Fresh bookings continued to be robust and 2.62 mn sq. ft. was booked during the quarter ended June 30th, 2011 taking the aggregate booked area to 41.83 mn sq. ft. At the same time, we offered the possession for additional 2.39 mn sq. ft. in the quarter. The company’s proven track record on execution and delivery of projects and vast presence in Tier II and III cities has made it possible for us to increase sales even in times of high interest rate regime.”
Commenting on the outlook for current fiscal, Mr. Rohtas Goel, CMD, Omaxe, said: “The Company has been receiving a lot of demand from end users in its mid-income residential projects in Lucknow, Chandigarh, Ludhiana, etc. and high-end housing in Noida and Faridabad. Further, residential plots across all geographies continue to be a market favorite among long-term buyers. There is a visible stress on purchasing power of mid-income buyer due to slew of hikes in lending rates during the last few quarters. This will definitely impact demand in certain regions. However, India still needs millions of houses in the long run to cater to its population growth.”
