"After a decade of muted performance, KPDL is witnessing a strong growth in pre-sales as bookings reported 36% CAGR over FY21-23. Given its strong pipeline, we believe the company can maintain 25% CAGR in pre-sales at least for the next two years with further room for growth from new project additions," it said.

"While the sustainability of growth beyond that level depends on its ability to close new project additions, the pick-up in pace of BD activity in the last 18 months as well as its strong balance sheet should enable KPDL to focus on project acquisitions. Its past track record of steady margins and cash flows also implies that growth will be underpinned by profitability and execution," Motilal Oswal added.

The brokerage firm noted that during FY12-21, KPDL’s bookings remained stagnant at Rs 1200-1300 crore, with pre-sales volume sustaining at 2.0-2.5msf, barring a few good years (FY12/FY15/FY19).

However, the emergence of multiple growth levers, such as improved demand sentiment post-Covid, scale-up in launches of society redevelopment projects in MMR, and adoption of a multi-product strategy in its township project ‘Life Republic’, resulted in a 36% pre-sales CAGR, reaching a record Rs 2200 crore over FY21-23.
