MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

GLOBAL ECONOMY

The global economy is prepared for a robust trajectory of growth and resilience, as evidenced by recent key indicators. In FY23, advanced economies (AEs) experienced an impressive upswing with above-trend growth of 2.7%, surpassing the pre-pandemic five-year average of 2.1%. Moreover, coordinated efforts by central banks worldwide to tighten monetary policy are yielding positive outcomes, as inflation is returning to desired levels.

Notably, the global economys projected growth paints a promising picture. With a projected GDP growth rate of 2.6% in 2023, forecasted to further increase to 2.9% in 2024, the world economy is anticipated to exhibit increased resilience, building upon the strong show of stability demonstrated in 2022. Interestingly, emerging and developing economies are surpassing developed economies in various scenarios, with growth rates rising from 2.8% in Q4 2022 to 4.5% in Q4 2023.

INDIAN ECONOMY

India exhibited a rapid and robust domestic demand and a significant upswing in capital expenditure throughout the past year. India remains one of the fastest-growing economies globally. The growth trajectory has been propelled by strong investment activity, driven by both government capital expenditure and robust private consumption across various sectors. Indias resilience to external factors is evident through the continued growth in service exports and the narrowing of the current-account deficit.

Inflation is projected to decline to an average of 5.2% in the year 2024, supported by easing global commodity prices and some moderation in domestic demand. India is currently experiencing strong demand and an upsurge in capital investments. The Gross Value Added (GVA), which measures the value of goods and services produced, has steadily recovered, posting a 4.6% growth in the third quarter of the fiscal year 2023.

To promote capital expenditure (Capex) in crucial sectors like roads, railways, housing, and urban affairs, the government has introduced measures such as higher borrowing limits for State Governments. This initiative aims to incentivise State Governments to prioritise Capex spending. The anticipated result of this increased Capex is a positive impact on medium-term economic growth. By adopting a growth strategy centred around Capex, the government aims to maintain a favourable growth-interest rate differential for India and achieve sustainable debt-to-GDP ratios in the medium term.

INDIAN REAL ESTATE SECTOR

Indias real estate industry holds significant importance as the second largest employer after agriculture. Projections suggest that by 2030, the value of Indias real estate market could reach a staggering Rs.80 Trillion. Furthermore, it is estimated that by 2025, the real estate sector will contribute around 13% to the nations GDP. These optimistic prospects are primarily driven by the rapid pace of urbanisation, with an estimated 542.7 Million people expected to reside in urban areas by 2025, and a further increase to 675.5 Million by 2035.

Another noteworthy aspect is the construction sector, which ranks as the third-largest recipient of foreign direct investment (FDI) in India. From April 2000 to December 2022, the construction sector, including construction development and related activities, attracted approximately Rs.4,440 Billion in FDI inflow. The sector is poised for sustained growth, and the Indian governments "Housing for All" initiative is expected to play a significant role. As a result, the housing sector is anticipated to receive an investment of around Rs.104 Trillion by 2025.

INDIAN HOUSING MARKET

The housing market in India demonstrated remarkable strength during the first quarter of 2023, exhibiting notable trends and witnessing a surge in sales. A standout achievement was the unprecedented quarterly housing sales, surpassing previous records with over 113,770 units sold across the top 7 cities. This upswing in sales was primarily driven by the demand for high-value properties, priced above Rs.150 Lakhs, which recorded a substantial 14% year-on- year increase compared to Q1 2022, when approximately 99,550 units were sold.

Among the top cities, the MMR (Mumbai Metropolitan Region) accounted for more than 20% of the total sales, emphasising its significance in the market. Additionally, there was a significant annual growth of 23% in the number of new residential project launches across the top 7 cities, surpassing the milestone of 1 Lakhs units from 89,140 units in Q1 2022 to over 109,570 units in Q1 2023. This surge in new housing projects can be attributed to the unwavering aspiration for homeownership and the continuously escalating demand for housing.

To cater to the growing demand, prominent and listed developers have intensified their efforts to meet the expanding residential housing needs. The majority of new supply comprised mid-segment homes, priced between Rs.40 Lakhs and Rs.80 Lakhs, accounting for the largest share at 36%, followed by premium homes ( 80 Lakhs and Rs.150 Lakhs) at 24%, and affordable homes (less than Rs.40 Lakhs) at 18%.

MUMBAI REAL ESTATE

Mumbai, the largest real estate market in the country, is on the verge of a significant boom that will further amplify the ongoing surge in activity. Over the past five years, Mumbai has undergone a remarkable transformation, emerging as a vibrant centre of construction and development. The citys skyline has evolved continuously, with the implementation of major infrastructure projects such as the coastal road, metro trains, and the trans-harbour link. These ambitious initiatives have propelled the growth of commercial complexes, residential towers, and other architectural marvels, shaping the modern landscape of Mumbai. The cityscape itself is a testament to the dynamic progress and expansion that Mumbai continually embraces. As these infrastructure projects near completion, new micro markets are emerging in and around Mumbai, offering convenient commuting options and adding to the overall development of the real estate market. The rapid expansion of infrastructure not only enhances connectivity but also stimulates the growth of residential and commercial properties in these areas. This, in turn, fuels the upward trajectory of Mumbais real estate sector, attracting investors, developers, and homebuyers alike. With a multitude of opportunities emerging across the city, Mumbai presents a promising landscape for those seeking to invest or own properties, shaping a prosperous future for the real estate industry.

In March 2023 - a significant 62% of the market share for sales registration was for homes in the Western Suburbs. Properties in the Central Suburbs made up 25% of registrations, while Central Mumbai and South Mumbai contributed 6% and 7% respectively. In March 2023, the Mumbai city area under BMC jurisdiction witnessed a significant number of property sales registrations, reaching 13,151 units. This contributed over Rs.1,226 Crores to the state revenues, marking the highest collection in the past 10 years. Among the registered properties, 84% were residential and 16% were nonresidential. Despite the challenges posed by rising mortgage rates, the demand for property in Mumbai remained strong, driven by a robust consumer sentiment towards homeownership.

The average daily property registration in March 2023 was 424 units, making it the third-best March in the last decade, following March 2021. Despite a fifth repo rate hike of 25 basis points in February 2023, resulting in a cumulative increase of 250 basis points since May 2022, home buyers continued to show commitment towards purchasing residential properties. This commitment is evident in the registration numbers, highlighting the resilience of the Mumbai property market.

GROWTH ENGINES

Signature, Signia located at Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) has emerged as Mumbais new Central Business District, attracting both international and domestic financial institutions. Over the past decade, BKC has undergone significant development and remains a highly sought-after location. The demand for commercial space is expected to rise further due to ongoing infrastructure projects, such as the extension of the Santacruz Chembur Link Road, a flyover connecting BKC to the Bandra Worli Sea Link, along with the coastal road also being developed across the city and the upcoming Phase 3 of the Mumbai Metro. Furthermore, with the upcoming addition of commercial spaces in BKC, it is anticipated that the area will experience further growth and attract more businesses. BKC already houses renowned corporate offices, financial institutions, consulates, educational institutions, hotels, a variety of food and beverage outlets, and a hospital. However, the residential supply in BKC is limited, with only Sunteck Projects namely Signature Island, Signia Isles and Signia Pearl providing luxury housing options.
