3. OUTLOOK FOR INDIAN ECONOMY & INDUSTRIAL STRUCTURE:

India has emerged as the fastest growing major economy in the world and is expected to be one of the top three economic powers in the world over the next 10-15 years, backed by its robust democracy and strong partnerships.

A number of sectors in India - real estate, steel, cement, home building products and consumer durables, among others - reported unprecedented growth. Real estate sector in India is expected to reach US$ 1 trillion in market size by 2030, up from US$ 200 billion in 2023 and contribute 13% to the countrys GDP by 2025. Retail, hospitality and commercial real estate are also growing significantly, providing the much-needed infrastructure for Indias growing needs.

In 2023, we anticipate further downward trends in the global economy. This however, should be an opportunity for the Indian economy to become a world leader. The real estate sector is likely to continue on its journey of long term growth as we see a continuous rise in GDP per capita, larger disposable incomes, growing urbanization and most of all a larger focus of the world on us as the next big economy.

An increase in earning potential, a need for a better standard of living and the growing base of aspirational consumers and their lifestyle changes have led to substantial growth in the sector. With suited economic growth, the premium housing segment will also witness higher demand in the years to come.

Indias growth continues to be resilient despite some signs of moderation in growth, although significant challenges remain in the global environment, India was one of the fastest growing economies in the world.

The overall growth remains robust and is estimated to be 6.9% for the full year with real GDP growing 7.7% year on year during the first three quarters of FY 2022-23. There were some signs of moderation in the second half of FY 2022-23. Growth was underpinned by strong investment activity bolstered by the governments capex push and buoyant private consumption, particularly among higher income earners. Inflation remained high, averaging around 6.7% in FY 2022-23 but the current account deficit narrowed in Q3 on the back of strong growth in service exports and easing global commodity prices.

4. FUTURE PROPSECTS AND OUTLOOK OF THE COMPANY:

The Indian economy is projected to grow by more than 6% in FY23 as per various institutional estimates, making it one of the fastest-growing economies. Indias growth journey could be the result of a culmination of favourable tailwinds like consistent agricultural performance, flattening of the COVID-19 infection curve, increase in government spending, reforms and an efficient roll-out of the vaccine, among others.

The Company witnessed an uptick in Hotel & Hospitality Sector compared to the year before. While we do expect the demand to catch up within the year, we believe the customers would expect relaxed holiday plans. We also expect some increase in customer outstanding owing to the pessimistic liquidity environment.

Leisure travel in India gathered momentum as Covid restrictions were eased. As the good market player, Country Club Hospitality & Holidays Limited has performed much better compared to the previous year. Occupancy has increased significantly and is now almost back to pre-Covid levels. At the same time, membership acquisitions has recovered from the previous year and the Company added significant room inventory in FY 2022-23.

This has been possible due to your Companys ability to leverage technology to drive business, its committed teams and a strong service culture. This allowed it to continue to reach-out to prospects, service members and swiftly restart and ramp-up operations after the restrictions were lifted. And, of course, the major factor has been the Country Club brand, which gives its members the confidence to travel and enjoy safe and immersive holiday experiences.

Your Company will focus on opportunistic growth avenues in current environment to create a healthy project pipeline across its markets. Fast turnaround deals shall be a specific focus area for new deals in F.Y 2023-2024. When evaluating new projects, the Company will continue to seek superior long-term growth in shareholder value by maximizing returns through optimal financing and fiscal discipline. The Company shall also enhance agility across its processes to further reduce project launch turnaround times. These shall provide your company with the competitive edge in operational excellence and customer experience respectively.

Country Club remains optimistic about the long-term sectorial direction. With a strong brand, Pan-India presence in Hyderabad, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Faridabad, Surat, Kolkata, Kochi, Lucknow, Bandipur, Kovalam, Kodaikanal, Jim Corbett, Goa, Chennai and Bengaluru, demonstrated track record and robust marketing capabilities, your Company is poised for a better growth trajectory comparing to the current year.
