credit risk at the transition date.
Further, the Company has not undertaken an exhaustive search for information when determining, at the date of transition to
Ind ASs, whether there have been significant increases in credit risk since initial recognition, as permitted by Ind AS 101.
(iv) Deemed cost for property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets
The Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets
recognised as of April 1, 2021 (transition date) measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as its deemed
cost as of the transition date.

in miscellaneous income.
Expenses
Our total expenses decreased by 9.77% from ₹ 1,788.89 million in Fiscal 2022 to ₹ 1,614.14 million in Fiscal 2023 primarily
due to (i) reduction in total inventory cost (i.e., construction cost plus changes in inventories of finished goods and work in
progress), and (ii) reduction in finance cost which was off-set to a certain extent by increase in employee benefit expenses,
depreciation and other expenses.
Cost of construction and Change in inventories of finished goods and work-in-progress (i.e. Inventory cost)

cash equivalents (balance in current accounts and cash in hand).
Historically, we have been able to finance our capital requirements and the expansion of our business through a combination
of funds generated from our operations and working capital facilities from banks and unsecured loans from our Promoters.
Our primary capital requirements are working capital for our operations and capital expenditures. We believe that considering
the expected cash to be generated from our business and the Net Proceeds, we will have sufficient capital to meet our anticipated
366
capital requirements for our working capital requirements for the 12 months following the date of this Draft Red Herring
Prospectus.

management personnel, their relatives, enterprise over which they are able to exercise significant influence and associate
firm/LLP on an arm’s length basis, in compliance with applicable law. For further details of our related party transactions,
please see ‘Restated Consolidated Financial Information - Note no. 39 - Related Party Transactions’.
Our Restated Consolidated Financial Information do not contain any qualifications, reservations and matters of emphasis by
our Statutory Auditor in their examination report.
370
Other than as disclosed in the Restated Consolidated Financial Information, there have been no changes in accounting policies
in the last three Fiscals.
Our Company’s principal financial liabilities comprise loans and borrowings and trade and other payables. The main purpose
of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company’s operations. Our Company’s principal financial assets include loans,
trade and other receivables, and cash and cash equivalents that derive directly from its operations.
Our Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Our Company periodically reviews the risk management
policy so that the management manages the risk through properly defined mechanism. The focus is to foresee the
unpredictability and minimise potential adverse effects on the Company’s financial performance. Our Company’s overall risk
management procedures to minimise the potential adverse effects of financial market on the Company’s performance are as
follows:
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in
market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk, such as equity
price risk and commodity risk.
Our Company is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk from long-term borrowings at variable rate. Currently the Company has
external borrowings and borrowings from promoter & promoter groups which are fixed and floating rate borrowings. Our
Company achieves the optimum interest rate profile by refinancing when the interest rates go down. However this does not
protect Company entirely from the risk of paying rates in excess of current market rates nor eliminates fully cash flow risk
associated with variability in interest payments, it considers that it achieves an appropriate balance of exposure to these risks.
Foreign Currency Risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in
foreign currency rates. Exposures can arise on account of the various assets and liabilities which are denominated in currencies
other than Indian Rupee.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading
to a financial loss. Our Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from
its financing activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and other
financial instruments.
Our Company’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The
demographics of the Company’s customer base, including the default risk of the industry and country, in which customers
operate, has less influence on the credit risk.
Our Company has entered into contracts for the sale of residential and commercial units on an instalment basis. The installments
are specified in the contracts. Our Company is exposed to credit risk in respect of installments due. However, the possession of
residential and commercial units is handed over to the buyer only after all the installments are recovered. In addition, instalment
dues are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Company’s exposure to credit risk is not significant. Our
Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as none of its customers constitutes
significant portions of trade receivables as at the year end.
Credit risk from balances with banks and financial institutions is managed by Company's treasury in accordance with the
Company’s policy. The company limits its exposure to credit risk by only placing balances with local banks of good repute.
Given the profile of its bankers, management does not expect any counterparty to fail in meeting its obligations.
Liquidity risk
371
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with
financial instruments that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. Liquidity risk may result from an inability to
sell a financial asset quickly at close to its fair value. Our Company has an established liquidity risk management framework
for managing its short term, medium term and long term funding and liquidity management requirements. Our Company’s
exposure to liquidity risk arises primarily from mismatches of the maturities of financial assets and liabilities. Our Company
manages the liquidity risk by maintaining adequate funds in cash and cash equivalents. Surplus funds not immediately required
are invested in certain financial assets which provide flexibility to liquidate at short notice and are included in cash equivalents.
Competitive Conditions

Business – Competition’.
Except as set out in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, there have been, to our knowledge, no unusual or infrequent events or

11.82 million on December 12, 2016 (Demand Notice) under Section 156 of the IT Act against Amit
Mangilal Jain, (our Promoter, Managing Director and Chairman) (Assessee) alleging contravention of
provision of Section 147 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 in the assessment year 2010-11, for escaping an
income of ₹ 20.00 million from the assessment. Subsequently, the Assessee instituted an appeal on
379
February 1, 2017, against the Demand Notice before the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals),
Mumbai (CIT (A)). For more details, please see Outstanding Litigation and Other Material
Developments – Direct Tax Litigation – Litigation involving our Promoter – A. Litigation against our
Promoter.
iii. The Assistant Commissioner of Income Tax (Assistant Commissioner) has passed a reassessment order
dated 30 December 2016 for the Assessment Years 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 against Amit Mangilal
Jain (our Promoter, Managing Director and Chairman) (Assessee) where additions of ₹ 68.00 million
and ₹ 20.00 million respectively, were included as undisclosed cash in the hands of the Assessee. The
said order was appealed to by the Assessee before the Commissioner of Income Tax Appeals, Mumbai
(CIT (A)). Penalty proceedings were further initiated by the Assistant Commissioner against the
Assessee under Section 271(1)(c) of the Income Tax Act,1961 (Act). The proceedings are still pending,
and no penalty has been levied on the Assessee. The Principal Commissioner of Income Tax (Principal
Commissioner), during the pendency of the penalty and proceedings before the CIT (A), issued a
sanction to the Assistant Commissioner to commence prosecution against the Assessee before the
Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (Magistrate) under Section 276C (1) of the Act i.e., willful
attempt to evade tax and under Section 277 Act i.e., making a false statement in a verification made under
the Act. An order dated 3 August 2018 was passed by the Magistrate taking cognizance of the offence.
Subsequently, CIT(A) relinquished the Assessee’s liability in relation to the unaccounted sums for the
AY 2009-2010 and 2010-2011. The Commissioners have further appealed to the Income Tax Appellate
Tribunal (ITAT) which by an order dated 10 August 2022 restored the matter back to the CIT. The
Assessee has preferred appeals by filing 2 Writ Petitions bearing Writ Petition Nos. 970 of 2023 and
4473 of 2023 respectively before the High Court of Judicature at Bombay. The first Writ Petition is an
appeal against the complaint filed under Section 276C (1) of the Act on the grounds that the criminal
prosecution is against the Income Tax circular no.285/90/2008-IT (Inv.-I)/05 and that the complaint is
premature as the proceedings are still pending before the Appellate authority. The second Writ Petition
is an appeal against the complaint filed under Section 277 of the Act on grounds that it was bad in law
since the Assessing Officer recording the statement was not statutorily authorized to do so and that
criminal proceedings under this provision can only be initiated when an assessee refuses or evades giving
a statement. The Assessee has further preferred an Income Tax Appeal bearing No. 1111 of 2023 against
the order of the ITAT before the High Court of Judicature at Bombay which is pending on the grounds
that the ITAT has erred in remanding the matter back to the CIT which would amount to a case of double
taxation. Additionally, the High Court has passed an order dated 31 March 2023 staying the proceedings
of the Magistrate till 26 April 2023.

Jurisdiction

In accordance with Section 72 of the Companies Act, and rules framed thereunder, the Sole Bidder, or the First
Bidder along with other joint Bidders, may nominate any 1 person in whom, in the event of the death of Sole
Bidder or in case of Joint Bidders, death of all the Bidders, as the case may be, the Equity Shares Allotted, if any,
shall vest. A person, being a nominee, entitled to the Equity Shares by reason of the death of the original holder(s),
shall be entitled to the same advantages to which he or she would be entitled if he or she were the registered holder
of the Equity Share(s). Where the nominee is a minor, the holder(s) may make a nomination to appoint, in the
prescribed manner, any person to become entitled to Equity Share(s) in the event of his or her death during the
minority. A nomination shall stand rescinded upon a sale/ transfer/ alienation of Equity Share(s) by the person
nominating. A nomination may be cancelled or varied by nominating any other person in place of the present
nominee, by the holder of the Equity Shares who has made the nomination, by giving a notice of such cancellation
or variation to our Company in the prescribed form. A buyer will be entitled to make a fresh nomination/ cancel
404
nomination in the manner prescribed. Fresh nomination can be made only on the prescribed form available on
request at our Registered Office or to the registrar and transfer agents of our Company.
Any person who becomes a nominee by virtue of the provisions of Section 72 of the Companies Act, shall upon
the production of such evidence as may be required by our Board, elect either:
a) to register himself or herself as the holder of the Equity Shares; or
b) to make such transfer of the Equity Shares, as the deceased holder could have made.
Further, our Board may, at any time, give notice requiring any nominee to choose either to be registered himself
or herself or to transfer the Equity Shares, and if the notice is not complied with within a period of 90 days, our
Board may thereafter withhold payment of all dividends, interests, bonuses or other moneys payable in respect of
the Equity Shares, until the requirements of the notice have been complied with.
Since the Allotment of Equity Shares in the Issue will be made only in dematerialized form, there is no requirement
to make a separate nomination with our Company. Nominations registered with respective Depository Participant
of the Bidder would prevail. If the Bidder wants to change the nomination, they are requested to inform their
respective Depository Participants.

intermediaries with the objective to reduce the time duration from public issue closure to listing from 6 Working
Days to up to 3 Working Days. Considering the time required for making necessary changes to the systems and
to ensure complete and smooth transition to the UPI payment mechanism, the UPI Circulars have introduced and
implemented the UPI payment mechanism in 3 phases in the following manner:
1. Phase I: This phase was applicable from January 1, 2019 until March 31, 2019 or floating of 5 main board
public issues, whichever was later. Subsequently, the timeline for implementation of Phase I was extended
until June 30, 2019. Under this phase, an RII also had the option to submit the ASBA Form with any of

public issue closure to listing would continue to be 6 Working Days.
2. Phase II: This phase has become applicable from July 1, 2019 SEBI through its Circular no.

decided to continue Phase II of UPI with ASBA until further notice. Under this phase, submission of the
physical ASBA Form by an RII through Designated Intermediaries (other than SCSBs) to SCSBs for
blocking of funds has been discontinued and is replaced by the UPI payment mechanism. However, the
time duration from public issue closure to listing continues to be 6 Working Days during this phase.

RESTRICTIONS ON FOREIGN OWNERSHIP OF INDIAN SECURITIES
Foreign investment in Indian securities is regulated through the Industrial Policy, 1991 of the Government of India
and FEMA. While the Industrial Policy, 1991 prescribes the limits and the conditions subject to which foreign
investment can be made in different sectors of the Indian economy, FEMA regulates the precise manner in which
such investment may be made. Under the Industrial Policy, 1991, unless specifically restricted, foreign investment
is freely permitted in all sectors of the Indian economy up to any extent and without any prior approvals, but the
foreign investor is required to follow certain prescribed procedures for making such investment. The concerned
ministries/departments are responsible for granting approval for foreign investment. The Government has from
time to time made policy pronouncements on foreign direct investment (FDI) through press notes and press
releases.
The Government of India has from time to time made policy pronouncements on FDI through press notes and
press releases. The DPIIT issued the Consolidated FDI Policy Circular dated October 15, 2020, with effect from
October 15, 2020 (Consolidated FDI Policy), which consolidates and supersedes all previous press notes, press
releases and clarifications on FDI issued by the DPIIT that were in force and effect prior to October 15, 2020. The
FDI Policy will be valid until the DPIIT issues an updated circular. FDI in companies engaged in sectors/ activities
which are not listed in the FDI Policy is permitted up to 100% of the paid-up share capital of such company under
the automatic route, subject to compliance with certain prescribed conditions.
As per the Consolidated FDI Policy, FDI in companies engaged in construction development projects (including
development of townships, construction of residential/commercial premises, roads or bridges, hotels, resorts,
hospitals, educational institutions, recreational facilities, city and regional level infrastructure, townships), which
is the sector in which our Company operates, is permitted up to 100% of the paid-up share capital of such company
under the automatic route subject to the following conditions:
• Each phase of the construction development project would be considered as a separate project;
• The investor will be permitted to exit on completion of the project or after development of trunk
infrastructure i.e. roads, water supply, street lighting, drainage and sewerage. However, a foreign investor
will be permitted to exit and repatriate foreign investment before the completion of project under
automatic route, provided that a lock-in-period of 3 years, calculated with reference to each tranche of
foreign investment has been completed. Further, transfer of stake from one non-resident to another non-
resident, without repatriation of investment will neither be subject to any lock-in period nor to any
government approval;

community amenities and common facilities, as laid down in the applicable building control regulations,
bye-laws, rules, and other regulations of the State Government or Municipal or Local Body concerned;

payment of development, external development and other charges and complying with all other
requirements as prescribed under applicable rules or bye-laws or regulations of the State Government or
Municipal or Local Body concerned;

shopping complexes and business centres. Consequent to such foreign investment, transfer of ownership and/or
control of the investee company from residents to non-residents is also permitted. However, there would be a
lock-in-period of 3 years, calculated with reference to each tranche of FDI, and transfer of immovable property
or part thereof is not permitted during this period. Completion of the project will be determined as per the local
bye-laws or rules and other regulations of State Governments.
The transfer of shares between an Indian resident and a non-resident does not require the prior approval of the
RBI, provided that: (i) the activities of the investee company are under the automatic route under the foreign direct
investment policy and transfer does not attract the provisions of the SEBI Takeover Regulations; (ii) the non-
434
resident shareholding is within the sectoral limits under the Consolidated FDI policy; and (iii) the pricing is in
accordance with the guidelines prescribed by the SEBI/RBI.
On October 17, 2019, Ministry of Finance, Department of Economic Affairs, Government of India notified the

Resident Outside India) Regulations 2017. Foreign investment in this Issue shall be on the basis of, and in

instruments by entities of a country which shares land border with India or where the beneficial owner of an
investment into India is situated in or is a citizen of any such country, will require prior approval of the
Government, as prescribed in the Consolidated FDI Policy and the FEMA Rules. Further, in the event of transfer
of ownership of any existing or future foreign direct investment in an entity in India, directly or indirectly,
resulting in the beneficial ownership falling within the aforesaid restriction/ purview, such subsequent change in
the beneficial ownership will also require approval of the Government. Pursuant to the Foreign Exchange
Management (Non-debt Instruments) (Fourth Amendment) Rules, 2020 which came into effect on December 8,
2020, a multilateral bank or fund, of which India is a member, shall not be treated as an entity of a particular
country nor shall any country be treated as the beneficial owner of the investments of such bank or fund in India.
