DROPPED
Ashok Vihar launch expected by Q4 FY25

The Ashok Vihar project in NCR is delayed due to tree removal approvals, but management hopes to launch by Q4 FY25 if possible.

NEW RISK
Potential overheating in land prices

Land prices have risen sharply, and if property prices do not keep pace, project margins could compress. Management mitigates this by underwriting at current prices and targeting 20-25% IRR.

NEW RISK
Regulatory approval delays

Delays in obtaining approvals could push back launches and impact sales guidance. Management noted that approvals are generally on track but remain a constraint.

NEW RISK
Construction cost escalation

Construction outflows are expected to increase in H2 as projects progress, which could pressure cash flows if not managed efficiently.

NEW RISK
Dependence on NCR and Bengaluru markets

A significant portion of bookings comes from NCR and Bengaluru; any slowdown in these markets could impact overall performance.

RISK GONE
Approval delays in Mumbai and Pune due to elections

Upcoming elections in Maharashtra could delay project approvals in Mumbai and Pune, impacting launch timelines.

RISK GONE
Ashok Vihar launch delay

The Ashok Vihar project in NCR is delayed due to tree removal court cases, with no clear timeline. Management now expects launch by Q4 FY25 at best.

RISK GONE
Execution risk from rapid scale-up

The sharp increase in booking volume (8.99 msf in Q1) raises questions about delivery pace. Management has invested in execution capabilities but risks remain.

RISK GONE
Regulatory issues on Godrej Reserve and Chandigarh project

Godrej Reserve faces potential approval issues (though management says no notice received), and a 10-year-old Chandigarh project received a notice regarding OC revocation.
