ECONOMIC REVIEW Global economy

World economy is expected to continue growing at 3.2% during 2024 and 2025, at the same pace as in 2023. A slight acceleration for advanced economies—where growth is expected to rise from 1.6% in 2023 to 1.7% in 2024 and 1.8% in 2025—will be offset by a modest slowdown in emerging market and developing economies from 4.3% in 2023 to 4.2% in both 2024 and 2025.

Inflation is forecast to decline steadily, from 6.8% in 2023 to 5.9% in 2024 and 4.5% in 2025, with advanced economies returning to their inflation targets sooner than emerging markets and developing economies. Core inflation is generally projected to decline more gradually. The global economy has been surprisingly resilient, despite significant central bank interest rate hikes to restore price stability.

Indian economy

IndiaRss economic performance has remained robust despite global challenges and geopolitical concerns. This can be attributed to strong domestic demand, rural demand pickup, robust investment and sustained manufacturing momentum. Despite the global challenges, India stands out with its strong economic performance, highlighting broad based growth across sectors and asserting its pivotal role in supporting the global growth trajectory.

The government and the RBIRss efforts to combat inflation, including calibrated policy rates, strengthening food buffers and easing imports, have ensured effective inflation management. Consequently, retail inflation in FY 2023-24 witnessed a significant decline, reaching its lowest level since the Covid-19 pandemic, with core inflation dropping to 3.3% in March 2024. Further, a predicted above-normal monsoon in 2024 bodes well for a good harvest, easing inflation concerns.

Slowing global trade, presents a challenging landscape for economies worldwide. Despite these headwinds, IndiaRss trade deficit is expected to decline in the coming years as the PLI scheme deepens its coverage and extends to other sectors. Driven by strong exports and resilient remittances, various international agencies and RBI expect the CAD to GDP ratio to have moderated below 1% in FY 2023-24.

Overall, India continues to be the fastest-growing major economy with positive assessments of the growth outlook for the current financial year, for India by international organisations and RBI.

INDUSTRY REVIEW

The Indian real estate sector is a key player in the nationRss economic development. With promising projections in market size, GDP contribution and employment generation, the sector stands as a beacon of growth and opportunity. Nurturing this growth requires a balanced approach, addressing challenges while embracing innovation, ultimately shaping a real estate landscape that is not just expansive but also sustainable.

by prevailing market conditions, the nature and location of the projects and other factors such as brand, 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 receiving 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, particularly in Mumbai. It includes amounts paid for freehold rights, leasehold rights, fungible FSI, construction cost of area given to landlords in consideration for development rights, registration and stamp duty. Your Company acquires land / l and 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 / l and development rights prior to entering into definitive agreements. The ensuing negotiations may result in either a transaction for the acquisition of the land / l and development rights or the Company getting a refund of the moneys advanced.

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

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.
