Bhanderi Infracon Limited is an Ahmedabad-based real estate development firm listed on the **BSE SME Exchange**. The company specializes in the construction of residential and commercial infrastructure, primarily within the Gujarat region. Historically a multi-segment business, the company has recently undergone a strategic pivot, closing its legacy grocery trading operations to focus on **Real Estate** and a new diversification into the **Diamond** sector. --- ### **Strategic Focus: Inventory Liquidation and Sector Consolidation** The company’s current strategy is defined by a cautious, stability-first approach in the post-**RERA (Real Estate Regulation and Development Act, 2016)** environment. Management has shifted focus away from aggressive new launches toward the following pillars: * **Monetizing Ready Inventory:** Priority is given to the liquidation of **existing ready-to-move-in inventory** and the completion of **near-completion projects** to ensure cash flow and regulatory compliance. * **Asset-Light Expansion:** To scale without high capital intensity, the company actively pursues **Joint Development Agreements (JDA)** and **Development Management (DM)** agreements. * **Market Consolidation:** Management anticipates a trend of smaller developers seeking to exit the market, providing opportunities for Bhanderi Infracon to acquire or develop **land parcels** through outright sales or partnerships. * **Operational Stability:** Emphasis is placed on maintaining **construction quality** as a primary differentiator to mitigate the risks associated with the cyclical nature of the real estate market. --- ### **Project Portfolio and Operational Footprint** The company operates as a developer and works contractor for infrastructure and commercial activities. Its core residential and commercial schemes are currently marketed under three primary project brands: 1. **Siddheshwar Hill Square** 2. **Siddheshwar Happiness** 3. **Dharnidhar Homes** Following the total closure of its grocery outlet, **100% of operations** were concentrated in Real Estate until the recent introduction of the Diamond segment. --- ### **Corporate Structure and Subsidiary Network** Bhanderi Infracon operates through a decentralized structure of subsidiaries and partnership firms, typically retaining a **75% ownership** stake in its corporate SPVs (Special Purpose Vehicles). | Name of Entity | Type | Ownership % | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Bhanderi Gandhinagar Projects Pvt Ltd** | Subsidiary Company | **75.00%** | | **Hareram Jems & Export Pvt Ltd** (formerly Bhanderi Happiness) | Subsidiary Company | **75.00%** | | **Bhanderi Kathwada Pvt Ltd** | Subsidiary Company | **75.00%** | | **Bhanderi Pethapur Projects Pvt Ltd** | Subsidiary Company | **75.00%** | | **Bhanderi Talod Project Private Limited** | Subsidiary Company | **75.00%** | | **Dharnidhar Developers** | Partnership Firm | **74.00%** | | **Girnari Infra** | Partnership Firm | Investment Held* | *\*Note: Girnari Infra accounts are not yet consolidated as they are not finalized.* --- ### **Financial Performance and Asset Base** The group has seen a significant expansion of its balance sheet in **2025**, largely due to the consolidation of new subsidiaries and the entry into the diamond trade. **Consolidated Financial Summary** | Metric | FY 2024-25 | FY 2023-24 | FY 2022-23 | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Total Revenue** | **₹6.32 Crore** | **₹4.53 Crore** | **₹7.63 Crore** | | **Profit After Tax (PAT)** | **₹66.36 Lakhs** | **₹82.40 Lakhs** | **₹70.00 Lakhs** | | **Paid-up Equity Capital** | **₹2.59 Crore** | **₹2.59 Crore** | **₹2.59 Crore** | **Segmented Assets and Liabilities (as of November 2025)** | Segment | Assets (₹ Lakhs) | Liabilities (₹ Lakhs) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Real Estate** | **7,736.56** | **5,097.08** | | **Diamonds** | **504.45** | **480.73** | | **Total Consolidated** | **8,241.01** | **5,577.81** | --- ### **Capital Structure and Solvency Profile** * **Debt-Free Status:** A key financial highlight is that the company has **not borrowed** from banks or financial institutions. There are **zero registered charges** with the ROC, and the company is not required to file quarterly statements of current assets with lenders. * **Equity Base:** The share capital consists of **25,96,600 Equity Shares** (Face Value **₹10**). * **Listing Updates:** During FY 2024-25, **5,67,000 shares** resulting from warrant conversions were listed on the **BSE** following previous administrative delays.

Operational and Market Risks** * **Cyclicality:** High sensitivity to **macro-economic conditions**, **liquidity**, and the availability of **consumer financing**. * **Input Costs:** Vulnerability to fluctuations in **project costs** and changes in **government housing schemes**. * **Internal Controls:** While management asserts that financial controls are adequate, the **absence of an internal auditor** remains a noted deficiency in the oversight mechanism. **3. Accounting Standards** As a **BSE SME** listed entity, the company is exempt from **Ind AS** and continues to report under **Indian GAAP (Accounting Standards)**. Physical verification of fixed assets and inventory is conducted on a phased basis.
