Increased demand for residential real estate aligns well with the growth in economic activity and rising incomes. 

Tip Sheet

Upon transition to Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS), including Ind AS 115, the Company has

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.
