How the narrative shifted

- ROE Floor & Margin Expansion: Management emphasizes sustaining ROE above 15% as a long-term floor, with FY27 expected at 20%, driven by operating leverage, premiumization, and a growing Senior Living mix.
- Near-term Presales Moderation: cautious

Analyst Q&A
Q. Given soft Q1 bookings, what specific launches and factors give confidence in hitting the FY27 guidance?
July launch of Ashiana Oma pushed YTD presales to ₹859 Cr by July-end; H1 FY27 exit seen at ₹1,050-1,100 Cr; Ashiana Aaroham Phase 3 in Gurugram launching in Q3/Q4 FY27 will drive H2 and secure the ₹2,200 Cr target.
Q. Is the slowdown in unit sales deliberate, and what is the sustainable presales growth trajectory for the next 3-5 years?
Near-term presales may dip due to inventory constraints in Gurugram/Jaipur/Bhiwadi as capital shifts to Senior Living; long-term growth driven by Senior Living scaling to ₹1,500 Cr by FY30, while ROE is sustained above 15%.
Q. What are the underwriting assumptions (absorption rate, realization) and NCD structuring for the Vadgaon, Pune Senior Living acquisition?
Estimated ₹9,000-10,000/sq ft realization on 20 lakh sq ft saleable area implying ₹1,800-2,000 Cr revenue; expects 2-3 lakh sq ft annual absorption over 7-10 years; NCD issued to landowner to mirror a minority equity stake with 6% revenue share.
Q. What is the total capex outlay for the active land acquisition pipeline in FY27 and FY28?
Total FY27 deployment budget of ₹800 Cr, including ₹180 Cr already deployed in Q1; majority directed towards Senior Living land parcels.
Q. What is the minimum and maximum presales range through a cycle, and how does operating leverage work across multiple geographies?
An earlier internal estimate of 10 lakh sq ft minimum is outdated due to product mix shift; operating leverage works at company-level fixed costs, location-level marketing efficiencies, and phase-wise price capture, but will need to reassess cycle ranges.
