The fact that this strong performance comes on the back of an equally strong base of the previous quarter as well as the same quarter in FY 21 showcases that the recovery in housing market has taken root and the multi-year up-cycle in housing market is well underway. We are witnessing strong demand across our portfolio and at all price points. On the supply side, consolidation is accelerating at a great pace creating a goldilocks situation for strong brands like us. The accelerating consolidation in the market has presented to us several lucrative opportunities to add new projects across MMR & Pune through the capital light JDA route. To capture these opportunities, the company successfully completed its maiden QIP offering and raised equity of INR 4,000 crores from marquee global and Indian institutional investors. During the quarter, the company signed on 6 more JDAs for ~4.8 million square feet with INR ~10,000 crores GDV. Since our IPO (April 21), we have now added 11 JDA project totaling for ~8.8 million square feet with GDV potential of INR ~14,600 crore, which gives us significant visibility of future growth. We are focused on this capital light growth model - delivering scale with a prudent balance sheet. Strong operating performance and robust free cash flow will enable us to continue our de-leveraging journey. Our UK business continues to perform ahead of expectations and we are pleased that the USD 225 million bond will be pre-paid in the near future from the sales at our One Grosvenor Square development, well ahead of the bond maturity. While Covid has affected India in January, it is heartening to note that the wave seems to be subsiding and global experts are envisaging that Covid-19, while endemic, is likely to become far less disruptive. If this plays out, we expect housing demand to further strengthen during the course of the next 12 months on the back of strength in the Indian economy and supportive government policies for housing. ” Result PDF
