New Delhi: Realty firm Unitech Ltd on Saturday reported a consolidated net loss of 65.82 crore for the quarter ended September on higher finance cost and operational expenses. Its net loss was at 14.69 crore in the year-ago period, Gurgaon-based Unitech said in a statement.

Net sales, however, rose to 683.89 crore in the quarter from 386.19 crore in the year-ago period.

While finance cost increased to 96.30 crore during the quarter under review from 3.44 crore in the year-ago period, its expenses rose to 680.20 crore from 408.85 crore a year ago.

Managing director Sanjay Chandra said: “Increasing the pace of construction at our ongoing projects and accelerating the delivery of finished product are the key priorities for the company. Steps initiated to overcome the liquidity constraint have gradually started yielding results and should progressively ease the tight cash flow situation."

The demand for non-residential property continues to be robust, he said, adding that a 600,000 sq. ft mall in Noida became operational during the quarter and was receiving strong response from clients.

“Enquiries for office space continue to flow in from both existing as well as new clients. These developments coupled with the improving macroeconomic scenario make us sanguine with regard to the demand for residential property which has been sluggish for a while," Chandra said.

The company’s consolidated net debt stood at 6,674 crore as on 30 September. Net debt to equity ratio as of was 0.63. PTI
