 large mixed-use and stand-alone developments in the residential,
 commercial, retail and hospitality segments, as well as Agro SEZs,

 developer your Company has several well known buildings in Connaught
 Place (CBD of New Delhi) viz. Akash Deep, Surya Kiran, Vikas Minar,
 Amba Deep, Statesman House etc., the Company has developed its brand
 image through long decades. It has taken lead in promoting the
 affordable housing segment of the residential property market,
 particularly in key cities of Northern India. The majority of its
 projects are located in the NCR, the States of Uttar Pradesh, Haryana,
 Rajasthan and Punjab. The business is being carried on by the Company
 on its own as well through various joint venture partners and
 collaborators.
 
 The Management''s Discussion and Analysis Report forming part of the
 Directors'' Report gives a detailed overview about the general economic
 scenario of the Global and the Indian economy and particularly the
 realty sector in the Country, including the unprecedented downturn and
 signs of revival, and beyond, which has and shall have impact on the
 nature of Company''s business and generally in the classes of business
 in which the Company has interest. With the gradual upturn happening,
 your Company has ambitious growth plans to be achieved by way of
 establishing new and expansion of existing real estate activities.
 
 Real Estates Business
 
 Historically, the real estate sector in India was unorganized and
 characterized by various factors that impeded organized dealing, such
 as the absence of a centralized title registry providing title
 guarantee, lack of uniformity in local laws and their application, non
 availability of bank financing, high interest rates and transfer taxes
 and the lack of transparency in transaction values, however, in recent
 years, the real estate sector in India has been marked by a trend
 towards greater organisation and transparency accompanied by various
 regulatory reforms.
 
 Your Company has at present, projects under assorted stages of
 implementation across residential, commercial, retail, SEZ and
 Industrial Parks segments.Townships form the major portion of the land
 bank and real estate development plans. About 19 integrated townships,
 including two Hi-Tech Townships, have components of realty segments,
 such as residential, which will be in majority, commercial, retail and
 social infrastructure - such as educational institutions, hospitals,
 clubs, etc.  Mention of some of the projects in the process of various
 stages of development in these States, has been made in the
 Management''s Discussion and Analysis Report
 
 Affordable Housings / Mid Income Housings
 
 Everyone has a dream of having his /her own house, therefore, making a
 home or owning a home is one of the most important events in one''s life
 and your Company plays a leading role to focus on affordable housing.
 The importance of affordable housing is undeniable. The growth of
 economy, the following recession and its gradual revival have taught
 lesson to both the suppliers and the consumers. Affordability can be
 counted as a consumer''s ability to purchase, and, your Company strongly
 believes that affordable housing is a subject that needs to be tackled
 with utmost priority. In the recent times, your Company has launched
 various independent houses and apartments under Affordable and Mid
 Income housing segment in the States of Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and
 Haryana, which have received good response from the customers proving
 that affordable / Mid Income housing concepts are attractive in the
 large middle-income market segment. The Company''s focus continues in
 this segment, particularly in key cities in Northern India and it
 intends to capitalize the current market trends and mortgage products
 available in the real estate market.
 
 Townships
 
 Townships development is a trend that is portraying a new face of
 Indian real estate. A trend that has played an essential role in
 opening the floodgates for the development of integrated townships
 across the Country that offer their residents the promise of a quality
 lifestyle tailored to suit every budget.
 
 This has brought in the FDIs with more and more foreign entities
 investing in such projects. India is proposing to set up separate
 regime complete with integrated townships for the planned growth of the
 knowledge industry because the growing IT sector in major cities is
 straining current infrastructure and adding to inflationary pressure.
 Your Company is also developing and promoting townships, which are
 fully integrated residential communities. The Company, as a developer,
 plans and builds the entire infrastructure, including roads, to allow
 the township to function. It has employed a series of reputed
 contractors to carry out development of the infrastructure.
 
 Townships form the majority of real estate developments of your Company
 and are driven by the demand for high quality residential properties
 within easy reach of city centres and transport links. Some of the
 significant projects under development are as follows:-

 senior counsel that its application satisfies all the conditions
 specified in the said Scheme of Industrial Park.
 
 ii) The Auditors of the Company have drawn attention to the fact that
 the Company is carrying project inventory of Rs. 16719 lacs for Group
 Housing Project in Greater Noida. Due to downward trend in the market,
 the Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) announced a
 Scheme whereby the developers have option to accept project on a
 smaller piece of land equivalent to the amount paid and surrender
 balance project land subject to some deductions. The management has
 applied to the Authority conveying its intention to develop the project
 under this Scheme and is awaiting its approval. Necessary adjustments
 will be carried out upon receipt of approval from the Authority and
 management is of the view that there is no impairment in the value of
 land / project.
 
 iii) With respect to comments of the Auditors on advances aggregating
 to Rs. 16603 lacs given to land owning companies/collaborators/others
 for purchase of land and comments on its recoverability/adjustment, the

 in earlier years and considered as part of project inventories under
 Projects/ Contract work in progress upto 31stMarch, 2009 has been
 carried forward as such.
