transfer to reserves
During the year under review, in view of the losses, the Board
of Directors of your Company has decided not to transfer any
amount to the General Reserves.
Omaxe has a successful track record of delivering 132
million square feet of construction projects up to 31st March
2023. This includes 132 million square feet of their own real
estate developments and from construction contracting
services. During the fiscal year 2022-23, Omaxe completed
the delivery of 2.75 million square feet. These deliveries
encompassed projects located in various cities such as
Chandigarh, Lucknow, Faridabad, Ludhiana, and Vrindavan.
During FY 23, Omaxe grew its sales by more than 25%
from 618 crores to 773 crores and also expanded its reach
from 28 cities to 29 cities.
NEW LAUNcHES During FY2022-23
During the period under review, your Company''s new
launches were strategically located in prominent cities
such as Faridabad, New Chandigarh, Lucknow, Ratlam and
Ludhiana. The group''s net worth as of the end of FY 2022-23
stood at Rs. 898 crores.
The Indian Real Estate sector''s outlook for the year 2023
and near future is upbeat with strong demand from both
Residential and Commercial segments driving healthy
growth. The Residential sector is likely to continue to be the
key growth driver, with the key factors driving the demand
being rising incomes, increasing urbanization with high
growth of Tier-II and Tier-III cities especially, and a growing
population. The commercial sector is also expected to
perform well, with demand being driven by factors such as
the economy''s expansion, growth of the IT-BPM and BFSI
sectors, expansion of the manufacturing sector, continued
growth of e-commerce and co-working spaces, and the
acceleration of Return-To-Office mandates.
Key trends and highlights related to the outlook for the Indian
Real Estate sector in 2023 are:
⢠In CBRE''s India Live-Work-Shop 2022 survey, the Indian
consumers who were planning to relocate showed the
highest preference to buy homes than rent as compared
to other countries. Nearly 72% indicated they intend to buy
a home. This includes the Millennials, who were dubbed
as ''Generation Rent'', with ~70% indicating a preference
to buy instead of rent. Hence, housing demand is likely to
sustain even amidst the impact of monetary tightening
and economic slowdown.
⢠Mid-end residential segment that constituted the
maximum in terms of sales and new launches in 2022
is expected to drive the momentum going forward.
With the withdrawal of affordable housing incentives
by the Government, this segment is likely to witness
some rationalization. In terms of % growth, the luxury
and premium segments are likely to grow the fastest,
however, given their smaller contribution their overall
impact on residential growth will be overshadowed by
the mid-end and high-end segments.
⢠Aggregate office-based employment across top six Indian
cities is projected to grow by 5 - 7% in 2023, however,
India''s status as an attractive source of high calibre and
cost-effective talent will result in continued expansion
ofdemand for leasing of Office space. For e.g., more than
500 Global Capability Centres are likely to be set-up by
2026, i.e., addition of a third of the total GCCs already
set-up till end of 2022.
⢠Leasing in investment-grade buildings from leading
and institutional developers/ owners was 40 - 45% of
the overall activity in 2022. This share will continue to
remain at 30% levels going forward because of factors
such as IT-BPM and BFSI sectors continuing to be the
main growth drivers and focus on complying with ESG
regulations that prescribe ambitious net-zero targets.
⢠CBRE''s India Live-Work-Shop survey showed that 91%
Employers prefer their employees to work from office
for 3 or more days in a week. Hence, Return-To-Office
mandates will drive increase in occupancy rates in
offices, while the longer term trend of offering hybrid
working as a retention strategy would continue. Select
Tier-II markets will see companies setting up offices to
be closer to their talent pool.
⢠With the consumer demand including on discretionary
spending expected to remain robust in 2023 despite
impeding slowdown, the Retail segment is likely to see
increased activity in terms of supply addition and leasing.
Combined with the consumer preference for shopping
in-store across various product categories, the outlook
for near future is secure for the segment.
⢠Construction costs including material, energy and labour
are expected to ease in 2023 whereas robust demand
will create room for price/ rental growth in key markets.
Hence, companies that can benefit from these trends will
see reasonable increase in profitability.
Overall, the Indian real estate sector is expected to grow
at a healthy pace in 2023 and players that will align their
operations in line with the above trends are likely to benefit
the most.

Though the Company had intended to spend entire CSR budget during this year, sufficient number of trainees could not be enrolled for NETAP training and hence the entire CSR budget could not be spent. This was because the enrollment as trainees under NETAP required fulfillment of certain eligibility criteria like age restriction up to 35 years, having Aadhar card, bank account, etc. This restricted the number of people who could enroll under NETAP However, the Company endeavors to train maximum number of people under its NETAP-CSR project.
