🚩 Risks & Outlook
The management, led by MD & CEO Amar Sarin, is focused on disciplined execution, calibrated launches, and strategic pipeline expansion. A key strategic objective is achieving Net Debt Zero, moving from current gross debt exceeding ₹1,900 crore. This target is supported by projected cash flows of approximately ₹10,000 crore over the next five years, with substantial year-on-year increases anticipated from FY26. Future revenue recognition is robust, with over ₹1,000 crore for TARC Tripundra and around ₹8,000 crore for TARC Kailasa & Ishva expected in upcoming fiscal years. The company also emphasizes its ESG commitment, aiming for a 100% green-certified residential portfolio.
