this Letter of Offer has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but their accuracy and completeness and underlying
assumptions are not guaranteed and their reliability cannot be assured. Although, the Company believes that the market data
used in this Letter of Offer is reliable, it has not been independently verified. Similarly, internal Company reports and data,
while believed to be reliable, have not been verified by any independent source.
2. RISK FACTORS
An investment in Equity Shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider all of the information in this
Letter of Offer, including the risks and uncertainties described below, before making an investment in the Equity Shares of the
Company. If any of the following risks actually occur, the business, results of operations and financial condition could suffer,
the trading price of the Equity Shares of the Company could decline, and the investor may lose all or part of his /her investment.
MATERIALITY
The Risk factors have been determined on the basis of their materiality. The following factors have been considered for
determining the materiality:
a) Some events may not be material individually but may be found material collectively.
b) Some events may have material impact qualitatively instead of quantitatively.
c) Some events may not be material at present but may be having material impacts in future.
The risk factors are as envisaged by the management and wherever possible, the financial impact of the risk factors has been
quantified.
A. INTERNAL FACTORS
1) The company did not have any commercial operations for the years 2000-05 and has incurred losses during
the period 2002-05.
The Company’s activities took a subdued tone during the period 2000-03 due to lack of investment opportunities
during the IT slump period. Further during the period 2003-2005, the company was in the process of identifying
various projects pursuant to which the company has undertaken the development of Alpha City project which is
currently in progress.
The company has incurred losses for the period 2002-2005 on account of operational overheads.
iv
The quantum of losses incurred by the Company during the financial year 2002 to 2005 are as under:
(Rs. Lakhs)
Particulars As on 31.03.2002 31.03.2003 31.03.2004 31.03.2005
Net profit after extraordinary items (26.67) (25.72) (13.60) (18.26)
2) Risks associated with the domestic and regional real estate market.
The overall demand for the property is dependent upon the availability and affordability of the target customers.
Economic growth and buying power of the people decides the general trend in the property market. The demand of
the property being constructed by the Company may be unfavorably affected by factors such as change in domestic
and regional economic situation in the place where company’s projects are located, surplus construction, reduction
in local demand etc.
3) Wide fluctuations in the prices of critical raw materials would have adverse effect on the Company’s
profitability
In the recent past, there have been wide fluctuations in the prices of critical construction materials such as, cement,
steel. Such fluctuations in prices of construction materials and the Company‘s inability to negotiate at optimum
market rates may affect its profitability. Further, the Company does not have firm tie-ups for the procurement of
raw materials.
4) Dependence on rights issue proceeds
The Company is dependent on full subscription to the rights issue in order to meet its financial requirements of the
Project. Under-subscription of the issue could jeopardize the company’s financial position, which will have an
adverse material impact on the future performance. However, some members of the promoter group, intend to
subscribe additional shares beyond their entitlement if the issue is under subscribed. The acquisition of additional
securities in such an event shall be exempt from making an open offer in terms of proviso to Regulation 3(1)(b)(ii)
of the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeover) Regulations, 1997 and the company/acquirer would
comply with the necessary formalities under the Takeover Regulations. Further, this acquisition will not result in
change of control of the management of the Company.
5) Some of the Company’s projects are in preliminary stages of planning
The Company’s projects are under various stages of preliminary planning and execution. As it is common in the
construction industry, obtaining necessary clearances and approvals from various authorities may not always be
timely which may result in the project getting delayed. Incase the Company fails to receive the necessary approvals
or the project does not take off as envisaged by the company, it may adversely affect the operations of the company.
6) The Company’s business is concentrated in Chennai, Bangalore and Hyderabad.
The Company’s business is currently concentrated in Chennai, Bangalore and Hyderabad markets. Any regulatory
changes in the policy of these regions or adverse developments in these markets could have an adverse material
effect on the performance of the Company.
7) Conflict of business interests
The individual promoters of the company are having interest in the following ventures, which are authorized by its
main object clause to carry on the similar line of activities and can result in the possible conflict of business interest
among these ventures and the company:

estimates, the Company may end up in paying penalty to the landowners for delay in handling over of the space.
This will have an adverse effect on the performance of the Company.
11) The Company’s operations are subject to employee health and safety laws and regulations.
The Company is subject to laws and regulations governing (a) relationships with employees in such areas as
minimum wages and maximum working hours, overtime, working conditions, hiring and terminating of employees,
contract labour and work permits, (b) environmental, health and safety legislations. The success of the Company’s
strategy to modernize and optimize its existing operations, is contingent upon, among other things, receipt of all
required licenses, permits and authorizations, including local land use permits, building and zoning permits and
environmental health and safety permits.
12) Dependence on key management team
The company’s operations rely heavily on key employees. In case of shortage of key employees or high attrition of

on its trained key managerial personnel and any sudden disruption in the services of these personnel may have an
adverse impact temporarily affecting the smooth operation of the business.

15) Further issue of capital

lakhs in May, 1995.

vii
17) The capital expenditure mentioned in the objects of the issue has not been appraised by any Bank or Finan-
cial Institution.
The fund requirement plans are company’s estimates and the same has not been appraised by any bank or financial
institution. The deployment of funds in the project is entirely at the discretion of the company and therefore, no
independent body will monitor the use of the proceeds from the issue.
18) The projects sub-contracted by the company could get delayed on account of the sub-contractors performance,
resulting in delayed payments.
As per normal practice in construction industry a part of the work is subcontracted to the various business contractors.
The completion of the contract depends on the performance of these sub-contractors. Delay on the part of a sub-
contractor to complete the project in time, for any reason, could result in delayed payment to the company and in
turn affect its operations. Sub-contractors may not have adequate financial resources to meet their indemnity
obligations to the company.
19) The Company has a high working capital requirement. In case there is insufficient cash flow to meet its
requirement of working capital, there may be adverse effect on the results of its operation.
The company’s business demands significant amount of working capital. As payments from clients are linked to
completion, which are spread out over the execution period of the contract, significant amount of working capital
would be required to finance the purchase of material, performance of the construction projects before the payment
is received from the client and to service its financial obligations, if any. Consequently, there could be situations
where the total funds available may not be sufficient to fulfill the company’s commitments, which may affect its
financial positions.
20) Projects included in company’s backlog or under construction stage may be delayed or cancelled which
could materially harm its cash flow position, revenue and earnings
Projects under construction comprise anticipated revenues from the uncompleted portion of existing contracts.
The amount of company’s backlog does not necessarily indicate further earnings related to the performance of that
work. Projects under construction refer to expected further revenues under awarded contracts and which is considered
firm, although cancellations or scope adjustments may occur. Due to changes in project scope and schedule, it
cannot predict with certainty when or if project will be completed. In additions, even where a project proceeds as
scheduled, it is possible that contracting parties may default and fail to pay amount owed. Any delay, cancellation
or payment default could materially affect its cash flow position, revenues and / or earnings.
21) Promoter group will continue to retain majority control in the company after the Offer, which will enable
them to influence the outcome of matters submitted to shareholders for approval.
Upon completion of the Offer, Promoter / Promoter Group will own 54.14% of post-Offer equity share capital of
the Company. As a result, the Promoter Group will have the ability to control the company’s business including
matters relating to any sale of all or substantially all of its assets, the timing and distribution of dividends and the
election or termination of appointment of its officers and directors. In addition, so long as the Promoter Group
continues to exercise significant control over the Company, they may influence the material policies of the Company
in a manner that could conflict with the interest of its other shareholders. The Promoter group may have interests
that are adverse to the interests of its other shareholders and may take positions with which other shareholders do
not agree.
22) The Company requires certain registrations and permits from government and regulatory authorities in
the ordinary course of business and the failure to obtain them in a timely manner or at all may adversely
affect the company’s operations.
The Company requires various registrations/renewal of existing approvals/permits in the ordinary course of business.
The company’s business may be adversely affected and its directors and officers may be subjected to proceedings
under the relevant act for non-compliance of various statutory registrations. Failure by the company to renew,

the said agreement.
27) Work stoppages due to non-availability of casual labour could adversely affect the progress of the projects.
The Company operates in a labour-intensive industry and hires casual labour in relation to specific projects. If the
company is not in a position to procure required casual labour for its projects could adversely affect the business,
financial position and cash flows of the company.
28) Revenue recognition based on the ‘percentage of completion method’ of accounting is subject to uncertainties
and inaccurate estimates.
The Company’s income from the sale of constructed properties is recognised using the percentage of completion
method. Under this method, income in respect of a project is recognised based on the project cost, which includes
the cost of acquisition of land, development and construction costs actually incurred as a proportion of total estimated
project cost and the proportion of the saleable area of the project in respect of which bookings have been made.
The Company estimates the total cost of a project prior to its commencement based on, specifications and location
of the project among other things. If the Company’s estimates of project costs are inaccurate or if contingencies
occur that materially impact its estimates, the Company’s revenues may fluctuate significantly from period to
period.
ix
29) Pending Government Approvals
The Company is yet to receive approval from Tamilnadu Pollution Control Board and Ministry of Environment
and Forest, Government of India for the proposed project pertaining to environment Impact Assessment and from
the Director Town and Country Planning, for which the Company has already made applications. Delay in receipt
of the approval may affect the financials of the Company.
30) Any failure in Company’s IT systems could adversely impact its business.
Any disruption of the functioning of Company’s IT systems could disrupt its ability to track, record and analyse the
work in progress, cause loss of data and disruption in operations, including an ability to assess the progress of the
projects, process financial information or manage creditors/debtors or engage in normal business activities. This
could have an adverse effect on Company’s business.
31) The Company may suffer uninsured losses.
There are certain types of losses, such as those due to earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, terrorism or acts of war,
which may be uninsurable or are not insurable at a reasonable premium. The proceeds of any insurance claim may
be insufficient to cover rebuilding costs as a result of inflation, changes in building regulations, environmental
issues as well as other factors. Should an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occur, the Company
would lose the capital invested in and the anticipated revenue from the affected property. Further, the Company’s
real estate projects could suffer physical damage from fire or other causes, resulting in losses, including loss of
rent, which may not be fully compensated by insurance. The Company would also remain liable for any debt or
other financial obligation related to that property.
32) The company does not own plot of lands for the project mentioned in the Objects clause.
The company has entered into Development agreement with the land owner for development and construction of
the scheduled property at Old Mahabalipuram Road, Navalur Village, Kancheepuram District. For details please
refer to Objects of the Issue beginning on page no. 13 of this Letter of Offer.
33) The real expansion of the Company’s commercial estate business is dependent on the willingness and ability
of its corporate customer to pay rent at suitable levels.
The Company’s focus on commercial real estate business includes sales and lease/rental options. The Company
based on market research estimates that there is a huge gap in the supply of commercial premises compared to the
demand. These rentals are the function of the demand-supply gap and are prone to change with the change in this
gap. In case this gap reduces, the corporate customers of the Company would not be willing to pay rent at the
stipulated level. This may impact the revenues of the Company.
34) Unsecured loans payable on demand
The Company has availed unsecured loans to the extent of Rs.1150.35 lakhs (as on 31.12.2006) from the Promoters/
Group Companies/Associates/Affiliate Companies for its ongoing projects, which are payable on demand. If any
of the loan is recalled, it would adversely affect the financial position of the Company
B. EXTERNAL FACTORS
1) Construction projects carry many risks which could adversely affect Company’s business.
Construction projects carry many risks which will affect Company’s business, prospects, financial condition and
results of operations but are not limited to the following:
* Political, regulatory and legal actions that may adversely affect project viability
* Changes in government and regulatory policies
* Delays in construction and operation of projects
* Adverse changes in market demand or prices for the products or services that the project, when completed, is
expected to provide
* Shortages of or adverse price movements for raw materials
* Environmental risk, including rehabilitation and resettlement costs
* Adverse developments in the overall economic environment in India
x
* Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on Company’s business, prospects, financial condition
and results of operations.
2) A slow down in economic growth in India could cause the company’s business to suffer.
The Indian economy has shown substantial growth over the last few years. Any slowdown in the Indian economy
or future volatility in global commodity prices, in particular steel, cement and prices of other construction material,
could adversely affect the company’s profitability.
3) The Indian Real Estate Industry is very competitive.
The Indian Real Estate Industry is very competitive with a large number of players. The Company faces competition
from big domestic construction companies who operate at the national level and also from small and medium level
construction companies. If the Company is not able to compete effectively, its revenues and profitability will be
adversely affected.
4) The Company‘s performance is linked to the stability of policies and the political situation in India.
The role of the Central and State Governments in the Indian economy on producers, consumers and regulators has
remained significant over the years. Since 1991, the Government of India has pursued policies of economic
liberalization, including significantly relaxing restrictions on the private sector. Any political instability could
delay the reform of the Indian economy and could have a material adverse effect on the market.
5) The price of Equity shares of the Company may be highly volatile
The prices of the company’s Equity shares on the Indian stock exchanges may fluctuate after this issue as a result
of several factors including:
* Volatility in Indian and Global securities market.
* The company’s results of operations and performance.
* Performance of Company‘s competitors and perception in the Indian market about investment in the
infrastructure sector.
* Adverse or positive media reports on the company.
* Changes in the estimates of Company‘s performance or recommendations by financial analysts.
* Significant development in India’s fiscal and environmental regulations.
* Significant development in India’s economic liberalization and de-regulation policies
* There can be no assurance that the price at which the Equity Shares of the Company are initially traded will
correspond to the prices at which the company’s Equity shares will trade in the market subsequent to this
Issue.
6) Further sale by current shareholders could cause the price of the company’s shares to decline
If the existing shareholders sell a substantial number of Company‘s Equity Shares in the public market, the market
price of its Equity shares could fall. Sales and distributions of substantial amounts of its shares by existing holders,
or the perception that such sales or distributions could occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices for its
shares.
7) Changes in tax laws, particularly Income tax, can have an impact on the post-tax profitability of the company.
8) There could be a project delays due to unfavourable climatic conditions or transportation delays, which may affect
the overheads and increase the financing cost, on account of material, machinery and work force that is employed
at the construction site.

SECTION III -INTRODUCTION
1. Summary:
(i) Industry scenario and Business Over view
Industry Overview
Construction activity is an integral part of a country’s infrastructure and industrial development. It includes hospitals, schools,
townships, offices, houses and other buildings; urban infrastructure (including water supply, sewerage, drainage); highways,
roads, ports, railways, airports; power systems; irrigation and agriculture systems; telecommunications etc. Covering as it
does such a wide spectrum, construction becomes the basic input for socio-economic development. Besides, the construction
industry generates substantial employment and provides a growth impetus to other sectors through backward and forward
linkages. It is, essential therefore, that, this vital activity is nurtured for the healthy growth of the economy. With the present
emphasis on creating physical infrastructure, massive investment is planned during the Tenth Plan. The construction industry
would play a crucial role in this regard and has to gear itself to meet the challenges. In order to meet the intended investment
targets in time, the current capacity of the domestic construction industry would need considerable strengthening. The
construction sector is one of the largest employers in the country. In 1999-00, it employed 176.2 Lakhs workers, a rise of 60
Lakhs over 1993-94. The sector also recorded the highest growth rate in generation of jobs in the last two decades, doubling
its share in total employment. (Source: Tenth Five Year Plan: 2002-07)
The share of construction sector in gross domestic product (GDP), which was 5.4 per cent in 1970-71, came down to 4.4
percent in 1990-91. Subsequently it picked up and stood at 5.1 per cent in 1999-00. At present, the industry accounts for 5-6%
of the country’s Gross Domestic Product 38-40% of Gross Domestic capital formation. (Source: Tenth Five Year Plan: 2002-
07)

The Company also undertook Rs. 1200Lakhs wind-farm project, which was divested subsequently.

Reasons for delay in completion of works as per schedule
The Company has already received approvals for most of the works from the appropriate authorities, however it has to receive
final clearances form Ministry of Environment & Forests ( MoEF) and Tamilnadu Pollution Control Board and final plan
approval.
Other works like masonry, plastering, concreting, shuttering and reinforcement etc got delayed due to seasonal rains/monsoons
and cyclonic storms which resulted in water logging at site. Also the outbreak of chikun gunya virus has resulted in workers
being affected by the virus resulting in lean supply of labour hampering the progress of work at site.
Electrical Works/ HVAC/ Elevators works have been rescheduled due to delay in import of imported chillers/ AC units and
elevator machinery.
As other works like Water proof cladding, plumbing and sanitary works and firefighting works etc are simultaneous and
interconnected in nature with other works, their completion is dependent on completion of the above mentioned works.

2.1 Capital assets may be categorized into short term capital assets and long term capital assets based on the period of
holding. Shares in a company, listed securities or units of UTI or unit of Mutual Fund specified under section
10(23D) of the Act or a zero coupon bond will be considered as long term capital assets if they are held for a period
exceeding 12 months. Consequently, capital gains arising on sale of these assets held for more than 12 months are
considered as “Long term capital gains”. Capital gains arising on sale of these assets held for 12 months or less are
considered as “short term capital gains”.
23

education cess). However, as per the proviso to section 112(1), if the tax on long-term capital gains resulting on
transfer of listed securities or units or zero coupon bond, calculated at the rate of 20 percent with indexation benefit
exceeds the tax on long-term gains computed at the rate of 10 percent without indexation benefit, then such gains
are chargeable to tax at a concessional rate of 10 percent (plus applicable surcharge and education cess).
a. As per the provisions 111A of the Act, short-term capital gains on sale of equity shares where the transaction of
sale is chargeable to STT shall be subject to tax at a rate of 10 percent (plus applicable surcharge and education
cess).
2.4 Exemption of Capital Gains from Income-tax:
* Under section 10(38) of the Act, long term capital gains arising out of sale of equity shares or a unit of equity
oriented fund will be exempt from tax provided that the transaction of sale of such equity shares or unit is chargeable
to STT.
* According to the provisions of section 54EC of the Act and subject to the conditions and to the extent specified
therein, capital gains not exempt under section 10(38) and arising on transfer of a long term capital asset shall not
be chargeable to tax to the extent such capital gains are invested in certain notified bonds within six months from
the date of transfer. However, such investment in the notified bonds shall not exceed Rupees Fifty Lakhs in a
financial year. If only part of the capital gain is so reinvested, the exemption shall be allowed proportionately.
* In such a case, the cost of such long term specified asset will not qualify for deduction under section 80C of the
Act.
However, if the said bonds are transferred or converted into money within a period of three years from the date of
their acquisition, the amount of capital gains exempted earlier would become chargeable to tax as long term capital
gains in the year in which the bonds are transferred or converted into money.
* According to the provisions of section 54F of the Act and subject to the conditions specified therein, in the case
of an individual, gains arising on transfer of a long term capital asset (not being a residential house) are not
chargeable to tax if the entire net consideration received on such transfer is invested within the prescribed period in
a residential house. If only a part of such net consideration is invested within the prescribed period in a residential
house, the exemption shall be allowed proportionately. For this purpose, net consideration means full value of the
consideration received or accruing as a result of the transfer of the capital asset as reduced by any expenditure
incurred wholly and exclusively in connection with such transfer.
3. Rebate under Section 88E
Section 88E provides that where the total income of a person includes income chargeable under the head “Profits
and Gains of Business or Profession” arising from taxable securities transactions, he shall get rebate of STT paid
by him in the course of his business. Such rebate is to be allowed from the amount of income tax in respect of such
transactions calculated by applying average rate of income tax.

115-O of the Act is exempt from income-tax in the hands of the shareholders.
2. Computation of capital gains:
2.1 Capital assets may be categorized into short term capital assets and long term capital assets based on the period of
holding. Shares in a company, listed securities or units of UTI or unit of Mutual Fund specified under section
10(23D) of the Act or a zero coupon bond will be considered as long term capital assets if they are held for a period

SECTION - IV. ABOUT THE COMPANY
1. Industry Overview
General
Land and gold have been the two most coveted objects for Indians since recorded history. India occupies only 2.4% of the
world’s land area while accounting for 16% of global population. India’s average population density is much higher than that
of other nations of comparable size including China, Mexico, and Brazil. Such demographic and economic trends have caused
a surge in demand thereby increasing prices of real estate. Also the discovery of India as a IT / ITES destination in the last
decade is perhaps the biggest significant factor driving the real estate market. (Source: Karvy Stock Broking Limited - Real
Estate Report, 2006)
Construction activity is an integral part of a country’s infrastructure and industrial development. It includes hospitals, schools,
townships, offices, houses and other buildings; urban infrastructure (including water supply, sewerage, drainage); highways,
roads, ports, railways, airports; power systems; irrigation and agriculture systems; telecommunications etc. Covering as it
does such a wide spectrum, construction becomes the basic input for socio-economic development. Besides, the construction
industry generates substantial employment and provides a growth impetus to other sectors through backward and forward
linkages. It is, essential therefore, that, this vital activity is nurtured for the healthy growth of the economy. With the present
emphasis on creating physical infrastructure, massive investment is planned during the Tenth Plan. The construction industry
would play a crucial role in this regard and has to gear itself to meet the challenges. In order to meet the intended investment
targets in time, the current capacity of the domestic construction industry would need considerable strengthening. Construction
is one of the sectors that have shown a sizeable addition to its work force - by close to 5.5 million. Of this increase, over 60
percent has been in the rural areas. However, less than 10 percent of the incremental work force in this sector was women
workers. The prospects for jobs are quite with the real estate development being carried out by private developers on a large
scale. This is in addition to the government plans for infrastructure development in the country under various schemes like the
“Bharat Nirman programme”. The construction sector is one of the largest employers in the country. In 1999-00, it employed
176.2 Lakhs workers, a rise of 60 Lakhs over 1993-94. The sector also recorded the highest growth rate in generation of jobs
in the last two decades, doubling its share in total employment. (Source: TENTH FIVE YEAR PLAN: 2002-07 and Karvy
Stock Broking Limited - Real Estate Report, 2006)
The main advantage of the construction sector in employment generation lays in the fact that it:
� Absorbs rural labour and unskilled workers (in addition to semi-skilled and some skilled);
� Provides opportunity for seasonal employment thereby supplementing workers’ income from farming; and
� Permits large-scale participation of women workers.
The share of construction sector in gross domestic product (GDP), which was 5.4 per cent in 1970-71, came down to 4.4
percent in 1990-91. Subsequently it picked up and stood at 5.1 per cent in 1999-00. At present, the industry accounts for 5-6%
of the country’s Gross Domestic Product 38-40% of Gross Domestic capital formation. (Source: Tenth Five Year Plan: 2002-
07)
THE REAL ESTATE SECTOR IN INDIA
The Indian real estate industry is on a high growth path with a current market size of $15 bn approximately. Moving on, it is
expected to be over $50 bn by 2010, growing at a CAGR of 35-40%. The growth of this sector is crucial for the economy as
1 rupee spent in it adds 78 paisa to the GDP. The growth is being propelled by a variety of factors including the political
reforms, favorable interest rate regime leading to easy finance availability, rising income levels and the market getting more
organised. But it has not been like that since long. Historically, the real estate sector in India was unorganized and characterised
by various factors that impeded organised dealing, such as
o The absence of a centralised title registry providing title guarantee
o Lack of uniformity in local laws and their application
o Non-availability of bank financing
o High interest rates and transfer taxes
o The lack of transparency in transaction values.
29
In recent years however, the real estate sector in India has exhibited a trend towards greater organization and transparency,
accompanied by various regulatory reforms. These reforms include:
o GoI support for the repeal of the Urban Land Ceiling Act 1976, with nine state governments having already
repealed the Act;
o Liberalization of the FDI norms and extensive approval of setting up SEZs;
o Modifications in the State Rent Control Acts to protect homeowners wishing to rent out their properties;
o Rationalization of property taxes in a number of states;
o The proposed computerisation of land records.
The trend towards greater organisation and transparency has contributed to the development of reliable indicators of value and
the organised investment in the real estate sector by domestic and international financial institutions, and has also resulted in
the greater availability of financing for real estate developers. Regulatory changes permitting foreign investment are expected
to further increase investment in the Indian real estate sector.
These trends have benefited from the substantial recent growth in the Indian economy, which has stimulated demand for land
and developed real estate across our business lines. Demand for residential, commercial and retail real estate is rising throughout
India, accompanied by increased demand for hotel accommodation and improved infrastructure. Additionally, the tax and
other benefits applicable to SEZs are expected to result in a new source of real estate demand. The Real estate demand
comprises of mainly three aspects:
o Consumption demand: It comes from the strong growth in urban areas, higher disposable income, higher retail
lending, lower interest rates and higher demand for real estate.
o Demand from outsourcing: It comes from business process outsourcing in IT & ITES and Pharma. Further, with
the growth in Knowledge Process Outsourcing of skilled and high-end functions in finance and biotechnology.
o Investment demand: It comes from high Capex plans and infrastructure investments by government and public-
private initiatives.
(Source: Karvy Stock Broking Limited - Real Estate Report, 2006)
The real estate boom has gradually percolated from the big metros to tier II cities. The rapid growth of BPO (call center)
industry and expansion of the insurance industry have helped generate stronger demand for mortgage, and consequently
pushed up demand for housing. High economic growth has fuelled the demand for real estate. Cities continue to attract interest
from IT and ITES companies that are either establishing a base or are looking to expand. The changing demographics, low
interest rate regime, rising disposable incomes, and fiscal incentives have also provided huge demand for housing.
The government had also played a pivotal role in the development of this sector. It had aided the sector by giving income tax
benefits to the consumer and benefits to developers. It initiated the rationalization of stamp duty and repealed the Urban Land
Ceiling Act in nine states. A number of state governments are moving towards computerization of land records.
There is a perceptible shift in the profile of real estate developers in the last one decade. With the corporatisation of the
industry, transparency has increased in the sector. This has enhanced the comfort level of the investors putting in money in the
real estate sector. This also led to increased supply of funds to the sector. With the entry of foreign investors transparency
levels would improve.
The strong growth in real estate has led to it emerging as an alternate investment class in the country. Investment in the realty
sector has been growing steadily over the last four-five years with real estate becoming the most preferred investment destination
as compared to bonds and other funds. Apart from conventional investors, it attracted investments from corporate as well as
from high net-worth individuals (HNIs). A favorable reform in the property market was the decision of the Government to
allow 100% FDI in real estate with certain restrictions, which gathered the interest of many, who have invested in the potent
realty segment through direct investments or through the venture capital funds like ICICI Ventures, Kshitij and HDFC Realty.
Property development grows with the growth in the real estate sector. There is huge potential in the segment.
MAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF THE INDIAN REAL ESTATE SECTOR
The Indian real estate market is still in its infancy, largely unorganized and dominated by a large number of small players, with
very few corporates or large players having national presence. The Indian real estate market, as compared to the other more
developed Asian and Western markets is characterized by smaller size and higher prices.
30
1. Highly fragmented market dominated by regional players
Rapid growth in the last decade has seen the emergence of larger players that have differentiated themselves through
superior execution and branding. The larger players are able to capitalize on their early mover advantage. However,
these players continue to operate in local/regional markets. While these players are now initiating efforts to develop a
broader presence, their ‘home’ markets continue to support the majority of their profitability.
2. Local know-how critical success factor in the development phase
One of the key reasons for emergence of local leaders is the criticality of local know how and relationships in ensuring
successful and timely development. Each development is dependent on a number of local clearances (e.g. municipal
corporation, water, electricity) that requires strong experience and relationships
3. High transaction costs and significant cash transactions
The sector has been burdened with high transaction cost in the form of stamp duty that varies across the country (state-
wise). These transaction costs have resulted in poor liquidity in this market. These transaction costs have led to significant
cash transactions to reduce the stamp duty burden.
AREAS OF REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT
Residential Real Estate Development
The residential real estate market in India occupies the lion’s share and comprises of approximately 80% of the total real estate
market in India. The demand supply gap in housing space is estimated to be 41 bn Sq ft as compared to 66 mn Sq ft in the office
market. During the Ninth 5- year Plan (1997-2002), India was facing shortage of houses around 41 million in both urban and
rural out of which shortage of about 33 million was only in urban. This supply demand gap describes the increasing prices of
real estate. The growth in the residential real estate market in India has been largely driven by rising disposable incomes, a
rapidly growing middle class, and low interest rates, fiscal incentives on both interest and principal payments for housing
loans, heightened customer expectations, as well as increased urbanisation and nuclearisation. Most of these demand drivers
have been discussed above, in the economic and socio-cultural factors. The key demand drivers for the Residential Real Estate
in India are:
o Demographics
o Urbanization
o Rising Disposable Incomes
o Easier access to finance
o Fiscal Incentives
Commercial Real Estate Development
The recent growth of the commercial real estate sector in India has been fuelled by increased revenues of companies in the
services business, particularly in the IT and ITES sectors. Industry sources expect the IT and ITES sectors to continue to grow
and generate additional employment, which we expect will result in increased demand for commercial space.
Within the IT and ITES sectors, the Indian off-shoring operations of multinational companies are expected to increase demand
for commercial space. The trend for these companies has been to set up world class business centres to house their growing
work force.
Retail Real Estate Development
Retail spending in India in fiscal 2005 was Rs. 9.9 trillion, of which organised retail accounted for Rs. 349 billion, or
approximately 3.5%. The organised retail segment in India is expected to grow at a rate of 25% to 30% over the next five fiscal
years. The growth of organised retail is expected to be driven by demographic factors, increasing disposable incomes, changes
in shopping habits, the entry of international retailers into the market and the growing number of retail malls.
The key demand drivers for the retail real estate, in the Indian scenario are:
o Relaxation of strict FDI regime
o Organized retailing gaining share
(Source: Karvy Stock Broking Limited - Real Estate Report, 2006)
31
FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT IN REAL ESTATE
In March 2005, Government has permitted Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) under automatic route in real estate sector. This
will help to organise the real estate sector, bridge demand and supply gap, create more professionalism, bring superior technology,
induce healthy competition and ensure availability of funds. This will help growth of country’s GDP. A large number of
companies are looking at the opportunity to invest in India. Some of the foreign players who have already tied up with Indian
developers are Lee Kim Tah Holdings, CESMA International Pvt. Ltd., Evan Kim, Keppel Land from Singapore, Salim group
from Indonesia, Edaw Ltd. From USA, Emaar from Dubai, IJM, Ho Hup Construction Co. from Malaysia, etc. A number of
real estate venture capital funds are looking at opportunities in India. Some private funds have applied to SEBI for approval
and few of them have already received the approval and started investing in real estate. This will ensure more availability of
funds to the developers and faster growth of real estate sectors. Some examples are HDFC Real Estate Fund, ICICI - Tishman
Speyer, Ascends India IT Park Fund, Kotak Mahindra Realty Fund, Kshitij Venture Fund, IDFC, Edelweiss Capital, etc

and the names are in the same order as in the records of the Company.

Account as given in the CAF after verification. Allotment advice, Refund Order (if any) would be sent directly to the
applicant by the Registrar to the Issue but the applicant’s Depository Participant will provide to him the confirmation of
