3. OUTLOOK FOR INDIAN ECONOMY & INDUSTRIAL STRUCTURE:

India has emerged as the fastest growing major economy in the world and is expected to be one of the top three economic powers in the world over the next 5 years, backed by its robust democracy and strong partnerships.

A number of sectors in India - real estate, steel, cement, home building products and consumer durables, among others - reported unprecedented growth. By 2040, the real estate market will grow to ' 65,000 Crore (US$ 9.30 billion) from ' 12,000 Crore (US$ 1.72 billion) in 2019. Real estate sector in India is expected to reach US$ 1 trillion in market size by 2030, up from US$ 200 billion in 2021 and contribute 13% to the country's GDP by 2025. Retail, hospitality and commercial real estate are also growing significantly, providing the much-needed infrastructure for India's growing needs.

India's real estate sector is expected to expand to US$ 5.8 trillion by 2047, contributing 15.5% to the GDP from an existing share of 7.3%.

In FY23, India's residential property market witnessed with the value of home sales reaching an all-time high of ' 3.47 Lakh Crore (US$ 42 billion), marking a robust 48% year-on-year increase.

Indian real estate developers operating in the country's major urban centers are poised to achieve a significant feat at the end of 2024, with the completion of approximately 558,000 homes.

India's physical retail landscape is poised for a substantial boost, with nearly 41 million sq. ft of retail developments set to be operational between 2024 and 2028 across the top 7 cities, encompassing projects in various stages from construction to planning.

According to the Economic Times Housing Finance Summit, about three houses are built per 1,000 people per year compared with the required construction rate of five houses per 1,000 population. The current shortage of housing in urban areas is estimated to be not less than 10 million units. An additional 25 million units of affordable housing are required by 2030 to meet the growth in the country's urban population.

The real estate sector is likely to continue on its journey of long term growth as we see a continuous rise in GDP per capita, larger disposable incomes, growing urbanization and most of all a larger focus of the world on us as the next big economy.

An increase in earning potential, a need for a better standard of living and the growing base of aspirational consumers and their lifestyle changes have led to substantial growth in the sector. With suited economic growth, the premium housing segment will also witness higher demand in the years to come.

India's growth continues to be resilient despite some signs of moderation in growth, although significant challenges remain in the global environment, India was one of the fastest growing economies in the world.

4. FUTURE PROPSECTS AND OUTLOOK OF THE COMPANY:

The Company witnessed an uptick in residential real estate demand compared to the year before. Your Company has been actively focusing on improving on-site facilities to create a safe working environment for workforce and reduce the impact of reverse migration. We believe that government reforms will lead to improved governance in the sector, increase transparency and bring about consolidation amongst real estate players. The Company remains positive about the long-term direction of the sector on back of higher consumer confidence and increasing affordability due to declining interest rates, stagnant real estate prices and rising disposable income. We believe that we are in a strong position to benefit from such expected shifts in the sector. With our good track record and excellent sales and marketing capabilities the Company in Southern India and operating currently also in Western India (Maharashtra and Rajasthan) is well poised for a high growth trajectory over the next few years.

Your Company will focus on opportunistic growth avenues in current environment to create a healthy project pipeline across its markets. Fast turnaround deals shall be a specific focus area for new deals in F.Y 2023-2024. When evaluating new projects, the Company will continue to seek superior long-term growth in shareholder value by maximizing returns through optimal financing and fiscal discipline. The Company shall also enhance agility across its processes to further reduce project launch turnaround times. These shall provide your company with the competitive edge in operational excellence and customer experience respectively.

A consolidation in the residential real estate sector is expected to continue, leading to an increase in the market share of branded organized players such as your Company. Given the pace of urbanization, low interest rates and rising per capita disposable incomes, Country Condo's remains optimistic about the long-term sectorial direction. With a strong brand, South-India presence in Hyderabad, Chennai and Bengaluru and commencing from this FY 2024-25 in West-India presence at Kolad, Mumbai, Jaipur and Sikar demonstrated track record and robust marketing capabilities, your Company is poised for a better growth trajectory comparing to the current year.
