Outlook

The Reserve Bank of India has forecasted that the Indian economy will grow by 7.2% in FY25, which is also reflected in the real estate sector. For 9M CY24, office leasing activity remained robust, with 53.8 msft of absorption compared to 37.5 msft of supply and a projected absorption of 71 msft by the end of this calendar year. This is a 29% y-o-y jump, with Bengaluru (16.4 msft), Delhi NCR (7.5 msft), and Hyderabad (7.3 msft) being the major contributors. India’s housing market sales of 225,350 units in 9M CY24 were driven by Mumbai (66,800), followed by Pune (43,450) and Bengaluru (33,400). Continued demand for homes and declining inventory shows the sector is expected to see continued momentum with significant launches in the coming quarters. We firmly believe Puravankara is well-positioned to capitalise on this growth and gain market share.

 

Tip Sheet

Upon transition to Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS), including Ind AS 115, the Company has moved from the erstwhile percentage of completion method of revenue recognition to a completed contract method of revenue recognition. As a result, revenue is no longer recognised rateably over the project execution period but is recognised upon completion of the project and delivery of flats to the customers. The aforementioned change in the timing of revenue recognition has significantly changed the periodical financial results.
