Risks & concerns — 7 flagged
While commodity cost inflation poses a substantial near-term risk to operating margins of projects where most of the sales have been completed, the price hikes we have taken will fully mitigate the cost pressure on upcoming projects.
— Pirojsha Godrej
So not that the first half was p,,, I PROPERTIES really cyclically weak but rather that this pandemic impact was quite strong.
— Pirojsha Godrej
At a portfolio level, yes, because we are taking that price hike, but projects which have already been sold a lot there would be some kind of margin pressure and the new launches, we are kind of increasing prices to mitigate both the cost inflation hit for that project and also some hit for the portfolio.
— Pirojsha Godrej
Because my concern is only coming that this year if you touch INR 10,000 crore plus purely on basis of volume growing beyond that it will be difficult.
— Pirojsha Godrej
So, if you could please quantify or give a ballpark figure on how much the land prices must have risen and would this likely put pressure or put hindrance to our target of getting better margins and IRR profile or plotted elements on this land parcels, please.
— Harsh Pathak
Is that putting any pressure or getting it difficult for us to procure new land parcels.
— Harsh Pathak
There has been pressure of land pricing in NCR which I have observed especially in Gurgaon but if you look at other parts of the cities like Mumbai, Bangalore, Pune, we haven't seen significant increase in land prices.

Puneet
Okay. And this is also likely to be an important year from delivery perspective, right? Any sense of what is likely to be delivery target for FY '23.
Pirojsha Godrej
Yes, I think it will be a big year for deliveries as you've said. I think we did about 6.5 million square feet in the last financial year. I think that number should at least cross 10 million square feet in the current year, if not more than that.
Puneet
Thank you, understood. And my last question is, if I look at your cash flow statement, you have broadly being spending close to INR 2,000 crore a year on development costs and you alluded to business development being the I PROPERTIES biggest priority for the current year. So, what kind of number should we pencil in for that?
Rajendra Khetawat
Yes, so Puneet, basically the construction as the progress of the projects across the sites are going up, so construction costs will also proportionately increase. And like if you see the operating cash flow, we have been able to do INR 1,750 for the year, so hopefully this operating cash flow would be positive and will be stronger as more and more projects keep getting into the launch and to the cash flow cycle. As you rightly said about the cash flow would be for the new BD purpose. That obviously would continue for at least a year or 2 where we are investing into the new BD opportunities. Otherwise operating wise, I think the cash flow would be healthy and we expect this should grow further.
Puneet
But the BD cash flow which is land approval and advanced to JV partners what can that number becomes from current --
