REAL ESTATE OPERATIONAL UPDATE - Q4 FY 2020-21
The financial year gone by will remain etched in history as the year of unprecedented challenges, disruptions, and the way human race came together to come out of this crisis. The COVID-19 pandemic has created a lasting impact on our lives and livelihood. Though rollout of vaccination has brightened the economic outlook, some uncertainties still remain at the macro level. The challenge for both public and private enterprise is to put the economy back on a healthy growth trajectory and ensure that the same is achieved at a quicker pace. Our economy has a large consumption potential due to the sizeable population we have, which will help in quick revival across sectors. This is further backed by upward GDP growth forecast by Moody's to 13.7% for FY-22. These are positive signs of recovery and have instilled the confidence that growth and revival story is here to stay.
We believe COVID has changed the way people look at their homes in India. Real estate sector revival looks to be a long-term structural story though some headwinds remain. Low cost availability of home loans with income tax benefits is pushing demand for homes including the larger homes. However, uncertainties of second COVID wave and its impact is yet to be assessed. Similarly increase in input cost also needs to be monitored. Sobha, due to its unique self-reliant business model, will be able to face any such future challenges.
We are pleased to inform that Q4-21 has been best ever quarter in the history of the company on all the operational parameters. This reflects the efforts made by the company in having launches at the right place, digital marketing, optimum utilization of in-house capabilities and operational efficiency. SOBHA's foray into multiple regions is yielding results with market share gains across all the operating cities.
