A very good afternoon to everyone, and thank you for joining us today. We are off to a strong start with several positive developments that set the tone for the year ahead. I would like to highlight a few key achievements that showcase our progress and momentum. We achieved a significant milestone with the highest ever pre-sales bookings of INR 657 crore in Q1 of FY 2026, representing a year-on-year growth of 31% as against INR 502 crore in Q1 of FY 2025. Building on our strong performance, we reaffirm our guidance of achieving similar or better growth for the full year of FY 2026. As the Uber luxury and premium luxury segment continues to drive a larger share of our pre-sales, we anticipate further margin expansion contributing to our overall profitability.
On the business development front, I am pleased to share the addition of 2.5 acres of redevelopment projects at Andheri, Mumbai, near Western Express Highway, with a gross development value of INR 11 billion. With this project and more to be added in the coming quarters, we are confident of taking our GDV to more than INR 500 billion from the current GDV of INR 400 billion. We are accelerating our BD activity and have already invested more than INR 3 billion in the current quarter compared to INR 1.8 billion for the full year FY 2025. We continue to scale our operations by aggressively investing to drive the growth, but at the same time, our prudent cash flow management allows our balance sheet to remain strong with negligible net debt-to-equity ratio of 0.02x.
As we are increasing our GDV value exponentially, we are gearing up for the new launches, and we have set a target to launch new projects worth INR 110 billion GDV in the coming three quarters of the financial year FY 2026. I repeat this. We have set a target to launch new projects worth INR 110 billion GDV value in the coming three quarters of the financial year FY 2026. Our strong financial foundation enables us to pursue strategic initiatives and be more agile and responsive to the changing market conditions, ultimately driving long-term value creation for the company. I shall now hand over the call to Prashant Chaubey to take you through the financial performance of Q1 FY 2026.

On the P&L front, operating revenue stood at INR 188 crore for quarter one of FY 2026.

The Sourabh line is unmuted for my end, sir .
Give it to someone else. There is some problem people are saying. There is a line with a problem. Can you give it to the third participant and unmute the line?
Sure, sir. Just give me one moment. We take the next question from the line of Abhishek Lodhiya from Motilal Oswal Financial Services Limited. Please go ahead.
Good afternoon. Am I audible?
Yeah, very much.
Yeah. Good afternoon, sir. My question is about collections. Collections somehow look a little weaker. Is there any reason to it, or how should one look at the collections?
Hi, Abhishek. Prashant this side. If you look at the collections, both on a Q1 through Q basis and on a year-on-year basis, our collections have gone up. In the coming quarters, you will see these collections improving even further. As you are witnessing, our pre-sales is coming from newly launched projects. As the construction moves ahead, you will see collections moving, collection momentum gaining further strength going forward.
Okay, sir. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you. We take the next question from the line of Vasudev from Nuvama Wealth Management Limited. Please go ahead. Vasudev, if you can please unmute your line and ask your question.
Is there a problem in your system? I think why most of the people are not able to unmute their lines now. Is there?
Yes, sir. No, sir. The previous questioner did ask his question.
Why have three people not been able to? We are not able to hear him.
Let me check once again. We do have follow-up questions from Biplab from Antique Stock Broking.
Can you ask Biplab one second?
Biplab, if you can please proceed with your question. Biplab, please unmute yourself from your end and ask your question.
There is a problem in your system. It cannot happen this way. There is a problem in your system.
Let me check. Just give me one moment, please.
There is a problem in your system, please just check.
We will move on to the next question from the line of Abhinav Sinha from Jefferies. Please go ahead.
Even he is not able to.
They can hear all of us.
We are not able to hear them.
Yes, alternate line only.
Alternate line.
Take the backup line.
Abhinav, if you can please unmute yourself and ask your question.
Everybody's unmuted.
Unmuted, yeah.
Abhinav, we can hear you now.
Okay, let me just go ahead with my questions. Back on the.
Sorry for breaking up.
Yeah, no worries, sir. Good to see the strong numbers. Just a couple of things. One is on the new launch project target that you have said of INR 110 billion in the next nine months. Can you detail what are these projects?
Yeah, Abhinav. This is the launches from ODC 5th Avenue, Sunteck City, which is close to more than INR 1,500 crore, and then Bandra Bandstand, which is more than INR 1,000 crore, Andheri, this Western Express Highway, which is the new acquisition, which is again INR 1,100 crore, and Mira Road, we are looking to launch one more new tower, which is again INR 1,000 crore. Vasai Sunteck Beach Residences, which is again two more new towers because from the old inventories, we are almost exhausting most of the inventory. Two more new towers there, close to INR 500 crore-INR 600 crore there. Now at Sunteck World, one more new phase. From there, we are looking to again garner another INR 500 crore launch, a new launch of GDV value of INR 500 crore.
Total GDV value from this launch pipeline, including on Nepeansea Road, should be close to INR 11,000 crore once we look at this three quarters.
Okay. How much of this do you think is this too few versus the second half of the year? Should we build in something like?
Abhinav, we all know that we are in the world of uncertainty in the case of approvals when it comes, which is not in the company time most of the time. That's why I gave targets for the full year, and we are confident that we will be able to launch this kind of a GDV value for this financial year of FY 2026.
Sure. The second question is on the business development side. You spent close to INR 3 billion this quarter. How much of this is for Andheri? If you can guide us, and you know what is, say, on the horizon from this money?
I would say Andheri would be very negligible. In fact, it is for almost all of the things. It's New Horizon or maybe one or two existing ones to increase the size of it.
Okay. This $500 billion GDP target, which we should achieve by March or maybe sometime next year?
We are talking about FY 2026.
March?
FY 2026.
Okay. You have to see the strong sort of outlook here. Thanks.
Thanks. Thanks.
Thank you. We take the next question from the line of Sourabh Gilda from JM Financial. Please go ahead.
Yes, hi everyone. Am I audible?
Yeah, Sourabh, you're audible now.
Yes. Hi. Congrats on the good set of numbers. Just wanted to get your outlook on the Nepeansea project. I think it has been doing very well since the launch. This quarter also, I think that has driven the luxury sales. How do you see the trajectory in FY 2026?
If you see, the sales are coming from both our luxury project, BKC and ODC, sorry, BKC and Nepeansea as well. We are looking, obviously, that way to launch all our very premium end segments, including our Banstand and Bandra West. That's why even the Western suburbs are also driving good sales. We are seeing that's why ODC and Andheri. That's how we are looking, and this will continue in FY 2026 and FY 2027. We are more focused on now Uber luxury and premium luxury.
Okay. Thanks. Just taking the collection part again, is there any collection guidance that one can look at this year?
Collection guidance, giving guidance of collection would be very hard, but we can say that we will be definitely doing much higher than what we have done collections last year because new sales which are happening here from the new new launches. Once the construction of this project starts, obviously, the collections will, you'll see that, see the exponential growth in the collections accordingly, for sure. It will be substantially more than what we have collected last year, I can say. We are talking about sales pre-sales growth of more than 30%, where we can say a year or two, there can be a similar or something. There will be a substantial growth. I can say some similar growth we can look at the collection for.
it similar as the sales growth?
Not exactly, I would say, because I am just understanding if we can at least say 0.9% of that, because see, you have to understand what we are doing. It's new sales, which are pre-sales of the new launches. New launches, the construction starts and they pick up, then the collections will pick up. That's how it is. I can say it will be substantially more than last year. Collection guidance will be very difficult for us to give right now.
Okay. Okay, sir. That's helpful. Thanks so much.
Thank you.
Thank you. We take the next question from the line of Shreyans Mehra from Equirus. Please go ahead.
Yeah, sir. Thanks for the opportunity. First, any updates on our Dubai project, and I mean, when can we expect that to come on scene? Secondly, as far as our commercial asset of everything is concerned, will the resi and commercial both come together?
Yeah. When it comes to the Dubai project, I have maintained, in fact, even in my last call, that Dubai launch will be, we are looking to be launching it closer to either Q4 of FY 2026 or Q1 of FY 2027. That's what we are targeting. We continue to maintain that. When it comes to your commercial launch, because our same resi launch and ODC launch commercial, both our 5th avenue and are related to this environment clearance approval. Once we get the approval for the resi, simultaneously, we are expecting the approval for the commercial to also come.
Got it. Got it. Sir, one last, if I can, in terms of our new GDV which we are targeting, will it be on our asset-light model or will we go for some land position? How should one look at it?
It will be a combination of, I would say, all three. All three, when I say in asset-light, it will be redevelopment as well as joint development agreements. When it comes to asset-heavy, we have been doing, if you see this quarter, we have invested almost INR 300 crore in just one quarter for new acquisitions. If you see, vis-a-vis INR 180 crore, which was invested in the last full financial year of FY 2025. We are very clear that we want to go aggressively. At the same time, we also want to launch this GDV aggressively.
Got it. Got it. That is from my side. Thank you, Anuradhan.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, if you wish to ask a question, please press star and one. We take the next question from the line of Anuj Upadhyay from Investec. Please go ahead.
Yeah, hi. Thanks for the opportunity, sir. Sir, I do understand it's difficult for you to quote a number on the collection growth for the year, but at least to get kind of a sense on the project from where we can expect the collection to be higher, a relative basis, that would be helpful. Who would be the major contributor in terms of the collection?
Obviously, a major contribution, whatever we have already launched and the constructions have already started and incremental sales happening in those like ODC, 4th Avenue, which is we have already received the occupational certificate. There we are seeing a large collection coming up. Mira Road, which is launched last year, and we have launched three towers, and the construction is going at full swing there. There we will see a huge collection. Vasai, where we have sold very heavily, and there are six towers which are under construction. There you will see a huge collection. All this will give you a number which is higher than the current FY 2025 numbers, which is much higher.
If I'm saying, I want to very clearly find that if our pre-sales grows by 30%, 35%, we might not grow collection by 30%, 35%, but we can decently look at anything closer to 20% or 20% around that look that area. That's how we are looking at it because more sales, pre-sales, if you see, are coming from the new launches. The new launches, obviously, in the next year, you will see that effect of those coming. Incrementally, you might see next year maybe we will be in line with the pre-sales growth, our collection growth, or maybe more than that.
Of course . This is very helpful. Thanks for that.
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, a reminder, if you wish to ask a question, please press star and one. Ladies and gentlemen, if you wish to ask a question, please press star and one.
