LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

History :

 

Engaged in civil engineering construction and housing development projects, Unitech has undertaken the construction of thermal power, steel and petrochemical plants and public utility buildings for a number of reputed public and private sector companies.

 

It went public in September, 1992 to part finance two housing projects.  Behind its present solid status is its strategic planning which deserves mention.  The decision to enter Libya during the oil boom in the mid-seventies and strengthen its base in a country where competition was less than other Arab nations, helped it forge ahead, untroubled by the Iran-Iraq war.  Moreover, a diversified project-mix, which includes projects in a wide variety of industries, helps reduce risks arising from dependence on a few industries.  The decision to enter into real estate and housing development in 1986 helped it sustain its growth, in spite of drastic cuts in government expenditure in the early nineties.

 

It has signed a MoU with a Singapore consortiuma and Haryana Urban Development Authority [HUDA], to set up a technology part at Gurgaon.  The company is also setting up a ready-mix concrete and concrete blocks plant at Taloja.

 

During 1995-96, the company launched its prestigious mini-township-SouthCity-II-on Sohna-Gurgaon Road.  The company successfully completed several projects including hydrocracker project of UP petro chemical complex at Etawah, educational media facilities at IGNOU, New Delhi, 100 mtr chimey for captive power plant at Panipat, construction of 1048 flats & infrastructure for CIDCO, Bombay, modernisation of air control services at Bombay airport, construction of August Kranti Bhavan, New Delhi, casting shop in SMS – 2 of RSP, modernisation at Rourkela and indoor sports stadium at Madras.

 

Unitech maintained steady progress at different project sites including the 220 mtr chimney at Kothagudam.  AP and 190 mtr chimney at Kutch, Gujarat, hydrocracker lab at Faridabad, corporate office and exchange building of MTNL at New Delhi and spinning unit at Baroda.

 

During 1995-96 Hyundai Unitech Electrical Transmission became a subsidiary of Unitech.  The company signed a joint venture agreement with Haryana Urban Development Authority [HUDA] and First Capital Property Ventures Pte Ltd, Singapore, to develop a technology park at Gurgaon which will house the high technology industries proposed to be set up by domestic and international companies of repute.

 

It is implementing large scale real estate and housing development projects on the Delhi – Gurgaon road and at Lucknow, multi-storeyed apartments at Connaught Place, New Delhi, a housing complex at Virar, Bombay and at various prime locations in Bangalore, Lucknow, Shimla, Indore, Goa, etc.

Industry Structure and Developments

 
For a third year in succession, the Indian Economy has continued its rapid growth during the fiscal year 2005-2006. With a GDP of more than 8%, India has continued to be one of the fastest growing economies of the world. Government of India has opened-up the construction and development sector by permitting 100% foreign direct investment (FDI) under the `automatic route'. Therefore, the year 2006 promises a sparking future to the Industry. As a result of the relaxation given by the Indian Government, foreign players are being attracted in the market. According to PHDCCI study, Indian construction industry is all set to become $180 billion sector by 2020. 

 

Opportunities and Threats

 
Pragmatic and visionary policies adopted by the Government have provided tremendous opportunity for real estate Companies to encash. The company is all set to avail such opportunities and take a giant leap forward in the path of progress. The company has firmly set its sight on the future. Its road to future success is paved with glorious upcoming projects.

However, due to long experience, pragmatic and prudent policies and induction of young and dynamic visionaries with expertise coupled with infusion of high-tech approach, Unitech continues to be the pioneer and has emerged as a leader leaving all its competitors far behind. 
 
Segment-wise performance


Though the Company has diversified in various areas; through its various subsidiaries, in its main stream it operates through three divisions viz,. Real Estate Development, Construction and Consultancy. The growth in each division was indeed more than satisfactory. Real Estate Division registered a growth of more than 100% in terms of Profit before Tax. The Construction Division has initiated steps to improve its engineering designs and construction methods benchmarked to global best practices. The Consultancy Division strived to provide best services to its customers. 

 
Outlook
 
Although the real estate business remains the mainstay of the group, it intends to diversify more aggressively into other related areas like hospitality and entertainment. The group is looking at an annual growth of over 30 per cent, led primarily by the new businesses. 

 

Financial performance with respect to operational performance

 
The company's performance in terms of financial results during 2005-2006 was outstanding. The year has been the best year in the Company's history with the turnover of the Company touching Rs. 6530 millions and Profit after tax touching Rs. 700 millions. Continuous increase in the value of the shares bears testimony t3 this grand financial success of the Company.
