CRISIL Real Estate Star Gradings

This gradings provide city specific all-round assessment of real estate projects and help buyers benchmark and identify quality projects within their city.

 

CRISIL Real Estate Star Gradings address two critical needs in the realty sector: improved transparency and objective benchmarking of projects.

 

The key factors evaluated in the Star Gradings process are:

  • Quality of legal documentation,
  • Construction related risks,
  • Financial flexibility/viability of the project besides the
    background, and
  • Track record of the project sponsor.

Star Gradings is based on an eight-point scale that is specific to the city - from ‘City 7-Star’, the highest to ‘City 0-Star’, the lowest.

Grading Scale

The Star Gradings are assigned on a city-specific, eight-point scale; for example, ‘Mumbai Zero Star’ to ‘Mumbai Seven Star’. The assigned grading will thus be a benchmark against other graded projects in the same city.

 

The gradings are available for proposed, ongoing and recently completed commercial and residential projects. Once the grading is assigned, the project will be monitored constantly, providing timely updates on project progress. The grading will be valid until the project is completed.
