Performance has improved as compared to the previous quarter due to full quarter contribution from Building Q1 at Aurum Q Parc and Arshiya Warehouse 7. The next half-yearly performance would be improved due to the 3 properties acquired in 1H 2022, however, the unfavorable SGD/INR FX in recent months should be a thing to take note of.
