    I am following the bidders for this project. Can you clarify their accounting terminology, please: i.e. sale target is 10 bn. How can revenue target be 7bn. ? tia

    Comment: It will be interesting to see the outcome of the government project work. Plus Areeya still has that leasehold project on Rajadamri.

    • Sales target for the project is 10bn, but the revenue recognized in 2016 will be 7bn or 70%. The remaining 3bn or 30% will hit the books in 2017 (if at all).

      • Thanks, Jay. for resolving my confusion due to my professional education. I’ll be more careful.
        Sales=revenue, (subject to reserves)
