1. Executive Summary

The company sold 1.26 million sq. ft. worth ₹670 Cr, a 22% QoQ and 14% YoY increase, reflecting robust demand.

Q4 FY25 is expected to be a major rebound quarter, with ₹500 Cr+ revenue from previously deferred projects.

Financials stable but impacted by delays, with EBITDA at ₹43.9 Cr (+14% YoY, +230% QoQ) and PAT at ₹13 Cr (-30% YoY).
