With their balance sheet being rock solid right now, the demand is just becoming huge. That is why they have raised fresh capital within seven months of their initial public offer (IPO).

Out of Rs 4,000 crore raised via Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP), Rs 3,000 crore will be utilised for growth, mainly in the regions MMR and Pune, as there are a lot of growth possibilities. They are planning to have Rs 14,000 crore of sales by FY24 (2023-24 financial year) and Rs 20,000 crore by FY26 (2025-26), which is about three times their number before Covid-19.

It is going to be more focused on middle income and affordable housing. The geographical focus will be around MMR and Pune, where they will use funds in a capital-light manner.

They will not purchase large parcels of land. He emphasised that the firm's debt-equity ratio is among the lowest. They are increasing in a capital-light model where because of the firm's brand and execution strength, landowners are partnering with them.
