The last quarter has seen a rapid recovery across all geographies after the second Covid wave. The residential sales across all geographies and across all ticket sizes have been robust. However, consumer confidence in the developer and project is of paramount importance.
We are also witnessing rapid consolidation in the sector whereby the amount of sales done by top developers as a percentage of overall sales is increasing gradually and significantly. Given the reduction of the inventory overhang across geographies and the rise in demand, developers are looking at acquiring new projects and we will witness increase in new launches.
All the above have been in line with our expectations and we feel that this end user driven sales is here to stay. We continue to cautiously evaluate opportunities across geographies and are looking at gradually increasing the lending book.
