Commenting on the company’s performance, Ashish R Puravankara, Managing Director, Puravankara Limited, said, “Despite the ongoing challenges, the real estate sector has bounced back strongly on the back of India’s economic revival. The residential market has witnessed a sharp recovery in sales momentum and the trend has continued even in Q4FY22. There has been a good amount of pent-up demand generated over the past 2 years, which is now unlocking. This is supported by lower interest rates, rising income, affordable prices, and renewed buyer confidence.”
He added, “We are happy to close the financial year with our best ever annual sales of INR 2407 crores and operating inflow of INR 2231 crores. There has been significant traction in under construction projects where sales grew by 51% on year on year basis. And with the new launches planned in the coming quarters, we are in a good position to leverage the growth momentum. We are confident and positive as we work towards achieving sustained growth going forward.”

This has enabled us to identify the core ESG areas – climate protection and water, human rights and health & safety, diversity & inclusion, ethics & integrity and customer engagement. Our ESG report underscores our commitment towards protecting our planet and empowering people within and beyond our organization. While we celebrate the milestones we have achieved so far, we also recognize that we can always do better and will continue to do so.”
