Nascent stage of the project
The project is currently at a nascent stage of development. The land is fully owned by the landowners, who, along with the developers, are yet to execute a Joint Development Agreement (JDA) with House of Pradhaan LLP, the designated developer. Following the execution of the JDA, the developer will be required to obtain statutory approvals, including layout plans, building permits, environmental and aviation clearances, and register the project under RERA. These approvals and the RERA registration are expected to be completed within six months of signing the JDA. Acuité believes that timely commencement of the project execution by obtaining all the approvals and registration would remain a rating monitorable.
High Project Execution Risk
The project, Pradhaan City KR Puram, is currently at a nascent stage with the Joint Development Agreement (JDA) with Landowners and House of Pradhaan LLP yet to enter along with pending statutory approvals, including RERA registration. Construction is expected to commence in Q1 FY2026 spanning over 4 to 5 years. The total estimated cost of the project is ~Rs. 1,558 Cr. This is proposed to be funded through promoters contribution of ~Rs. 54 Cr., Rs.120 Cr. through Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs), and Rs.1,384 Cr. from customer advances. Of the promoter contribution, Rs.20 Cr. has already been infused as an advance to landowners. The NCDs have been sanctioned with a term sheet in place; however, the issuance is pending. The project is therefore significantly reliant on customer advances, which are expected to be mobilized post-launch.
Project implementation risk remains high due to the early stage of development and pending approvals. Funding risk is also elevated, given the dependence on customer advances and the pending issuance of NCDs. Demand risk is assessed high as well, considering nascent stage of the project, however these risks are mitigated to an extent as location of the project is with proximity to the Metro and Ring Road in Bangalore. Acuité believes that any delay in commencement and completion of the project likely to lead to the cost or time overruns, thus it will remain a key rating sensitivity.
Susceptibility to geographical concentration, real estate cyclicality, regulatory risks and intense competition in the industry
The operations of the group are majorly located in and around Bangalore which keeps the firm exposed to geographic concentration risk. Further, the real estate industry in India is highly fragmented with most of the real estate developers, having a city specific or region-specific presence. The risks associated with real estate industry are cyclical in nature and directly linked to drop in property prices and interest rate risks, which could affect the operations. The firm’s track record, quality of construction and delivery timelines will be crucial aspects that home buyers will consider in their purchase decisions. Moreover, the industry is also exposed to certain regulatory risks linked to stamp duty and registration tax directly impacting the demand and thus the operating growth of real estate players. Hence, business risk profile will remain susceptible to risks arising from any industry slowdown. |
