Commenting on the outcome of the Board Meeting, Mr. Kamal Singal, Managing Director and CEO,

Arvind SmartSpaces commented, “We are extremely delighted to welcome Mr. Vipul Roongta to our Board. This partnership with HDFC Capital Advisors will give us a key competitive advantage in the market and the coming together of two of India’s most trusted brands and businesses will help unlock immense value for all our stakeholders.”

Mr. Singal further added, “The real estate segment has seen a strong revival in consumer sentiments in second quarter of FY22 resulting in sales volumes and new launches across the country reaching almost pre-pandemic levels. Strong branded developers like Arvind SmartSpaces are well poised to capitalize on these improved sentiments. Driven by strong product portfolio and some very successful recent launches, our Fresh Sales have shown a growth of 17% YoY during Q2FY22 and 64% YoY during H1FY22. Our Net debt levels are at the lowest since our listing which gives us strong headroom to leverage and fund our next wave of growth. The Company is well poised to enter into next cycle of growth and investments in new projects owing to very strong internal accruals, increased equity base and significant headroom available to raise fresh debt.”

“An all-time low interest rates along with one of the highest affordability index, organic and pandemic driven preference for real estate as a preferred investment option by the consumers etc. are some of the positive macro trends which reinforce our optimism in the real estate sector and the Company is well positioned to capitalise on the same. We are working towards imminent augmentation of our project pipeline aggressively across focused geographies and product segments. The addition of two new projects, one at Devenahalli under HDFC Platform and another at Sarjapur, Bangalore indicate beginning of our post pandemic fresh investment cycle.” Mr. Singal said.
