Risk Factors

  • Its business and profitability is significantly dependent on the performance of the real estate market, generally in India and particularly in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. Varying market conditions in the MMR may affect its ability to ensure sale of projects and the pricing of units in such projects, which may adversely affect results of operations and financial condition.

  • An inability to complete ongoing projects and forthcoming projects by their respective expected completion dates, or at all, could have a material adverse effect on business, results of operations and financial condition.

  • Its focus on development of residential projects across various categories within the MMR, and the success of these projects is dependent on the ability to anticipate and address consumer preferences in the various market segments.

  • Significant increases in prices, including that relating to increase in taxes and levies, or shortage of or delay or disruption in supply of construction materials could adversely affect estimated construction cost and timelines and result in cost overruns.

  • Shortage of land for development in the MMR or a significant increase in cost of such land or transferable development rights available for development in the MMR may adversely impact business prospects and financial performance.

  • Any negative operating cash flows in the future would adversely affect cash flow requirements, which may affect ability to operate business and implement growth plans, thereby affecting financial conditions.
