 Prior period items                              97.23           (94.15)
 
 Profit after Tax, minority interest          1,639.61         1,719.83
 and prior period items
 
 Your Company recorded consolidated revenues of Rs. 10,144 Crores in FY11
 as compared to Rs. 7,851 Crores in FY10, an increase of 29%.
 Consequently, the gross operating profit, on consolidated basis,
 increased to Rs. 4,337 Crores from Rs. 3,939 Crores, an increase of 10%.
 The profit after tax, minority interest and prior period items declined
 to Rs. 1,640 Crores as compared to Rs. 1,720 Crores for the previous year,
 a decrease of 5%.
 
 Your Companys profits were impacted due to input price inflation
 reflected in the increase in cost of construction materials and labour.
 The increase in finance costs, consequent to a significant rise in
 interest rates, also impacted profitability. During the fiscal year
 2010-11, the Indian economy started on a confident note with high
 growth which however tapered off towards the closing of the year. A
 significant challenge to the growth performance of the Indian economy
 was rising food inflation, which spilled over to affect the rest of the
 economy and to push up raw material costs in the industrial economy.
 In the challenging environment, your Company continued its focus on
 consolidation, stable growth and risk management.
 
 Review of Operations
 
 Your Company booked gross sales of approximately 10 m.s.f. of
 residential and commercial offices/ complexes valued at approximately Rs.
 6,658 Crores.  The average realisation improved to Rs. 6,517 p.s.f., an
 increase of 14% over the last fiscal.
 
 The year under review was marked by delays in project approvals,
 resulting in a slowdown in volume growth. In view of the high
 inflationary economy, your Company also consciously moderated its
 volumes in low margin products in order to protect its overall
 profitability margins.
 
 In the rental business, your Company contracted additional leasing of 4
 m.s.f. of property during the year, taking the total leased-out space
 to approximately 24 m.s.f. across commercial offices and retail malls.
 
 Your Company unlocked about Rs. 1,270 Crores during the year by divesting
 certain non-core assets and businesses.
 
 Despite tight liquidity conditions during the second- half of last
 fiscal, your Company met all its stakeholder commitments in time during
 the year, including its commitments towards lending institutions.
 
 The performance of the Company on a stand-alone basis for the year
 ended 31st March, 2011 is as under:
 
                                                 (Rs. in Crores)

 * Proposed
 
 Future Outlook
 
 Your Company would continue to focus on enhancing growth in both the
 development and the rental businessess, while targeting to reduce its
 overall debt by unlocking value in non-core assets, cost- optimisation,
 process improvements and efficient management of working capital.
 
 On the development business, your Company shall continue with its
 strategy of moderating its volumes in projects which have high
 construction costs and moderate margins. The focus in the current year
 would be largely on high margin projects comprising of plotted
 developments and luxury homes with planned launches of 10-12 m.s.f.
 
 In commercial leasing, your Company would focus on increasing average
 rentals and leasing of semi- finished and ready-to-occupy properties,
 with a target to achieve leasing volumes of 2.5-3 m.s.f.
 
 In retail leasing, the Company has started construction of its mall at
 Noida in full swing. As the government policy gets liberalised to allow
 foreign direct investment into the retail sector, your Company expects
 traction in retail leasing going forward.
 
 The focus on execution in FY11 shall continue and result in
 substantial deliveries in the coming years. This will lower the
 outstanding construction commitments of your Company and help mitigate
 execution risks.
 
 The overall divestment target for non-core assets for your Company has
 now been increased to Rs. 10,000 Crores, implying that between Rs. 6,000 –
 Rs. 7,000 Crores would be realised through divestments over the next 2-3
 years. The cash flow from divestment would be utilised primarily for
 debt reduction.
 
 Besides this, your Company would utilise strengthened operational cash
 flows to reduce its debt levels while moderating its investments in
 land aggregation and capex.
 
 Dividend
 
 Your Directors are pleased to recommend for approval of the Members a
 Dividend of Rs. 2 per Equity Share (100%) of Rs. 2 each for the FY11
 amounting to Rs. 339.51 Crores (Rs. 339.51 Crores towards Dividend and Rs.
 NIL Crores as Dividend Distribution Tax).
 
 Corporate Sustainability
 
 Your Companys aspirations of sustaining and enhancing its long term
 growth plans are well balanced by its conscious commitments to society
 and in its principles of conducting business in a fully compliant
 manner. Your Company partakes in letter and spirit its intention of
 being a responsible corporate citizen and is committed to contribute
 positively in all activities pertaining to environmental protection,
 energy conservation and societal commitments while at the same time
 continuing to protect and enhance all stakeholders interests.
