Investment Thesis

Frequently Asked Questions
About Vijay Shanthi Builders
Vijay Shanthi Builders Limited is a Chennai-based real estate developer with a history dating back to 1977, when it was established as a partnership firm. The company was incorporated as a public limited company on January 6, 1992, and conducted an IPO of Rs. 65.5 million, listing on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE: 523724), National Stock Exchange (NSE: VIJSHAN), and the Madras Stock Exchange. It holds CIN L45201TN1992PLC021960. Headquartered at Old Door No. 8, New Door No. 21, First Avenue, Indira Nagar, Adyar, Chennai, the company has been a participant in Tamil Nadu's residential real estate market for over four decades. Vijay Shanthi Builders primarily develops residential apartments and individual villas in and around Chennai, catering to the mid-income and upper-mid-income segments of homebuyers. The company has a track record of delivering residential projects across key Chennai micro-markets including Adyar, OMR, ECR, and other suburban corridors. Its projects range from compact apartments to premium villa communities. As a listed company on BSE and NSE, Vijay Shanthi is subject to public disclosure requirements despite its small market capitalisation of approximately Rs. 5.5 crore. However, the company has faced financial headwinds in recent years. TTM revenue stands at approximately Rs. 22 crore with a loss of Rs. 13.2 crore, and sales growth has been negative at -16.6% over five years. Return on equity has been negative at -1.46% over the past three years. The last balance sheet was filed for FY2022. The company's small scale and declining revenues reflect the challenges faced by smaller, regional real estate developers in a competitive market. Despite the current financial challenges, Vijay Shanthi Builders benefits from its long operational history, established brand in Chennai's real estate market, and its portfolio of completed and ongoing residential projects that provide some brand recall among homebuyers.
