 INTRODUCTION
The global financial crisis and the resultant slowdown in the global economy during the year
2008-2009 have halted industrial and business expansion. The subsequent drying up of
liquidity has led to an overall slowdown in the real estate sector in India.

There has been sales slowdown across all real estate asset classes: Residential,
Commercial, SEZ/Industry Parks.

Demand in real estate has remained grim, primarily due to low consumer confidence. This
can be attributed to a weak economic scenario. High levels of inflation led to the government
increasing interest rates. This led to the drying up of liquidity available for businesses to
expand, leading to a slowdown in the commercial real estate demand. The increase in the
cost of finance also led to a drop in residential real estate demand.

According to a report released by UBS Investment Research in April 2009, unsold inventory
with developers in major residential real estate destinations in India is still high at around
18% of the properties being promised for delivery over the next 12 months.

The inventory situation is not limited to the residential space. Recent data from Jones Lang
Lasalle REIS on supply and vacancy for office space in Delhi and Mumbai indicates that
office vacancy rates are very high. However, analysts and industry experts believe that long
term prospects of the Indian real estate sector remain promising.

According to ASSOCHAM, the Indian domestic real estate market is estimated to be

approximately USD 15 billion, of which FDI contributions are expected to be less than USD
4 billion.
The share of FDI in real estate is expected to increase manifold in the coming years with
the gradual relaxation of ceiling in construction space permitted to foreign investors.

India’s growing young population, rapid urbanization, growth in industry and services and
rapid development of tourism are factors that will propel real estate demand in the long term.

A number of reforms introduced by the Government in recent years have contributed to the
scorching pace of development of the Indian Real Estate Industry in the past and will
facilitate future growth. These real estate reforms include:

 Repealing the Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Act, 1976 by a large number of

Indian States

 Allowing FDI upto 51% in single brand retail outlets and 100% in cash and carry

 In April 2008, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) announced

amendments to the SEBI (Mutual Funds)

 Regulations 1996 permitting the launch of Real Estate Mutual Funds (REMFs) in

India. REMFs are required to invest at least 35% of the net assets of the scheme

directly in real estate (in ready-to-use property that assures rental income and capital

appreciation) not stating the maximum investment limit

 Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) have been allowed entry into India. REITs

cater to the capital requirement of the real estate sector as it enables the company easy

access to funds and preferable exit options

Real Estate
The real estate story in India is growing bigger by the day. Industry experts believe that

Indian real estate has huge demand potential in almost every sector -- especially commercial,

residential and retail.

Growth in commercial office space requirement is led by the burgeoning outsourcing and

information technology (IT) industry. By 2010, the IT sector alone is expected to require 150

million sq.ft. of space across major cities. It is estimated that in the residential sector there is

a housing shortage of 19.4 million units out of which 6.7 million are in urban India. The

increase in purchasing power and exposure to organised retail formats has redefined the

consumption pattern. As a result, retail projects have been mushrooming across even B-grade

cities. The retail market is expected to grow at around 35 per cent. Industry observers feel

that this growth is facilitated by favourable demographics, increasing purchasing power,

existence of customer-friendly banks and housing finance companies, professionalism in real

estate and reforms initiated by the Government to attract global investors.

Global Majors in Indian Real Estate

Policy changes introduced by the Government in February 2005 allowed 100 per cent foreign

investments in construction projects with fast-track approvals. But the real attraction for

foreign investors is potential investment returns of 25 per cent and more in Indian projects

that might be hard to come by in the US and in Western Europe today. A report by property

consultants Jones Lang LaSalle estimates that US$ 10 billion foreign investment will be

injected into the Indian real estate sector in the next 12-18 months. International companies
like Ayala of the Philippines, Signature from Dubai, Och-Ziff Capital, EurIndia and Old Lane

have indicated their interest in entering the Indian real estate market soon. On the cards is

sizeable FDI inflow from Malaysia, followed by the UK, US, Israel and Singapore.

Industry sources say over 90 foreign investors are already in the country tapping investment

avenues. Nearly two dozen US funds are raising US$ 3.5 billion for investments in Indian

realty. Those raising the funds include Wall Street powerhouses such as the Blackstone

Group (US$ 1 billion) Goldman Sachs (US$ 1 billion), Citigroup Property Investors (US$

125 million), Morgan Stanley (US$ 70 million) and GE Commercial Finance Real Estate

(US$ 63 million). Others raising funds are JP Morgan, Warburg Pincus, Merrill Lynch,

Lehman Brothers, Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway, Colony Capital and Starwood

Capital.

In mid-2007, Morgan Stanley closed a deal worth about US$ 150 million with Oberoi

Constructions in Mumbai. The Nakheel Group in Dubai entered into a US$ 10 billion deal

with DLF for residential projects in Tier I and II cities. This was followed by three financial

institutions -- Khaleej Finance and Investment (KFI) from Bahrain, Kuwait Investment

Company (KIC) and Kuwait Finance House (KFH) -- from the Middle East promoting a US$

200 million fund for investing in India. Called the 'Indian Private Equity Fund', it targets

activities with controlled risks in growing sectors like real estate. Close on its heels,

California Public Employees’ Retirement System entered India, investing US$ 100 million in

a US$ 400-million real estate fund promoted by IL&FS. Ascendas, Asia’s leading business

space provider is launching the first property trust of Indian assets worth US$ 500 million in

Singapore in July 2007 with the renowned real estate developer Embassy Group.
Financial Institutions in Real Estate

Indian financial institutions are competing with each other to invest in this higher return

segment. Some of the prominent companies promoting real estate funds in India are HDFC

Property Fund, DHFL Venture Capital Fund, Kotak Mahindra Realty Fund, Kshitij Venture

Capital Fund (a group venture of Pantaloon Retail India Ltd) and ICICI’s real estate fund,

India Advantage Fund. Regulated under SEBI’s (Securities and Exchange Board of India)

Venture Capital Funds, these are closed-ended schemes with an initial public offer (IPO)

contributing to a discount on NAVs (Net Asset Value).

The Tata group has joined hands with private equity firm, Xander, through its group company

Trent in April 2007 to raise US$ 1 billion for an institutional retail real estate fund. India's top

real-estate firm DLF has raised US$ 2.24 billion in the country's largest initial public offering

in June 2007. It has also entered into a joint venture agreement with Indian pharmaceutical

major Ranbaxy group company Fortis Healthcare to set up hospitals across the country with

investments of about US$ 1.5 billion. Meanwhile, an HDFC sponsored real estate fund has

been permitted to bring up to US$ 790 million of FDI into the country, while Indiabulls Real

Estate (IREL) is looking to raise up to US$ 1.2 billion.

Retailers and Malls

India has emerged as the most attractive destination for retailers in 2007. According to the

latest AT Kearney study, for the third year in a row, India leads the annual list of most

attractive emerging markets for retail investment followed by Russia and China.
Organised retail, which currently accounts for only 4.6 per cent of the US$ 270 billion Indian

retail sector, is expected to grow at 37 per cent in 2007 and 42 per cent in 2008, according to

India Retail Report 2007. The report adds that organised retail in India has the potential to

add over US$ 45 billion business by the year 2010.

This is expected to create a demand for around 220 million square feet of retail space by

2010. According to industry estimates, 27 million square feet of organised retail space is

currently available. Another 90 million square feet is expected to be added by 2008 from 263

mall projects. Of these, 18 million square feet is slated to come up in Delhi as well as in

Mumbai, 9.5 million square feet in Ludhiana, 6 million square feet in Chandigarh and 3.6

million square feet in Ahmedabad.

With the retail sector experiencing a boom, the country is witnessing a spurt in extremely

large retail spaces. Shopping malls with over 1 million sq ft of space have become the order

of the day. About 20 of these are now at various stages of construction across the country. In

the National Capital Region (NCR), Unitech's Great India Place has a million square feet (sq

ft) of retail space. In Mumbai, at least eight malls covering over 1 million sq ft each include

R-Mall at Ghatkopar, and two 1 million sq feet plus malls proposed for Thane. In Bangalore,

at least three malls with similar dimensions are under development. Ludhiana will soon have

a 1.6-million sq ft mall by Today Homes.

As the competition in the market intensifies, builders are going out of their way to be

different. Specialised malls, designer brands and multi-movie options are marking the

shopper's day out. Gurgaon, on the suburbs of New Delhi, has a jewellery mall and will soon
have an auto mall. Bangalore will get an exclusive furniture mall. Two malls, first of their

kind, targeting foreign tourists, will come up at tourist hotspots--Goa and Udaipur--with a

projected cost of around US$ 22 million each. A furnishings mall is coming up on Elgin road

in Kolkata. And India's largest theme amusement park, Noida Entertainment City (E-City),

will stand upon 150 acres approximately. Discount malls are also on the rise. Top realtors and

local retail chains are developing malls in regional boroughs, specifically to sell premium

branded goods at prices 30 to 40 per cent cheaper than the maximum retail price. At least 50

discount malls are expected to come up in the next two years across the country, positioned in

the middle-to-the-premium end of the market.

In what could perhaps become a trend in the booming retail business, Reliance Retail, Future

Group and Bharti-WalMart are among leading retail companies that are acquiring housing

societies and colonies in Ahmedabad to knock down and build mega-retail stores.

Big Deals in Realty

The biggest mall of the world--Mall of India--planned by DLF Universal along NH-8--will

have 32 acres spanning a huge entertainment area and large city town squares offering a total

retail experience.Chennai, on the radar of foreign real estate funds, recently witnessed two

big-ticket property deals. AIG Real Estate Fund and RMZ Corporation purchased an 11-acre

plot at Guindy for US$ 686.9 milion and Shyam Kothari, in another deal, bought IDBI's 2.5

acres Boat Club property in Chennai for US$ 40.3 million.

Residential Development

Majority of retailers are now planning to expand within the current city, and a similar

percentage is willing to open new stores in other cities within India. The most confident

among them are home and interior retailers and sports apparel/equipment retailers, followed

by department stores and jewellery and food retails.

While the last decade saw the transition of sleepy towns like Gurgaon, Noida and Faridabad

into enviable addresses, today these tier I towns, as they are called, are saturated and far

beyond the means of the middle class. Naturally, the opportunity in the residential

development in Tier-II and Tier-III cities--like Hyderabad, Cochin, Chennai, Coimbatore and

Pune--is equally enormous.

For instance, Pune, the engineering and automobile hub of western India--about 160-km

south-east of Mumbai--is emerging as a major IT centre. With sprawling software parks

coming up all over the city and its suburbs, the demand for high-value apartments is growing.

Beyond professionals and people looking to relocate from Mumbai or even overseas, are the

older people who have sold a bungalow and want to live in spacious, easy-to-manage

surroundings. Developers maintain that the bar for the super-premium luxury housing has

risen from US$ 231,964 to over US$ 463,929 per unit.

If the year 2006 was marked by some of the countries biggest land deals, the future of India is

set to usher in the gold rush of realty.

REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY OF INDIA

The real estate story in India is growing bigger by the day as it continues to receive an ever
increasing inflows of funds. While more than 35 big ticket foreign funds have already
checked in, the first half of the 2010 will see at least 20 more funds making an India entry.
Meaning US$ 12 billion of foreign direct investment (FDI) will be injected into the real estate
sector.

Merrill Lynch forecasts that the Indian real estate sector shall grow from US $12 billion to
US $ 90 billion in 2015.

Majority retailers are now planning to expand within a current city, and a similar percentage
is willing to open new stores in other cities. While the last decade saw the transaction of
sleepy towns like Gurgaon, Noida and Faridabad into enviable addresses. More and more
people are turning to big cities thereby increasing the demand for high-value apartments.
Developers maintain that the bar for the super premium luxury housing has risen from Rs. 1
crore to over Rs. 2 crore. If the year 2009 was marked by some of the country’s biggest land
deals, the future of India is set to usher in the gold rush of realty.

It is estimated that in the residential sector there is a housing shortage of 19.4 million units
out of which 6.7 million are in urban India. The increase in purchasing power and exposure to
organised retail formats has redefined the consumption pattern. As a result, retail projects
have been mushrooming across even B-grade cities. The retail market is expected grow at
around 35 per cent. Industry observers feel that this growth is facilitated by favorable

Residential Development

Majority of retailers are now planning to expand within the current city, and a similar per
centage is willing to open new stores in other cities with India. The most confident among
them are home and interior retailers and sports apparel/equipment retailers, followed by
department stores and jewellery and food retails.

While the last decade saw the transaction of sleepy towns like Gurgaon, Noida and Faridabad
into enviable addresses, today these tier I towns, as they are called, are saturated and far

 CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES IN THE REAL ESTATE SECTOR

Opportunities

Firstly, it is the sustained high growth rate of GDP and increasing GDP per capita in the
country providing and impetus to the real state demand across segments. According to t he
recent FICCI report, the last three years have seen real GDP rise a cumulative 26 per cent,
with impressive increase of 8.5 per cent in 2007/08, 7.5 per cent in 2008/09 and 8.4 per cent
in 2009/10 on the back of the robust growth across industries. Thus, setting into motion the
demand for commercial / industrial as well as residential real estate.

Secondary, the huge demographic shift being witnessed in the country in the last decade is
cited as one more reason behind the sect ors exponential growth. The increasing rate of life
expectancy, declining infant mortality and a high but falling birth rate in the country have
created an additional demand for housing and infrastructure for the ever-increasing
burgeoning population.

Besides these, favourable reforms ensuring easy project financing, increased fiscal incentives
to developers and simplification of Government procedures are the few of the bottom factors
that have catapulted the growth in this sector.

Challenges

In pursuance of the expected growth that this sector will take, the future is full of challenges.
In the commercial office segment. In spite of the huge demand, the developers may have to
face heat from the ups and down of other sectors since this segment, in particular, is highly
depended on the performance of the Indian IT/ITES.
Secondly, with the introduction of the SEZ policy, it is believed that a significant amount of
the office space demand will be targeted in SEZs. While in the residential segment, if one
goes by the Planning Commission report there is a shortage of approximately 9 million units,
and this deficit, as per the Asian Development Bank, would escalate to around 22 million
units by 2009/10 and upto 10 million units by 2030. The most deterring challenge that would
come on the way would be the product differentiation and correct understanding of the
consumer needs. This challenge would be applicable to both the national or international
players as the consumers preference in India vary from one location to other and brand value
in a highly competitive market would be stiff without substantial product differentiating
factors.

Another segment that would gain momentum is the hospitality sector, According to the
Ministry of Tourism, Government of India, there are as estimated 1.2 million hotel rooms in
the country, of which star hotels account for a mere 7 per cent (approximately 80,000
rooms). The Ministry forecasts that there will be a total 2.9 million hotel rooms in the biggest
deterrent in the growth in this segment could be the delay in further relaxation for FDI in the
sector.
 EFFECT OF RECESSION ON REAL ESTATE IN INDIA

The Development of real estate in India is attributed to the off-shoring and outsourcing
businesses, such as high-end technology consultation, call centres and programming houses.
The demand from the information technology sector certainly has changed the urban
landscape in India. Several multinational companies (MNCs) continue to move their
organizational operations to India to take advantage of lower manpower and other costs.
Providing human resources and home at their work place assumes great significance and
therefore, the requirement to create space for people to live and work that in turn causes the
development of other related infrastructure. It has been a predominant trend to set up the
world´s best business centres, often campus-style establishments, bearing a distinguishing
corporate stamp. Some of these locations are so distinctive that they are termed as the
´temples of new or modern India´. It is just an indication of the extent to which the
development of real estate has been taking place.

The real estate market in India remains unorganized, fairly fragmented, mostly characterized
by small players with a local presence. Traditionally, real estate developers were viewed with
an element of skepticism. Developers were often identified dealing with large amounts of
unaccounted money, lacking transparency and would use unscrupulous mean to acquire a
variety of regulatory approvals. The tremendous growth of the real estate sector is attributed
to various fundamental factors such as growing economy, growing business needs, etc. This
boom however is restricted to areas such as commercial office space, retail and housing
sectors. The impending concerns of this sector namely- skill shortage, non availability of
statistics, lack of low cost-affordable housing, lack of sustainability, high RE prices and last,
to meet a future that might have downturn due to oversupply.

The industry is presently facing a major resource crunch – an obvious lack of qualified
skilled people from construction firms, PMC firms, etc. Coupled with this manpower
shortage is the shortage of availability of relevant statistics which has created an ambiguity as
to how much construction activity is actually taking place and one can´t gauge the demand
and supply trends accurately. The opportunities and issues of affordable, low cost housing in
India are mainly related with tremendous shortfall of middle class housing as majority of the
developers are involved in developing high class housing, so there is a dearth of low cost
affordable units. The negative version of Indian real estate industry is “they have complete
disrespect for sustainability” and that the concept of green buildings, proper waste disposal
methods and the longevity of the product are often dismissed.

Presently, the impact of recession in US economy has impacted Indian Real Estate Market as
well as it is also witnessing the recession. Till now the real estate industry was a very
booming industry in India which were in pace with IT industry. Accordingly, the demand for
IT space and Commercial spaces has been grown. Also the high net worth of individual
investors has created a very fast pace of demand in Indian real estate sector which have gain a
very high impact image of investing in India.

As the money was coming in terms on investment in India from NRI as well as Private
Equity funds, the well known developers and real estate players have grown their portfolio as
well many small sized players have also created in Indian market. It has provided a very high
supply of real estate segments either in residential or in commercial or in office space. SEZ
has also creates a very good opportunities for investors as well as corporate to invest and get
benefited from Indian real estate market. So the booming market has created a niche as
modern living in India and created a very mass employment in Indian segment.

The recent changes which happened in American market such as Bankruptcy of Lehman
Brother an oldest financial firm of American market and sell process of PE Firm Merryl
lynch by the largest US bank Bank of America has created a very fast drops/recession in
financial industry and created a crisis in all over US economy. Both of these firms were
invested their more part of funds in to real estate sector without having the proper analyzing
or effect. They also have given the funds for mortgage industry of US which is currently
facing the hurdle of Sub prime lending and have impacted many players to bankrupt.

All of these changes in US economy have impacted in Indian economy as well as Real estate
segment as most of the Indian players have their liquidity funded by both of these firms. Also
the IT segment which was mainly funded by the PE firms or have their export to US markets
have noticed very sharp drop of net worth of their firms. This recession also impacted the
Sensex which has bullish very sharply and brings down the net worth of the leader of Indian
real estate player very low. The impact can be shown in share price of DLF, Unitech, GMR
group, Reliance group, Wipro, Satyam etc groups.
All of these sudden changes in Indian and US market created a point of thinking to investors
& individuals that where it will go and what will be best option in real estate investment. The
market rates in India are also dropped by 10 to 30% in most of prominent as well as
upcoming cities and the trend appears to be still continuing till it will not recover the effects
of this financial crisis.

INTRODUCTION
Sahara Infrastructure & Housing, originated to hasten the pace of progress of the
country, is the largest Infrastructure & Housing Company with an array of multi-
dimensional ventures like Mini & Mega townships, Shopping Malls & Commercial
Complexes across India

This project was undertaken to find out the feasibility of SAHARA CITY HOMES. It
includes all the vital and financial details based on certain assumptions provided by the
competent authorities of the organization in keeping with the actual financial data.

The financial statements made under this study are.

Total fund flow, Inflows, Outflows, Advances from customers, Work in Progress, Bank
Account, Profit & loss and Balance Sheet. Charts and Bar graphs are also drawn depicting the
same.

Based on the above financial Capital Budgeting techniques were applied. Finally the SWOT
analysis of the organization was done and thereafter recommendations were made.
Positively everyone is celebrating India's coming of age, whether it is cricket, movies,
tourism, software, culture. With the US.

As I shifted my offices from Mumbai to Lucknow, I noticed, amidst all these positive
developments the real estate scenario is also undergoing significant change. The real estate
market in India continues to ride high on a robust & booming economy. Business circles,
seminars and conferences are eclectic discussing the overdrive which has a lot to do with
100 percent FDI, NURMA (National Urban Renewal Mission) , ULCRA and tax efficient
home loans. Industry bodies like NARDECO & ICRA are also contributing to it by rating
the developers & their projects.

Platitudes about affordable housing, vast floor plates, and newer building techniques have
been substantiated by the comfortable numbness of statistics and squatters.

While discussing these issues with my peers it came as a realisation to me that real estate is
a People's Business: people as sellers and people as buyers. While people as buyers or
customers are fast changing and becoming more demanding with increased incomes,
affordability and evolving real estate formats and offerings; people in business of servicing
customers have failed to keep pace even as overseas players have come in with this rapid
change. More surprising is the fact that acclaimed real estate renaissance is seen as a
phenomenon witnessed only in metros and big cities. Evidently, $1 billion worth of real
estate fund proposals filed with the SEBI as FDI is yet to transcend to heartlands of India.
Seemingly, the acclaimed real estate gurus are perpetrated about the changing times.
Growth and aspirations of real estate customers or consumers is an entity acclaimed only
in metros and big cities and smaller ones are discreetly marginalized. Whether it is the case
or it is dictated by the business equations may be a debatable issue on ethical grounds.

As a group of concerned, responsible individuals at Sahara Infrastructure and Housing we

plan to propagate the real estate phenomenon across 217 cities in India. People as buyers
are rightly represented in our plans; as Sahara City Homes is firmly rooted into almost
every sector like security, health, beauty, home improvement, electricity, water, transport,
education and entertainment.

SAHARA INFRASTRUCTURE
Sahara Infrastructure & Housing is India's best & the largest realtor with leadership in
offering innovative products to the esteemed customer.

Our projects are planned to become living legends of class, comfort & elegance. The world
class quality along with adequate emphasis on security & health has given us an edge over
others.

• There are various measures to ensure multi-level security to the residents of the townships
to create a safe & relaxing environment.

• Health of the residents is another highlighting feature of the townships where complete
measure has been taken to ensure health & hygiene.

Qualification of Work Force

Business Ethics
Sahara India Pariwar is an ethically bound company, rich in its values. All its forays are
committed to its ethos & on the whole it stands as an Emotionally Integrated Family.

Sahara Infrastructure & Housing, which is an integral part of Sahara India Pariwar has also
started emanating similar vibes.

At Sahara Infrastructure & Housing we aim at serving our internal & external customers well
& believe that a satisfied customer is the gateway towards a company's success. Keeping this
in mind we have come up with prestigious residential & commercial projects that plug the
unfulfilled needs of the customers. These projects are packed with an assurance of quality.

Each Government Norm is followed completely. All the projects are Earthquake Resistant &
Environment friendly. We have obtained quality certification like ISO 9001 for some
projects & seek to obtain it for the upcoming ones to ensure premium quality in construction,
designing & specifications. Our Environment friendly approach supports our belief in healthy
living. The ISO 14001 is not merely a certification we have added to our credentials, it is a
means to authenticate our opinion. We stress on vast green lands in our projects & render
around 55% of the total area to full greenery as a ritual. As a mark of our devotion towards
environment conservation we have planted 25000 saplings at our Gorakhpur Township & are
going to plant around 9000 trees in each of our prestigious project Sahara City Homes.
We have embraced societal progress as our underlying objective and our genuine concern for
the workers & employees would get strengthened by achievement of certifications like SA
8000 & OHSAS 18001.

As a tribute towards the victims of Gujarat Earthquake, two villages were specifically
adopted to rehabilitate the people. We were also actively involved in rehabilitating the
Tsunami victims.

Our moral & ethical objectives also reflect in the reservation for special categories in our
residential projects which is upto 10% of the total units. These categories can purchase the
units at a discount of 30% of the unit price. Where professionalism & pragmatism have now
become the talk of the town, we stand tall following our traditional values & catering to the
customers with best services at premium quality.

We seek to achieve following certifications for all of our projects:

• ISO-9001 { for Quality Management System }

• ISO-14001 {for Environment Management System}

that transcends all castes, creed and sects. Bharat Parva is Celebrated on every 26th of
