From the Q&A
| Topic | What management said |
|---|---|
| Execution Priorities & Risks | Focus is on executing projects launched in Q4 FY26; sees temporary cost pressures but no significant demand shifts; notes government stability and pro-growth policies. |
| Capital Allocation and Funding | Maintains internal debt-to-equity target of 1x, currently at 0.7x; can use AIFs at SPV level if needed; equity is a last resort. Cost of debt is stable at 9.6%. |

| JDA vs. Own Land Margins & ROCE | Blended FY27 margin guidance is 17-19%; own land margins are 25-26%, JDA margins are ~20% but currently lower due to early stage. JDA model is more capital efficient and supports >20% ROCE target. |
