independent floors<\/a>, where we are selling the floors, tomorrow we\u2019ll be selling multi-storied apartments. This cycle is our company\u2019s perennial cycle. I think you will see it repeated most of the time. Every time we start, we may start with a plot and walk the journey quickly. Most of the proportion going forward, we believe, will be high-rise housing,\u201d Singh said.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSingh also said that though Delhi-NCR is the major market for the company, it will expand to Chennai, Goa, Pune and Mumbai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe have a fair degree of stock in Chennai, both commercial and residential. So, it is an important city for us. We have a decent opportunity in Hyderabad, some land parcels in Pune and decent parcels in Goa, and we are actively engaged in dialogues in Mumbai. I think these will be three important opportunities outside the NCR,\u201d Singh said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On future development in Mumbai through a JV model, Singh said that DLF is trying hard to find a way to make it work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI do feel that Bombay is a market where we can look at some incremental sales volumes, may not be immediately, but definitely in the medium term,\u201d said Singh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are not really going into any new city. But we are going to complete our profitable opportunities in existing cities, \u201che said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Singh believes that the Delhi market is underserved and that there is a gap between demand and supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDelhi NCR is possibly the fastest-growing urban agglomeration now and is forecast to be so for at least the next couple of decades. There\u2019s a lot of economic activity. There\u2019s a lot of money generated in the city or in this region, and a lot of demand for housing,\u201d Singh said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe vast majority of developers, especially those of a certain size and scale in this part of the country, more so than other parts actually, have either gone out of business or chosen to go slow. So, the availability issues are certainly quite stark here, \u201che added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Singh also said that the company is also looking for opportunities in Noida. DLF is not looking to pursue any opportunities in the affordable segment as it\u2019s a very construction-intensive activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Singh clarified that the company was getting itself ready to be in a position to do a REIT in case it wished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI think there is no clear finality to the decision that we are doing a REIT, this decision will be taken by both partners at the appropriate time. But we want to certainly make ourselves capable of doing a REIT in case it is possible, \u201cSingh said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The rising cost of raw materials will have an impact on the pricing of DLF. Mr\u00a0Rajiv Singh\u00a0said a five percent price hike should take care of the inflation impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are looking at possibly cost inflation to the extent of, depending on the nature of our product, as it<\/p>\n\n\n\n
seems right now, roughly around 10% + in aggregate number. Going up a little higher for products which are a bit more metal and steel-intensive. We were conservative, we kept some contingency budgets in the past also,\u201d Singh said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBut still, we may be looking at a cost increase of between five and 10%. Our product mix, fortunately, is margin rich. And therefore, that 10% of that Rs 47,000 crore should be nothing more than a number <\/p>\n\n\n\n
which is a couple of thousand crores, a five-odd percent price hike should take care of inflation impact,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, the company\u2019s desire may still to maintain margins, and therefore price increase may be in range of 7-9 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are reasonably confident that we will maintain the margin,\u201d Singh said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DLF also has no plan to raise equity and hopes to reach the zero-debt level soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DLF is India\u2019s biggest office space operator, with about 38 million sq ft of completed offices. The company\u2019s leadership believes that office demand will be robust in the coming months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
