Revenue from operations fell to Rs 133.4 crore in the second quarter of this fiscal, from Rs 524.5 crore in the corresponding period of the previous year.
Commenting on the performance, company's CMD Kamal Khetan said, "The first quarter of FY2018 has witnessed profound regulatory changes taking shape such as RERA (real estate law) and GST. We underline our support to these positive measures".

He said the company has applied for RERA registration for all ongoing projects, and obtained the registration number for two projects.
"GST has also been implemented across our projects. We believe these reforms are setting the stage for sustainable growth for organized developers," Khetan said.
