Rahul Thomas, executive director, Suraj Estate Developers, said: We are extremely pleased with our operational performance this quarter, particularly given that it traditionally represents a seasonally week quarter. Despite this, we achieved a commendable 14% growth in sales volume alongside a 10% improvement in realizations, showcasing the resilience and growing demand for our offerings.

The year-over-year decline in finance costs is another positive development, largely attributable to utilization of IPO proceeds for debt repayment and reduced blended average cost of borrowings. These favorable financial conditions have contributed to strengthening our bottom line and overall financial stability.

Additionally, our successful Rs 343 crore raise through a preferential issue of equity shares and share warrants marks a pivotal milestone, providing growth capital to support key initiatives, including land acquisitions, working capital enhancement, general corporate purposes, and issuance-related expenses.

Our optimism regarding the potential within the MMR region remains steadfast, and we look forward to capitalizing on its growth prospects in alignment with our vision for a robust and diversified portfolio.
