These favorable financial conditions have contributed to strengthening our bottom line and overall financial stability. Additionally, our successful Rs 343 crore raise through a preferential issue of equity shares and share warrants marks a pivotal milestone, providing growth capital to support key initiatives, including land acquisitions, working capital enhancement, general corporate purposes, and issuance-related expenses. This funding is essential to expanding our operational reach. We are committed to deploying these funds strategically to consolidate our standing in the residential and commercial real estate sectors, seize emerging opportunities, and deliver sustainable, long-term value to our stakeholders. Our optimism regarding the potential within the MMR region remains steadfast, and we look forward to capitalizing on its growth prospects in alignment with our vision for a robust and diversified portfolio.” Result PDF
