"Over this fiscal and next, investments may rise at 15 per cent annually, reaching Rs 17.5 lakh crore compared with Rs 13.3 lakh crore in the preceding two fiscals. While adapting to the new business dynamics will pose some challenges, credit profiles of CRISIL-rated developers and projects would remain resilient," said Krishan Sitaraman, Chief Ratings Officer, CRISIL Ratings.
India's renewable energy, roads, and real estate sectors are experiencing varied trends. The renewable energy sector is witnessing an accelerated adoption of storage-linked capacities, while the roads sector is focusing more on monetisation. In the real estate sector, there is a growing trend towards premium residential projects and the influx of global capability centres (GCCs) in commercial real estate, driving developers to realign their offerings.
In the renewable energy sector, the transition towards hybrid or storage-backed capacities is addressing the intermittency of power supply. This shift facilitates the scheduling of power round-the-clock with greater confidence. For the roads sector, which has a significant multiplier effect on the economy, a pick-up in project awarding is crucial to revitalise growth.
In the real estate sector, the residential segment is seeing demand normalise after the rapid recovery following the pandemic. "Revenue growth for developers is expected to remain steady at 10-12 per cent this fiscal and next. With volume growth slated to rationalise, realisations will be supported by continuing demand for premium projects. Commercial real estate, too, will see steady net leasing growth of 7-9 per cent this fiscal and next," the CRISIL report noted.
As India continues to be a cost-efficient market for GCCs and domestic sectors grow at a steady pace, annual net leasing demand is poised to cross 50 million square feet by FY27. However, these sectors face an evolving set of challenges. Despite these risks, the credit risk profiles are likely to remain resilient across renewables, roads, and real estate.
Manish Gupta, Deputy Chief Ratings Officer, CRISIL Ratings, highlighted, "Robust operating performance over the past few fiscals and the consequent strong cash flows have kept debt levels under control. Further, healthy investor interest, as evident from equity raises as well as asset monetisation, has enabled significant deleveraging of balance sheets. Cumulatively, Rs 2.1 lakh crore of equity capital has been deployed in these sectors over the past two fiscal years, driven by strong investor participation, supporting the credit profiles of developers and projects."
