OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS:

 

The Company has adopted an unique growth oriented and pragmatic business model of development of real estate projects through its subsidiaries, joint ventures, associates, partnership firms and public private partnership with strategic investors. The benefits accruing from this business model are:

• highly capital efficient and allows the Company to grow the business without tying up large amount of capital in land purchases.

• for any given amount of capital it allows the Company to do more projects than would otherwise have been possible.

• leveraging of development capabilities and resources.

• creation of enhanced pool of construction and marketing expertise.

• greater profitability and significantly reduces the exposure to risks in any one project.

• facilitates expansion in additional geographical areas.

• stable source of revenue during tough economic times.

The merits of the business model is reflected in the consolidated results of the Company for the year, which witnessed a growth of 15.41 % at Rs.7133.100 Millions as against Rs.6180.900 Millions in the previous year. The consolidated net profit stood at Rs.1761.800 Millions as against Rs.1649.100 Millions in the previous year.

On a standalone basis the total income of the Company was lower by 7.53% at Rs.4753.600 Millions as against Rs.5140.600 Millions in the previous year A significant increase in cost of construction has had the impact on Profit before Tax which stood at Rs.1559.000 Millions as against Rs.2386.200 Millions in the previous year. The net profit was Rs.1714.800 Millions as against Rs.1737.900 Millions in the previous year.

Further, based on the business model adopted by the Company, the increase in loans and advances represents substantial investments by the Company in its subsidiaries, associates, joint ventures, partnerships and other entities towards growing the business to drive higher profits in future and reflects the management’s confidence towards strong business growth.

The management has always endeavoured to time the real estate cycle during downturn, which has resulted in acquisition of land bank at lower valuation, which will provide stable pipeline of projects in the near future.

The Company has initiated steps for sustaining growth through cost optimization, process improvement and efficient management of working capital. The Company is also consolidating on the initiatives taken in previous few quarters.

ECONOMIC OVERVIEW:

 

In the last fiscal, the global recovery has evolved better than expected but in many economies the strength of the rebound has been moderate given the severity of the recession. However, the downside risks remain elevated and remain concentrated in advanced economies. Most advanced economies and a few emerging economies still face major adjustments including the need to strengthen household balance sheets, stabilise and subsequently reduce high public debt, and repair and reform their financial sectors. By contrast, in many emerging and developing economies prudent policies, implemented partly in response to earlier crisis and strong internal dynamics, have contributed to a significantly improved medium-term growth outlook.

 

INDIAN ECONOMY:

 

India is reckoned as one of the fastest growing economies of the world and owing to its inherent advantages of a large consumer base, raw material resources, world class manufacturing facilities, competitively priced talent base, a comprehensive legal and tax system and a strong operating financial system has become a preferred investment and business destination.

 

Robust growth and steady fiscal consolidation have been the hallmarks of the Indian economy in the year 2010-2011 so far. The growth rate has been 8.6 % in 2010 -2011 and is expected to be around 9 % in the current fiscal. However, food inflation, higher commodity prices and volatility in global commodity markets have been a cause of concern underscoring the need for fiscal consolidation and stronger reserves.

 

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW:

 

The real estate sector is at present, playing an integral role in the Indian economy. The sector has demonstrated unparalleled growth over the years and currently accounts for almost five percent of the country’s total gross domestic product (GDP) and is projected to increase enormously, year-on-year.

 

Thanks to the rapid growth of the country’s economy, mainly after globalisation, real estate sector has witnessed tremendous change in the last decade. Increase in the affluent and aspiring population and favourable demographics have seen a rise in demand for homes in metros as well as many Tier I, Tier II and Tier III cities across the country.

 

The Housing and Real Estate Sector garnered FDI worth US $ 1048 million during the period April 2010 to January 2011.

 

OPPORTUNITIES:

 

The pan-India residential demand for the period 2010-2014 is estimated to be approximately 4.25 million units of which mid-range and affordable sectors continue to capture a significant share of 70 %, while demand for office space is estimated to be around 240 million sq. ft. Hospitality sector is expected to see demand of approximately 78 million room nights in the same period.

 

- Residential

About 60 % of total estimated pan India residential demand by 2014 is expected to be spread across India’s top seven cities (Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai, NCR and Pune) with Tier I metropolitan cities expected to account for approximately 40 % of total demand. While the housing sector has recorded a spike in demand over the last two to three quarters, supply largely remains constrained owing to the slow pace of construction activity during 2009-2010.

 

- Commercial

The Pan India office space demand over the next five years (2010-2014) is estimated to be approximately 240 million sq. ft. The overall demand for commercial office space will be subdued in comparison to the supply which is estimated to be approximately 400 million sq. ft. during 2010-2014, implying caution and the need for quality supply at the right price.

 

- Hospitality

The demand for the hospitality sector is expected to see a surge and is expected to be approximately 78 million nights between 2010-2014 among the top 7 cities. In major metropolitan cities the luxurious serviced apartments sector and new high end brands are making an entry with an objective of tapping niche market segments.

 

Redevelopment – the next BIG OPPORTUNITY

 

The ‘Rajiv Awas Yojana’ (RAY) announced by the Government of India, aims at creating a slum-free India by according property rights to slum dwellers. Just like the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM), cities will receive central support under the RAY scheme, subject to the condition that they provide security of tenure through entitlement to slum-dwellers.

 

With the slum population in Mumbai alone going up from 58 lakh in 2001 to 70 lakh in 2011, Maharashtra leads the country in slum population. The Slum Rehabilitation Authority has already constructed 1.47 lakh tenements with another 1.70 lakh under construction in over 400 slum projects, involving over 250,000 slum dwellers. With the state government in Maharashtra aiming to make Mumbai city slum-free by 2015, the momentum to redevelop slums will increase.

 

The Company being a pioneer in slum rehabilitation, sees RAY as an opportunity to meet twin obligations – business and corporate social responsibility.

Redevelopment will be the key word in coming years as the supply of vacant land is getting exhausted. Given that the real estate contributes considerably to the GDP, redevelopment will have a cascading effect on the economic activity and generate significant amount of funds for the state governments.

 

FUTURE OUTLOOK:

 

While the overall long term prospects of the real estate sector continues to remain positive, the year 2011-12 is likely to be a challenging one for realty developers, after a year which has seen sustained momentum in property prices. The high interest rates are impacting affordability and delaying decision making, and all of this is not allowing demand to get converted into sales since last two quarters of the last fiscal. The liquidity situation in the market, availability and cost of finance for business and home loans are also going to be critical factors in the current fiscal.

 

Factors like rising disposable income, rapidly growing middle class and youth population, fiscal incentives on both interest and principal payments for housing loans, increased urbanization and nuclearisation, changing demographics and heightened aspirations towards a better quality of life will be the key drivers for the demand for housing.

 

On the regulatory front, the Land Title Bill and Real Estate (Regulation of Development) Act could have a significant impact on the way business is conducted. While the Land Title Bill would ensure that there is clear ownership record and transparency through development process, minimal legal issues and faster completion, the Real Estate (Regulation of Development) Act is under revision to create a workable framework aimed at providing a control mechanism that will ultimately benefit the real estate sector.

 

The finance minister’s recently announced budgetary support in the form of extension of the scheme of interest subvention of 1 % on housing loan upto Rs.1.500 Millions will also act as a catalyst for boosting growth. The fundamentals of the Sector are good and its growth should continue in the foreseeable future.

 

Cost-cutting and control, superior methodologies and innovative processes and systems and execution focus are an integral part of the Company’s strategy. The Company is well geared up to develop strategies to respond effectively to the challenges and opportunities ahead and continue its journey on the growth path. The outlook for the Company is positive.
