The development of premium shopping malls and office spaces would "significantly boost rental income in the coming years", he added.

On the strong financial and operational performance of DCCDL, Khattar highlighted that Crisil has enhanced its rating to 'AAA' with a stable outlook.

At the same time, ICRA upped our rating from AA+ stable outlook to AA+ with a positive outlook," he said and hoped that rating would further improve after the results of the fourth quarter of last fiscal.
