Competitive Landscape
Key competitors include DLF, Godrej Properties, and Macrotech, who are capturing market share while Unitech's projects remain stalled.

Regulatory & Governance

Credit & Counterparty Risk
Trade receivables of INR 8.45 Cr in H1 FY26 represent a risk given the company's distressed operational status.
