The first question is from the line of Dixit Doshi from Whitestone Financial Advisors.

Whitestone Financial Advisors

My first question is regarding the order book. So as of today, what would be our order book? And out of that order book how much value of the work has alrea dy been awarded by us to our contractors?

Whitestone Financial Advisors

Okay. And let's say, how much more order book we are targeting in near future, let's say, even in Q4 or next year, what kind of BD because this year was phenomenal in terms of order intake. So, what kind of order intake we are expecting for next year?

K. P. Mahadevaswamy

Next year, at least minimum INR25,000 crores.

Whitestone Financial Advisors

Okay. On a consol basis. Okay. Now looking at the kind of order book we already have and the kind of orders we are targeting, where do you see the growth fo r next 2, 3 years? I mean, obviously, we are currently growing at 10%, 15% kind of rate, b ut can this go up to 25%, 30% because order book is not a constraint now anymore for NBCC.

K. P. Mahadevaswamy

Definitely, at least minimum 25% to 35% increase will be there because we have to complete all the projects 3 to 4 years. So definitely, it will increase our top line as well as bottom line.

Whitestone Financial Advisors

So, you expect from next year onwards, 25% plus growth.

K. P. Mahadevaswamy

Yes, definitely, definitely, minimum.

Whitestone Financial Advisors

A nd m argi ns wi l l bro adl y rem ai n i n t he cu rrent rang e, or yo u e xpect that to go up or down anything?

K. P. Mahadevaswamy

Margin also increased 0.5% to 1% at least. Because our overhead s are fixed. And as soon as we're crossing our turnover, s o it will increase the profit. An d we are doing redevelopment projects and Amrapali projects wherein we are getting 8% to 9% PMC charge.

Whitestone Financial Advisors

Okay. And in terms of real estate, so how much, let's say, ready unsold inventory we have? And post that, what kind of real estate we will be left with?

K. P. Mahadevaswamy

Around only INR290 crores is balance. So, we have some land par cel also that we're going to construct and will improve our margin also.

Whitestone Financial Advisors

Okay. So INR290 crores. And after that, how much would be the t otal land bank we will be having?

K. P. Mahadevaswamy

Around INR700 crores.

Whitestone Financial Advisors

INR700 crores. So INR700 crores in terms like when we will construct and sell, that can generate INR700 crores...

K. P. Mahadevaswamy

No. Current land value is INR700 crores. Construction and selli ng we'll be reaching total INR8,000 crores.

Whitestone Financial Advisors

INR8,000 crores. Okay. So, land value is INR700 crores?

K. P. Mahadevaswamy

Yes, yes.

Sumeet Rohra

I have to tell you, sir, your performance has been very good, very encouraging in an environment which is as subdued as today. So very well done to you and your team. Sir, just a few things I wanted to touch with you on. So, sir, firstly, now that you mentioned that now our order book is now well above INR1 lakh crores. So, sir, what is the execution timeline in this? If my understanding is correct, then it's about 4 to 5 years. Is that correct, sir?

K. P. Mahadevaswamy

Yes, yes. Some projects 3 years only. Amrapali projects, 3 year s. Supertech projects also we have committed within 3 years. Some projects because redevelopment, you have to develop and have to generate the funds, wherein we require some more time. Otherwise, for PMC projects, nowadays, we are awarding all the contracts less than 2 years or maximum 2 years only.

Sumeet Rohra

So basically, sir, I mean, so is my understanding correct that you will see a very sharp growth in revenues basically, I mean, by maybe next financial year and th e following years, I mean, we could actually now be seeing very sharp growth in revenue and profits?

K. P. Mahadevaswamy

Yes, definitely. As I earlier told, at least 20% to 25% minimum growth we are expecting in coming years.

Sumeet Rohra

Okay. That's very encouraging. And sir, secondly, you've seen - - as you highlighted in your opening remarks, you have seen a very high amount of order infl ow versus the last few years. So, can we now assume that INR50,000 crores could be the new no rm for order inflows every year, sir? Is that correct?

K. P. Mahadevaswamy

That I cannot commit you, but at least INR25,000 crores are definitely we are going to get.

Sumeet Rohra

Okay. And sir, I mean, one project of ours has been struggling in the past, which is the Ghitorni land which we have. So is there, sir, I mean any development on that front? I mean, you plan to develop that? Is there any movement on that front, sir?

K. P. Mahadevaswamy

Yes, yes. We have our Ghitorni land parcel. So, there is some issue with the state government. I think hopefully, this year, it will be going to resolve. Next y ear onwards, we are going to start the construction on this Ghitorni plant. That is 32-acre land p arcel we have adjoining two Ghitorni Metro stations. So that can generate around my top line INR5,000.

Sumeet Rohra

So, land is basically owned by us, correct? So land is owned by us.

K. P. Mahadevaswamy

Yes, owned by NBCC. And current value is INR1.92 crores. 32-acr e land, currently we have a book value of only INR2 crores.

Sumeet Rohra

I see. Okay. And sir, so what's the FSI over there? So assuming that it's a 32-acre land parcel which you have. So effectively, what's the FSI over there today?

K. P. Mahadevaswamy

As per master plan around 2.

Sumeet Rohra

Okay. So basically, I mean, you will have well upward of about 2 million square foot to develop over there?

Sumeet Rohra

Okay. And sir, so basically, the only money which you will incu r in that is the cost of construction because the balance you will basically see straigh t away will be realized to us. Is that correct?

K. P. Mahadevaswamy

It will directly increase my bottom line as well as top line be cause construction, we need only INR5,000 to INR6,000 per square feet, whereas selling price currently minimum is INR20,000. So there will be a INR15,000 profit per square feet.

The next question is from the line of Akshay Patil.

Congrats to you and your team for the fantastic results. Basica lly, I wanted to know the real estate projection for the next financial year, how much it will be contributing to our total overall revenue and profitability?

K. P. Mahadevaswamy

Revenue around INR290 crores. Profit will be profit 25% to 30%, you can take on 20%-30%.

Sir, I am asking for the next full financial year, I'm asking?

K. P. Mahadevaswamy

Next financial year, I'm talking. INR290 crores on top line. We have only INR290 crores of inventory with us that has to be sell out in the next year. And we have some 600, 700 acre-- sorry, 700 worth of land parcel. That revenue will come after handing over. During construction, it won't come to our top line.

Okay. Sir, last concall we have talked about the Ghitorni contributing to at least INR4,000 crores to INR5,000 crores to profitability. So can you highlight more on that?

K. P. Mahadevaswamy

There is some issue with the state government. I think by this year-end, we are going to resolve that issue. Once the issue is clear, then we're going to start the construction and Ghitorni parcel. So it will take 2 years to 3 year s construction period. Once th e construction is over, after completion only we can book the revenue in our books. We will g et the cash flow inflow, but the turnover will be while we hand over the projects. So it will take 2 years at least.

Okay. Sir, are there any large-sized projects you are eyeing right now like Supertech or Amrapali which are more than INR10,000 crores?

K. P. Mahadevaswamy

We are expecting the new business. I could not catch your next question.

K. P. Mahadevaswamy

Then I'll reply to your answer. So after successful completion of redevelopment projects in Delhi, so now we are focusing the redevelopment projects across India in various state governments. So we are talking with Rajasthan government, Chhat tisgarh government, they have huge land parcel. So there also they want redevelopment mo del. It is a self-sustainable model. So the talks are going on. Next year, we're going to get I think one or two states will g oing to mature these projects. And similarly a lot of PSUs, public sector is undertaking having hu ge land parcel, there also we are fetching. So hopefully next year it will be fruitful from state government as well as PSU.

Okay. Sir, one more thing. What are your targets we have talked about INR25,000 crores top line and INR2,500 crores bottom line target. So when you are going to achieve this?

K. P. Mahadevaswamy

Next 3 years, 4 years.

Next 3 years. That’s all from my side. Thank you very much.

Vasudev

Okay. And sir, so like we have already awarded INR16,000 crores of projects in, let's say this 9 months, 10 months. So, for the balance, Feb and March, do we have any target number in mind for order inflows?

Around INR3,000 crores pipeline.

Vasudev

Vasudev

Okay. And sir, for the same numbers if you can give for order a warding as well, what we are looking for the next 2 months and in FY '26?

K. P. Mahadevaswamy

Okay, sir. And sir, I was asking on Supertech, if you can give some more details like what is our scope exactly and what is the revenue potential for us for the project and some more details on that project?

K. P. Mahadevaswamy

It is similar to Amrapali only, wherein we are PMC agency and a round 50,000 houses buyers are there. So, we want to sell around 10,000 units unsold in in ventory. By doing this, around 9,600 independent turnovers in the top line and the bottom line are 8% PMC we are getting.

Vasudev

Okay, sir. And this also then you are planning to complete in the next 3 years?

K. P. Mahadevaswamy

Yes. 1 to 3 years. Some projects we are targeting only within 1 year, some projects 1 to 2 years. The rest of the projects 3 years wherein they didn’t start the work.

Vasudev

Okay. And sir, in this Sarojini Nagar and Netaji Nagar have we sold anything till now in these two projects?

Sarojini Nagar already downtown we sell it out. The bulk sale a lready happened and Nauroji Nagar 100% sold out in the office spaces.

Moderator

Thank you. The next question is from the line of Dixit Doshi fr om Whitestone Financial Advisors. Please go ahead.

Whitestone Financial Advisors

Y e s . A c o u p l e o f c l a r i f i c a t i o n s . First, you mentioned that out of this INR1 lakh crores, the redevelopment project is around 28%?

Whitestone Financial Advisors

Okay, 38%. So broadly, what I'm understanding is that this 60% PMC project, there the timeline for execution is around 3 years to 4 years maximum. And this redevelopment, obviously, it is on a self-sustainable model. So, it may be slightly higher, right?

K. P. Mahadevaswamy

Yes, exactly.

Whitestone Financial Advisors

Okay. And one more clarification. You are earlier some particip ants has asked about the land bank where you have mentioned a 32-acre land. Could you just again mention which land bank is this?

Suman Kumar

It is Ghitorni land parcel lying with NBCC and the book value is only INR2 crores for 32 acres. So South Delhi, it is in South Delhi and then into Ghitorni Met ro station, in Delhi only. It is in Delhi only.

Whitestone Financial Advisors

Okay. And when you mentioned earlier that we have a INR700 crores land bank and the revenue potential could be INR8,000 crores, you have included this land in that?

K. P. Mahadevaswamy

No, this land excluded. That land is in Jaipur Kerala and Coimb atore, Ghaziabad, Faridabad, Patna.

Whitestone Financial Advisors

Ghitorni Land is not included in that?

Anjeev Jain

Potential of INR8,000 crores, we have included Ghitorni also. As far as inventory of land bank is concerned, it is INR700 crores. And this Ghitorni land is ou r property, plant and equipment that is of INR2 crores. But taken together, the value we can un lock is INR8,000 crores approximately over the period of 3 to 4 years.

Whitestone Financial Advisors

Okay. So, this INR8,000 crores land potential is including the Ghitorni.

Anjeev Jain

Including Ghitorni.

Anjeev Jain

After construction.

Whitestone Financial Advisors

Yes, understood. Okay. That’s it from my side. Thank you.

Moderator

Thank you. The next question is from the line of Pankaj Kumar f rom Kotak Securities. Please go ahead.

My question pertains to the standalone revenue where we have th e PMC segment single-digit kind of growth. So, if you can highlight the key reasons behind the slower execution in this quarter?

PMC, we have seen only 1.2% growth in this quarter. So, if you can give us the reason what led to the slowdown in the execution?

Yes, my question is on the PMC segment where we have seen 1.2% growth in the revenue in this quarter. So, we have booked INR1,800 crores standalone rev enue and that grew 1.2%. So, what impacts the execution in this quarter, if you can highlight, please?

K. P. Mahadevaswamy

Already we have achieved because actually last quarter due to N GT brand imposing on Delhi, our major projects are Amrapali and 70% GPRA so these two proje cts this year severely hitted by the NGT. That's where the growth is very less, whereas…

Management

8% to 10% growth.

K. P. Mahadevaswamy

Otherwise, 8% to 10% minimum increase will be there.

Anjeev Jain

In PMC, there is a growth of 1.2%, you rightly told and because in this quarter, the third quarter is mostly impacted by the graph in Delhi and NCR area, there is a pollution. So that's why if you see our growth comparing to that is a good growth.

K. P. Mahadevaswamy

We are going to achieve more.

Anjeev Jain

If you can see our 9 months now, it is 6% approximately. So taken consideration all, there is 6% growth on PMC front.

So, for the full year what kind of revenues that we are looking at on the standalone basis, you said on consol INR12,000 crores, what is the standalone number that we are looking at, sir?

K. P. Mahadevaswamy

Around INR9,200 crores standalone.

INR9,200 crores. Okay. So roughl y, we can expect around INR4,00 0 crores plus kind of numbers in the Q4 the asking rate is high that’s what I am basically asking?

K. P. Mahadevaswamy

Because last 1.5 months, there was a ban on construction in Del hi and NCR, even Noida also. So next quarter, we'll be going to achieve INR4,000 crores.

Okay. And what is the standalone awarding target for the current year and the next year?

K. P. Mahadevaswamy

Current year standalone already awarded INR13,000 crores. So, b alance INR1,600 crores he is going to assign - 13,000 already we have awarded in standalone Another INR3,000 crores we are going to award during this financial year.

And how about the next year that's the last question?

K. P. Mahadevaswamy

Next year 20,000 at least.

Moderator

Thank you. The next question is from the line of Parth Solanki.

Moderator

Yes, sir. You are. Mr. Parth can you hear us. As there is no r esponse from the participant, we'll move to the next question, which is from the line of Akshay Patel. Please go ahead.

My question is for Director Comme r c i a l , S u m a n K u m a r . S o , s i r , actually, last time you mentioned about Ghitorni and everything. So, I want to know out of the INR8,000 crores sale value, how much percentage of profit PAT we can get from that?

Suman Kumar

You are talking about the top line from the Ghitorni land.

Yes. Ghitorni top line you have said INR4,000 crores to INR5,000 crores bottom line, I want to know?

Suman Kumar

Here, the bottom line will be around 30% to 40%.

30% to 40%. In other land parcels, what will be the contributio n to the bottom-line percentage in percentage terms?

Suman Kumar

It will be around 20% to 25%.

In Ghitorni it is 40%, whereas in others, we will get 25% to 30%. Am I right?

Suman Kumar

Right, sir.

Moderator

Thank you. The next question is from the line of Sumit Arora fr om Smartsun Capital Private Capital. Please go ahead.

Yes, sir, I mean just some thought comes to mind. I mean this i s the first time after 27 years wherein you've got a different state government, which is with the center. So do you think that since our business is predominantly based more in Delhi. So, do you think that now kind of redevelopment of colonies, etcetera can actually pick up pace n ow? I mean, if you can share some thoughts on that?

K. P. Mahadevaswamy

Definitely because redevelopment model is a self-sustainable model, wherein government is not investing any money. Rather we are giving surplus money. And al l the cities including state governments, they have a huge land parcel or old colonies in de teriorated condition. They are unable to spend for a huge amount for repair and all. So nowadays, one by one state government is coming to give the work on redevelopment model. So NBCC is having the USP. The NBCC is the only PSU can do rede velopment. In fact, in Delhi, we are generating money and giving -- given to security. Security is not doing any marketing. They are just doing the construction work. So, there will be a lot of potential for NBCC and definitely coming years will be very bright for NBCC, I can say.

So basically, sir, I mean, since Chairman sir touched upon the point of housing colony, etcetera. So, do you see this as a potential for large orders coming to us now?

K. P. Mahadevaswamy

Already discussion is going on. So many pipeline projects are t here. I don't want to disclose in this current meeting. Yes, definitely, that's why I told you mi nimum INR25,000 crores to INR30,000 crores work order in the pipeline only. So that will come in coming years. Presently, I don't want to put the name and all.

I mean I do appreciate that sir. Thank you so much.

Moderator

Thank you. The next question is from the line of Dixit Doshi fr om Whitestone Financial Advisors. Please go ahead.

Whitestone Financial Advisors

Just one last thing on this Ghitorni land. So, all the approvals are in place or is there any litigation or something?

K. P. Mahadevaswamy

22 acres, there is no dispute. The dispute only lies with only 10 acres. So, after clearance of this, we are going to start taking approval and all. Presently, 22 acres under our custody only.

Whitestone Financial Advisors

No. But so, till the ti me the dispute on the 10-acre doesn't se ttle, we are not planning anything on 22?

K. P. Mahadevaswamy

We are planning.

Whitestone Financial Advisors

We are planning. So, something can come in FY '26 will start?

K. P. Mahadevaswamy

Yes. Definitely. The cash can come, but the top line and bottom will come once we are under way.

Whitestone Financial Advisors

This may come during the time of handover, but we can start some project over there this year?

K. P. Mahadevaswamy

Yes, definitely. Next year, we are going to start.

Whitestone Financial Advisors

Okay. Thank you.
