⚙️ Operational Drivers

Raw Materials

Key materials include steel, cement, fuel, and logistics services. While specific % of total cost per material is not disclosed, raw materials represent a significant cost component subject to periodic inflation.

Import Sources

Not disclosed in available documents; typically sourced domestically for Indian real estate projects.
