M.Z Summary of the primary business of our Company We are a real estate developer in India primarily focussing on plotted developments in the State of Tamil Nadu, particularly in and around Chennai. As part of our business, we acquire parcels of land and build basic infrastructure on the land, such as roads, power connections, sewage, water supply thereby converting it into developable land. Our plotted developments are divided into two (2) segments, namely (i) residential segment comprising development of residential plots; and (ii) industrial segment comprising development of large contiguous land to be used for industries. We develop and sell residential land plots mainly to homeowners for their construction of houses and villas. The sizes of our residential plots typically range from 600 square feet to 2,400 square feet, with price of individual plot ranging from ₹1,500 per square feet to ₹5,000 per square feet.
For further details, please see “Our Business” on page 138.

Internal Risks
1. Our business is dependent on the performance of, and the conditions affecting, the real estate markets in and around Chennai, Tamil Nadu. As of March 31, 2025, we did not have any Ongoing Projects in any other areas except in and around Chennai. Consequently, we are exposed to risks from economic, regulatory and other changes as well as natural disasters in and around Chennai, which in turn may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
Our real estate development activities are only located in and around Chennai, Tamil Nadu. As of March 31, 2025, we had 39 Completed Projects, 13 Ongoing Projects, 7 Upcoming Projects all of which are located in and around Chennai. In addition, all of our Land Reserves are located in and around Chennai. For further information on our projects and Land Reserves, please see “Our Business – Business Operations” and “Our Business – Our Land Reserves” on pages 143 and 150, respectively. As a result, our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition have been and will continue to be heavily dependent on the performance of, and the prevailing conditions affecting, the real estate markets in and around Chennai. The real estate markets in this region may be affected by various factors outside our control, including 32prevailing local and economic conditions, changes in the supply and demand for properties comparable to those we develop, changes in the applicable governmental regulations, demographic trends, employment and income levels and interest rates, among other factors. These factors may contribute to fluctuations in real estate prices and the availability of land in and around Chennai and may adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. These factors can also negatively affect the demand for the sale of plots, and valuation of plots, in our Ongoing Projects and Upcoming Projects.
The table below sets forth details of the number of ongoing projects in Chennai and the revenue contribution as of the dates indicated.
Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023 Ongoing Percentage No of Percentage No of Percentage No of Projects Amount of Revenue Projects Amount of Revenue Projects Amount of Revenue Projects - Region (₹ in from (₹ in from (₹ in from million) Operations million) Operations million) Operations (%) (%) (%) Chennai 908.61 58.00% 11 1,326.00 85.00% 8 879.87 93.00% 11 – B2C Chennai 657.96 42.00% 4 234.00 15.00% 2 66.23 7.00% 2 – B2B Further, real estate projects take a substantial amount of time to develop. The price at which we acquire land, either through an outright purchase or through acquisition of development rights, and the price at which we sell plots in Ongoing Projects and Upcoming Projects are determined by factors mentioned above, which are out of our control. In the event we are forced to sell our plots in Ongoing Projects and Upcoming Projects at a price which is lower than estimated, it may adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Further, the real estate market, both for land and developed properties is relatively illiquid, which may limit our ability to respond promptly to changing market events. In the event the market conditions deteriorate and cause a sharp decline in real estate prices in Chenna, our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition could be materially and adversely impacted.
Additionally, we have unsold area in our Ongoing Projects. As of March 31, 2025, total saleable area of our Ongoing Projects is 69,491,297 square feet, comprising of unsold area aggregating to 4,398,149 square feet. If we are not able to sell our project inventories in a timely manner, our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition may be adversely affected.
2. Inability to complete our Upcoming Projects by their respective expected completion dates or at all could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
As of March 31, 2025, we had 7 Upcoming Projects with a Total Saleable Area of 10,592,132 square feet. Our ability to complete infrastructure development works within the estimated time or at all is subject to a number of risks and unforeseen events, including, without limitation, any changes in applicable regulations, availability of adequate financing arrangements on commercially viable terms, and an inability or delay in securing necessary statutory or regulatory approvals for such projects or revision of such statutory or regulatory approval for our ongoing projects. If there are any revisions made to the existing plans, approvals, permits or licenses granted for our Upcoming Projects by relevant authorities, then we may, as a result of such revisions, be required to undertake unplanned rework. We have not faced any instances in Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023, where there has been delay in completion of the projects and for such instances we paid penalty to any persons. However, if any of the foregoing risks materialize, we may not be able to complete our projects or develop our Upcoming Projects in the manner we currently contemplate, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
3. Our residential and industrial development projects have long gestation periods and any delays and cost overruns in relation to our Upcoming Projects could adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
It may take a considerable period of time, following the acquisition of land and the land is fully developed to be ready for sale before income or positive cash flows can be generated through the sale of plots in a residential or industrial real estate development project. Real estate development projects take a substantial amount of time to develop, and we could incur losses if we purchase land during periods when land prices are high and sell our developed properties when property prices are relatively lower. Additionally, there could be delays and cost overruns in relation to our Upcoming Projects and we cannot assure that we will be able to complete these projects within the expected budgets and time schedules. The RERA was implemented in 2017 to regulate the real estate industry and to ensure, amongst others, imposition of certain responsibilities on real estate developers and accountability towards customers and protection of their interest and has imposed certain obligations on real estate developers, including us, such as mandatory registration of real estate projects, 33not issuing any advertisements or accepting advances unless real estate projects are registered under RERA, maintenance of a separate escrow account for amounts realised from each real estate project and restrictions on withdrawal of amounts from such escrow accounts and taking customer approval for major changes in sanction plan. During the period that our projects are developed, there can be changes to the national, state and local business climate and regulatory environment, local real estate market conditions, perceptions of prospective customers with respect to the convenience and attractiveness of the project and changes with respect to competition from other property developments. Changes to the business environment during such time may affect the costs and revenues associated with the project and may ultimately affect the profitability of a project. Although, there have been no instances of delays and/or cost overruns in relation to our projects in Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023 that have had a material impact on our business, results operations, cash flows or financial condition, there can be no assurance that such instances will not occur in future. If any of such changes occur during the time it takes to complete a certain project, it can lead to delays and cost overruns. As a result, our return on such project may be lower than expected which could adversely affect our prospects, results of operations and financial condition.
It may take 18 months following the acquisition of land before that the land is fully developed to be ready for sale before income or positive cash flows can be generated through the sale of plots in a real estate development project. The risk of owning undeveloped land, developed land and inventories can be substantial as the market value of land and inventories can change significantly as a result of changing economic and market conditions. There is a significant time gap between our acquisition of land development to the land and sale of our projects, during which, deviations if any, could have a material adverse effect due to, among other things, changes to the national, state and local business climate and regulatory environment, local real estate market conditions, perceptions of prospective customers with respect to the convenience and attractiveness of our properties, and changes with respect to competition from other property developments. Since our real estate investments are relatively illiquid, our ability to mitigate the risk of any market fluctuations is limited. We could be adversely affected if the market conditions deteriorate or if we purchase land or inventories at higher prices during stronger economic periods and the value of the land or the inventories subsequently declines during weaker economic periods. We cannot assure that real estate market cyclicality will not continue to affect the Indian real estate market in the future. As a result, we may experience fluctuations in property values over time which in turn may adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
4. The industry in which we operate is competitive and highly fragmented resulting in increased competition that may adversely affect our results.
Due to the lesser requirements of technical expertise in the real estate development sector as it relates to land plots as opposed to the industrial/ infrastructure construction sector, the real estate development sector may invite new entrants along with existing players from whom we face competition. These new and existing players undertake projects and may undertake future projects) in Chennai and Tamil Nadu where our projects are located. Given the fragmented nature of the real estate development industry, we often do not have adequate information about the property our competitors are developing and accordingly, run the risk of underestimating supply in the market. Our inability to compete successfully in our industry with the new entrants or the existing players may materially affect our business prospects and financial condition.
Further, we compete for land, sale of projects, manpower resources and skilled personnel with other developers. Some of our competitors may have greater resources (including financial, land resources, and other types of infrastructure) to take advantage of efficiencies created by size, and access to capital at lower costs, have a better brand recall, and established relationships with homeowners.
Our success in the future will depend significantly on our ability to maintain and increase market share in the face of such competition. Our inability to compete successfully with the existing players in the industry, may affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
5. We may not be able to successfully identify and acquire suitable land, which may affect our business and growth prospects.
Our ability to identify suitable parcels of land for development is a vital element of growing our business and involves certain risks, including identifying land with clean title and at locations that are preferred by our target customers. We have an internal assessment process for land selection and acquisition, which includes a due diligence exercise to assess the title of the land and its suitability for development and marketability. Our internal assessment process is based on information that is available or accessible to us. We cannot assure you that such information is accurate, complete or current, and any decision based on inaccurate, incomplete or outdated information may result in certain risks and liabilities associated with the acquisition of such land which could adversely affect our business and growth prospects.
We acquire parcels of land at various locations in and around Chennai and other areas in Tamil Nadu, upon which we can undertake development. In connection with the acquisition of land, disputes may arise between the local government and residents as to the applicable compensation payable or residents may refuse to relocate. Such disputes could delay the resettlement process and the land acquisition and development rights. We cannot assure you that such disputes would be resolved in a timely manner or at all. Additionally, we may be asked to pay premium amounts for acquiring certain large 34parcels of land. In certain instances, the payment consideration for land acquisition is on a deferred basis, which may be pending in certain cases. If we are unable to make the deferred payment consideration on time, or at all, on our current land reserves or future land reserves, it may result in disputes and ultimately affect our ability to develop such land and may also result in a failure to realize profit on our initial investment.
In addition, due to the increased demand for land in connection with the development of residential and industrial properties, we may experience increased competition in our attempt to acquire land in the geographical areas in which we operate and the areas in which we anticipate operating in the future. For example, the supply of land in and around Chennai is limited and acquisition of new land or acquisition of development rights in and around Chennai also poses substantial challenges and is highly competitive. Increased competition may result in a shortage of suitable land that can be used for development and can increase the price of land. We may not be able to or may decide not to acquire parcels of land due to various factors, such as the price of land.
Moreover, the availability of land, as well as its use and development, is subject to regulations by various local authorities.
Further, certain land parcels can be subject to reservations, including reservations for road widening amongst others, and accordingly, such reserved areas will be deducted from the developable area. Further, certain areas may fall under eco- sensitive or buffer or green zone or coastal regulation zone etc., and due to such zoning, there may be restrictions on carrying out developmental activities in accordance with the applicable development regulations. For more information, see “Key Regulations and Policies in India” beginning on page 156. We may also be required by applicable laws or court orders to incur expenditures and undertake activities in addition to real estate development on certain portions of our land reserves.
Accordingly, our inability to acquire parcels of land or any restrictions on use of our land or development thereof may adversely affect our business and growth prospects.
Failure to acquire such parcels of land may cause a delay or force us to abandon or modify our development or re- development of land that we have acquired at a certain location, which may result in a failure to realize profit on our initial investment. Further, due to the increased demand for land in connection with the development of residential properties, we may experience increased competition in our attempt to acquire land in the geographical areas in which we operate. This may result in a shortage of suitable land that can be used for development or redevelopment and can increase the price of land. Additionally, we may be asked to pay premium amounts for acquiring certain large parcels of land. Therefore, we may not be able to or may decide not to acquire parcels of land due to the various aforementioned factors. If we experience delay in or are unable to acquire the remaining undivided rights from other co-owners, we may not be able to develop such land.
Accordingly, our inability to acquire parcels of land may adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
6. In the event that we are unable to acquire lands for which we have entered into agreements for purchase or similar arrangements, or such agreements are held to be invalid or expire, we may not be able to acquire the land and may also lose advances paid towards acquisition of such lands.
As part of our land or development rights acquisition process, we enter into agreements for purchase or similar arrangements with third parties prior to the transfer or conveyance of title to parcels of land to ensure that the sellers of the land satisfy certain conditions within the stipulated time frame specified under these agreements. For instance, the owners of the land may be required to provide to us all of the original deeds and documents in relation to the land. Upon entering into such arrangements, we are required to pay these landowners certain advances towards the purchase of the lands. These arrangements also provide that the lands must be conveyed in our favour within a prescribed period of time. In the event that we are not able to acquire the lands covered by these arrangements, we may not be able to recover all, or part of the advance monies related to these lands. Further, in the event that these arrangements are either invalid or have expired, we may lose the right to acquire these lands and also may not be able to recover the advances made in relation to the land. Also, any indecisiveness or delay on our part to perform our obligations under these arrangements may jeopardize our ability to acquire these lands before these agreements expire. Additionally, any failure to renew any of these arrangements on similar terms or recover the advanced monies from the relevant counterparties following the expiration of the initial term of such agreement could adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
Although neither our agreements for purchase land or similar arrangements with third parties nor our title to parcels title to land or developments rights have been challenged in Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 or Fiscal 2023, we cannot assure you that our agreements for purchase land or similar arrangements with third parties our title to land or developments rights will not be challenged in the future. Further, we cannot assure you that such lands or development rights will be conveyed to us, that we will be successful in acquiring them or that we will be successful in registering them in our name or in the name of any of our Subsidiaries.
7. Problems pertaining to clearance of encroachment or getting possession from existing tenants especially in case of redevelopment projects could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
We may be required to incur additional costs and may face delays in our project development schedule in order to clear such 35encroachments. Disputes relating to land title can take several years and considerable expense to resolve if they become the subject of legal proceedings and their outcome can be uncertain. If we are unable to resolve these disputes, the title to and/ or interest in, such land may be affected. While we have not experienced any instances of faulty or disputed title, unregistered encumbrances or adverse possession rights in the past which has adversely impacted our financial results, an inability to obtain good title to any plot of land may adversely affect the development of a project for which such plot of land is critical, and this may result in the write-off of expenses incurred in relation to such development. As a result, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
8. We are subject to credit and performance risk from third-party contractors that assist us on our projects. If our contractors fail to perform as required under our agreements with them our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition may be adversely affected.
Our land development after we acquire a plot is comprised of levelling, fencing, laying roads and utilities, which are done by third party contractors. Although there have been no incidents during Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023, if such third- party contractors do not perform their obligations, or if they deliver any of their services that do not comply with the specified quality standards and technical specifications, it may result in our inability to meet project schedules or breaches of our warranties to future purchasers of the plot. Third-party contractors are generally subject to liquidated damages for failures to achieve timely completion or for performance shortfalls. Liquidated damages payable under third-party contracts are generally limited to a specified amount or a percentage of the contract price or the annual fees payable. As a result, the liquidated damages recovered from defaulting contractors may not be sufficient to cover our losses, which could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
9. We experience difficulties in expanding our business into additional geographical markets which may contribute to fluctuations in our results of operations and financial condition.
We may also experience difficulties in expanding our business into additional geographical markets. While in and around Chennai and other parts of Tamil Nadu are expected to remain our primary strategic focus, we also evaluate attractive growth opportunities in various other markets on a case-by-case basis. We may not be able to leverage our experience in existing markets to expand our operations in other regions or into other cities, should we decide to further expand our operations. Factors such as competition, culture, regulatory regimes, business practices and customs, customer tastes, behaviour and preferences in these regions where we may plan to expand our operations may differ from those in the micro markets where we are currently present, and our experience in such micro markets may not be applicable to other regions. In addition, as we enter new regions, we are likely to compete not only with national developers, but also local developers who have an established local presence, are more familiar with local regulations, business practices and customs, have stronger relationships with local contractors, suppliers, relevant government authorities, and who have access to existing land reserves or are in a stronger financial position than us, all of which may give them a competitive advantage over us.
If we plan to expand our geographical footprint, our business will be exposed to various additional challenges, including adjusting our construction methods to different terrains; obtaining necessary governmental approvals and building permits under unfamiliar regulatory regimes; identifying and collaborating with local business partners, construction contractors and suppliers with whom we may have no previous working relationship; successfully gauging market conditions in local real estate markets with which we have no previous familiarity; attracting potential customers in a market in which we do not have significant experience or visibility or brand recognition; being susceptible to local taxation in additional geographical areas of India; and adapting our marketing strategy. Our inability to expand into other areas may adversely affect our business results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
10. Our inability to collect payments from our customers could result in the reduction of our profits and affect our cash flows.
At the time of the booking of plots at our various projects, our customers pay us a booking amount, which is usually a small portion of the entire consideration. Upon the receipt of such booking amount, we book the plot in favour of the customer, and the customer remains obligated to make total payments of the entire consideration. The period between booking and when the remaining consideration is due is approximately 90 days or less. In the event of a defaulting customer, we retain the right to forfeit the sale and retain the booking amount (which is a token advance). Although, there have not been any instances of defaulting customers in the past, there can be no assurance that such instances will not occur in future.
Further, we have not experienced delays in payments by of our customers (including industrial customers) in the past. This is because the entire consideration that is required to be paid by the customer must be made before transfer of the plot to the customer.
The table set forth below sets forth our trade receivables in the periods indicated. We have had nil bad debts written off or disputed trade receivables in Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023.
36Particulars Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023 Trade receivables (Millions) 1.80 18.86 10.39 Bad debts written off 0 0 0 Disputed trade receivables – which have significant increase in credit 0 0 0 risk The following table sets forth the age of our receivables by period indicated.

Although, there have not been any instances in in Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023, economic conditions could also result in financial difficulties, including insolvency or bankruptcy, for our major customers, and as a result could cause customers to delay payments to us, request modifications to their payment arrangements, that could increase our receivables or affect our working capital requirements, or default on their payment obligations to us. An increase in bad debts or in defaults by our customers, may compel us to utilize greater amounts of our operating working capital and result in increased interest costs, thereby adversely affecting our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
11. Our success largely depends upon the knowledge and experience of our Promoter, Vijay Surana, Directors, Key Managerial Personnel, and Senior Management Personnel as well as our ability to attract and retain personnel with technical expertise. Our inability to retain our Promoters, Directors, Key Managerial Personnel and Senior Management Personnel or our ability to attract and retain other personnel with technical expertise could adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
We depend on the management skills and guidance of our Promoter, Vijay Surana J, and our Board of Directors for development of business strategies, monitoring their successful implementation and meeting future challenges. Further, we also significantly depend on the expertise, experience and continued efforts of our Key Managerial Personnel and Senior Management Personnel. Any loss of our Promoter, Vijay Surana J, Directors, Key Managerial Personnel and Senior Management Personnel or our ability to attract and retain them and other skilled personnel could adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Our future performance will depend largely on our ability to retain the continued service of our management team. If one or more of our Key Managerial Personnel or Senior Management Personnel are unable or unwilling to continue in his or her present position, it could be difficult for us to find a suitable or timely replacement and our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition could be adversely affected.
In addition, we may require a long period of time to hire and train replacement personnel when personnel with technical expertise terminate their employment with us. We may also be required to increase our levels of employee compensation more rapidly than in the past to remain competitive in attracting and retaining personnel with technical expertise that our business requires. The loss of the services of such persons could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
While these positions have been appropriately filled and we have not faced any impact due to the resignations, we cannot assure that future resignations will not have any impact our business or operations.
In addition, we may require a long period of time to hire and train replacement personnel when personnel with technical expertise terminate their employment with us. We may also be required to increase our levels of employee compensation more rapidly than in the past to remain competitive in attracting and retaining personnel with technical expertise that our business requires. The loss of the services of such persons could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Our attrition rate for our employees in Fiscal 2025 was 5.74%. While these positions have been appropriately filled and we have not faced any impact due to the resignations, we cannot assure that future resignations will not have any impact our business or operations.
There is significant competition for management and other skilled personnel in the housing development industry in which we operate, and it may be difficult to attract and retain the personnel we require in the future. There can be no assurance that our competitors will not offer better compensation packages, incentives and other perquisites to such skilled personnel.
Further, as on the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we do not have key man insurance policies. If we are not able 37to attract and retain talented employees as required for conducting our business, or if we experience high attrition levels which are largely out of our control, or if we are unable to motivate and retain existing employees, our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition may be adversely affected. For further information, please see “Our Management” on page 177.
12. Our Company has applied for the registration of the trademark in relation to our Company’s logo. Until such registration is granted, we may not be able to prevent unauthorised use of such trademarks by third parties, which may lead to the dilution of our goodwill and adversely affect our business. If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights, our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition may be adversely affected.
As on date of the Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we have made a new trademark registration application dated May 20, 2025, under class 36 for our Company’s logo, with the Registrar of Trademarks in India under the Trade Marks Act, 1999. There can be no assurance that our trademark applications will be accepted. Pending the registration of this trademark, we may have a lesser recourse to initiate legal proceedings to protect our private label. However, we may have to incur additional cost in relation to this. In the event we are not able to obtain registrations due to opposition by third parties or if any injunctive or other adverse order is issued against us in respect of any of our trademarks for which we have applied for registration, we may not be able to avail the legal protection or prevent unauthorised use of such trademarks by third parties, which may adversely affect our goodwill and business.
While our agreements with our employees and consultants include confidentiality provisions and provisions on ownership of intellectual property developed during employment or specific assignments, as applicable, these agreements may not effectively prevent unauthorized use or disclosure of our confidential information and intellectual property and may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure of our confidential information or infringement of our intellectual property. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may copy aspects of our confidential information that we consider proprietary. In addition, unauthorized parties may also attempt, or successfully endeavour, to obtain our intellectual property, confidential information, and trade secrets through various methods, including through cybersecurity attacks, and legal or other methods of protecting this data may be inadequate. In addition, our trade secrets may become known or independently developed by our competitors, and in such cases, we may no longer be able to maintain the confidentiality of such information.
Although no such proceedings have been initiated during Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023, we may need to litigate to protect our intellectual property or to defend against third party infringement. Any such litigation could be time consuming and costly, and the outcome cannot be guaranteed. We may not be able to detect any unauthorised use or take appropriate and timely steps to enforce or protect our intellectual property. Any inability to use or protect our intellectual property could affect our relationships with our customers, which could materially and adversely affect our brand, business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
In addition, we may become subject to claims by third parties if we use slogans, names, designs, software or other such subjects in breach of any intellectual property rights registered by such third party. Any legal proceedings pursuant to such claims, or settlements thereunder, may divert management attention and require us to pay financial compensation to such third parties, as well as compel us to change our marketing strategies or brand names of our products and services, which could adversely affect our business, results of operation and financial condition.
13. We have incurred indebtedness, and an inability to comply with repayment and other covenants in our financing agreements could adversely affect our business and financial condition.
As at March 31, 2025, we had aggregate outstanding borrowings (including current maturities of long-term borrowings) of ₹1,232.08 million, all of which secured borrowings. The table below sets forth certain information on our total borrowings, finance cost and debt service coverage ratio as at the dates indicated.
Particulars As at March 31, 2025 As at March 31, 2024 As at March 31, 2023 Total Borrowings (1) (₹ in million) 1,232.08 928.02 1,307.51 Finance Costs (₹ in million) 82.81 70.04 29.20 Debt service coverage ratio (3) 2.98 1.05 1.48
(1) Total borrowing is calculated as the sum of current and non-current borrowings.
(2) Debt service coverage ratio is calculated as earnings available before debt service divided by finance costs and principal repayment.
All of our borrowings are secured, inter alia, through a charge by way of hypothecation on our entire current assets, and, in case of our term loans, on fixed assets that includes land in favour of lenders. For further details, please see “Financial Indebtedness” on page 293, “Restated Consolidated Financial Information – Annexure 21 – Statement of Borrowings as restated” on page 206 and “Restated Consolidated Financial Information – Annexure 24 – Statement of Current Borrowings as restated” on page 206. As most of these secured assets pertain to our land and development projects, our rights in respect of transferring or disposing of these assets are restricted. In the event we fail to service our debt obligations, the lenders have the right to enforce the security in respect of our secured borrowings and dispose of our assets to recover the amounts due from us 38which in turn may compel us to cease development activities which would adversely affect our business, results operations, cash flows and financial condition.
Furthermore, our loan agreements with our lenders also contain certain negative covenants, including but not limited to, effecting any change in ownership, control, constitution and operating structure capital structure or shareholding pattern and/or management of our Company, any amendment in the constitutional documents, and restrictions on fund raising.
Any failure on our part to comply with these terms in our financing agreements including the security agreements would generally result in events of default under these financing agreements. In such a case, the lenders under each of these respective loan agreements may, at their discretion, accelerate payment and declare the entire outstanding amounts under these loans due and payable, and in certain instances, enforce their security which has been constituted.
14. We have substantial working capital requirements and expect to require additional financing to meet those requirements, which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
We have substantial working capital requirements for our real estate development business. Historically, we have funded our working capital requirements through a combination of external borrowing, internal accruals and equity.
As we intend to pursue a strategy of continued investment in our housing development activities, we will require additional working capital in the current and future fiscal periods. We propose to fund such working capital requirements through a combination of debt, equity and internal accruals. Our ability to borrow and the terms of our borrowings will depend on our financial condition, the stability of our cash flows and our capacity to service debt in a rising interest rate environment. The actual amount and timing of our future working capital requirements may also differ from estimates as a result of, among other things, unforeseen delays or cost overruns in developing our projects, change in business plans due to prevailing economic conditions, unanticipated expenses, regulatory changes and layout design changes. To the extent our planned expenditure requirements exceed our available resources, we will be required to seek additional debt or equity financing. We may also have difficulty accessing capital markets, which may make it more difficult or expensive to obtain financing in the future.
If we decide to raise additional funds through the incurrence of debt, our interest and debt repayment obligations will increase, and could have a significant effect on our profitability and cash flows and we may be subject to additional covenants, which could limit our ability to access cash flows from operations. Any issuance of equity upon conversion of debt, on the other hand, would result in a dilution of your shareholding. For details in relation to the terms of our existing financing arrangements, please see “Financial Indebtedness” on page 293.
15. It is difficult to compare our performance between periods, as our revenues from operations and expenses fluctuate significantly from period to period.
Our income across time periods may fluctuate significantly due to a variety of factors, including the size and number of our development projects, execution of agreements and/or contracts with buyers and general market conditions. Variation of project timelines due to project delays and estimates may also have an adverse effect on our ability to recognize revenue in a particular period. As a result of one or more of these factors, we may record significant revenue from operations or profits during one accounting period and significantly lower revenue from operations or profits during prior or subsequent accounting periods.
We recognize revenue based on the fulfilment of performance obligations as set out in the contracts with our customers, which is further described in Annexure 31 (Statement of Revenue from Operations as restated) of our Restated Consolidated Financial Information. The estimate of costs is reviewed periodically by our management, and any effect of changes therein is recognized in the period in which changes are determined. Our cost estimates are affected by, among other things, volatility in expenses comprising the costs of acquisition of land, costs in relation to regulatory approvals and premiums, and finance costs. Such changes may in turn affect the profit recognized during the same fiscal year. Further, the periods discussed in our financial statements included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus may not be comparable to future periods, and our results of operations and cash flows may vary significantly from period to period, year to year and over time.
16. Our contingent liabilities could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
The following table sets forth certain information relating to our contingent liabilities, to the extent not provided for, as at March 31, 2025, March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, as per the Restated Consolidated Financial Information:
(₹ in million) As at As at As at March 31, 2025 March 31, 2024 March 31, 2023 Disputed Income tax demands not 1.81 1.81 1.81
provided for Total 1.81 1.81 1.81 39For details, please see “Restated Consolidated Financial Information – Annexure 40 – Statement of Contingent Liability as restated” on page 206.
Most of the liabilities have been incurred in the normal course of business. If these contingent liabilities were to fully materialize or materialize at a level higher than we expect, it may materially and adversely impact our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
17. We may not have sufficient insurance coverage to cover our economic losses as well as certain other risks, not covered in our insurance policies, which could adversely affect business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
Our insurance cover as of March 31, 2025 for project insurance as part of the vehicle insurance policy, and all risk insurance policy was ₹ 30.84 million and work-in-progress including land cost, vehicle and plant and machinery cost was ₹ 30.84 million as of March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2025, our project insurance cover as a percentage of work-in-progress including land cost was 100.00%. We have not experienced any instances of where claims have exceeded insurance cover in Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 or Fiscal 2023.
The table below sets forth particulars of our insurance coverage as at the dates indicated.
Particulars As at March 31, 2025 As at March 31, 2024 As at March 31, 2023 Insured Assets (₹ million) 30.84 19.55 15.64 Insured Assets as % of fixed assets 53.50% 46.50% 25.32% Insured losses (1) 0 0 0
(1) In Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 or Fiscal 2023, we have not had any instances of claims that have exceeded liability insurance coverage.
Our real estate projects could suffer physical damage from flood other causes, resulting in losses which may not be fully covered by our insurance policies. Although there have been no incidents or claims in the past due to earthquakes, floods, other natural disasters, terrorism or acts of war, there are certain types of losses, such as those due to earthquakes, floods, other natural disasters, terrorism or acts of war, which may not be insurable at a reasonable premium. The proceeds of any insurance claim with respect to insurance that either we or our contractors have taken may be insufficient to cover any expenses faced by us a result of changes in environmental issues as well as other factors. Should an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occur, we may lose the capital invested in and the anticipated revenue from the affected property. We could also remain liable for any debt or other financial obligation related to that property. We cannot assure you that losses in excess of insurance proceeds will not occur in the future. In addition, any payments we make to cover any uninsured loss may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. If we suffer any losses, damages and liabilities in the course of our operations and real estate development, we may not have sufficient insurance or funds to cover any such losses.
We have not taken insurance to protect against all risk and liabilities. For example, we do not have key man insurance.
Further, our insurance coverage expires from time to time. We apply for the renewal of our insurance coverage in the normal course of our business. While none of our insurance policies are due for renewal as of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we cannot assure you that such renewals in the future (on expiry) will be granted in a timely manner, at acceptable cost or at all.
18. We have experienced negative cash flows in the last three fiscal years.
We have experienced negative cash flows in the recent past. The following table summarizes our cash flows for Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023, as per the Restated Consolidated Financial Information:
(in ₹ millions) Particulars For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 2024 2023 Profit before tax 1,143.26 787.34 413.33 Cash flow before working capital changes 1049.60 782.64 443.06 Working Capital Changes (1,408.39) 801.96 (895.99) Income Taxes Paid 285.92 190.52 103.49 Net cash from/(used in) operating activities (644.71) 1,394.07 (556.43) Net cash from/(used in) investing activities 289.60 (794.15) (26.95) Net cash (used in)/from financing activities 229.11 (454.43) 576.62 Net (decrease)/ increase in cash and cash equivalents (126.00) 145.49 (6.75) Cash and cash equivalents at the beginning of the period/year 158.10 12.61 19.36 Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period/year 32.10 158.10 12.61 40Any negative cash flows in the future could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. For further details, please see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of our Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Cash Flows” on page 287.
19. If we are unable to establish and maintain an effective internal controls and compliance system, our business and reputation could be adversely affected.
We are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal measures commensurate with the size and complexity of operations. Our internal audit functions make an evaluation of the adequacy and effectiveness of internal systems on an ongoing basis so that our operations adhere to our policies, compliance requirements and internal guidelines. We periodically test and update our internal processes and systems and there have been no past material instances of failure to maintain effective internal controls and compliance system. However, we are exposed to operational risks arising from the potential inadequacy or failure of internal processes or systems, and our actions may not be sufficient to ensure effective internal checks and balances in all circumstances.
We take reasonable steps to maintain appropriate procedures for compliance and disclosure and to maintain effective internal controls over our financial reporting so that we produce reliable financial reports and prevent financial fraud. As risks evolve and develop, internal controls must be reviewed on an ongoing basis. Maintaining such internal controls requires human diligence and compliance and is therefore subject to lapses in judgment and failures that result from human error.
Further, our operations are subject to anti-corruption laws and regulations. These laws generally prohibit us and our employees and intermediaries from bribing, being bribed or making other prohibited payments to government officials or other persons to obtain or retain business or gain some other business advantage. We participate in collaborations and relationships with third parties whose actions could potentially subject us to liability under these laws or other local anti- corruption laws. While our code of conduct requires our employees and intermediaries to comply with all applicable laws, and we continue to enhance our policies and procedures in an effort to ensure compliance with applicable anti-corruption laws and regulations, these measures may not prevent the breach of such anti-corruption laws, as there are risks of such breaches in emerging markets, such as India. If we are not in compliance with applicable anti-corruption laws, we may be subject to criminal and civil penalties, disgorgement and other sanctions and remedial measures, and legal expenses, which could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Likewise, any investigation of any potential violations of anti-corruption laws by the relevant authorities could also have an adverse impact on our business and reputation.
20. As of March 31, 2025, we had 7 Upcoming Projects which are in the preliminary stages of planning and require approvals and renewals of certain approvals from the regulatory authorities in and around Chennai for our projects. Any difficulties in fulfilling certain conditions precedent in respect of those projects, and any delay or failure to obtain required approvals may require us to reschedule our Upcoming Projects which may have adverse effect on our operations. Further, our Company would need to stop the land development activity in the event of withdrawal of such licenses/approval.
As of March 31, 2025, we had 7 Upcoming Projects. We (and in certain cases, the third parties developing the relevant real estate project pursuant to arrangements with us) are required to obtain statutory and regulatory approvals, licenses or permits at various stages in the development of our projects, including, requisite change of land use approvals, environmental approvals, fire safety clearances, and commencement, completion certificates from relevant Governmental authorities. Some of our Upcoming Projects are in the preliminary stages of planning and development and we are yet to apply for certain approvals in order to commence the development of such projects. Please see “Government and Other Approvals – Material approvals required but not obtained or applied for” on page 302.
Our development plans in relation to our Upcoming Projects are yet to be finalized and approved. To successfully execute each of these projects, we are required to obtain statutory and regulatory approvals and permits for which applications need to be made to the concerned authority at appropriate stages of the projects. For example, we are required to obtain the approval of layout plans, environmental consents and fire safety clearances for each of our projects. The following table sets forth the key approvals, which are in the nature of operational licenses, which are outstanding for our Upcoming Projects.
Name of entity Project name Issuing Authority Status of the Approval WPPL Home Land 124 Phase III Panchayat Union In Process GHPL Saar Grand Magnum City Phase III DTCP In Process Any delay or failure to obtain the required approvals in accordance with our plans may adversely affect our ability to implement our Upcoming Projects which may adversely affect our business and prospects. Moreover, we may encounter material difficulties in fulfilling any conditions precedent to the approvals such as failure to obtain a certificate of change of land use in respect of lands designated for purposes other than real estate development. In addition, we would be required to stop land development activity in the event of withdrawal of such licenses or approvals.
41Further, we may not be able to adapt to new laws, regulations or policies that may come into effect from time to time with respect to the real estate industry in general or the particular processes with respect to the granting of approvals or renewals, which may cause a delay in the implementation of our projects. For instance, if there is a change in the approved land use in urban master plan areas, we may be required to obtain new consents for the use of our land and any failure on our part to obtain such consents may adversely affect our business and results of operation. For details regarding the pending material approvals of our Company, please see “Government and Other Approvals” on page 300.
We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain approvals in relation to our new projects, at such times or in such form as we may require, or at all. The laws and regulations, under which we and our contractors operate, may result in delays or stoppage in land development, causing us to incur substantial compliance costs and other increased costs, and prohibit or severely restrict our real estate businesses. If we are unable to continue to acquire, construct and develop land as a result of these restrictions or if our compliance costs increase substantially, our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition may be adversely affected.
21. Our Subsidiaries may not pay cash dividends on shares that we hold in them. Consequently, our Company may not receive any return on investments in our Subsidiaries.
Our Subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities, having no obligation to pay dividends and may be restricted from doing so by law or contract, including applicable laws, charter provisions and the terms of their financing arrangements. We cannot assure you that our Subsidiaries will generate sufficient profits and cash flows, or otherwise be able to pay dividends to us in the future.
22. Non-compliance with, and changes in, safety, health and environmental laws could adversely affect our projects.
We are subject to a broad range of safety, health and environmental laws in the jurisdictions in which we operate in the ordinary course of our business, including on controls on noise emissions, air and water discharges, on the storage, handling, discharge and disposal of chemicals, employee exposure to hazardous substances and other aspects of our operations. Under these laws, owners and operators of property may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous substances or other regulated materials on or in such property.
Although we believe that our projects are generally in compliance with such safety, health and environmental laws, statutory authorities may allege non-compliance and no instances have occurred in relation to non - compliance with such safety, health and environmental laws in past three years which have had any material impact on our prospects, business and results of operations, we cannot assure you that we will not be subjected to any such regulatory action in the future, including penalties and other civil or criminal proceedings. Further, though we have been able to obtain the necessary approvals in the past, we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain approvals in relation to our new projects, at such times or in such form as we may require, or at all.
These laws and regulations and their resulting obligations, under which we and our contractors, sub-contractors and special agencies operate, may result in delays in construction and development, cause us to incur substantial compliance and other related costs and prohibit or severely restrict our real estate development business. If we are unable to continue to deliver products as a result of these restrictions, or if our compliance costs increase substantially, our revenues and earnings may be reduced, which may adversely affect our business, results of operation, cash flows and financial condition.
23. Our business and growth plans could be adversely affected by the incidence and change in the rate of property taxes and stamp duties.
As a real estate development company, we are subject to the property tax in the Tamil Nadu region we operate or any other state or location. We are also subject to stamp duty for the agreement entered into in respect of the properties we buy and sell. These taxes could increase in the future, and new types of property taxes and stamp duties may be introduced which will increase our overall costs. If these property taxes and stamp duties increase, the cost of buying, selling and owning properties may rise. Additionally, if stamp duties were to be levied on instruments evidencing transactions that we believe are currently not subject to such duties, our acquisition costs and sale values may be affected, resulting in a reduction of our profitability. Any such changes in the incidence or rates of property taxes or stamp duties could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operation, cash flows and financial condition.
24. There are outstanding legal proceedings against our Company, our Promoters, and some of our Directors, Subsidiaries, Key Managerial Personnel and Senior Management and Group Companies. Any adverse decision in such proceedings may render us/them liable to liabilities/penalties and may adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
Certain legal proceedings involving our Company, Promoters, and some of our Directors are pending at different levels of adjudication before various courts, tribunals and authorities. In the event of adverse rulings in these proceedings or 42consequent levy of penalties, we may need to make payments or make provisions for future payments, and which may increase expenses and current or contingent liabilities.
A summary of outstanding litigation proceedings involving our Company, our Promoters, and some of our Directors, subsidiaries, Key Managerial Personnel and Senior Management and Group Companies, as disclosed in “Outstanding Litigation and Material Developments” on page 295 in terms of the SEBI ICDR Regulations as at the date of this Draft

For further information, please see “Outstanding Litigation and Material Developments” on page 295.
We cannot assure you that any of the outstanding litigation matters will be settled in our favour, or that no (additional) liability will arise out of these proceedings. We are in the process of litigating these matters. Further, such proceedings could divert management time and attention and consume financial resources in their defence. Additionally, while none of the existing litigation is so major that Company’s existence depends on the same, however we cannot assure you that there will not be any such litigation in future. In addition to the foregoing, we could also be adversely affected by complaints, claims or legal actions brought by persons, before various forums such as courts, tribunals, consumer forums or sector-specific or other regulatory authorities in the ordinary course or otherwise, in relation to our products, our technology, our branding or our policies or any other acts/omissions, in the future. Further, we may be subject to legal action by our employees and/or ex-employees in relation to alleged grievances such as termination of their employment with us. There can be no assurance that such complaints or claims will not result in investigations, enquiries or legal actions by any courts, tribunals or regulatory authorities against us.
25. Delay/ default in payment of statutory dues may attract penalties and in turn have an adverse impact on our financial condition.
43We are required to make certain payments to various statutory authorities from time to time, including but not limited to payments pertaining to employee provident fund, employee state insurance, income tax and excise duty.

Any failure or delay in payment of such statutory dues may expose us to statutory and regulatory action, as well as significant penalties, and may adversely impact our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
26. We have in the past entered into related party transactions and may continue to do so in the future.
The table below sets forth the total amount of our related party transactions in the ordinary course of business for the periods indicated.

Although all the related party transactions in Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 or Fiscal 2023 have been carried out on arm’s length basis, we cannot assure you that each of the related party transactions will be carried out on an arm’s length basis in the future and on more favourable terms as compared to unrelated parties. It is likely that we will continue to enter into related party transactions in the future. Some of these transactions may require significant capital outlay and there can be no assurance that we will be able to make a return on these investments. Although all related-party transactions that we may enter into will be subject to Audit Committee, Board or shareholder approval, as may be required under the Companies Act, 2013 and the SEBI Listing Regulations, we cannot assure you that such transactions, individually or in the aggregate, will perform as expected/ result in the benefit envisaged therein.
27. We will not receive any proceeds from the Offer for Sale. The Promoter Selling Shareholders will receive the net proceeds from the Offer for Sale.
44The Offer consists of an Offer for Sale. The Promoter Selling Shareholders shall be entitled to the net proceeds from the Offer for Sale, which comprise proceeds from the Offer for Sale net of Offer expenses shared by the Promoter Selling Shareholders, and our Company will not receive any proceeds from the Offer for Sale.
28. After the completion of the Offer, our Promoters will continue to collectively hold substantial shareholding in our Company.
Currently, our Promoters own an aggregate of 95.49 % of our issued, subscribed and paid-up Equity Share capital. Following the completion of the Offer, our Promoters will continue to hold approximately [●] % of our post-Offer Equity Share capital.
For details of their shareholding pre and post-Offer, please see “Capital Structure” on page 75. By virtue of their shareholding, our Promoters will have the ability to exercise significant control over the outcome of the matters submitted to our shareholders for approval, including the appointment of Directors, the timing and payment of dividends, the adoption of and amendments to our Memorandum and Articles of Association, the approval of a merger or sale of substantially all of our assets and the approval of most other actions requiring the approval of our shareholders. The interests of our Promoters in their capacity as our Shareholders could be different from the interests of our other shareholders. Any such conflict may adversely affect our ability to execute our business strategy or to operate our business.
29. Certain unsecured loans have been availed by us which may be recalled by lenders.
As of March 31, 2025, we availed unsecured loans aggregating to ₹475.73 million from related parties of which ₹210.79 million was from Directors and ₹264.94 million was from Promoter Group companies. Any failure to service such indebtedness, or otherwise perform any obligations under such financing agreements may lead to acceleration of payments under such credit facilities, which may adversely affect our Company. For further information, see “Financial Indebtedness” on page 293 and “Restated Consolidated Financial Information – Annexure 21 - Statement of Borrowings as restated ” on page 206.
30. Certain of our Group Companies have been loss making in Fiscal 2024, Fiscal 2023 and/or Fiscal 2022 and our Group Company, Grand Magnum Housing Private Limited, had a negative net worth in Fiscal 2024, Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal

** Abhira Solar Ventures Private Limited was incorporated in the year 2023-24, hence no profit/ loss in the year 2022-23.
There can be no assurance that our Subsidiaries will not incur losses or have negative net worth in the future. Any losses incurred by our Subsidiary in the future may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
32. Our Group Companies are authorized to engage in the line of business similar to that of our Company. Conflicts of interest may arise out of similar business ventures between our Company and our Group Companies in which certain of our Promoter and Directors are interested by virtue of their shareholding in such Group Companies. Such potential conflict of interests could adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
As on the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, certain of our Group Companies are authorized to engage in the line of business similar to that of our Company. For further information, please see “Our Promoters and Promoter Group” and “Group Companies” on pages 196 and 201, respectively. Conflicts of interest may arise out of similar business ventures between our Company and our Group Companies in which certain of our Promoters and Directors are interested by virtue of their shareholding in such Group Companies. Further, we cannot assure you that these Group Companies will not compete with our business in respect of business in which we are already engaged or will enter into business or contracts in future, which may conflict with our interests. Our Company will adopt the necessary procedures and practices as permitted by law to address any situations of conflict of interest, if and when they arise; however, such potential conflict of interests could adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
33. Failure to successfully implement our business strategies and our development plans may materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial conditions.
We are embarking on a growth strategy which involves an expansion of our business of developing plotted developments.
Historically, the focus of our business has been in and around Chennai. In the future, we intend to continue our efforts in and around Chennai, and to drive future growth, we are further strategically expanding our reach into other cities in the State of Tamil Nadu, such as Kancheepuram. Further, we intend to leverage our experience in the real estate industry to capitalize on emerging industry opportunities. Pursuing these strategies may place significant demands on our management as well as our financial resources and accounting and operating systems. Even if we have successfully executed our business strategies in the past, we cannot assure you that we will be able to execute our strategies on time and within the estimated budget, or that we will meet the expectations of targeted customers. Our failure to execute our growth strategy may result in our inability to maintain prior rates of growth.
Further, as we expand our operations, we may be unable to manage our business efficiently, which could result in delays, increased costs and affect the quality of our projects, and may adversely affect our reputation. Such expansion also increases the challenges involved in preserving a uniform culture, set of values and work environment across our business operations, developing and improving our internal administrative infrastructure, particularly our financial, operational, communications, internal control and other internal systems, recruiting, training and retaining management, technical and marketing personnel, maintaining high levels of customer satisfaction, and adhering to health, safety, and environmental standards.
Our failure to manage our growth could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
Each of the elements of new project initiatives that we develop to grow our business carries significant risks, as well as the possibility of unexpected consequences, including acceptance by and sales of the new project initiatives to our customers may not be as high as we anticipate; our marketing strategies for the new projects may be less effective than planned and may fail to effectively reach the targeted consumer base or engender the desired consumption; we may incur costs exceeding our expectations as a result of the continued development and launch of the new projects; we may experience a decrease in sales of certain of our existing projects as a result of the introduction of new projects nearby; and any delays or other 46difficulties impacting our ability, or the ability of our third party contractors and developers, to develop and construct projects in a timely manner in connection with launching the new project initiatives.
In the event of failure on our part to successfully implement our business strategies and our development plans for any of the foregoing reasons, our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition could be adversely affected.
34. Our business operations are subject to the performance of the real estate market. Sales of our projects may be adversely affected by the ability of our prospective customers to purchase property which is dependent on availability of financing to potential customers.
Our operations are subject to the performance of the real estate market in India generally and more particularly in and around Chennai, Tamil Nadu in which our projects are currently located and in markets where they will be located in the future.
The development of a real estate project takes a substantial amount of time, and our business could be adversely impacted if there is a decline in prices over the timeframe of sale and development. Changes in government policies, local economic conditions (which may differ from countrywide economic conditions), demographic trends, employment and income levels and interest rates, among other factors, may affect the real estate market and affect the demand for and valuation of our projects under implementation and our future projects. We are subject to potentially significant fluctuations in the market value of our land. We need to regularly identify and acquire new land to support and sustain our business. The risk of owning undeveloped land can be substantial and the market value of the same can fluctuate significantly as a result of changing economic and market conditions. There is often a significant lag between the time we acquire land and the time that we can plot and develop such project. In addition, real estate investments, in land, are relatively illiquid, which may limit our ability to vary our exposure in the real estate business promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions. Our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition could be adversely affected if market conditions deteriorate or if we purchase land at higher prices during stronger economic periods and the value of the land subsequently declines during weaker economic periods.
Low interest rates on housing loans and favourable tax treatment of these loans have helped boost the recent growth of the Indian real estate market. However, if there is an increase in interest rates increases in India, it could discourage consumers from taking loans for acquiring real estate and thereby weaken the real estate market. Further, rising interest rates also increase the costs of our borrowings. Various provisions and norms imposed by the RBI in relation to housing loans by banks and housing finance companies could reduce the attractiveness of the property. Additionally, Reserve Bank of India or the government may take further steps to reduce directly or indirectly the amount of credit extended to the real estate sector, which could adversely affect the availability of housing loans at attractive rates. Any such changes in the home loans market, making home loans less attractive to our customers may adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
The use of home loans for residential properties has also become attractive due to income tax benefits. In the event of a change in fiscal, monetary or other policy and a consequent withdrawal of such income tax benefits use of home loans may be reduced, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. These factors can negatively affect the demand for and valuation of our projects under development and our planned projects. Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected if real estate market conditions deteriorate.
35. We may be subject to industrial unrest and increased employee costs, which may adversely affect our business and results of operations.
As on August 31, 2025, our workforce comprised of 64 employees and 8 contract labourers.
Our employee benefits expense comprise payments made to all the personnel on our payroll and engaged in our operations.
The table below sets forth our employee benefits expenses, including as a percentage of revenue from operations, for the periods indicated.
Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2023 Fiscal 2024 Particulars % of total % of total % of total ₹ million ₹ million ₹ million expenses expenses expenses Employee benefits expenses 46.85 7.73% 26.99 3.17% 16.93 3.16% We do not operate in a labour-intensive industry and contract labour is hired by our land development contractors for our projects. If the relationships of the independent contractors and their personnel deteriorate, we may experience labour unrest, strikes or other labour action and work stoppages. We do not have any registered labour unions and there have been no disruptions to our projects during Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023 on account of labour-related disputes including strikes, lockouts, or collective bargaining arrangements. However, there can be no assurance that we will not experience work disruptions in the future due to disputes or other problems with our workforce. Any such event may adversely affect our ability to operate our business and complete our projects on time and impair our relationships with our customers, which may adversely 47impact our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
36. We do not own our Registered and Branch Office. A failure to renew our existing lease arrangements at commercially favourable terms or at all may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We do not own our registered and our branch office which are occupied by us on a leasehold basis. The table below sets
forth the details of our lease arrangements with respect to our business properties under lease:
Date of lease Location Primary purpose Lessor Expiry of lease Lease rental Agreement No. 233-235, 2nd Floor, 2nd Mrs. Dhikshita & ₹210,000/- per Ave, Anna Nagar, Chennai, Registered Office 01/08/2022 August 2031 Mrs. Sushmita month Tamil Nadu 600040 No. 935, 4th Floor, B wing, Leaders Property ₹120,000/- per GKS Tower, E V R Salai, Branch Office 15/10/2022 October 2025 & Estate P Ltd month Chennai - 600084 We cannot assure you that we will be able to renew our leases on commercially acceptable terms or at all. While we have not failed to renew our lease arrangements for the material properties in the past three fiscal years, in the event that we are unable to in the future, we may be required to vacate our current premises and make alternative arrangements for new offices.
We cannot assure that the new arrangements will be on commercially acceptable terms. If we are required to relocate our business operations or shut down our operations during this period, we may suffer a disruption in our operations or have to pay increased charges, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. Furthermore, the deeds for our existing and future leased properties may not be adequately stamped or such stamp duty may not be accepted as evidence in a court of law and we may be required to pay penalties for inadequate stamp duty.
37. Any downgrade of our credit ratings could adversely affect our business.
As of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we have received the following credit ratings on our debt and credit facilities.
Instrument or Rating Type ₹ in million Date Ratings Term Loan 150 April 22, 2025 BBB- These ratings assess our overall financial capacity to pay our obligations and are reflective of our ability to meet financial commitments as they become due. Further, there can be no assurance that these ratings will not be revised or changed by the above rating agencies due to various factors. Any downgrade in our credit ratings may increase interest rates for refinancing our outstanding debt, which would increase our financing costs, and adversely affect our future issuances of debt and our ability to raise new capital on a competitive basis.
38. Our Promoters, some of our Directors and Key Managerial Personnel have interests in our Company other than reimbursement of expenses incurred and normal remuneration or benefits.
Our Promoters may be regarded as having an interest in our Company other than reimbursement of expenses incurred and normal remuneration or benefits. Further, our Promoters and certain Directors and Key Managerial Personnel may be deemed to be interested to the extent of Equity Shares held by them or their relatives or members of Promoter Group and on account of unsecured loans taken by our Company from such individuals. Further, our Promoter, Chairman and Managing Director- Vijay Surana J may also be interested to the extent of rent received from our Company for property leased by him.
Our Company cannot assure you that our Promoters will exercise their rights as shareholders to the benefit and best interest of our Company. For further details, please see “Our Management- Interest of Directors”, “Our Promoters and Promoter Group- Interest of our Promoters” and “Restated Consolidated Financial Information- Annexure 42- Related party disclosures” on pages 183, 197 and 206, respectively.
39. A majority of our Directors are or were not directors of listed companies and hence lack of such adequate experience to address complexities associated with listed companies, could have an adverse impact on our business and operations.
Except Ajit Kumar Chordia, an Independent Director of our Company, who was also a director on the board of Arihant Securities Limited and National Plastic Technologies Limited which are listed on Stock Exchanges in India, none of our other Directors are currently, or have been in the past directors on the board of any listed companies. For further details, please see “Our Management- Board of Directors” on page 177. We cannot assure you if the lack of adequate experience of being on the board of listed companies will affect their ability to effectively address the specific complexities associated with being a listed company, which may not have any adverse impact on our operations as a listed company.
4840. Our Non-executive Director and Promoter, Chavi Jain, has limited work experience in the real estate sector (industry in which our Company operates), as on the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.
Our Non-executive Director, Chavi Jain, was appointed in our Company on April 8, 2025. She has limited work experience of over 1 year in the sector in which our Company operates. As she may require additional time to familiarize herself with industry-specific practices and our Company operations, there is a risk of delayed or less informed decision-making in key areas. This could affect our Company’s ability to respond effectively to market challenges or opportunities. However, her fresh perspective could also bring new insights and value to our Board.
41. There are certain discrepancies in our corporate records. We cannot assure you that regulatory proceedings or actions will not be initiated against us in the future which may impact our financial condition and reputation and we will not be subject to any penalty imposed by the competent regulatory authority in this regard.
Our Company has, inadvertently, made certain errors in our corporate records. For instance, certain board resolutions for;
(i) transfer of 50,000 equity shares from Pankaj Dhoot HUF to Jayanthilal Ghisulal Surana on March 15, 2008, has been recorded in the board resolution as Amar Remedies Limited to Jayanthilal Ghisulal Surana instead of a transfer from Amar Remedies Limited to Pankaj Dhoot HUF and subsequently to Jayanthilal Ghisulal Surana; and (ii) transfer of 20,000 equity shares from P. C. Dhoot (HUF) to Jayanthilal Ghisulal Surana on March 15, 2008, has been recorded in the board resolution as Stallion Pharmaceuticals Private Limited to Jayanthilal Ghisulal Surana instead of a transfer from Stallion Pharmaceuticals Private Limited to P. C. Dhoot (HUF) and subsequently to Jayanthilal Ghisulal Surana. Accordingly for making disclosures in the section “Capital Structure”, we have relied on the report dated September 29, 2025 prepared by M/s. M. K. Madhavan & Associates, Company Secretaries.
Further, while there have been no regulatory proceedings or actions initiated against us in relation to the aforementioned anomalies, non-compliance, inaccuracies or non-availability of the corporate records, we cannot assure you that the relevant corporate records will become available in the future, that regulatory proceedings or actions will not be initiated against us in the future, or that we will not be subject to any penalty imposed by the competent regulatory authority in this respect.
42. Our Promoters/ Directors are involved in certain ventures which are authorised to engage in similar line of business as that of our Company.
As on the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, certain of our Group Companies are authorized to engage in the line of business similar to that of our Company. For further details, please see “Our Group Companies” on page 201. Further, our Promoter and Promoter Group may have interests in entities, to the extent of their shareholding and/or directorships, which are in businesses similar to ours and this may result in conflict of interest with us. Our Promoters are also directors and shareholders in the aforesaid Group Companies. We cannot assure you that our Promoters or Promoter Group will not provide competitive services or otherwise compete in business lines in which we are already present or will enter into in the future. In the event that any conflicts of interest arise, our Promoters and Promoter Group may make or influence decisions regarding our operations, financial structure or commercial transactions that may not be in our shareholders’ best interest.
43. Failure or disruption of our IT systems may adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
We have implemented various information technology (“IT”) solutions to cover key areas of our operations and accounting including accounting software and software for customer relations management. Our IT solutions are potentially vulnerable to damage or interruption from a variety of sources, which could result from (among other causes) cyber-attacks on or failures of such infrastructure or compromises to its physical security, as well as from damaging weather or other acts of nature. Although we have had no incidents in the past, a significant or large-scale malfunction or interruption of one or more of our IT systems, could adversely affect our ability to keep our operations running efficiently and affect product availability, particularly in the region or functional area in which the malfunction occurs, and a wider or sustained disruption to our business could also occur. In addition, it is possible that a malfunction of our data system security measures could enable unauthorized persons to access sensitive business data, including information relating to our business strategy or information of our customers. Any of these developments, alone or in combination, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Although we have had no incidents during Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 or Fiscal 2023, the unavailability of, or failure to retain, well trained employees capable of constantly servicing our IT systems may lead to inefficiency or disruption of our operations and thereby adversely affecting our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
44. Information included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, including the measurements with respect to the Saleable Area and Estimated Saleable Area of our projects and the expected launch and completion dates of our projects, is based on assumptions and estimates which may change for various reasons.
Some of the information contained in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus with respect to our Completed Projects, Ongoing Projects and Upcoming Projects such as the amount of land or development rights owned by us, location and type of 49development, Estimated Saleable Area, Saleable Area and our funding requirements are based on certain assumptions and estimates and have not been independently appraised or verified. Further, the expected launch date of a project is the date by which we anticipate obtaining all approvals and the expected date of completion is the date by which we expect to execute the first sale deed.
Saleable Area of our Completed Projects and Ongoing Projects and Estimated Saleable Area of our Upcoming Projects, and plot area of our Land Reserves have been calculated based on the current rules and regulations which govern the development area of the respective projects. Our Land Reserves comprise land on which no development activity has commenced and no plan for development has been initiated but which we intend to develop in future, subject to various factors including marketability, receipt of regulatory clearances and development of adequate infrastructure. The Estimated Saleable Area and Saleable Area may differ from the descriptions of the project presented herein and a particular project may not be completely booked, sold, leased or developed until a date subsequent to the expected completion date. We may also have to revise our assumptions, estimates, development plans (including the type of proposed development) and completion dates of our projects depending on future contingencies and events, including, among others, changes in our business plans due to prevailing economic and market conditions, and changes in laws and regulations. Further, the information we have
provided in relation to our Completed Projects, Ongoing Projects and Upcoming Projects are not representative of our future results.
We may also change our management plans and timelines for strategic, marketing, internal planning and other reasons.
Therefore, management’s estimates and plans with respect to our projects are subject to uncertainty. Also see “Risk Factors – Inability to complete our Upcoming Projects by their respective expected completion dates or at all could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition” on page 33.
45. Our operations, the workforce, or the third parties service providers on property sites are exposed to various hazards, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
We conduct various site studies to identify potential risks prior to the acquisition of any parcel of land or development rights for a parcel of land and its construction and development. However, there are certain unanticipated or unforeseen risks that may arise due to adverse weather and geological conditions such as outbreaks of storms, hurricanes, lightning, floods, landslides, rockslides and earthquakes and other reasons. Additionally, our operations are subject to hazards inherent in providing such services, such as risk of equipment failure, impact from falling objects, collision, work accidents, fire, or explosion, including hazards that may cause injury and loss of life, severe damage to and destruction of property and equipment, and environmental damage. Accidents and, in particular, fatalities may have an adverse impact on our reputation and may result in fines and/or investigations by public authorities as well as litigation from injured workers or their dependents.
If any one of these hazards or other hazards were to occur involving our workforce, customers and/or third parties on property sites, our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition may be adversely affected. Further, we may incur additional costs for reconstruction of our projects which are damaged by hazards which may not be covered adequately or at all by the insurance coverage we maintain, and this may adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
46. Fraud or improper conduct may delay the development of a project and adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Further, our employees or contractors may engage in misconduct or other improper activities, including noncompliance with regulatory standards and requirements.
The real estate development and construction market in India is not immune to the risks of fraud or improper practices. Large development and construction projects provide opportunities for corruption, fraud or improper conduct, including bribery, deliberate poor workmanship, theft or embezzlement by employees, contractors or customers or the deliberate supply of low-quality materials. Although no instances of material fraud or improper practices have occurred in our projects in Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 or Fiscal 2023, if we or any other persons involved in any of the projects are the victim of or involved in any such practices, our reputation or our ability to complete the relevant projects as contemplated may be disrupted, thereby adversely affecting our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
Misconduct by employees, employees, suppliers and contractor could include loss of confidential information and intentional failures to comply with any regulations applicable to us, to provide accurate information to regulatory authorities, to comply with the policies and standards we have established, or to report financial information or data accurately or disclose unauthorized activities to us. There can be no assurance that we will be able to identify and deter such misconduct, and the precautions we take to detect and prevent this activity may not be effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged risk.
Although we have had no material incidents of misconduct by our employees, suppliers or contractors during Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 or Fiscal 2023, if our employees, suppliers or contractors engage in any such future misconduct, we could face criminal penalties, fines, revocation of regulatory approvals and harm to our reputation, any of which could form a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
47. Certain sections of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus contain information from the CRISIL Report which we 50commissioned and purchased and any reliance on such information for making an investment decision in the Offer is subject to inherent risks.
Certain sections of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus include information based on, or derived from, the CRISIL Report prepared by CRISIL, which is not related to our Company, Directors, Key Managerial Personnel or Senior Management Personnel. We commissioned and paid for this report for the purpose of confirming our understanding of the housing development industry in connection with the Offer. All such information in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus indicates the CRISIL Report as its source. Accordingly, any information in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus derived from, or based on, the CRISIL Report should be read taking into consideration the foregoing.
Industry sources and publications are also prepared based on information as of specific dates and may no longer be current or reflect current trends. Industry sources and publications may also base their information on estimates, projections, forecasts and assumptions that may prove to be incorrect. Industry sources do not guarantee the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of the data. Further, the CRISIL Report is not a recommendation to invest / disinvest in any company covered in the CRISIL Report. Accordingly, prospective investors should not place undue reliance on, or base their investment decision solely on this information.
In view of the foregoing, you may not be able to seek legal recourse for any losses resulting from undertaking any investment in the Offer pursuant to reliance on the information in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus based on, or derived from, the CRISIL Report. You should consult your own advisors and undertake an independent assessment of information in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus based on, or derived from, the CRISIL Report before making any investment decision regarding the Offer. Please see “Industry Overview” on page 102.
48. We have in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus included certain Non-GAAP Measures that may vary from any standard methodology that is applicable across the real estate development industry and may not be comparable with financial information of similar nomenclature computed and presented by other companies.
Certain Non-GAAP Measures relating to our operations have been included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. For further details on the key performance indicators and non-GAAP financial measures used in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, please see “Certain Conventions, Use of Financial Information and Market Data and Currency of Presentation—Non- GAAP financial measures” on page 14. We compute and disclose such Non-GAAP Measures as we consider such information to be useful measures of our business and financial performance, and because such measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and others to evaluate the operational performance of real estate development companies, many of which provide such Non-GAAP Measures and other industry related statistical and operational information. Such supplemental financial and operational information is therefore of limited utility as an analytical tool, and investors are cautioned against considering such information either in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our audited financial statements and Restated Consolidated Financial Information as reported under applicable accounting standards disclosed elsewhere in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. These Non-GAAP Measures and such other industry related statistical and other information relating to our operations and financial performance may not be computed on the basis of any standard methodology that is applicable across the industry and are not measures of operating performance or liquidity defined by generally accepted accounting principles, and therefore may not be comparable to financial measures and industry related statistical information of similar nomenclature that may be computed and presented by other real estate development companies.
External Risks
49. A slowdown in economic growth in India could have a negative impact on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
Our performance and the growth of our business are dependent on the health of the overall Indian economy. Any slowdown or perceived slowdown in the Indian economy, Indian real estate sector or future volatility in interest rates and could materially and adversely affect our business. Additionally, an increase in trade deficit, or a decline in India’s foreign exchange reserves could negatively affect liquidity, which could adversely affect the Indian economy and our business. Any downturn in the macroeconomic environment in India could also adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
India’s economy could be adversely affected by a general rise in interest rates or inflation, adverse weather conditions affecting agriculture, commodity and energy prices as well as various other factors like global pandemics. A slowdown in the Indian economy could adversely affect the policy of the Government of India towards the real estate development industry, which may in turn adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition and our ability to implement our business strategy
50. If inflation were to rise in India, we might not be able to increase the prices of our services at a proportional rate thereby reducing our margins.
51Inflation rates in India have been volatile in recent years, and such volatility may continue in the future. India has experienced high inflation in the recent past. Increased inflation can contribute to an increase in interest rates and increased costs to our business, including increased costs of transportation, wages, raw materials and other expenses relevant to our business.
Further, an increase in interest rates may have a detrimental to our business in respect of lowering demand for our residential and industrial development projects and increasing our financing costs. In addition, high fluctuations in inflation rates may make it more difficult for us to accurately estimate or control our costs. Any increase in inflation in India can increase our expenses, which we may not be able to adequately pass on to our customers, whether entirely or in part, and may adversely affect our business and financial condition. In particular, we might not be able to reduce our costs or entirely offset any increases in costs with increases in prices for our products. In such case, our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition may be adversely affected. Further, the Government has previously initiated economic measures to combat high inflation rates, and it is unclear whether these measures will remain in effect. There can be no assurance that Indian inflation levels will not worsen in the future.
51. Our business is affected by global economic conditions, which may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
The Indian economy and its securities markets are influenced by global economic developments and volatility in securities markets in other countries. Investors’ reactions to developments in one country may have adverse effects on the market price of securities of companies located in other countries, including India. Negative economic developments, such as rising fiscal or trade deficits, or a default on national debt, in other emerging market countries may also affect investor confidence and cause increased volatility in Indian securities markets and indirectly affect the Indian economy in general. Any worldwide financial instability could also have a negative impact on the Indian economy, including the movement of exchange rates and interest rates in India and could then adversely affect our business, financial performance and the price of our Equity Shares.
The United States and China are India’s major trading partners and any strained relationships with India could have an adverse impact on the trade relations. In that regard, the United States has announced tariff’s being imposed across many Indian imports in the United States. The impact of such tariffs on India’s economy is not known.
Further, developments in the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, between Israel and Hamas, between Israel and Iran and among Houthi forces and Israel , have resulted in and may continue to result in a period of sustained instability across global financial markets, induce volatility in commodity prices, adversely impact availability of natural gas, increase in supply chain, logistics times and costs, increase borrowing costs, cause outflow of capital from emerging markets and may lead to overall slowdown in economic activity in India.
If we are unable to successfully anticipate and respond to changing economic and market conditions, our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition may be adversely affected.
52. Changing regulations in India could lead to new compliance requirements that are uncertain.
The regulatory and policy environment in which we operate is evolving and is subject to change. The Government of India or State governments in India may implement new laws or other regulations and policies that could affect our business in general, which could lead to new compliance requirements, including requiring us to obtain approvals and licenses from the Government of India, State governments and other regulatory bodies, or impose onerous requirements.
Uncertainty in the applicability, interpretation or implementation of any amendment to, or change in, governing law, regulation or policy in the jurisdictions in which we operate, including by reason of an absence, or a limited body, of administrative or judicial precedent may be time consuming as well as costly for us to resolve and may impact the viability of our current business or restrict our ability to grow our business in the future. We may incur increased costs and other burdens relating to compliance with such new requirements, which may also require significant management time and other resources, and any failure to comply may adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
53. Natural calamities, climate change and health epidemics and pandemics in India could adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. In addition, hostilities, terrorist attacks, civil unrest and other acts of violence could adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
India has experienced natural calamities, such as earthquakes and floods in recent years. Natural calamities could have an adverse impact on the Indian economy which, in turn, could adversely affect our business, and they may also damage or destroy our projects or real estate assets. Further, such events also may lead to the disruption of, or damage, to construction equipment and machines, information systems, electrical systems and telecommunication services for sustained periods.
Natural calamities also may make it difficult or impossible for employees to reach our business locations. Damage or destruction that interrupts our operations or assets could adversely affect our reputation, our relationships with our customers, our senior management team’s ability to administer and supervise our business or it may cause us to incur substantial additional expenditure to repair or replace damaged assets. equipment or machines. Though some of the losses are covered 52under appropriate insurance, the above factors may still adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
India has from time-to-time experienced instances of social, religious and civil unrest and hostilities between neighbouring countries. Military activity or terrorist attacks in the future could influence the Indian economy by disrupting communications and making travel and logistics more difficult. Such political tensions also could create a greater perception that investments in Indian companies involve higher degrees of risk. Events of this nature in the future, as well as social and civil unrest within other countries in Asia and Europe, could influence the Indian economy and could have a material adverse effect on the market for securities of Indian companies.
54. Any downgrading of India’s sovereign debt rating by an international rating agency could have a negative impact on our business, results of operations and cash flows.
Our borrowing costs and our access to the debt capital markets depend significantly on the credit ratings of India. Any adverse revisions to credit ratings for India and other jurisdictions we operate in by international rating agencies may adversely impact our ability to raise additional financing and the interest rates and other commercial terms at which such funding is available. A downgrading of India’s credit ratings may occur, for example, upon a change of government tax or fiscal policy, which is outside our control. This could have an adverse effect on our ability to fund our growth on favourable terms and consequently adversely affect our business and financial performance and the price of the Equity Shares.
55. Land is subject to compulsory acquisition by the government and compensation in lieu of such acquisition may be inadequate. Any such acquisition of land or properties by the government for compensation which may not be adequate may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The right to own property in India is subject to restrictions that may be imposed by the government. In particular, the Government under the provisions of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 and (the “Land Acquisition Act”) has the right to compulsorily acquire any land if such acquisition is for a “public purpose”, after providing compensation to such owner of the land. However, the compensation paid pursuant to such acquisition may not be adequate to compensate the owner for the loss of such property. The likelihood of such acquisitions may increase as central and state governments seek to acquire land for the development of infrastructure projects such as roads, railways, airports and townships. Additionally, we may face difficulties in interpreting and complying with the provisions of the Land Acquisition Act, due to limited jurisprudence on them in the event our interpretation differs from or contradicts with any judicial pronouncements or clarifications issued by the Government. In the future, we may face regulatory actions or we may be required to undertake remedial steps. Any such action in respect of any of the projects in which we are investing or may invest in the future may adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
56. The extent and reliability of Indian infrastructure, to the extent insufficient, could adversely impact our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
India’s physical infrastructure is less developed than that of many developed nations. Any congestion or disruption with its road and rail networks, electricity grid, communication systems or any other public facility could disrupt our normal business activity. Any deterioration of India’s physical infrastructure would harm the national economy, disrupt construction industry including our residential and industrial development projects, and add costs to doing business in India. These problems could interrupt our business operations, which could have adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
57. Significant differences exist between Ind-AS and other accounting principles, such as U.S. GAAP and IFRS, which may be material to the financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with Ind-AS contained in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.
Our Restated Consolidated Financial Information has been compiled from our audited financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with Ind-AS, and restated in accordance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations. Ind-AS differs from accounting principles with which prospective investors may be familiar in other countries, such as U.S. GAAP and IFRS.
Significant differences exist between Ind-AS, U.S. GAAP and IFRS, which may be material to the financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with Ind-AS contained in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. Accordingly, the degree to which the financial information included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus will provide meaningful information is dependent on the prospective investor’s familiarity with Ind-AS and the Companies Act. Any reliance by persons not familiar with Ind-AS on the financial disclosures presented in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus should accordingly be limited. In addition, some of our competitors may not present their financial statements in accordance with Ind AS and their financial statements may not be directly comparable to ours, and therefore reliance should accordingly be limited.
58. We may be affected by competition law in India and any adverse application or interpretation of the Competition Act may in turn adversely affect our business.
53The Competition Act, 2002, of India, as amended (“Competition Act”), regulates practices having an appreciable adverse effect on competition in the relevant market in India (“AAEC”). Under the Competition Act, any formal or informal arrangement, understanding, or action in concert, which causes or is likely to cause an AAEC, is considered void and may result in the imposition of substantial penalties. Further, any agreement among competitors which directly or indirectly involves the determination of purchase or sale prices, limits or controls production, supply, markets, technical development, investment, or the provision of services, or shares the market or source of production or provision of services in any manner, including by way of allocation of geographical area or number of customers in the relevant market or directly or indirectly results in bid-rigging or collusive bidding is presumed to have an AAEC and is considered void. The Competition Act also prohibits abuse of a dominant position by any enterprise.
On April 11, 2023, the Competition (Amendment) Bill 2023 received the assent of the President of India to become the Competition (Amendment) Act, 2023 (“Competition Amendment Act”), amending the Competition Act and giving the CCI additional powers to prevent practices that harm competition and the interests of consumers. It has been enacted to increase the ease of doing business in India and enhance transparency. The Competition Amendment Act, inter alia, modifies the scope of certain factors used to determine AAEC, reduces the overall time limit for the assessment of combinations by the CCI and empowers the CCI to impose penalties based on the global turnover of entities, for anti-competitive agreements and abuse of dominant position.
The Competition Act aims to, among others, prohibit all agreements and transactions which may have an AAEC in India.
Consequently, all agreements entered by us could be within the purview of the Competition Act. Further, the CCI has extraterritorial powers and can investigate any agreements, abusive conduct, or combination occurring outside India if such agreement, conduct, or combination has an AAEC in India. However, the impact of the provisions of the Competition Act on the agreements entered by us cannot be predicted with certainty at this stage. We may be affected, directly or indirectly, by the application or interpretation of any provision of the Competition Act, or any enforcement proceedings initiated by the CCI, or any adverse publicity that may be generated due to scrutiny or prosecution by the CCI or if any prohibition or substantial penalties are levied under the Competition Act, it would adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
59. Investors may not be able to enforce a judgment of a foreign court against us.
Our Company is a company incorporated under the laws of India. Our Board of Directors comprises members all of whom are Indian citizens. All of our Key Managerial Personnel and Senior Management are residents of India and majority of the assets of our Company and such persons are located in India. As a result, it may not be possible for investors outside India to effect service of process upon our Company or such persons in India, or to enforce against them judgments obtained in courts outside India.
India has reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters with only a limited number of jurisdictions, which includes, among others, the United Kingdom, Singapore, United Arab Emirates and Hong Kong. In
order to be enforceable, a judgment from a jurisdiction with reciprocity must meet certain requirements of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908. Judgments or decrees from jurisdictions, which do not have reciprocal recognition with India, cannot be executed in India. Therefore, a final judgment for the payment of money rendered by any court in a non-reciprocating territory for civil liability, whether or not predicated solely upon the general laws of the non-reciprocating territory, would not be enforceable in India. Even if an investor obtained a judgment in such a jurisdiction against us or our officers or directors, it may be required to institute a new proceeding in India and obtain a decree from an Indian court. However, the party in whose favour such final judgment is rendered may bring a new suit in a competent court in India based on a final judgment that has been obtained in a non-reciprocating territory within three years of obtaining such final judgment in the same manner as any other suit filed to enforce a civil liability in India. If, and to the extent that, an Indian court were of the opinion that fairness and good faith so required, it would, under current practice, give binding effect to the final judgment that had been rendered in the non-reciprocating territory, unless such a judgment contravenes principles of public policy in India. It is unlikely that an Indian court would award damages on the same basis or to the same extent as was awarded in a final judgment rendered by a court in another jurisdiction if the Indian court believed that the amount of damages awarded was excessive or inconsistent with Indian practice. In addition, any person seeking to enforce a foreign judgment in India is required to obtain prior approval of the RBI to repatriate any amount recovered pursuant to the execution of such a judgment.
60. The Offer Price, market capitalization to revenue from operations multiple and price to earnings ratio based on the Offer Price of our Company, may not be indicative of the market price of the Company on listing or thereafter.
Set forth below are details regarding our consolidated revenue from operations and restated profit / (loss) after tax for the periods indicated.
Particulars Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023 Revenue from operations (₹ in million) 1,566.58 1,560.00 946.10 54Particulars Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023 Restated profit/(loss) for the year (₹ in 753.56 576.24 309.36 million) Our market capitalization to revenue from operations (Fiscal 2025) multiple is [●] times and our price to earnings ratio (based on Fiscal 2025 consolidated restated profit / (loss) after tax for the year) is [●] at the upper end of the Price Band and [●] at the lower end of the Price Band. The Offer Price of the Equity Shares is proposed to be determined on the basis of assessment of market demand for the Equity Shares offered through a book-building process, and certain quantitative and qualitative factors as set out in “Basis for Offer Price” on page 92, and the Offer Price, multiples and ratios may not be indicative of the market price of the Company on listing or thereafter. Investors are advised to make an informed decision while investing in our Company taking into consideration the price per share that will be published in price advertisement, the revenue generated per share in the past and the market capitalization of our company vis-à-vis the revenue generated per share.
Prior to the Offer, there has been no public market for our Equity Shares, and an active trading market on the Stock Exchanges may not develop or be sustained after the Offer. Listing and quotation do not guarantee that a market for the Equity Shares will develop, or if developed, the liquidity of such market for the Equity Shares.
Accordingly, any valuation exercise undertaken for the purposes of the Offer by our Company would not be based on a benchmark with our industry peers. The relevant financial parameters based on which the Price Band would be determined, shall be disclosed in the advertisement that would be issued for publication of the Price Band.
The market price of the Equity Shares may be subject to significant fluctuations in response to, among other factors, variations in our operating results, market conditions specific to the industry we operate in, developments relating to India, announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic alliances, our competitors launching significant new projects, announcements by third parties or governmental entities of significant claims or proceedings against us, volatility in the securities markets in India and other jurisdictions, variations in the growth rate of financial indicators, variations in revenue or earnings estimates by research publications, and changes in economic, legal and other regulatory factors.
61. The Offer Price of the Equity Shares may not be indicative of the market price of the Equity Shares after the Offer.
The Offer Price of the Equity Shares will be determined by our Company in consultation with the BRLMs through the Book Building Process. This price will be based on numerous factors, as described under the chapter “Basis for Offer Price” beginning on page 92 and may not be indicative of the market price for the Equity Shares after the Offer. The market price of the Equity Shares could be subject to significant fluctuations after the Offer and may decline below the Offer Price. We cannot assure you that you will be able to resell their Equity Shares at or above the Offer Price.
62. The determination of the Price Band is based on various factors and assumptions, and the Offer Price of the Equity Shares may not be indicative of the market price of the Equity Shares after the Offer. Further, the current market price of some securities listed pursuant to certain previous issues managed by the Book Running Lead Managers is below their respective issue prices.
The determination of the Price Band is based on various factors and assumptions and will be determined by our Company in consultation with the Book Running Lead Managers. Furthermore, the Offer Price of the Equity Shares will be determined by our Company in consultation with the Book Running Lead Managers through the Book Building Process. These will be based on numerous factors, including factors as described under “Basis for Offer Price” on page 92 and may not be indicative of the market price for the Equity Shares after the Offer.
Additionally, the current market price of securities listed pursuant to certain previous initial public offerings managed by the Book Running Lead Managers is below their respective issue price. For further details, please see “Other Regulatory and Statutory Disclosures – Price information of past issues handled by the BRLM” commencing on page 311. The factors that could affect the market price of the Equity Shares include, among others, broad market trends, financial performance and results of our Company post-listing, and other factors beyond our control. We cannot assure you that an active market will develop or sustained trading will take place in the Equity Shares or provide any assurance regarding the price at which the Equity Shares will be traded after listing.
63. Subsequent to listing of the Equity Shares, we may be subject to pre-emptive surveillance measures like Additional Surveillance Measures and Graded Surveillance Measures by the Stock Exchanges in order to enhance market integrity and safeguard the interest of investors.
SEBI and the Stock Exchanges, in the past, have introduced various pre-emptive surveillance measures with respect to the 55shares of listed companies in India (the “Listed Securities”) to enhance market integrity, safeguard the interests of investors and potential market abuses. In addition to various surveillance measures already implemented, and to further safeguard the interest of investors, the SEBI and the Stock Exchanges have introduced additional surveillance measures (“ASM”) and graded surveillance measures (“GSM”).
ASM is conducted by the Stock Exchanges on Listed Securities with surveillance concerns based on certain objective parameters such as price-to-earnings ratio, percentage of delivery, client concentration, variation in volume of shares and volatility of shares, among other things. GSM is conducted by the Stock Exchanges on Listed Securities where their price quoted on the Stock Exchanges is not commensurate with, among other things, the financial performance and financial condition measures such as earnings, book value, fixed assets, net worth, other measures such as price-to-earnings multiple and market capitalization.
Upon listing, the trading of our Equity Shares would be subject to differing market conditions as well as other factors which may result in high volatility in price, and low trading volumes as a percentage of combined trading volume of our Equity Shares. The occurrence of any of the abovementioned factors or other circumstances may trigger any of the parameters prescribed by SEBI and the Stock Exchanges for placing our securities under the GSM and/or ASM framework or any other surveillance measures, which could result in significant restrictions on trading of our Equity Shares being imposed by SEBI and the Stock Exchanges. These restrictions may include requiring higher margin requirements, limiting trading frequency or freezing of price on the upper side of trading, as well as mentioning of our Equity Shares on the surveillance dashboards of the Stock Exchanges. The imposition of these restrictions and curbs on trading may have an adverse effect on the market price, trading and liquidity of our Equity Shares and on the reputation and conditions of our Company. Any such instance may result in a loss of our reputation and diversion of our management’s attention and may also decrease the market price of our Equity Shares which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.
64. Rights of shareholders of companies under Indian law may be more limited than under the laws of other jurisdictions.
Our Articles of Association, composition of our Board, Indian laws governing our corporate affairs, the validity of corporate procedures, directors’ fiduciary duties, responsibilities and liabilities, and shareholders’ rights may differ from those that would apply to a company in another jurisdiction. Shareholders’ rights under Indian law may not be as extensive and widespread as shareholders’ rights under the laws of other countries or jurisdictions. Investors may face challenges in asserting their rights as shareholder in an Indian company than as a shareholder of an entity in another jurisdiction.
65. Fluctuation in the exchange rate between the Indian Rupee and foreign currencies may have an adverse effect on the value of our Equity Shares, independent of our operating results.
On listing, our Equity Shares will be quoted in Indian Rupees on the Stock Exchanges. Any dividends in respect of our Equity Shares will also be paid in Indian Rupees and subsequently converted into the relevant foreign currency for repatriation, if required. Any adverse movement in currency exchange rates during the time taken for such conversion may reduce the net dividend to foreign investors. In addition, any adverse movement in currency exchange rates during a delay in repatriating the proceeds from a sale of Equity Shares outside India, for example, because of a delay in regulatory approvals that may be required for the sale of Equity Shares, may reduce the proceeds received by Shareholders. For example, the exchange rate between the Indian Rupee and the U.S. dollar has fluctuated substantially in recent years and may continue to fluctuate substantially in the future, which may have an adverse effect on the returns on our Equity Shares, independent of our operating results.
66. Our Company’s Equity Shares have never been publicly traded and may experience price and volume fluctuations following the completion of the Offer, an active trading market for the Equity Shares may not develop, the price of our Equity Shares may be volatile and may not be indicative of the market price of Equity Shares after the Offer, and you may be unable to resell your Equity Shares at or above the Offer Price or at all.
Prior to the Offer, there has been no public market for our Equity Shares, and an active trading market for our Equity Shares may not develop. Listing and quotation does not guarantee that a market for our Equity Shares will develop, or if developed, the liquidity of such market for our Equity Shares. Investors might not be able to rapidly sell the Equity Shares at the quoted price if there is no active trading in the Equity Shares. The Offer Price of our Equity Shares will be determined through a book-building process and may not be indicative of the market price of our Equity Shares at the time of commencement of trading of our Equity Shares or at any time thereafter.
There has been significant volatility in the Indian stock markets in the recent past, and the trading price of our Equity Shares after this Offer could fluctuate significantly as a result of market volatility or due to various internal or external risks, including but not limited to those described in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. These broad market fluctuations and industry factors may materially reduce the market price of our Equity Shares, regardless of our Company’s performance. In addition, following the expiry of the six-month locked-in period on certain portions of the pre-Offer Equity Share capital, our Promoters may sell its shareholding in our Company, depending on market conditions and its investment horizon. Any perception by investors that such sales might occur could additionally affect the trading price of our Equity Shares.
Consequently, the price of our Equity Shares may be volatile, and you may be unable to sell your Equity Shares at or above 56the Offer Price, or at all. A decrease in the market price of our Equity Shares could cause investors to lose some or all of their investment.
67. We cannot assure payment of dividends on the Equity Shares in the future.
Our Company has a formal dividend policy as on the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. Our Company, however, has not declared dividends on our Equity Shares during the current Fiscal Year and the last three Fiscal Years. Our ability to pay dividends in the future will depend upon our dividend policy, future results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, working capital requirements and capital expenditure requirements and other factors considered relevant by our directors and shareholders. Our ability to pay dividends may also be restricted under certain financing arrangements that we may enter into. We cannot assure you that we will be able to pay dividends on the Equity Shares at any point in the future.
For details pertaining to dividend policy, please see “Dividend Policy” on page 205.
68. Investors may be subject to Indian taxes arising out of income arising on the sale of and dividend on the Equity Shares.
Under current Indian tax laws, unless specifically exempted, capital gains arising from the sale of equity shares held as investments in an Indian company are generally taxable in India. Securities transaction tax (“STT”) will be levied on and collected by a domestic stock exchange on which the Equity Shares are sold. Any capital gain realized on the sale of listed equity shares on a Stock Exchange held for more than 12 months immediately preceding the date of transfer will be subject to long term capital gains in India at the specified rates depending on certain factors, such as whether the sale is undertaken on or off the Stock Exchanges, STT paid, the quantum of gains and any available treaty relief. Further, any capital gains realized on the sale of listed equity shares held for a period of 12 months or less immediately preceding the date of transfer will be subject to short term capital gains tax in India. The capital gains tax applicable at the time of sale of equity shares, on a stock exchange or off-market sale, is subject to amendments from time to time.
Further, the Finance Act, 2019 has made various amendments in the taxation laws and has also clarified that, in the absence of a specific provision under an agreement, the liability to pay stamp duty in case of sale of securities through stock exchanges will be on the buyer, while in other cases of transfer for consideration through a depository, the onus will be on the transferor. The stamp duty for transfer of securities other than debentures, on a delivery basis is specified at 0.015% and on a non-delivery basis is specified at 0.003% of the consideration amount. These amendments have come into effect from July 1, 2020. Capital gains arising from the sale of the Equity Shares will be exempt from taxation in India in cases where the exemption from taxation in India is provided under a treaty between India and the country of which the seller is a resident.
Generally, Indian tax treaties do not limit India’s ability to impose tax on capital gains. As a result, residents of other countries may be liable for tax in India as well as in their own jurisdiction on a gain upon the sale of Equity Shares.
Additionally, the Finance Act, 2020, has, amongst others things, notified changes and provided a number of amendments to the direct and indirect tax regime, including, without limitation, a simplified alternate direct tax regime and that dividend distribution tax will not be payable in respect of dividends declared, distributed or paid by a domestic company after March 31, 2020 and accordingly, such dividends would not be exempt in the hands of the shareholders, both resident as well as non-resident, and are subject to tax deduction at source. We may or may not grant the benefit of a tax treaty (where applicable) to a non-resident shareholder for the purposes of deducting tax at source from such dividend. Investors should consult their own tax advisors about the consequences of investing or trading in the Equity Shares.
Further, the Government of India has recently introduced various amendments to the Income Tax Act, vide the Finance Act,
2024. We have not fully determined the impact of these recent and proposed laws and regulations on our business, financial condition, future cash flows and results of operations. Unfavourable changes in or interpretations of existing, or the promulgation of new, laws, rules and regulations including foreign investment and stamp duty laws governing our business and operations could result in us being deemed to be in contravention of such laws and may require us to apply for additional approvals
69. QIBs and Non-Institutional Bidders are not permitted to withdraw or lower their Bids (in terms of quantity of Equity Shares or the Bid Amount) at any stage after submitting a Bid, and Retail Individual Bidders are not permitted to withdraw their Bids after Bid/Offer Closing Date.
Pursuant to the SEBI ICDR Regulations, QIBs and Non-Institutional Bidders are required to pay the Bid Amount on submission of the Bid and are not permitted to withdraw or lower their Bids (in terms of quantity of Equity Shares or the Bid Amount) at any stage after submitting a Bid. Retail Individual Bidders, Eligible Employees bidding in the Employee Reservation Portion (subject to the Bid Amount being up to ₹0.20 million) and Eligible Shareholders bidding in the Shareholders’ Reservation Portion (subject to the Bid Amount being up to ₹ 0.20 million) can revise their Bids during the Bid/Offer Period and withdraw their Bids until Bid/Offer Closing Date. While our Company is required to complete all necessary formalities for listing and commencement of trading of the Equity Shares on all Stock Exchanges where such Equity Shares are proposed to be listed including Allotment pursuant to the Offer within six Working Days from the Bid/Offer Closing Date, or such other time period as required under the applicable laws, events affecting the Bidders’ decision to invest in the Equity Shares, including material adverse changes in macro-economic conditions, our business, results of operations or financial condition may arise between the date of submission of the Bid and Allotment. Our Company 57may complete the Allotment of the Equity Shares even if such events occur, and such events limit the Bidders’ ability to sell the Equity Shares Allotted or cause the trading price of the Equity Shares to decline on listing.
70. There is no guarantee that our Equity Shares will be listed on the BSE and NSE in a timely manner or at all.
In accordance with Indian law and practice, permission for listing and trading of our Equity Shares will not be granted until after certain actions have been completed in relation to this Offer and until Allotment of Equity Shares pursuant to this Offer.
In accordance with current regulations and circulars issued by SEBI, our Equity Shares are required to be listed on the BSE and NSE within such time as mandated under UPI Circulars, subject to any change in the prescribed timeline in this regard.
However, we cannot assure you that the trading in our Equity Shares will commence in a timely manner or at all. Any failure or delay in obtaining final listing and trading approvals may restrict your ability to dispose of your Equity Shares.
71. Holders of Equity Shares could be restricted in their ability to exercise pre-emptive rights under Indian law and could thereby suffer future dilution of their ownership position.
Under the Companies Act, a company having share capital and incorporated in India must offer holders of its Equity Shares pre-emptive rights to subscribe and pay for a proportionate number of Equity Shares to maintain their existing ownership percentages prior to the issuance of any new equity shares, unless the pre-emptive rights have been waived by the adoption of a special resolution by holders of three-fourths of the Equity Shares who have voted on such resolution. However, if the laws of the jurisdiction that holders are in does not permit the exercise of such pre-emptive rights without us filing an offering document or registration statement with the applicable authority in such jurisdiction, the holders will be unable to exercise such pre-emptive rights unless we make such a filing. The Company may elect not to file a registration statement in relation to pre-emptive rights otherwise available by Indian law to the holders. To the extent that the holders are unable to exercise pre-emptive rights granted in respect of the Equity Shares, they may suffer future dilution of their ownership position and their proportional interests in our Company would be reduced.
72. Any future issuance of Equity Shares or convertible securities or other equity linked securities by our Company may dilute holders’ shareholding and sales of the Equity Shares by our Promoters or other shareholders, may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares.
We may be required to finance our growth through future equity offerings. Any future equity issuances by us may lead to the dilution of investors’ shareholdings in us. Any disposal of Equity Shares by our shareholders or the perception that such issuance or sales may occur, including to comply with the minimum public shareholding norms applicable to listed companies in India may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares, which may lead to other adverse consequences including difficulty in raising capital through offering of the Equity Shares or incurring additional debt.
Additionally, the disposal, pledge or encumbrance of the Equity Shares by our Promoters or other shareholders, or the perception that such transactions may occur, may affect the trading price of the Equity Shares. There can be no assurance that we will not issue further Equity Shares or that the shareholders will not dispose of the Equity Shares. Such securities may also be issued at prices below the Offer Price.
73. A third party could be prevented from acquiring control of our Company because of anti-takeover provisions under Indian law.
There are provisions in Indian law that may delay, deter or prevent a future takeover or change in control of our Company, even if a change in control would result in the purchase of your Equity Shares at a premium to the market price or would otherwise be beneficial to you. Although the SEBI Takeover Regulations have been formulated to ensure that interests of investors/shareholders are protected, these provisions may also discourage a third party from attempting to take control of our Company. Consequently, even if a potential takeover of our Company would result in the purchase of the Equity Shares at a premium to their market price or would otherwise be beneficial to its stakeholders, it is possible that such a takeover would not be attempted or consummated.
Shareholders’ rights under Indian law and our Articles of Association may not be as extensive and widespread as shareholders’ rights under the laws of other countries or jurisdictions. Investors may face more challenges in asserting their rights as a shareholder in an Indian company than as a shareholder of an entity in another jurisdiction.
74. Foreign investors are subject to investment restrictions under Indian laws, which limit the ability to attract foreign investors, which may adversely impact the market price of Equity Shares.
Foreign ownership of Indian securities is subject to Government regulation. Under the foreign exchange regulations currently in force in India, transfer of shares between non-residents and residents are freely permitted (subject to compliance with sectoral norms and certain other restrictions) if they comply with the pricing guidelines and reporting requirements specified by the RBI. If the transfer of shares, which are sought to be transferred, is not in compliance with such pricing guidelines or reporting requirements or does not fall under any of the exceptions specified by the RBI, then prior approval of the RBI will be required. Further, unless specifically restricted, foreign investment is freely permitted in all sectors of the 58Indian economy up to any extent and without any prior approvals, but the foreign investor is required to follow certain prescribed procedures for making such investment. The RBI and the concerned ministries/departments are responsible for granting approval for foreign investment.
Additionally, shareholders who seek to convert the Indian Rupee proceeds from a sale of shares in India into foreign currency and repatriate that foreign currency from India require a no objection or a tax clearance certificate from the Indian income tax authority. We cannot assure investors that any required approval from the RBI or any other Indian government agency can be obtained on any particular terms, or at all.
Further, pursuant to Press Note No. 3 (2020 Series), dated April 17, 2020 issued by the DPIIT and the Foreign Exchange Management (Non-debt Instruments) Amendment Rules, 2020 which came into effect from April 22, 2020, any investment, subscription, purchase or sale of equity instruments by entities of a country which shares a land border with India or where the beneficial owner of an investment into India is situated in or is a citizen of any such country, can only be made through Government approval route, as prescribed in the Consolidated FDI Policy and the FEMA Rules. These investment restrictions shall also apply to subscribers of offshore derivative instruments. The Company cannot assure investors that any required approval from the RBI or any other government agency can be obtained on any particular terms, or at all. For further details, please see “Restriction on Foreign Ownership of Indian Securities” on page 344.

94Explanation of the historic use of the Key Performance Indicators by our Company to analyse, track or monitor the operational and/or financial performance of our Company In evaluating our business, we consider and use certain KPIs, as presented above, as a supplemental measure to review and assess our performance. The presentation of these KPIs is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the Restated Consolidated Financial Information. These KPIs may not be defined under Ind AS and are not presented in accordance with Ind AS and hence, should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to Ind AS measures of performance or as an indicator of our performance, liquidity, profitability or results of operations. These KPIs have limitations as analytical tools. Further, these KPIs may differ from the similar information used by other companies and hence their comparability may be limited. Therefore, these metrics should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to Ind AS measures of performance or as an indicator of our operating performance, liquidity, profitability or results of operation. Although these KPIs are not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with applicable accounting standards, our Company’s management believes that it provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating our ongoing operating results and trends.
Investors are encouraged to review the Ind AS financial measures and to not rely on any single financial or operational metric to evaluate our business. For further details please see “Risk Factors- Significant differences exist between Ind-AS and other accounting principles, such as U.S. GAAP and IFRS, which may be material to the financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with Ind-AS contained in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus” on page 53.

101SECTION IV – ABOUT THE COMPANY INDUSTRY OVERVIEW Global economic outlook Growth on divergent paths amid elevated policy uncertainty In January, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) forecast global gross domestic product (GDP) will grow 3.3% in calendar years 2025 and 2026 — a moderation compared with the historical average of 3.7% over 2000-2019.The 2025 forecast is up 0.1 percentage point from the October 2024 forecast due to an upward revision in US estimates offsetting the decline in other major economies. Global inflation is expected to fall to 4.2% in 2025 and 3.5% in 2026, returning to the respective targets in advanced economies sooner than in emerging and developing ones, as per IMF reports published in January 2025.
Upside risks could boost the already-strong growth in the US in the near term, whereas risks in other economies are on the downside due to high policy uncertainty. Policy-related disruptions to disinflation could interrupt the shift to easier monetary policy, affecting fiscal sustainability and financial stability.
Mitigating these risks requires a keen policy focus on balancing inflation and real activity trade-offs, rebuilding buffers and enhancing medium-term growth prospects through accelerated structural reforms and stronger multilateral rules and cooperation.

As per the National Statistics Office's first advance estimates of GDP for fiscal 2025 released in January, real GDP is estimated to grow 6.4% in fiscal 2025 vs 8.2% in the provisional estimate for fiscal 2024.

Source: NSO, IMF World Economic Outlook Update – January 2025, Crisil Intelligence Crisil Intelligence estimates growth to have moderated to 6.4% in fiscal 2025 over the high base of fiscal 2024 (8.2%), owing to slower consumption and investment growth. The slowdown was more pronounced in investments because of weak government spending.
Meanwhile, domestic consumption was affected by higher borrowing costs and inflation. On the supply side, manufacturing growth is expected to have sequentially slowed down in the second quarter of the fiscal, weighed down by weaker domestic demand and deteriorating export performance. In contrast, services-maintained growth momentum of over 7% and agricultural growth improved to close to 4%.

Source: Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI), Crisil Intelligence Financial, real estate and professional services sectors collectively lead in contribution to gross value of assets (GVA), with 23% share, followed by agriculture, livestock, forestry and fishing (18%). The financial, real estate and professional services category is estimated to have recorded above-average growth of 7.3% in fiscal 2025 (source: MoSPI). Moving forward, the real estate sector’s contribution to GDP is anticipated to rise to 15.5% by fiscal 2047 from 7.3% in fiscal 2025, as per the Indian Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF).
According to Crisil Intelligence, the growth is expected to be fuelled by robust demand in real estate, driven by improving household income, an emerging aspirational class seeking homeownership and government initiatives such as Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana
(PMAY) that aim to provide housing for all. Additionally, sector formalisation and regulatory measures such as the Real Estate Regulatory Act (RERA), Goods and Services Tax (GST), demonetisation and the Benami Transactions Act have significantly enhanced homebuyer confidence.
Cooling CPI paves way for repo rate cut 103The repo rate was steady at 6.5% for seven quarters until the 25 basis points (bps) cut announced by the Reserve Bank of India on February 7, 2025, pegging it at 6.25% at present.
Even the more developed western economies have adopted a cautious policy rate stance considering the sticky 'last mile' of inflation.
Although the US Federal Reserve (Fed) reduced the federal funds rate by 25 bps to 4.25-4.50% in its December 2024 meeting, it signalled a more cautious approach going ahead in 2025 (source: Crisil Intelligence).
Inflation remains stubbornly high across advanced western economies, with the US, euro area and the UK experiencing an uptick since November 2024, driven by high core or services inflation as labour markets continue to be relatively tight. Moreover, risks to inflation are substantial going forward, with tariffs imposed by the US on imports likely to increase domestic inflation. Additionally, if trading partners retaliate, inflation could increase in other economies as well.
Even as monetary easing in underway in several major economies, uncertainty surrounding the magnitude of rate cuts has increased.
The outcome of the US election, with Donald Trump's victory, has raised expectations of tax cuts, which could lead to fiscal stress in the US. Consequently, S&P Global anticipates fewer rate cuts by the Fed in 2025 compared with its earlier forecasts.
In India, the volatility caused by foreign portfolio investor (FPI) outflows remains manageable. Nevertheless, the global environment continues to be conducive to rate cuts overall.

Source: Crisil Intelligence In India, food prices, the driver of inflation in fiscal 2025, are anticipated to decline in the upcoming months as agricultural production has been strong. Also, sufficient reservoir levels bode well for rabi crop production. Consumer Price Index (CPI)-based food inflation eased in November and December 2024. Preliminary data for January 2025 has shown a decrease in the prices of vegetables and food grains with the entry of the Kharif harvest. Non-food inflation is expected to remain soft in the near term. Though manufacturing and services companies are likely to raise prices in the fourth quarter, benign commodity prices should keep core prices subdued.
The Reserve Bank of India slashed the repo rate by 25 basis points to 6.25% in February 2025. More rate cuts in fiscal 2025 are widely expected. This augurs well for the real estate sector lower repo rates would translate to lower home loan interest rates, thereby improving affordability. It would also provide a sentimental boost to demand by driving the fence-sitters towards making a homeownership decision.

Catalysts of economic growth
1. Population Expanding population = large labour force, need for more houses India's rapidly growing population, now over 1.4 billion, is a key driver of economic expansion. With a working-age population of nearly 65% as of 2011 (source: Census of India 2011), India boasts the second-largest labour force globally (after China), providing a significant advantage to industries and manufacturing. The nation's burgeoning consumer base drives domestic demand, with private consumption contributing 56.3% of GDP in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 (source: MoSPI).

The average household size in the country has steadily shrunk, from 5.4 members in 2001 to 4.1 members in 2021 (source: MoSPI). This shift, driven by increasing nuclearisation and urban migration, has led to a surge in demand for housing units, especially in urban areas. Smaller households also translate to higher per-capita consumption of goods and services, boosting sectors such as real estate, consumer durables and financial services. With more dual-income households and an aspirational middle class, the reduced household size is fostering greater demand for residential and lifestyle infrastructure.

1062. Demographics India’s youth population influences its demographic trends and development trajectory India’s demographic composition, characterised by a median age of 28.1 years as of 2023, significantly younger than developed nations such as China and the US with a median age of 39.1 and 38 years, respectively (Source: UN: World Population Prospects); positions it uniquely among major economies to sustain long-term economic growth. As of 2021, approximately 64% of the population falls in the working-age bracket (15–59 years) (Source: Census of India).
The concentration of young individuals, particularly those aged 18 to 29, comprising more than 367 million people (Source: Census of India), offers a significant advantage in sectors, such as technology, manufacturing, and services.

3. Urbanisation Urbanisation in India is transforming key sectors Urbanisation has been a significant driver of India’s economic growth, with cities occupying just 3% of the nation’s land yet contributing ~60% to the gross domestic product (Source: NITI Aayog). As of 2025, ~37% India’s population resides in urban areas which is expected to reach 43% by 2035 (Source: World Urbanization Prospects). This urban concentration has spurred substantial growth in sectors, such as manufacturing, services, and technology and is expected to spur accelerated growth in urban residential demand.

1084. Structural reforms Government schemes are reshaping key sectors to drive long-term economic growth and infrastructure development The Indian government has introduced a series of structural reforms aimed at enhancing key sectors, such as manufacturing, infrastructure, housing, and logistics.
• Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme: Aimed at boosting domestic manufacturing in sectors, such as electronics, textiles, and automotive, this scheme fosters the creation of industrial hubs. An outlay of Rs 1.97 lakh crore was announced in the Union Budget 2021-22 for PLI schemes for 13 key sectors of manufacturing • Make in India 2.0: This initiative focuses on boosting 27 strategic sectors, such as electronics and textiles, through production- linked incentives, streamlined regulations, and enhanced ease of doing business. The development of these sectors drives regional economic growth, creating demand for infrastructure, both industrial and residential • Smart cities mission: By improving urban infrastructure through technology and sustainable practices, this mission aims to enhance the liveability of 100 selected cities. It creates opportunities for investment and business, contributing to broader economic development and improving the overall urban landscape. The central government has released Rs 46,787 crore to 100 smart cities under the mission, of which more than 90% have been utilised, as of September 2024 (Source: Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs) • National Infrastructure Pipeline: With a Rs 111 lakh crore investment across sectors such as transport, energy, and water, the scheme seeks to improve the country’s infrastructure (Source: Department of Economics Affairs) • Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana: Focused on providing affordable housing, Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) plays a significant role in addressing the housing shortage and stimulating the construction sector, which, in turn, drives economic activity in urban and rural areas by improving living conditions and increasing demand for housing and related infrastructure.
As of January 2025, 90.2 lakh houses have been completed under PMAY-Urban • National Logistics Policy: By improving the efficiency of logistics and reducing costs, the National Logistics Policy (NLP) enhances supply chain management across the country and supports the growth of industrial hubs.
The pan-India residential sector
Key growth drivers for residential real estate in India are: • Strong macro-economic growth: As elaborated in the macro-economic segment, India is among the world’s fastest growing economies and positioned to sustain the growth trajectory in forthcoming years. Projections of stable economic expansion foster a favourable environment for real estate development.
• Favourable population: India is one of the most populous countries in the world alongside China. With the expanding population, the demand for houses is also increasing. In addition, a high proportion of the population is in the working bracket, which augurs well for the overall economic growth and housing demand.
• Shrinking household sizes: India’s average household size fell to 4.38 in 2020 from 5.70 in 1992, according to the United Nations, which resulted in more households, and when combined with a growing population, it is expected to significantly boost demand for residential real estate.
• Urbanisation trend: As a larger share of the population moves to cities (37.4% in 2025 vs 29.2% in 2005, according to the UN’s World Urbanization Prospects), many cities are expanding to cater to the growing population. Further, India’s urbanisation rate of 37.4% in 2025 indicates substantial growth potential compared to the global average of 61.4%.
• Regulatory interventions leading to formalisation of the sector: - RERA: The Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) has improved homebuyer confidence by introducing transparency, accountability, and protection of homebuyer rights. It has also led to increased credibility of developers, reduced risk of project delays and abandonment, and improved quality of construction.
- Demonetisation: Demonetisation has brought about several positive changes in the real estate sector, including increased transparency, reduced speculation and improved governance. • Rising per capita income: The nominal per capita net national income has witnessed a 10.1% compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) over the past 14 years (from 2010 to 2024) (Source: Economic Survey 2023-24 Statistical Appendix), which bodes well for the growth of residential real estate.
• Emergence of an aspirational class post-pandemic: The shift to hybrid work models has become a standard practice in many corporations after the pandemic. As a result, many renters are transitioning to homeownership, and there is a growing demand for more spacious and larger homes, which is a positive trend for the real estate sector.
109• Government support and initiatives: Schemes such as, PMAY, offer financial aid to lower-income groups, promoting the “housing for all” mission. This is a welcome move, especially for the affordable housing sector, which has been experiencing a downward trend of late.
Considering the broad above-mentioned factors, residential real estate in India is poised for strong growth trajectory in the medium to long term.
Residential real estate activity to exhibit moderate growth in fiscal 2025 Between fiscal 2020 and 2022, new project launches trailed demand due to pandemic-related disruptions and developers’ cautious approach to launching new projects. As a result, the Years to Sale (YTS) of existing inventory decreased to 3.66 years from 4.17 years over the same period. (Source: Crisil Intelligence).

Source: Crisil Intelligence The trend shifted in fiscal 2023 as developers launched delayed projects, causing supply to surpass demand, reversing the trend seen from fiscal 2020 to 2022. After the pandemic, real estate momentum gained significant traction in fiscal 2022, driven by a strong economic rebound and the adoption of hybrid work models, which boosted demand for larger homes. As a result, demand soared, and new launches were limited, leading to a reduction in unsold inventory from 3.87 years in fiscal 2019 to 2.66 years in fiscal 2024. Fiscal 2024 witnessed a 16% year-on-year demand surge, reaching a decade-high level. With favourable inventory levels and robust demand, developers introduced new projects with a cumulative carpet area of over 350 msf in fiscal 2024, a 10-year high. (Source: Crisil Intelligence).
In fiscal 2025, Crisil Intelligence estimates that real estate activity will moderate over the high base of the previous fiscal. Demand and supply are expected to grow at a modest 1-5%, resulting in stable unsold inventory levels of ~2.5 years. Moving forward, developers are likely to curate their new launches to match incremental demand, avoiding significant inventory swings and maintaining a balanced market.
110Threats and challenges • Rising capital values: The robust demand-supply dynamics and above-average inflation in recent fiscals have led to a significant surge in capital values in certain cities. This trend has been further driven by the growing preference for premium and larger apartments with amenities over smaller ones. A sustained increase in capital values could affect affordability, particularly in the affordable and mid-segment categories.
• Oversupply in some markets: Certain cities have experienced an oversupply of new apartments, outpacing demand, leading to a steady rise in unsold inventory proportion. This is expected to negatively impact the capital values of the location for near to mid-term until the moderation in supply counterbalances the scenario • Delay in city infrastructure development: While the connectivity infrastructure, such as roads, freeways and metro, drives real estate development in regions, prolonged delays will have an impact on the demand momentum of development in certain cases • Financing constraints: Stricter lending norms, increased interest rates, and limited credit availability may pose difficulties for developers, particularly the mid and small ones, in obtaining necessary funding, potentially impacting their project development capabilities The Chennai residential sector City overview Chennai, the capital city of Tamil Nadu, is one of India’s most urbanised cities, which has a steadily growing population driven by the influx of working professionals, students, and migrants seeking better opportunities. This demographic trend has fuelled demand across residential real estate segments, ranging from affordable housing to high-end apartments. The city also benefits from a rich cultural legacy and a moderate coastal climate, making it an attractive place to live. Infrastructure development and the expansion of peripheral areas have further expanded Chennai's real estate landscape.

The city offers a diverse range of housing options, catering to a wide spectrum of buyers, from affordable housing projects targeting first-time homebuyers to premium and luxury segments aimed at high-income groups. Its well- planned infrastructure and growing employment hubs have consistently supported the demand for residential properties, particularly in peripheral and emerging localities.
Traditional residential hotspots, such as T. Nagar, Nungambakkam, and Adyar, in Central Chennai continue to be in demand due to their central location, proximity to key business districts, and access to social infrastructure. However, areas, such as Rajiv Gandhi Salai -Old Mahabalipuram Road (RGS OMR), have gained prominence as preferred residential destinations, largely driven by the development of IT corridors and special economic zones (SEZs). These localities attract working professionals due to their accessibility to employment hubs, affordability compared with central locations, and availability of modern amenities.
In addition, the city’s luxury housing market has witnessed substantial growth, with projects focusing on gated communities, high-rise apartments, and villas, particularly in prime locations, such as Boat Club Road and Anna Nagar in Central Chennai.
Key developers Key drivers of demand for residential segment in Chennai • Economic activity: The diversified economic landscape of Chennai, encompassing sectors such as automobile manufacturing, healthcare, textiles, and education, plays a crucial role in stimulating demand for residential properties. With its status as a key economic hub in South India, the city continues to attract domestic and international investment, fostering job creation and economic growth • GCC expansion: Chennai has also emerged as a significant hub for the expansion of Global Capability Centres (GCCs). The city’s favourable business environment, skilled talent pool, and cost advantages have attracted leading global corporations to set up or expand their GCCs • Infrastructure development: Key physical infrastructure projects, such as the expansion of the metro rail, new expressways, Chennai Peripheral Road, East Coast Road, and suburban rail extensions are integral to driving residential growth. These initiatives enhance connectivity and unlock new residential zones, making previously underserved areas more accessible • Competitive real estate pricing: Land/capital values in Chennai city are considered competitive in relation to other comparable southern cities of Bangalore and Hyderabad • Rising demand for premium housing: The increasing purchasing power of the upper-middle class, coupled with a preference for gated communities and luxury living, has spurred demand for premium residential properties in prime locations such Adyar, Anna Nagar, and Boat Club Road.
• Ease of Living: According to the Ease of Living Index, 2024, released by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, Chennai ranks fourth in the country Supply and demand Particular (For FY25) Details 112Annual supply 23-28 msf Annual demand 16-21 msf Unsold inventory 34-39 msf Inventory overhang 1.9 years
Note: msf – million square feet
Source: Crisil Intelligence According to Crisil Intelligence, Chennai's residential real estate market is estimated to see a supply of around 23-28 msf in fiscal 2025, reflecting an 8-13% year-on-year growth. This increase in supply is driven by the ongoing development of residential projects to meet the city’s growing housing needs. On the demand side, the market is estimated to absorb 16-21 msf, indicating a 3-8% year-on-year growth.
While supply exceeds demand in the short term, Crisil Intelligence anticipates that demand will pick up in the coming fiscals. This shift is expected to create a more balanced residential real estate market in the medium to long term.
The overhang inventory level is estimated to rise to 1.89 years in fiscal 2025, compared with 1.59 years in fiscal 2024. This increase is attributed to supply outpacing demand in the short term, indicating a proactive approach by developers in anticipation of future demand, driven by the city’s ongoing infrastructure development and economic growth.

Source: Crisil Intelligence Between fiscals 2020 and 2021, Chennai's residential real estate market logged a significant dip in both supply and demand, in line with the nationwide trend following the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic. The market began to recover in fiscal 2022, nearly reaching pre- pandemic levels. However, as of fiscal 2025, the city had only marginally exceeded these levels, highlighting the untapped potential for further growth in the residential real estate sector. This gap can be effectively bridged through the city's ongoing infrastructure advancements, including metro rail expansion, road connectivity improvements, and development of the peripheral areas. These factors are expected to catalyse a notable increase in both supply and demand in the coming fiscals, positioning Chennai for sustained growth in the residential real estate market.

Source: Crisil Intelligence The capital values of residential projects in Chennai have demonstrated a steady upward trend since fiscal 2019, barring a temporary dip in fiscal 2021 because of the pandemic. Between fiscals 2021 and 2025, capital values have risen at a CAGR of 4-9%, reflecting resilience in the market and sustained demand for quality housing, supported by ongoing urban and infrastructure development. Crisil Intelligence estimates that in fiscal 2025, the average capital value increased 8-13% on-year, primarily driven by the launch of luxury and premium residential projects. Despite a slowdown in overall demand, the introduction of high-end developments in areas such as GST Road and Ambattur has driven up capital values. These projects, catering to the growing affluence of the city’s residents, have contributed to price appreciation, particularly in well-connected and sought-after locations.
Premiumisation in Chennai’s real estate market While the city’s housing market spans across affordable units below Rs 45 lakh and a broad mid-segment between Rs 45 lakh and Rs 1 crore, it is the premium bracket of homes priced above Rs 1 crore that has seen increasing momentum. The premiumisation trend in Chennai’s real estate market has accelerated in recent years, with residential properties priced above Rs 1 crore clocking an on-year growth of 48-53% in supply in fiscal 2025, according to Crisil Intelligence. The noticeable shift towards high-end properties has been driven by changing consumer preferences and evolving lifestyles. The pandemic played a significant role in this transformation. During the lockdown, the focus on larger living spaces with better amenities increased as individuals sought more comfort and functionality in their homes. The demand for luxury homes surged as people prioritised features such as home offices, outdoor spaces and enhanced safety measures.
This shift is also reflected in the growing affluence of Chennai’s residents, with professionals in sectors such as IT, finance and healthcare driving the demand for upscale living options.
As a result, areas such as OMR, GST Road, Ambattur and key parts of Central Chennai are seeing a surge in high-end residential projects, with developers now focusing more on delivering luxurious and exclusive living experiences. The post-pandemic world has thus amplified the premiumisation of real estate in Chennai, driven by both a heightened demand for quality and the evolving needs of an affluent urban population.
Premiumisation in Chennai's real estate market is becoming increasingly pronounced, pulling down the share of the affordable segment by 16-21 percentage points on-year 11460% 50% te k 40% c it fo e 30% ra h s % 20% 10% 0% Upto ₹4.5 Mn Above ₹4.5 Mn to ₹10 Mn Above ₹10+ Mn FY24 FY25E

RGS: The Rajiv Gandhi Salai (RGS) corridor, also known as the Old Mahabalipuram Road (OMR), has become a major residential real estate hub in Chennai, driven by its proximity to the IT corridor, employment centres, educational institutions and rapidly developing infrastructure. Over the years, the region has attracted a mix of residential developments, from affordable housing to luxury villas, catering to a wide range of buyers and investors.
Given the vast diversity in pricing and property types along this corridor, Crisil Intelligence has divided the RGS market into two distinct
micro markets: RGS Prime and RGS Non-Prime. This segmentation accounts for the stark differences in pricing, development maturity and demand across these regions.
RGS OMR – Prime Key areas – Prime: Velachery, Taramani, Thoraipakkam, Sholinganallur The RGS Prime segment represents areas along the OMR that are well-established, have superior infrastructure and are positioned as premium residential markets. This includes regions that benefit from proximity to high-end commercial and IT hubs, such as the Tidel Park, DLF IT Park and other major corporate offices. The demand in these areas is driven by professionals working in the IT and 119business sectors, particularly those with higher disposable incomes, who seek residential spaces with superior amenities, infrastructure and connectivity.
These prime locations offer residential options that typically consist of mid-to-high-end apartments, luxury villas and gated communities.
The housing stock here is often characterised by better quality construction, larger unit sizes and access to top-tier amenities such as landscaped gardens, gyms, clubhouses and more. The property prices in RGS Prime are significantly higher than that in the RGS Non- Prime market.

Key areas: Siruseri, Kelambakkam, Thiruvanmiyur RGS Non-Prime is more affordable and has witnessed growth due to the expansion of the IT and industrial sectors. Siruseri, home to the SIPCOT IT Park, is witnessing increased demand for residential properties as professionals working in the IT park seek housing options nearby. While these areas are not as well-established as RGS Prime, they are strategically positioned to benefit from the rapid urbanisation of Chennai’s southern and western corridors. As the city's IT and commercial sectors expand, demand for affordable housing options closer to employment centres is increasing, making these non-prime areas increasingly attractive to middle-income homebuyers.

Key areas: Porur, Thirumazhisai, Saligramam, Oragadam, Sriperumbudur, Poonamallee, Sunguvarchatram Sriperumbudur’s residential real estate market has shown promising growth, driven by its strategic location near key industrial zones, affordable property prices and improving infrastructure. Historically, the area has been dominated by industrial activity, with major automotive manufacturing plants in the region. This has created demand for affordable housing, especially among workers in these industries. The residential market here is largely characterised by budget-friendly apartments, independent houses and plotted developments.
While the market is still in its early stages, compared with more mature residential hubs in Chennai, the ongoing development of key infrastructure, including better road connectivity through the Chennai-Bengaluru National Highway (NH-48), the Outer Ring Road
(ORR) and the upcoming Chennai Peripheral Ring Road (CPRR), has significantly enhanced the area's accessibility. This is likely to drive up demand for residential properties in the coming years, particularly as more industries set up in the region, leading to greater employment opportunities.

Source: Crisil Intelligence Threats and challenges for Chennai’s residential real estate market 121• Oversupply concerns: The supply of residential units has outpaced demand in certain segments, leading to rising inventory levels. A sustained period of high inventory level could adversely affect the market dynamics.
• Rising construction costs: Increasing costs of materials and labour are pushing up input expenses for developers, potentially leading to higher property prices and affecting affordability. • Regulatory and compliance challenges: Delays in regulatory approvals and stringent compliance requirements add to project costs and timelines, creating uncertainty for developers.
Plotted development Plotted developments in Chennai have gained significant traction over the past decade, transitioning from an unorganised market dominated by local players to an increasingly structured segment with the entry of organised developers. This shift has been driven by rising land prices, infrastructure expansion, and a growing investor base seeking higher returns through land appreciation. The demand is particularly strong in the southern and western peripheries of Chennai, where land remains more affordable compared with core city areas. Key growth corridors include Sriperumbudur, Oragadam, Chengalpet, Thirumazhisai, Vallam, Thiruporur, Siruseri and Pudupakkam, all of which are witnessing heightened interest due to their proximity to industrial and IT hubs.
Beyond affordability and investment returns, evolving consumer preferences are also reshaping the market. Homebuyers are increasingly prioritizing larger plots with modest built-up areas, where open spaces, greenery, and outdoor living play a central role. This shift, accelerated by the pandemic, reflects a growing recognition that wellness, health, and quality of life are closely tied to the spaces families live in. Peripheral Chennai offers precisely this blend- cleaner environments, greater per capita land ownership, and proximity to nature, while still ensuring urban access. As a result, plotted developments on the city’s edge are emerging not just as a lifestyle choice but also as a strategic homebuying/investment decision. As upcoming infrastructure projects improve connectivity, peripheral locations are showing early signs of rapid appreciation. These corridors represent one of the most compelling long-term opportunities in Chennai real estate. For buyers and investors alike, they offer the dual advantage of lifestyle dividends and sustained capital growth, positioning Chennai’s periphery as the city’s most promising growth corridor.

Pan-India industrial and logistics sector India’s industrial and logistics sector is undergoing rapid transformation, driven by policy reforms, infrastructure investments and shifting supply chain dynamics. The sector has seen increased institutional interest, with global investors and developers betting on the country’s long-term economic and consumption growth.
The manufacturing sector has been benefiting from government incentives, with large-scale investments in the electronics, pharmaceuticals and automotive industries. The PLI (Production-Linked Incentive) scheme has attracted global manufacturers in semiconductors, mobile phones and electric vehicles, driving demand for industrial real estate in key clusters such as Chennai, Pune and 126Noida. Additionally, the shift in global supply chains after the pandemic has positioned India as a viable alternative to China for diversified manufacturing, further strengthening industrial activity.
The implementation of GST streamlined inter-state trade, allowing for consolidation of fragmented warehousing networks into large, modern logistics parks. The demand for Grade A warehouses has surged, particularly in Tier 1 and emerging Tier 2 cities, as companies seek efficiency in distribution. The rapid growth of e-commerce, fuelled by increasing internet penetration and consumer demand, has intensified the need for last-mile delivery hubs and fulfilment centres.
India is investing heavily in logistics infrastructure, with projects such as dedicated freight corridors (DFCs), Bharatmala, Sagarmala and multi-modal logistics parks (MMLPs) aimed at reducing logistics costs and improving connectivity. Ports, airports and expressways are being integrated to create seamless supply chains, enabling faster movement of goods across the country. The National Logistics Policy (NLP) is further pushing for digitalisation and efficiency, with an aim to reduce logistics costs from the current 13-14% of GDP to global standards.
In fiscal 2024, pan-India growth in industrial warehouse demand was 5-10% with net absorption of 40-45 msf. This was owing to the high base and sharp moderation in the e-commerce segment even though demand from the 3PL (third-party logistics) segment was robust. However, the demand is projected to accelerate in fiscal 2025, with a 19-24% on-year growth, attributable to the continuing expansion of the 3PL segment and recent pace of advancement in the manufacturing segment.
On the supply side, due to dropping vacancy levels and softening commodity prices, supply addition went up 16-21% on-year in fiscal
2024. This translated to an addition of 45-50 msf during the year. Going forward, in fiscal 2025, growth is projected to be along similar lines of 15-20%. Over the long term, the annual demand for Grade A and B warehouses in the top eight Indian cities is expected to grow at 11-16% CAGR between fiscals 2025 and 2029. Annual supply is also expected to grow at a similar 11-16% CAGR in the period.

Source: Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation Key growth drivers for the industrial and logistics sector • Government initiatives - Viksit Bharat 2047: The Viksit Bharat 2047 vision aims to transform India into a developed nation by 2047. This comprehensive plan focuses on inclusive economic participation, technological advancement and sustainable development.
Projections by PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry suggest India's GDP could reach $34.7 trillion by 2047, positioning it as the second-largest economy in the Asia Pacific and the third largest globally.
- PLI scheme: The PLI scheme has been a significant catalyst for manufacturing growth. As of August 2024, actual investments totalling Rs 1.46 lakh crore have been realised. The investments have led to a remarkable boost in production and sales, amounting to Rs 12.50 lakh crore, while directly and indirectly generating ~9.5 lakh jobs (Source: Invest india).
- Start-up India: Launched in 2016, the Start-up India initiative has significantly boosted entrepreneurship. As of July 2024, India is home to over 1.4 lakh startups recognised by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade. This surge has led to innovative solutions in logistics and supply chain management, enhancing efficiency and creating new business models.
- Make in India: The Make in India initiative has successfully attracted substantial foreign direct investment (FDI), driven by the simplification of FDI rules and improvements in ease of doing business. In fiscal 2024, total FDI inflows amounted to $70.95 billion, with equity inflows reaching $44.42 billion, underscoring India's growing appeal as a global investment destination (Source: Ministry of Commerce & Industry).
Infrastructure development - Sagarmala: The Sagarmala programme focuses on port modernisation and connectivity enhancement. It aims to reduce logistics costs and boost merchandise exports. Under the scheme, 119 projects worth Rs 9,480 crore have been partially funded across India (Source: The Union Minister of Ports, Shipping & Waterways).
- PM Gati Shakti: The PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan is an integrated infrastructure initiative designed to synchronise various modes of transportation. Under this scheme, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has planned over 8,891 km of roads using NMP, while the Ministry of Railways (MoR) has used the NMP to plan more than 27,000 km of railway lines (Source: PM Gati Shakti) • Skilled and low-cost labour: India's labour cost advantage continues to attract foreign investment. The availability of an educated workforce, combined with competitive wages, makes India a preferred destination for manufacturing. This advantage is particularly significant in labour-intensive industries such as textiles and electronics.
128• Growing domestic market: India's domestic market is expanding, driven by a rising middle class and increasing urbanisation.
The country's GDP growth, projected at 6.4% for fiscal 2025, reflects this trajectory. This growth fuels demand for various goods, thereby bolstering the industrial and logistics sectors. • FDI: India has seen a significant increase in FDI inflows, with net new FDI reaching a record $1 trillion since April 2000. This landmark achievement was bolstered by a nearly 26% on-year rise in FDI to $42.1 billion during the first half of fiscal 2025 (Source: The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade). This surge underscores global investors' confidence in India's economic prospects and its industrial capabilities.
Threats and challenges • High logistics costs: India's logistics costs remain high, estimated at 13-14% of GDP, compared with 8-10% in developed economies such as the US and Germany. Inefficiencies in freight movement, fragmented supply chains and underdeveloped multimodal transport networks contribute to this issue. While initiatives like PM Gati Shakti aim to address this, progress is gradual, and businesses continue to bear high transportation costs.
• Infrastructure bottlenecks: Despite large-scale infrastructure projects, gaps remain in last-mile connectivity, port streamlining and warehousing standards. Road transport accounts for ~60% of cargo movement, making logistics costlier due to fuel dependence and road congestion. Additionally, port dwell times in India average 2-3 days, whereas global benchmarks are under 24 hours, impacting export competitiveness.
• Regulatory hurdles: State-specific regulations create inconsistencies, making it difficult for businesses to operate seamlessly across different regions. • Supply chain fragmentation and inefficiency: India's supply chain is highly fragmented, with over 90% of warehousing capacity being unorganised and lacking standardisation. Limited cold chain infrastructure further reduces efficiency. This fragmentation leads to higher lead times, wastage in perishable goods, and inconsistent service levels.
• Skilled workforce shortage: While India has a large labour force, there is a shortage of skilled workers in advanced manufacturing and logistics technologies. The rise of automation and AI-driven logistics requires upskilling, which is progressing slower than the demand.
• Dependence on imports for critical components: Despite the push for domestic manufacturing, India depends heavily on imports for high-end electronics, semiconductors, and critical machinery components. India imports nearly 80% of its electronic components, including semiconductors, printed circuit boards, and other critical hardware from China, Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan (Source: NITI Aayog). This dependence creates supply chain vulnerabilities, especially during geopolitical tensions or disruptions in global trade.
• Geopolitical risks and trade uncertainties: India's trade policies, tariff structures, and global political developments impact industrial growth. Factors such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict, US-China trade tensions, and shifting global supply chains influence raw material costs and export-import (EXIM) dynamics. Additionally, India’s non-participation in regional trade agreements like Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership could limit its access to certain global markets.
• Environmental and sustainability challenges: With industrial expansion, concerns over carbon emissions, pollution and resource depletion are growing. India’s logistics sector is one of the largest contributors to emissions, and despite efforts to promote green logistics (electric vehicles, rail freight and inland waterways), adoption is slow due to high costs and lack of infrastructure. Stricter environmental regulations could increase compliance costs for industries in the future.
• Competition from emerging markets: India faces competition from countries like Vietnam, Indonesia and Mexico, which offer competitive labour costs, investor-friendly policies and strong export infrastructure.

Overview We are a real estate developer in India primarily focussing on plotted developments in the State of Tamil Nadu, particularly in and around Chennai. As part of our business, we acquire parcels of land and build basic infrastructure on the land, such as roads, power connections, sewage, water supply thereby converting it into developable land. We also have worked to acquire contiguous parcels of land in some cases to create a larger area more economically viable for further development.
Our plotted developments are divided into two (2) segments, namely (i) residential segment comprising development of residential plots; and (ii) industrial segment comprising development of large contiguous land to be used for industries. We develop and sell residential land plots mainly to homeowners for their construction of houses and villas. The sizes of our residential plots typically range from 600 square feet to 2,400 square feet, with price of individual plot ranging from ₹1,500 per square feet to ₹5,000 per square feet. We develop and sell industrial land plots mainly to enterprises for construction of factories, warehouses and other facilities. The sizes of our industrial plots typically range from 2 acres to 9 acres, with price of individual parcels of land ranging from ₹5 million per acre to ₹30 million per acre. Our land plots, particularly residential plots, are developed with customer-centric approach. Our residential plots are developed with black topped roads, adequate streetlights, walkways, avenue trees, fences and CCTV to ensure customer satisfaction. For industrial plots, our main development work is construction of roads. We sell these plotted developments to our customers.
Our operations are strategically located in and around Chennai, the capital of the State of Tamil Nadu, India. Chennai is one of India's most urbanized cities characterized by a steadily growing population, benefitting from a rich cultural legacy and a moderate coastal climate, making it an attractive place to live (Source: CRISIL Report).

Competitive Strengths An established and reputed developer in Tamil Nadu, particular in and around Chennai, with a strong brand name Chennai, the capital city of Tamil Nadu, is a major economic hub with robust infrastructure and connectivity, making it attractive for industrial and residential developments. Chennai is one of India's most urbanized cities, characterized by a steadily growing population, benefitted from a rich cultural legacy and a moderate coastal. As of 2025, Tamil Nadu has approximately 55% urban population. (Source: CRISIL Report). Between Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2025, the capital values of residential projects in Chennai have grown at a CAGR of 4-9%, reflecting resilience in the market and sustained demand for quality housing, supported by ongoing urban and infrastructure development. On the industrial front, Tamil Nadu is the second largest State economy in India as of Fiscal 2024. (Source: CRISIL Report) Chennai is close to industrial corridors, ports and transportation networks, enhancing appeal to industrial clients. With a well-established automotive and electronics manufacturing base, Chennai has seen sustained demand for Grade A warehousing and industrial spaces, particularly along key corridors such as Oragadam, Sriperumbudur and GST Road. As of Fiscal 2024, Tamil Nadu is the third largest export State in India with a 10% share of India’s overall exports (Source: CRISIL Report).
We have an established presence in residential and industrial plotted developments in Chennai with over 20 years of experience.
As of March 31, 205, we have completed 39 projects in and around Chennai, 21 of which are in the residential segment and 18 of which are in the industrial segment, enabling to establish a strong presence in the niche market. We believe our “Grand Magnum” brand is instantly recognizable among the populace in Chennai, due to our long and established presence in the Chennai plotted developments market.
Furthermore, we believe our reputation and brand image has created a relationship of trust with landowners, our business partners and our customers. Our reputation for clear titles and ethical dealings is a significant advantage, particularly in the industrial land segment which is often plagued by legal uncertainties. We believe we are trusted by HNIs, UHNIs and MNCs for high- value investments, benefiting from a consistent demand for our premium offerings.
Premiumization trend in Chennai’s residential real estate market has accelerated in recent years, with residential properties priced above ₹ 1 Cr. clocking a year-on-year growth of 48-53% in supply in Fiscal 2025. (Source: CRISIL Report). The increasing purchasing power of the upper-middle class, coupled with a preference for gated communities and luxury living, has spurred demand for premium residential properties in prime locations such Adyar, Anna Nagar, and Boat Club Road. (Source: CRISIL Report) We have been targeting middle class and upper-middle class homebuyers in our residential business segment. Our established presence in the Chennai real estate industry enables us to benefit from these premiumization trend in Chennai’s residential real estate market, as well as offers us competitive advantages such as project pricing, regional insights, customer confidence and loyalty and ability to expand our client base.
Large Land Reserves and projects at strategic locations Our Land Reserves are an important component of our business. Our robust land acquisition capabilities developed over two
(2) decades of experience in the plotted development industry allow us to secure prime land and land at strategic locations at competitive prices, often ahead of competition. We have been focusing on acquiring (i) residential land in areas with high- growth potential in and around Chennai and (ii) industrial land in high-demand industrial zones and logistics corridors in and around Chennai. Accordingly, we have accumulated large Land Reserves in areas with high growth potential in and around Chennai, enabling us to establish a strong presence in the niche market. As of March 31, 2025, our land reserves in India stand at 2,672,123 square feet (or 61.34 acres). As of March 31, 2025, 100% of our land reserves are fully paid for. For further details in relation to our Land Reserves, see “Our Business –Our Land Reserves” on page 150.
Land Reserves provide us with the ability to develop projects at strategic locations, which we believe command higher values and growth rates resulting in relatively higher margins. Furthermore, appreciation in the value of our Land Reserves has resulted and, we believe, will result, in higher profit margin for our plotted developments. We believe that our land reserves are sufficient for our intended growth plans in the next year. This, we believe, will protect us against inflation in land prices in the next year.
Accordingly, this strength not only ensures a steady pipeline of projects but also enhances profitability by reducing upfront costs.
Efficient project execution skills with a consumer centric design approach 140We have established a detailed internal system for project development, ensuring effective and organized design and planning procedures and efficient procurement, construction and other execution processes in order to complete projects on time and within budget. We believe these systems facilitate efficient operations and ensure consistent quality across all of our projects, thereby shortening project timelines.
Our team comprises of personnel having experience and expertise in various aspects of the real estate business including land acquisition, obtaining approvals from government authorities, understanding of the local regulations, research and feasibility studies, planning and estimation, and sales and marketing of the projects. In particular, we have developed relationships and have experience in working with regulatory authorities, as well as managing third-party contractors for land development works.
Our ability to navigate complex regulatory environments and liaise with external contractors efficiently is key to an efficient project execution.
Furthermore, our business model adopts a customer-centric approach which focuses on designing and developing our projects that create a greater appeal to our target customers. Our land plots, particularly residential plots, are developed with such customer-centric approach. Our residential plots are developed with black topped roads, adequate streetlights, walkways, avenue trees, fences and CCTV to ensure customer satisfaction.
We believe our efficient project execution skills and focus on customer satisfaction help us to retain customers and attract new customers. Customer goodwill generated from our continued focus on customer satisfaction translates into significant customer referrals that further strengthen our brand and sales.
Business model enabling healthy financial performance Compared to high-rise residential and commercial projects, plotted developments usually require less capital investment and much lower development costs. In addition, plotted development generally have a quicker turnaround time from acquisition to sale, leading to faster returns on investment. Attributed to our business model, we have achieved healthy financial performance in the past.
A summary of our financial performance is as follows: (₹ in millions, unless otherwise stated) Particulars Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023 Revenue from Operations 1,566.58 1,560.00 946.10 EBITDA 1,048.47 782.20 440.88 EBITDA Margin (%) 66.93% 50.14% 46.60% Profit for the year / period (PAT) 845.85 584.21 309.27 PAT Margin (%) 53.99% 37.45% 32.69% Return on Equity (RoE) (%) 35.96% 40.76% 32.44% Debt to Equity Ratio 0.50 0.54 1.18 For a reconciliation of Non-GAAP measures, please see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Position and Results of Operations- Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Financial Measures” on page 273.
We strive to maintain prudent financial management practices to create a resilient and financially stable business model, which has allowed us to perform well in a competitive market. We consistently track several financial measures including our profit margin, return on equity and return on assets. Enhanced profitability and efficient use of shareholder equity and company’s assets have allowed us to maintain a low debt structure, particularly as at March 31, 2025, March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023.
Experienced promoters and management team Our Promoters and senior management team have considerable experience in the Indian real estate industry, which enables us to identify suitable projects for development. Vijay Surana J, our Promoter and Director, has been instrumental in navigating the Company towards higher growth opportunities with over 20 years of experience in the real estate sector. Suyash Surana, our Promoter and Director, has joined our board since 2020 and has, among other things, contributed his specialised knowledge in marketing and digital marketing to enhance our brand image.
In addition to our Promoters, our key management and senior management team includes qualified, experienced and skilled professionals who possess requisite experience across various divisions of our business. We believe that our key management and senior management team is well qualified to leverage our market position with their collective experience and knowledge in their respective professional practice areas as well as our industry, to execute our business strategies and drive our future growth.
141We continue to apply their expertise to drive business growth and strategically pursue new market opportunities. This collective experience equips us to capture the real estate trends, and allows us to identify and develop projects in in the State of Tamil Nadu that caters to the rising demand, by creating offerings that meet and attract evolving customer preferences.
Business Strategies Continue to focus on plotted developments, with an emphasis on the industrial segment We intend to focus on our core business of plotted developments. We believe plotted developments offer faster returns on investment, shorter cash flow cycles, reduce our exposure to commodity inflation and other macro-economic considerations and enhance working capital management. As part of the strategy, we intend to focus our expansion efforts on industrial plotted developments. Set out in the table below are the breakdown of our revenues from operations by residential and industrial segments for Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023:
Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023 Revenue (₹ in % of revenue Revenue (₹ in % of revenue Revenue (₹ in % of revenue Operating segment million) from million) from million) from operations operations operations Residential 908.61 58% 1,326.00 85% 879.87 93% Industrial 657.96 42% 234.00 15% 66.23 7% Total 1,566.58 100.00% 1,560.00 100.00% 946.10 100.00% Since Fiscal 2024, we have increased our business focus on industrial plotted developments. The shift of focus is due to the quicker turnaround time of industrial projects as less development of infrastructure and less government approval is required when compared to residential projects. For projects under the industrial segment, our main land development work is construction of roads and the only governmental approval required is the approval for conversion of land use rights to industrial use. In addition, the profit margins on industrial projects are typically higher than residential projects, as the sizes of land plots for industries use are generally larger than residential land plots and corporate customers are typically more focused on obtaining the land plots on a timely basis and therefore are less price sensitive.
As of March 31, 2025, we have 13 Ongoing Projects and 7 Upcoming Projects, of which 3 Ongoing projects and 2 Upcoming projects are industrial projects. By executing these Ongoing Project and Upcoming Projects, we aim strengthen our leading market position in the plotted development real estate market in Chennai, in particular in the industrial segment. We believe we are well positioned to capture growth potential in Chennai’s real estate market.
Acquiring land in locations having potential for growth We intend to continue acquiring land at strategic locations in India for our projects in order to replenish and augment our Land Reserves. We believe that continuing to acquire additional land in strategic locations at a competitive cost is critical to our ability to develop successful projects.
Areas in and around Chennai will remain our primary focus of land acquisition in the future. According to the CRISIL Report, the supply of residential real estate in Chennai has grown at a CAGR of 40-45% from Fiscal 2021 to Fiscal 2025, reflecting developers’ confidence in the Chennai residential real estate market. According to the CRISIL Report, between Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2025, capital values have risen at a CAGR of 4-9%, reflecting resilience in the market and sustained demand for quality housing, supported by ongoing urban and infrastructure development. Under the residential segment, our plotted developments had been strategically located across key growth corridors including Perungalathur, Poonamallee, Thirumazhisai, Sunguvarchatram Sriperumbudur and Oragadam. These peripheral regions offer a mix of connectivity, infrastructure and investment potential. We intend to continue acquiring residential land plots in these areas.
Under the industrial segment, we intend to continue to acquire industrial land with high growth potential in and around Chennai.
According to the CRISIL Report, over the long-term, the annual demand for Grade A and Grade B warehouses in top eight Indian cities (including Chennai) is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11-16% between Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2029. Industrial activities in Chennai is expected to be driven by its strong manufacturing ecosystem, with a robust automotive and electronics sectors, strategic location and connectivity and growth of third-party logistics providers and e-commence, all driving demand for large-scale warehouses, logistics and industrial spaces. (Source: CRISIL Report) Within Chennai, we intend to target industrial areas in vicinity of industrial ecosystem, near key transportation hubs with potentials for large-scale logistics parks and warehousing facilities, to cater to the growing e-commerce and manufacturing sector. In particular, we intend to focus our expansion efforts under the industrial segment in Sengadu, Mappedu, Koppur, Araneri and Illuppur regions. These regions are 142situated within Kanchipuram District in Chennai, which is strategically located along the Chennai-Bangalore Highway —a major industrial corridor in South India. These regions’ proximity to the proposed airport at Parandhur is an added strategic advantage.
As of March 31, 2025, our Land Reserves include 16.15 acres of land in Illupur, 12.08 acres of land in Mudugur and 7.93 acres of land in Udayavar Kovil.
Enhancing our operations by adopting and implementing modern technology We are on a constant basis to enhance our capability and operation efficiency by adapting to various technologies. We use advanced software for land zoning, computer aided designing (CAD) for plot layout, as well as artificial intelligence to evaluate growth potential for different geographic areas. We intend to enhance digital capabilities across the organization, from project management to customer engagement. This includes implementing advanced CRM systems, AI-driven analytics for market research and online platforms for property transactions.
In addition, we intend to invest in or partner with property technology companies that offer innovative solutions like virtual reality property tours, AI-driven property valuation, and blockchain for secure and transparent transactions.
We believe this modern technology will enhance our operational efficiency as well as our customer experience and satisfaction.
We intend to continuously monitor market trends, customer preferences, and competitor activities using advanced analytics to stay ahead of industry shifts.
Enhance our brand and strengthen our relationships with customers We intend to enhance our brand by launching aggressive marketing campaigns highlighting our trade record, transparency and focus on customer satisfaction. We intend to utilize social media platforms and content marketing to showcase success stories, upcoming projects and industry insights, while refreshing our brand to appeal to a younger and technologically proficient audience. We also intend to implement loyalty and referral programs for existing clients to encourage repeat investments and build long-term relationships Business Operations We are a real estate developer in India primarily focussing on plotted developments in the State of Tamil Nadu, particularly in and around Chennai. As part of our business, we acquire parcels of land and built basic infrastructure on the land, such as roads, power connections, sewage, water supply thereby converting it into developable land. We also have worked to acquire contiguous parcels of land in some cases to create a larger area more economically viable for further development. Our land plots, particularly residential plots, are developed with customer-centric approach. Our residential plots are developed with black topped roads, adequate streetlights, walkways, avenue trees, fences and CCTV to ensure customer satisfaction. For industrial plots, our main development work is construction of roads. We sell these plotted developments to our customers. Our plotted developments are strategically located across key growth corridors of Chennai, offering a mix of connectivity, infrastructure and investment potential.

Our Project Development Cycle
The following flowchart summarizes the general process we undertake from commencement to completion of a project:
150Residential Projects Industrial Projects Idenfication of land Identification of land Project feasibility, cost analyssis Project feasibility, cost analysis and legal due diligence and legal due diligence Land acquisition Land acquisition Conversion of land use to Obtaining regulatory approval industrial
Development of land: roads and RERA registration electricity
Development of the land: raods, water drain systems, electricity Marekting and advertising and other amenities Marketing and advertising Sales Sales Although this flowchart reflects the general sequence of project execution, a number of functions overlap in the process to ensure seamless implementation of the development and construction of a project. Depending on its size, it generally takes from nine
(9) to twelve (12) months to complete a residential project and four (4) to seven (7) months to complete an industrial project, from identification of a site to sales.
Our projects generally are financed with equity contributions from our shareholders, unsecured loans from related parties, internally generated funds and, in some cases, NBFC borrowings secured by the particular project for which funds are being borrowed.
Identification of lands The project development process starts with identification of location. We rely on the experience of our senior management to evaluate the potential of a site. In addition, as of March 31, 2025, we have an operation team of 11 employees dedicated to continuously seeking developable lands in desirable locations for our residential and industrial projects. We leverage our team's expertise and insights to areas that align with our strategic objectives and offer promising growth potential. This multi- disciplinary team uses internally generated demographic data, third party reports, discussions with regulatory authorities and customer feedback to identify potential sites in and around Chennai.
Project feasibility analysis Once potential lands are identified, we undertake site visits and extensive feasibility studies, which include detailed analyses of the following factors, among others: • regional demographics, including per capita disposable incomes and area growth prospects;
• suitability of the site for the proposed project; • feasibility of basic infrastructure development and quality of existing area infrastructure; • the costs for basic infrastructure development and potential pricing of plots once developed.
151• other financial viability of the project; • regulatory and compliance issues, including restrictions and limitations on the land, approvals and consents required from government authorities; • title searches and related legal due diligence;
• environmental issues; and • market trends.
Based on the above analysis, our senior management team then makes a final decision with respect to the financial feasibility and scope of each project to be undertaken by us on the proposed site, including for example, number and sizes of plots on the proposed site.
We strive to secure land that offer the greatest potential for value appreciation and profitability. By combining our in-depth market knowledge, rigorous analysis, and strategic approach, we are able to identify and acquire prime lands that align with our long-term goals and contribute to our continued success in the real estate industry.
Acquisition of lands After a decision has been made to proceed with an acquisition of land, we take the necessary steps to acquire the land. We enter into negotiations with a seller of land in order to reach a preliminary acquisition agreement, usually memorialized in a memorandum of understanding. Where large tracts of land are required to be purchased from various land owners in an identified area, we may appoint intermediaries to assist with the acquisition where required. However, we generally do not finalize the acquisition until we have completed our due diligence on the land. We endeavour to obtain valid title to our lands and we will not acquire land until we are satisfied that all title defects have been rectified or are in the advanced stages of being removed.
Whenever possible, we obtain legal opinions that confirm our title to the land purchased from third parties.
Typically, acquisition of land is finalized through sale deeds.
Project planning/design and obtaining regulatory approvals Once we have identified a suitable site and completed a preliminary agreement for the acquisition of land, our design & planning team begins the process of designing the project and submitting the project plans for regulatory approval. The legal regimes governing land development vary across geographic regions in India. For residential projects within the Chennai Metropolitan Area, approvals or permissions from CMDA, RERA and Panchayat union are required. For residential projects outside the metropolitan limits of Chennai, approvals or permissions from the Directorate of Town and Country Planning (DTCP), RERA and Panchayat union are required. RERA registrations, which require submissions of project details, layout plans, and other legal documents to ensure transparency and consumer protection, are also required for our residential projects. For industrial projects, we must obtain the approval for conversion of land use rights to industrial use.
Moreover, with the introduction of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, the regulatory landscape for land development in India is continuously evolving. To ensure strict adherence to these regulations, we have dedicated personnels in place. We have an experienced liaison team of professionals whose function is to obtain approvals from various statutory authorities.
Generally, depending upon the size and complexity of a project, it takes approximately two (2) to six (6) months to complete the planning and design phase and to obtain all necessary approvals and permits required to commence work.
Development of land At this stage, we develop the land acquired in accordance with finalized plans approved by the relevant government authorities.
Typically, for our residential projects, we develop basic infrastructure on the land, including roads, electricity, water, sewage and streetlights. In addition, we may also develop parks on the land, as amenities to the residential site. Our residential plots are developed with customer-centric approach. Plots are developed with black topped roads, , adequate streetlights, walkways, avenue trees, fences and CCTV to ensure customer satisfaction. For our industrial projects, we typically develop basic infrastructure on the land, such as roads.
During this stage, we engage contractors to undertake certain of the development work, such as land levelling, fencing and road construction. We generally engage contractors with whom we have relationships. We use multiple contractors and we believe we would have no difficulty replacing a particular contractor if necessary.
152Our operations team oversees every stage of the development process, with the assistance of our quality assurance personnel (whom are part of the operations team) monitoring the quality of all our Ongoing Projects. Their responsibilities encompass managing site operations, coordinating the efforts of external contractors and suppliers, maintaining stringent quality and cost controls, and ensuring strict adherence to relevant regulations.
The development work is undertaken in accordance with the approved plan. On completion of the entire development activity, a final inspection may be conducted by RERA and a confirmation on the completion of the project will be issued.
Marketing and sales When the development work is fully completed, the project is kept open for sale. We have a marketing team and a sales team consisting of an aggregate of 10 professionals as of March 31, 2025. Members of this team are involved from project commencement, assisting with the identification of lands to be acquired and analyzing the economic viability of a project. We believe this involvement from the beginning of the process ensures that we properly identify appropriate types of development opportunities and tailor our pricing to fit the relevant markets. Different projects are targeted at different consumer sectors. Our sales team will reach out to clients whose preference align with our projects. For example, we will target manufacturing companies for industrial plots suitable to construct warehouses and manufacturing facilities.
We employ various marketing approaches depending on whether the project is residential or industrial and types of our target customers for such project. These marketing approaches include launch events, corporate presentations, web marketing, direct and indirect marketing, as well as newspaper and outdoor advertising. Our marketing and sales teams sell our residential projects both directly to customers and through business associates. We have relationships with various banks and housing finance companies which provides our customers with convenient access to financing for our residential plots.
By leveraging advanced market research, we pinpoint individuals or businesses that are likely to benefit from our offerings. This strategic outreach ensures that our efforts are focused on building meaningful relationships with clients who are most likely to become loyal customers, and contributes to our sustained growth. Customer goodwill generated from our continued focus on customer satisfaction translates into significant customer referrals.
At completion of the sales, we convey the title of the land plots to the customers upon the completion of the project. We generally ensure that the entire consideration is paid to us prior to the transfer of title.
Competition Despite the persistent fragmentation, the real estate industry continues to remain highly competitive. We face competition from developers having plotted development sales and having presence in similar real estate markets. Such developers include Sameera Estates Private Limited, S&P Foundation Private Limited and Elephantine Enterprises Private Limited. (Source: CRISIL Report) We also face competition from various small unorganized operations in the residential segment.
We may in the future face competition from larger regional or foreign real estate developers now operating in, or who enter, the Indian market.
Employees Our employees form the cornerstone of our organization, creating the dynamic workforce that drives growth, innovation, and success. As of March 31, 2025, we had 64 permanent employees.

We are also subject to force majeure events such as fires, earthquakes, floods and explosions, including hazards that may cause injury and loss of life, damage to property and equipment.
We carry motor car insurance and health insurance for our employees. We do not carry separate insurances for each project. See “Risk Factors – Internal Risks - We may not have sufficient insurance coverage to cover our economic losses as well as certain other risks, not covered in our insurance policies, which could adversely affect business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition” on page 40.
Information Technology Information technology and digital services are indispensable to our efficient operations. We make extensive use of information and communication technologies for the execution and management of our projects. For example, we implemented a customized enterprise resource package software system to integrate systems among our departments, enabling us to streamline our processes while enhancing our monitoring and control functions. We use customer relationship management (CRM) software to implement effective customer management. In addition, we use specialized software for different functions, such as accounting, sales and marketing and telesales.

155KEY REGULATIONS AND POLICIES IN INDIA The following description is a summary of certain key statutes, rules, regulations, notifications, memorandums, circulars and policies which are applicable to our Company, and the business undertaken by our Company. The information detailed in this
section has been obtained from sources available in the public domain and is based on the current provisions of Indian law and the judicial, regulatory, and administrative interpretations thereof, which are subject to change or modification by subsequent legislative actions, regulatory, administrative, quasi-judicial, or judicial decisions. The regulations set out below may not be exhaustive and are only intended to provide general information to the investors and are neither designed nor intended to substitute professional legal advice.
Under the provisions of various Central Government and State Government statutes and legislations, our Company is required to obtain and regularly renew certain licenses or registrations and to seek statutory permissions to conduct our business and operations. For details, please see “Government and Other Approvals” on page 300.
Industry specific legislations Central Legislations Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (“RERA”) and the rules framed thereunder RERA mandates that promoters of a real estate project can only market the project if it is registered with the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (“Authority”) established under RERA. It also requires all projects that are ongoing and for which completion certificate has not been issued to be registered. It also mandates the functions and duties of the promoters including that the promoters must park 70% of all project receivables in a separate account. Drawdown from such account is permitted for land and construction costs only, in proportion to the percentage of project completion (as certified by an architect, an engineer and a chartered accountant). Further, a promoter can accept only up to 10% of the apartment cost prior to entering into a written agreement for sale with any person. Further, the promoter is prohibited from creating any charge or encumbrance on any apartment after executing an agreement for the same. In the event such charge or encumbrance is created, it will not affect the right and interest of the allottee. Further, the promoter shall not transfer or assign his majority rights and liabilities in respect of a real estate project to a third party without obtaining permission of two-third of the allottees and prior written approval of the Authority. It is required that a promoter obtain all insurances in respect of the real estate projects such as insurance in respect of title of land and construction.
Moreover, non-registration of a real estate project as per RERA would result in penalties up to 10% of the estimated cost of the project as determined by the Authority. Contravention of any other provision of RERA or order issues by the Authority may result in penalties up to 5% of estimated cost of the project or imprisonment up to three years or both. Further, the promoter’s contravention or failure to comply with any order of the Appellate Tribunal formed under RERA will result in imprisonment for a term extending to three years or with a fine further up to ten percent of the estimated cost of the project, or both.
Additionally, if the promoter fails to give possession of the apartment, plot or building in accordance with the terms of agreement for sale, or due to discontinuance of business or suspension or revocation of registration under RERA, he must return the amount received from the allottee, along with interest and compensation as provided under RERA. Any delay in handing over possession would also require the promoter to pay interest for every month of delay. In case there is a defect in the title of the land due to which the allottees suffer loss, then the promoter is liable to compensate the allottees for such loss.
We are also required to comply with rules, regulations and orders issued under RERA by the state Government where our properties are situated. For instance, the Tamil Nadu Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Rules, 2017, Tamil Nadu Real Estate Regulatory Authority (General) Regulations, 2018.
Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Act, 1976 (“ULCA”) The ULCA prescribes the limits to urban areas that can be acquired by a single entity. The ULCA allows the government to take over a person’s property and fixes ceilings on vacant and urban land. Under the ULCA, excess vacant land is required to be surrendered to a competent authority for a minimum level of compensation. Alternatively, the competent authority has been empowered to allow the land to be developed for permitted purposes. Even though the ULCA has been repealed, it remains in force in certain States like Haryana, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Orissa and the Union Territories.
The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 (“Land 156Acquisition Act, 2013”) and the rules framed thereunder The Land Acquisition Act, 2013 provides for the procedure to be undertaken when the government seeks to acquire land in any area for a public purpose including carrying out a social assessment study to determine inter alia whether the acquisition would serve a public purpose. It also provides for compensation to be provided in lieu of the land acquired. The compensation is determined by taking into consideration the market value of the land, damage sustained by interested persons, and consequence of the acquisition on the person. We are also required to comply with the rules and regulations issued under Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement (Amendment) Second Ordinance, 2015.
Transfer of Property Act, 1882 (“TP Act”) The TP Act establishes the general principles relating to the transfer of property in India. It deals with the various methods in which transfer of immovable property including transfer of any interest in relation to that property takes place. The TP Act stipulates the general principles relating to the transfer of property including, among other things, identifying the categories of property that are capable of being transferred, the persons competent to transfer property, the validity of restrictions and conditions imposed on the transfer and the creation of contingent and vested interest in the property. It also provides for the rights and liabilities of the vendor and purchaser and the lessor and lessee in a transaction for the sale or lease of property, as the case may be. The TP Act also covers provisions with respect to mortgage of the property.
Registration Act, 1908 (“Registration Act”) The Registration Act requires the registration of documents, including compulsory registration of documents relating to the immovable property. A document must be registered within four months from the date of is execution and must be registered with the office of sub -registrar, within whose sub-district the whole or some portion of the immovable property is situated. A document will not affect the immovable property comprised in it, nor be treated as evidence of any transaction affecting such immovable property (except as evidence of a contract in a suit for specific performance or as evidence of part performance under the TP Act or as collateral), unless it has been registered.
Indian Stamp Act, 1899 (“Stamp Act”) The Stamp Act requires stamp duty to be paid on all instruments specified in Scheduled I of the Stamp Act.

Indian Easements Act, 1882 (“Easement Act”) The Easement Act codifies easements in India, including the nature of easements as continuous or discontinuous and apparent or non-apparent. Under the Easement Act, an easement may be imposed by any person in the circumstances and to the extent to which he may transfer his interest in the property. Once an easement is obtained, a person may enjoy the property in respect of which it is granted. An easement is a right which the owner or occupier of land possesses for the beneficial enjoyment of that land, and which permits him to do or to prevent something from being done, in or upon, other land not his own. Under the Easements Act, a license is defined as a right to use property without any interest in favour of the licensee. The period and incident may be revoked and grounds for the same may be provided in the license agreement entered in between the licensee and the licensor.
State Legislations Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning Act, 1971 (“TNTCP Act”) The TNTCP Act provides for planning and development with respect to rural and urban land situated in Tamil Nadu. Under the provisions of the TNTCP Act, the state government may identify certain areas in Tamil Nadu as regional planning areas and new development areas to be developed under the administration of regional planning authorities. The Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority has been constituted under the provisions of the TNTCP Act for the purpose of development and planning of such regional planning areas. It stipulates that after such land has come into the operation of any development plan prepared by the relevant planning authority, no person other than any state government, the central government or any local authority, shall use or develop the land other than in conformity with the development plan without prior consent of the regional planning authority. Further, pursuant to the G.O.M.S.No.169, Industries (MIE2) Department dated September 12, 1996, entrepreneurs can begin construction without waiting for approvals required to commence construction, subject to submission 157of an application certified by a chartered architect or a civil engineer registered with the relevant local governing body, confirming that the plan complies with all rules and regulations, including zoning regulations under the TNTCP Act.

Developers are required to register projects with the Tamil Nadu Real Estate Regulatory Authority (TNRERA) before advertising or collecting advance payments. The regulations also mandate periodic updates on project progress and compliance with approved plans.
Further, they provide for dispute resolution mechanisms and impose penalties for non-compliance, ensuring transparency and accountability in real estate transactions.
Tamil Nadu Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Rules 2017 The Tamil Nadu Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Rules 2017 regulate the registration of real estate projects and real estate agents, disclosure norms for ongoing projects, withdrawal from separate accounts, and extension and revocation of registrations.

Tamil Nadu Land Reforms (Fixation of ceiling of land) Act, 1961 The Tamil Nadu Land Reforms (Fixation of Ceiling on Land) Act, 1961 was enacted to fix a ceiling on agricultural land holdings in order to reduce disparity in ownership and promote social and economic justice. The ceiling area for a family consisting of not more than five members is 15 standard acres, with an additional 5 standard acres allowed for each member exceeding five, subject to a maximum of 30 standard acres. “Surplus land” refers to land held in excess of the ceiling area and is to be acquired and distributed to the landless. Public trusts of a charitable nature and educational institutions existing on the date of commencement may hold land within prescribed limits. Lands held by religious institutions or religious trusts of a public nature existing on the commencement date are exempt from the Act, but such institutions cannot acquire land thereafter. The “standard acre” is defined based on the nature of the land and revenue assessment, including specific conversions for wet and dry lands.
The total extent of land held by members of a family is aggregated for ceiling calculation. The Act overrides any inconsistent laws, customs, contracts, or court orders.
Tamil Nadu Land Encroachment Act, 1905 The Tamil Nadu Land Encroachment Act, 1905 was enacted to provide measures for checking unauthorized occupation of lands which are "the property of Government". All public roads, streets, lanes, water bodies, and all lands, wherever situated, save in so far as the same are the property of private persons as defined, are hereby declared to be "the property of Government". Any person who shall unauthorizedly occupy any land which is "the property of Government" shall be liable to pay by way of assessment and, at the discretion of the Collector or subject to his control, the Tahsildar or Deputy Tahsildar, a penalty. Forfeiture of crops or buildings may be ordered, and such person may be summarily evicted. Payment of assessment under this Act shall not confer any right of occupancy. The amount of assessment and penalty shall be recoverable as arrears of land revenue.
Environmental legislations Environment Protection Act, 1986 (“EP Act”) and the Environment Protection Rules, 1986 (“EP Rules”) read with the Environmental Impact Assessment Notification, 2006 (“EIA Notification”) The EP Act has been enacted with the objective of protection and improvement of the environment and for matters connected therewith. As per the EP Act, the Central Government has been given the power to take all such measures for the purpose of protecting and improving the quality of the environment and to prevent, control and abate environmental pollution. Further, the Central Government has been given the power to give directions in writing to any person or officer or any authority for any of the purposes of the EP Act, including the power to direct the closure, prohibition or regulation of any industry, operation, or process.

Tax laws Income Tax Act, 1961 (the “Income Tax Act”) The Income Tax Act deals with the taxation of individuals, corporates, partnership firms and others. As per the provisions of Income Tax Act, the rates at which entities are required to pay tax is calculated on the income declared by them or assessed by the authorities, after availing the deductions and concessions accorded under the Act. The maintenance of books of accounts and relevant supporting documents and registers are mandatory under the same. Filing of returns of income is compulsory for all assesses.
Professional Tax The professional tax slabs in India are applicable to those citizens of India who are either involved in any profession or trade.
The respective State Governments are empowered to structure, formulate, and collect professional tax under their jurisdiction.
The tax levied on the incomes of individuals, profits of businesses, and gains from vocations, is in accordance with List II of the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution of India. Professional tax is categorized under various tax slabs as defined by the respective State Governments. Under the applicable State Acts, employers are required to deduct the professional tax payable by any person earning a salary or wage from their remuneration before disbursing it. Employers are responsible for remitting the tax, regardless of whether the deduction has been made, and must obtain registration from the assessing authority in the prescribed manner.
Additionally, individuals liable to pay professional tax under these Acts, other than those earning salaries or wages (for whom the employer is responsible for tax payment), are required to obtain a certificate of enrolment from the assessing authority.
Intellectual property laws The Trade Marks Act, 1999 (“Trade Marks Act”) The Trade Marks Act governs the statutory protection of trademarks and prohibits any use of deceptively similar trademarks, among others. The purpose of the Trade Marks Act is to grant exclusive rights to marks such as a brand, label and heading, and to obtain relief in case of infringement of registered trademarks. Indian law permits the registration of trademarks for both goods and services. Under the provisions of the Trademarks Act, an application for trademark registration may be made before the Trademark Registry by any person claiming to be the proprietor of a trademark, whether individual or joint applicants, and can be made on the basis of either actual use or intention to use a trademark in the future. Once granted, a trademark registration is valid for 10 years unless cancelled, subsequent to which, it can be renewed. If not renewed, the mark lapses and the registration are required to be restored. Further, pursuant to the notification of the Trademarks (Amendment) Act, 2010 (“Trademark Amendment Act”) simultaneous protection of trademarks in India and other countries has been made available to owners of Indian and foreign trademarks. The Trademark Amendment Act also seeks to simplify the law relating to transfer of ownership of trademarks by assignment or transmission and to conform Indian trademark law to international practice.
Foreign investment laws 160Foreign Exchange Regulations Foreign investment in Indian securities is governed by the provisions of the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999, as amended (“FEMA”) read with the applicable Foreign Exchange Management (Non-Debt Instruments) Rules, 2019 as amended (“FEM Rules”). FEMA replaced the erstwhile Foreign Exchange Regulation Act, 1973. Foreign investment is permitted (except in the prohibited sectors) in Indian companies, either through the automatic route or the government approval route, depending upon the sector in which foreign investment is sought to be made. The DPIIT makes policy pronouncements on FDI through press notes and press releases which are notified by the RBI as amendments to the FEM Rules. In case of any conflict, the FEM Rules prevail. Therefore, the regulatory framework, over a period of time consists of acts, regulations, press notes, press releases, and clarifications among other amendments. The DPIIT issued the FDI Policy which consolidates the policy framework on FDI issued by DPIIT, in force on October 15, 2020, and reflects the FDI policy as on October 15, 2020 (“FDI Policy”). The FDI Policy consolidates and subsumes all the press notes, press releases, and clarifications on FDI issued by DPIIT. Under the current FDI Policy, foreign direct investment in companies engaged in construction-development projects (including development of townships, construction of residential/ commercial premises, roads or bridges, hotels, resorts, hospitals, educational institutions, recreational facilities, city and regional level infrastructure and townships) is permitted up to 100% under the automatic route subject to compliance with prescribed conditions. In this Offer, foreign investment is limited to investments by FPIs and NRIs.

Information Technology Act, 2000 (“IT Act”) and the rules framed thereunder The IT Act and the rules thereunder, seek to (i) provide legal recognition to transactions carried out by various means of electronic data interchange involving alternatives to paper-based methods of communication and information storage; (ii) facilitate electronic filing of documents; (iii) create a mechanism for the authentication of electronic documentation through digital signatures; and (iv) support e-governance initiative by legally recognising electronic records and electronic signatures and authorizing their use in Government and its agencies.
The IT Act provides for extraterritorial jurisdiction over any offence or contravention under the IT Act committed outside India by any person, irrespective of their nationality, if the act or conduct constituting the offence or contravention involves a computer, computer system or computer network located in India. The IT Act facilitates electronic commerce by recognizing contracts concluded through electronic means, protects intermediaries in respect of third-party information liability, subject to certain conditions, and creates liability for failure to implement and maintain reasonable security practices in relation to handling and protecting sensitive personal data. The IT Act also prescribes civil and criminal liability including fines and imprisonment for computer related offences including those relating to unauthorized access to computer systems, tampering with or unauthorised manipulation of any computer, computer system or computer network and, damaging computer systems. The IT Act also empowers the Government of India to intercept, monitor or decrypt any information in the furtherance of sovereignty, integrity, defence and security of India. The IT Act empowers the Government of India to formulate rules with respect to electronic signatures, reasonable security practices and procedures and sensitive personal data.
In exercise of this power, the Department of Electronics and Information Technology under the Ministry of Communications & Information Technology, Government of India, promulgated the Use of Electronic Records and Digital Signatures Rules, 2004, Digital Signature (End Entity) Rules, 2015, and Information Technology (Certifying Authorities) Rules, 2000. These rules govern the issuance and creation of digital and electronic signatures, their verification, and issuance of license to issue digital signature certificates.
The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (“DPDP Act”) The DPDP Act was enacted by the Parliament on August 11, 2023. The DPDP Act has replaced the existing data protection provision (Section 43A) of the IT Act. The Act seeks to balance the rights of individuals to protect their personal data with the need to process personal data for lawful and other incidental purposes. All data fiduciaries, who determine the purpose and means of processing personal data, are mandated to provide an itemised notice in plain and clear language containing a description of the personal data sought to be collected along with the purpose of processing such data. The DPDP Act further provides that where consent is the basis of processing personal data, the data principal providing the consent, may withdraw such consent at any time. Data principals will have the right to demand the erasure and correction of data collected by the data fiduciary, the right to information about personal data and, register grievances with a data fiduciary. Any data processed prior to such withdrawal shall be considered lawful.
The Act introduces the concept of ‘deemed consent’ in instances where the data principal provides personal data (i) to the data fiduciary voluntarily, (ii) for performance of function under any law, or service or benefit to the data principal, (iii) in compliance with a judgment or order, (iv) responding to medical emergency involving threat to life or immediate threat to health of the data 161principal, (v) for provision of medical treatment or health services during an epidemic, outbreak of diseases or any other public threat to public health, (vi) for taking measures to ensure safety during any disaster or any breakdown of public order,
(vii) for purposes related to employment including prevention of corporate espionage, maintenance of confidentiality of trade secrets, intellectual property, classified information, recruitment, termination of employee, (viii) in public interest as defined in the Bill, or (ix) for fair and reasonable purpose.
It further imposes certain obligations on data fiduciaries including (i) implementation of technical and organisational measures to ensure compliance, (ii) adopting reasonable security safeguards to prevent personal data breach, (iii) ensuring that personal data processed is accurate and complete, (iv) informing the Data Protection Board of India (the “Data Protection Board”) regarding any personal data breach, (v) deleting or removing personal data no longer in use or necessary for legal or business purposes, (vi) publishing the business contact information of the data protection officer, (vii) implementing a grievance redressal mechanism to redress grievances of data principals, and (viii) processing of data under a valid contract.
The Act provides for the rights and duties to be complied with the data principals. The Bill provides for exclusive jurisdiction of grievances to the Data Protection Board, with a recourse to alternative dispute resolution mechanisms. Any form of non- compliance shall attract financial penalty as prescribed in Schedule I of the Act.
Other Legislations Additionally, we are required to comply with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and the relevant rules, regulations, and orders framed thereunder, the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, Indian Contract Act, 1872, Indian Partnership Act, 1932, Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008, the Specific Relief Act, 1963, are applicable to us.

The accounting policies have been consistently applied by the Group in preparation of the Restated Financial Statements.
These Statements have been prepared by the Management for the purpose of preparation of the restated consolidated summary statements for filling by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (“SEBI”), BSE limited and National Stock exchange of India Limited (collectively the stock exchanges ) and the registrar of companies in connection with its proposed Initial Public Offering (IPO) of equity shares of face value of INR 5 each of the Company comprising a fresh issue of equity shares and an offer for sale of equity shares held by the selling shareholders (collectively, the “Offering”) These Restated Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared to comply in all material respects

c) The Guidance Note on Reports in Company Prospectuses (Revised 2019) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (“ICAI”), as amended from time to time (the “Guidance Note”).
The Restated Consolidated Financial Statements have been compiled by the Management
from: a) Special purpose financial statements of the Group as at the year ended 31 March, 2025, 2024 and 2023 prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (referred to as “IND AS”) as prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules 2015, as amended, and presentation requirements of Division II of Schedule III of Companies Act, 2013, as applicable to Consolidated Financial Statements and other accounting principles generally accepted in India (hereafter referred as “Consolidated Financial Statements”), which have been approved by the Board of Directors at their meetings held on 25th September 2025.
217c. Basis of Measurement The Financial Statements have been prepared in Going concern basis and on an accrual method of accounting. Historical cost is used in preparation of Financial Statements except
for the following items which are measured at Fair value: i) Certain Financial assets and liabilities ii) Net Defined benefit (Asset)/ Liability d. Functional and Presentation currency The Financial Statements are presented in Indian Rupees (INR), which is the Company’s functional currency. All financial information presented in INR has been rounded to the nearest lakhs, except as stated otherwise.
e. Use of estimates and management judgement The preparation of Financial Statements in conformity with the accounting policies requires the management to make estimates and assumption considered in the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) and the reported income and expenses during the year. The Management believes that the estimates used in preparation of the Financial Statements are prudent and reasonable. Future results could differ due to these estimates and the differences between the actual results and the estimates are recognised in the periods in which the results are known/materialize.
Note 1B Material accounting policies A Summary of material accounting policies applied in the preparation of Financial Statements is given below. These accounting policies have been applied consistently to all the periods presented in the Financial Statements.
a. Property, Plant and Equipment i. Initial and Subsequent Recognition:
All items of Property, Plant and equipment (PPE) are measured at Historical cost, which includes capitalised borrowing cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, if any.
On transition to IND AS, the company has elected to adopt the cost model i.e., cost less accumulated depreciation for all of its Property, Plant and Equipment as at 1st April, 2022.
The Property, Plant and equipment of the Company are physically verified in a phased manner to cover all the items of PPE over a period of three years, which in the Management's opinion, is reasonable having regard to the size of the Company and the nature of its assets.
Property, Plant and Equipment are capitalized when the assets are ready for their intended use and when occupancy certificate is received in respect of immovable properties.
218The estimated useful lives of assets are as follows:
Category of assets Estimated useful life (in years) Buildings 30 Furniture & Fixtures 10 Vehicles 8 Office Equipment 5 Computers 3 ii. Depreciation Depreciation is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight – line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Company will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term.
Depreciation on additions to/ deductions from property, plant and equipment during the year is charged on pro – rata basis from/ up to the month in which the asset is available for use/ disposed. iii. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets:
On transition to IND AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all its intangible assets recognised as at 1st April, 2022, measured at previous GAAP, and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of such intangible assets.
Software which is not an integral part of related hardware, is treated as intangible asset and amortised over a period five years or its license period, whichever is less.
On Transition to IND AS the company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all intangible assets recognised as at 1st April, 2022 measured as per the previous GAAP and use the carrying value as deemed cost.
iv. Leases:
The Group assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
The Group applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for shortterm leases and leases of low-value assets. The Group recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.
The Group recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less 219any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. The company majorly enters into lease contracts for Buildings.
Lease Liabilities At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable.
The lease payments includes fixed payments (including in substance fixed payments less any incentives receivable variable lease payments and amount payable under residual value guarantees). After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.
Short Term Leases or Leases for Low Value Assets The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option) and lease of low value assets.
b. Cash Flow Statement Cash flow statement is prepared in accordance with the indirect method prescribed in IND AS 7 “Cash Flow Statement”. c. Prior Period Errors Material prior period errors are corrected retrospectively by restating the comparative amounts for the prior periods presented in which the error occurred. If the error occurred before the earliest period presented, the opening balances of assets, liabilities, and equity for the earliest period presented, are restated.
d. Income Tax
1.) Current Tax Current tax is the amount of expected tax payable based on the taxable profit for the year as determined in accordance with the applicable tax rates and the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
2202.) Defferred Tax Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except: a) When the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill b) In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, when the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. In addition, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting year and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realised, or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity). Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.
e. Revenue recognition i) Sale of Property The Company derives revenues primarily from sale of properties comprising of commercial/residential units and sale of plotted and other lands.
The Company recognises revenue when it determines the satisfaction of performance obligations at a point in time and subsequently over time when the Company has enforceable right for payment for performance completed to date. Revenue is recognised upon transfer of control of promised products to customer in an amount that reflects the transaction price i.e. consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products.
221In arrangements for sale of units the Company has applied the guidance in IND AS 115, on “Revenue from contracts with customers”, by applying the revenue recognition criteria for each distinct performance obligation. The arrangements with customers generally meet the criteria for considering sale of units as distinct performance obligations.
ii) Other Income Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the group and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.
f. Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive), as a result of past events, and it is probable that an outflow of resources, that can be reliably estimated, will be required to settle such an obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material). When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably g. Borrowing Cost Borrowing costs, allocated to and utilized for qualifying assets, pertaining to the period from commencement of activities relating to construction/development of the qualifying asset up to the date of capitalization of such asset is added to the cost of the assets. Borrowing costs include interest, amortization of ancillary costs incurred. Costs in connection with the borrowing of funds to the extent not directly related to the acquisition of qualifying assets are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss over the tenure of the loan. Capitalization of borrowing costs is suspended and charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss during extended periods when active development activity on the qualifying assets is interrupted.
h. Inventories Company’s inventory includes only the cost of land and other attributable expenses in acquiring and developing the land. Inventories are valued at their cost or net realisable value whichever is lower.
222i. Impairment of Non – Financial Assets The carrying amount of Company’s Non – financial Assets are reviewed at each reported date to determine whether there is an indication of impairment ‘considering the provisions of IND AS 36 “Intangible Assets”.
Impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of the assets or its Cash Generating Units (CGU) exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in Profit and Loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of CGUs are reduced from the carrying amounts of the assets of the CGU.
Non-Financial assets that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.
Impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists.
An Impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the assets carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.
j. Earnings per share Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing the net profit/loss after tax attributable to the equity shareholders of the company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit/loss after tax attributable to the equity shareholders of the company as adjusted for dividend, interest and other charges to expense or income relating to the dilutive potential equity shares, by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and the weighted average number of equity shares which could have been issued on the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
k. Provisions and Contingent Liabilities A provision is recognized when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. Provisions (excluding retirement benefits) are not discounted to their present values and are determined based on the best estimate required to settle the obligations at the Balance Sheet date. These are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the Financial Statements and are disclosed in the Notes. A Contingent asset is neither recognized nor disclosed in the Financial Statements.
223l. Business Combination As part of the transition to IND AS, the company has decided to apply the IND AS 103, Business combinations, to only those business combinations that occurred on or after 1st April, 2015.
In respect of Business combinations, prior to 1st April, 2015, goodwill represents the amount recognised under the company’s previous accounting framework under Indian GAAP and the same is tested annually for impairment.
m. Financial Instruments All Financial Assets and Liabilities are recognised and measured initially at fair value adjusted by transaction cost, except for those carried at fair value through Profit or Loss which are measured initially at fair value. For the purpose of subsequent measurement, Financial Assets
are classified into following categories upon initial recognition: Amortised cost Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) Financial assets at fair value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI) Financial assets Amortised Cost A financial asset is measured at amortised cost using effective interest rates if both of the
following conditions are met: a) the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and b) the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other receivables fall into this category of financial instruments.
Financial assets at FVTPL Financial assets at FVTPL include financial assets that either do not meet the criteria for amortised cost classification or are equity instruments held for trading or that meet certain conditions and are designed at FVTPL upon initial recognition. All derivative financial instruments also fall into this category. Assets in this category are measured at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit and loss. The fair values of financial assets in this category are determined by reference to active market transactions or using a valuation technique where no active market exists.
Financial assets at FVOCI FVOCI financial assets are either debt instruments that are managed under hold to collect and sell business model or are non – trading equity instruments that are designated to this category. FVOCI financial assets are measured at fair value. Gains and losses are 224recognised in Other Comprehensive Income, except for interest and dividend income and foreign exchange differences on monetary assets, which are recognised in statement of profit and loss.
Derecognition of Financial Assets The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.
Impairment The Group applies the expected credit loss model for recognising impairment loss on financial assets measured at amortised cost, debt instruments at FVTOCI, lease receivables, trade receivables, and other contractual rights to receive cash or other financial asset, and financial guarantees not designated as at FVTPL. Expected credit losses are the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of default occurring as the weights. Credit loss is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Group in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive (i.e. all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original effective interest rate (or credit-adjusted effective interest rate for purchased or originated credit- impaired financial assets). The Group estimates cash flows by considering all contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment, extension, call and similar options) through the expected life of that financial instrument.
Financial Liabilities Initial recognition and measurement All financial liabilities are initially recognised at Book value and in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of attributable transaction costs (example: Upfront processing fees).
The company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loan and borrowings including bank overdrafts and financial guarantee contracts.
Classification and subsequent measurement of financial liabilities Financial liabilities are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, except for financial liabilities held for trading or designated at FVTPL, that are carried subsequently at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or loss.
All derivate financial instruments are accounted for at FVTPL.
Other Financial Liabilities The Group enters into arrangements whereby banks and financial institutions make direct payments to suppliers for raw materials and project materials. The banks and financial institutions are subsequently repaid by the Group at a later date providing working capital timing benefits. These are normally settled within twelve months. The economic substance of the transaction is determined to be operating in nature and these are 225recognised as supplier’s credit / letter of credit - acceptances and disclosed on the face of the balance sheet. Interest expense on these are recognised in the finance cost.
Payments made by banks and financial institutions to the operating vendors are treated as a non cash item and settlement of due to supplier’s credit / letter of credit - acceptances by the Group is treated as an operating cash outflow reflecting the substance of the payment.

Payments made by banks and financial institutions to the operating vendors are treated as a non cash item and settlement of due to supplier’s credit / letter of credit - acceptances by the Group is treated as an operating cash outflow reflecting the substance of the payment.
n. Investment Property Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs.
Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss, if any. Investment properties are derecognised either when they have been disposed of or when they are permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from their disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognised in profit or loss in the period of derecognition. In determining the amount of derecognition from the derecognition of investment properties the Group considers the effects of variable consideration, existence of a significant financing component, non-cash consideration, and consideration payable to the buyer (if any). Fair value as disclosed in notes are calculated based on the guideline rates prescribed by the Government. Transfers are made to (or from) investment property only when there is a change in use.
o. Assets Classified as Held for Sale Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use.
They are measured at lower of carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Management must be committed to the sale which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification. Non-current assets and 226disposal groups classified as held for sale are not depreciated and are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Such assets and disposal groups are presented separately on the face of the consolidated balance sheet.
p. Employee benefits
1) Short Term Employee Benefits A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages, salaries and annual leaves in the period the related service is rendered at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for that service.
Liabilities recognised in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related service.
2) Long Term Employee Benefits Liabilities recognised in respect of long-term employee benefits are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows expected to be made by the Group in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. The Group operates a defined benefit gratuity plan in India. The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plan is determined using the projected unit credit method.
Remeasurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability), are recognised immediately in the balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI in the period in which they occur. Remeasurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods. Past service costs are recognised in profit or loss on the earlier of: i) The date of the plan amendment or curtailment, and ii) The date that the Group recognises related restructuring costs Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The Group recognises the following changes in the net defined benefit obligation as an expense in the consolidated statement of
profit and loss: i) Service costs comprising current service costs, past-service costs, gains and losses on curtailments and non-routine settlements; and ii) Net interest expense or income The liabilities for earned leave are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. They are therefore measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method. The benefits are discounted using the market yields at the end of the reporting period that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation. Remeasurements as a result of experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in profit or loss. The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet 227if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer the settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date.
3) Termination Benefits A liability for a termination benefit is recognised at the earlier of when the entity can no longer withdraw the offer of the termination benefit and when the entity recognises any related restructuring costs.
4) Defined Contribution Plans Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.
Payments made to state managed retirement benefit plans are accounted for as payments to defined contribution plans where the Group’s obligations under the plans are equivalent to those arising in a defined contribution retirement benefit plan.
5) Defined Benefit Plans For defined benefit retirement benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each annual reporting period. Remeasurements comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan assets (excluding interest) are recognised immediately in the balance sheet with a charge or credit to other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurements recognised in other comprehensive income are not reclassified. Actuarial valuations are being carried out at the end of each annual reporting period for defined benefit plans. The retirement benefit obligation recognised in the consolidated financial statement represents the deficit or surplus in the Group’s defined benefit plans. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.

Non-GAAP Measures The Non-GAAP Measures presented in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus are a supplemental measure of our performance and liquidity that are not required by, or presented in accordance with Ind AS. Further, these Non-GAAP Measures are not a measurement of our financial performance or liquidity under Ind AS and should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to cash flows, profit/(loss) for the year/period or any other measure of financial performance or as an indicator of our operating performance, liquidity, profitability or cash flows generated by operating, investing or financing activities derived in accordance with Ind AS. In addition, these Non-GAAP Measures are not a standardized term, hence a direct comparison of similarly titled Non-GAAP Measures between companies may not be possible. Other companies may calculate the Non-GAAP Measures differently from us, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Although the Non-GAAP Measures are not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with applicable accounting standards, our Company’s management believes that they are useful to an investor in evaluating us because they are widely used measures to evaluate a company’s operating 264performance. For the risks relating to our Non-GAAP Measures, please see “Risk Factors- Significant differences exist between Ind-AS and other accounting principles, such as U.S. GAAP and IFRS, which may be material to the financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with Ind-AS contained in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus” on page 53.

Our Restated Consolidated Financial Information have been derived from our audited Ind AS consolidated financial statements for Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023, and restated in accordance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations and the Guidance Note on Reports on Company Prospectuses (Revised 2019) issued by the ICAI. Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with Ind AS, notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, and read with Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 to the extent applicable. Ind AS differs in certain material respects from IFRS and U.S. GAAP and other accounting principles with which prospective investors may be familiar. Accordingly, the degree to which the financial statements prepared in accordance with Ind AS included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus will provide meaningful information is entirely dependent on the reader’s level of familiarity with Ind AS accounting policies.

Any reliance by persons not familiar with Ind AS accounting policies on the financial disclosures presented in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus should accordingly be limited. Please also see “Risk Factors- Significant differences exist between Ind-AS and other accounting principles, such as U.S. GAAP and IFRS, which may be material to the financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with Ind-AS contained in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus” on page 53.

Overview 268We are a real estate developer in India primarily focussing on plotted developments in the State of Tamil Nadu, particularly in and around Chennai. As part of our business, we acquire parcels of land and build basic infrastructure on the land, such as roads, power connections, sewage, water supply thereby converting it into developable land. We also have worked to acquire contiguous parcels of land in some cases to create a larger area more economically viable for further development.
Our plotted developments are divided into two (2) segments, namely (i) residential segment comprising development of residential plots and (ii) industrial segment comprising development of large contiguous land to be used for industries. We develop and sell residential land plots mainly to homeowners for their construction of houses and villas. The sizes of our residential plots typically range from 600 square feet to 2,400 square feet, with price of individual plot ranging from ₹1,500 per square feet to ₹5,000 per square feet. We develop and sell industrial land plots mainly to enterprises for construction of factories, warehouses and other facilities. The sizes of our industrial plots typically range from 2 acres to 9 acres, with price of individual parcels of land ranging from ₹5 million per acre to ₹ 30 million per acre. Our land plots, particularly residential plots, are developed with customer-centric approach. Our residential plots are developed with black topped roads, adequate streetlights, walkways, avenue trees, fences and CCTV to ensure customer satisfaction. For industrial plots, our main development work is construction of roads. We sell these plotted developments to our customers.
Our operations are strategically located in and around Chennai, the capital of the State of Tamil Nadu, India. Chennai is one of India's most urbanized cities characterized by a steadily growing population, benefitting from a rich cultural legacy and a moderate coastal climate, making it an attractive place to live. (Source: CRISIL Report). In addition, Chennai is the second largest State economy in India in Fiscal 2024, according to the CRISIL Report. With its strategic location along the Coromandel Coast, coupled with its well-developed port infrastructure, Chennai is the largest industrial and commercial hub in South India, with the presence of over 15,000 licensed factories and industries within the city limits. (Source: CRISIL Report). Our plotted developments are strategically located across key growth corridors of Chennai, offering a mix of connectivity, infrastructure and investment potential.
As of March 31, 2025, we have 39 Completed Projects, 13 Ongoing Projects and 7 Upcoming Projects. For definitions of these categories, please refer to “Our Business – Business Operations – Our Projects”. The table below sets forth, as of March 31, 2025, a summary of our Completed Projects and Ongoing Projects:
Type of Project Number of Projects Sold Area (for Completed Projects) / Saleable Area (for (for Ongoing Projects and Upcoming Projects) (square feet) Completed Projects Residential segment 21 67,88,192 Industrial segment 18 6,27,03,105 Sub Total 39 6,94,91,297 Ongoing Projects Residential segment 10 11,91,944 Industrial segment 3 18,59,408 Sub Total 13 30,51,352 Upcoming Projects Residential segment 5 5,73,332 Industrial segment 2 1,00,18,800 Sub Total 7 1,05,92,132 Total 59 8,31,34,781 We believe that the successful growth of our Company can be attributed to our Promoters, our understanding of the real estate market, ability to identify and acquire land with growth potential, our sales ability and the strong “Grand Magnum” brand.
Our Land Reserves comprise of saleable areas of land to which we have acquired, or are in the process of acquiring, title, on which no development activity has commenced and no plan for development has been initiated but which we intend to develop in future, subject to various factors including marketability, receipt of regulatory clearances and development of adequate infrastructure. As of March 31, 2025, our Land Reserves are comprised of approximately 83,134,781 square feet (or 1908.52 acres) of land which excludes the Ongoing Projects, Completed Projects and Upcoming Projects. For further details on our Land Reserves, please see “Our Business – Our Land Reserves” beginning on page 150.
269Historically, the focus of our business has been in and around Chennai. In the future, we intend to continue our efforts in areas in and around Chennai. Our objective is to capture new opportunities in fast developing areas in the districts of Chennai, where we have established a customer base, as well as other location with high growth potentials in the State of Tamil Nadu.
Principal Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations Our financial performance and results of operations are influenced by a number of important factors, some of which are beyond our control, including without limitation, competition, general economic conditions in India and in the State of Tamil Nadu, changes in the real estate market in India and in the State of Tamil Nadu and changes in evolving government regulations and policies. Some of the more important factors are discussed below, as well as in the section titled “Risk Factors” on page 32.
(i) Sales of plotted developments in a timely manner We sell plotted developments in the State of Tamil Nadu, particularly in and around Chennai. Our plotted developments are divided into two (2) segments, namely (i) residential segment comprising development of residential plots and (ii) industrial segment comprising development of large contiguous land to be used for industries. We develop and sell residential land plots mainly to homeowners for their construction of houses and villas. We typically commence sale of units along with the construction of projects.
During Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023, our revenue from the sale of land is set forth below. (in ₹ millions) Consolidated performance Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023 Revenue from sale of land 1,566.58 1,560.00 946.10 Our revenues and costs may fluctuate from period to period due to a combination of factors beyond our control, including registration of title of the land plots in a particular period and volatility in expenses such as costs to acquire land and development and construction costs. For further information, please see “Risk Factors - It is difficult to compare our performance between periods, as our revenues from operations and expenses fluctuate significantly from period to period” on page 39.
Our income across time periods may fluctuate significantly due to a variety of factors, including the size and number of our development projects, execution of agreements and/or contracts with buyers and general market conditions. Variation of project timelines due to project delays and estimates may also have an adverse effect on our ability to recognize revenue in a particular period. As a result of one or more of these factors, we may record significant revenue from operations or profits during one accounting period and significantly lower revenue from operations or profits during prior or subsequent accounting periods.
We recognize revenue based on the fulfilment of performance obligations as set out in the contracts with our customers, which is further described in Annexure 31 (Statement of Revenue from Operations as restated) of our Restated Consolidated Financial Information. The estimate of costs is reviewed periodically by our management, and any effect of changes therein is recognized in the period in which changes are determined. Our cost estimates are affected by, among other things, volatility in expenses comprising the costs of acquisition of land, costs in relation to regulatory approvals and premiums, and finance costs. Such changes may in turn affect the profit recognized during the same fiscal year. Further, the periods discussed in our financial statements included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus may not be comparable to future periods, and our results of operations and cash flows may vary significantly from period to period, year to year and over time.
We develop and sell residential land plots mainly to homeowners for their construction of houses and villas. The sizes of our residential plots typically range from 600 square feet to 2,400 square feet, with price of individual plot ranging from ₹1,500 per square feet to ₹5,000 per square feet. We develop and sell industrial land plots mainly to enterprises for construction of factories, warehouses and other facilities. The sizes of our industrial plots typically range from 2 acres to 9 acres, with price of individual parcels of land ranging from ₹5 million per acre to ₹30 million per acre. As of March 31, 2025, we had 39 Completed Projects, 13 Ongoing Projects, 7 Upcoming Projects all of which are located in and around Chennai.
We cannot predict with certainty when our projects will be completed and sold as our project timetables are occasionally disrupted by and subject to unforeseen circumstances at different stages of planning and execution. This may lead to large fluctuation in financial result for any financial period depending on work completed in that period and sales made during that period. Therefore, our results of operations will significantly depend upon the size and number of Completed Projects which are ready to be sold or have been sold to customers in each financial period as our revenue from sales depends upon the volume of sales we are able to obtain for our plots as well as the rate of progress in building basic infrastructure on the land that we acquire, such as roads, power connections, sewage and water supply.
(ii) Purchases of trade property 270We acquire parcels of land at various locations in and around Chennai and other areas in Tamil Nadu, upon which we can undertake development. The cost of purchases of trade property is our largest business expense. During Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023, our expenses for the purchase of trade property is set forth below.
(in ₹ millions) Particulars Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023 Purchase of properties 1,433.98 304.21 444.62 Conversion of property, plant and equipment into stock in trade
94.00 - - Total purchase of trade property 1,527.98 304.21 444.62 Our ability to identify suitable parcels of land for development is a vital element of growing our business and involves certain risks, including identifying land with clean title and at locations that are preferred by our target customers. For further information, please see “Risk Factors - We may not be able to successfully identify and acquire suitable land, which may affect our business and growth prospects” on page 34.
(iii) Cost of construction and development As part of our business, we acquire parcels of land and build basic infrastructure on the land to convert it into developable land that we can sell. Our development expenses includes the cost of piping, cement, electrical equipment and fitting, piping and other building materials and labour costs. If there are price increases in construction materials due to increases in demand for cement and other materials, our development expenses may increase in line with such price increases.
During Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023, our development expenses for our land plots is set forth below. (in ₹ millions) Particulars Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023 Development expenses 27.16 22.23 26.15 In addition, the timing and quality of construction of the projects we develop depends on the availability and skill of our contractors and consultants, as well as contingencies affecting them, including labour and industrial actions, such as strikes and lockouts. Such labour and industrial actions may cause significant delays to the construction timetables for our projects and we may therefore be required to find replacement contractors and consultants at higher cost. As a result, any increase in prices resulting from higher construction costs could adversely affect demand for our projects and our profit margins.
(iv) Capital expenditure and cost of funding We require substantial capital (including working capital) for our real estate development business. Historically, we have funded our capital requirements through a combination of external borrowing, internal accruals and equity.
As at March 31, 2025, we had total borrowings of ₹1,232.08 million. The table below sets forth certain information on our total borrowings, debt to equity ratio, finance cost and debt service coverage ratio as at the dates indicated.
Particulars As at March 31, 2025 As at March 31, 2024 As at March 31, 2023 Total Borrowings (1) (₹ in million) 1,232.08 928.02 1,307.51 Finance Costs (₹ in million) 82.81 70.04 29.20 Debt Service Coverage Ratio (2) 2.98 1.05 1.48
(1) Total borrowings is calculated as the sum of current and non-current borrowings and finance lease obligations.
(2) Debt service coverage ratio is calculated as earnings available before debt service divided by finance costs and principal repayment.
All of our borrowings are secured, inter alia, through a charge by way of hypothecation on our entire current assets, and, in case of our term loans, on fixed assets that includes land in favour of lenders. For further details, please see “Financial Indebtedness” on page 293.
The actual amount and timing of our future capital requirements may differ from estimates as a result of, among other things, unforeseen delays or cost overruns in developing our new projects, changes in business plans due to prevailing economic conditions, unanticipated expenses and regulatory changes. To the extent our planned expenditure requirements exceed our available resources, we will be required to seek additional debt or equity financing. Additional debt financing could increase our interest costs and require us to comply with additional restrictive covenants in our financing agreements. Moreover, we are significantly dependent on our banks to continue to offer sufficient amounts of funding on commercially reasonable terms. In the event that we are unable to raise sufficient funding on a timely basis or at all, our ability to service our existing and/or new projects could be compromised.
271(v) Performance of the real estate market in India and State of Tami Nadu Our operations are subject to the performance of the real estate market in India generally and more particularly in and around Chennai and State of Tamil Nadu in which our projects are currently located and in markets where they will be located in the future. The development of a real estate project takes a substantial amount of time, and our business could be adversely impacted if there is a decline in prices over the timeframe of sale and development. Changes in government policies, local economic conditions (which may differ from countrywide economic conditions), demographic trends, employment and income levels and interest rates, among other factors, may affect the real estate market and affect the demand for and valuation of our projects under implementation and our future projects. We are subject to potentially significant fluctuations in the market value of our land. We need to regularly identify and acquire new land to support and sustain our business. The risk of owning undeveloped land can be substantial and the market value of the same can fluctuate significantly as a result of changing economic and market conditions. There is often a significant lag between the time we acquire land and the time that we can plot and develop such project. In addition, real estate investments, in land, are relatively illiquid, which may limit our ability to vary our exposure in the real estate business promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions.
Low interest rates on housing loans and favourable tax treatment of these loans have helped boost the recent growth of the Indian real estate market. However, if there is an increase in interest rates increases in India, it could discourage consumers from taking loans for acquiring real estate and thereby weaken the real estate market. Further, rising interest rates also increase the costs of our borrowings. Various provisions and norms imposed by the RBI in relation to housing loans by banks and housing finance companies could reduce the attractiveness of the property. Additionally, Reserve Bank of India or the government may take further steps to reduce directly or indirectly the amount of credit extended to the real estate sector, which could adversely affect the availability of housing loans at attractive rates.
(vi) Competition We compete for land, sale of projects, manpower resources and skilled personnel with other developers. Some of our competitors may have greater resources (including financial, land resources, and other types of infrastructure) to take advantage of efficiencies created by size, and access to capital at lower costs, have a better brand recall, and established relationships with homeowners. For instance, we face competition from developers including Sameera Estates Private Limited, S&P Foundation Private Limited and Elephantine Enterprises Private Limited, which have similar business operations and geographic presence to us. For further information, please see “Industry Overview – Peer Comparisons” on page 134. Due to the lesser requirements of technical expertise in the real estate development sector as it relates to land plots as opposed to the industrial/ infrastructure construction sector, the real estate development sector may invite new entrants along with existing players from whom we face competition. These new and existing players undertake projects and may undertake future projects) in Chennai and Tamil Nadu where our projects are located.
Our success in the future will depend significantly on our ability to maintain and increase market share in the face of such competition. Our inability to compete successfully with the existing players in the industry, may affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
For further details, please see “Our Business – Competition” on page 153.
(vii) Government Regulations and Policies The real estate sector in India is highly regulated. Our operations, the acquisition of land and land development rights, and the implementation of our projects require us to obtain regulatory approvals and licenses and require us to comply with the land acquisition and conversion rules and regulations of a variety of regulatory authorities. We are also subject to local and municipal laws relating to real estate development activities and the relevant development control regulations. These require approvals for construction and development of real estate projects including approvals for the ratio of built-up area to land area, plans for road access, community facilities, open spaces, water supply, sewage disposal systems, electricity supply, environmental suitability, zoning regulations and size of the project. Any delay or failure in getting any of these approvals for our Ongoing Projects and Upcoming Projects may affect our business and result of operations.
Further, the Central Government notified the RERA on March 26, 2016 and has enforced RERA with effect from May 1, 2017.
The RERA has been introduced to regulate the real estate industry and ensure, amongst others, imposition of certain responsibilities on real estate developers and accountability towards customers and protection of their interest. RERA requires the mandatory registration of real estate projects and developers are not permitted to issue advertisements or accept advances unless real estate projects are registered. The RERA also imposes restrictions on use of funds received from customers prior to project completion and taking customer approval for major changes in sanction plan.
As of March 31, 2025, we had 7 Upcoming Projects. We (and in certain cases, the third parties developing the relevant real estate project pursuant to arrangements with us) are required to obtain statutory and regulatory approvals, licenses or permits at various stages in the development of our projects, including, requisite change of land use approvals, 272environmental approvals, fire safety clearances, and commencement, completion certificates from relevant Governmental authorities. Some of our Upcoming Projects are in the preliminary stages of planning and development and we are yet to apply for certain approvals in order to commence the development of such projects.
Our development plans in relation to our Upcoming Projects are yet to be finalized and approved. To successfully execute each of these projects, we are required to obtain statutory and regulatory approvals and permits for which applications need to be made to the concerned authority at appropriate stages of the projects. For example, we are required to obtain the approval of layout plans, environmental consents and fire safety clearances for each of our projects. The following table sets forth the key approvals, which are in the nature of operational licenses, which are outstanding for our Upcoming Projects.
Name of entity Project name Issuing Authority Status of the Approval WPPL Home Land 124 Phase III Panchayat Union In Process GHPL Saar Grand Magnum City Phase III DTCP In Process Any delay or failure to obtain the required approvals in accordance with our plans may adversely affect our ability to implement our Upcoming Projects which may adversely affect our business and prospects. Moreover, we may encounter material difficulties in fulfilling any conditions precedent to the approvals such as failure to obtain a certificate of change of land use in respect of lands designated for purposes other than real estate development. In addition, we would be required to stop land development activity in the event of withdrawal of such licenses or approvals.
(viii) Availability of future growth opportunities Our growth is linked to the availability of land in areas where we intend to develop projects either by ourselves or under redevelopment or joint development arrangements. Suitable land parcels are limited in and around Chennai, our primary market.
We believe that we have been successful in obtaining some of the land parcels at reasonable cost but are not able to predict our ability to do so in the future. The cost of acquiring land, which includes the amounts paid for freehold rights, leasehold rights, the cost of registration and stamp duty, represents a substantial part of our project cost, and may sometimes determine whether we are able to acquire certain parcels of land at all. We enter into a deed of conveyance or a lease deed transferring title or leasehold rights in our favour. The registration charges and stamp duty are payable by us. Additional costs include those incurred in complying with regulatory formalities, such as fees paid for change of land use, infrastructure and development charges and premium.
KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS AND NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES In addition to our financial results determined in accordance with Ind AS, we consider and use those certain non-GAAP financial measures and key performance indicators that are presented below as supplemental measures to review and assess our operating performance. Our management does not consider these non-GAAP financial measures and key performance indicators in isolation or as an alternative to the Restated Consolidated Financial Information. We present these non-GAAP financial measures and key performance indicators because we believe they are useful to us in assessing and evaluating our operating performance, and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures and key performance indicators, when taken collectively with the Restated Consolidated Financial Information, prepared in accordance with Ind AS, may be helpful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate our ongoing operating results and trends and to compare our financial results to prior periods.
Non-GAAP financial information is not recognized under Ind AS and do not have standardized meanings prescribed by Ind AS.
In addition, non-GAAP financial measures and key performance indicators used by us may differ from similarly titled non- GAAP measures used by other companies. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by Ind AS to be recorded in our financial statements, as further detailed below.
In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgment by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation is provided below for each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with Ind AS.
Investors are encouraged to review the related Ind AS financial measures and the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable Ind AS financial measures included below and to not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. Other companies may calculate non-GAAP metrics differently from the way we calculate these metrics.
Please see “Risk Factors – We have in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus included certain Non-GAAP Measures that may vary from any standard methodology that is applicable across the real estate development industries and may not be comparable with financial information of similar nomenclature computed and presented by other companies” on page 51.
Set forth below are certain non-GAAP measures derived from our Restated Consolidated Financial Information for fiscal years ended March 31, 2025, March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023.

Revenue from Operations Our revenue from operations increased by 0.42% to ₹1,566.58 million for Fiscal 2025 from ₹1,560.00 million for Fiscal 2024.
The relatively flat revenue from operations from year to year can be primarily attributed to the nature of our business. As we 280operate in the land trading segment, the timing of revenue recognition is closely tied to market conditions and the availability of favorable deals. During Fiscal 2025, management made a strategic decision to defer certain property sales due to the absence of optimal pricing opportunities. As a result, revenue growth remained stagnant during Fiscal 2025.
Other income Our other income increased by 133.93% to ₹182.50 million for Fiscal 2025 from ₹78.01 million for Fiscal 2024, primarily due to a 147.41% increase in interest received to ₹169.69 million for Fiscal 2025 from ₹68.59 million for Fiscal 2024 resulting from an increase in fixed deposits made with banks as well as a 103.31% increase in profit on sale of mutual fund units to ₹11.22 million for Fiscal 2025 from ₹5.52 million for Fiscal 2024.
Expenses Purchases of trade property. Our purchases of trade property increased by 402.27% to ₹1,527.98 million for Fiscal 2025 from ₹304.21 million for Fiscal 2024, which was primarily due to 371.37% increase in purchase of properties to ₹1,433.98 million for Fiscal 2025 from ₹304.21 million for Fiscal 2024. The increase in property purchases in Fiscal 2025 was primarily due to our strategic decision to stock up on land and capitalize on the opportunity. In addition, in Fiscal 2025 we had ₹94.00 million of expenses for conversion of property plant and equipment into stock in trade.
Changes in inventories of finished goods, work in progress and stock-in-trade. The inventory increased by ₹1,169.84 million, from ₹1,336.62 million in Fiscal 2024 to ₹2,672.08 million in Fiscal 2025.
Employee benefits expense. Employee benefits expense increased by 73.62% to ₹46.85 million for Fiscal 2025 from ₹26.99 million for Fiscal 2024, which was primarily due to increases in salaries, wages and allowances. Our salaries, wages and allowances increased by 82.79% to ₹44.13 million for Fiscal 2025 from ₹24.14 million for Fiscal 2024 which was primarily due to yearly increments and new hirings. We had 64 and 52 permanent employees on the roll as at March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively.
Finance costs. Our finance costs increased by 18.25% to ₹82.81 million for Fiscal 2025 from ₹70.04 million for Fiscal 2024, primarily due to a 179.92% increase in interest on borrowings from related parties to ₹29.11 million for Fiscal 2025 from ₹10.40 million for Fiscal 2024, partially offset by a 11.86% decrease in interest on borrowings from NBFC to ₹51.70 million for Fiscal 2025 from ₹58.66 million for Fiscal 2024. As at March 31, 2025, our borrowings outstanding was ₹1,220.54 million as compared to ₹923.16 million as at March 31, 2024.
Depreciation and amortisation expense. Our depreciation and amortisation expense increased by 73.66% to ₹4.84 million for Fiscal 2025 from ₹2.79 million for Fiscal 2024, primarily due to an increase in depreciation of property, plant and equipment and an increased amortisation expenses from rights of use assets.
Other expenses. Our other expenses increased by 9.59% to ₹113.11 million for Fiscal 2025 from ₹103.22 million for Fiscal 2024, primarily due to an increase in professional fees, development expenses and rates and taxes partially offset by a decrease in brokerage & commission and legal expenses.
Profit before tax. As a result of the foregoing, our profit before tax increased by 45.20% to ₹1,143.31 million for Fiscal 2025 from ₹787.39 million for Fiscal 2024.
Tax expense. Our total tax expense increased by 46.40% to ₹297.46 million for Fiscal 2025 from ₹203.18 million for Fiscal
2024. The increase in our tax expense for Fiscal 2025 was primarily attributable to a 47.73% increase in current tax for the current year to ₹298.46 million for Fiscal 2025 from ₹202.52 million for Fiscal 2024, primarily due to an increase in profits before tax, and a deferred tax credit of ₹1.00 million for Fiscal 2025 as compared to a deferred tax charge of ₹0.66 million for Fiscal 2024.
Non-controlling interests. Our non-controlling interests increased to ₹92.29 million for Fiscal 2025 from ₹7.98 million for Fiscal
2024. This increase was due acquisitions that we made in Fiscal 2025.
Profit for the year. As a result of the foregoing, our profit for the year increased by 30.77% to ₹753.56 million for Fiscal 2025 from ₹576.24 million for Fiscal 2024. This is primarily due to reduction in the cost of sales from 41.51% in Fiscal 2024 to
22.86% in Fiscal 2025.
The following table sets forth our costs of sales and costs of sales as a percentage of revenue from operations in Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024:

In Fiscal 2025 and in Fiscal 2024, we had other comprehensive income of ₹0.07 million due to gain on remeasurements of post- employment benefit obligations of ₹0.07 million, less income tax relating to items that will not be reclassified to profit or loss of (₹0.02) million.
Total comprehensive income for the year. As a result of the foregoing, our total comprehensive income for the year increased by 30.78% to ₹753.51 million for Fiscal 2025 from ₹576.18 million for Fiscal 2024.

Revenue from Operations Our revenue from operations increased by 64.89% to ₹1,560.00 million for Fiscal 2024 from ₹946.10 million for Fiscal 2023.
The increase in revenue from operations in Fiscal 2024 can be primarily attributed to an increase in revenue from sale of land
due to following reasons:
1. Introduction of New Project a. The launch of a new project significantly contributed to incremental sales during Fiscal 2024. b. The project not only attracted strong customer demand but also enhanced our brand positioning in the market.
2. B2B Sale Expansion a. We expanded our B2B sales portfolio, which generated considerable revenues. b. This provided diversified revenue sources, reducing dependence on purely retail sales and improving overall business stability.
3. Segment Synergy a. The combination of retail (B2C) performance and new bulk project (B2B) inflows created a balanced revenue mix, strengthening financial sustainability.
Other income Our other income increased by 2,202.95% to ₹78.01 million for Fiscal 2024 from ₹3.39 million for Fiscal 2023, primarily due to an increase in interest received to ₹68.59 million for Fiscal 2024 from ₹0.38 million for Fiscal 2023 resulting from an increase in fixed deposits of ₹23.11 million as well as an increase in profit on sale of mutual fund units to ₹5.52 million for Fiscal 2024 from ₹0.69 million for Fiscal 2023.
Expenses Purchases of trade property.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Capital Requirements Our principal capital requirements are for capital expenditure, working capital and payment of principal and interest on our borrowings. Our principal source of funding has been and is expected to continue to be, cash generated from our operations, supplemented by borrowings from NBFCs, banks and related parties. For Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023, we met our funding requirements, including satisfaction of debt obligations, capital expenditure, investments, other working capital requirements, payouts to shareholders and other cash outlays, principally with funds generated from operations, and optimization of operating working capital, with the balance met from borrowings from NBFCs, banks and related parties.
Liquidity 286Historically, our primary liquidity and capital requirements have been to finance our working capital needs for our operations. capital expenditures for the building and maintenance of our operating facilities, the purchase of plant, equipment and machinery, and the repayment of borrowings and debt service obligations. We have met these requirements through cash flows from operations, short- and long-term borrowings from NBFCs and banks, overdraft facilities that are repayable on demand, cash and cash equivalents and equity. We have also entered into various revolving credit and other working capital facilities, which provides sufficient liquidity for our present requirements.
We believe that, after taking into account the expected cash to be generated from operations, we will have sufficient liquidity for our present requirements and anticipated requirements for capital expenditure and working capital for 12 months following the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.

Quantitative and Qualitative Analysis of Market Risks The Group’s business activities are exposed to a variety of financial risks, including credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk and interest rate risk. The Group's financial risk management is an integral part of how to plan and execute its business strategies.
The Group's activity exposes it to credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk and interest rate risk. The Company's board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group's risk management framework.
The Group does not engage in trading of financial assets for speculative purposes.
Credit risk Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Credit risk arises principally from the Group’s receivables from deposits with landlords and other statutory deposits with regulatory agencies and also arises from cash held with banks and financial institutions. Our maximum
exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amount of following types of financial assets: • cash and cash equivalents; • bank balances other than cash and cash equivalents; and • trade receivables.
Credit risk on cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits and other financial assets is limited as we generally invests in deposits with banks with high credit ratings assigned by domestic credit rating agencies. Other financial assets measured at amortised cost includes security deposits and trade receivables. Credit risk related to trade receivable and other financial assets is managed by monitoring the recoverability of such amounts continuously and monitoring the credit worthiness of the counterparties.
Trade receivables and contract assets Credit quality of a customer is assessed and individual credit limits are defined in accordance with this assessment Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. The Group has diversified customer base considering the nature and type of business.
289An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients. In addition, a large number of minor receivables are grouped into homogenous groups and assessed for impairment collectively The calculation is based on historical data. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets disclosed. The Group does not hold collateral as security The Group evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions and industries and operate in largely independent markets.
Our trade receivables as at March 31, 2025, March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 are set forth below.

Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that we will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. Our objective is to, at all times maintain optimum levels of liquidity to meet its cash and collateral obligations. Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Company’s Board of Directors.

While the Industrial Policy, 1991 (“Industrial Policy”) prescribes the limits and the conditions subject to which foreign investment can be made in different sectors of the Indian economy, FEMA regulates the precise manner in which such investment may be made. Under the Industrial Policy, unless specifically restricted, foreign investment is freely permitted in all sectors of the Indian economy up to any extent and without any prior approvals, but the foreign investor is required to follow certain prescribed procedures for making such investment. The RBI and the concerned ministries/departments are responsible for granting approval for foreign investment.
The Government has from time to time made policy pronouncements on Foreign Direct Investment (“FDI”) through press notes and press releases. The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India (earlier known as the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion) (“DPIIT”), issued the Consolidated FDI Policy Circular of 2020 (“Consolidated FDI Policy”) dated October 15, 2020, which with effect from October 15, 2020 consolidates, subsumes and supersedes all previous press notes, press releases and clarifications on FDI issued by the DPIIT that were in force and effect prior to October 15, 2020. The Consolidated FDI Policy will be valid and remain in force until superseded in totality or in part thereof.
In terms of the Press Note No. 3 (2020 Series) dated April 17, 2020 issued by the DPIIT and the Foreign Exchange Management (Non-debt Instruments) Amendment Rules, 2020 which came into effect from April 22, 2020, any investment, subscription, purchase or sale of equity instruments by entities of a country which shares land border with India or where the beneficial owner of an investment into India is situated in or is a citizen of any such country (“Restricted Investors”), will require prior approval of the Government of India, as prescribed in the Consolidated FDI Policy and the FEM NDI Rules. Further, in the event of transfer of ownership of any existing or future foreign direct investment in an entity in India, directly or indirectly, resulting in the beneficial ownership falling within the aforesaid restriction/ purview, such subsequent change in the beneficial ownership will also require approval of the Government of India. Pursuant to the Foreign Exchange Management (Non-debt Instruments) (Fourth Amendment) Rules, 2020 issued on December 8, 2020, a multilateral bank or fund, of which India is a member, shall not be treated as an entity of a particular country nor shall any country be treated as the beneficial owner of the investments of such bank or fund in India.

The aggregate limit of 24% may be increased by the Indian company concerned up to the sectoral cap/ statutory ceiling, with the approval of the board of directors and passing of a special resolution.
The transfer of shares between an Indian resident and a non-resident does not require the prior approval of the RBI, provided that (i) the activities of the investee company are under the automatic route under the Consolidated FDI Policy and transfer does not attract the provisions of the SEBI Takeover Regulations; (ii) the non-resident shareholding is within the sectoral limits under the Consolidated FDI Policy; and (iii) the pricing is in accordance with the guidelines prescribed by the SEBI/RBI.
