Analysts expect tepid Q-o-Q performance in first quarter as the effects of execution ramp-up will only show-up from the October-March period of FY14 onwards. Even sales volume and value will remain flattish Q-o-Q while EBITDA margins may be muted Q-o-Q due to impact of low margin older projects.
However, analysts believe the worst is over for the company from operations perspective as visits to their sites confirm company’s focus on India Strategy execution.
Key things to watch out for would be an update on pre-sales, construction spends and handover of older projects during the quarter.
