The issue's lot size is 65 equity shares and in multiples of 65 equity shares thereafter.

Arkade Developers, an expanding real estate development company, has established a strong presence in Mumbai. As of July 31, 2023, the company has successfully completed the development of 1.80 million square feet of residential property, including projects in which Arkade has a controlling interest in partnership entities.
Between 2017 and Q1 2023, the company has introduced 1,040 residential units and has sold 792 residential units in various markets within the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) in Maharashtra.
The founder of Kejriwal Research and Investment Services, Arun Kejriwal, noted that although he was not entirely familiar with Arkade Developers' operations, the company's anchor investors were promising.
Comparably, Mohit Gulati, CIO and managing partner of ITI Growth Opportunities Fund, said it is another real estate firm joining the market at its peak. It is similar to 2007.
Gulati believes that the real estate market will slow down since MMR demand has bottomed down. According to Mohit, it will be difficult for Arkade to surpass projections in the upcoming year given this pattern.

For comparison, Arkade's revenue for FY24, FY23, and FY22 was ₹6,357.12 million, ₹2,240.13 million, and ₹2,371.82 million, respectively.
As a solid long-term investment, the brokerage advises subscribing to the issue because of the company's presence in the most profitable real estate market in the nation, as well as its excellent valuations at issue price, favourable return ratios, and levels of debt.
Arkade Developers Limited, according to the brokerage, specialises in upscale residential projects in desirable areas of Mumbai, including both brand-new construction and the renovation of existing structures. The business is well known for finishing projects ahead of time. The reduction in its borrowings from ₹149 crores in FY23 to ₹69 crores in FY24 is advantageous for the firm.
Arkade has shown strong financial success, with sales growing at a 39% CAGR and PAT growing at a 34% CAGR. The company's increasing net worth highlights both its sound financial standing and exciting expansion prospects. Though presently limited to Mumbai, growth into more locations may improve margins even further. The firm has a solid track record and is well-positioned for future expansion given Mumbai's rising real estate demand. For this reason, the brokerage advises giving the issue a "Subscribe" rating.
