MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS:

 

A. GENERAL ECONOMIC SCENARIO

 

Global Economy

 

The global economic growth started to accelerate on a broad front in the year 2010 and this growth is expected to continue into 2011 and 2012. Middle East and North Africa continue to influence the global economies, with oil prices moving higher on the back of events in Libya (WTI breached $100/bbl) and the dollar price of internationally traded food commodities (World Bank index) increasing to 2.9% in February, coming to match its June 2008 peak. Higher fuel and food prices and capacity constraints in a number of developing countries are contributing to rising inflation and a tightening of monetary policies. Domestic food prices in developing countries, the key driver for current inflation, are up 8% since June 2010. It is predicted that the recovery will be uneven in global context for some more time.

 

According to Global Investment Atlas, Global investment rose 42% in 2010 to USD 564 billion (Euro 430 billion), the third highest in the past ten years. As against expectations, the recovery in the world economy gathered pace in the second half of 2010 despite more hesitant economic mood reflecting higher liquidity and more disposable incomes apart from high growth trajectory.

 

The Indian Economic environment

 

Despite a slow recovery in the world economies, it is heartening to see that India has recorded admirable growth post recession. India has moved up to fifth position in a list ranking the governments of 112 countries in terms of their ability to project the economy into the international sphere, As per the Economic Survey 2010-11, in the year 2000, the country was ranked 10th in the Index of Government Economic Power (IGEP). As per the IGEP, the Survey said India was among the best performers on the globe in terms of its ability to raise resources, credit-worthiness and credibility in international financial markets.

 

The Indian economy has shown remarkable resilience to both external and domestic shocks. It not only recovered rapidly from the global economic downturn, but also took the monsoon failure last year in its stride and is now showing robust growth. If services and agriculture pick up, the economy will perform much better than expected in the year ahead.

 

Going by simple macro economic data a reasonable forecast for the year 2010-11 is that the economy will improve its GDP growth by around 1 percentage point from that witnessed in 2009-10. Thus, allowing for factors beyond the reach of domestic policymakers such as the performance of the monsoon and the rate of recovery of the global economy, the Indian GDP can reasonably be expected to grow around 8.5 +/- 0.25 per cent, with a full recovery, breaching the 9 per cent mark in 2011-12.

 

Real Estate Sector

 

The real estate sector in India involves the development of residential housing, commercial buildings and office space, industrial facilities, warehouses, hotels and other commercial spaces, purchase and sale of land and its development rights. Historically, the real estate sector in India has been highly unorganized and characterized by various factors that impeded organized dealing such as, an absence of centralized title registry providing title guarantee, lack of uniformity in local laws, non-availability of bank finance, high interest rates and taxes, lack of transparency in transactions etc. In recent years, however, the real estate sector has exhibited greater maturity and value due to economic compulsions, regulatory reforms and active consumerism. This trend has made it possible for the sector to obtain organized investments by both private and public financial institutions thus improving its liquidity and planned investments. Demand for residential, commercial and retail real estate increased throughout India until first half of 2008, accompanied by an increased demand for hotels and infrastructure projects. Thereafter, there was a lull in the market due to the ill effects of the worst ever recession. The demand started picking up again in the course of 2010. The growth witnessed in real estate business in India has essentially been due to high GDP growth in the economy, increased urbanization, increasing number of nuclear families, higher disposable family income, good growth in sectors such as IT, ITES, retail, consumer durables, automobiles, telecommunication, infrastructure, banking, insurance, tourism, entertainment and hospitality. Indian real estate has always been one of the mainstays of the country’s economy. Construction sector is also the second largest employer after agriculture, employing about 25 million people. Construction Industry’s contribution to GDP’s growth is around 2-3 percentage points.

 

B. THE COMPANY AND ITS BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

 

Subject is one of the real estate and construction majors in India with a unique business model and delivery mechanism. The Company is built on rock solid values, benchmark quality standards, uncompromising business ethos, focused customer centric approach, robust engineering and in house research and development, which have all contributed to making it a strong brand in both real estate and contractual segments. The company has created an enviable brand in all the segments and regions of its operations and the brand is synonymous with high quality products and transparency in dealing with its customers.

 

The Company has a strong business presence in South India particularly in Bangalore. Bangalore residential real estate is largely dependent on the performance of the IT/ITES sector which was severely impacted by the global economic slowdown. However, with the gradual recovery in the economy in general and real estate sector in particular, the demand for real estate has increased substantially during calendar year 2010, one can now see a greater optimism, higher employment opportunities and improvement in investor confidence. CRISIL Research expects capital values in real estate to rise by 5-8% in calendar year 2011. So far as Bangalore is concerned, city centers are fully congested and suburban areas have great demand potential. Development of projects in these areas will not only reduce the burden on main cities but also ease traffic, pollution and overcrowding. Better connectivity such as signal-free outer ring roads, wider, multi-lane arterial roads, express highways, Metro Rail covering main hubs in the city, have all given a major thrust to housing demand in Bangalore. The buyer in Bangalore has also become very selective in his choice and looks for standard features such as social, recreational, shopping and other facilities in a safe and peaceful environment. They are also environment sensitive and look for complexes which are eco-friendly with proper waste management, plantation, energy conservation and rain water harvesting.

 

Demand for houses in Bangalore is likely to increase in all the segments such as luxury, semi luxury, villas, townhouses and plotted developments. The company has presence in all these segments. Affordable housing segment is also growing with more public and private partnerships in its development. Price is expected to remain

stable, given the developers focus on volumes. Long term investors will return to real estate sector soon. This trend is seen not only in Bangalore but also in other centers where the Company plans to grow such as in NCR, Chennai, Coimbatore and Pune as these are turning out to be high growth centres. On the whole, the demand is back in the real estate sector in Bangalore and else where. This business is poised for a better growth with a greater focus on organized and quality development.

 

 

The Delivery Experience

 

The Company has achieved a phenomenal growth since inception compared to its peers. It has entered the league of companies with 50 million square feet of delivery in just 15 years of existence.

Currently, over 14 million square feet of space is under execution in 10 cities both in real estate and contractual projects. It has forthcoming projects of over 16 million square feet under various geographical and business areas. Company’s major strength has been in residential segment and its delivery excellence in this segment over the period is as given:

 

The Company has completed and handed over 13.94 million square feet of area in the first 11 years of its existence until the year 2006-07, whereas it has completed and handed over 28.74 million square feet of area in next 5 years from the year 2007-08 to 2010-11, thus showing a phenomenal growth in development and delivery of projects in latter period as compared to the previous 11 years since inception. This also shows that the Company is well focused on its execution and delivery capabilities.

 

Its sales revenue during the year under review crossed the Rs.10 billion mark from real estate development with an average realization of about Rs.4000/ - per square foot. In the real estate space, it is primarily focused on middle to high end residential housing in Tier I and Tier II cities. The residential projects developed by it primarily comprise of a wide range of luxury apartment complexes, lifestyle villas and row houses with world class infrastructure and best-in-class amenities. One of the most outstanding features of Company’s sales performance has been that there has been a faster movement of high end products in the real estate segment.

PRESS RELEASE

 

Sobha launches Bangalore’s first smart homes

 

Bangalore, March 16, 2012: Bangalore-headquartered realty major Sobha Developers launched the much-awaited first smart home project – Sobha Habitech – in Bangalore today. All apartments in this first-of-its-kind gated residential community in Whitefield, the IT hub of Bangalore, will be equipped with a patented smart home automation technology. These homes aim to provide a safer, more energy efficient and a more convenient environment to live in.

 

Technology has already changed the way we connect and communicate but now is changing the way we live too. These smart homes can sense your mood and customize the lighting, fans and AC to your liking, will show at your touch pad or smart phone who is at the door and will also alarm you in case of any gas leakage in the kitchen. The bathrooms will be lit up sensing your arrival and the boom barrier at the apartment’s entrance will open automatically sensing the presence of your car. Also, your elderly folks just need to press a soft panic button in the house, in case of any emergency, to reach you or others for help. Mothers busy in household chores or working in their office would be able to watch their kids play safely in the garden on their smart phone as there is video surveillance at all the common areas at Habitech.

 

“Sobha Habitech is just the beginning of a series of landmark projects planned this year by Sobha Developers in Bangalore. It caters to the need of the houses of the future. Till now, these features were only available in bits and pieces in the living spaces of the tech-friendly lot but for the first time, Bangalore will have a whole residential community equipped with these features. Backed by the undeterred reputation for quality, reliability of delivery and a keen anticipation for this project, we feel assured that Sobha Habitech will be one of the most successful projects of Sobha,” said an upbeat Mr. J.C. Sharma, Managing Director, Sobha Developers Limited.

 

The project, spread over four and a half acres in the heart of Whitefield, will have as many as five towers comprising 318 super luxury apartments including 2 BHK, 3 BHK as well as 4 BHKduplex penthouses.

 

There will also be a luxurious ground and a three storied clubhouse along with all the desirable amenities and 72% open space that would appeal the well travelled and ever-alive IT crowd of Bangalore. Amenities like children’s play area, swimming pool, steam-sauna and jacuzzi, gymnasium, badminton court, cricket pitch etc., are also part of the development. Located merely two kilometers from ITPL, Sobha Habitech will be the third project of the company in Whitefield after the runaway success of Sobha Rose and Sobha Amethyst. Whitefield is Bangalore’s original IT hub which houses some of the biggest names of India’s technology companies as well as world renowned MNCs that sparked the IT revolution at the dawn of 21st century and put the city proudly on the global map. It still contributes to more than 50% of the total software exports from Bangalore.

 

More than a hundred thousand professionals work in blue chip companies located in some of south India’s biggest technology parks including the prestigious ITBP (erstwhile ITPL). It is home to techies from around the world and brings the cosmopolitan facelift to Bangalore that is visibly represented in demographic profile of the Whitefield area. You can find the best of schools for your kids like Ryan International and TISB as well as the hippest shopping destinations, malls and multiplexes for recreation including Phoenix Market City and Forum Value Mall. Specialty hospitals and prestigious hotels like Taj Vivanta, build by Sobha Developers, are also present in the area.

 

“Whitefield has gradually but systematically grown to be one of the preferred residential areas for the tech-savvy, well-travelled and elite class of IT professionals who now can get a taste of high-tech living in these smart homes of Sobha Habitech project,” said Mr. J.C. Sharma.

 

Sobha Habitech will also have a rainwater harvesting system, sewage treatment plant, organic waste converter and other leading innovative green design concepts. Quality oriented vitrified tiles add subtlety to the flooring and skirting in bedrooms, living rooms and the dining area. Plastic emulsion paint adds durability to the walls and ceiling. Like all other projects, each floor comes with a mandatory fire exit zone. The four 14 storied and one 15 storied RCC framed sturdy structures will be built with concrete block masonry walls. Spaciously planned car parks will be available for the residents and visitors.

 

Sobha is the most preferred real estate brand among discerning home buyers in Bangalore, the Silicon Valley of India and formally recognized as the “Best Indian city to live in” on all parameters.

 

Over the past 16 years, Sobha Developers Limited has delivered over 50 million square feet of hallmark properties. In the fiscal year 2010-11 alone, Sobha has registered an impressive turnover of INR 1,0000.000 Millions in residential space alone. This, in itself, is testimony to the brand equity of Sobha Developers Limited -- an INR 15 billion real estate company listed on the BSE and NSE. Sobha Habitech will herald a new era of smart living in Bangalore.
