Global Economy
Though the forecast was negative growth in the year 2023 in the global real estate
market but it grew from $3694.47 billion in 2022 to $3976.18 billion in 2023 at a compound
annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global
economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term but the industry
showed an improved trend of growth despite the war.
Industry Overview in India
India was one of the fastest growing economies in the world. As we have already seen,
the property market in India is poised to grow immensely in 2023 as well as in the years
to come. According to reports, the period between 2023 and 2028, the sector will register
a compound annual growth rate of 9.2%. Since work-from-home and hybrid models have already
gained popularity, there is a growing tendency among customers to move away from the city
and opt for larger homes in the suburbs. Yet another trend is the integration of living
spaces and office spaces. Developers now offer dedicated office spaces in the clubhouse or
as a separate space. In addition to this, they also offer provisions for home offices in
individual units.
Although headline inflation is elevated, it is projected to decline to an average of
5.2% in FY 2023-24, amid easing global commodity prices and some moderation in domestic
demand. The Reserve Bank of India has withdrawn accommodative measures to rein in
inflation by hiking the policy interest rate. Indias financial sector also remains
strong, buoyed by improvements in asset quality and robust private sector credit growth.
2023 proved to be a year of a new high for the Indian real estate market. Both, new
launches and home sales saw a significant improvement in last year and has maintained the
same momentum in 2023 as well. The real estate market in India has been tried and tested,
and widely thought to be immune to the volatility in the market. Interestingly, the real
estate market has stayed true to the expectations of real estate investors despite the
number of ups and downs in the last couple of years. Fortunately, positive expectations
and a rise in the momentum of growth have demonstrated the markets ability to persist and
will continue to do so in 2023 and the upcoming years as well.
The real estate market in India offers something for every type of investor out there.
Considering 2023, the general Indian economy shows encouraging indicators, including a
rebound from the current stock market fall, a predicted increase in the creation of new
employment opportunities, and an overall growth. These indicators will ultimately lead to
a rise in the demand for housing societies in the country as more and more individuals
step into the housing market.
Let us take a look at some of the top real estate trends in 2023 that are predicted to
rule the real estate market:
The residential real estate market in India had shown astounding progress in 2023, a
growth of 9.2% was registered on year on year, further demonstrating the industrys
prominence as one of Indias fastest growing industries. After 2 years of being affected
by COVID, Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities have arisen as fresh major real estate trends in 2023,
and the real estate market has set unprecedented benchmarks which continued its growth
momentum from 2022 amid the global slowdown in the past years.

OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES Opportunities
As India awaits policy reforms to pick up speed, your Company firmly believes that the
demand for Real Estate in a country like India should remain strong in the medium to long
term. Your Companys well accepted brand, contemporary architecture, well designed
projects in strategic locations, strong balance sheet and stable financial performance
even in testing times make it a preferred choice for customers and shareholders. Your
Company is ideally placed to further strengthen its development potential by acquiring new
land parcels. Your company has also broken the geographical barrier by start of the
project in Ludhiana City. Proposal to start projects in Mohali and New Chandigarh is also
on the cards.
Challenges
While the management of your Company is confident of creating and exploiting the
opportunities, it also finds the following challenges:
- Unanticipated delays in project approvals;
- Availability of accomplished and trained labour force;
- Increased cost of manpower;
- Rising cost of construction;
- Growth in auxiliary infrastructure facilities; and
- Over regulated environment.
COMPANY STRENGTHS

strengths. These include:
1. Brand Reputation: Enjoys higher recall and influences the buying decision of the
customer. Strong customer connects further results in higher premium realizations.
2. Execution: Possesses a successful track record of quality execution of projects with
contemporary architecture.

RISKS AND CONCERNS
Market price fluctuation
The performance of your Company may be affected by the sales and rental realizations of
its projects. These prices are driven by prevailing market conditions, the nature and
location of the projects, and other factors such as brand and reputation and the design of
the projects. Your Company follows a prudent business model and tries to ensure steady
cash flow even during adverse pricing scenario.
Sales volume
The volume of bookings depends on the ability to design projects that will meet
customer preferences, getting various approvals in time, general market factors, project
launch and customer trust in entering into sale agreements well in advance of handing over
the possession of the projects. Your Company sells its projects in phases from the time it
launches the project, based on the type and scale of the project and depending on market
conditions
Execution
Execution depends on several factors which include labour availability, raw material
prices, receipt of approvals and regulatory clearances, access to utilities such as
electricity and water, weather conditions and the absence of contingencies such as
litigation. Your Company manages the adversities with cautious approach, meticulous
planning and by engaging established and reputed contractors. As your Company imports
various materials, at times execution is also dependent upon timely shipment and clearance
of the material.
Rental realizations
The rental realizations on the space leased depends upon the project location, design,
tenant mix (this is relevant in the case of shopping malls), prevailing economic
conditions and competition. Your Company has set up its retail property in prime location
and maintains a fresh ambience resulting in crowd pull and attracting first time kind of
retailers. As far as the office space rentals are concerned, the same depends on demand
and supply, general economic conditions, business confidence and competition.
Land/Development rights costs and availability
The cost of land forms a substantial part of the project cost. It includes amounts paid
for freehold rights, leasehold rights, eligible FSI, construction cost of area given to
landlords in consideration for development rights, registration and stamp duty. Your
Company may acquire land/land development rights from the government and private parties.
It ensures that the consideration paid for the land is as per the prevailing market
conditions, reasonable and market timed. Your Company also enters into MOUs and makes
advances for the land/land development rights prior to entering into definitive
agreements. The ensuing negotiations may result in either a transaction for the
acquisition of the land/land development rights or the Company.
Financing costs
The acquisition of land and development rights needs substantial capital outflow.
Inadequate funding resources and high interest costs may impact regular business and
operations. Your Company has always tried to build sufficient reserves resulting out of
operating cash flows to take advantage of any land acquisition or development opportunity.
Outlook
As we enter 2023, the momentum of historic sales but will remain strong to narrate a
positive story. Unlike the past year, the real estate sector is now picking up with home
buyers willing to make the move. With most workers displaced during the lockdown now back,
construction activity has resumed and work is moving at a faster pace to fulfil
commitments. The demand for residential property has in fact also been guided by the
concept of work from home as families are now looking out for an upgrade as individual
space becomes a crucial factor.
Strengthen relationships with key service providers and develop multiple vendors
In order to continue delivering landmark offerings to our customer, we shall further
strengthen our relationship with our key service providers, i.e. architects, designer and
contractors. Your Company is also working on strategy to develop more and more vendors who
can deliver product and services in line with Companys philosophy and product offerings.
Internal Control Systems
The Company has also focused on upgrading the IT infrastructure both in terms of
hardware and software. In addition to the existing ERP platform, the Company is presently
reviewing the process documentation to ensure effectiveness of the controls in all the
critical functional areas of the Company.
