Although the outlook for the world economy has grown gloomier, India's economic development is still expected to grow, albeit with some deceleration. We believe India’s real estate market is likely to maintain its current upward trend backed by the solid structural foundation and gain in demand. We are confident in continuing to add value for all our stakeholders by delivering growth and margin expansion through optimal utilization of capital.
 
Upon transition to Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) including Ind AS 115, the Company had moved from the erstwhile percentage of completion method of revenue recognition to a completed contract method of revenue recognition. The aforesaid change in the timing of revenue recognition has brought a significant variation in the periodical financial results as the revenue is no longer recognised rateably over the project execution period but recognised upon completion of the project and handover of flats to the customers. Consequently, the financial results do not truly depict the Company’s project execution and sales efforts on a periodical basis. The above accounting impact is very evident in our current period’s financial results.
