The company’s revenue declined by 43% to Rs 334 crore due to higher expenses, which were booked under the P&L as per Ind AS 115 accounting standards and lower handovers which further impacted revenue recognition.

The growth in collections is a clear reflection of our strong operational efficiency and business performance.
