Our efforts to build on the product offerings to cater to the diverse customer needs, supported higher volumes and improved realizations. We continue to see strong demand traction across projects and geographies, which is particularly encouraging given the interest rate hikes through the course of the year. This is reflected in new project launches, which accounted for approximately 51% of our pre-sale’s numbers for the financial year. Some projects, including Sound of Soul at our flagship township project at Life Republic, were fully sold out within one quarter of launch. I am delighted to share that our performance at Life Republic is reaching new highs as we closed the year with record sales of 1.76 million sq. ft. We also reported highest ever collections of Rs. 1,920 crores for the year, which was achieved on the back of timely project execution. Deliveries stood strong at ~3.3 mn sq. feet.”

Our business development goals are on track to create a strong pipeline of projects across geographies and as we look towards the future, I am confidence of our ability to deliver on our growth objectives and create sustained value for all stakeholders.”
