Thank you very much. We will now begin the question-and-answer session. The first question is from the line of Jay Jain from JJ Capital.

JJ Capital

Sir, I have just two questions. Sir, first is what is the expected launch pipeline for FY27, particularly on the residential side? And by when do we expect these projects to be launched?

Rahul Thomas

So, the launch pipeline in total for this financial year is about INR1,600 crores. The launch pipeline, if I give you a synopsis, we are planning to roughly launch about INR240 crores in quarter two, almost about INR800 crores to INR880 crores in quarter three and about INR480 crores in quarter four. So, INR1,600 crores is the launch pipeline for this year.

JJ Capital

Got it. And sir, second one is, could you highlight the projects that are likely to be the biggest contributors to our sales and collections over the next 2, 3 quarters?

Rahul Thomas

Can you repeat that question again?

JJ Capital

Yes. So, could you please highlight the projects that are likely to be the biggest contributors to sales and collection over the next two to three quarters?

Rahul Thomas

For the next two to three quarters in terms of ongoing projects, it is our commercial, which is the largest. So, I think that will be the major contributor. And also in the residential side, we are launching a project called Suraj Nova, where we already are expecting the CC and the RERA very soon. So, these would be the immediate projects where you can see cash flows.

The next question is from the line of Uttam Samar from RVG Educational Foundation. As there is no response, we'll move to the next question. The next question is from the line of Rohit from ADM Advisors .

Rohit

Could you give us an update on the Bandra project specifically? Where do you stand on the remaining land acquisition and amalgamation? And has there been any change in the expected time line for the project to become launch-ready?

Rahul Thomas

So, the Bandra land parcel, there are two balance conveyances which are pending, which is underway as we speak. In terms of a launch pipeline in terms of the Bandra project, it will be in the next financial year.

Rahul Thomas

So actually, in the Luxury segment, as we speak, we do not have a lot of inventory in the ongoing projects. It is majorly the commercial project and the Value Luxury, which we have inventory. So, we are seeing traction across both these segments in both the commercial and the residential. The Luxury, we will be launching a few more projects in the Luxury segment. But of course, that's yet to be announced because we have certain talks going on with some societies. But once we tie up, those are the projects which may again come back in the Luxury segment.

The next question is from the line of Ishita Lodha from SVAN Investments.

SVAN Investments

Sir, what is the funds that we need to launch the Bandra project since it is a large one? And how are you planning to fund it? And how do you see debt going by the end of this year and next year?

Rahul Thomas

So, the initial capital will be put in through our internal accruals because we've not borrowed anything for the land for the Bandra project. And of course, we w ill be tying up with some institution once we are ready with the basic level IOD. Now whether it is a CF or NBFC, we have to see when we come closer to the launch. But right now, we are putting only our internal accruals in the plot.

SVAN Investments

And how much capital do we need to launch it? Estimated?

Rahul Thomas

Estimated premiums would be in the roughly in the range of INR300 crores to INR350 crores for the overall for the entire land parcel. And then, of course, there will be a CF limit for the construction will be separate.

SVAN Investments

And sir, your One Business Bay has seen a very good sales response. So, what is your sales strategy for the balance inventory? And what is the plan for Phase 2?

Rahul Thomas

So, as we mentioned in the commentary that we've also got our concession plan approved for the amalgamated portion. So, as we speak, the plan has already been approved. So we don't see the launch of the top line of INR800 crores coming in Q2. It will come in very soon once we amend the RERA, and we can obviously inform the exchange. And we're seeing good traction. So, our strategy is very clear that we will continue selling and continue the momentum.

SVAN Investments

Okay. And sir, you mentioned about the launch pipeline of INR1,600 crores in FY27. So apart from this project, can you name the projects that will be launched this year?

Rahul Thomas

So we have Suraj Nova, which is in Mahim, which is called Lobo Villa in our presentation. That is about almost about INR180 crores, which is expected in Q2. We have a small project called Madonna, which is in Dadar again. That's a INR60 crores top line. We are Suraj One Business Bay Phase 2, which I said will be amalgamated to the current phase, which has an INR800 crores top line. That will come in Q3. We have a small project called Shivteerth, which is at Shivaji Park, which again comes with the INR80 crores top line, which comes in Q3. And then you have three more projects coming in Q4 with a top line of approximately INR480 crores in Q4.

The next question is from the line of Harshit from RoboCapital.

Harshit

I just wanted to understand like what is going to be our accounting revenue for FY27 and '28?

Shreepal Shah

So, we will maintain the growth momentum as per last year and all subject to the launches and the timing of the launch of the new projects.

Harshit

Okay, sir. Any estimated broad range can you like guide?

Shreepal Shah

So close to 10%- 15% growth we will achieve as compared to the last financial year.

Harshit

Okay, sir. And what is going to be our EBITDA margins for the next 2 years?

Shreepal Shah

It will be in the range of 35% to 37%.

The next question is from the line of Renuka Sivsankar from First Water Capital.

First Water Capital

I just wanted to know with your commentary, you mentioned that One business Bay, the second portion is being launched in Q3. So in terms of presales, what is our outlook for the entire parcel that we are forecasting for the year for FY27?

Rahul Thomas

So Renuka, we are looking at overall, I would say, presales, of course, we're going to be selling as we see the demand, and we're seeing good traction now. So I think it will only get better with the amalgamated portion. Having said that, I think the guidance will be for the year rather than only for that particular plot isolated. But we are seeing good traction, and our target is to at least minimum sell a further 1 lakh square feet in One Business Bay. That's our minimum target.

First Water Capital

1 lakh additional for the year is for the total amalgamated plot is what you're seeing?

Rahul Thomas

Yes, in total.

First Water Capital

Yes. And what is your presales guidance for like the entire portfolio, residential plus commercial for '27?

Rahul Thomas

Overall, we're going to be targeting a presales of about INR700 crores, both put together. But internal thing will be higher. But right now, we'll be guiding for INR700 crores.

First Water Capital

Okay. And I'm sorry, I missed the number for the gross and net debt figures as of 30th June, if you can provide that, please?

Shreepal Shah

So gross debt is INR646.94 crores, and cash and cash equivalents are INR33.03 crores. So net debt is INR613.91 crores. So close to INR614 crores is the net debt.

The next question is from the line of Rajendra Pasi from NP Analyst.

Rahul Thomas

You mean carpet area, right?

Rajendra Pasi

Carpet area as well as like the total value of it. Because in the PPT, it was like, I guess, the merged value with the commercial. So can you provide the breakup of that?

Shreepal Shah

Yes. So 22,000 square feet is available as a sale for residential segment, for which the estimated GDV is close to INR109 crores.

Rahul Thomas

Commercial.

Shreepal Shah

And commercial is close to 1.4 lakhs square feet, which for me the estimated top line is INR841 crores. So total INR950 crores is the unsold inventory in total from the ongoing portfolio of projects.

Rajendra Pasi

Got it. Got it. And we are seeing that in this quarter as compared to the same quarter for the last financial year, there has been decline on the residential side. So is it mainly due to low inventory? Or are we seeing some kind of residential slowdown in the MMR market?

Rahul Thomas

No, it's mainly because of low inventory.

Rajendra Pasi

Okay. And last question would be on the Bandra project. Like we have, I guess, amalgamated two of the land parcels and third one was pending as of last quarter on call as well. So has there been any progress on that part?

Rahul Thomas

Yes, things are working out, and we are moving very quickly. We shall keep you updated once those conveyances are done.

Rajendra Pasi

But do we have any time line on the amalgamation for the third plot? When can we roughly estimate it?

Rahul Thomas

No, there's no time line me ans, see, unless we get the plot, only then we can discuss amalgamation. So I think first is to get the conveyances done and the tie -up done of the ownership, then we can give you time lines on the plot amalgamation because that is a process of the BMC. So I don't see that as an issue, mainly is to get the balance plots tied up.

Rajendra Pasi

Okay. But it should be done within this financial year, right?

Rahul Thomas

Our target is before that. Let's see how it shapes up.

Moderator

The next question is from the line of Ishita Lodha from SVAN Investments.

SVAN Investments

What is the target for OCF operating cash flow generation and collections for this financial year?

Shreepal Shah

We can discuss offline, Ishita.

The next question is from the line of Sahil from Sahil Securities.

Sahil

A couple of questions from my side. First is given the most of the ongoing portfolio's sold area already being monetized…

Moderator

Sorry to interrupt, Sahil, sir. Your voice is breaking in between.

Sahil

Given that most of the ongoing portfolio sold area has already been monetized, where do you see the next leg of sales growth coming from? So new launches or absorption of existing inventory?

Rahul Thomas

Is your question about the new launches and where do you see the next cash flows coming from?

Sahil

Yes, next sales growth from where it will come from new launches or absorption of existing inventory?

Rahul Thomas

Your voice is not very audible, but I'm assuming…

Sahil

From where the growth will come from new launches or absorption of existing inventory?

Rahul Thomas

It is both. It is both because we have already a launch pipeline, which we discussed earlier of INR1,600 crores for this year. So it will be coming as an amalgamation of both. So the presales will come from both upcomi ng launches and also with the unsold area, which we already currently have.

Sahil

Okay. And one more question. So how do you see the company's debt position evolving over the next 12 to 18 months? And how much de-leveraging we can expect?

Rahul Thomas

Can you repeat that? Sorry, I'm not -- your voice is not audible.

Moderator

Your voice is not clear, Sahil Sir.

Sahil

So just wanted to understand like how the company's debt position evolving over the next 12 to 18 months and how much de-leveraging we are expecting?

Rahul Thomas

So as we have new launches and as you can see, there's a INR1,600 crores pipeline, which is being created for this year, there will be a debt level which will be going up. But as I said, it will be going up temporarily. And because of the good traction of sales, especially in our commercial projects and also in the Value Luxury, it will be an initial increase and again come down on a sustainable basis.

Moderator

The next question is from the line of Sakshi Pratap from Pratap securities.

Rahul Thomas

So not as yet, Sakshi. We are actually in talks with a couple of societies, and we don't see -- I mean, of course, they also want to go with the builder who's well known in the area. And I think that's where we come in, in South Central Mumbai. So yes, of course, there is competition, and there are many people getting into redevelopment. But overall, we don't see any increase because the deals which we are discussing is pretty standard, and we're not giving them very addition -- too much additional area. So I think it's a very standard deal.

Sakshi Pratap

Understood. Got it. Secondly, sir, what kind of pricing movement have you seen in Business Bay since launch? And is there scope for any further price appreciation as the project progresses?

Rahul Thomas

So see, right now, I mean, we've achieved roughly about an average of INR50,000 per square foot. So I think there will be appreciation as a project goes along, right? Right now, we have the basement level. But having said that, we are working on our velocity right now, and I think that's our main focus. And once the project comes up to a decent stage in terms of RCC, then we can also talk about increase of rates. But right now, our focus is on velocity.

As there are no further questions from th e participants, I now hand the conference over to management for closing comments.

Rahul Thomas

In conclusion, Q1 FY27 marked a quarter of healthy operational progress for the company, supported by resilient customer demand, strong sales momentum and cont inued absorption across our residential and commercial portfolio. With a healthy ongoing and upcoming project pipeline, selective additions to the development portfolio and a continued focus on a disciplined execution and timely monetization, we remain well positioned to build on the momentum achieved during the quarter and capitalize on the long-term growth opportunities across South Central Mumbai. Thank you so much.
