- **[METRIC] Unsold Inventory in Months of Sales** (POSITIVE, Risk: MODERATE): 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.
- **[PRINCIPLE] Execution and Delivery Track Record** (POSITIVE, Risk: MODERATE): 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%
- **[PRINCIPLE] Micro-Market Concentration and Diversification** (NEGATIVE, Risk: MODERATE): The risk is easing as the company is actively in discussions to expand into new micro-markets like Santa Cruz, Khar, and Ghatkopar, moving beyond its traditional focus on the western suburbs. (2 easing, 3 stable, 1 high-severity)
  > Portfolio of 24 Premium Residential projects across Mumbai and adjoining regions
- **[PRINCIPLE] Pre-sales Booking Velocity** (NEUTRAL, Risk: LOW): 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.
- **[TREND] Commercial Office Demand Supercycle** (NEUTRAL, Risk: MODERATE): There is a risk of a 'Supply Overhang' in the market, where a massive surge in new project launches might outpace buyer demand, leading to high vacancy rates and pricing pressure. [COMPETITIVE]

  > Gross Profit margin% Q4 FY26 17.20% Q4 FY25 67.47%

### Scenario Analysis

- The AI-driven surge in data center capacity and Global Capability Centre (GCC) leasing creates a first-order demand for the company's mixed-use and commercial real estate projects. This leads to a second-order influx of capital from NRI tech workers and high-productivity professionals whose wealth is tied to the AI boom, seeking premium residential assets in Mumbai. Ultimately, this results in a third-order structural shift where the company's focus on supply-constrained micro-markets like Mumbai's western suburbs allows it to capture the premiumization trend accelerated by AI-led economic growth. (POSITIVE)
  > Mumbai remains to be the most attractive redevelopment markets due to limited land availability and aging housing societies. This directly aligns with our redevelopment-led growth strategy.
- An Iran conflict would trigger a first-order oil shock, immediately inflating the cost of crude-linked construction materials like bitumen and paints, which have already caused a 104% surge in the company's raw material expenses. This leads to second-order margin compression and potential demand destruction in the mid-market segment as the RBI maintains higher interest rates to combat fuel-led inflation. Ultimately, the company faces a third-order structural threat where fiscal diversion toward fuel subsidies slows the infrastructure projects that underpin its property valuations, despite a minor offset from NRI 'safe-haven' buying. (NEGATIVE)
  > EBITDA margins were impacted little on the construction the materials and which had happened. If you'll see so that impacted my EBITDA margins, the construction cost which has increased due to the war.
