What could break the thesis?
STABLE. The company continues to position itself as a 'premium' developer and is targeting 'aspirational housing' with high-rise towers. (3 stable)
“Luxury Concentration: 50%+ of residential sales skew >₹1 Cr; mid-income affordability gap widening despite rate cuts”
Inventory risk is easing in key projects. Rashmi Celestia is nearly 100% sold with only 4 units left. Rashmi Vasudeo is 100% sold out. However, Rashmi Signature remains slow due to delayed sample flat starts. (1 easing, 4 stable)
“In terms of percentage completion in booking, Rashmi Square has achieved nearly 69% booking and Rashmi Signature has approximately reached 50% booking.”
The risk is easing as the company has successfully migrated to a faster execution cycle, delivering projects within 2 years and obtaining BMC approvals within a 2-month window. (2 easing, 1 stable)
“Rashmi Icon ... Project Completion (%) 14.27% ... Rashmi Avenue ... 0.60%”
Margins have significantly improved and stabilized. EBITDA margins rose to 22.32% for the 9-month period, with management targeting a sustainable bracket of 22% to 25% going forward. (1 easing)
“Borrowings FY26 5.62 FY25 3.34”
Certain projects, such as Rashmi Manorath, are experiencing slower sales traction, requiring the company to change internal policies and increase reliance on third-party sales partners. [EXECUTION]
“Rashmi Manorath has seen less traction, for that we have started our internal policies and we are hiring channel partners more and more on the project.”
