Puravankara Limited announced that its unlisted subsidiary, Starworth Infrastructure & Construction Ltd, has received a Letter of Award (LOA) from SBR Builders. The order, valued at ₹211.53 crore, is for the construction of core and shell with finishes for the proposed residential project, "SBR Global Queen’s Ville." Puravankara clarified that this is not a related party transaction.
In addition to this new contract, Puravankara's Managing Director, Ashish Puravankara, revealed plans to launch around 15 million square feet of projects within the next 12 to 15 months. The company targets achieving about 65% of this launch pipeline by March 2026. Puravankara anticipates strong sales from these upcoming projects, building on its history of selling 70-80% of launched phases within the first two quarters.
For the second quarter of FY26, the company reported pre-sales of ₹1,322 crore, an increase of 4% year-on-year, with customer collections at ₹1,047 crore. Half-year pre-sales reached ₹2,445 crore. The company noted that these sales are from ongoing projects, and the full benefit of new launches is expected in Q3 and Q4.
Impact:
The ₹211.53 crore order provides a significant boost to Puravankara's order book and revenue visibility. The aggressive launch strategy of 15 million sq ft indicates substantial future growth potential. Investors will closely monitor the execution of this new order and the success of the planned project launches in driving pre-sales and profitability.
