And more other inflows that you're expecting next year?
Next year inflow order will be around INR25,000 crores. And we'll go in to award around INR12,000 crores to INR15,000 crores in the coming year, we’ll go in to award the work.
Okay. Then sir, just few more questions from my side. On 7 GPRA Colony what is the unsold inventory pending in these projects?
Almost World Trade Center> we have sold almost 98%, Only another some 80,000 square feet is unsold. so that 1 think we're going to sold during this month and June month. And we have Sarojini Nagar bulk sale. So that we'll also –sell it very soon. we will completed the project.
We got the NO(.- also hom Fire Department. So now we have to get the Occupancy Certificate. Once Occupancy Certificate is receivedp means immediately we’ll going to sell it off. So the inventory is only around INRI,400 crores, only balance with us, almost FNR12,000 crores inventory we sell it off Okay. And the Nauroji Nagar1 what is the unsold inventory which is now just pending for this 80,000 square feet? 80,000 square feet only So what will be the value for this?
Around INR240 crores – INR300 crores Okay. And sir! on the Amrapali Projects now what is our pending order book, unexecuted portion?
Rs.1500 Cr is pending is to be executed. And we got additional – future INR10,000 crores order. So the appointment of consultant already over, and we're going to call a tender for execut lon.
Okay. And so earlier you mentioned that we'll be looking toward INR4,0C)0 crores. Is that number correct? yes9 we're going award. INR4>000 crores3 we're going to award in Amrapali. I think we're going to generate around INRl9000> INRl>200 crores we're going to execute in Amrapali during this year. Page 6 of 12
w?{Pv#r)s ! . N BCC UH%4 A RmI dWwf Md sir9 on the land bank. So I just want to ask what is the land bank that we currentIY have on NB(.-c books right now? And what we the monetization plans for this land?
We have around 39 acre land in our books, valuing of INR652 crores, of which we have land parcel in Jaipur! Coimbatore and some land parcel in Ghaziabad also. Recently, we have called consultant tendering for Jaipur and contractor – one package we already called for the commercial property appointment of contractor also. So that we're going to take care in the next year.
Okay. What is the sales value> expected sales value from this land that we have?
This land is around, you can say INRI,000 crores, INRI,200 crores -- including land value Including the land value. Okay. And sir? just last 2 more questions. So we sold about INR192 crores of real estate this year. So what is the target for next YeaF? And how much is our unsold inventory then?

The next question is from the line of Nikhil Abhyankar from ICICI Securities Please go ahead.
Sir can you mentioned the split between the PM(.- and redevelopment of our total order book?
PMC around 66% and redevelopment around 34% 34%. Okay. And sir) you mentioned earlier that you are ]ooking to improve Your margins bY almost around 1% or something. so what exactly will drive this increase in EBITDA margins, if I may understand?
We are getting the redevelopment project at Amrapali and 7 GPRA> there we are gettlng 8% PMC- 1% marketing fee. so that is the main reason we are getting increase in fees. And at the same time! we are selling our real estate inventory where our profit margin will be around 20% to 25%. so that is a reason last year! our EBITD A was 4.47%! previous year, ’22-'23, and we achieved last year 5.4%. There is an increase of 1% EBITD A. The reason is we executed more real estate projects and we sell some INR192 crores real estate projects also. Page 7 of 12
@ wd tft i+ (+ion fbftas { WeT {WE ann ;
Understood. So we are not expecting any increase in margins for the PMC business?
Definitely, we are trying to get some more business in the PMC only. Of course, if it is not redevelopment) we are expecting some workload form BHEL, SAIL. A lot of PSU are having land banks and even Jammu Kashmir9 Srinagar they have 415 acre land parcel. After this Code of Conduct, I think we are going to get that order. So we are hoping with so many land parcels across India, not in Delhi. In Delhi also we're trying to get 2 more projects in Delhi.
Okay. And sir if I can ask on the subsidiary part, so how much is the revenue EBITDA and PAT for HSCC and Hindustan Steelworks?
HSCC last year around INRI,500 crores turnout from HSCC and the HSCL INR800 crores. So this year3 1 think we are expecting from HSCC INRI,600 crores to INRI,800 crores, and around INR900 crores to INRI,000 crores from HSCL. And we have one more subsidiary that is NSL from there we got INR280 crores. INR280 crores this year?

The next question is from the line of Nikhii Abhyankar from ICICI Securities Please go ahead Sir, I wanted to ask on the international projects front. So what is the status of projects we were doing in Maldives, Mauritius and I guess also in Seychelles and Burundi I guess?
Maldives is going at a good pace. This is almost 65% complete and remaining 35% left. And Mauritius already handed over two big projects, Supreme Court and Special Housing and three projects are ongoing. We are also exploring as we have told in Dubai new land parcels in real estate business.
With regard to Burundi that project is kept on hold because of bank. They have some financial issues with some foreign country. So that is kept on hold. We are also exploring new business in Guinea, that is Guinea-Conakry Africa for a hospital project. So these are the major projects which are in pipeline. Seychelles we are already doing chancery building we are going to start another chancery building project.
I mean how are these projects placed in terms of receivables or the cash flowing – are they any cash flow sign?
So these major projects are all on PMC basis except for Maldives, where we EPC. There are margins around 14%7 15%. And the way we are expecting because of the real estate venture, So we are expecting a return from there of 20%, around 20%. Rest all the projects are PMC, we are getting a fees on that Okay. And we did not face any pressure in the Maldives project once we had some kind of geopolitical tensions between us? Page 10 of 12

By two quarters we will be going to hand it over to Ministry. That is our 100 days agenda. And of course in GPOA I officer block we're going to complete and hand it over to the Ministry. These two are the main agendas for the 100 days Okay. And sir, you mentioned about the BHEL order. Can you explain us what exactly is the scope of this order? How big is that and what is the potential value?
BHEL order is actually these are all redevelopment and monetization of their land parcel Major chunk of land parcel is in Bhopal. They have huge land parcel they are owning here.
