Dear Shareholders,
The Indian economy has demonstrated remarkable resilience and recorded
consistent growth amidst global trade tensions and geopolitical uncertainties. Progressive
government policies, RBI?s proactive stance, and continued focus on enhancing
manufacturing capabilities are set to bolster India?s position in the global value
chain. India continues to remain the fastest growing major economy and on track to become
the fourth largest economy in the world.
The real estate sector in India is expected to reach US$ 1 trillion in
market size by 2030, up from US$ 200 billion in 2021. Resilient demand in residential real
estate segment reflects sustained consumer confidence and economic stability, while the
preference for larger homes continues to rise.
I am delighted to inform you that your Company has once again
registered strong financial results across all verticals. In the fiscal year 2024-25, we
recorded healthy profit margins across quarters and our highest ever annual consolidated
revenue, driven by robust sales momentum.
The demand for luxury real estate has remained resilient, largely
unaected by short-term economic shis, as discerning buyers continue to
purchase apartments that reflect their aspirations and lifestyle. The residential sector
has seen exceptional strength, with the luxury segment leading the way. During the year,
we launched the first phase of Oberoi Garden City (OGC) Thane in Pokhran, commenced
operations at our largest oice asset Commerz III and had a so launch of Sky
City Mall in Borivali. The launch of OGC Thane marked our second project in Thane
aer Forestville in Kolshet and received a tremendous response. These developments
reflect our vision of transforming high-potential locations into integrated lifestyle
destinations.
With India positioning itself as a GCC hub, the country?s
oice market saw record-high leasing activity and rising net absorption from global
companies. This trend underscores India?s emergence as a preferred destination for
businesses and investors alike. Our Grade-A oice assets at Oberoi Garden City
Goregaon witnessed significant traction in occupancy levels as we welcomed new tenants and
continued to see favourable leasing interests. While Commerz and Commerz II are at peak
occupancy, our newest oering Commerz III continues to scale up well with multiple
corporates on board and strong interest from reputed companies.
The retail segment has maintained its upward trajectory with demand
outpacing supply driven by strong retail consumer confidence, penchant for experiential
shopping and higher fooalls. With the launch of Sky City Mall in Borivali, we have
strategically expanded our retail porolio to complement Oberoi Mall in Goregaon,
which continues to record strong operating peormance. Sky City Mall has garnered a
tremendous response from tenants and shoppers. It has emerged as a vibrant destination,
reinforcing our commitment to creating premium retail oerings and redefining
shopping experiences.
In our hospitality vertical, the upcoming hotels Mumbai Marriott Hotel
Sky City in Borivali, The Ritz-Carlton in Worli and JW Marriott Hotel Thane Garden City in
Thane will complement our residential oerings at these locations - just as The
Westin Mumbai Garden City enhances Oberoi Garden City in Goregaon and further strengthen
our overall porolio by setting new benchmarks in urban hospitality and delivering
exceptional experiences. These hotels are strategically located within our integrated
developments and construction continues to progress as per the schedule. We remain
committed to exploring new opportunities to expand our presence in this segment.
Our social infrastructure vertical continues to pe
orm
exceptionally well through both campuses of Oberoi International School at Goregaon and
JVLR in Mumbai. Supported by world-class educational infrastructure, our students benefit
from international exposure, industry-relevant skills, and cultural adaptability. Building
on this success, and in response to the growing demand for high-quality education, we have
initiated the development of a third campus - Oberoi International School in Thane -
reairming our commitment to nurturing future-ready global citizens through holistic
and world-class learning experiences.
On the business development front, we entered into various land deals
at Alibaug and Mumbai (Worli and Bandra). We continue to actively pursue business
development opportunities and follow a calibrated approach to launch new projects,
ensuring quality and timely execution. Our approach remains measured and strategic - we
are deeply focused on evaluating each opportunity with discipline and long-term intent.
