SOBHA LIMITED REAL ESTATE OPERATIONAL UPDATE - Q2 FY 2017-18A recent report from HSBC suggests that ndia is poised to become the third largest economy by 2028 . This shift is expected to take place at a much quicker pace in terms of Purchasing Power Parity (PPP). This will require consistent efforts from the Government towards introducing policy initiatives. n line with this, two major structural reforms - Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (RERA) and Goods and Services Tax (GST) have become a reality.
Despite, a decline in the GDP at 5.7 % as compared to 7.1% last fiscal, these reforms are expected to help the real estate sector to unlock the potential of everyIndian, owning a home in the longer run. The economy is well supplemented by the inflation being brought under control and gradual decrease in the home loan interest rates. It is also expected that, organized players like SOBHA should be more benefited,as these reforms bring transparency and simplicity to the business.
Our operational performance for the second quarter needs to be viewed in the backdrop of an environment where both RERA and GST came into force. While it is believed that the sector did get impacted, SOBHA has shown not only a steady, but also an improved performance for the quarter as reflected in the numbers during the second quarter. The Company during the second quarter achieved new sales volume of 861,084 square feet total valued at 6,751 million with an average realisation of 7,840 per square feet (Sobha Share of sales value at 5,927 million with an average realisation of 6,883 per square feet). The sales volume and total sales value are up by 5.6% and 8.3% respectively as compared to preceding quarter. Also, sales volume is marginally higher and total sales value is up by
22.5% as compared to Q2- 17.
It is heartening to note that we continue to perform well in our principal market Bengaluru. This was supported adequately by an improved performance in the Kochi market followed with a consistent traction in other markets. Further,it is notable that we have achieved this without launching any new projects.
The summarized real estate performance for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 is given below:
