 Financial year 2010-2011 represents the period of recovery of whole
 economy in general and realty sector has edged over the other sectors
 of the economy. In spite of recovery of real estate sector, demand
 remained subdued for real estate products across all the categories,

 to squeeze the liquidity with the object to contain the infationary
 elements from the economy, simultaneously increasing the rate of
 interest on home loans which have direct impact on the demand of the
 real estate products.
 
 To weather the tremors of slowdown and cash crunch in ever changing

 has adopted business strategies such as Joint Ventures in projects,
 hived-off projects, to utilize the vacant portion of existing projects
