Thank you very much, sir. We will not begin the question and answer session. We have our first question from the line of Dixit Doshi from White Stone Financial Advisors.
Quarter ended Jun 2026
Yes. Thanks for the opportunity. Can you hear me?
Yes, sir. We can hear you. Please go ahead with the questions
Yes. Thanks for the opportunity. So my first question is relating to the Kanjurmarg. So if you can update that where are we standing right now? And last quarter you have mentioned that we are planning some strategic tie -up or even we are open for outright sale or the 7 acre plot to generate cash flows and also it will unlock the value. So where are we in that? Have we finalize or anything we can expect in near team and also the status of the land conversion. So I think the right time is December, so by then can we expect something over there?
So we are working very aggressively on the land conversion process. But yes, it's a regulatory process, which we've involved the government as well as the other processes which we need to do. So we are working on that. Hopefully, our target is we should be able to achieve that very soon, hopefully, in the next 2 to 3 months' time. We are very confident that it will happen, definitely happen before the December deadline as we are aware of the same. And as far as the strategic tie-up is concerned, we are yes, we are in active talks with a few and discussions are already going on, site visits are happening. Preliminary discussions are on, but we and them principally have agreed that we will only conclude once the conversion is taking place. So that's how we are moving in terms of all the strategic requirement. So more things are moving parallelly on those.
Okay. So you are saying that the land conversion has to happen before any tie-up we finalize?
Yes, because that's how we get a better value.
Okay. And that will be like whatever you are seeing that site visits are happening and all. So is it for outright or we are doing some joint JDAs?
Both. few are outright, few are JV.
For 7-acre only?
Yes.
Okay. So 7-acre will not be a one single deal. It may be a 2 deal or something like that?
It will be a one single deal.
A few of those are asking for an outright exit and some are asking for JV. So that evaluation is going on.
Okay. Understood. So but you feel confident that at least in 2, 3 months, the conversion thing should get resolved, because it's been a long time since we move something in Kanjurmarg. So just your thoughts on that.
Yes. No, no, we are while at the background completely working on the progress in terms of while the approval processes which are on. But as far as the other things which are required for faster execution once the conversion is done, we have already been keeping things ready as far as some tax implication matters are concerned or transfer of land or other legalities, whatever needs to be ironed out. All that is parallelly we worked on so that we don't waste time then and get faster things executed.
` Okay. And parallelly any update on the 55 acres, because that also we are planning for launch in FY28.
So Yes, that work in terms of master planning has been frozen. Now we have moved to the Phase 2 of all the technical evaluation and all that. As far as also the infrastructure work is concerned, that work has also been planned up, and we should be able to start that pretty soon. So, by the next year, FY28 when we launch, everything will be in order.
Okay. Now, coming to this year launch. So, do you know, for this year we are targeting INR6,500 crores launches, out of which, let's say 50% is the boutique office. Now I had the question over there that, firstly, whether we are confident of launching that in third quarter and how confident are do you feel that considering the current demand environment you feel that maybe postponed? And the relative question is, earlier a year back we are planning the INR1,800 crores launch for boutique office. Now we are doing it in a single phase around INR3,600 crores. I think this will be the largest project of Ajmera not only in commercial but even considering the estimation we have not done any single such big launch. How confident are you feeling and also the launch in future?
Sorry to interrupt you, Dixit, your voice is breaking.
So no, we got the gist of the question. So Mr. Dixit, we had informed last time only that there has been some approval changes, and that is where we've got an additional 1 million-odd square feet of FSI, which has loaded in our Wadala project by virtue of which we've got another INR3,000-odd crores of GDV increase. And what we see over the last so many years with the growth story of India, the GCC growth has also been significantly higher and also now with data centers evolving in a larger way in outside of the city, and other GCC is also erupting in a bigger way and larger way. There has been a good demand for commercial premises all across Mumbai because of its strategic connectivity all across Mumbai. And Wadala being enjoying this strategic connectivity, we are seeing a great demand coming for commercial spaces in this particular micro market because of its connectivity to the new airport and BKC. So hence, we are confident, and that is why we are launching. Earlier, we were doing about 4 -5 lakh square feet of office space launch. Now we are going to do about 8 to 8.5 lakh square feet of office space launch. And that is why we are seeing this larger number coming. And then while we
internally speak to our customers, our brokers and other people, they are very confident about a good turnaround coming in this space.
Okay. And last question in terms of other projects what we have planned for this year, do you feel that most of it will be, we will be able to launch because I think we have moved some of the time lines like Borivali moved from Q3 to Q4, even Pune moved from Q1 to Q4. So is it any regulatory issue or just a demand scenario?
No. Some are regulatory issues, some are I mean, most of them are regulatory issues, which have come in, and we have actually commenced the work at Pune. We in fact, even you've got the RERA number also, but we will only launch this once we reach. We have strategically decided that we will not launch this at what you call an execution or a ground level stage or like on the excavation stage. But we will launch t his at a stage where we will be able to create a better demand and pricing, which will come during the plinth level. And hence, we moved from first quarter to the last quarter.
Okay. Okay. I have few more question, I will join back then.
Sure.
Thank you. We have a follow -up question from the line of Dixit Doshi from Whitestone Financial Advisors.
Yes, thanks for the opportunity again. So my next question is regarding the project in Ajmera Vann. I mean this quarter, we were not able to sell any flat there. So how do you see because it looks like the demand is not there for that project. So if you can give your some thought over there?
No, it's not like that. We are very cautious in our sales. We have brought this as a luxury collective. In fact, if you go to see, there is demand which is coming for larger area than smaller area, and we are evaluating all of that. We are speaking to the required brokers. And this micro market sees a demand for such larger apartments only once they are probably being come up to an RCC's level where they can actual ly see the buildings coming up. And right now, we are under an excavation stage. So we are mindful of that, and we are aware of this. So we are not pushing what you call a desperate sale to come in. We are very confident and even the channel partners and our investors, whoever are across they all are very confident about getting good numbers coming as the building progresses. So obviously, building progress has started. It will take because it is 2 basements and a plinth and a podiums to come in. So that about a year or so will go. We will see subdued sales this financial year for this project. But over the time and next year when the progress of the superstructure is happening, we will start seeing traction coming in a faster way.
Okay. My next question is, we have reduced our consolidated debt, but if you see this quarter result, our interest cost on quarter -on-quarter on a consolidated gone up from INR21 crores to almost INR30 crores. So any particular reason for this?
Certainly. So it is like the Solis project, which is entered as a qualified for the revenue recognition first time. So the entire accumulated cost pool, which is debited to the P&L and significant part of the cost has been interest cost on this particular project. And that's how on the consolidated numbers, you see the numbers that of the finance cost and happy to bring back the real reason for this because of the high -cost debt in this particular project, which was through private equity deal, which was supported f or the acquisition one, which we have fast track and repaid significantly from our cash sales collection kind of a thing. And that's the reason that, that particular IRR servicing is the finance cost and which has got participated into when the project got revenue recognized qualified for this quarter.
So from next quarter onwards, this INR 30 crores will c ome back to normalized like INR 20 crores which you have?
Absolutely. As you see that my weighted average cost also coming down very gradually kind of a thing and the marginal loans which are at a much, much lower than the weighted average cost, once that particular component starts coming into the outstanding lo an, the weighted average cost and hence, the overall cost finance cost amount also will come down gradually.
Okay. And in terms of this INR89 crores asset monetization, so was there any profit or something in this P&L?
This is actually the financial asset which was classified into the balance sheet. So it's a balance sheet transaction between the cost with what we incur red and as well the financial or the advances which we have done for this particular project. So it's complete ly a cash flow transaction, INR89 crores which we have realized out of INR330 crores, the guidance which we have been giving about the asset monetization. So INR89 crores which we have unlocked out of that.
Okay. So nothing has come to P&L regarding this?
No, as I explained, it is a financial asset. So it is a balance sheet transaction.
Okay. Okay. And my last question is from last quarter's presentation we have removed the south SV Concrete Bangalore project from our upcoming launch. So any particular reason?
So that particular has got swapped with the Whitefield, which is the project line item 6 in my launch pipeline and which is the business development which we have done in this q uarter and which is against INR1,800 crores guidance of BD, it is INR389 crores, which is the Whitefield
and which is also we are aspiring to bring in into the last quarter of FY 27. So that is the swap between SV Concrete and Whitefield project.
But SV Concrete will come next year or that project is no longer with us?
No, it will no longer be there.
Okay. Is there any particular reason. I mean we completely had launched then the project?
Sorry to interrupt you Dixit, your voice broken between.
Sorry. So I was asking, is there any particular reason like we have put it in our plan launch and now the project is not with us
So typically, it is like the Bangalore location always been a very asset like kind of a thing. We have been evaluating the proposal and bring it up to the stage where we can confidentially look at it. This is a solidary position that this particular project is not now turning out to be a project to come and launch. And the new project which we have, ringfenced that particular transaction and which is the part of the launches now.
Okay, thanks. Thank you so much.
Thank you. We have next question from the line of Dewang, an individual investor. Please go ahead.
Yes, good evening all. Just wanted to check one thing that currently, the debt equity ratio is around 0.47 and our expectation by end of the year is 1x. So what is going to be the expectation on a realistic number by financial year-end? That's my first question. And the second question is in current uncertain economic environment, what is the outlook on the real estate sector in the short term and medium term?
So I'll answer your first question regarding the debt equity ratio of 0.47. Yes, we have been very successful in managing the debt and reducing the debt equity. But as you can appreciate that we have the deep launch pipeline and a few of the projects which r equire a pre -RERA kind of a capital, which is going to create some kind of a requirement for the debt. But as we come near to the launch and then since velocity on launches, we are confident that those working capital loans will start coming and we can start coming back to the deleveraging. But yes, there would be about a quarter or two whereby this kind of a situation are going to be there. And that's the reason we gave the guidance of FY27 to 1x, but with this asset monetization and another also absolutely sealed out kind of a thing, we are now seeing a much lower levered position as we go forward kind of a thing.
Real estate outlook, I would invite Mr. Dhaval bhai.
The real estate outlook is at least if I have to particularly talk generally, it is looking positive. We have not seen , even if you look at the numbers all across other developers and their companies also, numbers have been okay. The sales have been good wherever launches have happened. I think there is still a good demand for real estate. People have become cautious. I would not say they have not become cautious, but with this cautiousness, we are still seeing a good uptick in the luxury market and in the mid and luxury market. So the segments where we operate, even if I have to look at our sales numbers, although they may be a little subdued because we didn't have larger launches coming in, but at least for the sustained projects where we are continuing to have, we are seeing sales happening across every site.
Okay, great. And then last one more question that in the presentation, we see certain cash flows still coming from asset monetization. So any expectation during this financial year for the cash flow?
Yes. In fact, out of INR330 crores, INR89 crores is already has happened. And we made another disclosure regarding our stake sale for the one of our joint venture company, and that is what we are going to report in Q2 because we just sealed the deal in the month of first week of July 2026. So that is going to be reported in Q2. It's the matter of cash flow. But yes, that is going to be a further acceleration to the cash flow realization out of this INR330 crores.
Okay, great. Thank you.
Thanks.
Thank you. As there are no further questions, I would now like to hand the conference over to the management for closing comments.
