What could break the thesis?
STABLE. Estimated value of unsold inventory in launched projects is ₹2,111 Cr. While significant, it is balanced by ₹2,639 Cr in pending collections from sold units. (3 stable, 1 easing, 1 high-severity)
“Estimated Value of Unsold Inventory: 14,098”
STABLE. The company continues to focus exclusively on MMR and Pune. 100% of its current land bank (~100 acres) remains in Thane, and all 7 JDA projects are in Mumbai (Bandra, Mahim, Sion, Wadala). (5 stable, 1 high-severity)
“100 Acre Thane Land Bank... 7 JDA Projects Signed... All projects are in a strategic perimeter around BKC”
INTENSIFYING. Net cash position declined from ₹233 crores to ₹48 crores due to a ₹1,151 crore outflow for construction and approval costs for upcoming launches. (3 intensifying, 2 stable)
“So, the short answer to your question is going forward for the next two years, we will be cash negative on an overall basis but internal accruals will keep on growing and we will keep reinvesting them in building the balance sheet and growing our portfolio because growth has a price to be paid and cash flow is that price you have to pay.”
