Rahul Talele, Group CEO, Kolte-Patil Developers said, I am happy to report robust operational performance for FY24, with record-high sales value, volumes, and collections. The residential real estate sector experienced remarkable growth this year due to factors such as rising disposable incomes, greater affordability, robust economic growth, policy reforms, and stable interest rates that encouraged home buying. Capitalizing on this rising demand for home ownership and high quality living, we launched new projects worth Rs. 3,816 crore. These projects, aligned with the evolving needs of our customers, enabled us to achieve an impressive 63% pre-sales from these newly launched projects.

In FY24, our sales grew by 26% YoY to Rs. 2,822 crore, and volumes increasing by 20% YoY to 3.9 million square feet. Strong execution led to rapid progress across projects, resulting in highest-ever collections of Rs. 2,070 crore. We ended the year with revenues of Rs. 1,372 crore. Balance-Sheet remains healthy and cash flows robust, enabling the Board to recommend a final dividend of Rs. 4 per equity share.

As we look to the future, we remain confident in the long-term prospects of the real estate sector. In FY25, we are confident of delivering sales of Rs. 3,500 crore. The solid foundation laid in FY24 positions us to achieve even greater milestones in FY25 and beyond, with a focus on innovation, execution excellence, and enhancing customer experience.
