What changed in management language.

Q1-FY24 · Vivek Anand

Our net debt now stands reduced to the lowest ever at INR 57 crores. With these low levels of debt, we have almost achieved our commitment of being net zero and hopefully should end the year with a surplus cash position.

Q1-FY24 · Ashok Tyagi

We are right now in the second half of the year and already underway, looking at 3 projects in Gurugram... the GAV of all of these three projects will be higher than Mumbai. Individually.

Q1-FY24 · Aakash Ohri

I see this going up to about INR 1 lakh a square foot in no time, because it is going to jump now.

Q1-FY25 · Ashok Tyagi

Our pre-sales number was in the range of INR 6,400 crore, predominantly headlined by the extremely successful launch of Privana West.

tracked

Q1-FY25 · Ashok Tyagi

I think the most heartening number that really, you know, everybody should draw a lot of enthusiasm from, is the entire cash flow number, where really, if you see between our DLF and Cyber City numbers, together, we did in excess of INR 2,500 crore of free operating cash flow during the quarter.

Q1-FY25 · Aakash Ohri

Our intent has been to look at retail customers. Our intent has to has been over the last two years, we have deduped our list. Even if somebody is asking for two units, mostly, we say no.

Q1-FY26 · Aakash Ohri

Our overall sales booking for the development business stood at INR 11,435 crore, which reflects a year-over-year growth of almost 78%.

tracked

Q1-FY26 · Ashok Tyagi

Pre-sales is not a metric that we track. We track margins and cash flows, and pre-sales is a necessary fuel for that.

tracked

Q1-FY26 · Aakash Ohri

The reported rental for the current quarter for DLF Cyber City Developers Limited grew at almost 15% year-over-year and almost 12% sequentially.

tracked

Q2-FY24 · Vivek Anand

We have therefore delivered on our commitment to achieving a net debt zero position.

tracked

Q2-FY24 · Aakash Ohri

Camellias today is being referred as an India product. I think that is a bigger satisfaction than just reaching the INR 100 crore mark.

tracked

Q2-FY24 · Ashok Kumar Tyagi

What will bring us closer to a REIT is the performance of the other REITs and not the performance of Mr. Khattar.

tracked

Q2-FY25 · Ashok Tyagi

We are very confident of 17,000 crores. Let's see where it eventually lands.

Q2-FY25 · Aakash Ohri

Dahlias is going to be a paradise. You can dream whatever you want to. We are on our way to implement it.

tracked

Q2-FY25 · Ashok Tyagi

We will not, never be reckless on writing any checks for any geography, including NCR.

tracked

Q2-FY26 · Aakash Ohri

Our main focus has always been on margins, and you've seen the report, and we'd like to maintain that trajectory.

tracked

Q2-FY26 · Ashok Tyagi

We are a business which, frankly, does not position ourselves disproportionately on the depth of line of sight into how a particular quarter is looking or not looking, frankly. It's a long-cycle business.

tracked

Q2-FY26 · Aakash Ohri

Today, the demand for DLF is not geography-specific. I am getting responses from across the country.

tracked

Q3-FY24 · Vivek Anand

We recorded our highest quarterly sales booking of INR 9,047 crores, backed by multiple launches during the quarter.

tracked

Q3-FY24 · Vivek Anand

We have identified a fresh pipeline of new products of approximately 32 million sq ft, with the sales potential of approximately INR 79,000 crore, which is more than double of what we have delivered during the last three to four years.

tracked

Q3-FY24 · Aakash Ohri

I am seeing a major shift from 30-year onwards of this segment, which is now coming into the actual purchase of residential properties.

tracked

Q3-FY25 · Ashok Tyagi

I think the metric that should truly excite us is not the INR 11,800 crores of the pre-sales, but the fact that 8,000+ crores of pre-margin has been booked on account of the Dahlias sales.

tracked

Q3-FY25 · Ashok Tyagi

In all fairness, frankly, I wouldn't be lying to say that it sort of has also surpassed our own targets and vision that we had for the first quarter after its launch.

tracked

Q3-FY25 · Sriram Khattar

We realize that just reducing debt for the sake of reducing debt is not a good idea, especially for an annuity company.

tracked

Q3-FY26 · Badal Bagri

We are extremely pleased to report that we witnessed record gross collections of around INR 5,100 crores, with sustained collection efficiency across all our projects.

tracked

Q3-FY26 · Aakash Ohri

The Dahlias will continue to rise. Just to let you know, from the past year alone, there has already been a 25% increase in Dahlias pricing.

tracked

Q3-FY26 · Badal Bagri

I can launch at 10 million sq ft somewhere on the outskirts of Haryana or UP or Ghaziabad. That will add volume. That will add execution headache. Will it add cash flow? Will it add margin?

tracked

Q4-FY24 · Ashok Tyagi

Our pre-sales for the last year have again been in the vicinity of INR 15,000 crore, thus maintaining now two back-to-back years of a INR 14,500 crore-INR 15,000 crore sales level.

tracked

Q4-FY24 · Ashok Tyagi

We are clearly looking at a strong growth in the next fiscal and hopefully targeting a sales guidance of INR 17,000 crore for fiscal 2024-25.

tracked

Q4-FY24 · Aakash Ohri

We are not going to stop at 17. So should the traction for a super luxury product get better, we know... we are not going to hold back.

tracked

Q4-FY25 · Ashok Tyagi

Our sales, as you know, have been, I think, at highest ever of INR 21,000 crore plus.

tracked

Q4-FY25 · Ashok Tyagi

We have crossed over into the double-digit category, and hopefully, we'll keep on improving year to year on this piece.

tracked

Q4-FY25 · Sriram Khattar

The CapEx spent in RentCo... in FY 2026 and in FY 2027 will be in the ballpark of INR 5,000 crore.

tracked

Q4-FY26 · Ashok Tyagi

We are not going to chase the 35,000 and 30,000 numbers just for the heck of chasing them. If we have a great product, maybe we will achieve.

tracked

Q4-FY26 · Sriram Khattar

Our four to five year guidance remains intact that we will have mid teens growth in NOI and 20 to 25% growth on a CAGR basis for the next four to five years.

tracked

Q4-FY26 · Akash Ohri

Das is something far more superior than the Chamelias. If Chamelias has made a benchmark for the industry in the country, I think you'll all be very happy to see where the Das is heading to.
