Performance Review
India''s GDP registered an increase of 8.5 percent in the year
2010-2011. The slight dip in expected growth rate of 8.6 percent can be
attributed to weaker performance in sectors such as mining and
quarrying, manufacturing, trade, hotels, transport and communication
and real estate and business services than anticipated earlier.
After two years of consolidation, Real Estate in India is poised at the
right threshold to take a giant leap in years to come. The experience
gained by the real estate sector during slow-down is invaluable and
will serve real estate strategists for years to come.
Caution and diligence would be the keywords for the industry in the
medium term. Emerging opportunities should be targeted with an
unmatched fervour of potential and pragmatism. Winners would be those
who balance caution with diligence evaluating all potential
opportunities with pragmatism. The Company has consistently been
following business approach keeping in view the above strategies.
The Company has achieved an all time high turnover of Rs. 30485.86 Lacs
for the Financial Year 2010-2011 as against Rs. 20924.92 Lacs in the
previous year and net profit (post tax) for the year 2010- 2011 stood
at Rs. 3340.11 Lacs as against Rs. 1958.79 Lacs in the year 2009-2010.
The Earning per Share (EPS) has gone up from Rs. 12.63 to Rs. 17.21
registering a y-o-y rise of 36.26%.

During the period under review there was very good improvement in the
business enabling the company in achieving a healthy growth of 46% in
