Atlanta Limited(hereafter referred to as

Atlanta) has a deep rooted presence in three of

the country's fastest growing segments ,

positioning it favourably to capitalise on the

minefield of opportunities unfolding.

Incorporated in 1977, as a partnership

firm and converted into a private

limited company in 1984, it was

deemed a public company in 1991 and

went public in September 2006. The

shares of Atlanta are listed on the

Bombay Stock Exchange and the

National Stock Exchange.

A niche and specialised player, the

company has a diversified and de-risked

work portfolio comprising highway

development on an EPC/BOT basis,

runways, mining and real estate.

Promoted by Mr Rajhoo Bbarot, with 30 years of

experience in the field and a member of the

Confedration of Indian Industry (CII) working group

on National Highways for privatisation of roads, Atlanta

is driven by a team of professionals and an eminent board of

directors, all of whom possess strong domain experience and

expertise.

ATLANTA'SPLANSANDPRESENCE

1.InMumbai

Over the years, demand for ready-to-use

commercialpropertieshasledtothesaturation

of the central business district and the

development of several suburban business

districts across the western and centralsuburbsinMumbai.Theavailabilityofvacant

plots across the belt between Andheri ,

Goregaon and Malad hasmade them an

attractivecommercialdestinationfornewage

servicesectorindustries.Alongside,areaslike

Thane,NaviMumbaiandtheirperipheriesare

fast developing as better infrastructure has

drastically reduced the distances from

Mumbai'scentralbusinessdistrict.

Atlantaintends toparticipate inthisrealty

rallywhichwebelieveisdrivenbythegenuine

demandofthecorporateworldandindividuals

f irmed up plans for developing a fully

integrated modern township with attractive

facilities likeschools, collegesand shopping

2 . Part ic ipat e i n recon st ru ct ion and

transformationofMumbai

Thedarkerside ofMumbai:Around23,000

buildings in South Mumbai and several

standalone buildings, private colonies and

societies(lowerandmiddleincomegroup)areover 50-60 years old and run the risk of

collapsing, if not repaired or rebuilt with

immediateeffect.Given thisgrimreality, to

encourageandattractprivateparticipationfor

rehabilitation workof suchmagnitude,the

Government of Maharastra has decided to

crosssubsidise thecost of rebuilding these

buildings andredeveloping suchcolonies by

givingproportionateFloorSpaceIndex(FSI).

Atlanta plans tobid andparticipatein this

reformation process across Mumbai and

Thane.

3.Inemergingcities

At lanta intends to leverage its market

understanding and the growth potential in

emergingcitiesandplanstoofferrefreshingly

new residential, commercial and retai l

properties.Someoftheexcitingplansoverthe

next five years include the development of

mini-township in Hyderabad and shopping

OUTLOOK

Thecompany is committed to developing

ATLANTA IS CONFIDENT THAT THE STRATEGIC INITIATIVES MENTIONED ABOVE COMBINED WITH A

POSITIVE PROPERTY MARKET WILL HELP IT DRAW ON ITS CAPABILITIES, USHER SCALABILITY,

STRENGTHEN ITS PRESENCE IN THIS SECTOR AND ENSURE SUSTAINABLE PROFITABILITY, WITH

THIS BUSINESS EXPECTED TO CONTRIBUTE SIGNIFICANTLY TO THE TOTAL REVENUES OVER THE
