The company is confident of achieving its FY25 business development guidance of ₹8,000 crore. While hopeful of launching projects with a GDV of ~₹5,000 crore in FY25, Mumbai launches are experiencing regulatory approval delays, which may moderately impact the annual pre-sales target.

The strategic focus for business development is shifting, with an internal guidance of 70% from Pune and 30% from Mumbai and Bangalore, aiming for scalable projects in performing and upcoming locations. The company is also adopting a capital-light model, focusing on IRR-based transactions, particularly in joint development and redevelopment.

    The company targets project-level margins of 25%-28% for outright land acquisitions and around 14%-15% for joint development and redevelopment projects, where the focus is more on achieving an IRR of 20%-25%. The adjusted EBITDA margin for 9M FY25 was 12%-12.5%, with management expecting it to continue improving towards 'early teens.' The company also clarified that adjusted EBITDA includes other income and share of profit from joint venture companies.
