Conclusion and Investment Strategy

The real estate sector has been affected by the pandemic and the lock-down impacted both residential and commercial sectors. Though the residential market is on a recovery path but the situations are still challenging. The Issuer has a weak financial profile with losses after tax for the last two fiscals and H1FY22. Also the Issuer’s operations are region specific and concentrated in South India. Considering these factors one may Avoid this IPO.

Reviewer recommends Avoid to the issue.
