FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS All statements contained in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus that are not statements of historical fact constitute forward-looking statements. All statements regarding our expected financial condition and results of operations, business, plans and prospects are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include statements with respect to our business strategy, our revenue and profitability, our projects and other matters discussed in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus regarding matters that are not historical facts. Investors can generally identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as aim, anticipate, believe, expect, estimate, intend, objective, plan, project, may, will, will continue, will pursue or other words or phrases of similar import. All forward looking statements (whether made by us or any third party) are predictions and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the relevant forward-looking statement. Forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are not a guarantee of future performance. These statements are based on our managements beliefs and assumptions, which in turn are based on currently available information. Although we believe the assumptions upon which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of these assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and the forward-looking statements based on these assumptions could be incorrect. Further the actual results may differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements due to risks or uncertainties associated with our expectations with respect to, but not limited to, regulatory changes pertaining to the industries in India and our ability to respond to them, our ability to successfully implement our strategy, our development plan, our growth and expansion, technological changes, our exposure to market risks, general economic and political conditions in India and overseas, which have an impact on our business activities or investments, the monetary and fiscal policies of India and other jurisdictions in which we operate, inflation, deflation, unanticipated turbulence in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices or other rates or prices, the performance of the financial markets in India and globally, changes in domestic laws, regulations and taxes, changes in competition in our industry and incidence of any natural calamities and/or acts of violence. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include, but are not limited to, the following: The diversified economy we expect may not come to fruition; Any unexpected changes or developments, as we have completed only a part of our development plan for Lavasa in terms of the area purchased and developed for infrastructure real estate; If the State Government does not approve the proposals for development of Lavasa prepared by the SPA, in a timely manner or at all, or suggests material modifications to such proposals; Inability to successfully implement our development plan; and Failure to maintain high levels of customer satisfaction.

For further discussions of factors that could cause our actual results to differ, please see Risk Factors and Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations on pages xii and 285, respectively. By their nature, certain risk disclosures are only estimates and could be materially different from what actually occurs in the future. As a result, actual future gains or losses could materially differ from those that have been estimated. Our Company, our Directors, the BRLMs, the Syndicate and their respective affiliates or associates do not have any obligation to, and do not intend to, update or otherwise revise any statements reflecting circumstances arising after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of underlying events, even if the underlying assumptions do not come to fruition. In accordance with the SEBI requirements, our Company and the BRLMs will ensure that investors in India are informed of material developments until such time as the grant of listing and trading permissions by the Stock Exchanges.

RISK FACTORS An investment in our Equity Shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider all the information in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, including the risks and uncertainties described below, before making an investment in our Equity Shares. If any one or a combination of the following risks actually occur, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations could suffer, the trading price of our Equity Shares could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment. Unless specified in the relevant risk factor below, we are not in a position to quantify the financial implication of any of the risks mentioned below. Any potential investor in, and purchaser of, the Equity Shares should pay particular attention to the fact that we are governed, in India by a legal and regulatory environment which may be different from that which prevails in the United States and other countries in some material respects. In addition, the risks set out in this section may not be exhaustive and additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or which we currently deem to be immaterial, may arise or may become material in the future. In making an investment decision, prospective investors must rely on their own examination of us on a consolidated basis and the terms of the Issue including the merits and the risks involved. To obtain a complete understanding of our business, you should read the sections Our Business and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Result of Operations on pages 98 and 285, respectively. If our business, result of operations or financial condition suffers, the price of our Equity Shares and value of your investments in the Equity Shares could decline. This Draft Red Herring Prospectus also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including the considerations described below and elsewhere in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. In this section, unless the context otherwise requires, a reference to our Company or to we, us and our refers to Lavasa Corporation Limited, and our Subsidiaries and Associates on a consolidated basis. Unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires, the financial information used in this section is derived from the audited restated consolidated and standalone financial statements of our Company. Internal Risks 1. There are outstanding legal proceedings against us, our Directors and our Promoters. There are outstanding legal proceedings involving us, our Directors and our Promoters.

An adverse outcome in any of these proceedings may affect our reputation and standing and impact our future business and could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. We cannot assure you that any of these proceedings will be decided in favour of us, our Directors or our Promoters, or that no further liability will arise out of these proceedings. For further details of outstanding litigation against us, our Directors and our Promoters, please see Outstanding Litigation and Material Developments on page 313. 2. We will not be able to proceed with the Issue if there are any outstanding DDCDs or any other outstanding convertible securities. Our Company has issued DDCDs which are, at the option of the holders thereof, convertible into Equity Shares. The SEBI Regulations require that no issuer shall make an initial public offer if as on the date of registering the prospectus with the Registrar of Companies there are any outstanding convertible securities or any other right which would entitle any person any option to receive equity shares after an initial public offer. All the holders of the DDCDs, other than the United Bank of India, have either agreed to prepayment of the DDCDs, or have given their consent to convert the DDCDs held by them into Equity Shares or nonconvertible debentures of our Company, prior to the filing of the Red Herring Prospectus in connection with the Issue with the Registrar of Companies. The United Bank of India has, pursuant to a letter dated September 9, 2010, communicated to our Company that they are considering either (i) a prepayment of the DDCDs held by them with a specified penal interest, or (ii) conversion of such DDCDs into nonconvertible debentures, subject to the approval from a competent authority in the United Bank of India. We however cannot guarantee or assure you that the United Bank of India will exercise either of these two options in a timely manner or at all, in which event our Company will not be able to proceed with the Issue. 3. The Lavasa vision involves significant risk in that the diversified economy we expect may not come to fruition, which would have an impact upon the profitability of our subsidiaries and associates and would cause us to have excess real estate and infrastructure capacity. We believe that once completed Lavasa would be a city with a diversified economy offering employment opportunities and containing a wide variety of housing options, hospitality offerings, retail, office and entertainment spaces, educational institutes and health and wellness centres. In addition, we are proposing to develop complementary business opportunities in the hospitality, education, tourism and leisure, healthcare and retail sectors through investments in our subsidiaries and associates. It is possible that our vision may not come to fruition completely or in a timely manner or at all. In particular, whilst we have experienced some early successes with respect to the sale and/or lease of residential real estate and entering into various arrangements with hospitality and educational companies, it is possible that residents and visitors of Lavasa use their residential units primarily as second and/or holiday homes. If we are unable to attract adequate businesses to set up offices in Lavasa, the residents of Lavasa may possibly use their residential units as second homes. Moreover, if our vision of a diversified economy is not achieved, then the profitability of our subsidiaries and associates relating to hospitality, tourism, education and health could be adversely affected and there may be excess capacity in our residential and commercial units and

xiii

infrastructure, which, in either case, would have a material adverse effect on our business segments and results of operations. 4. As of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we have completed only a part of our development plan for Lavasa in terms of the area purchased and developed for infrastructure real estate, which may not be a fair indication of the success of our future plans. Any unexpected changes or developments may adversely affect our future performance, financial condition and results of operation. Our development plan, which is an evolving and adaptive document, targets the development of approximately 12,553 acres out of 13,226 acres of land and is spread over four development periods. As of September 10, 2010, we have purchased approximately 9,460 acres of land and have entered into MoUs with various land aggregators in connection with the purchase of approximately 3,766 acres of land. In addition to the above, we may purchase an additional approximately 5,469 acres of land within the area declared as a hill station pursuant to the Hill Station Regulations on an opportunistic basis and though we expect, that this will generate additional sources of revenue for us, there is no certainty of the same. However, as a substantial part of the development plan still remains to be initiated, the current status of our progress cannot be construed as an indication of our future performance or our ability to successfully complete the remainder of our development plan. We may experience unforeseen problems, changes in consumer demands and preferences, changes in regulations or adverse developments which may adversely affect our ability to complete our development plan, introduce changes to our development plan or cause delays in its implementation. Any such changes may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operation. 5. Our ability to develop Lavasa in accordance with our proposed designs and development plan, in a timely manner or at all may be adversely affected if the State Government does not approve the proposals for development of Lavasa prepared by the SPA, in a timely manner or at all, or suggests material modifications to such proposals. Pursuant to a notification dated June 12, 2008, issued under the MRTP Act, (SPA Notification), the Government of Maharashtra has appointed us as a special planning authority in connection with land owned and proposed to be developed by us in 14 villages. In terms of the MRTP Act, the SPA is required to, from time to time, submit its proposals for the development of the land in the area as detailed in the SPA Notification, (being land either currently owned by us or land which is proposed to be purchased by us), (Statutory Proposals), to the State Government after having invited and considered suggestions and objections from the public. The State Government may in turn, after consultation with the Director of Town Planning, approve such Statutory Proposals either with or without modification. The Statutory Proposals is required to be prepared taking into consideration the provisions of any regional plan or a draft thereof, any development plan, building bye-laws and regulations, which are already in force in the area notified under the SPA Notification. Prior to the SPA Notification, pursuant to a letter dated June 7, 2008, the Office of the Collector, Revenue Department, District Pune, had approved and granted permission to our Company for our proposed development at Village Dasve and Padalghar for a total area of 636.82 hectares. Currently, the draft Statutory Proposals for land owned and proposed to be developed by us has been approved by the SPA and is pending publication amongst others in the official gazette and local newspapers, for public review and receipt of public suggestions. Consequently, this draft Statutory Proposals, after having considered the comments received from the public, as appropriate, shall be submitted to the State Government for its approval. For details, please see Our Business Our governance platform. If the State Government does not approve the Statutory Proposals that the SPA submits, in a timely manner or at all, or suggests any material modifications to such Statutory Proposals, our ability to develop Lavasa in accordance with our development plan and Master Plan, in a timely manner or at all could be adversely affected, which in turn could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In

xiv

addition, such refusal of approval or modification of the development plan may adversely impact the arrangements that we have entered into with various partners for future developments, which may result in claims from these counterparties and adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition. 6. As we are not in a mature industry, we will not be aided by an established industry knowledge, which could cause us to make sub-optimal strategic or operational decisions. Lavasa will be a hill city in India when finished and, to the best of our knowledge, there are no industry competitors developing similar private cities in India as of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. Lavasa is, therefore, largely without precedent and we will not be aided by an industry knowledge that sometimes exists in more mature industries, and, accordingly, we may pursue strategies that are suboptimal for our business segments and we may, as a participant in a young industry, shift strategies frequently, which could also have a material adverse impact on our business. 7. Lavasa's location may not attract residents and businesses and the competition that may arise from neighbouring cities such as Mumbai, Pune and other corridors could adversely affect our results of operations. We are located at a distance of 216 kilometers from Mumbai via Chandni Chowk (an area on the outskirts of Pune) and 42 kilometers from Chandni Chowk. The nearest international airport from Lavasa is the Lohagaon Airport at Pune, which is approximately 72 kilometers north-east of Lavasa and another international airport is the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport at Mumbai, which is approximately 220 kilometers away from Lavasa. Further, the nearest railway station from Lavasa is located at Pune, at a distance of approximately 65 kilometers from Lavasa. Although international airports are currently proposed at Chakan near Pune and Panvel in Navi Mumbai, located approximately 99 kilometers and 145 kilometers, respectively, from Lavasa, we cannot assure you that these will be completed in the time expected or at all. The lack of an airport and railway stations in Lavasa and the fact that Lavasa is not an established urban centre may deter potential residents from living in Lavasa. We face the risk that potential residents may use Lavasa as a second/holiday home, which would lead to our vision for Lavasa not coming to fruition. Further, we are currently in the process of developing a tunnel at Mugaon which would reduce the distance between Lavasa and Mumbai. The completion of the Mugaon tunnel is desirable in order to ensure connectivity of Lavasa with Mumbai as the tunnel will reduce the distance to approximately 199 kilometres and the discomfort of travelling on a winding hill road that presently provides the main access to Lavasa. Any failure to complete this tunnel in the expected time or at all could affect the convenience of access to Lavasa for residents, visitors and investors and thereby adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, our location could also prove to be a disadvantage as we may face competition from (i) the cities of Mumbai and Pune to the extent that these cities offer improved infrastructure development and facilities as compared to existing facilities; and (ii) new urban centres which are being developed or may be developed in the Mumbai Pune corridor. The aforementioned competition may impact our ability to attract potential future residents and thereby adversely affect our ability to develop and sell or lease our projects. 8. We may be unable to successfully implement our development plan. We may face various difficulties in the implementation of our development plan for Lavasa. There may be certain modifications required to suit market conditions and regulatory, contractual or other issues that may arise in the future. Additionally, as our development plan goes up to the year 2021, we may be subject to several unforeseen changes in consumer preferences, laws and regulations, including claims and defects in title, competition from new players in the market and changes in pricing for real estate and raw materials. In particular, Period 4 (2019 to 2021) of our development plan presently contemplates the development of 4,507 acres of land. There can be no assurance that we would develop all of this land as planned or at all. For instance, we may be required to change our development plan if the State Government does not approve the proposals related to development of Lavasa, as submitted by the SPA, or suggests any material

xv

modifications to such proposals. Further, we may need to change our development plan to provide for any unforeseen changes. Subject to statutory requirements, the discretion to make changes to our development plan rests solely with our management and we may depart from our current strategies relating to various elements of our development plan. Any failure to identify changing requirements could result in our development plan not catering to the requirements of future residents which may adversely affect the attractiveness of Lavasa. In our limited operating history thus far, we have adapted our strategy on account of market conditions. We cannot assure you that we will not change our development plan in the future or that any changes in our development plan in the future would be successful or that we may be able to successfully anticipate any changes requiring us to modify our strategy. At present, our development plan is dependent upon a high volume of supply of non-residential development, which we expect would drive the demand for residential units in the future. We cannot assure you that this strategy would be successful. Further, there is a risk that the decisions of the management, as viewed by the market and investor community, may be considered sub-optimal for our end-objectives. 9. Our estimates relating to permanent population, number of tourists, employment base and infrastructure standards in Lavasa as disclosed elsewhere in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus are based on our internal estimates and we cannot assure you that we will be able to achieve these; certain of the information contained in the Industry section was prepared by a company that provides consulting services to us from time to time and accordingly it may be less objective or reliable than information prepared by an independent third party. Based on the land we own or have entered into MoUs and/or agreements to purchase as of September 10, 2010 measuring 13,226 acres, we estimate that Lavasa can accommodate a permanent population of approximately 300,000 with facilities for approximately two million tourists per annum and an employment base of approximately 97,000. We aim that every square foot of non-residential asset development will lead to approximately two square feet of residential asset demand. Additionally, based on our designs and development plan we expect to achieve sewage and solid waste treatment, piped water, sewage and septic tank coverage, storm water drains and water supply at better or comparable to current best-in-class standards. For further details, please see Our Business Overview on page 98. These estimates are based on our internal estimates and have not been independently verified by an expert or at all and accordingly we cannot assure you that we will be able to achieve these. Furthermore, if we are unable to implement our development plan due to market conditions, regulatory hurdles or requirements or other issues, we will likely be unable to achieve these estimates which would further adversely affect our results of operations. In addition, certain of the information contained in the Industry section related to the Gurgaon case study is based on a report prepared for us by Feedback Ventures, a company that has provided certain consulting services to us from time to time. Accordingly, such information may be less objective or reliable than information prepared by an independent third party. 10. Our businesses operated through our subsidiaries and associates may not be synergistic and we may not be able to achieve economies of scale across all of them. Further, the success of some of the businesses is connected to the success of the other related businesses. We believe that Lavasa will offer infrastructure and city management services and, once all the towns in Lavasa are operational, it would be a city with a wide variety of housing options, hospitality offerings, retail, office and entertainment spaces, educational institutes and health and wellness centres. Accordingly, our businesses operated through our subsidiaries and associates are comprised of several diverse industries, which may not necessarily be synergistic in nature and we may not be able to achieve economies of scale across all of them. Further, the success of some of our businesses is connected to the success of other related businesses, for example, the success of convention centres planned in Lavasa depends upon the success of the hotels in Lavasa and, accordingly, if the results and revenues of one of our businesses is less than expected, our other businesses and our financial condition could be adversely affected.

xvi

11.

Failure to maintain high levels of customer satisfaction would limit the attractiveness of Lavasa, thereby adversely affecting our business financial condition and results of operation. Given the unprecedented nature of the Lavasa development, our success depends upon our ability to maintain customer satisfaction, starting from the registration process, construction through to handover, post-sale operations and maintenance. Continued quality of services are important to help sustain the growth of sales of built-up structures and/or leases of our properties and further development. Failure to do so would limit our real estate transactions and limit the attractiveness of Lavasa. Additionally, a failure to anticipate the demands and preferences of potential future residents and businesses may lead to a failure to adequately develop Lavasa as a city. This may lead to Lavasa becoming a second home or a holiday home for potential full-time residents. Further, failure to anticipate such demand and preferences or any reduction in market off-take may also lead to a decline in interest from future potential partners and may cause our existing partners to be less willing to invest in Lavasa. This may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

12.

Our development plan may fail to anticipate the construction/development of diverse institutions essential in the development of a city. In the course of development of Lavasa, we may realize that either by design or by over-sight, we have not undertaken the development of diverse social and economic institutions, which are necessary for the development of a city. We cannot assure you that we will be able to predict and/or cater to the future demands and requirements for community and cultural institutions of our future residents. Any failure to anticipate and cater to such demand may deter potential residents from living in Lavasa and may adversely affect resident satisfaction and our business, financial condition and results of operation.

13.

We are a company with a limited operating history, with no proven successful precedent of the same scale in the private sector space. Therefore, investors may not be able to assess our prospects on the basis of past results or in comparison with a peer industry. We were incorporated as a limited liability company under the Companies Act in 2000. Our vision of developing a privately constructed city of the scale of Lavasa with a private entity as the principal development and management authority is unprecedented in India. As we do not have significant operating and financial history, it may be difficult to evaluate our current or future prospects. Our total income on a consolidated basis for the three months ended June 30, 2010, FY 2010, FY 2009 and FY 2008 was ` 935.20 million, ` 3,089.09 million, ` 2,076.74 million and ` 0.07 million respectively. Our past performance should not be construed as an indication of our future performance. Companies in their early stages of development present substantial business and financial risks and may suffer significant losses. Additionally, neither we nor our Promoters have experience in developing integrated townships or similar real estate developments. With no comparable benchmarks, of similar nature or size, it can be difficult to compare a growth path for the development. Lavasa is still in the early stages of its development, and has demonstrated success on a small scale but the extrapolation of this track record in the future can be unreliable.

14.

We may not be able to successfully manage the growth of our operations. As a result of our short operating history and our ambitious growth strategy, our proposed expansion and diversification will place significant demands on our management as well as our financial, accounting and operating systems. Pursuant to our development plan, which is divided into four periods from 2008 to 2021, we have invested in large-scale physical infrastructure such as roads, water dams, sewage and drainage, and power transmission, housing and essential amenities early in our life-cycle, followed by a focus on the development of a diverse economic activity base, which includes commercial, hospitality, educational, healthcare, tourism and leisure and social activities. Our growth strategy carries significant risks and challenges, including that: (1) our various business initiatives may not be accepted by potential customers; (2) our marketing strategies for our business segments may be less effective than planned and may fail to effectively reach our targeted consumer base;

xvii

(3) we may incur greater costs than we currently envision as a result of the continued development and launch of our new projects; (4) we may experience a slowdown in leases/sales of certain of our real estate assets, inter alia, including built up spaces as a result of the introduction of new projects in similar locations; and (5) we may experience delays or other difficulties which impact our ability, or the ability of our third party contractors and developers, to develop and construct our projects in a timely manner. There can be no assurance that we will be able to execute our growth strategy on time and within the estimated budget, or that we will meet the expectations of our customers. In order to manage growth effectively, we must implement and improve operational systems, procedures and controls on a timely basis, which, as we grow and diversify, we may not be able to implement, manage or execute efficiently and in a timely manner or at all, which could result in delays, increased costs and diminished quality and may adversely affect our results of operations and our reputation. If we are unable to manage our growth effectively, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be adversely affected. 15. There may be delays in the completion of our development or projects at Lavasa. Our development plan is an evolving and adaptive document. Though our development plan is divided into four periods, to achieve the overall development of Lavasa in a timely manner, we are required to meet various timelines for different developments, all of which may not be within our control. To illustrate, we expect Dasve, our first town, to be substantially operational during FY 2012; the Mugaon tunnel to be operational in FY 2013; and the infrastructure for Mugaon to be substantially completed during FY 2014. Although typically we have prepared preliminary management and development plans for all of our projects in a timely manner in the past, we are yet to formulate our financing plans for certain of these projects and have not applied for any regulatory consents or approvals for some of these projects. As such our projects are subject to significant changes and modifications from our currently estimated plans and timelines as a result of factors outside our control, including, among others availability of raw materials and financing, increases in construction costs, natural disasters, reliance on third party contractors and the risk of decreased market demand during the development of a project. Such changes and modifications may have a significant impact on our projects and development plan in general and consequently, this may have a material adverse affect on our business and results of operations. 16. The success of Lavasa depends upon complying with laws, rules, regulations and notifications promulgated by the central, state and local government bodies, and to the extent there are changes in their policies or stricter or more costly regulations imposed, our results of operations could be adversely affected. Our business model depends on our compliance with laws and regulations promulgated by central, state and local governments, which are responsible for land and development, land reform implementation, land conservation and rural housing and other rural development programmes, as well as granting approvals and no objections for various activities proposed to be undertaken. For example, we are required to obtain approvals, permissions and NoCs from the MPCB, Environment Department, Government of Maharashtra, Office of the Fire Advisor, Government of Maharashtra and the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India. In addition, various authorities may impose conditions or sanctions upon us. For further details, see Government Approvals on page 338. In addition, the Government of Maharashtra may amend the Hill Station Regulations which may impact the floor space index for the construction of buildings in Lavasa. If any of these entities change their policies or imposes stricter or more onerous regulations, our development plan may be adversely impacted. 17. We are required to obtain, renew and maintain statutory and regulatory permits, licenses and approvals from time to time. Any delay or inability to obtain such approvals may have an adverse impact on our business. We require certain statutory and regulatory permits, licenses and approvals to execute our projects and operate our business and applications need to be made at appropriate stages for such approvals. Additionally, we require completion/occupation certificates to be delivered to us upon completion of a project or a phase of the project. For details, please see Government Approvals on page 338. While we

xviii

have applied for a few of these approvals and permits, we cannot assure you that we will receive these approvals in time or at all in relation to execution of our construction/development activities in Lavasa. For instance, we have obtained environmental clearance from the environment department of the Government of Maharashtra for 2,000 hectares of land. We have applied for environmental clearance from the State Environment Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA) for approximately 5,000 hectares of the project area for Lavasa. For further details, see Government Approvals on page 338. Certain special interest groups and environmental activists are campaigning against granting the clearance and are seeking a stay on the development and construction work of the project. If we fail to obtain clearance from SEIAA, we would not be able to commence development for Periods 3 and 4 of our development plan. If there is a delay in obtaining this clearance, it may disrupt the schedule of our development plan and have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operation. Further, if we fail to obtain approval from the State Government for the Statutory Proposals of the SPA, if there is a delay in obtaining such approval, or if the Statement Government suggests material modifications to it, we may be required to change our development plan, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operation. Further, in the future we will be required to apply for fresh approvals and permits for our projects. There can be no assurance that the relevant authorities will issue any of such permits or approvals in the time frames anticipated by us or at all. Further, we make applications for renewals in relation to certain approvals or licenses that have expired but have not yet received these approvals or licenses. If we fail to obtain the necessary approvals and permits or if there is any delay in obtaining these approvals and permits, it may disrupt the schedule of development and sale or letting of our projects, impede the execution of our business plans and may materially and adversely affect our business and financial condition. Additionally, any change in applicable law or regulations in relation to our business or of any of the businesses operating within Lavasa may also adversely our business, financial condition or results of operations. 18. The breadth of our vision may distract our management who may be unable to achieve or maintain required expertise for each business segments operated through our subsidiaries and associates which may hamper our business operations. The breadth of our vision may serve to distract management who may be unable to achieve or maintain an essential level of expertise in each segment of our business due to too many competing segmental interests. If our management is unable to achieve or maintain a necessary level of expertise or if we do not realize synergies across our business segments, our results of operations would be adversely impacted. Further, given the diverse nature of our business segments, we may be unable to recruit and retain adequately qualified professionals who may instead opt for companies with narrower strategies, which may hamper the growth of our business operations. 19. Our purchase of land at Lavasa has been challenged by way of a public interest litigation. The state of Maharashtra has declared an area of 18 villages in Mulshi and Velhe Taluka in Pune as a hill station, measuring approximately 23,014 acres. As of September 10, 2010, we have purchased approximately 9,460 acres of largely contiguous land within this designated area. A public interest litigation (PIL) has been filed before the Bombay High Court against the state of Maharashtra, the Collector, Pune and our Company amongst others wherein it has been alleged that our Company has purchased more than 10,000 acres of land in violation of sections 9 and 10 of the Maharashtra Agricultural (Ceiling on Holdings) Act, 1961 (the Ceiling Act). Section 9 read with section 10 of the Ceiling Act states that any land acquired in excess of the ceiling area shall be forfeited and shall vest in the state government. The PIL has sought an injunction restraining our Company from developing the land and creating any third party interest in the land. We have contended in our written submissions that we do not require permission under the Ceiling Act for the land purchased and hence the purchase is not in violation of the Ceiling Act. While no interim orders have been passed, the matter is currently pending further

xix

hearing and final disposal before the Bombay High Court. For further details see Outstanding Litigation and Material Developments on page 313. Such legal proceedings can distract management time and stall or delay our development plan for Lavasa. Further, if the outcome of the PIL is not favourable to us and it is held that we did not have the requisite permissions to purchase the land or that it is required to obtain further approvals and permissions, our Development Plan at Lavasa may not be completed in a timely manner or at all. This may have a material adverse affect on our business and results of operations. 20. We have been leased approximately 348 acres of land located within the catchment area of Warasgaon dam pursuant to a 30 year lease from MKVDC. The lease is subject to certain terms and conditions and we may not be able to renew it. We have been leased approximately 348 acres of land located within the catchment area of Warasgaon dam pursuant to a 30 year lease from MKVDC by an agreement dated September 23, 2002. Out of this 348 acres of land, an area of approximately 318 acres is submerged land and approximately 30 acres is unsubmerged land. The lease is subject to certain terms and conditions and we may not be able to renew it. We are required to pay approximately ` 0.27 million per annum under this lease agreement. After expiration of the lease period, we are required to return the land to MKVDC. We may not be able to recover the costs incurred for developments on this unsubmerged land and the two dams at Dasve and Gadle on this land during the lease period. In the event that MKVDC does not renew the lease agreement or renews the lease subject to onerous conditions, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. 21. Our inability to purchase the remaining parcels of land required for completion of Lavasa on acceptable terms in a timely manner or at all may affect our future development. We purchase parcels of land, along with development rights over parcels of land in various locations from various landholders, over a period of time, for future development. These parcels of land are subsequently consolidated to form a substantially contiguous land mass, upon which we undertake development. As of September 10, 2010, we have purchased approximately 9,460 acres of land for development, and will consider purchasing on an opportunistic basis an additional 5,469 acres within the area notified as a hill station pursuant to the Hill Station Regulations for purposes of progressing our development plan. We cannot assure you that we will be able to purchase and obtain undisputed legal title to and possession of the land best suited for our projects. In the initial stages of Lavasa, we were able to purchase land at lower costs compared to the present costs of the land in the areas covering Lavasa. However, as the project plans have gradually become public, land procurement has gradually grown more difficult and expensive. Additionally, landowners who refuse to sell their land to us may also cause difficulty in city management as they will not be governed by the policies governing Lavasa. This may also affect the contiguity of land parcels required for the development of Lavasa. Further, we sometimes enter into MoUs and similar arrangements with third parties to purchase title with respect to certain land. To facilitate the process of purchase of land, our Company has entered into (a) a MoU dated August 12, 2010 with M/s. Swastik Enterprises in connection with the purchase of an aggregate of approximately 459.82 acres of land, (b) a MoU dated August 10, 2010 with M/s. Sumeet Land Developers in connection with the purchase of an aggregate of approximately 2,436 acres of land, (c) a MoU dated August 12, 2010 with M/s. Siddhivinayak Enterprises in connection with the purchase of an aggregate of approximately 782.22 acres of land, and (d) a MoU dated August 12, 2010 with Shri Ramchandra Shripati Ubhe in connection with the purchase of an aggregate of approximately 87.35 acres of land. For further details, see section titled Objects of the Issue on page 52. Since formal transfer of title or land development rights with respect to such land is completed only after all requisite governmental consents and approvals have been obtained and all conditions precedent to such agreements have been complied with, we are subject to the risk that pending such consents and approvals sellers may transfer the land to other purchasers or that we may never obtain registration of title or land

xx

development rights with respect to such land. We also make partial payments to sellers as consideration to purchase certain land or land development rights which we may be unable to recover under certain circumstances. The failure to purchase land on acceptable terms or at all may cause us to change, delay or limit the size of development at Lavasa and materially and adversely affect our competitive position, business, financial condition and results of operation. Further, any failure to recover the partial payment made by us with respect to such land, could adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. 22. The development of Lavasa is dependent upon our ability to anticipate market trends in Lavasa and the Mumbai Pune corridor in particular and in India in general. Further, we face competition from developers in the Mumbai Pune corridor and the areas between Mumbai and Pune. At present, our focus is centred around a single location, which entails a business and market risk and risks, inter-alia, relating to defects in title in the land that we purchase due to exposure to a single real estate market. It also exposes us to significant localized risks of both natural and unnatural calamities earthquakes, landslides, terrorist attacks, civil disturbances, regional conflicts, other acts of violence, outbreak of an infectious disease or any other serious public health concerns, all of which could have a long-term impact on the brand and future prospects of Lavasa. Since we commenced our operations relating to development of Lavasa, we have executed and registered lease deeds, agreements to lease, and/or have issued allotment letters (where the agreements to lease with respect to such allotment letters are pending execution and/or registration) with various customers in connection with the lease of an aggregate of 896 apartments, 461 villas (including sale of built up area) and 399 rental housing units (including sale of built up area). As we aim to continue to purchase, develop, sell built up structures and/or lease land and/or real estate assets across products in the residential, commercial, institutional, hospitality and social sectors, it is essential that we are able to correctly anticipate market trends and release the right amount of supply at the right time, in line with market conditions, to sustain our business. The development of Lavasa may be subject to market conditions and regulatory developments that are different from the real estate, infrastructure, hospitality, education, tourism and leisure, healthcare and retail markets in other parts of India. Any failure to anticipate market trends in this regard may adversely affect our business, financial conditions and results of operation. A failure to purchase additional land will also affect our development plan and our ability to execute our operations in accordance with the development plan in a timely manner or at all. Further, our operations encompassing the development of Lavasa are significantly affected by changes in government policies, economic and other conditions, such as economic slowdown, demographic trends, employment levels, availability of financing, interest rates, or demand for real estate, performance of the hospitality, entertainment, information technology and other sectors or the public perception that changes if any of these events may occur generally in India, and in the areas between Mumbai and Pune in particular. These factors can negatively affect the demand for and pricing of our projects and, as a result, may materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and our ability to service our debts. The financial, commercial and real estate markets in Maharashtra may perform differently from, and may be subject to market conditions and regulatory developments that are different from, such markets in other parts of India. Demand for residential and commercial units in Lavasa may decrease if potential purchasers/investors do not view Lavasa as an attractive place to live in and invest. These and other factors may contribute to fluctuations in prices at which we sell residential and commercial units in Lavasa which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. 23. The demand for real estate assets in Lavasa is subject to fluctuations in property values and rental income over time and our success may be adversely affected by poor demand for an integrated city or adverse real estate cycles as we would have excess real estate and infrastructure capacity.

xxi

Historically, the Indian real estate market has been subject to fluctuations, a phenomenon that can affect the optimal timing for both the purchase of land, the sale and/or lease of residential and commercial units and/or our ability to attract investment in the various businesses proposed to be carried out Lavasa. We cannot assure you that real estate market volatility will not continue to affect the Indian real estate market, and our various operations amongst others, including the development and sale of real estate assets, in the future. As a result, we may experience fluctuations in property values over time which in turn may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. While we have not experienced market volatility significantly impacting our real estate sales of built-up structures and/or leases, as we continue to launch large volumes of units in the market, our real estate sales of built-up structures and/or leases would be less insulated from the market trends, and the pricing and phasing of supply would need to be viewed in the context of competitive developments in Pune, Mumbai and the Mumbai Pune corridor. There could be cycles of poor real estate absorption tractions in the lifecycle of the Lavasa development. Any such adverse market trends may adversely affect our business, results of operation and financial condition. 24. Our proposed commercial subsidiaries and associates bear significant market risks and in order to build sufficient market traction, may need to discount their products which would have a material adverse affect on our operations. Certain of our subsidiaries and associates would hold our commercial properties and offer them on lease to companies. Currently we have leased 106,384 sq. ft. to DRL for the purpose of setting up and operating retail, food and beverage and other such outlets. In the initial years, as it is important for the project to be recognized as a successful commercial destination, these subsidiaries and associates would face significant pricing pressures. If Lavasa is not recognised as a successful commercial destination, then residents may just use our properties as second homes which would place additional pricing pressures on our consumption businesses (for instance our hotels may need to reduce room rates) and our vision for Lavasa would not come to fruition which would have a material adverse impact on our operations. If the market underperforms our expectations in this regard, the performance of these subsidiaries and associates would be affected, thereby adversely affecting us. Firstly, the equity returns for the stakeholding in these companies would be diminished. Secondly, reduced market size could curtail the orders being placed for the development of commercial space. 25. Our inability to anticipate and respond to consumer requirements would result in a failure to appropriately anticipate demand which would lead to a shortage or excess of real estate or infrastructure capacity. Our ability to identify suitable clients and anticipate their requirements is fundamental to our business and involves certain risks including identifying and developing appropriate projects, meeting the demands of the clients for such projects, understanding and responding to the expectations and market demands. Our growth and success will therefore depend on the provision of high quality projects to attract and retain clients who are willing and able to pay rent/lease premium or purchase prices at suitable levels, and on our ability to anticipate the future needs and expansion plans of these clients. Growing disposable income of India's middle and upper income classes, together with changes in lifestyle, has resulted in a substantial change in the nature of their demands. Increasingly, consumers are seeking better housing and better amenities such as schools, retail areas, health clubs and parks in new residential developments. Our focus is to develop Lavasa as a city with a variety of housing and hospitality options, retail, office and entertainment spaces, educational institutes and health and wellness centres. As a city development of the scale of Lavasa has not been previously undertaken in the private sector, we will face challenges in, among other things, developing projects according to the differing tastes of our potential customers and obtaining the requisite approvals from local authorities. In addition, privately planned cities have historically been uncommon in India and if we fail to anticipate and respond to consumer requirements, we could lose potential customers, which in turn could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

xxii

Our growth and success will depend on the provision of quality office space to attract and retain clients who are willing and able to pay rent or purchase prices at suitable levels, and on our ability to anticipate the future needs and expansion plans of these clients. We will incur significant costs for the integration of modern fittings, contemporary architecture and landscaping. In addition, our commercial customers may choose to purchase or develop their own commercial facilities, which may reduce the demand for our commercial properties from these customers. 26. Leases of our residential and commercial units with sale of built-up area in certain instances will be affected by the ability of our prospective customers to enter into long term leases for property and availability of financing to potential customers, particularly buyers of residential properties. As a result of the prevailing conditions of the global and Indian credit markets, it is expected that buyers and lessors of property in India will remain cautious, sale prices and rentals of residential properties and rentals of commercial properties will likely continue to face downward pressure and consumer sentiment and market spending will remain cautious in the nearterm. Further, changes in interest rates affect the ability and willingness of prospective real estate customers, particularly the customers of residential properties, to obtain financing for the purchase or lease of our properties. The interest rate at which our customers may borrow funds for the purchase or lease of our properties affects the affordability of our real estate projects. In particular, a large number of our residential customers finance their purchases/rentals through thirdparty mortgage financing. The recent economic downturn has caused a greater fluctuation in the interest rates and general uncertainty in the market, which could have a negative impact on our sales. Additionally, the lack of a robust secondary market for real estate in India could also reduce the willingness of prospective buyers to purchase our properties. While we have successfully marketed our development in the past, this may not continue nor may a secondary market develop in the future. These factors may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. 27. Some of the agreements with lessees and with our customers require us to pay a penalty in the event of delays in completion and handover of units or projects to them. We enter into agreements with our customers, which require us to complete the development of the unit or the project by a certain date stipulated in such agreements. The real estate lease deeds into which we have entered and propose to enter with our customers include provisions requiring us to pay a penalty for any delay in completion and delivery of the units to the customers. Further, our agreements for the lease of land and sale of villas contain penalty provisions that if we fail to deliver the possession of villas or apartments within the prescribed time for reasons that are not beyond our control, the customer shall be entitled to charge interest at the rate of 12% per annum or 2% over and above the State Bank of India cash credit rate, whichever is higher at the relevant time until the date of delivery of such possession. Accordingly, the aggregate of all penalties in the event of delays may adversely impact the overall profitability or the project and therefore adversely affects our business and financials and result of operations. We cannot assure you that we will always complete the construction or development of our properties in accordance with the timelines specified in such agreements, and as a result we may be liable for penalties in terms of such agreements. Delays in the completion of the construction of our projects will adversely affect our reputation. Further, such penalties that may become payable by us will have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. 28. Fluctuations in market conditions between the time we construct and enter into lease arrangements developed real estate assets may affect our ability to sell our real estate assets at expected prices, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We are subject to potentially significant fluctuations in the market value of our land in Lavasa and constructed inventories. We could be adversely affected if market conditions deteriorate or if we have purchased land or construct inventories at higher costs during stronger economic periods and the market value of the land or the constructed inventories subsequently declines during weaker economic periods. In addition, deviations from planned times to completion could have a material adverse affect due to, among other things, changes to the national, state and local business climate and regulatory environment, local real

xxiii

estate market conditions, perceptions of prospective customers with respect to the convenience and attractiveness of Lavasa, and changes with respect to competition from other property developments. Changes to our business environment during such time may affect the costs and revenues associated with the development and can ultimately affect the profitability of the development. If such changes occur during the time it takes to complete a certain project, our return on such project may be lower than expected, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, real estate assets are relatively illiquid, which may limit our ability to respond to changes in economic or other conditions. If real estate prices in India generally or at Lavasa specifically fall our results of operations would be adversely affected. Further, we receive milestone or part payments on our real estate properties and if a purchaser/lessor, on account of fluctuations in the market or for other reasons, discontinues making payments, the partially constructed property would continue to show as an inventory in our financial statements and, accordingly we may have excess real estate capacity which would adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operation. In addition, an inability to resell our real estate assets at the desired pricing levels may materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, our ability to service our debts and the trading price of our Equity Shares. 29. Our business is subject to extensive Government regulation, including in relation to land development, which may become more stringent in the future. Our business of developing Lavasa is subject to extensive government regulation and we are required to comply with various requirements mandated by Indian real estate related laws and regulations, including policies and procedures established and implemented by local authorities. Additionally, in order to develop and complete any real estate project, developers must obtain various approvals, permits and licenses from the relevant administrative authorities at various stages of project development. We are required to obtain the permission of the SPA for any changes in the use or development of land which is a part of the area notified as a hill station pursuant to the Hill Station Regulations. Development of any new area requires us to obtain the permission of the SPA and the SPA may revoke or modify the permission granted if the change is inconsistent with the draft planning proposal which is approved by the SPA and the planning proposal that is finally approved by the State Government, pursuant to publication and receipt of public suggestions thereon. We may experience problems in obtaining the requisite approvals or licenses in fulfilling the conditions precedent to any required approvals and may not be able to adapt to new laws, regulations or policies that may come into effect from time to time. If we experience material problems in obtaining or fail to obtain the requisite governmental approvals, the schedule of development and sale could be substantially disrupted, which may affect our financial performance. Certain approvals that we have applied for are currently pending and we may need to apply for renewal of approvals which may expire from time to time, in the ordinary course of our business. For further details of the approvals required by us, see Government Approvals on page 338. Although we believe that we are in material compliance with applicable laws and regulations, regulatory authorities may allege noncompliance or may subject us to regulatory action in the future, including penalties, seizure of land and other civil or criminal proceedings. Further, the Hill Station Regulations also contain certain development related restrictions and conditions. For example, the Hill Station Regulations provide that 33% of the total area under development should be kept as open space/ gardens/parks and the minimum size of residential plots should be 500 sq. mts. Further, construction on slopes is permitted, subject to certain conditions, as part of the development. Additionally, no development is permissible in areas at height of 1,000 meters or above. Additionally we are required to comply with other requirements while undertaking construction, such as, the minimum dimension of recreational space shall not be less than 7.4 meters and in any layout or sub-division of land, 10% of the entire holding area is to be reserved as additional space for common facilities and amenities to be provided for the use of the plot holders. Currently, we believe that we are in compliance with these requirements and

xxiv

restrictions. However, in future, there may be additional requirements or restrictions applicable to our development at Lavasa. Residential property owners in India can deduct principal payments (subject to a limit) and mortgage interest from taxable income. For details of the tax benefits available to us, see Statement of Tax Benefits on page 69. If the Government were to curtail such favourable tax treatment, it could reduce the affordability of residential housing for Indian families and diminish demand for our developments. These and other governmental policies affecting our business such as payment of stamp duty, registration requirements of property documents may change from time to time at the local, state and national level in India. Any such changes may require us to modify the manner in which we do business, or may result in our not being able to carry out specific planned or future projects within Lavasa. For further details relating to Governmental policies affecting our business please see Regulations and Policies on page 138. 30. Our business and growth plan could be adversely affected by the incidence and rate of property taxes and stamp duties. We are subject to the property tax regime in Maharashtra. These taxes could increase in the future, and new types of property taxes may be levied which would increase our overall development and other costs. Property conveyances are generally subject to stamp duty. For details, please see Regulations and Policies on page 138. If these duties increase, or any new type of property tax or stamp duty is introduced, the cost of leasing properties will rise which may affect the demand for villas, apartments and plots adversely. Additionally, if stamp duties were to be levied on instruments evidencing transactions which we believe are currently not subject to such duties, such as the grant or transfer of development rights, our purchase costs and lease premium and rentals would be affected, resulting in a reduction of our profitability. Any such changes in the incidence or rates of property taxes or stamp duties could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. 31. Land is subject to compulsory acquisition by the Government and compensation in lieu of such acquisition may be inadequate. The right to own property in India is subject to restrictions that may be imposed by the Government. In particular, the Government under the provisions of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 has the right to compulsorily acquire any land if such acquisition is for a public purpose, after making payment of compensation to the owner. However, the compensation paid pursuant to such acquisition may not be adequate to compensate the owner for the loss of such property. The likelihood of such actions may increase as the central and State Governments seek to acquire land for the development of infrastructure projects such as roads, railways and airports. Any such action in respect of any of the properties in Lavasa may adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. 32. Legal proceedings in relation to our land and payment of additional money for settlement of disputes, reworking of the premium or fees on land to the Government may increase the procurement cost. The 9,460 acres of land purchased by us includes Class I freehold land (i.e. land which can be transferred without government permission) as well as Class II lands which can be transferred subject to the payment of a premium to the District Collector, Pune, including ceiling surplus distributed land purchased by us with the approval of the District Collector, Pune. In spite of all the due care in procurement of land, legal proceedings in relation to title of the land and claims for additional compensation cannot be ruled out. In addition, Class II lands also involve payment of premia or fees to the Government, determination of which at times suffers from lack of clarity in interpretation of legal provisions. Hence, in the case of Class II lands too, the possibility of claims for additional compensation or premium may arise. Additionally, there may be a number of uncertainties relating to land title which may result in loss or impairment of our title in our land. Title to land is often fragmented and land may have multiple owners. Land may also have irregularities of title, such as non execution or non registration of conveyance deed and inadequate stamping, and may be subject to encumbrances which we may not be aware in spite of searches conducted

xxv

by us. We may be unable to identify disputes, unregistered encumbrances or adverse possession rights over title to the land we purchase. Prior to purchase of or entering into sale agreements with respect to any land we conduct searches in land records and assessment exercises on the land. Through an internal assessment process, we analyze information about land that we propose to purchase. However there can be no assurance that such information is accurate, complete or up to date. An inability to identify disputes, unregistered encumbrances or adverse possession rights over title may increase the procurement costs of these lands, thereby adversely affecting our business, financial condition and results of operations. 33. Some of our land may be subject to irregularities in title and some of our agreements may be inadequately stamped, as a result of which our operations may be impaired. We generally conduct in-house necessary searches in land records prior to purchase of any land for the purposes of our development activities. We may not be able to assess or identify certain risks and liabilities associated with irregularities in title. As a result, some of our land in respect of which we have title may have one or more irregularities and we may not have good and marketable title to such land, inter alia including unregistered encumbrances, adverse possession rights over title, inadequate stamping and/or nonregistration of deeds and/or agreements. If we do not derive, or are unable to obtain clear title to these lands and consequently are unable to carry out our operations in connection with such property, in a timely manner, our financial condition, profitability and results of operation may be adversely affected. 34. There are certain limitations in Indias property title registration system and other associated risks in relation to real property. In contrast to other countries, India does not have a central title registry for real property. Title registries are maintained at the state and district level and since computerisation of such records began only recently, may not be available online for inspection. In addition, because it is common practice in some parts of India (especially in villages) for transfers of title upon deaths of family members and in certain other circumstances to be made only by mutation in local revenue records, changes in the ownership of land may not be registered with the relevant land registry in a timely manner or at all. Title registries and local revenue records may not be updated or complete. As such, legal defects and irregularities may exist in the titles to the properties purchased and to be purchased by us. Our rights in respect of these properties may be compromised by improperly executed, unregistered or insufficiently stamped conveyance instruments, unregistered encumbrances in favour of third parties, rights of adverse possessors, ownership claims of family members of prior owners, or other defects that we may not be aware of. These defects may arise after land is purchased by us, and are not necessarily revealed by a title due diligence, on account of various factors including but not limited to incomplete land records, transactions without registered documents, the decentralised nature of maintenance of land registries and local revenue records, property-related litigation in India and family disputes in the sellers family. Any defects or irregularities of title may result in litigation and/or the loss of development rights over the affected property. With respect to projects on leasehold land, revocation/ expiry of the lease and any defect or irregularity in the lessors title may result in loss of our rights over affected property. For land that is in the process of being purchased, title verification is pending and there can be no assurance that such land will have clear title. 35. The development plan for Lavasa may face significant opposition from local communities and other parties, which may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. The development plan for Lavasa may face opposition from the local communities where Lavasa is located and from special interest groups. In particular, local communities, may oppose our land purchases and construction activities due to various reasons including the perceived negative impact such activities may have on the environment and increased demand on resources such as water from the rivers and reservoirs which may negatively impact or restrict such local communities access to resources. For instance, there are some land cases filed by the erstwhile owners of land in Lavasa alleging irregularities in the purchase of land. Opposition by local communities, non-governmental organizations and other parties to the land

xxvi

purchase process and development activities may delay the development plan for Lavasa which may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. 36. Our water requirements may not be met due to hydrological conditions or water flows inconsistent with our expectations and there are certain water bodies contiguous with Lavasa that we will not be able to access. Our water is proposed to be mainly sourced from the ten small dams or check dams that we plan to construct in our submergence and catchment area. Of these check dams, in order to ensure availability of water, we have constructed Dasve Dam and a 35.5-kilometer water distribution network. In addition, another dam at Gadle is under construction. These dams would create permanent water bodies in these villages enabling development of lakefront real estate. The remaining dams will likely be developed in Dasve, Dhamanohol, Gadle and Mugaon to create additional water bodies. Whilst we aim to develop additional water bodies, there can be no assurance that the water supply will be consistent with our projections or requirements, the long term historical water availability will remain unchanged in the future or no material hydrological event or drought will impact the current hydrological conditions. Additionally, we are under an obligation under our agreement with MKVDC to release water under extraordinary circumstances as determined by MKVDC from two dams in the submergence area representing 27.5% of our expected water supply requirements. On two occasions in the past two years, we have had to release water to the main Warasgaon lake. Such events may adversely affect our water requirements. 37. We may incur significant infrastructural costs if our lessees/residents default on the payment of maintenance charges. Significant infrastructural costs are attributed to the development of various projects including the establishment, construction and maintenance of services which include but are not limited to telecommunications and the internet. These infrastructural costs, maintenance charges, taxes on the property and stamp duty are generally directly borne by the Lessees/residents. Accordingly, if a lessee/resident defaults on the payment of maintenance charges or if we otherwise are unable to pass such costs to our lessee/resident, we would have to bear such costs. In the event that the number of such defaults becomes significant, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. 38. The State Government could acquire our infrastructure assets at marginal cost which would adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We are in the business of city development, with an integrated offering of three distinct business lines real estate, infrastructure and consumption. Our infrastructure business relates to the development, ownership and management of our infrastructure assets as well as the collection of revenues in the form of management fees. Presently, there is no clarity on the structure of the local authority for the management of Lavasa as the Gram Panchayat is continuing its statutory existence along with the SPA. Should there be any conflict between the Gram Panchayat and us on the levy of local taxes or maintenance of services, the State Government may exercise its power to acquire our infrastructure at nominal cost. In such an event, one of our key revenue streams may be adversely affected leading to an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operation. 39. The extent and reliability of infrastructure in and around Lavasa and any failure in our IT systems could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. Further, any change in technology may render our current technologies obsolete or require us to make substantial capital investments. Any congestion or disruption in rail and road networks, electricity grid, communication systems or any other infrastructure facility could disrupt our normal business activity. To reduce access time to Lavasa, we are currently constructing roads which include a tunnel and an alternative access road which are expected

xxvii

to be completed by FY 2013. Further, we are also developing infrastructure related to water treatment and distribution, power, sewerage and solid waste treatment. For details, see Our Business Our Infrastructure Business on page 120. However, these projects may not be successful in addressing some of the infrastructure issues our visitors and residents may face in travelling to and living in Lavasa. These problems could interrupt our business operations, which could adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Further, we use the geographic information system (GIS) to track the status of development of our projects. In the long term, we expect that GIS will be used for day to day operations and maintenance. The GIS will, we believe, be integrated with other IT deployments such as customer relationship management, document management systems and enterprise resource planning. For details, see Business Geographic Information Systems (GIS) on page 134. Any failure in our GIS or IT systems in general could disrupt our ability to track, record and analyze work in progress or cause loss of data and disruption to our operations, including an inability to assess the progress of our projects, process financial information or engage in normal business activities. Any such disruption could have an adverse effect on our business. Additionally, our business is subject to rapid and significant changes in technology. Although we strive to keep our technology in accordance with the latest international technological standards, the technologies currently employed may become obsolete or subject to competition from new technologies in the future. For details, see Our Business - Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Our Business Information, Communication and Technology on pages 134 and 136 respectively. The cost of implementing new technologies or expanding capacity could be significant and could adversely affect our results of operations. 40. Any disruption in power supply to Lavasa could adversely affect its development. Our primary source of power is the 110 KV transmission line laid from Tata Power's existing grid network at Nive, which is approximately 16 kilometres from Lavasa. We expect that Tata Power and the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited will be the primary agencies involved in the provision of power to Lavasa from their respective grids to the MRS at Bhoini. Given Lavasa's location, there exists a possibility of natural/unnatural damage of transmission network, especially in the monsoon season. In the event the power supply to Lavasa falls below the required amount, we may be required to arrange alternate sources of power. There can be no assurance that we will be able to make such alternate arrangements on acceptable terms or at all. This could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. 41. Our vision of providing reliable civic amenities and safety and security services may not be successful and any break down in these services may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operation. Safety and security at Lavasa is provided through two separate levels: first, a government police force provided by the Government of Maharashtra; and second, a Lavasa-trained and recruited security force which is expected to be comprised initially of about 15 personnel for each town, plus necessary contracted security guards and traffic wardens, all under the supervision of our city management team. Lavasa safety and security personnel will, however, work closely with the state police. The bulk of day-to-day safety and security work is likely to be performed by Lavasa-employed or Lavasa-contracted personnel, but they will have to rely on state police to intervene in cases of serious crime, arrest and criminal investigation. In addition, we are constructing a fire station and fire hydrants; portions of this system are already operational. Any break-down in the above civic amenities may lead to safety and security related problems in Lavasa, which we may not be able to effectively handle. We may also face liabilities for any safety, security or fire related incidents in Lavasa, which may also adversely affect our business reputation. Any such events may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operation.

The government of Maharashtra may withdraw the SPA status granted to us or may modify or introduce regulations and policies that adversely impact our development plan. The Government of Maharashtra has appointed us as an SPA in connection with land owned and proposed to be developed by us in 14 villages. The SPA has the power to hold, manage and dispose of the land and other property, to carry out buildings and other operations, to provide water, electricity, gas, sewerage and other services, amenities and facilities and generally do anything which is necessary and expedient to give effect to the development of the area as planned, subject to the directions of the Government of Maharashtra. However, the SPA does not have the right to grant any relaxation in the development control regulations that are currently applicable to the area and is required to follow the sanctioned regional plan. Any violations in development control regulations and provision of the regional plan is liable for legal action by the District Collector, Pune. There is a risk that the Government of Maharashtra could modify/introduce regulations and policies that could adversely impact our development plan and certain benefits such as the SPA status may be withdrawn. These changes could adversely affect our business, results of operation and financial condition.

43.

We have entered into management agreements for certain of our hotels, which may not be renewed on terms acceptable to us or at all, thereby affecting our business, financial condition and results of operation. We have entered into management agreements for certain of our hotels as we do not have the expertise to operate the hotels on our own. For example, we have entered into management agreements with AAPC Singapore Pte Limited for management of Mercure Lavasa, Novotel Lavasa, Pullman Lavasa and Lavasa International Convention Centre. The term of these agreements is usually 20 years and is subject to renewal. In the event that we are unable to renew these agreements on acceptable terms or at all, our subsidiaries and associates may no longer be able to operate these hotels under the existing arrangements. If this were to occur, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected. Additionally, we may be unable to negotiate new management agreements that we may require in the future on acceptable terms or at all, which may adversely affect our business, financial conditions and results of operation.

44.

Seasonality of tourist inflows poses threat to the profitability of the proposed hospitality projects. A large number of hospitality projects are currently proposed to be developed in Lavasa. For details of these hospitality projects in Lavasa, see section titled Business Our consumption business Our hospitality consumption business on page 125. Revenues and cash flows in the tourism industry are affected by seasonality depending on the location and categories of hotels. We expect that Lavasa would attract a higher number of tourists in specific months of the year (from August to May). Accordingly, we expect that our revenues may generally be higher during these months of each fiscal year compared to the other months of the fiscal year. Any disruptions of our operation or adverse external factors affecting business during these key seasons may lead to a reduction in our revenues and may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, competition amongst the various proposed hospitality projects in Lavasa could lead to reduced profitability if hotels in Lavasa compete for the same clientele.

45.

Failure to create an adequate tourism market in Lavasa poses a threat to the viability of the proposed hospitality business. The success of the proposed hospitality projects will depend on our ability to forecast and respond to demands in the hospitality industry. More generally, the hospitality industry entails additional risks that are distinct, including the supply of hotel rooms exceeding demand, the failure to attract and retain business and leisure travellers as well as adverse international, national or regional travel or security conditions. If we fail to successfully develop and market projects in our hospitality business, we may be unable to fully develop all of our land or fully utilize development rights over such land, which could materially and

xxix

adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our failure or inability to successfully develop proposed tourism and leisure offerings may also affect the business of our hospitality segment. Any adverse developments in the growth of commercial activity in Lavasa could adversely affect the hospitality industry in Lavasa. 46. A shortage of skilled personnel could adversely affect our proposed hospitality business. The success of the proposed hospitality projects in Lavasa depends on our ability to attract and recruit talented and skilled personnel having relevant experience in the hospitality industry. We face strong competition to recruit and retain skilled and professionally qualified staff. The future performance of our proposed hospitality business will depend upon the continued services of these persons. A shortage of personnel having the requisite skills for the hospitality business could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operation. 47. The hotel industry is subject to significant regulation and any failure to comply with the relevant regulations may adversely affect our business, results of operation and financial conditions. Our hospitality business is subject to numerous laws and regulations, including those relating to the preparation and sale of food and beverages, such as health and liquor licensing laws. Our Subsidiaries or Associates engaged in the hospitality business are also subject to laws and regulations governing relationships with employees in such areas as minimum wage and maximum working hours, overtime, working conditions, hiring and terminating of employees and work permits. If we are held to be in violation of the relevant regulatory requirements, we may have to pay fines, modify or discontinue our operations, incur additional operating costs or make capital expenditures. 48. Our education business requires upfront investment and we rely upon our partners for the success of our education consumption business. We have tied up with international and national educational institutions to establish an education infrastructure traversing primary, secondary, tertiary and continuing education. Our education business requires upfront investment, for instance, for the construction of school buildings and other infrastructure. We cannot assure you that we will be able to generate the necessary funds required for our education business on acceptable terms or at all. If we are unable to raise the capital needed for our education business or experience delays in raising such funds, it may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operation. Further, we intend to have primary, secondary, tertiary, continuing and training educational institutions located at Lavasa and we will have a share in the ongoing revenue of these institutions through (i) lease premiums or (ii) potential dividend payments from our Subsidiaries or Associates. For details, see Our Business Our education consumption business on page 129. The success of our education consumption business depends upon our ability to attract suitable partners with whom we will either form Subsidiaries or Associates or our ability to attract educational institutions to whom we would lease land for them to commence their operations in Lavasa. We may be unable to identify such partners or institutions, which may adversely affect our education consumption business, thereby adversely affecting our business, financial condition and results of operation. 49. Changes in government education policies could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial conditions. Our educational facilities can be broadly categorised as primary, secondary, tertiary and continuing education. We are dependent upon maintaining compliance with the Government's education policies for our primary and secondary schools. Any changes in the Government and/or its literacy programmes and policies may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. For instance in August 2009, the Government of India enacted the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009 which mandates that any primary school not receiving any kind of aid or grants from the

xxx

government shall reserve 25% seats for students of weaker section and disadvantaged group and provide them with free and compulsory elementary education. Our educational facilities are required to comply with this and any other Governmental policies introduced in the future. There can be no assurance that such policies and/or programmes of the Government will not adversely affect our business and results of operations. 50. The success of our education business is dependent on our ability to attract suitably qualified and experienced professionals. The educational facilities present at Lavasa can be broadly categorised as primary, secondary, tertiary and continuing education. Within the formal education category are schools, degree colleges and institutes for professional courses. For more information related to our education business see Our Business on page 98. The success of the above categories within our education business segment depends upon our ability to attract suitably qualified professionals such as professors, teachers and instructors. There is significant competition for such professionals from other more established educational institutions. In addition, our remote location may make it more difficult to attract such professionals. Given our short operating history and Lavasa's location, we cannot assure you that we will be able to attract such professionals. Any failure to attract, train and retain such professionals may adversely affect the viability of our education business segment and have an adverse affect on our business, results of operation and financial condition. 51. We are required to obtain certain licenses, registrations and other approvals and renewals for our healthcare business, and the failure to obtain these approvals in a timely manner or at all may materially adversely affect our operations. We have exclusive arrangements in place with Apollo Hospitals Enterprise Limited, a recognised Indian healthcare providers, to develop a healthcare and wellness centre at Lavasa, spread across 200 acres. We are required to obtain certain licenses, registrations and other approvals and renewals for our healthcare business. If we do not receive such approvals, we may be unable to offer certain of our services or may be required to discontinue operation of our hospitals and other health and wellness centres, and this may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditions and results of operation. 52. Compliance with applicable safety, health, environmental and other governmental regulations may be costly and adversely affect our competitive position and results of operations. We are subject to central and local laws, rules and regulations governing, among other things, the: conduct of our operations; additions to facilities and services; adequacy of medical care; quality of medical equipment and services; discharge of pollutants to air and water and handling and disposal of bio-medical, radioactive and other hazardous waste; qualifications of medical and support personnel; confidentiality, maintenance and security issues associated with health-related information and medical records; and screening, stabilization and transfer of patients who have emergency medical conditions.

Safety, health and environmental laws and regulations in India are stringent and it is possible that they will become significantly more stringent in the future. If we are held to be in violation of such regulatory requirements, including conditions in the permits required for our operations, by courts or governmental agencies, we may have to pay fines, modify or discontinue our operations, incur additional operating costs or make capital expenditures. Any public interest or class action legal proceedings related to such safety, health or environmental matters could also result in the imposition of financial or other obligations on us.

xxxi

Any such costs could adversely affect our competitive position and results of operations. For more information on the regulations applicable to us, please see Regulations and Policies on page 138. 53. Our inability to keep up with rapid technological advances and meet the challenges related to our healthcare operations could adversely affect our business. The healthcare industry is subject to rapid and significant changes in technology. Our inability to keep up with rapid technological advances could have a material adverse effect on our financial results. Further, medical equipment typically needs to be replaced frequently as innovation can rapidly make existing equipment obsolete. Replacement of equipment may involve significant costs, as well as foreign currency risks, since some equipment is imported from other countries. In addition, because of the high costs of medical equipment, we may not maintain back-up equipment, and, therefore, if such equipment is damaged or breaks down, our ability to provide services to our patients may be impaired. 54. Challenges that affect the healthcare industry may also have an effect on our operations. We are impacted by the challenges currently facing the healthcare industry. We believe that the key ongoing industry-wide challenges are providing quality patient care in a competitive environment and managing costs. In addition, our business and results of operations may also be affected by other factors that affect the entire industry, including us, such as: technological and pharmaceutical improvements that increase the cost of providing, or reduce the demand for, healthcare; general economic and business conditions, both nationally and regionally; demographic changes; and changes in the distribution process or other factors that increase the cost of supplies.

In particular, the patient volumes and operating income at our hospitals are subject to economic and seasonal variations caused by a number of factors, including, but not limited to: unemployment levels; the business environment of local communities; the number of uninsured and underinsured patients in local communities; seasonal cycles of illness; climate and weather conditions; and physician recruitment, retention and attrition.

Any failure by us to effectively face these challenges could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. 55. Our location may deter patients from availing themselves of the medical facilities in the hospitals located in Lavasa. We have entered into exclusive arrangements with Apollo Hospitals Enterprise Limited for health and wellness development at Lavasa, covering hospitals, wellness research development and medical education. However, our location, at a distance of 216 kilometres from Mumbai and 42 kilometres from Pune, and the lack of an airport and railway stations at Lavasa may deter patients from availing the medical facilities in Lavasa. In addition, we do not expect to benefit from the population density of large Indian cities such as Mumbai. If the proposed hospital developed pursuant to the aforementioned arrangements is not able to maintain sufficient patient volume, our business, financial condition and results of operation may be adversely affected.

xxxii

56.

Our healthcare business is dependent on doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals and the loss of, or inability to attract or retain, such persons could adversely affect our business and results of operations. Our performance and the execution of our growth strategy depend substantially on our ability to attract and retain leading doctors and other healthcare professionals in the fields and regions relevant to our growth plans. We compete for these personnel with other healthcare services providers, including providers located overseas. In addition, our remote location may make it more difficult to attract such professionals. If we are unable to attract or retain skilled consultants, the number of our patients and our income from our health and wellness related subsidiary may decrease, as the quality of consultants is an important factor in patients' choices of hospitals. Given our short operating history and Lavasa's location, we cannot assure you that we would be able to attract and retain skilled consultants and other medical personnel. Our inability to attract and retain consultants and other medical personnel could result in a decrease in the quality of our services and we could be forced to admit fewer patients to our hospitals and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

57.

We have not obtained certain registrations in relation to protection of our intellectual property, including inter alia trademarks. We have applied for registration of trademarks of our logos and of those of our subsidiaries and associates. Until we receive registration, these trademarks enjoy limited legal protection and if our application is rejected, we may be unable to use such trademarks. Currently, we have not obtained certain registrations in connection with the protection of our intellectual property. Such failure to protect our intellectual property rights may adversely affect our competitive business position, financial condition and profitability. If any of our unregistered trademark or propriety rights are registered by a third party, we may not be able to make use of such trademark or propriety rights in connection with our business and consequently, we may be unable to capitalize on our brand recognition. Until such time that we receive registered trademarks, we can only seek relief against passing off. Accordingly, we may be required to invest significant resources in developing a new brand. Further, the intellectual property protection obtained by us may be inadequate and/or we may be unable to detect any unauthorized use and/or we may need to undertake expensive and time-consuming litigation to protect our intellectual property rights and this may have an adverse effect on our profitability. As of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we have applied for the registration of our logos and those of our Subsidiaries and Associates under different classes. Pending our application for registration, our trademarks and trade names and the trademarks and trade names of our Subsidiaries and Associates will have limited legal protection. We may therefore incur significant legal costs to protect our trademarks and trade names and the trademarks and trade names of our subsidiaries and associates from any unauthorized use, or to defend any proceedings brought by third parties who allege that our or our subsidiaries' or associates' trademarks or trade names or our use of them is in infringement of their intellectual property rights. In addition, if our application for registration of our subsidiaries and/or associates' trademarks or trade names as well as our trademarks and trade names, is not approved, we may not be able to use such trademarks or trade names in connection with our different projects, which could require us to incur additional costs and therefore adversely affect our brand name and trade name recognition.

58.

Our experience at Lavasa may not be relatable to future city development opportunities and may not help us win such opportunities. We will consider undertaking future city development projects on an opportunistic basis and we would aim to apply our Lavasa related industry and market knowledge to such opportunities. It is possible that our experience with Lavasa may not prove relatable with future city development opportunities because such projects may be significantly different from Lavasa in terms of location and natural setting, accessibility, local regulatory framework, government policies, economic drivers and customer preferences. Further, we do not have any intellectual property rights over material parts of our business and may not enjoy a competitive advantage over our competitors, who may be able to replicate or improve upon our business

xxxiii

model and if a future opportunity is located in a different state, we may be unable to leverage our competitive advantage due to lack of familiarity with local conditions. In addition, if our vision of creating a city with a diversified economy is not achieved, our brand and image will suffer and, accordingly, we may not have a competitive advantage with respect to winning future projects. If Lavasa does not prove to be relatable to future city development opportunities or if we are unsuccessful in leveraging our Lavasa experience in terms of winning potential opportunities, our results of operations would be adversely affected. 59. We may not be able to ensure that we are able to participate in the development of future cities along with our Promoters HCC and/or HREL, and/or their affiliates. Further, our Promoters, HCC and/or HREL may have a conflict of interest with us in connection with future city development opportunities. We may consider undertaking future integrated city projects on an opportunistic basis and applying our Lavasa related industry and market knowledge and/or intellectual property to such opportunities. However, our Promoters HCC and HREL may either themselves or through their respective subsidiaries and affiliates also seek to develop such future cities. HREL is a real estate development company and HCC and HREL both have subsidiaries and affiliates whose main objects permit them to undertake such future city development projects. Pursuant to a consultancy agreement dated September 9, 2010 with our Company, HCC and HREL have agreed that the intellectual property, whether registered or not, pertaining to the development, operations, management, planning and maintenance of any future new cities shall vest exclusively with us. If we propose to develop such new cities either by itself or through any of our subsidiaries, neither HCC, HREL or any of their affiliates shall develop such a new city. In the event that the development of any such new city is not proposed to be carried out by us or any of our subsidiaries, HCC and/or HREL have agreed to appoint us as a consultant to HCC, HREL, and/or any of their respective affiliates which propose to undertake to develop such new cities. The consummation of any such future transactions would however be subject to the execution of additional agreements as may be mutually agreed by us and the entities undertaking such city development at the appropriate point of time. As such, if these additional agreements are not executed in a timely manner or at all, we may not be able to ensure that the rights as contemplated in the consultancy agreement do in fact accrue to us. Further, in light of the potential conflict of interests between HCC/HREL/their affiliates and our Company, you will not have the opportunity to evaluate the manner in which these conflicts, if any, are resolved. For more information on these potential conflicts of interest, please see Related Party Transactions on page 216. 60. We receive a high amount of annual rainfall, which may lead to flooding, thereby causing a halt in construction and development activities, which may delay the completion of Lavasa. Further, the high annual rainfall may also deter potential residents from living in Lavasa. Lavasa normally receives a high amount of annual rainfall, especially in the monsoon months of June to September. In particular, Dhamanohol, on account of its location and elevation, receives more rainfall than the other planned towns in Lavasa. A high amount of rainfall may lead to floods which may delay and disrupt the construction/development activities in Lavasa, thereby adversely affecting our business, financial condition and results of operation. Further, potential residents may be deterred from living in Lavasa on account of the high amount of rainfall received in the monsoon months, which may lead to failure of our vision to have a strong economy at Lavasa and adversely affect our business plans. 61. Certain of our Group Companies have incurred losses or have had negative net worth in the three FYs ended March 31, 2010. We have 26 Group Companies and, as set forth below, 18 of our Group Companies have incurred losses or have had negative net worth during the three FYs ended March 31, 2008, March 31, 2009 and March 31,

xxxiv

2010 (as per their respective standalone financial statements). They may continue to incur losses in future periods, which may have an adverse effect on our results of operations. The details of the Group Companies which have incurred losses during the three FYs ended March 31, 2008, March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2010 is provided in the following table: (` in Million) Profit/(Loss) after tax for the year ended FY 2010 FY 2009 FY 2008 (7.83) 0.00 0.00 (46.55) (39.00) (127.53) (75.67) (1.82) (104.54) (103.20) (8.73) (25.19) (8,460) (7,470) (0.24) (0.26) (0.25) (0.32) 0.67 (0.01) (16.36) (0.03) (0.03) (14.99) (15,220) (10,576) (0.28) (0.22) (0.96) (0.75) 0.65 (2.69) (0.66) (2.57) (0.35) (0.81) (0.65) (0.17) (0.95) -

Our Promoters have given corporate guarantees in relation to certain debt facilities provided to us, which if revoked may require alternative guarantees, repayment of amounts due or termination of the facilities. Our Promoters have given corporate guarantees in relation to certain debt facilities availed by us aggregating to approximately ` 4,915.77 million as of June 30, 2010. In the event that any of the guarantees are revoked, the lenders for such facilities may require alternate guarantees, repayment of amounts outstanding under such facilities, or even terminate such facilities. We may not be successful in procuring guarantees satisfactory to the lenders, and as a result may need to repay outstanding amounts under such facilities or seek additional sources of capital, which could affect our financial condition and cash flows.

63.

Our business is capital intensive and our success depends upon our ability to find funding on acceptable terms. Our business is highly capital intensive, requiring substantial capital to develop and market Lavasa. Among

xxxv

other things, working capital is required to finance the purchase of materials and engineering and construction work on our projects. The actual amount and timing of our future capital requirements may differ from estimates as a result of, among other things, unforeseen delays or cost overruns in developing our projects, unanticipated expenses, regulatory changes and engineering design changes. To the extent our capital expenditure requirements exceed our available resources, we will be required to seek additional debt or equity financing. Additional debt financing could increase our interest cost and require us to comply with additional restrictive covenants in our financing agreements. Additional equity financing could dilute our earnings per share and the value of your investment in our Equity Shares could be adversely affected. Our ability to obtain additional financing on favourable commercial terms, if at all, will depend on a number of factors, including: our future financial condition, results of operations and cash flows; the amount and terms of our existing indebtedness; general market conditions for financing activities by integrated city development companies; and economic, political and other conditions in the markets where we operate.

Additionally, stricter provisioning and risk weightage norms imposed by the RBI in relation to real estate loans by banks and housing finance companies could reduce the attractiveness and availability of property or developer financing and the RBI or the Government of India may take further measures designed to reduce or have the effect of reducing credit to the real estate sector. If the demand for, or supply of, real estate financing at attractive rates or terms were to diminish or cease to exist our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. Further, a development of the scale of Lavasa requires large upfront investments and includes long periods of time before revenues are realized. Our revenue realisation is on a phased manner. However, significant capital expenditure is expected to be incurred in the initial years, largely on account of purchase of land and infrastructure development. As there are gaps in time between our initial investments in projects and revenue recognition, our funding requirements are substantial. The financing is planned through multiple sources including, but not limited to, equity, term loans, securitized debt, quasi-equity, funding, etc. We cannot assure you that we will be able to raise additional financing on acceptable terms in a timely manner or at all. Our failure to renew existing funding or to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms and in a timely manner could materially and adversely impact our planned capital expenditure, which, in turn, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. 64. We recognise revenue on the percentage of completion method on the basis of our management's estimates of the project cost, which may prove to be inaccurate. We recognise the revenue from our construction projects on the percentage completion method of accounting in accordance with Indian GAAP. Revenue from such sale of under-construction properties is recognised on the basis of the percentage of completion method by reference to the physical percentage of the work completed, as certified by our technical personnel, in relation to a contract or a group of contracts within a project. This revenue recognition policy is applicable to developments for which we have entered into an agreement prior to completion of construction. The revision to projected costs is recognised in the financial statements of the period/year in which such revisions are determined and this may lead to fluctuations in our revenues in that accounting period/year. Amounts received from customers are accounted as advances from customers as part of the current liabilities till the sale agreement executed. In the event of any change in law or Indian GAAP, which results in a change to the method of revenue recognition, the financial results of our operations may be adversely affected. 65. We are subject to restrictive covenants in debt facilities provided to us by our lenders which may limit our strategic decisions and operations and thereby potentially harming our results of operations.

xxxvi

Our consolidated debt June 30, 2010, March 31, 2010, March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008 was ` 18,532.10 million, ` 18,235.96 million, ` 9,797.82 million and ` 4,970.00 million respectively. For more information related to our loan arrangements, please see Financial Indebtedness on page 309. There are restrictive covenants in certain of the agreements we have entered into with banks and financial institutions for secured loans amounting to ` 17,531.10 million as of June 30, 2010. These restrictive covenants require us to obtain either the prior permission of such banks or financial institutions or require us to inform them of various activities, including, among others, changes in our development plan, alteration of our capital structure, creating any security interest with respect to any property raising of fresh capital or debt, undertaking new projects or undertaking any merger, amalgamation, restructuring or change in management and further permit the concerned lenders to seek early repayments of, or recall the said loans. Although we have received consents from all our lenders for this Issue, these restrictive covenants may affect some of the rights of our shareholders, including receiving dividends. Any additional financing that we require to fund our capital expenditure, if met by way of additional debt financing, may place restrictions on us which may, among other things, increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions; limit our ability to pursue our growth plans; require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to make payments on our debt, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund capital expenditures, meet working capital requirements and use for other general corporate purposes; and limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to changes in our business and our industry, either through the imposition of restrictive financial or operational covenants or otherwise. 66. Our Promoters may dilute their holding in us. Under certain of our loan agreements with lenders, our Promoters are required to maintain 51% shareholding in us. However, we may re-negotiate these loan agreements to allow us to reduce the Promoters shareholding. We cannot assure you that our Promoters would continue to have majority shareholding in us and would continue to exercise any control over our affairs. Any reduction in control over our affairs by our Promoters may adversely affect our reputation and business, results of operation and financial condition. 67. Labour unrest, protest or strikes can bring operations to a standstill and affect market sentiments. Our manpower requirements are very large and includes 447 permanent employees (at a stand-alone level) and 5,536 contract labourers as of June 30, 2010. Any unrest in the workforce, protests or strikes by our employees or labour from sub-contractors can bring the operations of the project to a standstill. In the event of a labour dispute, if our contractors are unable to successfully negotiate with workmen, it could result in work stoppages or increased operating costs as a result of higher than anticipated wages or benefits. This would have a significant impact on customer sentiment, and also impact the market perception and brand value of the development. Additionally, given Lavasa's locations, we may find it difficult to find labour willing to move to Lavasa or have to incur inordinate costs for such labour which may delay the progress of our developments or increase our costs excessively. We enter into contracts with independent contractors to complete specified assignments and these contractors are required to source the labour necessary to complete such assignments. Further, our results of operations could be adversely affected by any statutory and/or regulatory requirements pertaining to labour, strikes, work stoppages or increased wage demands by our employees and/or contract labour availed by us or any other kind of disputes with our employees and/or contract labour availed by us. 68. Increased raw material, labour and other costs, may adversely affect our results of operation and feasibility of the Lavasa development. As there is a significant amount of construction activity in Lavasa planned in the short and medium term, our business would be affected by the availability cost and quality of raw materials and labour. The prices and supply of raw materials and labour depend on factors not under our control, including general

xxxvii

economic conditions, competition, production levels, transportation costs and import duties. In particular, on account of Lavasa's location, transportation and supply costs of labour and raw materials to Lavasa are high. Additionally, inflation would play a critical role in the cost of construction, and could directly impact the profitability of the development and the peak funding requirements. We cannot assure you that we will be able to procure quality raw materials at competitive prices or at all which may adversely affect our business. In addition, during periods of significant increases in the price of building materials, we may not be able to pass price increases through to our customers, which could reduce or eliminate our profits with respect to such development. Our principal raw materials include steel and cement. Any increase in the costs of our principal raw materials may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operation. 69. The successful completion of Lavasa requires the services of third parties, including service providers, suppliers and independent contractors. The failure of a third party to perform its obligations could impose additional financial and performance obligations resulting in reduced profits or, in some cases, significant losses. The successful completion of Lavasa requires the services of third parties including architects, engineers, contractors and suppliers of labour and materials. The timing and quality of construction of the various projects within Lavasa depends on the availability and skill of these third parties, as well as contingencies affecting them, including labour and raw material shortages and industrial action such as strikes and lockouts. We may not be able to identify appropriately experienced third parties and cannot assure you that skilled third parties will continue to be available at reasonable rates and in the areas in which we undertake our projects, or at all. As a result, we may be required to make additional investments or provide additional services to ensure the adequate performance and delivery of contracted services. Any consequent delay in project execution could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We contract with independent contractors for construction. If a contractor fails to perform its obligations satisfactorily with regard to a project, we may be unable to develop the project within the intended timeframe, at the intended cost, or at all. In such circumstance, we may be required to incur additional cost or time to develop the property to the appropriate standard of quality and in a manner consistent with our development objective, which could result in reduced profits or in some cases, significant losses. We may also not be able to recover compensation for any resulting defective works or materials. We cannot assure you that the services rendered by any of our independent construction contractors will always be satisfactory or match our requirements for quality. 70. We rely on our partners for the success of our businesses being operated by our subsidiaries and associates. We have entered into tie-ups with companies and other entities and, in many instances, have formed subsidiaries or associates with these companies. Arrangements governing our subsidiaries and associates may provide us with only partial control over the operations of the subsidiary or associate under certain circumstances. Where we are a minority participant in an associate, the partner may make significant decisions without our consent that affect our interests, such as delaying project execution timetables. In addition, it may be necessary for us to obtain consent from a partner before we can cause the subsidiary or associate to distribute profits to us or there may be disputes between us and our partners. These and other factors may cause our partners to act in a way contrary or conflicting to our interests, or otherwise be unwilling to fulfil their obligations under our arrangements, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation. Further, even when our arrangements provide us with majority control in our subsidiaries, we may disagree with our partners on key issues, which may affect the overall success of the relevant subsidiary. Further, certain of our arrangements with our partners are subject to us entering into definitive agreements with them, such as our arrangements with Manchester City Football Club Limited, Hockey Australia, Birla Edutech Limited and Rachvan Singh and Associates. We may be unable to enter into such definitive

xxxviii

agreements and even if we are successful in entering into definitive arrangements such arrangements may be adverse as compared to terms in the non-binding term sheets. 71. Delays in the completion of our development or projects or complying with our construction contract schedules may impact our business. Property developments typically require substantial capital outlay during the construction period which may take an extended period of time to complete, and before a potential return can be generated. The time and costs required to complete a property development may be subject to substantial increases due to many factors, including shortages of, or price increases with respect to, construction materials (which may prove defective), equipment, technical skills and labor, purchase of land, construction delays, unanticipated cost increases, changes in the regulatory environment, adverse weather conditions, third party performance risks, environmental risks, changes in market conditions, delays in obtaining the requisite approvals and permits from the relevant authorities and other unforeseeable problems and circumstances. Any of these factors may lead to delays in, or prevent the completion of, a project and result in costs substantially exceeding those originally budgeted for. The cost overruns may not be adequately compensated by contractual indemnities, which may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, any delays in completing our projects as scheduled could result in dissatisfaction among our customers, resulting in negative publicity and lack of confidence among investors and potential residents. Additionally, we may not achieve the economic benefits expected of our development and failure to obtain expected economic benefits could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In the event there are any delays in the completion of our development our business, financial condition and results of operations would be adversely impacted. 72. Our operations and our work force may be exposed to various hazards and we may be exposed to risks arising from construction related activities that could result in material liabilities, increased expenses and diminished revenues. There are certain unanticipated or unforeseen risks that may arise in the course of property development due to adverse weather and geological conditions such as storm, hurricane, lightning, flood, landslide and earthquake. Additionally, our operations may be subject to hazards inherent in providing architectural and construction services, such as risk of equipment failure, impact from falling objects, collision, work accidents, fire or explosion, including hazards that may cause injury and loss of life, severe damage to and destruction of property and equipment, and environmental damage. 73. Our insurance may be insufficient to cover liabilities relating to inclement weather and natural disasters and risks that may cause significant interruption of operations. Procurement and construction works carried out in respect of our projects involve a number of hazards including earthquakes, flooding, tsunamis and landslides. While we insure against loss due to the occurrence of accidents in the conduct of our business, subject to, in our view, customary exclusions and deductibles, there can be no assurance that all risks are adequately insured against, that a particular claim will be paid or that we will be able to procure adequate insurance coverage at commercially reasonable rates in the future. Natural disasters in the future may cause significant interruption to our operations, disruption to our properties and damage to the environment that could have a material adverse impact on us. Additionally, we may not be able to renew insurance policies in a timely manner or at all and/or may be required to make higher premium payments. 74. Some of our subsidiaries and associates are likely to require a considerable amount of time before they can break even. Some of our business lines will be carried out by our subsidiaries and associates. These companies have a fairly large gestation cycle, before they break even and start yielding returns on the equity stake held by us. In particular, to our knowledge, it generally takes healthcare companies between five to seven years and infrastructure companies about eight to 10 years to commence making profits from their initial operations.

xxxix

In this long gestation cycle, we may need to use our working capital to fund the growth of the operations of our subsidiaries and associates, which may lead to a shortage of funds for our general corporate and working capital purposes. We may also require additional financing during this gestation period which may be unable to procure on acceptable terms or at all. Further, our partners in these subsidiaries and associates may be unwilling or unable to endure a long gestation period which would impact their appetite to invest in such projects. We may also face pressures from equity shareholders during the gestation cycle. All of these events may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operation. 75. We may encounter problems with our subsidiaries and associates that may adversely affect our business. We have, and expect in the future to have, interests in subsidiaries and associates in connection with our development plans for Lavasa. If there are disagreements between us and our partners regarding our business and operations of our subsidiaries and associates, we cannot assure you that we will be able to resolve them in a manner that will be in our best interests or which will maintain our business relationship with our partners. Over time, we expect to hold minority stakes in certain of our associates and subsidiaries and, accordingly, if for whatever reason a partner in our associate or subsidiary chooses to forego investing in or maintaining the associate or subsidiary, we may not be in a position to require investments by them or the maintenance of certain standards. In addition, our partners may (i) have economic or business interests or goals that are inconsistent with ours; (ii) take actions contrary to our instructions, requests, policies or objectives; (iii) be unable or unwilling to fulfil their obligations; (iv) have financial difficulties; or (v) have disputes with us as to the scope of their responsibilities and obligations. Any of these and other factors may materially and adversely affect our business relationships with our partners, which may in turn materially and adversely affect the performance of our subsidiaries and associates, which may in turn materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. 76. Restrictions on foreign investment in the real estate sector may hamper our ability to raise additional capital. The Consolidated FDI Policy (the Policy) imposes certain conditions on investment in real estate sector in India. It permits foreign direct investment of up to 100% subject to the project fulfilling certain specified conditions. The Policy, however, is subject to differing interpretations. For example, foreign direct investment is subject to the condition that for joint ventures with Indian partners the minimum capitalisation should be US$ 5 million. However, there is some ambiguity on what is meant by minimum capitalisation. In addition, although the Policy stipulates that funds have to be brought in within six months of commencement of business of the Company, the term commencement of business of the Company has not been defined or explained and may also be subject to differing interpretations. There can be no assurance as to the position the Government of India will take in interpreting the provisions of the Policy. Further, while the Government of India has permitted FDI of up to 100% without prior regulatory approval in townships, housing, built-up infrastructure and construction and development projects, the same is subjects such investment to certain restrictions. Our Companys inability to raise additional capital as a result of these and other restrictions may adversely affect the business and prospects of our Company. Further, under the foreign exchange regulations currently in force in India, transfers of shares between nonresidents and residents are freely permitted (subject to certain restrictions) if they comply with the pricing guidelines and reporting requirements specified by the RBI. If the transfer of shares is not in compliance with such pricing guidelines or reporting requirements or fall under any of the exceptions referred to above, then the prior approval of the RBI will be required. Additionally, shareholders who seek to convert the Rupee proceeds from a sale of shares in India into foreign currency and repatriate that foreign currency from India will require a no objection/ tax clearance certificate from the income tax authority. We cannot assure investors that any required approval from the RBI or any other Government agency can be obtained on any particular terms or at all.

77.

If we fail to comply with existing or future environmental, employee-related or health and safety laws and regulations or any other local laws or regulations, our business and results of operations may be adversely affected. In the normal course of our business operations, we are required to comply with various laws and regulations relating to the environment. Although we believe that we comply in all material respects with all applicable statutes and with the regulations, we may incur substantial costs to comply with requirements of environmental laws and regulations in the future. Environmental laws in India have been increasing in stringency and it is possible that they will become significantly more stringent in the future. These regulations may require us to investigate and clean-up hazardous or toxic substances and materials and be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of such substances and materials. Such liability may be imposed irrespective of whether we knew of, or were responsible for, any environmental damage or pollution or the presence of such substances and materials. The cost of investigation, remediation or removal of these substances and materials may be substantial. Environmental laws may also impose compliance obligations on owners and operators of property with respect to the management of hazardous materials and other regulated substances. Failure to comply with these laws can result in penalties or other sanctions and we cannot assure you that we will be at all times in full compliance with these regulatory requirements. In addition, future laws, ordinances or regulations and future interpretations of existing laws, ordinances or regulations may impose additional environmental liability. We may therefore be subject to costs, liabilities or penalties relating to environmental matters which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Some parts of the land surrounding the notified area where Lavasa is being developed are categorised as forest land. Any development on such land requires us to obtain certain approvals and permission from the relevant governmental authorities. For example, we have obtained permission from the MoEF for the construction of a tunnel through forest land at Mugaon. There may be instances in the future that require us to undertake development on the forest land. In the event we are unable to obtain relevant approvals or permissions, we may not be able to execute our plans, which we have an adverse impact on our business operations. If any part/aspect of Lavasa is shut down, we will continue to incur costs in complying with regulations, appealing any decision to stop construction, continuing to pay labour and other costs which continue even if construction has ceased. As a result, our overall operating expenses may increase, adversely affecting our business and results of operations. We are also subject to health and safety laws and regulations as well as laws and regulations governing our relationship with our employees in areas such as minimum wages, maximum working hours, overtime, working conditions, hiring and terminating employees, contract labour and work permits. The success of our strategy to modernise and optimise our existing operations is contingent upon, among other factors, receipt of all required licenses, permits and authorisations, including local land use permits, building and zoning permits, environmental, and health and safety permits. As a result of change in laws or regulations in India, we may incur significant costs in order to maintain compliance with such laws and regulations and this may delay or prevent project completion. Our operations are subject to various regulatory requirements. There can be no assurance that a failure to comply with any such regulations would not result in penalties, revocation of permits or licenses for our operations or litigation that may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. With increasing awareness and pressure for ecological protection, several regulatory reforms may be introduced in the future, directed towards making environmental protection more stringent. These could lead to restrictions on the developable area or the nature of development, which may affect our development plan. For details of the environmental laws and policies relevant to our business, see Regulations and Policies on page 138.

78.

Our ability to receive dividends and/or other payments from our Subsidiaries and Associates may be limited.

xli

We rely upon dividends and other payments from our Subsidiaries and Associates to generate the funds necessary to meet its obligations under our financing arrangements. Our Subsidiaries and Associates are legally distinct from us and have no obligation to pay amounts to us with respect to our obligations, or to make funds available to us for payments in relation to our obligations. Our Subsidiaries and Associates do not guarantee our obligations. The ability of our Subsidiaries and Associates to make such payments to us will be subject to, among other things, the availability of funds, the terms of each Subsidiaries and each Associates indebtedness and applicable local laws. 79. Improper or questionable conduct or practices may delay the development of Lavasa and affect the results of our operations. The construction and real estate industries are not immune to the risks of improper or questionable practices. Large construction projects in all parts of the world provide opportunities for corruption. Such corruption may include bribery, deliberate poor workmanship or the deliberate supply of low quality materials. If we, or any other person involved in Lavasa is the victim of or involved in any such corruption, our ability to complete the various business segments in Lavasa as planned may be disrupted thereby materially affecting our business, financial condition and results of operations. 80. Our success depends largely upon our highly-skilled professionals and our ability to attract and retain these professionals. Our ability to successfully complete projects and to attract new clients depends largely on our ability to attract, train, motivate and retain highly-skilled professionals, particularly project managers and other professionals, including engineers, architects and design consultants and skilled workers. If we cannot hire and retain highly-skilled personnel, our ability to execute new projects and to continue to expand our business, will be impaired and consequently, our revenues could decline. We may not be able to re-deploy and retrain our professionals to keep pace with continuing changes in technology, evolving standards and changing needs of our clients. As a result of the recent growth in the construction industry in India and the expected future growth, the demand for highly-skilled professionals and workers has significantly increased in recent years. In addition, a significant increase in the wages paid by competing employers could result in a reduction of our skilled workforce, increases in the wage rates that we pay or both. If we are unable to attract and retain professionals and skilled workers, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected. 81. We have entered into related party transactions but may have been able to obtain more favourable terms if such transactions had been entered into with unrelated parties. We have entered into, and may in the future enter into, certain transactions with our Promoters and Promoter Group companies, Group Companies, Subsidiaries, Associates and Directors. For details of our related party transactions, please see Related Party Transactions page 216. These transactions were primarily made in the ordinary course of business but we may have been able to obtain more favourable terms had such transactions been entered into with unrelated parties. It is likely that we will continue to enter into further related party transactions in the future. 82. Our Promoters will continue to retain majority control in us after the Issue, which will enable them to control our business, influence the material policies and outcome of matters submitted to shareholders for approval in circumstances where Promoters' interests may not align with or may be adverse to other shareholders' or our interests. Upon completion of the Issue, our Promoters will beneficially own []% of our post-Issue equity share capital. As a result, our Promoters will have the ability to exercise significant influence our business, policies and affairs including matters requiring shareholders' approval, including approval of mergers, strategic acquisitions or joint ventures or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, the timing and distribution of dividends and the election or termination of appointment of our officers and Directors, policies for lending, investment and capital expenditures. This control could delay, defer or prevent a

xlii

change in control of us, impede a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving us, without the support of our Promoters, or discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us even if it is in our best interest. In addition, for so long as our Promoters continue to exercise significant control over us, they may influence our material policies in a manner that could conflict with the interests of our other shareholders. Our Promoters may have interests that are adverse to the interests of our other shareholders and may take positions with which our other shareholders do not agree. Any of the foregoing factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. 83. Our Promoters and Directors may have interests in us other than reimbursement of expenses incurred or normal remuneration or benefits. Our Promoters are interested in us to the extent of any transactions entered into or their shareholding and dividend entitlement in us. Our Directors are also interested in us to the extent of remuneration paid to them for services rendered as our Directors and reimbursement of expenses payable to them. Our Directors may also be interested to the extent of any transaction entered into by us with any other company or firm in which they are directors or partners. For further information, please see Our Management and Our Promoter and Promoter Group on pages 157 and 195 respectively. 84. Our manager, Rajgopal Nogja, is a permanent employee of our Promoter, HCC. All of our key managerial personnel are in our permanent employment. However, our manager, Rajgopal Nogja, is employed and is paid remuneration by our Promoter, HCC. By virtue of his relationship with us and our Promoter, HCC, there may be situations of inherent potential conflicts of interests between us and our Promoter, HCC. Further, our growth and future success is influenced, in part, by our continued relationship with our Promoter, HCC. If we lose our relationship with our Promoter, HCC, for any reason, we may also lose the services of Rajgopal Nogja. As such our business and growth prospects may decline and our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected. 85. We do not own our registered office and other premises from which we operate. We do not own the premises at which our registered office is located in Mumbai. Pursuant to a letter dated November 2, 2009, our Promoter, HCC has permitted us to share the premises located at 247 Park licensed to our Promoter HCC by Vikhroli Corporate Park Private Limited and pay Vikhroli Corporate Park ` 14.57 million annually for the use of such premises. If there is any change in the control of our Company or if we cease to be a subsidiary of HCC, we may no longer be entitled to make use of the premises in which our Registered Office is currently situated. 86. We have availed unsecured loans which, subject to the terms and conditions of relevant agreements, may be recalled at any time. Further, our Group Companies and/or associates may have availed of unsecured loans which can be recalled by the relevant lenders at any time. We have availed unsecured loans which subject to the terms and conditions of relevant agreements may be recalled at any time. For further details please see Financial Statements on page 218. In the event the aforementioned loans are recalled by the lenders our financial condition and profitability could be adversely affected. Further, our Group Companies and/or associates may have availed of unsecured loans which could be recalled by the relevant lenders at any time, which in turn could adversely affect the value of our investments or the investments of our Promoter in such Group Companies and/or associates, as the case may be. 87. We have experienced negative cash flows in prior periods. Any negative cash flows in the future would adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

xliii

We have in the past, and may in the future, experience negative cash flows. For further details in connection with negative cash flows, please see Financial Statements on page 218. Negative cash flows over extended periods, or significant negative cash flows in the short term, could materially impact our ability to operate our business and implement our growth plans. As a result, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. 88. Our ability to pay dividends in the future will depend upon future earnings, financial condition, cash flows, working capital requirements and capital expenditures. The amount of future dividend payments, if any, will depend upon our future earnings, financial condition, cash flows, working capital requirements, terms and conditions of our indebtedness and capital expenditures. There can be no assurance that we will be able to pay dividends in the future. External Risks 89. Our performance and growth are dependent on the performance of the Indian economy and, more generally, the global economy. A protracted global recession would have a material adverse effect on us. Our activities and results are affected by international, national and regional economic conditions. Starting in September 2008, a steep downturn in the global economy, sparked by uncertainty in credit markets and deteriorating consumer confidence, has sharply reduced global growth, credit and risk appetite. If global macroeconomic conditions deteriorate, due to, for instance, the recent economic turmoil caused by fears related to the ability of European sovereign debt issuers to repay their debt or refinance it at acceptable rates, our outlook and growth prospects will weaken and financial weakness among our potential customers and partners may exacerbate the negative trend in market conditions, which could have a material adverse effect on demand for our projects and on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The economy could also be adversely affected by various factors such as political or regulatory action, including adverse changes in liberalisation policies, social disturbances, terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war, natural calamities, changes in interest rates, commodity and energy prices and various other factors. General economic conditions may affect the financial stability of our customers and prospective customers and/or the demand for our residential and commercial real estate. Any further slowdown in either the Indian economy or the global economy may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and the price of our Equity Shares. 90. Rights of shareholders under Indian law may be more limited than under the laws of other jurisdictions and investors may have more difficulty in asserting their rights under Indian law than under the laws of other countries or jurisdictions. Our Articles of Association and Indian law govern our corporate affairs. Legal principles related to these matters and the validity of corporate procedures, directors fiduciary duties and liabilities and shareholders' rights may differ from those that would apply to a company in another jurisdiction. Shareholders rights under Indian law may not be as extensive as shareholders rights under the laws of other countries or jurisdictions. Investors may have more difficulty in asserting their rights under Indian law than under the laws of other countries or jurisdictions. 91. Natural disasters, terrorist attacks, civil disturbances, regional conflicts and other acts of violence in India and abroad may disrupt or otherwise adversely affect the Indian economy, the health of which our business depends on. The occurrence of natural disasters, including hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, fires, explosions, pandemic diseases, the H1N1 swine flu virus, and man-made disasters, including acts of terrorism and military actions, could adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition. Although constructed and maintained to withstand certain natural events, our developments and projects in Lavasa

xliv

may not survive such catastrophic events, or may experience substantial damage. This may result in losses with regard to our works in progress and expose us to claims from our customers. Certain events that are beyond our control, such as terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war, may adversely affect worldwide financial markets and could potentially lead to a severe economic recession, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, and more generally, any of these events could lower confidence in India's economy. Southern Asia has, from time to time, experienced instances of civil unrest and political tensions and hostilities among neighbouring countries. Political tensions could create a perception that there is a risk of disruption of services provided by India-based companies, which could have an adverse effect on our business, future financial performance and price of our Equity Shares. Furthermore, if India were to become engaged in armed hostilities, particularly hostilities that are protracted or involve the threat or use of nuclear weapons, our operations might be significantly affected. India has from time to time experienced social and civil unrest and hostilities, including riots, regional conflicts and other acts of violence. Events of this nature in the future could have a material adverse effect on our ability to develop our business. As a result, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected. 92. Political instability or a change in economic liberalisation and deregulation policies could seriously harm business and economic conditions in India generally and our business in particular. The Government of India has traditionally exercised and continues to exercise influence over many aspects of the economy. Our business and the market price and liquidity of our Equity Shares may be affected by interest rates, changes in Government policy, taxation, social and civil unrest and other political, economic or other developments in or affecting India. The Government of India has in recent years sought to implement economic reforms and the current government has implemented policies and undertaken initiatives that continue the economic liberalisation policies pursued by previous governments. There can be no assurance that liberalisation policies will continue in the future. The rate of economic liberalisation could change, and specific laws and policies affecting the real estate sector, foreign investment and other matters affecting investment in our securities could change as well. Any significant change in such liberalisation and deregulation policies could adversely affect business and economic conditions in India, generally, and our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations, in particular. 93. Any downgrading of India's debt rating by an international rating agency could have a negative impact on our business. Any adverse revision to the rating of India's domestic or international debt by international rating agencies may adversely impact our ability to raise additional financing and the interest rates and other commercial terms at which such funding is available. This could have an adverse effect on our business and future financial performance, our ability to obtain financing for capital expenditures and the trading price of our Equity Shares. 94. A decline in India's foreign exchange reserves may affect liquidity and interest rates in the Indian economy, which may adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition. According to an annual report released by the RBI, India's foreign exchange reserves totalled US$ 226.10 billion as of June 2009. A decline in this reserve could impact the valuation of the local currency and could result in reduced liquidity and higher interest rates which may adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition and the market price of our Equity Shares. 95. An outbreak of an infectious disease or any other serious public health concerns could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. The outbreak of an infectious disease or any other serious public health concern such as swine influenza around the world could have a negative impact on economies, financial markets and business activities worldwide, which could have a material adverse effect on our business. Although, we have not been adversely affected by such outbreaks, we can give no assurance that a future outbreak of an infectious

xlv

disease among humans or animals or any other serious public health concern will not adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations or damage our brand. 96. Significant differences exist between Indian GAAP and other accounting principles, such as IFRS, which may be material to investors' assessments of our financial condition. Our financial statements, including the financial statements provided in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, are prepared in accordance with Indian GAAP. We have not attempted to quantify the impact of IFRS on the financial data included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, nor do we provide a reconciliation of our financial statements to those of IFRS. IFRS differs in significant respects from Indian GAAP. For details, see section titled Presentation of Financial and Other Information. Accordingly, the degree to which the Indian GAAP financial statements included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus will provide meaningful information is entirely dependent on the reader's level of familiarity with Indian accounting practices. Any reliance by persons not familiar with Indian accounting practices on the financial disclosures presented in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus should accordingly be limited. ICAI, the accounting body that regulates the accounting firms in India, has announced a road map for the adoption of, and convergence with, the International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS, pursuant to which all companies in India, such as our Company, will be required to prepare their annual and interim financial statements under IFRS, based on certain criteria beginning with fiscal period commencing April 1, 2011 in three phases. Based on the said criteria, our Company is required to adopt IFRS from the fiscal year beginning April 2013. Because there is significant lack of clarity on the adoption of and convergence with IFRS and there is not yet a significant body of established practice on which to draw in forming judgments regarding its implementation and application, we have not determined with any degree of certainty the impact that such adoption will have on our financial reporting. There can be no assurance that our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or changes in shareholders' equity will not appear materially worse under IFRS than under Indian GAAP. As we transition to IFRS reporting, we may encounter difficulties in the ongoing process of implementing and enhancing our management information systems. There can be no assurance that our adoption of IFRS will not adversely affect our reported results of operations or financial condition could have a material adverse effect on our stock price. 97. The market value of an investor's investment may fluctuate due to the volatility of the Indian securities markets. Stock exchanges in India have in the past experienced substantial fluctuations in the prices of listed securities. The SENSEX, BSE's benchmark index, reduced by more than 50%, representing approximately 10,700 points, in the calendar year 2008 and subsequently increased by more than 75%, representing approximately 7,561 points in the calendar 2009. The stock exchanges in India, in line with global developments, have witnessed substantial volatility in 2008 and 2009. The year to date percentage increase in Sensex as of September 3, 2010 stood at 3.77%, as compared to a decrease of 1.29% for Dow Jones Industrial Average, a decrease of 3.90% for Hang Seng Index, and an increase of 3.73% for Strait Times Index (Singapore). However, as of September 3, 2010, 200 day volatility of the Sensex as per Bloomberg data stood at a comparable figure of 16.15 relative to 17.54 for Dow Jones Industrial Average, 19.74 for the Hang Seng Index and 14.15 for Strait Times Index (Singapore). The Stock Exchanges have experienced temporary exchange closures, broker defaults, settlement delays and strikes by brokerage firm employees. In addition, the governing bodies of the Stock Exchanges have from time to time imposed restrictions on trading in certain securities, limitations on price movements and margin requirements. Furthermore, from time to time, disputes have occurred between listed companies and stock exchanges and other regulatory bodies, which in some cases may have had a negative effect on market sentiment. 98. A third party could be prevented from acquiring control of us because of the anti-takeover provisions under Indian law.

xlvi

There are provisions in Indian law that may delay, deter or prevent a future takeover or change in control of our Company. These provisions may discourage or prevent certain types of transactions involving actual or threatened change in control of us. Under the takeover regulations an acquirer has been defined as any person who, directly or indirectly, acquires or agrees to acquire shares or voting rights or control over a company, whether individually or acting in concert with others. Although these provisions have been formulated to ensure that interests of investors/shareholders are protected, these provisions may also discourage a third party from attempting to take control of our Company. Consequently, even if a potential takeover of our Company would result in the purchase of the Equity Shares at a premium to their market price or would otherwise be beneficial to our stakeholders, it is possible that such a takeover would not be attempted or consummated because of Indian takeover regulations. 99. We may not be able to deploy all or a part of the proceeds of the Issue earmarked for the purchase of land as detailed in the section Objects of the Issue. The deployment of funds as described in the section Objects of the Issue" on page 52 is at the discretion of our board of directors, though it is subject to monitoring by an independent agency. Our Company intends to deploy the proceeds of the Issue to purchase land through land aggregators and/or otherwise. To further facilitate the process of purchase land, our Company has entered into (a) a MoU dated August 12, 2010 with M/s. Swastik Enterprises in connection with the purchase of an aggregate of approximately 459.82 acres of land, (b) a MoU dated August 10, 2010 with M/s. Sumeet Land Developers in connection with the purchase of an aggregate of approximately 2,436 acres of land, (c) a MoU dated August 12, 2010 with M/s. Siddhivinayak Enterprises in connection with the purchase of an aggregate of approximately 782.22 acres of land and (d) a MoU dated August 12, 2010 with Shri Ramchandra Shripati Ubhe in connection with the purchase of an aggregate of approximately 87.35 acres of land. However, there is no assurance that the third party aggregators who are parties to the aforementioned MoUs will be able to agglomerate and/or procure the entire or a part of the area of the land as detailed in the aforementioned MoUs in a timely manner, on favourable terms, or at all. Further, we may not be able to execute and register such sales on terms anticipated by us, or at all. As a result, we may not be able to deploy all or a part of the proceeds of the Issue earmarked for the purchase of land as detailed in the section Objects of the Issue, and subject to applicable statutory and/or regulatory requirements may deploy such proceeds for other purposes. 100. Any delay and/or other adverse events and circumstances in connection with the activities for which we propose to deploy the proceeds of the Issue could adversely affect our financial condition, business plan and operations. We propose to deploy the net proceeds of the Issue inter-alia (a) to finance the construction and development of infrastructure components in Lavasa, and (b) to finance certain construction and development activities at Lavasa. The aforementioned activities are subject to a number of variables, including possible cost overruns and changes in our management's views of the desirability of current plans. Any unanticipated increase in the costs in connection with the aforementioned activities could adversely affect our estimates of the cost and our ability to implement our development plan. In addition, the aforementioned activities could be delayed and/or adversely affected as a result of failure to receive statutory and/or regulatory approvals in a timely manner or at all, technical difficulties, human resource, technological or other resource constraints, or for other unforeseen reasons, events or circumstances. Such delays and/or adverse events and/or circumstances could in turn adversely affect our financial condition, our business plan and operations. 101. After this Issue, our Equity Shares may experience price and volume fluctuations or an active trading market for our Equity Shares may not develop. The price of the Equity Shares may fluctuate after this Issue as a result of several factors, including, among other things, volatility in the Indian and global securities markets, the results of our operations and performance, the performance of our competitors, developments in the Indian real estate sector and changing perceptions in the market about investments in the Indian real estate sector, adverse media reports

xlvii

on us or the Indian real estate sector, changes in the estimates of our performance or recommendations by financial analysts, significant developments in India's economic liberalisation and deregulation policies and significant developments in India's fiscal regulations. In addition, only []% of our postIssue paidup capital is being offered to the public pursuant to the Issue. An active trading market for the Equity Shares may not develop or be sustained after this Issue. Further, the price at which the Equity Shares are initially traded may not correspond to the Issue Price. 102. There may be less information available about the companies listed on the Indian securities markets compared to information that would be available if we were listed on securities markets in developed countries. There may be differences between the level of regulation and monitoring of the Indian securities markets and the activities of investors, brokers and other participants and that of the markets in the United States and other more developed countries. The SEBI is responsible for approving and improving disclosure and other regulatory standards for the Indian securities markets. SEBI has issued regulations and guidelines on disclosure requirements, insider trading and other matters. There may, however, be less publicly available information about companies listed on an Indian stock exchange compared with information that would be available if that company was listed on a securities market in a developed country. 103. There are restrictions on daily movements in the price of our Equity Shares, which may adversely affect a shareholder's ability to sell, or the price at which it can sell, Equity Shares at a particular point in time. Subsequent to listing, we will be subject to a daily circuit breaker imposed on listed companies by all stock exchanges in India which does not allow transactions beyond certain volatility in the price of our Equity Shares. This circuit breaker operates independently of the index-based market-wide circuit breakers generally imposed by SEBI on Indian stock exchanges. The percentage limit on our circuit breaker is set by the stock exchanges based on the historical volatility in the price and trading volume of the Equity Shares. The stock exchanges are not required to inform us of the percentage limit of the circuit breaker, and may change it without our knowledge. This circuit breaker would effectively limit the upward and downward movements in the price of the Equity Shares. As a result of this circuit breaker, there can be no assurance regarding the ability of shareholders to sell the Equity Shares or the price at which shareholders may be able to sell their Equity Shares. 104. Future issuances or sales of the Equity Shares could significantly affect the trading price of our Equity Shares. To fund future growth plans, we may raise further capital by way of a subsequent issue of equity shares in either the domestic or overseas market. Any such issuance of equity shares would dilute current investors' shareholdings in us. Further, the public's perception of any such further issue may also affect the value of our Equity Shares. A sale by the major shareholders of all or a portion of their shareholding or issuance of stock options under our existing or future employee stock option plans may affect the value of our Equity Shares, as well. There can be no assurance that we will not issue further equity shares or that the major shareholders will not dispose of, pledge or otherwise encumber their Equity Shares. 105. After the completion of the Issue, our Promoters will own, directly and indirectly, approximately []% of our outstanding Equity Shares and a sale or the anticipated sale by them could adversely affect the price of the Equity Shares. After the completion of the Issue, our Promoters will own, directly and indirectly, approximately []% of our outstanding Equity Shares. Sale of large number of our Equity Shares by our Promoters could adversely affect the market price of our Equity Shares. Similarly, the perception that any such primary or secondary sale may occur could adversely affect the market price of our Equity Shares. Upon completion of the Issue, 20.00% of our post-Issue paid-up capital held by certain of our Promoters will be locked up for a period of three years from the date of allotment of Equity Shares in the Issue. For further information relating to such Equity Shares that will be locked up, please see Capital Structure on page 37. All other remaining Equity

xlviii

Shares that are outstanding prior to the Issue will be locked up for a period of one year from the date of allotment of Equity Shares in the Issue. 106. There is no guarantee that the Equity Shares will be listed on the BSE and the NSE in a timely manner or at all. In accordance with Indian law and practice, permission for listing of the Equity Shares will not be granted until after those Equity Shares have been issued and allotted. Approval for listing and trading requires all other relevant documents authorizing the issuing of Equity Shares to be submitted. There could be a failure or delay in listing the Equity Shares on the BSE and the NSE. Any failure or delay in obtaining the approval would restrict investors' ability to dispose of their Equity Shares. 107. You may be subject to Indian taxes arising out of capital gains on the sale of our Equity Shares. Sale of Equity Shares by any shareholder may give rise to tax liability in India, as discussed in the section Statement of Tax Benefits on page 69. 108. Foreign investors are subject to foreign investment restrictions under Indian law that limit our ability to attract foreign investors, which may adversely impact the market price of our Equity Shares. Under the foreign exchange regulations currently in force in India, transfers of shares between nonresidents and residents are freely permitted (subject to certain restrictions) if they comply with the pricing guidelines and reporting requirements specified by the RBI. If the transfer or shares, which are sought to be transferred is not in compliance with such pricing guidelines or reporting requirements or fall under any of the exceptions referred to above, then the prior approval of the RBI will be required. Additionally, shareholders who seek to convert the Rupee proceeds from a sale of shares in India into foreign currency and repatriate that foreign currency from India will require a no objection/tax clearance certificate from the income tax authority. We cannot assure investors that any required approval from the RBI or any other Government agency can be obtained on any particular terms or at all. 109. You will not be able to immediately sell any of our Equity Shares you purchase in the Issue on an Indian Stock Exchange. Under the SEBI Regulations, we are permitted to allot our Equity Shares within 12 Working Days of the closure of the Issue. Consequently, the Equity Shares you purchase in this Issue may not be credited to your demat account with Depository Participants within 12 Working Days of the closure of the Issue. You can start trading in our Equity Shares only after they have been credited to your demat account and listing and trading permissions are received from the Stock Exchanges. If the permission to deal in and for an official quotation of our Equity Shares is not granted by any of the Stock Exchanges, we are required to repay, without interest, all moneys received from bidders in connection with this Issue. If such moneys are not repaid within eight days after we become liable to repay it (i.e., from the date of refusal or within 15 days from the date of Bid/Issue Closing Date, whichever is earlier), then we will, on and from the expiry of eight days, be liable to repay the moneys, with interest at the rate of 15% per annum on the application money, as prescribed under Section 73 of the Companies Act. The Equity Shares will be listed on the NSE and the BSE. Pursuant to Indian regulations, certain actions must be completed before the Equity Shares can be listed and trading may commence. Investors' book entry, or demat, accounts with depository participants in India are expected to be credited within two working days of the date on which the basis of allotment is approved by NSE and BSE. Thereafter, upon receipt of final approval from the NSE and the BSE, trading in the Equity Shares is expected to commence within seven working days of the date on which the basis of allotment is approved by the Designated Stock Exchange. We cannot assure you that the Equity Shares will be credited to investors' demat accounts, or that trading in the Equity Shares will commence, within the time periods specified above.

SUMMARY OF INDUSTRY The information in this section is derived from various government publications and industry sources. Neither we nor any other person connected with the Issue has verified this information. Industry sources and publications generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources generally believed to be reliable, but that their accuracy, completeness and underlying assumptions are not guaranteed and that their reliability cannot be assured and, accordingly, investment decisions should not be based on such information. Urbanization in India Urban India has attracted investment on the back of strong growth, but India's cities fall short of delivering a high standard of living for their residents. According to McKinsey Global Institute (MGI), urbanization in India requires US$1.2 trillion of additional capital investment by 2030. India should build at least 25 new satellite cities to accommodate populations in each of up to one million people. Although building new cities is generally more expensive (on a per capita basis) than renewing existing cities, such an effort could act as a benchmark and a model for well-planned, environmentally sustainable world-class cities while helping ease some of the strains of rapid urbanization. The graphs below show the current performance of India's cities as compared with best in class standards across indicators of quality of life:

Surging growth and employment in cities will prove a powerful magnet for such new cities. India's urban population grew from the 290 million reported in the 2001 Census to an estimated 340 million in 2008, and MGI projects that it could soar further to 590 million by 2030. In terms of both population and GDP, many Indian cities will become larger than many countries today. Consequently, as the urban population and their incomes increase, demand for every key service will increase in cities of every size and type. Unlike many countries that are grappling with aging populations and rising dependency ratios, India has a young and rapidly growing population. We estimate that 180 million new job seekers will enter India's workforce over the next two decades a potential demographic dividend. But India needs thriving cities if that dividend is to pay out. As India's cities expand, its economic makeup will also likely change. In 1995, India's GDP split almost evenly between its urban and rural economies. In 2009, urban GDP accounted for 58% of overall GDP and by 2030, MGI estimates that urban India will generate nearly 70% of India's GDP. For the first time in India's history, the nation will have five large states (Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Punjab) that will have more of their population living in cities than in villages. These economic trends are expected to help support sectors, such as urban construction, real estate, infrastructure, transportation, healthcare, education, hospitality and recreation. For instance, MGI projects that the economy will have to build between 700 million and 900 million square metres of residential and commercial space a year equivalent to adding more than two Mumbais every year. (Source: India's urban awakening: Building inclusive cities, sustaining economic growth, McKinsey Global Institute, April 2010) Urbanisation in the Mumbai-Pune Economic Corridor The Mumbai-Pune corridor is the largest economic corridor in India. It caters to a population of 29.6 million and contributed ` 2,908 billion to India's GDP in 2007 (Source: Economic Survey of Maharashtra, 2009-10). The growth potential of the Mumbai-Pune corridor is supported by the large number of projects (existing and upcoming) in the region such as the Navi Mumbai SEZ and the Dhirubhai Ambani Knowledge Centre, both located in Navi Mumbai. The Components of Urbanisation New cities and integrated townships are typically comprised of the following sectors / sub-sectors of economic activity: Real estate development Construction is distributed across hundreds of developers operating in geographies with low entry barriers. Infrastructure creation Multiple developers, EPC companies and sub-contractors operate in the sector with both municipal and private presence. Operations and maintenance Multiple municipal and development bodies operate in the sector with multiple private operators. Governance and regulation Multiple municipal and development bodies operate in the sector with limited private presence. City economy and consumption basket The consumption aspect of the industry is distributed over hundreds of businesses operating in any city with limited integrated presence and primarily includes hospitality, tourism and leisure, education, healthcare and retail.

As is evident, all these industry sectors/sub-sectors are fragmented between various industry players and integrating them under one management could bring in economies of scale. The Real Estate Sector in India

The real estate sector in India is mainly comprised of the development of residential housing, commercial buildings, hotels, restaurants, cinemas, retail outlets and the purchase and sale of land and development rights. The Indian real estate sector has traditionally been dominated by a number of small regional players with relatively low levels of expertise or financial resources. Historically, the sector has not benefited from institutional capital and has instead utilised high net-worth individuals and other informal sources of financing as its major source of funding, leading to low levels of transparency. Key characteristics of the Indian real estate sector are: Highly fragmented market dominated by regional players; Local knowledge is critical to successful development; High transaction costs; Enhanced role of mortgage financing; Lack of clarity in land title; Availability of land; and Sector governance issues.

The Hospitality and Tourism Industries in India With the increase of disposable income in the hands of middle class Indians, the propensity for spending a larger portion of income on travel and leisure has been steadily increasing. This factor, coupled with the changing lifestyle of the urban population and an increase in business travel, has created demand for mid-tier as well as high-end hotels and serviced apartments across the country. India is emerging as a destination for global tourism, increasing the demand for hotels and tourism across India. (Source: http://tourism.gov.in/) Further, given the growing number of foreign tourists, the hospitality sector in India is expected to rise to US$275 billion in the next 10 years. The sector is also expected to see investments of over US$11 billion in the next two to three years. (Source: Cushman & Wakefield India Report Almanac, April 2010) The performance of the hospitality sector is dependent upon the continued growth of the Indian economy. The hotel and tourism industry in recent years has generally been performing well in terms of foreign tourist arrivals, foreign exchange earnings, average rental rates and occupancy, supported by liberalisation of the aviation sector in India and efforts to improve the national tourist infrastructure. Government initiatives such as the Incredible India marketing campaign and quicker delivery of visas are also helping the industry. Foreign tourist arrivals in India increased from 2.03 million in the period from January to May 2009 to 2.26 million during the corresponding period in 2010. (Source: http://tourism.gov.in/) Maharashtra Maharashtra offers a variety of attractions for tourists including hill stations, pilgrimage spots, heritage, eco-tourism attractions and beaches. Recognizing the overall benefits of tourism, the government of Maharashtra formulated a 20 year perspective plan for development of sustainable tourism in 2003, which stresses private participation and gives importance to environmental and socio-economic concerns. It envisaged a total investment of ` 7.98 billion to develop road conditions, means of transport, communication, eating places, signage and public amenities. It also identified themes to promote tourism which included nature tourism, ethnic tourism, leisure tourism, corporate tourism, health tourism etc. (Source: Department of Tourism Maharashtra, 2003). The Healthcare Industry in India

Although the state of Indian healthcare is changing rapidly, healthcare infrastructure remains largely inadequate. The healthcare delivery market in India is expected to grow at a CAGR of 12 percent over the next five years to reach ` 2,977 billion by 2013, driven by an increase in the number of treatments as well as the cost per treatment. However, investments in healthcare infrastructure have been low in the past, and hence, the prevailing infrastructure in the sector is not robust enough to cater to the needs of the population. Apart from physical infrastructure, India has also been facing a shortage of physicians, and especially, nurses. CRISIL Research expects the healthcare sector to witness investments worth ` 873 billion over the next five years. According to CRISIL Research, India currently needs 1,238,604 beds. Its calculations further suggest that to the current requirement of 1,238,604 beds, India will need to add another 0.81 million beds during the period 2009-2018). Thus, India will need investments to the tune of ` 2,113 billion during 2009 to 2018. (Source: CRISIL Research Hospitals Annual Review, August 2009) Over the last two decades, the majority of tertiary care institutions in the public sector have been facing a shortage of resources and have not been able to obtain funds for the maintenance of equipment, the supply of consumables and infrastructure upgrades that are required to meet the growing demand for complex diagnostic and therapeutic treatments. As a result, private hospitals are becoming more popular in spite of higher costs. (Source: CRISIL Research, Hospitals Annual Review-State of the Industry, August 2009) The private sector accounts for 75-85% of total healthcare expenditure in India, which is among the highest proportions for private healthcare spending in the world. The sector has grown substantially in the past 15 years, making India one of the largest private healthcare sectors in the world. (Source: CRISIL Research, Hospitals Annual Review-State of the Industry, August 2009) The Education Industry in India The Indian education system comprises of formal and informal education. Formal education comprises of primary and secondary schools and higher education. This segment is highly regulated by various statutory bodies formed by central and state governments. K-12 Education Pre-schooling offers a lucrative opportunity for investors as this segment is not regulated at present, and hence, private players can determine their own fees and earn profits. As there are few organised players, the market is very fragmented; however, brand consciousness is increasing gradually and well established companies can now charge a premium for their services. CRISIL Research expects the pre schooling segment to witness faster growth in the medium term on the back of rising affordability levels amongst the target population. (Source: CRISIL Research, June 2009) Higher and Technical Education CRISIL Research expects demand for higher education to register steady growth in the medium term, driven by rising disposable income levels and favourable age demographics. Enrolments in higher education are forecast to increase at a CAGR of 6.5 percent from an estimated 16 million in 2007-08 to around 21 million by 2012-13. However, this would necessitate the setting up of nearly 9,000 institutions, which in turn, entails investments worth ` 1,000 billion over the next 5 years. (Source: CRISIL Research, Educational Services Annual Review, June 2009) The growth drivers in the Indian education sector are: Increasing population and lower literacy rate; Increasing per capita income; and Urbanisation.

The Retail Industry in India As in many nations, retail consumption in India was severely impacted as a result of the global economic downturn. Now that the nation's economic recovery is well under way, it is becoming apparent that the underlying factors which propelled India's consumerism in the past remain true today: Demographics are still favourable with two- thirds of the nation's population below age 35.

Urbanization is still rapidly occurring, and at a greater depth with many Tier III an Tier IV cities providing concentrations of retailing potential. India's economy seems strong, suffering only a slowdown in the rate of growth during the global economic crisis while others contracting. India's middle-class is still growing as are per capita incomes and the availability of credit. The depth and breadth of organized retail penetration beyond India's major metros is still continuing into markets which offer favourable opportunities for retailers and property developers.

The Indian retail market stood at US$330 billion in 2007 with little more than 4% of it being attributed to the organized retail sector. By the end of 2010 the organized segment is expected to grow to 10% of total retail within the country. This rapid growth of organized retail is partially attributed to the phenomenal burst of new shopping malls built over the last 3 years, an increasing number of which are located in the nation's smaller, underserved markets. However, organized retail is also being driven throughout India by resilient consumers who are typically young, urbanized and brand-conscious shoppers with changing preferences towards consumerism and the means to pursue it.

SUMMARY OF BUSINESS This Draft Red Herring Prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our estimates are based on our internal management plans, independent studies and research and are subject to various contingencies. Our future plans would also require certain government approvals, which, if not received, may adversely impact our development plan. There are certain events which may or may not happen, which may have an adverse impact on our development plan. Our results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including the considerations described below and elsewhere in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. For details of such risks, see Risk Factors on page xii. In this section, unless the context otherwise requires, a reference to our Company or to we, us and our refers to Lavasa Corporation Limited, and our Subsidiaries and Associates on a consolidated basis. Unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires, the financial information used in this section is derived from our audited restated consolidated and unconsolidated financial statements. This section should be read together with Risk Factors on page xii and Industry on page 79. Overview We are a city development and management company engaged in the development, construction and management of Lavasa, a hill city development in India. The state of Maharashtra has declared an area of 18 villages in Mulshi and Velhe Tehasil in the district of Pune as a hill station, measuring approximately 23,014 acres (based on our internal estimates pursuant to review of available land records). As of September 10, 2010, we have purchased approximately 9,460 acres of largely contiguous land within this designated area. We were granted an in-principle approval by the state of Maharashtra to develop this land which was separately notified as a hill station pursuant to which we maintain exclusive development rights over the land owned by us. Our vision is to develop Lavasa as a city which provides avenues for its residents and visitors to live, work, learn and play in harmony with nature. The area declared as a hill station is almost one-fifth of the land area of Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) and includes submerged land of 4,320 acres (Source: www.mcgm.gov.in and internal project report prepared by our planning department). Based on the land we own or have entered into MoUs and/or agreements to purchase as of September 10, 2010 measuring 13,226 acres, we estimate that Lavasa can accommodate a permanent population of approximately 300,000 with facilities for approximately two million tourists per annum. Cities comprise a myriad of businesses that are typically provided by multiple private and public entities and are governed by diverse regulatory frameworks. At Lavasa, we are developing businesses which, we believe, will over time facilitate and sustain the economy of Lavasa in a complementary fashion. We aim to develop a 365 day economy meaning that Lavasa will not simply be a weekend or tourist destination; instead, we aim to develop an economy at Lavasa where we expect to share in the revenue streams related to our ongoing consumption and infrastructure businesses. We expect that our initial real estate development and early stage investments in core infrastructure assets such as roads, dams, bridges, water and sewage network may lead to real estate revenues in the short term and ongoing consumption driven revenues from businesses located within Lavasa in the long term. Through our continued emphasis on infrastructure and city management, we aim to achieve optimum resident satisfaction which in turn, we believe, may lead to additional real estate transactions and consumption opportunities in the hospitality, education, tourism and leisure, healthcare and retail sectors. We are consciously cultivating these interlinked and co-dependent businesses within the framework of our governance platform which we believe will significantly contribute to this economic integration. Driven by our focus on integration, we are organised as follows: Real estate. Our real estate business aims to continue to purchase, develop, sell built up structures and/or lease land and/or real estate assets across the residential, commercial, institutional, hospitality and social sectors. Our revenues are primarily derived from real estate sales and leases of built up structures and/or land leases, grant of long term leasehold interests in the underlying lands and, to a lesser extent, the lease of certain assets and our consolidated revenue from this business was ` 3,063.71 million for FY 2010 and ` 2,071.04 million for FY 2009. Governance. Pursuant to a notification dated June 12, 2008, issued under the MRTP Act, (SPA Notification), the Government of Maharashtra has appointed our Company as a special planning authority in connection with land owned and proposed to be developed by us. The SPA is our governance platform,

which aims to ensure an optimum quality of life for our residents and visitors and benefits from exclusive development rights. In terms of the MRTP Act, the SPA is required to, from time to time, submit its proposals for the developments of the land in the area as detailed in the SPA Notification, (being land either currently owned by us or land which is proposed to be purchased by us), (Statutory Proposals), to the State Government after having invited and considered suggestions and objections from the public. The State Government may in turn, after consultation with the Director of Town Planning, approve such Statutory Proposals either with or without modification. The Statutory Proposals are required to be prepared taking into consideration the provisions of any regional plan or a draft thereof, any development plan, building bye-laws and regulations, which are already in force in the area notified under the SPA Notification. Prior to the SPA Notification, pursuant to a letter dated June 7, 2008, the Office of the Collector, Revenue Department, District Pune, has approved and granted permission to our Company for our proposed development at Dasve and Padalghar for a total area of 636.82 hectares. Currently, the draft Statutory Proposals for land owned and proposed to be developed by us has been approved by the SPA and is pending publication amongst others in the official gazette and local newspapers, for public review and receipt of public suggestions and objections thereon. Consequently, this draft Statutory Proposals, after having considered the objections and suggestions received from the public, as appropriate, shall be submitted to the State Government for its approval. The SPA also approves certain draft development control regulations applicable to the land under the control and jurisdiction of the SPA (the Lavasa DCRs), which are required to be subsequently approved by the State Government. The Lavasa DCRs are required to be within the framework of the regional plan, which includes the Hill Station Regulations and the development control rules, regulations, and notifications issued by the State Government of Maharashtra, as applicable to the notified area in the Pune district (the Pune Region DCRs). Thus, the SPA prepares the Statutory Proposals and the Lavasa DCRs and supervises and ensures that all development within the city is in accordance with the Statutory Plan, the Lavasa DCRs, the master plan designed by our Company with HOK International Limited and applicable statutory, regulatory and other requirements. Infrastructure. We construct and own assets related to dams, water and sewage, drainage, solid waste management, power, roads, street lighting, landscaping, public utilities and information, communication and technology. We expect that our information, communication and technology infrastructure will include telephone, mobile and broadband networks, e-governance and a data centre. In addition, we also construct, develop and maintain social infrastructure such as townhalls, parks and gardens, post offices and police and fire stations. In addition, our city management team enforces our public health and welfare, public safety and regulations and will maintain our infrastructure and civic amenities once these become operational. We aim to provide better services than those available in the average Indian city and to achieve economies of scale given the size of Lavasa's expected population and the scale of Lavasa. Based on our engineer certificate dated August 11, 2010, on the land that we own and have developed as of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we expect to treat 100% sewage and solid waste generated, we expect to have 100% piped water, sewage and septic tank coverage, our storm water drains are expected to cover 120% of our road network and we have designed our water supply to deliver 216 litres per capita per day, all of which, according to McKinsey Global Institute (MGI), are better than or comparable to current best-inclass standards. (Source: India's urban awakening: Building inclusive cities, sustaining economic growth, Mckinsey Global Institute April 2010). Consumption. Our consumption business comprises businesses in the hospitality, education, tourism and leisure, healthcare and retail sectors and aims to achieve ongoing annuity revenues through tie-ups with corporate and other institutions in the relevant sectors. o Hospitality. Our hospitality business comprises of hotels, a convention centre and clubs. Together with our partners, we aim to offer hotels of various categories ranging from budget to high-end hotels. We have been granted mega status by the Tourism and Cultural Affairs

Department, Government of Maharashtra under the Tourism Policy 2006 of the Government of Maharashtra in connection with our proposed tourism project at Lavasa Hill Station at Taluka Mulshi and Velhe falling under 'C' zone. Fortune Select Dasve and Mercure Lavasa, two hotels developed by us, are currently operational and we have also developed an international convention centre in Dasve with a plenary capacity of 1,500 people, which commenced operations in April 2010. Further, Dasvino, our town and country club, has also started its operations in April 2010. o Education. We have tied up with international and national educational institutions to establish an education infrastructure traversing primary, secondary, tertiary and continuing education aimed at providing quality education centred around recognised national and international curricula. Our revenue from the education business is derived from lease income from the educational institutions and, in some instances, ongoing revenue pursuant to our shareholdings in these businesses. As of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we have entered into arrangements with institutions, such as Educomp Infrastructure and School Management Limited, Birla Edutech Limited and Ecole Hoteliere de Lausanne whereby we will develop educational institutions jointly with these entities. Tourism and leisure. We intend to offer various tourism and leisure amenities such as golf training, boating, nature trails, water sports, outdoor sports, adventure sports and theme based entertainment parks with an intention to draw visitors to Lavasa. We have arrangements in place with Space Investment Corporation LLC to set up a space themed entertainment park, Nick Faldo Designs Overseas Limited for designing the golf course at Dhamanohol, Faldo Academies Limited for golf training academy at Mugaon, a licence agreement with Golden Five Limited for rowing and training activities with Sir Steve Redgrave and have signed term sheets with Hockey Australia, Manchester City Football Club Limited and I Dream Productions Private Limited. Healthcare. We have entered into arrangements with Apollo Hospitals Enterprise Limited for health and wellness development at Lavasa, covering primary hospitals, wellness research development and medical education and have developed a hospital with a capacity of 60 beds at Dasve through a subsidiary. Retail. We are developing commercial retail spaces with an intention to lease such spaces and in some cases lease land on a long term basis for the lessee to set up diverse retail businesses. We are developing retail spaces ranging from single brand flagship stores to retail squares concentrated in the town centre. In addition, we are developing retail spaces attached to a space themed entertainment park.

We view Lavasa as a replicable model for the development of future cities and we will, in our view, have a competitive advantage with respect to bidding for and efficiently developing and executing such future cities. We will, on an opportunistic basis, evaluate options for developing future cities and marketing our city management expertise to other developers of new cities. We are jointly promoted by HCC, a recognised engineering, construction and infrastructure development company in India, through its wholly-owned subsidiary company HREL. HCC holds a 64.99% stake in Lavasa, through its subsidiary, HREL. The following chart shows Lavasa together with its various projects in the hospitality, healthcare, tourism and leisure, education, retail and city management and infrastructure businesses:

Our Strengths We believe our principal competitive strengths are as follows: Market opportunity and our market position According to the MGI, India should build at least 25 new satellite cities to accommodate populations in each of up to one million people. MGI also notes that urbanisation requires US$ 1.2 trillion of additional capital investments by the year 2030. (Source: India's urban awakening: Building inclusive cities, sustaining economic growth, Mckinsey Global Institute April 2010). Primary drivers of this demand are the expected increase in the proportion of the Indian population living in cities and expected Indian GDP growth. We believe that barriers to entry will prevent competitors from capturing some of this market opportunity, as a development of the scale of Lavasa requires significant upfront investments and revenue starts accruing after long periods of time. For instance, while we commenced real estate development and sales of built up structures and/or leasing arrangements in 2007, we started the purchase of land in 2002 and have been developing infrastructure for the last five years. Special regulatory approvals and consents are required to purchase land for the purpose of establishing and developing a city and a successful city development requires expertise and partnerships across various sectors of the economy, including infrastructure, education, hospitality, tourism and city management services. Accordingly, there are barriers to entry into the city development industry and we believe that we are aptly positioned to participate in any opportunities of a similar scale that may arise in India. Our location and size advantage Lavasa is located 42 kilometres from Chandni Chowk, an area on the outskirts of Pune and 216 kilometres from Mumbai (via Chandni Chowk), and, accordingly, Lavasa lies in close proximity to the Mumbai Pune corridor. We believe that the Mumbai Pune corridor, with an estimated population of 29.6 million and a contribution of ` 2,908 billion to India's GDP in FY 2010, is India's largest economic corridor, with higher population and GDP than the Delhi-Jaipur corridor located in north India and the Bengaluru-Mysore corridor located in the south. For further details, see Industry Overview on page 79. As of September 10, 2010, we have purchased approximately 9,460 acres of largely contiguous land near the Mumbai Pune corridor. In light of the scarcity of land in Mumbai and Pune, the pressure of economic activities and residential developments are spreading along the transportation links, namely expressway, highway and railway lines between the two cities, leading to the emergence of a strong corridor of economic development. We expect that Lavasa, because of its location and size, will benefit from this economic activity. Our integrated business model We believe that the various businesses that comprise the development and management of Indian cities (such as real estate, infrastructure, consumption and governance) are currently fragmented in most Indian cities. We expect that our initial real estate development and early stage investments in core infrastructure assets such as roads and water dams may lead to real estate development revenues in the short term and ongoing consumption driven revenues from businesses located within Lavasa in the long term. Through our continued emphasis on infrastructure and city management, we aim to achieve optimum resident satisfaction which in turn, we believe, may lead to additional real estate transactions and consumption opportunities in the hospitality, education, tourism and leisure, health and wellness and retail sectors. We are consciously cultivating these interlinked and dependent businesses within the framework of our governance platform, which, we believe, will significantly contribute to this economic integration. We believe our business model will provide us with an optimal mix of revenue streams which are lease premiums, project management consultancy fees, returns on equity infusion, sales and/or leases of retail built up area, lease rentals from rental housing, lease rentals linked to revenues of retail outlets and fees for design and construction on the leased land. In addition, we will typically pursue a new business project after indentifying a partner with adequate knowledge of operations in the relevant sector. Such industry participant is typically required to contribute equity in the related subsidiary or associate. This allows us to (i) share the risk of any new venture with specialists, (ii) avail of their expertise in their respective fields and (iii) provide us with an additional source of funds for growth. Our governance platform

10

Our governance platform allows us exclusive development and management rights through the SPA. The SPA framework permits us to enforce our rights and coordinate the approvals, permissions and certificates required in order to implement our development plan. Our governance platform facilitates the development of Lavasa in a thoughtful, coordinated and efficient manner. We believe that the governance platform will be a key attraction to potential residents and business partners. Our promoters HCC has been involved in the development of Lavasa since 2004 and the professionals who worked at HCC on Lavasa have in many instances become our employees. They have through their work at HCC developed expertise in infrastructure related projects which are important aspects of the development of Lavasa. We expect to benefit from the project management expertise and guidance of HCC, as well as its established business relationships and its brand recognition throughout India. Our employee base Our senior management includes experienced professionals who head our different functional units. For details of our Board of Directors and senior management, please see Our Management on page 157. As of June 30, 2010, Lavasa Corporation Limited had over 447 employees on its rolls and we expect to selectively expand the employee base incrementally as the size of our operations increases. The majority of these employees are engineers, architects, management graduates and chartered accountants. We also employ a city manager, Scot Wrighton, with over 20 years of international experience in city management in the states of Illinois, Kansas and Missouri in the U.S.A. Tie-ups with recognised industry participants in diverse businesses We have arrangements in place with recognised partners, such as AAPC Singapore PTE Limited for the management and operation of hotels, Langham Hospitality Limited for providing technical advisory services to our hotel, Faldo Academies Limited for developing a golf training academy, Educomp Infrastructure and School Management Limited for developing educational institutions, Christel House India, a trust set up for the benefit of under privileged children, Career Launcher for conducting courses and training programs and Ecole Hoteliere de Lausanne for providing consultancy services to us in connection with the development of a hospitality learning institute. In addition, we have entered into a technical audit, pre-opening, operating and marketing services agreement with Fortune Park Hotels Limited and a shareholders' agreement with Space Investment Co LLC, UAE relating to a space themed entertainment park. In the healthcare sector we have arrangements in place with Apollo Hospitals Enterprise Limited. Our arrangements, which we expect will provide us with diverse revenue sources and requisite industrial and operational knowledge, are key aspects of our marketing and branding strategies and we will continue to target key strategic partners. For most of our tie-ups, we set up a subsidiary or an associate with our counterparty with relevant expertise to align our interests and leverage such expertise. Our track record As of June 30, 2010, we have executed and registered lease deeds, agreements to lease, and/or have issued allotment letters (where the agreements to lease with respect to such allotment letters are pending execution and/or registration) with various customers in connection with the lease of an aggregate of 896 apartments, 461 villas (including sale of built up area), 127 villa plots and 399 rental housing units (including sale of built up area). Further, we have entered into MoUs and signed term sheets for lease on a long term basis of 90.54 acres of land to various customers in the commercial, institutional, hospitality and social (including education) sectors. We have leased 106,384 sq. ft. of retail space to our subsidiary, DRL for the purpose of setting up and operating retail, food and beverage and other such outlets. As of June 30, 2010, DRL has leased out 28,249 sq. ft. to various brands through leave and licence agreements and has also signed term sheets for the lease of a further 11,757 sq. ft. We have also leased on a long term basis 197,462 sq. ft. of developable area for providing hostel facilities to educational institutions, which we expect to be completed by FY 2012. For further details related to our real estate track record and real estate projects under construction, please see Our real estate business on page 114.

Several key infrastructure projects have already been completed, such as the Dasve Dam, a 35.5-kilometre water distribution network, 51.5 kilometres of sewerage collection network, 12.5 kilometres of transmission network and 36.5 kilometres of distribution line network. Several other key infrastructure projects are under design and development, such as the Gadle Dam, Mugaon tunnel, 22.9 MLD of water treatment and 20 MLD of sewage treatment capacity, 51 MW of power capacity and an extensive network of internal and external roads. In addition, we have entered into agreements with various service providers to provide city wide network infrastructure, telecommunications and wireless internet services to residents, tourists and corporates. Our Strategy We aim to develop Lavasa as a planned city which provides avenues to its residents and visitors to live, work, learn and play in harmony with nature. We aim to achieve this through: Diverse demographic model We believe that economic diversity is required for a thriving city. We intend to continue to cultivate a diverse economy where we participate in most sectors through investments with our partners who are shareholders in our subsidiaries or associates. By making early and strategic investments in our core competencies, including real estate and infrastructure development, we were able to generate considerable real estate revenues thereby further facilitating tie-ups with such partners and positioning us, together with our partners, to capture the consumption opportunities at Lavasa. Furthermore, we intend to continue to design and price our real estate lease arrangements at Lavasa to appeal to a diverse demography. We believe that such an approach, which is diversified across sectors of the economy, will lead to sustainable demand from potential residents and visitors and will contribute to the growth of Lavasa. Optimal revenue mix In FY 2010, 99.17% of our revenue related to lease arrangements which included sale of built up structures. As of September 10, 2010, we own approximately 9,460 acres of land and have entered into MoUs in relation to the purchase of approximately 3,765 acres. In addition to the above, we may purchase an additional approximately 5,469 acres of land within the area declared as a hill station pursuant to the Hill Station Regulations on an opportunistic basis which, we expect, will generate additional sources of revenue for us. Over time and on an opportunistic basis, we expect to shift our revenue strategy such that an increasing proportion of our revenues will be derived from revenues from businesses, visitors and residents located at Lavasa. We believe that the growth in the economy of Lavasa will allow our subsidiaries and associates to generate higher revenues. We have already entered into arrangements with such institutions and companies which in our view are recognised in their respective industries. We intend to continue to explore additional tie-ups across Lavasa with a view to expand our reach in the economy of Lavasa for the long term. Continuing to target recognised companies as partners We will typically only pursue a new business project at Lavasa after identifying a company with the appropriate expertise in the relevant sector. We are selective with respect to our potential partners. We expect that our stringent standards will only increase following the initial completion of Dasve which, we believe, will serve as a showcase that will attract additional participants to our other planned towns and contribute to Lavasa's economy in the long term. Non-residential development aimed at driving residential demand We aim to achieve an optimal mix of development at Lavasa with over two-thirds of the real estate developments planned for Period 1. We expect that this may lead to generation of residential demand in future periods. Attractive commercial and social institutions are organic drivers of residential real estate demand and our early focus on nonresidential real estate development such as hospitality and retail real estate together with our tie-ups with recognised companies may, in our view, drive our residential real estate market.

12

Front-end infrastructure components For each stage of our development, our strategy includes early investments in key infrastructure assets which we believe may drive real estate development revenues. At Dasve, several key infrastructure assets such as the road between Warasgaon and Dasve, Dasve Dam, water treatment plant, sewage treatment plant, drainage and distribution network, power transmission and distribution network and an enhanced fibre optic network have been completed and through our continued emphasis on infrastructure and city management, we aim to achieve optimum resident satisfaction which in turn, we believe, may lead to additional real estate transactions and consumption opportunities. With Dasve expected to be substantially operational during FY 2012, the infrastructure of our second town is under development with substantial commencement of operations expected during FY 2014 and in particular the Mugaon tunnel will be operational by FY 2013. Leveraging our intellectual property According to the McKinsey Global Institute, India should build at least 25 new satellite cities to accommodate populations in each of up to one million people. (Source: India's urban awakening: Building inclusive cities, sustaining economic growth, Mckinsey Global Institute April 2010). We will consider undertaking such projects on an opportunistic basis and applying our Lavasa related industry and market knowledge to such opportunities. We believe that our experience in designing and developing the infrastructure, town planning and management at Lavasa, on the one hand, as well as our existing relationships with industry leaders in the infrastructure, education, hospitality, tourism and town planning and management sectors, on the other hand, will give us a competitive advantage in winning and efficiently executing such future projects. We have entered into a consultancy agreement dated September 9, 2010 with our Promoters, pursuant to the terms of which, HCC/HREL and/or its affiliates conferred exclusively upon our Company, in relation to undertaking development of new cities, the right to develop, operate, manage and maintain such new cities and/or act as a consultant in relation thereto. In the event we propose to develop any new cities either by ourselves or through any of our Subsidiaries, neither our Promoters nor any of their affiliates shall have the right to develop such new city. In the event that the development of any new city is not proposed to be carried out by our Company or any of our Subsidiaries, our Promoters have agreed to appoint us as consultants to HCC, HREL, and/or any of their respective affiliates which propose to undertake such development. Any intellectual property, whether registered or not, pertaining to the development, operations, management, planning and maintenance of any future new cities shall vest exclusively with our Company. We are considering developing one such city in the Dholera Special Investment Region (SIR) in Gujarat in association with HCC Real Estate Limited. This potential development has a different concept and platform from Lavasa, but would be built on the foundations of our intellectual property.

Our Company is undertaking this Issue under Rule 19(2)(b)(ii) of the SCRR and shall comply with the requirements

34

there under. This being an issue for less than 25% of post-Issue paid-up equity share capital of our Company, the SEBI Regulations read with Rule 19(2)(b) of the SCRR, permit an issue of securities to the public through the 100% Book Building Process, wherein at least 50% of the Net Issue shall be allocated on a proportionate basis to QIBs. 5% of the QIB Portion (excluding Anchor Investor Portion) shall be available for allocation on a proportionate basis to Mutual Funds only. The remainder shall be available for allocation on a proportionate basis to QIBs including the Mutual Funds subject to valid Bids being received at or above the Issue Price. If at least 50% of the Net Issue cannot be allocated to QIBs, then the entire application money will be refunded forthwith. Further, not less than 15% of the Net Issue shall be available for allocation on a proportionate basis to Non Institutional Bidders and not less than 35% of the Net Issue shall be available for allocation on a proportionate basis to Retail Individual Bidders, subject to valid Bids being received at or above the Issue Price. Our Company will comply with the SEBI Regulations and any other ancillary directions issued by SEBI for this Issue. In this regard, our Company has appointed the BRLMs to manage the Issue and to procure subscriptions to the Issue. QIB Bidders are not allowed to withdraw their Bids after the Bid /Issue Closing Date. For further details, please see Terms of the Issue on page 352. The Book Building Process under the SEBI Regulations is subject to change from time to time and investors are advised to make their own judgment about investment through this process prior to making a Bid in the Issue. Illustration of the Book Building Process and price discovery process Investors should note that this example is solely for illustrative purposes and is not specific to the Issue; it also excludes Bidding by Anchor Investors. Bidders can bid at any price within the price band. For instance, assume a price band of ` 20 to ` 24 per equity share, offer size of 3,000 equity shares and receipt of five bids from bidders out which one bidder has bid for 500 equity shares at ` 24 per equity share while another has bid for 1,500 equity shares at ` 22 per equity share. A graphical representation of consolidated demand and price would be made available at the bidding centers during the bidding period. The illustrative book given below shows the demand for the shares of a company at various prices and is collated from bids from various investors. Bid Quantity 500 1,000 1,500 2,000 2,500 Bid Price (`) 24 23 22 21 20 Cumulative Quantity 500 1,500 3,000 5,000 7,500 Subscription 16.67% 50.00% 100.00% 166.67% 250.00%

The price discovery is a function of demand at various prices. The highest price at which the company is able to offer the desired number of shares is the price at which the book cuts off i.e. ` 22 in the above example. The company in consultation with the BRLMs will finalise the issue price at or below such cut-off price, i.e. at or below ` 22. All bids at or above the issue price and cut-off price are valid bids and are considered for allocation in the respective categories. Steps to be taken by the Bidders for bidding: Check eligibility for bidding (please see Issue Procedure - Who Can Bid? on page 361); Ensure that you have an active demat account and the demat account details are correctly mentioned in the Bid cum Application Form; Except for Bids on behalf of the Central or State Governments and the officials appointed by the courts, for

35

Bids of all values. Ensure that you have mentioned your PAN allotted under the IT Act in the Bid cum Application Form or the ASBA Bid cum Application Form. In accordance with the SEBI Regulations, the PAN would be the sole identification number for participants transacting in the securities market, irrespective of the amount of transaction (please see Issue Procedure on page 360); Ensure that the Bid cum Application Form or ASBA Bid cum Application Form is duly completed as per the instructions given in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus and in the Bid Cum Application Form or ASBA Bid cum Application Form; Bids by QIBs shall be submitted only to the BRLMs, other than Bids by QIBs who Bid through the ASBA process, who shall submit the Bids to the Designated Branch of the SCSBs; and Bids by ASBA Bidders will have to be admitted to the Designated Branches. ASBA Bidders should ensure that their bank accounts have adequate credit balance at the time of submission to the SCSB to ensure that the ASBA Bid cum Application Form is not rejected.

Specifications of the various infrastructure development activities at Dasve, Mugaon, Bhoini and Dhamanohol are provided below: 1. Road network: Internal/external roads are the roads that connect the main inter village roads to the various residential and commercial establishments. Inter village roads are roads that connect the internal villages within Lavasa. They are currently owned, built and maintained by Lavasa. All roads are built as per relevant statutory and/or regulatory requirements including the guidelines issued by the Indian Road Congress and have lighting and signages on them throughout. All roads are water bound macadam roads. Water treatment: The water treatment plants at Lavasa are designed to meet the standards of the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board. The major components include aeration fountain, flow channel, tube settler, flocculator, pre-chlorination tank, filter house and the post chlorination tank. Post these processes water is taken to the master balancing reservoir. Water is then pumped to ground service reservoirs and finally distributed to individual households. Sewage treatment: The sewage treatment system in Lavasa is designed, as per standard norms, to handle throughput of 85% of the water consumption demand. Lavasa existing and planned sewerage treatment plants and collection networks use or are designed to use an extended anaerobic process with tertiary treatment. The sewage collection network collects sewerage collected from each of the zones and it feeds into a pumping station from where it is pumped to sewage treatment plant. The treated effluent is recycled and used for irrigation and other purposes.

Industry sources and publications generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources generally believed to be reliable, but that their accuracy, completeness and underlying assumptions are not guaranteed and that their reliability cannot be assured and, accordingly, investment decisions should not be based on such information. The Indian Economy India is the world's largest democracy in terms of population (approximately 1.16 billion people) as at July 2009 with a GDP (by purchasing powering parity) of approximately US$3.56 trillion in 2009. This makes it the fifth largest economy in the world in terms of GDP after the European Union, the United States of America, China and Japan. (Source: CIA World Factbook) Despite the global economic decline in fiscal 2008, India continues to be one of the fastest growing countries in the world and is showing positive signs of recovery following the global financial downturn. The graph below is a comparison between Indias expected GDP growth during calendar years 2009 and 2010, as compared to advanced economies, developing economies and the world. As can be seen from the graph, all of the countries are expected to see positive growth in calendar year 2010.This is due to the fact that economic conditions have improved more than expected, owing mainly to Government intervention. Further, Indias growth is expected to outperform advanced and developing economies. Recent data suggests that the rate of decline in economic activity is moderating, although this is occurring to varying degrees across different regions.

As shown in the above table, India has experienced rapid economic growth over the past five Fiscal years. However, economic activity in India slowed down in Fiscal 2009 as compared with over 9% growth in the previous three years. Growth decelerated sharply in third quarter of FY 2009 following the failure of Lehman Brothers in midSeptember 2008 and adverse effects of the global financial crisis on the Indian economy. However, the turnaround in the Indian economy came in the second quarter of 2009-10, when the economy grew by 7.9% (see the below table, which reflects real GDP growth rates at constant 2004-05 prices). The advance estimates of the Central Statistical Organization released in February 2010 have placed the real GDP growth for 2009-10 at 7.2%. (Source: Indian Economic Survey). Since 1991, successive Indian governments have implemented comprehensive reforms in the areas of fiscal and industrial policy, trade and finance. Some of the key reform measures include: Industrial policy reforms: In 1991, the Indian Government formulated the Industrial Policy, which, as amended from time to time, contains the policies relating to FDI in Indian companies engaged in business in various sectors of Indian industry. The Indian Government, pursuant to its liberalisation policy, set up the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB), to regulate together with the RBI all foreign direct investment into India. The Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP), Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India makes policy pronouncements on FDI. In the beginning of 2009, the government of India relaxed the norms for foreign direct investment (FDI) in various sectors. As per new norms, various sectors such as commodity exchanges, credit information and aircraft maintenance are opened for overseas investors while hiking the ceiling for investment in public sector oil refineries. Revised FDI policy would now permit 100 percent foreign investment in maintenance, repair and overhauling (MRO) facilities for aircraft as also aviation training units. In 2009, the Indian Government issued two press notes setting out guidelines for foreign investment in India. Press Note 2 of 2009 prescribes the guidelines for the calculation of total foreign investment (direct and indirect) in Indian companies, whereas Press Note 4 of 2009 clarifies the guidelines on downstream investments by Indian companies. On 31 March 2010, the DIPP issued a Consolidated FDI Circular with the stated purpose of consolidating into one document all the prior policies/regulations on FDI and reflects the current policy framework on FDI. During April-November 2009-10, total FDI equity inflows stood at ` 93,354 crore (US$19,379 million) as against ` 85,700 crore (US$19,791 million) during the corresponding period in 2008-09, signifying a growth of 9 percent in rupee terms and a decline of 2 percent in US dollar terms. During 2008-09, total FDI equity inflows stood at ` 1,22,919 crore (US$27,309 million) as against ` 98,664 crore (US$24,579 million) during 2007-08, signifying a growth of 25 percent in rupee terms and 11 percent in US dollar terms. The developments in terms of policy responses during the last few years were to an extent shaped by the effects of the global financial crisis on Indian industry. Measures taken specifically for the industrial sector included fiscal measures and measures to ensure availability of credit. Broadly, the effort in this regard was to mitigate the sharp impact of the global recession on industry, especially the export-oriented sectors that were the most directly affected. (Source: Economic Survey 2009-2010, Ministry of Finance, Government of India) Trade policy reforms: Select measures taken by the Government of India in recent years in connection with promotion of trade amongst others include the following:

Interest rate ceiling of 250 basis points p.a. below the benchmark prime lending rate (BPLR) for pre-shipment rupee export credit up to 270 days and post-shipment rupee export credit up to 180 days has been extended to the end of April 30, 2010. The ceiling rate on export credit in foreign currency increased to LIBOR plus 350 basis points. The all-in-cost ceiling for raising trade credit was revised to 200 basis points over six months of LIBOR. The prescribed interest rate as applicable to postshipment rupee export credit was extended to overdue bills up to 180 days. The period of entitlement has been extended by 90 days for the first slab of pre-shipment and postshipment.

(Source: Economic Survey 2009-2010, Ministry of Finance, Government of India) Monetary Policy and Financial Sector Reforms: The Government of India through the RBI has adopted an accommodative monetary policy stance post-September 2008, in response to the global financial crisis, which continued during the financial year 2009-10. The monetary policy formulated by the RBI focused on maintaining a market environment conducive to the flow of credit to the productive sectors of the economy. The Reserve Bank constituted the Working Group on Benchmark Prime Lending Rates, (BPLR), in its Annual Policy Statement of 2009-10 to review the system and suggest changes to make credit pricing more transparent. The Working Group has recommended replacing the existing BPLR system with a base rate system. With the proposed base rate system, banks will not need to lend below the base rate as it would represent the bare minimum rate below which it would not be viable for them to lend. Further, various policy initiatives taken by the Government of India and RBI have helped ease the pressure on trade financing. This is further corroborated by the increase in share of short-term trade credit (both inflows and outflows) in the overall gross capital flows with share in inflows increasing from 10.9 percent in 2007-08 to 13.4 percent in 2008-09 and share in outflows increasing from 9.6 percent to 14.3 percent (Source: Economic Survey 2009-2010, Ministry of Finance, Government of India)

It is expected that Indian economic growth would continue and that the growth over the next few years would accelerate to a CAGR growth of approximately 8.1%. (Source: IMF)

Urbanisation in India The state of urbanisation in India and the pain in the market Urban India has attracted investment on the back of strong growth, but India's cities fall short of delivering a high standard of living for their residents. As the urban population and their incomes increase, demand for every key service will increase in cities of every size and type. If India continues to invest in urban infrastructure at its current rate which is very low by international comparison in 20 years' time the urban infrastructure will likely be unable

81

to sustain existing cities. The major challenges facing existing cities are deteriorating quality of life, uncertain economic growth given infrastructure and governance constraints, chronically low investment in civic infrastructure, amenities and governance platforms and low levels of spending by state and central governments in urban areas. The graphs below show the current performance of India's cities as compared with best in class standards across indicators of quality of life:

Water supply, for instance, for the average citizen could drop with a large section of the population having no access to potable water at all. Moreover, India's cities could leave most of their sewage untreated. While private car ownership would increase, shortcomings in the transportation infrastructure have the potential to create an urban gridlock. In addition, affordable housing is a critical concern for low-income groups and in the absence of a viable model that caters to their needs, India will see the continued proliferation of slums across the country. In 2030, India's largest cities will be bigger than many major countries today. But India's governance of cities is not yet ready to face this challenge. As an example, some of India's large cities are still governed by bureaucrats who can be transferred out of office at short notice. This arrangement is in sharp contrast to large cities elsewhere that have empowered mayors with long tenures and clear accountability for the city's performance. There are good examples within India, too. Delhi has quasi-statehood status. Kolkata's modified mayor-commissioner model

82

provides a good starting point for reforming municipal structures in India with its combination of an empowered political executive and administrative support from a technocrat. India needs to clearly define the relative roles of its metropolitan and municipal structures. Very few cities in the country have functioning metropolitan authorities. With cities growing beyond municipal boundaries, having fully formed metropolitan authorities with clearly defined roles is important for the successful management of cities. Currently, cities deliver services through archaic and bureaucratic departments. India has urban plans but they are sometimes not followed due to various reasons. No city in India has a proper 2030 transportation master plan, nor have any of them allocated enough space and appropriate zoning for affordable houses. India faces the task of providing affordable homes to an estimated 38 million households by 2030 who will not be able to afford a market-priced house. (Source: India's urban awakening: Building inclusive cities, sustaining economic growth, McKinsey Global Institute, April 2010) Market appetite for new cities Every major industrialized country in the world has experienced a shift over time from a largely rural, agrariandwelling population to one that lives in urban, non-agricultural centres. India will be no different. However, India's urbanization will be on a scale that, outside of China, is unprecedented. By 2030, the McKinsey Global Institute (MGI) expects 250 million more people to live in India's cities, the fastest addition to an urban population of any country in history outside of China. New research by MGI concludes that urbanization in India requires US$1.2 trillion of additional capital investment by 2030. India should build at least 25 new satellite cities to accommodate populations in each of up to one million people. Although building new cities is generally more expensive (on a per capita basis) than renewing existing cities, such an effort could act as a benchmark and a model for well-planned, environmentally sustainable worldclass cities while helping ease some of the strains of rapid urbanisation. Surging growth and employment in cities will prove a powerful magnet for such new cities. India's urban population grew from the 290 million reported in the 2001 Census to an estimated 340 million in 2008, and MGI projects that it could soar further to 590 million by 2030. In terms of both population and GDP, many Indian cities will become larger than many countries today. For instance, the Mumbai metropolitan region's GDP is projected to reach $265 billion by 2030 with an expected population of 33 million. As set out in the following three graphs, India is expected to see strong growth in population including the working population relative to other countries as well as a migration towards a more service oriented industry.

Unlike many countries that are grappling with aging populations and rising dependency ratios, India has a young and rapidly growing population. We estimate that 180 million new job seekers will enter India's workforce over the next two decades a potential demographic dividend. But India needs thriving cities if that dividend is to pay out. As India's cities expand, its economic makeup will also likely change. In 1995, India's GDP split almost evenly between its urban and rural economies. In 2009, urban GDP accounted for 58% of overall GDP and by 2030, MGI estimates that urban India will generate nearly 70% of India's GDP. For the first time in India's history, the nation will have five large states (Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Punjab) that will have more of their population living in cities than in villages.

These economic trends are expected to help support sectors, such as urban construction, real estate, infrastructure, transportation, healthcare, education, hospitality and recreation. For instance, MGI projects that the economy will have to build between 700 million and 900 million square metres of residential and commercial space a year equivalent to adding more than two Mumbais every year. Cities and villages are interdependent and symbiotic. The urban economy will provide the more productive nonagricultural jobs that are important for an eventual increase in agricultural productivity and income. The urban economy will also provide 85 percent of total tax revenue, benefit 200 million rural Indians who live in proximity of the 70 largest cities in the country, and be perhaps the most cost-effective vehicle to expand access to basic services. The fate of India's villages and its cities are closely intertwined.

84

Economics aside, cities offer the promise of a higher quality of life for a larger number of Indians. This is because the scale benefits provided by cities offer the opportunity to significantly lower the cost of delivering services such as water and sanitation. In short, as set out in the following three charts, urbanisation in India is expected to lead to increasing prosperity and accordingly robust GDP growth. (Source: India's urban awakening: Building inclusive cities, sustaining economic growth, McKinsey Global Institute, April 2010) Corridors and Clusters India's top-tier cities would likely be more productive if communication and transport links between them were stronger. MGI recommends facilitating the emergence of economic clusters of top-tier cities by providing rapid transport systems (such as eight to ten lane expressways) to connect them. MGI has identified 19 such clusters of two or more big cities together with their surrounding towns that account for 55 percent of the urban population and can seed the next wave of urbanization in India even beyond 2030. Such transportation corridors cost around US$50 per capita to build, and offer a low-cost seeding mechanism for India's ongoing urbanization. Tier 1 cities include Mumbai, New Delhi and Chennai and Tier 2 cities include Patna, Coimbatore and Cuttack. (Source: India's urban awakening: Building inclusive cities, sustaining economic growth, McKinsey Global Institute, April 2010) Cities as Economic Drivers

(Source: see endnote (i)) The graphic above lists the area and population of some of the major cities of India, and of the world. It also shows the GDP of these cities as of Fiscal 2007. These city GDPs are significant components of the overall economy of the country. For instance, New Delhi and Mumbai together contributed ` 2741 billion to the nation, which was 6% of India's GDP in 2007. The cities of Singapore and Hong Kong are by themselves large economies, ranked 43rd and 38th in the world (Source: see endnote (i)) The Components of Urbanisation

New cities and integrated townships are typically comprised of the following sectors / sub-sectors of economic activity: Real estate development Construction is distributed across hundreds of developers operating in geographies with low entry barriers. Infrastructure creation Multiple developers, EPC companies and sub-contractors operate in the sector with both municipal and private presence. Operations and maintenance Multiple municipal and development bodies operate in the sector with multiple private operators. Governance and regulation Multiple municipal and development bodies operate in the sector with limited private presence. City economy and consumption basket The consumption aspect of the industry is distributed over hundreds of businesses operating in any city with limited integrated presence and primarily includes hospitality, tourism and leisure, education, healthcare and retail.

As is evident, all these industry sectors / sub-sectors are fragmented between various industry players and integrating them under one management could bring in economies of scale. The Gurgaon Case Study Gurgaon is an example of a new satellite city benefitting from increased economic activity and urbanisation in the National Capital Region of India located in and around New Delhi. In 1995, the population of Gurgaon was 136,000 with residential spaces totalling just 1.1 million square feet. There was very little commercial and retail space (0.5 million square feet and 80 thousand square feet respectively). Since then however, Gurgaon has seen tremendous development over the last 15 years. The population grew to 229,000 in 2001, registering a decadal growth rate of 68.39%. (Source: Statistical Abstract of Haryana, 2007-08).

86

(Source: Statistical Abstract of Haryana) Commensurate with the rapid growth in population, Gurgaon witnessed extensive city building activity creating residential spaces, commercial spaces, retail spaces and hospitality spaces. Commercial office and retail spaces grew at a CAGR of 35% and 37% to 40 million square feet and 8.7 million square feet respectively by 2010. On the back of the economic activity generated by these commercial spaces, the total residential stock available in Gurgaon also increased at a CAGR of 35% to 98 million square feet in 2010 and the number of hotel rooms available increased from 180 in 2000 to 2100 in 2010, a CAGR of 27%, creating a city serving an estimated population of 370 (estimated based on decadal growth rate) thousand in 2010 in just 15 years. The growth in economic activity was faster between 2005 and 2010 (which is in line with the increase in the rate of GDP growth of the Indian economy from 6.5% between 1995 and 2005 and 9.4% between 2005 and 2010) and has not subsided yet. New residential projects totalling 41 million square feet, commercial projects totalling 20 million square feet and retail projects totalling six million square feet are in the pipeline and will likely be available in the next few years. The 2021 plan for Gurgaon-Manesar urban complex, which covers an area of 99 square kilometres has been developed for a projected population of 3.7 million (Gurgaon-Manesar Development Plan 2021). (Source: Feedback Ventures, Gurgaon - Exponential Growth, May 2010) The Mumbai-Pune Economic Corridor The Mumbai-Pune corridor (encompassing the districts of Mumbai city, Mumbai suburban, Thane, Raigad and Pune) is the largest economic corridor in India. It caters to a population of 29.6 million and contributed ` 2,908 billion to India's GDP in 2007 (Source: Economic Survey of Maharashtra, 2009-10). In comparison, the DelhiJaipur corridor (encompassing the districts of New Delhi, Gurgaon, Rewari and Jaipur) caters to a population of 20.7 million while contributing ` 1,937 billion to India's GDP in 2007. The District GDP of Gurgaon and Rewari districts is estimated on the basis of value added tax collections. (Source: Economic Survey of Delhi 2007-08; Delhi Budget 2009-10; Directorate of Economics and Statistics, Rajasthan; Haryana Statistical Abstract, 2009-10).

The comparison is starker when comparing tax collections. The Mumbai-Pune corridor paid ` 797 billion as income and corporate taxes, greater than the combined tax collections from Delhi-Jaipur and

Magarpatta City This integrated township spread over 400 acres in Pune and was developed by Magarpatta Township Development and Construction Company Limited (Source: Magarpatta City http://www.magarpattacity.com/) The Real Estate Sector in India The real estate sector in India is mainly comprised of the development of residential housing, commercial buildings, hotels, restaurants, cinemas, retail outlets and the purchase and sale of land and development rights. Key characteristics of the real estate sector

91

The Indian real estate sector has traditionally been dominated by a number of small regional players with relatively low levels of expertise or financial resources. Historically, the sector has not benefited from institutional capital and has instead utilised high net-worth individuals and other informal sources of financing as its major source of funding, leading to low levels of transparency. Some of the key characteristics of the Indian real estate sector are: Highly fragmented market dominated by regional players: Rapid growth in the last decade has contributed to the emergence of larger players that have been able to capitalise on their early mover advantage to build high market shares, though generally they remain confined to local or regional markets. While the larger regional players are now initiating efforts to develop a broader geographic presence, their home markets continue to generate a majority of their profitability. The new cities and integrated township industry is similarly fragmented along the following lines: Local knowledge is critical to successful development: The property sector is generally regulated at the state level. As a result, the rules and regulations that impact, among other things, approval processes and transaction costs, vary from state to state. Also, real estate is affected by the geographic area surrounding the property which makes local knowledge essential for development. High transaction costs: The real estate sector has traditionally been burdened with high transaction costs as a result of stamp duty payable on transfers of title to property, the amount of which varies from state to state. Although the range and availability of financing products has been improving in recent years (see below), transaction costs are often increased further by limited access to formal funding and the corresponding dependence on informal, high-cost sources for funding. Enhanced role of mortgage financing: Over the past few years, a significant portion of new real estate purchases in India, particularly in the larger cities, have been financed through banks and financial institutions. This has been aided by a decline in interest rates and the broader availability of financing products, generally due to aggressive marketing and product development by financial institutions. Lack of clarity in land title: A significant number of land plots in India do not have clear title because of disorganised land registries and judicial delays in resolving ownership issues. Moreover, the transfer of land is subject to caveat emptor rules, which place the burden on the buyer to insure there are no defects in title prior to purchase. Finally, most land is held by individuals and families, which further obscures title to land. Availability of land: Real estate developers in India face challenges in connection with the purchase of land in India. The availability of land, as well as its use and development, is subject to regulations by various central, state and local authorities. Such restrictions could lead to a further shortage of developable land. For example, if a specific parcel of land has been deemed as agricultural land, no residential or commercial development is permitted without the prior approval of the local authorities. In addition, as large greenfield cities need a threshold size of between 5,000 acres and 10,000 acres to be sustainable, such greenfield opportunities are difficult and time-consuming. Sector governance issues: As a result of high transaction costs, real estate transactions in India often require large amounts of cash and lead to efforts to avoid taxes by using inefficient business structuring.

The Hospitality and Tourism Industries in India General With the increase of disposable income in the hands of middle class Indians, the propensity for spending a larger portion of income on travel and leisure has been steadily increasing. This factor, coupled with the changing lifestyle of the urban population and an increase in business travel, has created demand for mid-tier as well as high-end hotels and serviced apartments across the country. India is emerging as a destination for global tourism, increasing the demand for hotels and tourism across India. (Source: http://tourism.gov.in/)

92

Given the growing number of foreign tourists, the hospitality sector in India is expected to rise to US$275 billion in the next 10 years. The sector is also expected to see investments of over US$11 billion in the next two to three years. A number of international operators have been scouting in the country, identifying the locations best suited for their brand(s) and by the year 2011, about 40 international brands are likely to be present in the country. A number of new international operators are anticipated to enter the country, although, the mode of entry will be more conservative as compared to what it was three years ago, with a focus on opportunities that provide sufficient comfort levels on the proposed hotel's viability. (Source: Cushman & Wakefield India Report Almanac, April 2010) The performance of the hospitality sector is dependent upon the continued growth of the Indian economy. The hotel and tourism industry in recent years has generally been performing well in terms of foreign tourist arrivals, foreign exchange earnings, average rental rates and occupancy, supported by liberalisation of the aviation sector in India and efforts to improve the national tourist infrastructure. Government initiatives such as the Incredible India marketing campaign and quicker delivery of visas are also helping the industry. Foreign tourist arrivals in India increased from 2.03 million in the period from January to May 2009 to 2.26 million during the corresponding period in 2010. Foreign exchange earnings decreased from approximately ` 266.88 billion in the period from January to May 2009 to approximately ` 208.92 billion during the corresponding period in 2010. In May 2010, foreign exchange earnings were approximately ` 43.58 billion compared to ` 32.49 billion in May 2009. (Source: http://tourism.gov.in/) Further growth is expected in the industry, fuelled by increasing brand awareness of India and rising disposable incomes, easier availability of travel related information and relatively more convenient modes of transport. The World Travel and Tourism Council ranked the Indian travel and tourism industry 4th in long term growth (10 years). The demand is expected to grow at a real rate of 8.5%, increasing to ` 24 trillion (nominal) by 2020, with the direct contribution of the industry to GDP rising to ` 6.2 trillion (Source: World Travel and Tourism Council, 2010). The table below shows the components of the expected demand for travel and tourism. Business and leisure related travel is expected to increase, though personal travel is expected to continue its dominance. (in ` billion) 2020F 12,459 2,146 62 1,886 16,553 142 6,137 1,421 24,252

Maharashtra offers a variety of attractions for tourists including hill stations, pilgrimage spots, heritage, eco-tourism attractions and beaches. Recognizing the overall benefits of tourism, the government of Maharashtra formulated a 20 year perspective plan for development of sustainable tourism in 2003, which stresses private participation and gives importance to environmental and socio-economic concerns. It envisaged a total investment of ` 7.98 billion to develop road conditions, means of transport, communication, eating places, signage and public amenities. It also identified themes to promote tourism which included nature tourism, ethnic tourism, leisure tourism, corporate tourism, health tourism etc. (Source: Department of Tourism Maharashtra, 2003). The Healthcare Industry in India Healthcare services are critical to society and the economy, as they play an important role in reducing mortality rates and enhancing the quality of life. Although the state of Indian healthcare is changing rapidly, healthcare

93

infrastructure remains largely inadequate. The healthcare delivery market in India is expected to grow at a CAGR of 12 percent over the next five years to reach ` 2,977 billion by 2013, driven by an increase in the number of treatments as well as the cost per treatment. However, investments in healthcare infrastructure have been low in the past, and hence, the prevailing infrastructure in the sector is not robust enough to cater to the needs of the population. The country has only 0.9 hospital beds per 1,000 population as against the global average of 3.0 3.5 beds per 1,000 population. Apart from physical infrastructure, India has also been facing a shortage of physicians, and especially, nurses. The scarcity of beds coupled with a fast growing market represents a huge investment opportunity for players in this industry. CRISIL Research expects the healthcare sector to witness investments worth ` 873 billion over the next five years. According to CRISIL Research, India currently needs 1,238,604 beds. Its calculations further suggest that to the current requirement of 1,238,604 beds, India will need to add another 0.81 million beds during the period 2009-2018). Thus, India will need investments to the tune of ` 2,113 billion during 2009 to 2018. (Source: CRISIL Research Hospitals Annual Review, August 2009) Over the last two decades, the majority of tertiary care institutions in the public sector have been facing a shortage of resources and have not been able to obtain funds for the maintenance of equipment, the supply of consumables and infrastructure upgrades that are required to meet the growing demand for complex diagnostic and therapeutic treatments. As a result, private hospitals are becoming more popular in spite of higher costs. (Source: CRISIL Research, Hospitals Annual Review-State of the Industry, August 2009) The private sector accounts for 75-85% of total healthcare expenditure in India, which is among the highest proportions for private healthcare spending in the world. The sector has grown substantially in the past 15 years, making India one of the largest private healthcare sectors in the world. (Source: CRISIL Research, Hospitals Annual Review-State of the Industry, August 2009) In India, 100% FDI is permitted in the sector, and approval is through the automatic approval route. (Source: Master Circular - Foreign Investments in India Master Circular No. / 6/2004-05 dated July 1, 2004) The Education Industry in India The Indian education system comprises of formal and informal education. Formal Education Formal education comprises of primary and secondary schools and higher education. This segment is highly regulated by various statutory bodies formed by central and state governments. K-12 Education Pre-schooling offers a lucrative opportunity for investors as this segment is not regulated at present, and hence, private players can determine their own fees and earn profits. As there are few organised players, the market is very fragmented; however, brand consciousness is increasing gradually and well established companies can now charge a premium for their services. CRISIL Research expects the pre schooling segment to witness faster growth in the medium term on the back of rising affordability levels amongst the target population. (Source: CRISIL Research, June 2009) Various schools that are affiliated with CBSE, ICSE, state boards and other international boards deliver K-12 education in India. These schools are either run by central or state government or by the private sector. (Source: MHRD Annual Report 2008-09) Higher and Technical Education Higher education is governed by UGC, comprising graduate/medical/engineering courses. As on March 31, 2009, there are 471 universities comprising of 268 state universities, 40 central universities, 125 deemed universities, 5 institutions established under state legislations and 33 institutes of national importance established by central legislation. In addition, there are 22,064 colleges including around 2,260 colleges for women. At the beginning of the academic year 2008-09, the total number of students enrolled in universities and colleges has been reported to be

94

12.38 millions. Apart from above, as on December 11, 2009, there are 53 private universities established under various states. The technical education system in India can be broadly classified into three categories: central government funded institutions, state funded institutions & self-financed institutions. In 2008-09, there were 63 centrally funded institutions of technical and science education besides two Apex level Councils, namely, All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and the Council for Architecture. (Source: MHRD Annual Report 2008-09 and website of UGC) CRISIL Research expects demand for higher education to register steady growth in the medium term, driven by rising disposable income levels and favourable age demographics. Enrolments in higher education are forecast to increase at a CAGR of 6.5 percent from an estimated 16 million in 2007-08 to around 21 million by 2012-13. However, this would necessitate the setting up of nearly 9,000 institutions, which in turn, entails investments worth ` 1,000 billion over the next 5 years. (Source: CRISIL Research, Educational Services Annual Review, June 2009) Growth Drivers in Education Sector: Increasing population and lower literacy rate: Increasing population and constitution of 32.6% of population in the age group of 0 to 14 years will likely lead to increase in number of schools, colleges and universities. (Source: UNESCO) Increasing per capita income: Per capita income at current prices during 2009-10 is estimated to be ` 43,749 as compared to ` 40,141 during 2008-09, indicating a rise of 9%. This will likely contribute to an increase in the spending on education. (Source: Central Statistical Organisation) Urbanisation: India is migrating towards a services driven economy with the contribution of service and industry sectors to GDP increasing year on year. The lateral shift to a services economy is resulting in migration of people to cities and towns leading to mass urbanisation. Increasing urban population and demand for skilled workforce creates the need for better quality education.

The Retail Industry in India As in many nations, retail consumption in India was severely impacted as a result of the global economic downturn. Now that the nation's economic recovery is well under way, it is becoming apparent that the underlying factors which propelled India's consumerism in the past remain true today: Demographics are still favourable with two- thirds of the nations population below age 35 Urbanization is still rapidly occurring, and at a greater depth with many Tier III an Tier IV cities providing concentrations of retailing potential India's economy seems strong, suffering only a slowdown in the rate of growth during the global economic crisis while others contracting India's middle-class is still growing as are per capita incomes and the availability of credit The depth and breadth of organized retail penetration beyond India's major metros is still continuing into markets which offer favourable opportunities for retailers and property developers

The Indian retail market stood at US$330 billion in 2007 with little more than 4% of it being attributed to the organized retail sector. By the end of 2010 the organized segment is expected to grow to 10% of total retail within the country. This rapid growth of organized retail is partially attributed to the phenomenal burst of new shopping malls built over the last 3 years, an increasing number of which are located in the nation's smaller, underserved markets. However, organized retail is also being driven throughout India by resilient consumers who are typically

95

young, urbanized and brand-conscious shoppers with changing preferences towards consumerism and the means to pursue it. (Source: Jones Lang Lasalle Meghraj, Advance Retail: Off the Beaten Track, 2010)

OUR BUSINESS This Draft Red Herring Prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our estimates are based on our internal management plans, independent studies and research and are subject to various contingencies. Our future plans would also require certain government approvals, which, if not received, may adversely impact our development plan. There are certain events which may or may not happen, which may have an adverse impact on our development plan. Our results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including the considerations described below and elsewhere in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. For details of such risks, see Risk Factors on page xii. In this section, unless the context otherwise requires, a reference to our Company or to we, us and our refers to Lavasa Corporation Limited, and our Subsidiaries and Associates on a consolidated basis. Unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires, the financial information used in this section is derived from our audited restated consolidated and unconsolidated financial statements. This section should be read together with Risk Factors on page xii and Industry on page 79. Overview We are a city development and management company engaged in the development, construction and management of Lavasa, a hill city development in India. The state of Maharashtra has declared an area of 18 villages in Mulshi and Velhe Tehasil in the district of Pune as a hill station, measuring approximately 23,014 acres (based on our internal estimates pursuant to review of available land records). As of September 10, 2010, we have purchased approximately 9,460 acres of largely contiguous land within this designated area. We were granted an in-principle approval by the state of Maharashtra to develop this land which was separately notified as a hill station pursuant to which we maintain exclusive development rights over the land owned by us. Our vision is to develop Lavasa as a city which provides avenues for its residents and visitors to live, work, learn and play in harmony with nature. The area declared as a hill station is almost one-fifth of the land area of Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai ( MCGM) and includes submerged land of 4,320 acres (Source: www.mcgm.gov.in and internal project report prepared by our planning department). Based on the land we own or have entered into MoUs and/or agreements to purchase as of September 10, 2010 measuring 13,226 acres, we estimate that Lavasa can accommodate a permanent population of approximately 300,000 with facilities for approximately two million tourists per annum. Cities comprise a myriad of businesses that are typically provided by multiple private and public entities and are governed by diverse regulatory frameworks. At Lavasa, we are developing businesses which, we believe, will over time facilitate and sustain the economy of Lavasa in a complementary fashion. We aim to develop a 365 day economy meaning that Lavasa will not simply be a weekend or tourist destination; instead, we aim to develop an economy at Lavasa where we expect to share in the revenue streams related to our ongoing consumption and infrastructure businesses. We expect that our initial real estate development and early stage investments in core infrastructure assets such as roads, dams, bridges, water and sewage network may lead to real estate revenues in the short term and ongoing consumption driven revenues from businesses located within Lavasa in the long term. Through our continued emphasis on infrastructure and city management, we aim to achieve optimum resident satisfaction which in turn, we believe, may lead to additional real estate transactions and consumption opportunities in the hospitality, education, tourism and leisure, healthcare and retail sectors. We are consciously cultivating these interlinked and co-dependent businesses within the framework of our governance platform which we believe will significantly contribute to this economic integration. Driven by our focus on integration, we are organised as follows: Real estate. Our real estate business aims to continue to purchase, develop, sell built up structures and/or lease land and/or real estate assets across the residential, commercial, institutional, hospitality and social sectors. Our revenues are primarily derived from real estate sales and leases of built up structures and/or land leases, grant of long term leasehold interests in the underlying lands and, to a lesser extent, the lease of certain assets and our consolidated revenue from this business was ` 3,063.71 million for FY 2010 and ` 2,071.04 million for FY 2009. Governance. Pursuant to a notification dated June 12, 2008, issued under the MRTP Act, (SPA Notification), the Government of Maharashtra has appointed our Company as a special planning authority in connection with land owned and proposed to be developed by us. The SPA is our governance platform,

98

which aims to ensure an optimum quality of life for our residents and visitors and benefits from exclusive development rights. In terms of the MRTP Act, the SPA is required to, from time to time, submit its proposals for the developments of the land in the area as detailed in the SPA Notification, (being land either currently owned by us or land which is proposed to be purchased by us), (Statutory Proposals), to the State Government after having invited and considered suggestions and objections from the public. The State Government may in turn, after consultation with the Director of Town Planning, approve such Statutory Proposals either with or without modification. The Statutory Proposals are required to be prepared taking into consideration the provisions of any regional plan or a draft thereof, any development plan, building bye-laws and regulations, which are already in force in the area notified under the SPA Notification. Prior to the SPA Notification, pursuant to a letter dated June 7, 2008, the Office of the Collector, Revenue Department, District Pune, has approved and granted permission to our Company for our proposed development at Dasve and Padalghar for a total area of 636.82 hectares. Currently, the draft Statutory Proposals for land owned and proposed to be developed by us has been approved by the SPA and is pending publication amongst others in the official gazette and local newspapers, for public review and receipt of public suggestions and objections thereon. Consequently, this draft Statutory Proposals, after having considered the objections and suggestions received from the public, as appropriate, shall be submitted to the State Government for its approval. The SPA also approves certain draft development control regulations applicable to the land under the control and jurisdiction of the SPA (the Lavasa DCRs), which are required to be subsequently approved by the State Government. The Lavasa DCRs are required to be within the framework of the regional plan, which includes the Hill Station Regulations and the development control rules, regulations, and notifications issued by the State Government of Maharashtra, as applicable to the notified area in the Pune district (the Pune Region DCRs). Thus, the SPA prepares the Statutory Proposals and the Lavasa DCRs and supervises and ensures that all development within the city is in accordance with the Statutory Plan, the Lavasa DCRs, the master plan designed by our Company with HOK International Limited and applicable statutory, regulatory and other requirements. Infrastructure. We construct and own assets related to dams, water and sewage, drainage, solid waste management, power, roads, street lighting, landscaping, public utilities and information, communication and technology. We expect that our information, communication and technology infrastructure will include telephone, mobile and broadband networks, e-governance and a data centre. In addition, we also construct, develop and maintain social infrastructure such as townhalls, parks and gardens, post offices and police and fire stations. In addition, our city management team enforces our public health and welfare, public safety and regulations and will maintain our infrastructure and civic amenities once these become operational. We aim to provide better services than those available in the average Indian city and to achieve economies of scale given the size of Lavasa's expected population and the scale of Lavasa. Based on our engineer certificate dated August 11, 2010, on the land that we own and have developed as of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we expect to treat 100% sewage and solid waste generated, we expect to have 100% piped water, sewage and septic tank coverage, our storm water drains are expected to cover 120% of our road network and we have designed our water supply to deliver 216 litres per capita per day, all of which, according to McKinsey Global Institute (MGI), are better than or comparable to current best-inclass standards. (Source: India's urban awakening: Building inclusive cities, sustaining economic growth, Mckinsey Global Institute April 2010). Consumption. Our consumption business comprises businesses in the hospitality, education, tourism and leisure, healthcare and retail sectors and aims to achieve ongoing annuity revenues through tie-ups with corporate and other institutions in the relevant sectors. o Hospitality. Our hospitality business comprises of hotels, a convention centre and clubs. Together with our partners, we aim to offer hotels of various categories ranging from budget to high-end hotels. We have been granted mega status by the Tourism and Cultural Affairs

99

Department, Government of Maharashtra under the Tourism Policy 2006 of the Government of Maharashtra in connection with our proposed tourism project at Lavasa Hill Station at Taluka Mulshi and Velhe falling under 'C' zone. Fortune Select Dasve and Mercure Lavasa, two hotels developed by us, are currently operational and we have also developed an international convention centre in Dasve with a plenary capacity of 1,500 people, which commenced operations in April 2010. Further, Dasvino, our town and country club, has also started its operations in April 2010. o Education. We have tied up with international and national educational institutions to establish an education infrastructure traversing primary, secondary, tertiary and continuing education aimed at providing quality education centred around recognised national and international curricula. Our revenue from the education business is derived from lease income from the educational institutions and, in some instances, ongoing revenue pursuant to our shareholdings in these businesses. As of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we have entered into arrangements with institutions, such as Educomp Infrastructure and School Management Limited, Birla Edutech Limited and Ecole Hoteliere de Lausanne whereby we will develop educational institutions jointly with these entities.

We intend to offer various tourism and leisure amenities such as golf training, boating, nature trails, water sports, outdoor sports, adventure sports and theme based entertainment parks with an intention to draw visitors to Lavasa. We have arrangements in place with Space Investment Corporation LLC to set up a space themed entertainment park, Nick Faldo Designs Overseas Limited for designing the golf course at Dhamanohol, Faldo Academies Limited for golf training academy at Mugaon, a licence agreement with Golden Five Limited for rowing and training activities with Sir Steve Redgrave and have signed term sheets with Hockey Australia, Manchester City Football Club Limited and I Dream Productions Private Limited. Healthcare. We have entered into arrangements with Apollo Hospitals Enterprise Limited for health and wellness development at Lavasa, covering primary hospitals, wellness research development and medical education and have developed a hospital with a capacity of 60 beds at Dasve through a subsidiary. Retail. We are developing commercial retail spaces with an intention to lease such spaces and in some cases lease land on a long term basis for the lessee to set up diverse retail businesses. We are developing retail spaces ranging from single brand flagship stores to retail squares concentrated in the town centre. In addition, we are developing retail spaces attached to a space themed entertainment park.

We view Lavasa as a replicable model for the development of future cities and we will, in our view, have a competitive advantage with respect to bidding for and efficiently developing and executing such future cities. We will, on an opportunistic basis, evaluate options for developing future cities and marketing our city management expertise to other developers of new cities. We are jointly promoted by HCC, a recognised engineering, construction and infrastructure development company in India, through its wholly-owned subsidiary company HREL. HCC holds a 64.99% stake in Lavasa, through its subsidiary, HREL. The following chart shows Lavasa together with its various projects in the hospitality, healthcare, tourism and leisure, education, retail and city management and infrastructure businesses:

Our Strengths We believe our principal competitive strengths are as follows: Market opportunity and our market position According to the MGI, India should build at least 25 new satellite cities to accommodate populations in each of up to one million people. MGI also notes that urbanisation requires US$ 1.2 trillion of additional capital investments by the year 2030. (Source: India's urban awakening: Building inclusive cities, sustaining economic growth, Mckinsey Global Institute April 2010). Primary drivers of this demand are the expected increase in the proportion of the Indian population living in cities and expected Indian GDP growth. We believe that barriers to entry will prevent competitors from capturing some of this market opportunity, as a development of the scale of Lavasa requires significant upfront investments and revenue starts accruing after long periods of time. For instance, while we commenced real estate development and sales of built up structures and/or leasing arrangements in 2007, we started the purchase of land in 2002 and have been developing infrastructure for the last five years. Special regulatory approvals and consents are required to purchase land for the purpose of establishing and developing a city and a successful city development requires expertise and partnerships across various sectors of the economy, including infrastructure, education, hospitality, tourism and city management services. Accordingly, there are barriers to entry into the city development industry and we believe that we are aptly positioned to participate in any opportunities of a similar scale that may arise in India. Our location and size advantage Lavasa is located 42 kilometres from Chandni Chowk, an area on the outskirts of Pune and 216 kilometres from Mumbai (via Chandni Chowk), and, accordingly, Lavasa lies in close proximity to the Mumbai Pune corridor. We believe that the Mumbai Pune corridor, with an estimated population of 29.6 million and a contribution of ` 2,908 billion to India's GDP in FY 2010, is India's largest economic corridor, with higher population and GDP than the Delhi-Jaipur corridor located in north India and the Bengaluru-Mysore corridor located in the south. For further details, see Industry Overview on page 79. As of September 10, 2010, we have purchased approximately 9,460 acres of largely contiguous land near the Mumbai Pune corridor. In light of the scarcity of land in Mumbai and Pune, the pressure of economic activities and residential developments are spreading along the transportation links, namely expressway, highway and railway lines between the two cities, leading to the emergence of a strong corridor of economic development. We expect that Lavasa, because of its location and size, will benefit from this economic activity. Our integrated business model We believe that the various businesses that comprise the development and management of Indian cities (such as real estate, infrastructure, consumption and governance) are currently fragmented in most Indian cities. We expect that our initial real estate development and early stage investments in core infrastructure assets such as roads and water dams may lead to real estate development revenues in the short term and ongoing consumption driven revenues from businesses located within Lavasa in the long term. Through our continued emphasis on infrastructure and city management, we aim to achieve optimum resident satisfaction which in turn, we believe, may lead to additional real estate transactions and consumption opportunities in the hospitality, education, tourism and leisure, health and wellness and retail sectors. We are consciously cultivating these interlinked and dependent businesses within the framework of our governance platform, which, we believe, will significantly contribute to this economic integration. We believe our business model will provide us with an optimal mix of revenue streams which are lease premiums, project management consultancy fees, returns on equity infusion, sales and/or leases of retail built up area, lease rentals from rental housing, lease rentals linked to revenues of retail outlets and fees for design and construction on the leased land. In addition, we will typically pursue a new business project after identifying a partner with adequate knowledge of operations in the relevant sector. Such industry participant is typically required to contribute equity in the related subsidiary or associate. This allows us to (i) share the risk of any new venture with specialists, (ii) avail of their expertise in their respective fields and (iii) provide us with an additional source of funds for growth.

Our governance platform

102

Our governance platform allows us exclusive development and management rights through the SPA. The SPA framework permits us to enforce our rights and coordinate the approvals, permissions and certificates required in order to implement our development plan. Our governance platform facilitates the development of Lavasa in a thoughtful, coordinated and efficient manner. We believe that the governance platform will be a key attraction to potential residents and business partners. Our promoters HCC has been involved in the development of Lavasa since 2004 and the professionals who worked at HCC on Lavasa have in many instances become our employees. They have through their work at HCC developed expertise in infrastructure related projects which are important aspects of the development of Lavasa. We expect to benefit from the project management expertise and guidance of HCC, as well as its established business relationships and its brand recognition throughout India. Our employee base Our senior management includes experienced professionals who head our different functional units. For details of our Board of Directors and senior management, please see Our Management on page 157. As of June 30, 2010, Lavasa Corporation Limited had over 447 employees on its rolls and we expect to selectively expand the employee base incrementally as the size of our operations increases. The majority of these employees are engineers, architects, management graduates and chartered accountants. We also employ a city manager, Scot Wrighton, with over 20 years of international experience in city management in the states of Illinois, Kansas and Missouri in the U.S.A. Tie-ups with recognised industry participants in diverse businesses We have arrangements in place with recognised partners, such as AAPC Singapore PTE Limited for the management and operation of hotels, Langham Hospitality Limited for providing technical advisory services to our hotel, Faldo Academies Limited for developing a golf training academy, Educomp Infrastructure and School Management Limited for developing educational institutions, Christel House India, a trust set up for the benefit of under privileged children, Career Launcher for conducting courses and training programs and Ecole Hoteliere de Lausanne for providing consultancy services to us in connection with the development of a hospitality learning institute. In addition, we have entered into a technical audit, pre-opening, operating and marketing services agreement with Fortune Park Hotels Limited and a shareholders' agreement with Space Investment Co LLC, UAE relating to a space themed entertainment park. In the healthcare sector we have arrangements in place with Apollo Hospitals Enterprise Limited. Our arrangements, which we expect will provide us with diverse revenue sources and requisite industrial and operational knowledge, are key aspects of our marketing and branding strategies and we will continue to target key strategic partners. For most of our tie-ups, we set up a subsidiary or an associate with our counterparty with relevant expertise to align our interests and leverage such expertise. Our track record As of June 30, 2010, we have executed and registered lease deeds, agreements to lease, and/or have issued allotment letters (where the agreements to lease with respect to such allotment letters are pending execution and/or registration) with various customers in connection with the lease of an aggregate of 896 apartments, 461 villas (including sale of built up area), 127 villa plots and 399 rental housing units (including sale of built up area). Further, we have entered into MoUs and signed term sheets for lease on a long term basis of 90.54 acres of land to various customers in the commercial, institutional, hospitality and social (including education) sectors. We have leased 106,384 sq. ft. of retail space to our subsidiary, DRL for the purpose of setting up and operating retail, food and beverage and other such outlets. As of June 30, 2010, DRL has leased out 28,249 sq. ft. to various brands through leave and licence agreements and has also signed term sheets for the lease of a further 11,757 sq. ft. We have also leased on a long term basis 197,462 sq. ft. of developable area for providing hostel facilities to educational institutions, which we expect to be completed by FY 2012. For further details related to our real estate track record and real estate projects under construction, please see Our real estate business on page 114.

Several key infrastructure projects have already been completed, such as the Dasve Dam, a 35.5-kilometre water distribution network, 51.5 kilometres of sewerage collection network, 12.5 kilometres of transmission network and 36.5 kilometres of distribution line network. Several other key infrastructure projects are under design and development, such as the Gadle Dam, Mugaon tunnel, 22.9 MLD of water treatment and 20 MLD of sewage treatment capacity, 51 MW of power capacity and an extensive network of internal and external roads. In addition, we have entered into agreements with various service providers to provide city wide network infrastructure, telecommunications and wireless internet services to residents, tourists and corporates. Our Strategy We aim to develop Lavasa as a planned city which provides avenues to its residents and visitors to live, work, learn and play in harmony with nature. We aim to achieve this through: Diverse demographic model We believe that economic diversity is required for a thriving city. We intend to continue to cultivate a diverse economy where we participate in most sectors through investments with our partners who are shareholders in our subsidiaries or associates. By making early and strategic investments in our core competencies, including real estate and infrastructure development, we were able to generate considerable real estate revenues thereby further facilitating tie-ups with such partners and positioning us, together with our partners, to capture the consumption opportunities at Lavasa. Furthermore, we intend to continue to design and price our real estate lease arrangements at Lavasa to appeal to a diverse demography. We believe that such an approach, which is diversified across sectors of the economy, will lead to sustainable demand from potential residents and visitors and will contribute to the growth of Lavasa. Optimal revenue mix In FY 2010, 99.17% of our revenue related to lease arrangements which included sale of built up structures. As of September 10, 2010, we own approximately 9,460 acres of land and have entered into MoUs in relation to the purchase of approximately 3,766 acres. We expect to purchase an additional approximately 5,469 acres of land within the hill station notified area on an opportunistic basis which, we expect, will generate additional sources of revenue for us. Over time and on an opportunistic basis, we expect to shift our revenue strategy such that an increasing proportion of our revenues will be derived from revenues from businesses, visitors and residents located at Lavasa. We believe that the growth in the economy of Lavasa will allow our subsidiaries and associates to generate higher revenues. We have already entered into arrangements with such institutions and companies which in our view are recognised in their respective industries. We intend to continue to explore additional tie-ups across Lavasa with a view to expand our reach in the economy of Lavasa for the long term. Continuing to target recognised companies as partners We will typically only pursue a new business project at Lavasa after indentifying a company with the appropriate expertise in the relevant sector. We are selective with respect to our potential partners. We expect that our stringent standards will only increase following the initial completion of Dasve which, we believe, will serve as a showcase that will attract additional participants to our other planned towns and contribute to Lavasa's economy in the long term. Non-residential development aimed at driving residential demand We aim to achieve an optimal mix of development at Lavasa with over two-thirds of the real estate developments planned for Period 1. We expect that this may lead to generation of residential demand in future periods. Attractive commercial and social institutions are organic drivers of residential real estate demand and our early focus on nonresidential real estate development such as hospitality and retail real estate together with our tie-ups with recognised companies may, in our view, drive our residential real estate market.

Front-end infrastructure components

104

For each stage of our development, our strategy includes early investments in key infrastructure assets which we believe may drive real estate development revenues. At Dasve, several key infrastructure assets such as the road between Warasgaon and Dasve, Dasve Dam, water treatment plant, sewage treatment plant, drainage and distribution network, power transmission and distribution network and an enhanced fibre optic network have been completed and through our continued emphasis on infrastructure and city management, we aim to achieve optimum resident satisfaction which in turn, we believe, may lead to additional real estate transactions and consumption opportunities. With Dasve expected to be substantially operational during FY 2012, the infrastructure of our second town is under development with substantial commencement of operations expected during FY 2014 and in particular the Mugaon tunnel will be operational by FY 2013. Leveraging our intellectual property According to the McKinsey Global Institute, India should build at least 25 new satellite cities to accommodate populations in each of up to one million people. (Source: India's urban awakening: Building inclusive cities, sustaining economic growth, Mckinsey Global Institute April 2010). We will consider undertaking such projects on an opportunistic basis and applying our Lavasa related industry and market knowledge to such opportunities. We believe that our experience in designing and developing the infrastructure, town planning and management at Lavasa, on the one hand, as well as our existing relationships with industry leaders in the infrastructure, education, hospitality, tourism and town planning and management sectors, on the other hand, will give us a competitive advantage in winning and efficiently executing such future projects. We have entered into a consultancy agreement dated September 9, 2010 with our Promoters, pursuant to the terms of which, HCC/HREL and/or its affiliates conferred exclusively upon our Company, in relation to undertaking development of new cities, the right to develop, operate, manage and maintain such new cities and/or act as a consultant in relation thereto. In the event we propose to develop any new cities either by ourselves or through any of our Subsidiaries, neither our Promoters nor any of their affiliates shall have the right to develop such new city. In the event that the development of any new city is not proposed to be carried out by our Company or any of our Subsidiaries, our Promoters have agreed to appoint us as consultants to HCC, HREL, and/or any of their respective affiliates which propose to undertake such development. Any intellectual property, whether registered or not, pertaining to the development, operations, management, planning and maintenance of any future new cities shall vest exclusively with our Company. We are considering developing one such city in the Dholera Special Investment Region (SIR) in Gujarat in association with HCC Real Estate Limited. This potential development has a different concept and platform from Lavasa, but would be built on the foundations of our intellectual property. Our Master Plan and Development Plan The state of Maharashtra has declared an area of 18 villages in Mulshi and Velhe Tehasil in the district of Pune as a hill station, measuring approximately 23,014 acres (based on our internal estimates pursuant to review of available land records). As of September 10, 2010, we have purchased approximately 9,460 acres of largely contiguous land within this designated area. Pursuant to the master plan which we designed in conjunction with HOK International Limited (the Master Plan), we purchased land required for development activities and constructing basic infrastructure and invested in infrastructure and essential amenities early in our life cycle, followed by a focus on development of an economic activity base, and phased development and occupancy growth. Our development plan, which is an evolving and adaptive document, targets the development of 12,553 acres of land over five towns comprising of 14 villages and is spread over four development periods. As of September 10, 2010, Lavasa is comprised of 9,460 acres. We have entered into MoUs in connection with the purchase of an additional 3,766 acres. We will consider opportunistically purchasing an additional 5,469 acres of developable land within the hill station for purposes of progressing our development plan which is organised into the following four periods. Period 1 (pre 2008 - FY 2011) Our focus has been and will likely continue to be holistically developing a major part of Dasve, our first town (hereafter referred to as Town 1), which is spread over 1,416 acres. We commenced the development of Dasve by first investing in core infrastructure and real estate development. We also initiated development of projects in the education, hospitality, tourism and leisure (including sports) and healthcare sectors. These economic drivers, we

105

believe, will generate significant residential demand in Period 2. Our aim is that every square foot of non-residential asset development will lead to approximately two square feet of residential asset demand. Figure 1 below reflects the land we intend to develop in Town 1 on a standalone basis and whether such land is submerged, forest or available for development and the status of purchase of the land. Figure 2A below reflects our estimated total planned land development during Period 1 on a standalone basis across the residential, commercial, hospitality, institutional and social real estate markets, as measured by square feet constructed. Figure 2B reflects the developable area which we expect to lease on a long-term basis to subsidiaries and associates during Period 1. Figure 2C reflects the developable area which we expect to lease on a long-term basis to third parties during Period 1. Figures 1, 2A, 2B and 2C reflect expected real estate development relating to and contained on land we own or with respect to which we have entered into MoUs in connection with purchase on the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. We may be unable to develop or sell the built up structures and/or lease the underlying land referred to in Figures 1 and 2A below and lessees of the developable area do not necessarily intend to develop the land referred to in Figures 2B and 2C during Period 1 and they may be unable or unwilling to develop the land at all. In addition, with respect to the developable area in Figure 2C leased to third parties, we will have no recourse or rights with respect to the revenues relating to the developable area. For additional risks relating to our development plan, please see Risk Factors We may be unable to successfully implement our development plan on page xv.

For additional risks relating to our development plan, please see Risk Factors Our development plan may fail to anticipate the construction/development of diverse institutions essential in a full fledged city; We may not be able to successfully manage the growth of our operations on page xvii. Period 2 (FY 2012-14) We expect that our focus during Period 2 would be to commence operations for a significant component of the development of the second town Town 2, with its constituent villages being Mugaon, Bhoini, Koloshi and Ugawali, spread over 2,466 acres, as the economic centre of Lavasa with a focus on continuing to build the Lavasa brand and the real estate platform, on the one hand, and consolidating education, tourism and leisure, hospitality and healthcare and other businesses and services primarily through the development of residential, office and supporting commercial projects, on the other hand.

Our Businesses We are in the business of city development, with an integrated offering of three distinct business lines real estate, infrastructure and consumption. We aim to develop a 365 day economy meaning that Lavasa will not simply be a weekend or tourist destination; instead, we aim to develop an economy at Lavasa where we expect to share in the revenue streams related to our ongoing consumption and infrastructure businesses. Our real estate business line relates to the sale and/or lease of such structures and buildings and the lease of underlying land, development of plots, construction of residential, commercial, institutional, hospitality and social real estate as well as the sale of built up structures and/or lease thereof. Our infrastructure business relates to the development, ownership and management of our infrastructure as well as the collection of revenues in the form of management fees. Our consumption business relates to our ongoing revenue streams in the hospitality, education, healthcare, tourism and leisure and retail sectors of our economy, through direct or indirect participation. We are consciously cultivating these interlinked and co-dependent businesses within the framework of our governance platform which we believe will significantly contribute to this economic integration. Based on the land we own or have entered into MoUs and/or agreements to purchase as of September 10, 2010 measuring 13,226 acres, we estimate that Lavasa can accommodate a permanent population of approximately 300,000 with facilities for approximately two million tourists per annum and an employment base consisting of our potential permanent and tourist populations of approximately 97,000. Our real estate business Our real estate business aims to continue to develop, sell and lease real estate assets and comprises a range of offerings, including residential (villas, villa plots, apartments, rental housing, retiree housing, student and faculty facilities and hostels), commercial (retail and office), institutional (largely through plot leases), hospitality (hotels, wedding and banquet halls), tourism and leisure and social (education, healthcare and other facilities). As set out in the following table, our villa and hospitality related real estate transactions which we refer to as sale/lease transactions are structured such that the purchasers purchase the structures, but they typically only obtain a 999-year leasehold interest (and in some cases 99 year or 198 year leasehold interest) in the underlying land which allows our governance platform to maintain control over our development pursuant to our development plan. Our remaining real estate transactions comprising of villas, plot leases, rental housing, retail, education, tourism and leisure and healthcare which we refer to as pure leases are typically structured as long-term lease for 999 years. We typically receive and acquire the lease premiums with respect to leases relating to our transactions and our pure lease

114

transactions in tranches with only a nominal annual rent. For more information, see Our governance platform on page 131. Type of Product Villas Description of Transactions We typically sell the constructed structures to customers. The relevant underlying land is owned by us and granted on a lease (typically for a period of 999 years) to customers. We receive a nominal annual lease rental (Re. 1 per annum) in addition to the premiums and the premiums are either a one-time payment or payable in tranches. We typically enter into agreements to lease (typically 999 years) in connection with apartments developed by us. The relevant land, the building/s on which the apartments are situated and the common spaces of the said building/s are still owned by us, and are not leased, licensed or sold to customers. We have leased a parcel of land for a period of 999 years to RHL, and have consented to RHL to develop a rental housing project for persons working in Lavasa. In addition, we sold RHL an aggregate of 160,000 sq. ft. of built up area. RHL is required to pay a yearly rent of ` 1 per annum per sq. mtr. as annual lease rent and a lease premium payable in 10 tranches with first payment at the execution of the agreement and remaining based on the percentage of completion. RHL in turn would lease out such rental housing accommodations for a periodical rent. We leased a parcel of land for a period of 999 years to Ashiana Housing Limited, and have consented to Ashiana Housing Limited to develop an assisted and retiree housing project and the entire lease premium has been paid upfront by Ashiana Housing Limited. We typically structure our hospitality transactions as follows: Lease of land/sale of the right to develop: We typically grant our hospitality related Subsidiaries or Associates a leasehold interest pursuant to a 999 year lease in the underlying land and sell them development rights or a permissible amount of developable area. We receive nominal yearly lease rents and lease premiums relating to the lease of the land as well as the sale of the permissible developable area (either paid at the time of execution of the lease deed or in a number tranches (not necessarily periodical)). This is our most common hospitality real estate structure and we have followed this approach with, for example, Mercure Lavasa, Novotel Lavasa and Double Tree by Hilton. Long-term lease of the structure: We grant our hospitality related Subsidiaries or Associates a long-term leasehold interest in a structure which we developed. The lease premiums are collected upfront or in tranches within a stipulated time period as agreed. Long-term lease of the land: We grant a long-term leasehold interest pursuant to a 999 year lease in the underlying land along with the right to develop subject to the permissible area under the lease agreement.

We lease land to educational institutions pursuant to 999 year leases where no part of the transaction is structured as a sale. We receive a nominal annual lease rental in addition to the premiums and the premiums are a one-time payment.

The following table sets out our aggregate real estate leased or built up structures sold or in relation to which we have signed term sheets or entered into agreements to lease up to June 30, 2010: Property Type Residential Commercial Institutional Hospitality Social Total Aggregate Units 1,884 Aggregate acres 3 203.61 93.97 227.01 Aggregate sq. ft. 2,941,046 322,657 2,070,292 2,688,084 3,130,334 10,829,756

We have leased on long term basis 411.71 acres of land through lease deeds and approximately 25.34 acres of land through agreements to lease with permissible developable areas of 5,727,725 sq. ft. and 852,584 sq. ft. respectively to various customers in the commercial, institutional, hospitality and social (including education) sectors. Further, we have entered into MoUs and signed term sheets for leasing on a long term basis 90.54 acres of land with a permissible developable area of 1,328,401 sq. ft. to various customers in the commercial, institutional, hospitality and social (including education) sectors.

Residential real estate Our portfolio of residential products includes villas, apartments, rental housing, staff, faculty and student accommodations in the form of hostels and specialised housing units such as retiree homes. Villas Our villas are aesthetically designed and we have leased land and sold villas (including sale of structures) and expect to continue to construct three main types: lake facing, valley facing and golf course facing. Our villas typically have ground floor plus one storey or ground floor plus two-storey structures with sloping roofs, spacious rooms and large windows. Villas in Dasve range from 1/8th of an acre to two acres. We expect that our villas will be clustered in the villages of Dhamanohol, Gadle, Wadavli and Sakhari, subject to demand across our various villages. As of June 30, 2010, we have executed and registered agreements to lease the land and sell the structures thereon for 337 villas and have issued allotment letters (where the agreements to lease with respect to such allotment letters are pending execution and/or registration) in connection with the lease of 124 villas. Further, we have completed construction of 110 villas.

116

Further, we have executed and registered agreements to lease for 110 villa plots while we have issued allotment letters (where the agreements to lease with respect to such allotment letters are pending execution and/or registration) in connection with the lease of the remaining 17 villa plots. Further, we have entered into agreements with certain of the lessees whereby we will construct the villas on such plots and the construction of 52 such villas has commenced. Apartments We construct apartments and typically lease them. Most of the apartments will be located at the town centre and be lake facing. The apartments are functional, have adequate cross-ventilation and covered balconies and sizes range from studio to three-bedroom apartments. As of June 30, 2010, we have executed and registered agreements to lease in connection with the lease of 548 apartments and have issued allotment letters (where the agreements to lease with respect to such allotment letters are pending execution and/or registration) in connection with the lease of 348 apartments. Further, we have completed construction of 91 apartments. Rental housing We plan to offer residential rental units for housing support staff working in our hotels, residences, education, businesses and other facilities. This, we expect, would benefit the support staff and will also have social amenities built within it. As of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we have entered into a lease agreement with RHL to construct and sell an aggregate of 160,000 sq. ft. of rental housing to RHL along with lease of underlying land, leading to development of approximately 399 rental housing units. As of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we have completed construction of 206 rental units and another 193 are under construction. Retiree housing Ashiana Housing Limited, a chain of retiree real estate developers in India, is developing Utsav, a retirement village at Dasve. Utsav is expected to have 500 residential units, spread across 31 acres at Dasve. We have leased land to Ashiana Housing Limited on long term basis for purposes of the project and accordingly our revenues are in the form of lease premiums. We have entered into a term sheet to form an associate, in which we expect to own 26% stake, with the remaining stake being held by RPG International Limited, UAE, for developing 207,185 sq. ft. of assisted and retiree housing at Mugaon to be spread over approximately 15.86 acres. The development is expected to commence operations by December 2012. Hostel We have entered into an agreement with Money Matters Advisory Services Limited to invest in our subsidiary, Green Hills Residences Limited. We have entered into a lease agreement to transfer a developable area of 197,462 sq. ft along with an interest in the undivided underlying land to the subsidiary to run its hostel facilities and further lease out the hostel facilities to educational institutions. Commercial real estate Our portfolio of commercial real estate is comprised of real estate related to our retail and office space businesses. Retail real estate We plan to develop our real estate around the densely populated town centres. In order to do this effectively, we have organised the retail business under our subsidiary, DRL. Pursuant to six lease deeds executed with DRL, we have leased 106,384 sq. ft. of retail space in various buildings constructed, under construction and/or proposed to be constructed on the various parcels of land to DRL for the purpose of setting up and operating retail, food and beverage and other such outlets. As of June 30, 2010, DRL has leased out 28,249 sq. ft. to various brands through leave and licence agreements and has also signed term sheets for the lease of a further 11,757 sq. ft.

117

Office space Our office spaces, which we expect will benefit from the Mumbai Pune economic corridor due to our proximity to the two cities, comprise standalone buildings and campus developments. We plan to construct and lease buildings which combine functional efficiency and aesthetic appeal. We generally intend to rent these units to end-tenants. We expect to develop the stand-alone buildings targeted at IT/ITeS companies in the SEZ format and other offices in the non SEZ format. The first stand-alone building is currently under development in Dasve. Features of this office space will include power and water supplies, fire-fighting systems, IT systems, parking, and high speed elevators. The application filed by our wholly owned subsidiary, Future City Multiservices SEZ Limited to develop a 250 acres multi-services SEZ in Dhamanohol is pending with the Commerce Ministry, Government of India. Hospitality real estate We aim to offer hotels of various categories ranging from budget to high-end hotels and have been granted mega status by the Tourism and Cultural Affairs Department, Government of Maharashtra under the Tourism Policy 2006 of the Government of Maharashtra in connection with the our proposed tourism project at Lavasa Hill Station at Taluka Mulshi and Tehsil Velhe falling under 'C' zone. For more information related to our hospitality business, see Our hospitality business. As part of our overall strategy, we expect to form subsidiaries and/or associates to own these hospitality assets with recognised operators managing assets. We also expect to divest various stakes in these subsidiaries or associates to third parties. However, in some cases, we grant a long-term leasehold interest pursuant to a 999 year lease in the underlying land along with the right to develop subject to the developable area permissible under the lease agreement. As of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, approximately 253 rooms are operational and another 458 rooms are under construction and development. Tourism and leisure real estate We have leased certain parcels of land to FSAL for a period of 999 years and have given consent to FSAL to develop an adventure and training institute that will offer multi sports activities, water sports, adventure sports and training academy relating to personality development programs. FSAL is required to pay a nominal yearly rent (per sq. mtr. for the lease of the land), and a one-time lease premium. Social Real Estate Education Real Estate Education is, in our view, one of our main economic drivers. The educational facilities present at Lavasa can be broadly categorised as primary, secondary, tertiary and continuing education. We develop educational institutes in two different revenue formats: 1. By way of long term land leases to educational institutions, for instance, to Symbiosis Society, Christ University and NSHM Academy; and Through our ownership interest in subsidiaries and/or associates, such as Knowledge Vistas and Dasve Hospitality Institutes Limited whereby we indirectly share in ongoing revenues.

2.

In this section, we have described our leases of land to educational institutions pursuant to 999-year leases. We receive a nominal annual lease rental (on a per square foot basis) in addition to the premiums and the premiums are either a one-time payment or payable in tranches. For more information related to our education consumption business where we additionally share in the ongoing revenues of the schools, see Education on page 129. Our education real estate business is comprised of primary, secondary, tertiary and continuing education institutions. Primary and Secondary Education

118

We intend to have primary and secondary educational institutions located at Lavasa. We aim to develop our education business by providing access to modern infrastructure and support facilities for educational institutions and research organisations. Christel House Lavasa. Christel House Lavasa (CH Lavasa), a trust set up by us and Christel House India, will provide education, nutrition and healthcare to children from impoverished and underserved communities in and around Lavasa. The school will cater exclusively to children hailing from the economically disadvantaged sections of society. We expect that CH Lavasa will be housed in a modern building in the town of Dasve. CH Lavasa commenced operations in July 2010, with two sections each of grades kindergarten, first and second. Euroschool Education Trust. We have signed a term sheet with Euroschool Education Trust pursuant to which we will lease on long term basis 10 acres of land with a permissible built up area of 120,000 sq. ft. to them to build and operate a Eurokids School at Lavasa. The school is expected to commence its operations by June 2012. Kapila Krishi Udyog Limited.

Tertiary and continuing education We aim to set up management institutions in Period 1 of our development by seeking partners across a host of varied disciplines from institutions across the world. Our plan is to ensure greater representation of disciplines and introduce a wider range of specialisations in keeping with the infrastructure being developed. We also aim to set up the Lavasa Centre of Excellence (LCE) at Dasve for professional executive education. We expect that LCE will be spread across 160,000 sq. ft. (approximately) and will be home to a portfolio of certificate courses and management development programmes in all three disciplines humanities, social sciences and engineering/sciences. Christ University. We have entered into a lease deed with Christ University, Bangalore, under which we have, on long term basis, leased 20 acres of land in Dasve to Christ University for the purpose of construction and operation of an educational institution for management and science programmes.

NSHM has leased 20 acres of land on a 999 year basis in our second town for the purpose of building the facility. The campus would host a portfolio of courses in areas such as retail management, media, communications, design and management. The total built up area for the land leased cannot exceed 350,000 sq. ft. Healthcare real estate We have entered into exclusive arrangements with Apollo Hospitals Enterprise Limited, a recognised Indian healthcare provider in the private sector, for the setting up and management of our subsidiary Apollo Lavasa Health Corporation Limited and for health and wellness development at Lavasa covering primary hospitals, wellness research development and medical education. As of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, our subsidiary has started operations of a 60 bed multispecialty hospital in Dasve.

Our infrastructure business We define our infrastructure business as planning, developing, owning and managing (which includes operations, maintenance and revenue collection) our infrastructure assets. We develop and own major infrastructure assets related to dams, water, sewerage, drainage, solid waste management, power distribution within Lavasa, telecommunications, roads and lighting and landscaping and propose to own future assets to be created. Based on our engineer certificate dated August 11, 2010, on the land that we own and have developed as of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we expect to treat 100% sewage and solid waste generated in our city, we expect to have 100% piped water, sewage and septic tank coverage, our storm water drains are expected to cover 120% of our road network and we have designed our water supply to deliver 216 litre per capita per day, all of which, according to MGI, are better than or comparable to current best-in-class standards. (Source: India's urban awakening: Building inclusive cities, sustaining economic growth, Mckinsey Global Institute April 2010). Statistical data on the progress of our various infrastructure segments as of June 30, 2010 are set out below. There can be no assurance that we will be able to develop the entire remaining infrastructure. For risks relating to our infrastructure, see Risk Factors on page xii. Water We have installed a treatment capacity of 3.4 MLD and are currently developing another 22.9 MLD out of total final planned capacity of 65 MLD; We have installed distribution pipelines of 35.5 kilometres and are currently developing another 34.29 kilometres out of total final planned capacity of 325 kilometres; and Out of 10 planned dams, we have completed one dam and are currently developing another three dams.

120

Roads Out of a total planned 263 kilometres of internal road network, we have completed 40 kilometres and are currently developing another 42.5 kilometres; We are currently developing the Mugaon tunnel that we expect would reduce access time to Lavasa; and Out of 50 kilometres of inter village roads planned, we have completed 37 kilometres and are currently developing the remaining 13 kilometres.

Power Out of the total connected load of 500 MW, we have completed 34 MW and are currently developing another 51 MW; We have installed a distribution network of 36.5 kilometres and are currently developing another 39 kilometres out of total final planned capacity of 422 kilometres; and We have installed a transmission network of 12.5 kilometres and are currently developing another 19.79 kilometres out of a total final planned capacity of 187 kilometres.

Sewerage

We have installed a collection network of 51.5 kilometres and are currently developing another 28.25 kilometres out of a total final planned capacity of 462 kilometres; We have installed a storm drainage network of 33 kilometres and are currently developing another 39.60 kilometres out of a total final planned capacity of 315 kilometres; and We have installed a treatment capacity of 2.4 MLD and are currently developing another 20 MLD out of total final planned capacity of 58.5 MLD.

Solid Waste Dams and water

We have installed treatment capacity of 0.8 tpd and are currently developing capacity of 51 tpd out of a total planned 97 tpd; and Vermicomposting rechnique is being implemented on a pilot basis.

We expect our aggregate water requirement for our estimated residential population of 300,000 and estimated annual tourist population of two million by 2021 to be 891 million cubic feet (mcft). We expect that this requirement will be met by rainfall in the catchment area of the existing two dams and by the eight new check-dams that we have been granted permission to build. In September 2002, we executed an agreement with the MKVDC pursuant to which we were granted permission to construct, at our cost, two check-dams in the submergence area of the Warasgaon dam and six check-dams outside the submergence area but within the catchment area of the Warasgaon dam. The total capacity of the eight checkdams is expected to be 871 mcft. In December 2003, we executed a similar agreement with the Irrigation Department of the Government of Maharashtra pursuant to which we were granted permission to construct two check-dams with a total capacity of 160 mcft on the catchment areas of the west-flowing rivers in Dhamanohol village. The total capacity of the 10 dams is expected to be 1,031 mcft. These dams, particularly those at Dasve and Gadle, would create permanent bodies of water in these towns enabling the development of lakefront real estate. Within the allocation of 871 mcft of water from the Warasgaon catchment area, we are also seeking approval from the MKVDC to construct an additional check-dam in our second town in the submergence area of the Warasgaon dam. Without depriving the Warasgaon dam of its present storage, we plan to

121

create additional bodies of water in the area to make Lavasa more self-sufficient with respect to its water needs. We also plan to recycle 80% of the water used for domestic purposes and re-use it for flushing, landscaping, irrigating mass plantation and construction. For risks relating to the satisfaction of our water requirements see Risk Factors Our water requirements may not be met due to hydrological conditions or water flows inconsistent with our expectations and there are certain water bodies contiguous with Lavasa that we will not be able to access on page xxvii. We currently manage the collection, treatment and distribution of our water. The drinking water treatment system is presently operational in Dasve and produces potable water meeting Indian standard drinking water specifications (IS-10500). In the future, we expect that our infrastructure subsidiary will manage future water collection, treatment and distribution. Water charges have already been decided including a fixed and a variable fee for water service. They will be adjusted annually to include sufficient funds to recover operations, maintenance, capital replacement and overhead costs, plus repayment to us for a portion of the capital cost incurred. Sewage and drainage Our waste water system was designed according to industry norms and involves the establishment of large sewerage treatment plants (STPs) and collection networks in densely populated zones that would treat waste water to meet standards prescribed by regulation. Modular STPs are planned for sparsely populated zones to minimise the cost of the collection network. The 2.4 million litres per day sewerage system is presently operational in Dasve. Waste water is treated to near-drinking water quality, substantially exceeding the quality of raw water in Warasgaon Lake. It is then used for irrigation, construction purposes and other non-potable uses in Lavasa. We currently manage the treatment and disposal of waste water. In the future, we expect that our subsidiary would be responsible for the collection, treatment and disposal of waste water and maintenance of the network and STPs. The operation, maintenance, customer billing and cost recovery for the sewerage system has been integrated with the water system and we expect that the invoices to be issued to customers will include charges for water and sewer services as a single service. Power Our primary source of power is the 110 KV transmission line laid from Tata Power's existing grid network at Nive, which is approximately 16 kilometres from Lavasa. A main receiving station (MRS) was established at Bhoini, one of the villages falling within the notified hill station area which has installed capacity of 50 MW. In the future, we expect that our infrastructure subsidiary will be responsible for the internal transmission of power, power quality monitoring, generation of alternative energy to be fed into the distribution system at the MRS, maintenance of generator back-up of sub-stations and related power functions. Roads Lavasa is located approximately 42 kilometres from Chandni Chowk, a suburb of Pune. Prior to the commencement of construction of Lavasa, access to the project site was through a 70 kilometre drive from Pune to the Warasgaon dam, followed by a 20 kilometre boat ride to the project site. Our initial focus was to enhance accessibility of the project to Pune city. To achieve this, a subsidiary of HCC in which we own a 10% interest, has widened and improved a road 31.8 kilometres in length on a BOT basis which is currently operational and which has reduced driving time from Pune to Lavasa. This road ends at Mutha village beyond which a 17.3 kilometre road from Mutha to Lavasa's entry gate was developed by us. A 9.5 kilometre public road from Mutha to Temghar was widened and improved and a new 7.8 kilometre hill road from Temghar to Lavasa's entry gate was constructed by us. We are also widening and improving a third access to Lavasa through a six kilometre road up to Mugaon. Since a part of this road is a steep hill road we intend to construct a 2 kilometre tunnel (including an approach road of 800 metres) to ease the movement across the Mugaon hills. In-principle approval from the Ministry of Environment and Forest, Government of India has been obtained and the work is expected to commence in October 2010. Within Lavasa we have a mandate from the Zilla Parishad, Pune to widen, improve and maintain inter-village roads from Warasgaon to Wadavali along the Warasgaon lake edge. We have completed construction of 40 kilometres of

122

external/internal roads between different towns. We have also completed construction of 37 kilometres out of a total of 50 kilometres of planned intra-village roads which connect the different towns within Lavasa. Lighting Our lighting activities are comprised of street lighting, lighting in common areas and lighting in common public areas. We maintain and operate streetlights on all our internal, external and intra-village roads as per Indian Roads Congress guidelines. We install the streetlights concurrently with the construction of our roads, the lights in the buildings at the completion of the construction and the lights in the open areas concurrently with the landscaping of the area. Costs for developing, operating and maintaining public realm lighting are recovered from maintenance charges collected against all residential and commercial properties in Lavasa on a developed square foot basis. Landscaping Our approach in relation to development of our landscape is to gracefully transition the native forest habitat into the urban environment while attempting to minimise the impact of development on the character of the Sahyadri mountains. We have a range of indigenous species and mass plantation and hydro-seeding aims to ensure the restoration with diverse mix of native species. Top soil is preserved and re-used. The preservation of the character and flow of the natural streams is also a priority of our development efforts. Our city management team The city management team will be responsible over the long term for ensuring that the quality of life, daily service delivery and community experience at Lavasa is demonstrably different than the quality of life, service quality and overall community experience to be found in other Indian cities. To accomplish this aim, we have divided the city management team into six departments: public works, safety and security, enterprise utilities, property management, administration and finance and corporate and civic participation. In addition to normal operational responsibilities, managers in the city management team oversee the assets of our Subsidiaries created specifically to provide municipal-like functions and services (power, water and sewer, rental housing and the facility management services). We also employ a city manager, Scot Wrighton, with over 20 years of international experience in city management in the states of Illinois, Kansas and Missouri in the USA. Public works department Our public works department will be comprised of 12 Lavasa employees plus contracted personnel responsible for managing public amenities, our streets and public areas (including parks, promenades, lighting, pedestrian facilities, public rest rooms, horticulture, storm drainage systems) and providing environmentally sound, efficient and costeffective solid waste and recycling services. Costs for developing, operating and maintaining public works services are recovered primarily from maintenance charges assessed against all residential and commercial properties in Lavasa on a developed square foot basis. These revenues are supplemented by minor fees for services such as special waste disposal and other service-driven assessments. Public works assets will be managed by a separate subsidiary. Safety and security Safety and security at Lavasa is proposed to be provided through two separate levels: first, a police force provided by the Government of Maharashtra and totally under the supervision of the state police; and second, a Lavasatrained and recruited mobile patrolling security force which is expected to be comprised initially of about 15 personnel for each town, plus necessary contracted security guards and traffic wardens, all under the supervision of our city management team. Lavasa safety and security personnel will, however, work closely with the state police. The bulk of day-to-day safety and security work will be performed by Lavasa-employed or Lavasa-contracted personnel, but they will have to rely on state police to intervene in cases of serious crime, arrest and criminal investigation. In addition, we are constructing a modern fire station and fire hydrants; portions of this system are already operational. In the future we intend to construct a police station for the Maharashtra State Police which will include

123

a detention area. Our security force will be complimented by our electronic security system which will comprise of optical fibre cables networks, communication and mobile phone towers, cameras, sensors and data centres. Security communications and an emergency answering centre for all of Lavasa will be housed at the Dasve Public Safety Centre. Each home at Lavasa includes a home solution or basic security features, such as an emergency response button and our community solution relates to various security points throughout Lavasa, including surveillance cameras and radio communication devices. Residents will be able to contract with My City Technology and other vendors for value-added security services, such as specialised alarm systems. Costs for developing, operating and maintaining safety and security services are recovered primarily from maintenance charges assessed against all residential and commercial properties in Lavasa on a developed square foot basis. These revenues are supplemented by minor fees for services such as special/extra security services and safety inspection fees. Safety and security assets will be managed by separate subsidiary. Enterprise utilities We expect that our enterprise utilities department will be comprised of 34 employees and is responsible for managing our water and sewer systems including managing the collection, treatment, distribution and disposal of our water, maintaining reliable power service by providing internal transmission and maintenance activities, including power quality monitoring and end-user metering. Billing and collection of utility revenues is performed by a separate department of city management services. The services and operations of the enterprise utilities department have been arranged to eventually be completely operationally self-supporting through utility revenues once the number of customers reaches projected levels. Property management We expect that our property management department will comprise of 18 employees and will be responsible for assisting the sales/business development department in the final handover and transfer of residential and commercial real estate to the end-user. Our property management department is responsible for enforcing our building code and managing customer service centres focused on giving residents and guests 24 hour access to information about services available at Lavasa. Our property management department also manages the services and assets of RHL. Costs for developing, operating and maintaining property management services are expected to be recovered primarily from maintenance charges assessed against all residential and commercial properties in Lavasa on a developed square foot basis. Property management assets will be overseen by a separate subsidiary. Administration and finance We expect that our administration and finance department will be comprised of 33 employees and will be responsible for providing internal support to our city management team and our other departments for communications and vehicle services, office space allocation and management, labour colony management, as well as centralised financial management of city management transactions and external city management billing. Costs for developing, operating and maintaining administration and finance services are recovered primarily from maintenance charges assessed against all residential and commercial properties in Lavasa on a developed square foot basis and charges to subsidiary and other departments for services rendered on actual cost or cost-plus basis. Corporate and civic participation We expect that our corporate department will be comprised of three employees and will be responsible for tending to the social and service needs of villages and transient labourers who choose to take up permanent residence in Lavasa. It is housed in city management because it is an extension of customer service responsibilities, but it is anticipated that it will be financially supported both by general revenues from city management and by contributions of Lavasa and its Promoters as an extension of its corporate social responsibility goals. Our civic participation department is also an extension of corporate function and as such they are responsible for encouraging our residents to participate in governance through citizen advisory boards, e-Governance whereby residents can pay applicable charges, manage land deeds, certificates and surveys and provide feedback about our services.

124

City Management Starting in FY 2012, we expect that certain city management functions would be executed by separate subsidiaries and that CMS will complete its migration to a separate corporate entity. As of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, our CMS subsidiaries are comprised of the following entities: Whistling Thrush Facilities Services Limited, Warasgaon Power Supply Limited, Sahyadri City Management Limited and Warasgaon Infrastructure Providers Limited. While none of these entities are currently operational, we may in the future transfer and vest our infrastructure assets and their operational maintenance in these companies. Our consumption business We expect to generate income on an ongoing basis based on the consumption of residents, visitors and workers within the city. We expect to have a direct or indirect participation in the hospitality, education, hotels, hospitals, retail and tourism and leisure businesses of Lavasa. In most cases, we intend to maintain an equity stake in the subsidiary developed for the purpose, thus providing an ongoing stream of income from consumer spending in Lavasa. For more information related to our Subsidiaries and Associates, see History and Certain Corporate Matters and Our Subsidiaries and Associates on pages 142 and 173 respectively. Our hospitality consumption business Our hospitality consumption business is comprised of our hotels, convention centres and clubs. For details of the Subsidiaries and Associates for the hospitality consumption business, see section titled History and Certain Corporate Matters on page 142. Hotels, clubs and convention centres A material part of our development plan is devoted to our hospitality and convention business, and the aim is to turn Lavasa into a convention destination that will attract meetings, exhibitions, corporate events, training and development and national and international conventions. We expect that this business would primarily be the bulk of our tourist business during the week. Additionally, we plan to create a tourist destination with theme parks and several other similar entertainment attractions which will draw people from neighbouring cities which would form the tourist business over the weekends. Accommodation at Lavasa will range from ` 1,500 to ` 2,000 for budget properties to ` 7,000 to ` 9,000 for highend properties. We also plan to introduce a variety of food and beverage options to cater to different types of tourists and residents. Fortune Select Dasve We have developed the Fortune Select Dasve hotel. While we maintain ownership of the hotel, we have entered into a managing agreement with our wholly owned subsidiary Lavasa Hotel Limited pursuant to which we have granted the right to manage this hotel to Lavasa Hotel Limited.

The 200guest room business hotel is expected to be operational in FY 2013. The Waterfront Shaw We have developed service apartments at Dasve, which we continue to own as of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. A service apartment is a rental facility, such as a hotel, where guests typically stay for a few days or a few weeks. Service apartments have amenities traditionally associated with hotels and in particular are fully furnished with security surveillance. Service apartments are usually less expensive than moderately priced hotels because the pricing structure is predicated on longer duration stays. We have granted the right to manage these service apartments to Bona Sera, our associate which, as of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, is 26% owned by us and 74% owned by Shawman Software Private Limited. Bona Sera has also entered into a management contract with Shawman Hospitality Limited to manage the service apartments.

Dasve Service Apartments We have formed Our Home Service Apartments Limited, which is expected to develop 100,000 sq. ft. of service apartments at Dasve. We intend that these service apartments would be managed by a third party operator and are expected to be operational by the end of FY 2013.

127

We have developed the Lavasa International Convention Centre at Dasve. While we maintain ownership of the convention centre, we expect to grant the right to operate this convention centre to our wholly owned subsidiary Dasve Convention Center Limited. We also have entered into a management contract with AAPC Singapore Pte. Ltd. to manage and operate the convention centre.

Further, we have entered into an agreement with OASE Asia Pacific Pte Limited for the supply of a multi media fountain which will have the facility for laser and sound shows and a central 60 metre high jet. Tourism and leisure Together with our partners, we intend to offer various tourism and leisure amenities such as golf training, boating, nature trails, water sports, outdoor sports, adventure sports, theme based entertainment parks with an intention to draw visitors. We have arrangements in place with Space Investment Corporation LLC to set up a space themed entertainment park and have signed a term sheet with I Dream Productions Private Limited for developing an Indiacentric theme park. We are additionally developing sports related training programs with recognised professionals and companies. For further details, see Our education consumption business Training institutes on page 130.

Pursuant to an addendum dated June 23, 2010, we shall hold 40% in the space theme park and our partner shall hold the balance 60% equity stake. We expect that the space themed entertainment park will be a key tourist attraction. The space themed entertainment park will provide entertainment, lodging, shopping and training to visitors through various modules under licensing agreement, support and business operations guidelines from the SIC and the United States Space and Rocket Center. This project will operate under the brand names Space Camp System and Aviation Challenge System and will encompass approximately 65 acres in Mugaon and Dhamanohol. The project is expected to be developed in two phases and the first phase would include development of the dome and dormitory which is expected to be completed in FY 2012. Valley View Entertainment Limited

128

We intend to develop an amusement park at Lavasa pursuant to our wholly owned subsidiary Valley View Entertainment Limited. The project is expected to be developed by FY 2014. India-centric Theme Park Pursuant to a term sheet executed with I Dream Productions Private Limited, we have agreed to lease on a long term basis of 30 years, with an option to extend for another 30 years, a 43 acre piece of land in Mugaon to I Dream Productions Private Limited, for the development of an India-centric theme park. We will receive revenues of ` 0.50 million per month per acre as lease payments or 10% of the revenue, whichever is greater, from the theme park entity. Our education consumption business We intend to have primary, secondary, tertiary, continuing and training educational institutions located at Lavasa. In this section, we describe the education at Lavasa where we will have a share in the ongoing revenue of the institutions through (i) lease premiums or (ii) potential dividend payments from our Subsidiaries or Associates. We believe that our education consumption business will benefit from a location which is uncluttered and planned to provide for the needs of such institutions which we believe will attract leading academics and students. In addition, we believe that our business will benefit from our varied long-term and short-term rental options for student and support staff housing, supported by our infrastructure and amenities. As of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we have entered into the following education consumption related businesses: Subsidiary/Associate Knowledge Vistas Limited Dasve Hospitality Institutes Limited -* Partner(s) Educomp Infrastructure and School Management Limited N.A. Birla Edutech Limited Project Residential school Ecole Hoteliere Lavasa International boarding school Our Share 49% 100% 40%

* The name of the company has not yet been decided.

For details of these agreements, see section titled History and Certain Corporate Matters on page 142. Primary and secondary education Residential School We expect to develop our residential school on approximately eight acres of land in Dasve town pursuant to our associate, Knowledge Vistas Limited. We currently own 49% of the equity of Knowledge Vistas Limited with Educomp Infrastructure and School Management Limited owning the remaining 51%. For further details of this arrangement, see Summary of Key Agreements /Scheme of Amalgamation in History and Certain Corporate Matters on page 148. We expect to receive returns on equity infusions in Knowledge Vistas Limited. The primary objective of Knowledge Vistas Limited is to provide quality education with an international curriculum to equip students to progress to appropriate universities. The academic facilities available in the school would include classrooms, auditoriums, assembly hall, science laboratories, music and drama rooms, art and design technology room, library and IT facilities. The outdoor facilities in the school would include gardening and outdoor sports facilities. The school is expected to be operational from academic year 2011. International boarding school

129

We have signed a MoU with Birla Edutech Limited for setting up an international boarding School at Lavasa. The proposed school will be spread across 30.5 acres in our second town and is expected to be amongst the largest school projects at Lavasa. The venture aims at providing a world school that is international in its outlook and the curriculum being developed is in keeping with recognised primary and secondary institutions. A teachers' training institute is also planned in the facility. The school is targeted for a 2012 academic year opening. We expect to hold 40% equity stake in the above school and accordingly expect to receive returns on our equity infusion. The estimated student intake at maturity is 960 students.

Lavasa Bamboocrafts Limited We have formed Lavasa Bamboocrafts Limited which, as of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, is our wholly owned subsidiary. Lavasa Bamboocrafts Limited deals in many kinds and forms of bamboos, canes, grass and agro forestry products. Our governance platform Pursuant to a notification dated June 12, 2008, issued under the MRTP Act, (SPA Notification), the Government of Maharashtra has appointed our Company as a special planning authority in connection with land owned and proposed to be developed by us. The SPA is our governance platform, which aims to ensure an optimum quality of life for our residents and visitors and benefits from exclusive development rights. In terms of the MRTP Act, the SPA is required to, from time to time, submit its proposals for the developments of the land in the area as detailed in the SPA Notification, (being land either currently owned by us or land which is proposed to be purchased by us), (Statutory Proposals), to the State Government after having invited and considered suggestions and objections from the public. The State Government may in turn, after consultation with the Director of Town Planning, approve such Statutory Proposals either with or without modification. The Statutory Proposals are required to be prepared taking into consideration the provisions of any regional plan or a draft thereof, any development plan, building bye-laws and regulations, which are already in force in the area notified under the SPA Notification. Prior to the SPA Notification, pursuant to a letter dated June 7, 2008, the Office of the Collector, Revenue Department, District Pune, has approved and granted permission to our Company for our proposed development at Village Dasve and Padalghar for a total area of 636.82 hectares.

131

Currently, the draft Statutory Proposals for land owned and proposed to be developed by us has been approved by the SPA and is pending publication amongst others in the official gazette and local newspapers, for public review and receipt of public suggestions and objections thereon. Consequently, this draft Statutory Proposals, after having considered the objections and suggestions received from the public, as appropriate, shall be submitted to the State Government for its approval. The SPA also approves certain draft development control regulations applicable to the land under the control and jurisdiction of the SPA (the Lavasa DCRs), which are required to be subsequently approved by the State Government. The Lavasa DCRs are required to be within the framework of the regional plan, which includes the Hill Station Regulations and the development control rules, regulations, and notifications issued by the State Government of Maharashtra, as applicable to the notified area in the Pune district (the Pune Region DCRs). Thus, the SPA prepares the Statutory Proposals and the Lavasa DCRs and supervises and ensures that all development within the city is in accordance with the Statutory Plan, the Lavasa DCRs, the master plan designed by our Company with HOK International Limited and applicable statutory, regulatory and other requirements. For risks related to the Statutory Proposals including potential impacts on our development plan, see Risk Factors Our ability to develop Lavasa in accordance with our proposed designs and development plan, in a timely manner or at all may be adversely affected if the State Government does not approve the proposals for development of Lavasa prepared by the SPA, in a timely manner or at all, or suggests material modifications to such proposals on page xiv. Our intellectual property We will consider undertaking similar city development projects on an opportunistic basis and applying our Lavasa related industry and market knowledge to such opportunities. We believe that our experience in designing and developing the infrastructure, industrial structures and town planning and management at Lavasa, on the one hand, as well as our pre-existing relationships with recognised industry participants in the infrastructure, education, hospitality, tourism and town planning and management sectors, on the other hand, will give us a competitive advantage in winning and efficiently executing such future projects. We have entered into a consultancy agreement dated September 9, 2010 with our Promoters, pursuant to the terms of which, HCC/HREL and/or its affiliates conferred exclusively upon our Company, in relation to undertaking development of new cities, the right to develop, operate, manage and maintain such new cities and/or act as a consultant in relation thereto. In the event we propose to develop any new cities either by ourselves or through any of our Subsidiaries, neither our Promoters nor any of their affiliates shall have the right to develop such new city. In the event that the development of any new city is not proposed to be carried out by our Company or any of our Subsidiaries, our Promoters have agreed to appoint us as consultants to HCC, HREL, and/or any of their respective affiliates which propose to undertake such development. Any intellectual property, whether registered or not, pertaining to the development, operations, management, planning and maintenance of any future new cities shall vest exclusively with our Company. We are considering developing Dholera Special Investment Region in Gujarat. This potential development has a different concept and platform from Lavasa, but would be built on the foundations of our intellectual property. Our intellectual property may not be enforceable and we may compete with HCC with respect to future development opportunities. For additional risks, see Risk Factors We may not be able to ensure that we are able to participate in the development of future cities along with our Promoters HCC and/or HREL, and/or their affiliates. Further, our Promoters, HCC and/or HREL may have a conflict of interest with us in connection with future city development opportunities on page xxxiv. We have registered our trademark Lavasa under various classes such as class 16, 25, 35, 36, 37 and 39. Additionally, we have registered certain logos of our Subsidiaries and made applications for the registration of our logos and trademarks and those of our Subsidiaries. Our Development Process Flow Our business development, design, land and town planning, control cell, construction and Geographic Information System teams support our real estate and infrastructure businesses.

132

Business development Our business development team identifies synergistic commercial opportunities, serves as the liaison between current and potential partners and, together with specialist teams, structures and documents an advantageous corporate form. In addition, our subsidiary and associate teams arranges both debt and equity funding as needed, prepares business models and coordinates all company related issues. Design Following a brief from our business development team our design team is responsible for preparing tender drawings and estimated costs of construction and appointing architects and consultants. Town planning and SPA After a project is initially approved by our business development team, our town planning team identifies a land parcel based on suitability for the project. The team then defines various design parameters in terms of built up area, height of the building, open spaces and any other specifications specified in the master plan. Once the building design is finalised, the SPA approves the building plans and issues a commencement certificate. The SPA carries out the checking to confirm that the building complies with the Pune Region DCRs and the Lavasa DCRs. Upon completion the SPA issues an occupancy certificate after ensuring that all the necessary requirements for the occupancy certificate have been met. As of June 30, 2010, the SPA has issued 62 commencement certificates and five part occupancy and one occupancy certificate. Project control cell Our project control cell team is responsible for the pre-qualification of contractors and vendors and the awarding of work. We expect to follow HCC's vendors qualification policies with respect to the technical and financial qualification requirements of contractors and vendors which includes an evaluation of relevant experience, financial strength, availability of resources and construction plant and equipment, quality control procedures and satisfaction of licensing requirements. At the tender stage, our design team releases the bill of quantities (BOQ) to the control cell for comments which the design cell incorporates into a revised BOQ. Our control cell then prepares a comparative statement in view with existing rates, budgeted cost, rate analysis and based on offers received. Initial negotiations are held with contractors in the presence of the concerned vertical head so as to finalise the methodology and other technical aspect of the work. Pre-bid meetings with potential contractors are then held and following such meetings, the potential contractors are short listed and a recommendation note is sent to the relevant sanctioning authority within Lavasa for the award of the contract. Construction Our construction team is responsible for overseeing the contractors and the execution of the projects according to the BOQ and project specifications specified by our design team. Construction activities starts with a kick-off meeting with contractors selected for particular job and include the following ongoing activities: Monitoring compliance with environmental, safety and quality guidelines; Managing vendors with respect to the relevant area and the submission of a work plan along with a schedule of machinery and resource mobilisation plan; Monitoring work on day-to-day basis in line with the work plan; Maintaining budgetary control at every stage of construction to ensure expenditures are contained within the approved budget; Performing value engineering with a view to containing cost without compromising functionality and quality; Enforcing quality assurance and quality control as part of a separate team reporting directly to the construction head. Our quality control team is responsible for ensuring compliance of material and design specifications and quality of onsite activities; Managing coordination between all vendors involved with the job for smooth completion and handover;

133

Monitoring and certification of running bills as well as final bills; and Handing over of the completed properties to customers through our city management team. During handing over all necessary documents such as as-built drawings, O&M manuals, warranty and guaranty certificates, etc. are submitted to the customers through our city management team.

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Since inception, we have used GIS in many aspects. The planning of Lavasa is based on GIS and we leverage GIS technology, which involves the use of digital maps to depict on ground realities, to improve operational efficiency. The status of construction of the projects is depicted in the GIS by graphic and pictorial form. This enables site engineers and management to maintain the status of the projects. Nearly all aspects of our projects are digitally mapped on our GIS system. This single repository of project-wide information provides benefits to the planners and site engineers. Underground utilities are mapped by means of asbuilt surveys. Global positioning systems is also used to map tourist sites such as the nature trails, gardens and parks. In the long term, we expect that GIS will be used for day to day operations and maintenance. Further, we expect that it will be used to plan the security aspects, solid waste management, emergency response systems etc. The GIS will, we believe, be integrated with other IT deployments such as customer relationship management, document management systems and enterprise resource planning. In short, we expect that GIS implementation at Lavasa will allow for e-governance and our residents will have access to a single portal for all transactions. This will include grievance resolution, property tax payment, booking for special events and a host of other such features. GIS will be at the hub of these deployments and will, we believe, provide the residents with an optimum quality of lifestyle. Branding and Marketing We introduced our live, work, learn and play vision through various channels, such as a marketing centre at Lavasa, kiosks at key locations, signage on buses and cars and gift and merchandise promoting our brand. In addition, our website and websites for certain of our Subsidiaries, new advertisements campaigns and social media initiatives, such as Touchpoint, a quarterly newsletter and an e-newsletter, have helped disseminate information to customers and various stakeholders. The Lavasa Future Cities initiative is an initiative undertaken by Lavasa in association with the Times of India to sensitize and create awareness amongst the Indian public on the need for planned new cities. This campaign is aimed to create awareness amongst the Indian public on the need for new cities. The initiative also reviews existing cities to develop awareness of practices followed for city planning, governance, infrastructure development, basic necessities, environmental issues and technology. We hosted a city planning and governance summit in Mumbai in January 2010 which was an opportunity and a platform for business leaders, senior government representatives, town planners, architects and citizens to share and discover insights and strategies for shaping the existing and future cities of India. Our sustained marketing and branding efforts aim to ensure that our brand is considered a premium brand. Our Employees and Our CSR Human resources As of June 30, 2010 Lavasa Corporation Limited employ approximately 447 employees including engineers, technologists, scientists, commercial law specialists, urban designers and planners. The details of our employees are set forth below: Category No. of Employees

We have not experienced any materials strikes, work stoppages or action by or with our employees and we consider our relationship with our employees to be good. Corporate social responsibility and eco-friendly practices Development of village settlements (Gaothan) In Period 1 we have constructed 34 houses for villagers of Dasve village in the form of a resettlement colony. The residents have been allotted fully constructed houses ranging from 450 sq. ft. to 650 sq. ft. The resettlement colony has been provided with school building, roads, solar lights, toilets, and drains. We plan to follow a similar approach for villagers in Mugaon, Bhoini and Dhamanohol in Period 2. Crche As a part of our CSR initiative we own a crche in Bhoini. We have entered into an MOU with TaraMobile Crches which is non-governmental organisation that operates crches. Our Crche in Bhoini is designed for 400 children and it provides facilities such as a day care centre, food, education, entertainment, regular health camps and vocational training to children. Skills Training program We have signed a MoU with Career Launcher aimed at building capacities of people residing in Lavasa. This activity is part of the Lavasa initiative aimed at lifting the standards of the local community. The training modules offered are tailored to suit the needs and demands as per the opportunities available in the local market especially of Lavasa city management services team as well as other stakeholders like hotels, corporate institutions, tourismrelated ventures and residential property management. Rehabilitation Program Apart from resettlement we have implemented various rehabilitation programmes for original land owners and villagers to make them a part of the development of Lavasa. The programmes include the development of job skills such as training villagers to develop skills in bamboo craft with help from non-governmental organisations, entrepreneurship skills, and community development programmes which include the establishment of religious places, assistance for primary education, superstition eradication campaign, environmental awareness and construction of school buildings. As part of the programme, we provide contract jobs to villagers for various gardening jobs such as tree plantation, contour trenching, bush cutting, seed collection, mass plantation and fencing, encourage self-employment with jobs related to providing water, electricity and garbage disposal and provide drinking water and health services to villages where regular health checks up and vaccination programs regularly undertaken. New urbanism and biomimicry Our dedication to efficiently developing Lavasa is matched by our planning and adherence to New Urbanism, which organises all components of essential city life within walking distance and Biomimicry, which incorporates the concepts of nature into our design and construction to achieve synergy with nature and energy savings. New urbanism incorporates the Transect Planning Model which defines a series of zones that transition from sparse rural farmhouse to the dense urban core. Each zone is split into parts such that it contains a transition from the edge to the centre of the neighbourhood. New urbanism aims to promote sustainable natural resources through optimal utilization and minimal exploitation of the available natural resources. Our eco-conscious approach has earned us

135

international recognition and awards, including the Charter Awards for the Best Master Plan in 2005 by the Congress for the New Urbanism, based in the USA as well as the following three awards from the American Society of Landscape Architects: the Award of Excellence for the Dasve Master Plan in 2005, the Honour Award for the Mugaon Master Plan in 2009 and the Merit Award for Lavasa Landscape in 2010. We have signed an MoU with the Biomimicry Guild (the Guild) which covers two areas: firstly, education workshops wherein the Guild's work in education and consulting may include, but not be limited to: biomimicry trainings and consulting for Lavasa staff, local biologists, and designers; and, biomimicry seminars, workshops and retreats as part of corporate education initiatives offered at the Lavasa for external customers. Secondly, we and the Guild will work toward the development of a centre within existing facilities at Lavasa, aimed at showcasing the discipline of biomimicry. Hydroseeding To enable us to treat large areas in order to better prevent soil erosion and to facilitate re-vegetation, we brought in the technology of hydroseeding from the USA. A mixture of seeds, mulch, cellulosic tackifier (binding material), geobinder and water is thoroughly mixed in a 6,000 gallon machine and sprayed over a distance of approximately 100150 feet over barren slopes to prevent the soil erosion and facilitate quick re-vegetation. The result of this treatment is an improved percentage of germination of seeds. Information Communication and Technology We use information technology to enhance our performance and efficiency as well as the quality of life of our residents and visitors. We expect that our residents and visitors will have access to wireless, data and voice connectivity through seamless connectivity between Pune and Lavasa. We will encourage multiple operators to provide services in Lavasa and the competition is expected to result in quality services. We expect that each home at Lavasa will have advance network design which will enable the residents to enjoy various internet protocol-based services on high speed cabling, ethernet and wireless internet. Our e-home concept includes home automation, internet protocol-based communication and integrated security. We have entered into an agreement with Wipro to set up My City Technology to plan, implement and manage information and communication technology services across Lavasa. Further, we have entered into an agreement with a leading network industry player for divesting 18% of the share capital in My City Technology in favour of this industry player. My City Technology is committed to develop our technology infrastructure using the latest technology and trends. It will make all governance services available on web and to help our city management team provide governance to our residents. It will also provide the necessary infrastructure support including technology selection, supply, installation and management of various information technology platforms, networks, data centres etc. for our residents and business partners. For further details of this arrangement, see Summary of Key Agreements /Scheme of Amalgamation in History and Certain Corporate Matters on page 148. Insurance Our operations are subject to hazards inherent in real estate, infrastructure, city management, hospitality, water sports, adventure sports, health and tourism sectors, including accidents, collapse of structures, erosion, exposure to dangerous materials, such as certain solvents and risks related to machinery noise and manual handling activities. We maintain comprehensive insurance coverage for all of our projects under development as well as under operation with Oriental Insurance Company Limited. The insurance coverage we carry varies from project to project, but generally includes, among other things, losses related to earthquake, fire, flooding, inundation, accidents and general liability including our legal liability consequent to act of terrorism. Under our Comprehensive Project Insurance cum Operational Cover, we are also insured against our legal liability to pay damages for third party civil claims arising from bodily injury or property damage caused by an accident during project construction. We use an outside

136

broker to secure our insurance policies and believe that our coverage is adequate. We have not made any major claims under our insurance policies. Our Corporate and Registered Office, which is located at Hincon House, Lal Bahadur Shastri Marg, Vikhroli (West), Mumbai 400 083, is not owned by us. Pursuant to a letter dated November 2, 2009, our Promoter, HCC, has permitted us to share the premises located at 247 Park licensed to HCC by Vikhroli Corporate Park Private Limited. Under this arrangement, we are required to pay ` 14.57 million annually for the use of such premises.

A planning proposal is to be made by the SPA indicating the manner in which the land is going to be developed. The planning proposal would contain details regarding land use, construction and all other civic amenities and services intended to be provided by that authority. Any change in the use or development of any land which is part of a notified area or site for a new town requires the permission of the planning authority and it may revoke or modify the permission granted if it appears inconsistent with the planning proposal. All development permissions granted by the SPA shall be brought to the notice of the Assistant Director of Town Planning within a period of three months from the date of grant of permission. The MRTP Act empowers the SPA to levy development charges on the use, change of use or development of land for which permission is required at specified rates. The local authorities will make contributions towards the expenses incurred by the SPA as determined and fixed by the State Government, either in lump sum or in installments. The SPA is also entitled to borrow money from the open market and also receive deposits in relation to allotments and sale of land made in furtherance of the approved planning proposal. Special Regulation for Development of Tourist Resorts/ Holiday Homes/ Town Ships in Hill Station Type Areas, 1996 The Maharashtra Government passed the Hill Station Regulations in 1996 to permit the development of tourism sites. The Urban Development Department is empowered to declare any area at appropriate height, having suitable topographical features, for the purposes of the development, as a hill station. Hill station development is treated as an industry under the Hill Station Regulations. The developer can purchase agricultural land and use it for nonagricultural purposes. In this context, the condition that an agricultural land can be bought only by an agriculturist shall be waived and the ceiling of agricultural land holding shall not apply. The Bombay High Court in the matter of Bombay Environmental Action Group and Others v. State of Maharashtra and others has passed certain observations in relation to Regulation 19 and which have not yet been clarified by the State of Maharashtra and its applicability is not free from doubt. These regulations, amongst other things, provide that the developer shall provide all infrastructural facilities like storm water drains, drainage lines, electrical lines, drinking water and sewage disposal facilities. The developer may also provide for amenities like shopping malls, club houses, hospitals, schools, college,

138

golf course and helipad. The Hill Station Regulations also provide that 33% of the total area under development should be kept as open space/ garden/parks and the minimum size of residential plots should be 500 Sq. Mtrs. The power of planning lies with the Collector and all disputes with regard to the interpretation of any of the Hill Station Regulations will be decided by the State Government, whose decision shall be binding on the concerned parties. Tourism Policy of the Government of Maharashtra, 2006 (the Tourism Policy) The Tourism Policy was formulated in 2006, in order to develop tourism in Maharashtra in a systematic manner. It shall remain in force for a period of 10 years or until substituted by a new package scheme of incentives. Incentives under the Tourism Policy cover tourism projects in the private sector, state public sector/joint sector and the cooperative sector but not in the central public sector. The objectives of the Tourism Policy are to develop infrastructure at tourist destinations and ensure accessibility to tourist destinations. It also encourages public private partnership in tourism related activities and infrastructural development by providing fiscal and other incentives to private investors. The Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation Limited (the MTDC) shall be the notified authority for the purpose of registration, providing incentives, marketing and promotional activities. A tourism unit developing hill stations is an eligible unit for claiming incentives under the Tourism Policy. General steps to be taken for investment under the policy are as follows: A registration certificate has to be obtained from the MTDC.

Regular details need to be furnished to the State Government about commercial operations, employment and other matters. Additionally, quarterly details has to be submitted to MTDC about the benefits availed during the eligibility period. Any excess claims of incentives by a unit will be recovered with interest of 2% per month.

Property Related Laws Transfer of Property Act, 1882 (the TP Act) The TP Act establishes the general principles relating to transfer of property in India. It forms a basis for identifying the categories of property that are capable of being transferred, the persons competent to transfer property, the validity of restrictions and conditions imposed on the transfer and the creation of contingent and vested interest in the property. It also provides for the rights and liabilities of the vendor and purchaser in a transaction of sale of land. Registration Act, 1908 (the Registration Act)

139

The Registration Act has been enacted with the objective of providing public notice of the execution of documents affecting, inter alia, the transfer of interest in immovable property. The purpose of the Registration Act is the conservation of evidence, assurances, title and publication of documents and prevention of fraud. It details the formalities for registering an instrument. Section 17 of the Registration Act identifies documents for which registration is compulsory and includes, among other things, any non-testamentary instrument which purports or operates to create, declare, assign, limit or extinguish, whether in present or in future, any right, title or interest, whether vested or contingent, in any immovable property of the value of one hundred rupees or more, and a lease of immovable property for any term exceeding one year or reserving a yearly rent. A document will not affect the property comprised in it, nor be treated as evidence of any transaction affecting such property (except as evidence of a contract in a suit for specific performance or as evidence of part performance under the TP Act or as collateral), unless it has been registered. Evidence of registration is normally available through an inspection of the relevant land records, which usually contains details of the registered property. Further, registration of a document does not guarantee title of land. Indian Stamp Act, 1899 (the Stamp Act) Under the Stamp Act, 1899 stamp duty is payable on instruments evidencing a transfer or creation or extinguishment of any right, title or interest in immovable property. Stamp duty must be paid on all instruments specified under the Stamp Act at the rates specified in the schedules to the Stamp Act. The applicable rates for stamp duty on instruments chargeable with duty vary from state to state. Instruments chargeable to duty under the Stamp Act, which are not duly stamped, are incapable of being admitted in court as evidence of the transaction contained therein and it also provides for impounding of instruments that are not sufficiently stamped or not stamped at all. However, the instruments which have not been properly stamped can, in certain cases, be validated by paying a penalty of up to 10 times of the proper duty or deficient portion thereof payable on such instruments. Indian Easements Act, 1882 (the Easement Act) An easement is a right which the owner or occupier of land possesses for the beneficial enjoyment of that land and which permits him to do or to prevent something from being done, in or upon, other land not his own. Under the Easements Act, a license is defined as a right to use property without any interest in favour of the licensee. The period and incident may be revoked and grounds for the same may be provided in the license agreement entered in between the licensee and the licensor. STATE LAWS OF MAHARASHTA State legislations provide for the planned development of urban areas and the establishment of regional and local development authorities charged with the responsibility of planning and development of urban areas within their jurisdiction. Real estate projects have to be planned and developed in conformity with the norms established in these laws and regulations made there under and require sanctions from the government departments and developmental authorities at various stages. The Bombay Village Panchayats Act, 1958 The 73rd Amendment to the Constitution inserted Part IX to the Constitution of India (Constitution) which provides for the constitution and functioning of panchayats. Article 243-H (a) authorised the panchayats to levy, collect and appropriate such taxes, duties, tolls and fees in accordance with such procedure and subject to such limits. Accordingly, The Bombay Village Panchayats Act, 1958 was legislated to empower the panchayat to levy taxes on buildings and lands within the limits of the village, shop keeping and hotel keeping, trade or calling other than agriculture. The panchayat passes a resolution specifying the tax to be levied and the rate at which it is to be levied and then notify it to the public. Any person may in writing object to the levy of tax. The panchayat may, at a special meeting, pass a resolution to propose the abolition or variation of any tax already levied. The tax is primarily leviable from the actual occupier of the building or land, if such occupier is the owner of the building or land. If the land or building is occupied by the lessee, the tax is leviable from the lessor. Tax on shop-keeping and hotel-keeping is to be paid by the proprietor of the shop or hotel.

Bombay Stamp Act, 1958 (the Bombay Stamp Act) Stamp duty on instruments in the state of Maharashtra is governed by the Bombay Stamp Act. This act levies stamp duty on documents/instruments by which any right or liability is or purports to be created, transferred, limited, extended, extinguished or recorded. All instruments chargeable with duty and executed by any person are required to be stamped before or at the time of execution or immediately thereafter on the next working day following the day of execution. It authorises the State government on receiving information from any source, to call for examination of any instrument to satisfy itself that the market value of the property referred therein has been truly set forth and the duty paid on it is adequate. Instruments not duly stamped are incapable of being admitted in court as evidence of the transaction in question. The State government has the authority to impound insufficiently stamped documents. ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION The three major statutes in India which seek to regulate and protect the environment against pollution and related activities in India are the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act 1974, the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 and the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986. The basic purpose of these statutes is to control, abate and prevent pollution. In order to achieve these objectives, Pollution Control Boards (PCB) which are vested with diverse powers to deal with water and air pollution, have been set up in each state. The PCBs are responsible for setting the standards for maintenance of clean air and water, directing the installation of pollution control devices in industries and undertaking investigations to ensure that industries are functioning in compliance with the standards prescribed. These authorities also have the power of search, seizure, and investigation if the authorities are aware of or suspect pollution. In addition, the Ministry of Environment and Forests looks into Environment Impact Assessment. The Ministry of Environment and Forest receives proposals for expansion, modernization and setting up of projects and the impact which such projects would have on the environment is assessed by the Ministry of Environment and Forest before granting clearances for the proposed projects.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations together with the Financial Statements, the notes and significant accounting policies thereto and the reports thereon, in "Financial Statements". The Financial Statements are based on Indian GAAP, which differ in certain significant respects from U.S. GAAP and IFRS. Accordingly, the degree to which the Financial Statements in this DRHP will provide meaningful information to a prospective investor in countries other than India is entirely dependent on the reader's level of familiarity with Indian accounting practices. Our financial year ends on March 31 of each year, so all references to a particular Fiscal year are to the twelvemonth period ended March 31 of that year. This discussion contains forward-looking statements and reflects our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. Given these uncertainties, prospective investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in "Risk Factors" and "Our Business" on page xii and page 52, respectively. In this section, acquisition of land refers to land purchased by us directly from landowners through private negotiations. In addition, sale of land refers to lease of land on a long term basis and FSI refers to developable area which we lease on a long term basis. Overview We are a city development and management company engaged in the development, construction and management of Lavasa, a hill city development in India. The state of Maharashtra has declared an area of 18 villages in Mulshi and Velhe Tehasil in the district of Pune as a hill station, measuring approximately 23,014 acres (based on our internal estimates pursuant to review of available land records). As of September 10, 2010, we have purchased approximately 9,460 acres of largely contiguous land within this designated area. We were granted an in-principle approval by the state of Maharashtra to develop this land which was separately notified as a hill station pursuant to which we maintain exclusive development rights over the land owned by us. Our vision is to develop Lavasa as a city which provides avenues for its residents and visitors to live, work, learn and play in harmony with nature. The area declared as a hill station is almost one-fifth of the land area of Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) and includes submerged land of 4,320 acres (Source: www.mcgm.gov.in and internal project report prepared by our planning department). Based on the land we own or have entered into MoUs and/or agreements to purchase as of September 10, 2010 measuring 13,226 acres, we estimate that Lavasa can accommodate a permanent population of approximately 300,000 with facilities for approximately two million tourists per annum. Cities comprise a myriad of businesses that are typically provided by multiple private and public entities and are governed by diverse regulatory frameworks. At Lavasa, we are developing businesses which, we believe, will over time facilitate and sustain the economy of Lavasa in a complementary fashion. We aim to develop a 365 day economy meaning that Lavasa will not simply be a weekend or tourist destination; instead, we aim to develop an economy at Lavasa where we expect to share in the revenue streams related to our ongoing consumption and infrastructure businesses. We expect that our initial real estate development and early stage investments in core infrastructure assets such as roads, dams, bridges, water and sewage network may lead to real estate revenues in the short term and ongoing consumption driven revenues from businesses located within Lavasa in the long term. Through our continued emphasis on infrastructure and city management, we aim to achieve optimum resident satisfaction which in turn, we believe, may lead to additional real estate transactions and consumption opportunities in the hospitality, education, tourism and leisure, healthcare and retail sectors. We are consciously cultivating these interlinked and co-dependent businesses within the framework of our governance platform which we believe will significantly contribute to this economic integration. Driven by our focus on integration, we are organised as follows:

285

Real estate. Our real estate business aims to continue to purchase, develop, sell built up structures and/or lease land and/or real estate assets across the residential, commercial, institutional, hospitality and social sectors. Our revenues are primarily derived from real estate sales and leases of built up structures and/or land leases, grant of long term leasehold interests in the underlying lands and, to a lesser extent, the lease of certain assets and our consolidated revenue from this business was ` 3,063.71 million for FY 2010 and ` 2,071.04 million for FY 2009. Governance. Pursuant to a notification dated June 12, 2008, issued under the MRTP Act, (SPA Notification), the Government of Maharashtra has appointed our Company as a special planning authority in connection with land owned and proposed to be developed by us. The SPA is our governance platform, which aims to ensure an optimum quality of life for our residents and visitors and benefits from exclusive development rights. In terms of the MRTP Act, the SPA is required to, from time to time, submit its proposals for the developments of the land in the area as detailed in the SPA Notification, (being land either currently owned by us or land which is proposed to be purchased by us), (Statutory Proposals), to the State Government after having invited and considered suggestions and objections from the public. The State Government may in turn, after consultation with the Director of Town Planning, approve such Statutory Proposals either with or without modification. The Statutory Proposals are required to be prepared taking into consideration the provisions of any regional plan or a draft thereof, any development plan, building bye-laws and regulations, which are already in force in the area notified under the SPA Notification. Prior to the SPA Notification, pursuant to a letter dated June 7, 2008, the Office of the Collector, Revenue Department, District Pune, has approved and granted permission to our Company for our proposed development at Dasve and Padalghar for a total area of 636.82 hectares. Currently, the draft Statutory Proposals for land owned and proposed to be developed by us has been approved by the SPA and is pending publication amongst others in the official gazette and local newspapers, for public review and receipt of public suggestions and objections thereon. Consequently, this draft Statutory Proposals, after having considered the objections and suggestions received from the public, as appropriate, shall be submitted to the State Government for its approval. The SPA also approves certain draft development control regulations applicable to the land under the control and jurisdiction of the SPA (the Lavasa DCRs), which are required to be subsequently approved by the State Government. The Lavasa DCRs are required to be within the framework of the regional plan, which includes the Hill Station Regulations and the development control rules, regulations, and notifications issued by the State Government of Maharashtra, as applicable to the notified area in the Pune district (the Pune Region DCRs). Thus, the SPA prepares the Statutory Proposals and the Lavasa DCRs and supervises and ensures that all development within the city is in accordance with the Statutory Plan, the Lavasa DCRs, the master plan designed by our Company with HOK International Limited and applicable statutory, regulatory and other requirements.

Infrastructure. We construct and own assets related to dams, water and sewage, drainage, solid waste management, power, roads, street lighting, landscaping, public utilities and information, communication and technology. We expect that our information, communication and technology infrastructure will include telephone, mobile and broadband networks, e-governance and a data centre. In addition, we also construct, develop and maintain social infrastructure such as townhalls, parks and gardens, post offices and police and fire stations. In addition, our city management team enforces our public health and welfare, public safety and regulations and will maintain our infrastructure and civic amenities once these become operational. We aim to provide better services than those available in the average Indian city and to achieve economies of scale given the size of Lavasa's expected population and the scale of Lavasa. Based on our engineer certificate dated August 11, 2010, on the land that we own and have developed as of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we expect to treat 100% sewage and solid waste generated, we expect to have 100% piped water, sewage and septic tank coverage, our storm water drains are expected to cover 120% of our road network and we have designed our water supply to deliver 216 litres per capita per day, all of 286

which, according to McKinsey Global Institute (MGI), are better than or comparable to current best-inclass standards. (Source: India's urban awakening: Building inclusive cities, sustaining economic growth, Mckinsey Global Institute April 2010). Consumption. Our consumption business comprises businesses in the hospitality, education, tourism and leisure, healthcare and retail sectors and aims to achieve ongoing annuity revenues through tie-ups with corporate and other institutions in the relevant sectors. o Hospitality. Our hospitality business comprises of hotels, a convention centre and clubs. Together with our partners, we aim to offer hotels of various categories ranging from budget to high-end hotels. We have been granted mega status by the Tourism and Cultural Affairs Department, Government of Maharashtra under the Tourism Policy 2006 of the Government of Maharashtra in connection with our proposed tourism project at Lavasa Hill Station at Taluka Mulshi and Velhe falling under 'C' zone. Fortune Select Dasve and Mercure Lavasa, two hotels developed by us, are currently operational and we have also developed an international convention centre in Dasve with a plenary capacity of 1,500 people, which commenced operations in April 2010. Further, Dasvino, our town and country club, has also started its operations in April 2010. Education. We have tied up with international and national educational institutions to establish an education infrastructure traversing primary, secondary, tertiary and continuing education aimed at providing quality education centred around recognised national and international curricula. Our revenue from the education business is derived from lease income from the educational institutions and, in some instances, ongoing revenue pursuant to our shareholdings in these businesses. As of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we have entered into arrangements with institutions, such as Educomp Infrastructure and School Management Limited, Birla Edutech Limited and Ecole Hoteliere de Lausanne whereby we will develop educational institutions jointly with these entities. Tourism and leisure. We intend to offer various tourism and leisure amenities such as golf training, boating, nature trails, water sports, outdoor sports, adventure sports and theme based entertainment parks with an intention to draw visitors to Lavasa. We have arrangements in place with Space Investment Corporation LLC to set up a space themed entertainment park, Nick Faldo Designs Overseas Limited for designing the golf course at Dhamanohol, Faldo Academies Limited for golf training academy at Mugaon, a licence agreement with Golden Five Limited for rowing and training activities with Sir Steve Redgrave and have signed term sheets with Hockey Australia, Manchester City Football Club Limited and I Dream Productions Private Limited. Healthcare. We have entered into arrangements with Apollo Hospitals Enterprise Limited for health and wellness development at Lavasa, covering primary hospitals, wellness research development and medical education and have developed a hospital with a capacity of 60 beds at Dasve through a subsidiary. Retail. We are developing commercial retail spaces with an intention to lease such spaces and in some cases lease land on a long term basis for the lessee to set up diverse retail businesses. We are developing retail spaces ranging from single brand flagship stores to retail squares concentrated in the town centre. In addition, we are developing retail spaces attached to a space themed entertainment park.

We view Lavasa as a replicable model for the development of future cities and we will, in our view, have a competitive advantage with respect to bidding for and efficiently developing and executing such future cities. We will, on an opportunistic basis, evaluate options for developing future cities and marketing our city management expertise to other developers of new cities.

287

We are jointly promoted by HCC, a recognised engineering, construction and infrastructure development company in India, through its wholly-owned subsidiary company HREL. HCC holds a 64.99% stake in Lavasa, through its subsidiary, HREL. Note Regarding Presentation The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with Indian GAAP and standards issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) and SEBI ICDR Regulations. The discussion below covers our consolidated restated results for the three months ended June 30, 2010, FY 2010, FY 2009 and FY 2008. Factors Affecting Our Financial Results The general factors affecting our financial condition and performance are discussed below: General economic, income and demographic conditions in India and elsewhere We are a city development and management company. As such, our financial performance depends upon changes in the general economic condition, growth in GDP, rate of urbanisation, demographic changes, changes in disposable incomes and the real estate sector in India. The Indian economy grew at a rate of nearly 9% in FY 2008, and 6.7% in FY 2009, making it one of the fastest growing economies in the world. (Source: Reserve Bank of India, Third Quarter Review of Monetary Policy for the Year 2009-10) As investments related to urban development are driven by increases in employment and disposable income, any slowdown or perceived slowdown in the Indian economy or GDP, or in specific sectors of the Indian economy, could adversely impact our business and financial performance. Other economic conditions affecting our business include market pricing trends that affect sales and room rental rates of our projects, demographic changes, interest rates, changes in levels of disposable income and the availability of consumer financing. We expect these trends to continue and expect our results of operations to continue to vary from period to period in accordance with fluctuations in the Indian economy and the Indian real estate market. Rate of urbanisation in India Our success depends upon the rate of urbanisation in India and the need for new urban developments such as Lavasa which seek to provide better amenities than those available in most India cities. The rate of urbanisation is affected by many factors, including the growth in the target market for urbanisation (ages 16 to 64 years), changing demographic profiles, strain on existing infrastructure and housing shortages. Hence, our financial results depend upon our ability to take advantage of the rate of urbanisation in India and to attract residents, visitors and businesses to Lavasa which would, in turn, generate revenues. Factors affecting the components of our income streams Our total income will likely be comprised of lease premiums, project management consultancy fees, annuities from infrastructure services and consumption driven annuities, sales and/or leases of retail built up structures, lease rentals from rental housing, lease rentals linked to revenues of retail outlets and fees for design and construction on the leased land. These inputs are affected by various factors outside our control, including: prevailing local economic, income and demographic conditions; availability of consumer and project development financing (interest rates and eligibility criteria for loans); availability of and demand for projects comparable to those we develop; changes in governmental policies relating to zoning and land use; changes in applicable regulatory schemes;

288

our ability to collect fees from residents for infrastructure and civic amenity services provided; and the ongoing spending patterns of our residents and the success of our hospitality, education, tourism and leisure, healthcare and retail businesses.

Occupancy levels of our hospitality projects We aim to offer hotels of various categories ranging from budget to high end hotels and have been granted mega status by the Tourism and Cultural Affairs Department, Government of Maharashtra under the Tourism Policy 2006 of the Government of Maharashtra in connection with the our proposed tourism project at Lavasa hill station at Taluka Mulshi and Velhe in Pune district falling under C zone. A material part of our development plan is devoted to our hospitality and convention business and our aim is to turn Lavasa into a convention destination that will attract meetings, exhibitions, corporate events, training and development and national and international conventions. Revenues from our hospitality projects depend upon the attractiveness of India as a tourist/business destination, our ability to attract tourists and business visitors to Lavasa and the occupancy levels in our hotels. Revenues and cash flows in the tourism industry are affected by seasonality depending on the location and categories of hotels. We expect that Lavasa would attract the maximum number of tourists in specific months of the year (during the holiday periods, from November to May). Accordingly, we expect that our hospitality revenues may generally be higher during these months of each fiscal year compared to the other months of the fiscal year. Interest in our educational projects We have tied up with educational institutions to establish an education infrastructure traversing primary, secondary, tertiary and continuing education. Revenue from our education business is expected to be derived from lease income from the educational institutions and, in some instances, we expect to have a share in the ongoing revenue of the institutions once operational through (i) lease premiums or (ii) potential dividend payments from our Subsidiaries or Associates. Revenue from our education business segment will likely depend upon several factors, such as tie-ups with recognised educational institutions, our ability to attract interest from students in our educational projects and our ability to attract suitably qualified professionals such as professors, teachers and instructors. Lease prices of our developed land Our profit margin depends in part on the pricing of our leases which is impacted by several factors, including: the growth of the Mumbai Pune corridor; the level of success of the consumptive aspects of our economy which are currently operational; the success of and occupancy rates of our current hospitality projects; the availability of consumer and project development financing (interest rates and eligibility criteria for loans); changes in applicable regulatory schemes; and real estate prices in the state of Maharashtra.

Construction costs We are indirectly exposed to market risk with respect to the prices of raw material and components used in our projects, particularly steel and cement. For steel and cement, some of the contractors may negotiate and pass through those costs to us. However, our exposure to fluctuations in the prices of these raw materials is limited due to 289

escalation clauses in our lease agreements/contracts to sell built up structures whereby we can, under certain conditions, increase the prices charged to purchasers and residents due to increases in the costs of steel and cement. Raw material prices, particularly, those of steel and cement, may be affected by price volatility caused by different factors that affect the Indian and international commodity markets. If there are extraordinary price increases in construction materials due to increase in demand for steel and cement, or shortages in supply, the contractors we hire for construction or development work may be unable to fulfil their contractual obligations and may therefore be compelled to increase their contract prices. As a result, increases in costs for construction materials may impact our construction costs. In addition, the timing and quality of construction of the projects we develop depend on the availability and skill of our contractors, architects and consultants, as well as contingencies affecting them, including labour and industrial actions such as strikes. Such labour and industrial actions may cause significant delays to the construction timetables for our projects, and we may therefore be required to find replacement contractors and consultants at higher costs. As a result, any increase in prices resulting from higher construction costs could adversely affect demand for our projects and the relative affordability of our projects as compared to our competitors' projects. Government policies including taxes and duties The state government of Maharashtra has granted us SPA status which is our governance platform. The SPA approves the master plan and amendments to it in accordance with the applicable development control regulation and supervises and ensures that all development within the city is in accordance with the master plan, statutory, regulatory and other requirements, as prescribed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we require certain statutory and regulatory permits, licenses and approvals to execute our projects and operate our business and applications need to be made at appropriate stages for such approvals. Regulations applicable to our operations include standards regarding transfer of property, registration, the ratio of built-up area to land area, land usage, road access, necessary community facilities, open spaces, water supply, sewage disposal systems, electricity supply and environmental suitability. Competition We may face competition from (i) the cities of Mumbai and Pune to the extent that these cities offer improved infrastructure development and facilities as compared to existing facilities; and (ii) new urban centres which are being developed or may be developed in the Mumbai Pune corridor. To a lesser extent, we may face competition from real estate developments in Mumbai and Pune, townships in other economic corridors in India or in the event that the municipal limits of Pune are expanded. The aforementioned competition may impact our ability to attract potential future residents and thereby adversely affect our ability to develop and sell or lease our projects. Other Factors For further details on these and other factors that may affect our results of operations, see Risk Factors on page xii. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by us in accordance with the requirements of Accounting Standards AS-21 Consolidated Financial Statements and AS- 23 Accounting for Investments in Associates in Consolidated Financial Statements notified pursuant to the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 (as amended).

Significant Accounting Policies Basis of accounting and the use of estimates We maintain our accounts on accrual basis following historical cost convention, in compliance with the Accounting Standards issued by the ICAI, relevant provisions of the Companies Act and the rules made thereunder. Our management makes estimates and technical and other assumptions regarding the amounts of income and expenses, assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingencies, in accordance with Indian GAAP in the preparation of the financial statements. Difference between the actual results and estimates are recognised in the period in which determined. Fixed assets and intangible assets Fixed assets are stated at the cost of acquisition or construction including attributable overheads, interest and financial costs till such assets are ready for their intended use, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Costs relating to trademark and design have been treated as intangible assets which also comprise license fees, other implementation costs for software and application software acquired for in-house use. The cost of purchase of land to the extent of one percent is accounted as fixed assets and the remaining amount is accounted for as stock-in-trade. Depreciation and amortisation Depreciation on fixed assets is provided: (i) in respect of office buildings, furniture and fixtures, office equipments, vehicles, speed boats and infrastructure assets on written down value method at the rates specified in Schedule XIV of the Companies Act on pro-rata basis; in respect of intangible assets being computer software relating to our geographic information system and enterprise resource planning is amortised over the estimated useful life of 10 years under straight line method on pro-rata basis; and in respect of trademark and design costs are amortised equally over a period of 10 years.

Investments Investments are classified as long term and current investments. Long term investments are shown at cost or written down value (in case of diminution which is other than temporary diminution) and current investments are shown at cost or market value whichever is lower. Inventories of land and Floor Space Index (FSI)

291

(i)

The cost of land accounted for as stock-in-trade is treated as (a) Cost of FSI - 95%, (b) Land, stock-in-trade 5%, both being distinct items of inventory. Cost of land and FSI are accounted for on a weighted average basis along with related purchase/acquisition price plus all direct and indirect expenditure incurred in connection with the purchase of land. Land and FSI are valued at lower of cost or net realisable value. Land or FSI utilised for own construction is transferred to fixed assets at cost. Project work in progress is valued at the contract rates in accordance with long-term construction accounting standards. Where construction of any unit is undertaken for which there are no sales, such inventory is valued at lower of cost or net realisable value and is not considered under long-term construction for accounting purposes. The stock of stores, food and beverages, groceries and provisions, other guest amenities, information technology material, finished products including traded goods and semi finished goods are stated at the lower of cost or net realisable value. The inventories of raw materials, lab materials, other consumables and housekeeping items, medicines and healthcare items are stated at cost.

(ii) (iii) (iv)

Foreign currency transactions Foreign currency transactions during the year are accounted at the prevailing rate on the date of transaction. Current assets and current liabilities are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the last day of the fiscal year. Gains or losses arising out of remittances/translations at the year-end are credited/debited to the profit and loss account for the fiscal year. Revenue recognition (i) Sale of land (including lease premium) and FSI Revenues are recognised in the year in which the agreement to lease is executed. Income from land sale (including on long term lease basis) is recognised on the transfer of all significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyers and a reasonable expectation of collection of the sale consideration from the buyers exists. Exchange of parcels of land against other parcels of land is not treated as a sale but is adjusted in the inventories of our balance sheet. (ii) Project Construction Work Our Company follows the percentage completion method, on the basis of physical measurement of work actually completed at the balance sheet date, taking into account the contractual price and revision thereto by estimating total revenue and total cost to the completion of the contract and the profit so determined accounted for proportionate to the percentage of the actual work done. Foreseeable losses are accounted for as and when they are determined. Revenues from sales of constructed units, other than under long term construction contracts, are recognised on execution of transfer agreements. (iii) Project Management Consultancy Fees Revenues from project management consultancy fees are recognised on accrual basis as per the agreements. (iv) Revenues from room rentals and allied services relating to hotel operations are recognised upon rendering of services.

Borrowing costs Borrowing costs (less any income on the temporary investments of those borrowings) that are directly attributable to qualifying assets/project work in progress are charged over such qualifying assets/project work in progress.

292

Employee benefits (i) Defined Contribution Plans Contribution to provident fund and superannuation fund is accounted on accrual basis. (ii) Defined Benefit Plan Gratuity is charged to revenue on the basis of actuarial valuation. (iii) Other benefits Short term and long term compensated absences are provided for based on actuarial valuation. The actuarial valuation is done as per projected unit credit method. Taxes on income The tax expense comprises of current, deferred and wealth tax. Current income tax is measured in accordance with the I. T. Act. The deferred tax is measured based on the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantially enacted as on the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are not recognised unless there is virtual certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised. Wealth tax is measured in accordance with the Wealth Tax Act, 1987. Impairment Our Company makes an assessment of any indicator that may lead to the impairment of its assets on an annual basis. An asset is treated as impaired when the carrying cost of the asset exceeds its recoverable value, which is the higher of net selling price and the value in use. Impairment loss, if any, is charged to profit and loss account in the fiscal year in which it is identified as impaired. Earnings per share Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders (after deducting preference dividends and attributable taxes) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for bonus shares issued during the period. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares. Contingencies/Provisions Provisions involving substantial degree of estimation in measurement are recognised when there is a present obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that there will be an outflow of resources. Contingent liabilities are not recognised but are disclosed in the notes. Contingent assets are neither recognised not disclosed in the financial statements. Leases Lease rentals in respect of assets acquired under operating leases are charged to our profit and loss account. Treatment of expenditure transferred to fixed assets/capital work in progress In respect of each financial period we transfer certain expenses from the profit and loss account to the fixed asset or capital work in progress items on our balance sheet. Such reallocated expenses are expenses incurred in connection with the construction/acquisition of a capital asset. We determine the amount of such expenditure to be transferred by reviewing our actual expenses and reallocate accordingly based on whether such expenses were incurred in connection with the construction/acquisition of capital assets or fixed assets. This is done in order to comply with 293

the requirements of Part II of Schedule VI to the Companies Act, 1956. The amount of expenditure reallocated to our balance sheet varies year on year and was ` 971.03 million, ` 3,355.22 million, ` 8,317.70 million and nil for the three months ended June 30, 2010, FY 2010, FY 2009 and FY 2008, respectively. Prior to FY 2009, all our costs were classified as project work in progress (which is a separate line item under inventories in our balance sheet). In FY 2009, due to the commencement of revenue generating activity and the execution of lease agreements, we implemented our revenue recognition policy. As a result, all costs incurred for the years prior to and including FY 2009 which were accumulated in project work in progress were reallocated in the following manner: Expenses incurred in relation to land sales, including long-term land leases and sales of constructed structures recognised were charged to our profit and loss account. Expenses incurred in relation to construction/acquisition of fixed assets and capital work in progress were reallocated to fixed assets or capital work in progress on our balance sheet. Expenses incurred in relation to incomplete and unsold inventories continued to be carried forward on our balance sheet as project work in progress.

Lease premium from long term lease consists of upfront lease income for such land. Progress billing consists of (i) sales of constructed structures and villas (from which revenues are recognized according to the percentage completion method, please see Significant Account Policies - Revenue Recognition), and (ii) revenue of subsidiaries engaged in our hospitality, education, tourism and leisure and retail businesses. Project management consultancy consists of project management services provided to entities other than our subsidiaries.

Taxes comprise income tax, deferred tax, fringe benefit tax and wealth tax.

295

Provision for income taxes is made at income tax rates applicable after taking into consideration the benefits admissible under the provisions of the I. T. Act. In cases where our income tax liability under the provisions of the I. T. Act is less than the tax liability calculated on our book profits (as defined by I. T. Act), we are liable to pay the Minimum Alternate Tax at the applicable rate, in accordance with Section 115JB of the I. T. Act. In conformity with the Accounting Standard 22 Accounting for Taxes on Income issued by the ICAI, deferred tax asset or liability is recognised for timing differences between the profit/loss as per financial statements and the profit/loss offered for income tax, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognised only if there is reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available, against which they can be realised. If there is unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward of losses under income tax laws, deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted, wherever required, to reflect reasonable and sufficient balances. Since Fringe Benefit Tax was abolished effective April 2009 the same has not been provided for FY 2010 onwards. Wealth Tax has been computed and provided at each balance sheet date in light with provisions of Wealth Tax Act, 1957.

The increase in progress billing from ` 680.40 million in FY 2009 to ` 1,937.30 million in FY 2010 was primarily due to the advancement of ongoing construction activity for villas, apartments, institutions and others and the commencement of additional construction activities during FY 2010 leading to revenue recognition based on the percentage completion method. The decrease in land sales/leases from ` 1,390.63 million in FY 2009 to ` 1,126.41 million in FY 2010 was primarily due to lesser land sales/leases on account of market forces. Other income Other income increased by ` 19.68 million, or 345.26%, from ` 5.70 million in FY 2009 to ` 25.38 million in FY 2010.

The decrease was primarily due to the recognition of one-off expenses in FY 2009 as a result of the commencement of revenue generating activity and the execution of lease agreements, which caused us to implement our revenue recognition policy. Employees remuneration and benefits Our employees remuneration and benefits increased by ` 51.03 million, or 10.46%, from ` 487.81 million in FY 2009 to ` 538.84 million in FY 2010. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the number of employees on account of increase in business operations, the commencement of operations of certain Subsidiaries/Associates and an increase in average remuneration. Office and site establishment expenses Office and site establishment expenses increased by ` 204.17 million, or 46.83%, from ` 436.02 million in FY 2009 to ` 640.19 million in FY 2010.

Our total current assets, loans and advances were ` 12812.86 million, ` 11,701.01 million, ` 6,498.77 million and ` 7,935.03 million as of June 30, 2010, March 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Our current assets, loans and advances increased as of March 31, 2010 primarily as a result of an increase in debtors of ` 1,245.34 million, loans and advances of ` 1,253.17 million, inventories of ` 2,013.94 million and cash and bank balances of ` 659.92 million and decreased as of March 31, 2009 as a result of a decrease in inventories of ` 2,948.80 million, which was partially offset by increases in debtors of ` 928.56 million and loans and advances of ` 543.32 million Inventories Our inventories comprise land and land FSI which we intend to develop and sell and project work in progress. Project work in progress includes partly completed residential, institutional and commercial construction projects. Our total inventory were ` 6,586.42 million, ` 6,316.62 million, ` 4,302.68 million and ` 7,251.48 million as of June 30, 2010, March 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The increase in our inventory as of March 31, 2010 was primarily due to higher construction activities during FY 2010 and the decrease as of March 31, 2009 was primarily due to the commencement of revenue recognition during FY 2009 and the subsequent recognition of expenditure we had previously accounted for as inventory.

301

Sundry debtors Our sundry debtors were ` 2,926.20 million, ` 2,173.90 million, ` 928.56 million and ` Nil as of June 30, 2010, March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase from March 31, 2009 to March 31, 2010 was due to higher long term lease activity during FY 2010 as compared to FY 2009. The increase from March 31, 2008 to March 31, 2009 was primarily due to higher long term lease activity. Cash and bank balances Our consolidated cash and bank balances comprise cash in hand, balances with banks and fixed deposits placed with banks. Total cash and bank balances were ` 1,027.44 million, ` 951.56 million, ` 291.64 million and ` 297.61 million as of June 30, 2010, March 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The increase from March 31, 2009 to March 31, 2010 was primarily due to increases in fixed deposits and current accounts with banks. The increase in current accounts was due to a greater number of subsidiaries on a consolidated basis as of March 31, 2010 which required an increased number of such accounts with certain minimum sums/balances required in each account. Loans and advances Loans and advances include advance for purchases of land, advances to suppliers, advance income tax payments, deposits and other amounts recoverable. The total loans and advances were ` 2,155.72 million, ` 2,182.43 million, ` 929.26 million and ` 385.94 million as of June 30, 2010, March 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The increase as of March 31, 2010 compared to March 31, 2009 was primarily due to increase in taxes paid and advances to suppliers and the increase as of March 31, 2009 compared to March 31, 2008 was primarily due to increases in advances relating to land procurement and to suppliers and taxes paid. Liabilities and Provisions Current liabilities and provisions Our total current liabilities and provisions were ` 4,865.88 million, ` 4,909.79 million, ` 2,171.18 million and ` 1,101.67 million as of June 30, 2010, March 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Our current liabilities and provisions include sundry creditors, booking advances due to customer and other liabilities such as contractor's retention money, statutory dues and provision for expenses. Current liabilities increased between March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2010 primarily due to increases in creditors and other liabilities arising out of an increase in construction activity and increased between March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009 primarily due to increases in dues to customers (which are advances received from customers in excess of the completion stage of their property). Liquidity and Capital Resources As of June 30, 2010, we had cash and bank balances of ` 1,027.44 million. Cash and bank balances primarily consist of cash on hand and balances with scheduled banks. Our primary liquidity requirements have been to finance our working capital for the development of Lavasa. Historically, we have financed our projects through (i) cash from operations; (ii) sale of equity shares of our Company and our Subsidiaries or Associates; and (iii) debt financing through bank loans and issuances of convertible debentures. For our projects that we develop in collaboration with third parties, such third parties also invest equity capital in the entities set up to develop these projects.

302

Our business requires a significant amount of working capital. We expect to meet our working capital requirements for the next 12 months primarily from undrawn term loans, liquid investments and customer advances as may be expedient. Cash Flows

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements Except for our contingent liabilities described above, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, derivative contracts, swap transactions or relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships that would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet transactions. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk Interest Rate Risk Our exposure to interest rate risks relates primarily to our debt. Our long-term rupee-denominated debts, which bear interest at floating rates linked with prime lending rates of the respective lenders, as determined from time to time, are subject to fluctuations in interest rates, which could increase the amount of interest payable by us under our debt obligations and could make it difficult for us to procure new debt on attractive terms. Changes in interest rates also affect the ability and willingness of our prospective real estate customers, particularly the customers for our residential properties, to obtain financing for their purchases of our units. Commodity Price Risk Where we have entered into fixed price contracts, the contractors purchase raw materials and provide us with a fixed cost for all their services. However, we are exposed to indirect market risk with respect to the prices of raw material and components used in our projects, particularly steel and cement for those contracts which are not on a fixed price basis. For steel and cement, some of the contractors with whom contracts are not on a fixed price basis may negotiate and pass through cost escalations to us. However, our exposure to such cost escalations is limited due to escalation clauses in our lease agreements/contracts to sell constructed structures whereby we can, under certain conditions, increase the prices charged to purchasers and residents due to increases in the costs of steel and cement. Seasonality Our operations may be adversely affected by difficult working conditions during monsoons that restrict our ability to carry on construction activities and fully utilise our resources. Our business is also cyclical and fluctuates in line with the general economic cycles impacting the hospitality, tourism, education and real estate sectors. While we generally do not believe that our business is seasonal, our revenues and cash flows in the hospitality industry are affected by seasonality depending on the location and categories of hotels. We expect that Lavasa would attract the maximum number of tourists in specific months of the year (during the holiday periods, from November to May). Accordingly, we expect that our hospitality revenues may generally be higher during these months of each fiscal year compared to the other months of the fiscal year. Credit Risk We are exposed to credit risk from our buyers paying in installments and from customers making ongoing payments for our infrastructure services, such as maintenance charges for public works services and utility bills. Credit risk is the risk of loss that may occur from the failure of a customer to abide by the terms of conditions of its financial contract with us, principally the failure to make required payments on amounts due to us. Our customers pay in installments for projects during the construction period based on the percentage of completion and also make ongoing payments for our infrastructure services. The credit risk we face is mitigated by the terms of the standard agreements with our buyers whereby the property may be returned to us in the event of a customer's failure to pay its installments. Inflation In recent years, although India has experienced minor fluctuations in inflation rates, inflation has not had a material impact on our business and results of operations.

Shamsunder Haribhau Potare (the Petitioner) has filed a public interest litigation (no. 148 of 2006) before the Bombay High Court and has sought the cancellation of allotments of land by the Maharashtra Krishna Khore Vikas Mahamandal (MKKVM) to all the allottees including allotments of 141.15 hectares made to our Company. The Petitioner has further sought that MKKVM take back possession of the allotted lands. The Petitioner has argued that this allotment of land is against the objects of the Maharashtra Krishna Valley Development Corporation Act, 1996 (the MKVDC Act) which provides for the protection and operation of irrigation projects and generation of hydro electric energy and the allotment does not fulfill the purpose of the MKVDC Act. Our Company has filed its affidavit in reply arguing that the allotment was made for the purpose of constructing bandharas, and for developing the supply of water to the hill station being developed by our Company, water sports, tourism and other recreational activities. Our Company has further submitted that the allotment was covered under sections 18, 19 and 28 of the MKVDC Act which provide that the function of the MKKVM is to promote and operate irrigational projects, plan, design and construct irrigational projects and promote tourism, water sports and other related activities and empowers MKKVM to acquire property and lease or sell land for the performance of its functions and duties. Our Company has sought that the public interest litigation be dismissed. The Bombay High Court by an interim order dated December 19, 2007 has directed the respondent-allottees not to alienate the property or create any third party interest in the property. The matter is currently pending. Bhagatraj G. Ahuja (the Petitioner) has filed a public interest litigation (no. 122 of 2008) before the Bombay High Court and has sought revocation and cancellation of allotments of land made by the Maharashtra Krishna Khore Vikas Mahamandal (MKKVM) to all the allottees including the allotment of 141.15 hectares to our Company. The Petitioner has argued that the allotment of land was illegal as it was in contravention of the Maharashtra Krishna Valley Development Corporation Act, 1996 (the MKVDC Act) and the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code, 1966 and the rules thereof. The Petitioner has argued that the allotment of land was against the objects of the MKVDC Act which provides for the promotion and operation of irrigation projects and generation of hydro electric energy and the allotment did not carry out the purpose of the MKVDC Act. The Petitioner has further argued that MKKVM has made allotments in contravention of rules of the Maharashtra Land Revenue (Disposal of Government Lands) Rules, 1971 which put a ceiling on the land that can be allotted and the terms and conditions for such allotment. Our Company has filed its affidavit in reply arguing that the allotment was made for the purpose of constructing bandharas and for developing the supply of water to the hill station being developed by our Company, water sports, tourism and other recreational activities and is covered under sections 18, 19 and 28 of the MKVDC Act. These sections provide the functions of the MKKVM including the function of promoting 313

2.

and operating irrigational projects, planning, designing and constructing irrigational projects and promoting tourism, water sports and other related activities. It empowers the MKKVM to acquire property and lease or sell for the performance of its functions and duties. Our Company has sought that the public interest litigation be dismissed. The matter is currently pending. 3. Shamsunder Haribhau Potare (the Petitioner) has filed a public interest litigation (no. 2 of 2009) before the Bombay High Court against the state of Maharashtra and the Collector, Pune and our Company. The Petitioner has argued that our Company has purchased more than 10,000 acres of land in violation of sections 9 and 10 of the Maharashtra Agricultural (Ceiling on Holdings) Act, 1961 (the Ceiling Act). Section 9 read with section 10 of the Ceiling Act states that any land purchased in excess of the ceiling area shall be forfeited and shall vest in the State Government. The Petitioner has argued that the purchase of land by our Company defeats the object of the Ceiling Act. The Petitioner has sought that a writ be issued directing the state of Maharashtra and the Collector, Pune to take action under the Ceiling Act with respect to the land purchased by our Company. The Petitioner has also sought an injunction restraining our Company from developing the land and creating any third party interest in the land purchased by our Company. Our Company has filed an affidavit in reply arguing that it has not violated the Ceiling Act as it had obtained requisite permission to buy land under section 63-1A of the Bombay Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1948 which permits a non-agriculturist to purchase agricultural land in excess of 10 hectares for bonafide industrial use. Our Company has further argued that the development of the hill station has been given the status of an industry under the Hill Station Regulations and the provisions of the Ceiling Act do not apply to the purchase of this land. Our Company has further argued that since the land was purchased for the development of a hill station, it becomes non-agricultural land under section 44 (A) of the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code, 1966. The matter is currently pending.

The Syndicate Members and the Designated Branches of the SCSBs can also set up facilities for off-line electronic registration of Bids subject to the condition that they will subsequently upload the off-line data file into the on-line facilities for Book Building on a regular basis. On the Bid/ Issue Closing Date, the Syndicate and the Designated Branches of the SCSBs shall upload the Bids till such time as may be permitted by the Stock Exchanges.

A system generated TRS will be given to the Bidder as a proof of the registration of each of the bidding options. It is the Bidders responsibility to obtain the TRS from the Syndicate or the Designated Branches of the SCSBs. The registration of the Bid by the member of the Syndicate or the Designated Branches of the SCSBs does not guarantee that the Equity Shares shall be allocated/Allotted either by the Syndicate or our Company. Such TRS will be non-negotiable and by itself will not create any obligation of any kind. In case of QIB Bidders, only the BRLMs and their Affiliate Syndicate Members have the right to accept the Bid or reject it. However, such rejection shall be made at the time of receiving the Bid and only after assigning a reason for such rejection in writing. In case of Non-Institutional Bidders, Retail Individual Bidders and Eligible Employees, Bids will be rejected on technical grounds listed on page 379. The Members of the Syndicate may also reject Bids if all the information required is not provided and the Bid cum Application Form is incomplete in any respect. The SCSBs shall have no right to reject Bids, except on technical grounds. The permission given by the Stock Exchanges to use their network and software of the online IPO system should not in any way be deemed or construed to mean that the compliance with various statutory and other requirements by our Company and/or the BRLMs are cleared or approved by the Stock Exchanges; nor does it in any manner warrant, certify or endorse the correctness or completeness of any of the compliance with the statutory and other requirements nor does it take any responsibility for the financial or other soundness of our Company, the Promoter, the management or any scheme or project of our Company; nor does it in any manner warrant, certify or endorse the correctness or completeness of any of the contents of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus; nor does it warrant that the Equity Shares will be listed or will continue to be listed on the Stock Exchanges.

Details of Bids in the Anchor Investor Portion will not be registered on the on-line facilities of the electronic facilities of the Stock Exchanges.

Build up of the book and revision of Bids (a) (b) (c) Bids received from various Bidders through the Syndicate and the SCSBs shall be electronically uploaded to the Stock Exchanges mainframe on a regular basis. The Book gets built up at various price levels. This information will be available with the BRLMs at the end of the Bid/Issue Period. During the Bid/Issue Period, any Bidder who has registered his or her interest in the Equity Shares at a particular price level is free to revise his or her Bid within the Price Band using the printed Revision Form, which is a part of the Bid cum Application Form. Revisions can be made in both the desired number of Equity Shares and the Bid Amount by using the Revision Form. Apart from mentioning the revised options in the Revision Form, the Bidder must also mention the details of all the options in his or her Bid cum Application Form or earlier Revision Form. For example, if a Bidder has Bid for three options in the Bid cum Application Form and such Bidder is changing only one of the options in the Revision Form, he must still fill the details of the other two options that are not being revised, in the Revision Form. The Syndicate and the Designated Branches of the SCSBs will not accept incomplete or inaccurate Revision Forms. The Bidder can make this revision any number of times during the Bid/Issue Period. However, for any revision(s) in the Bid, the Bidders will have to use the services of the same member of the Syndicate or the SCSB through whom such Bidder had placed the original Bid. Bidders are advised to retain copies of the blank Revision Form and the revised Bid must be made only in such Revision Form or copies thereof. In case of an upward revision in the Price Band announced as above, Retail Individual Bidders and Eligible Employees who had Bid at Cut-off Price could either (i) revise their Bid or (ii) shall make additional payment based on the cap of the revised Price Band (such that the total amount i.e., original Bid Amount plus additional payment does not exceed ` 100,000 if the Bidder wants to continue to Bid at Cut-off Price), with the Syndicate to whom the original Bid was submitted. In case the total amount (i.e., original Bid Amount plus additional payment) exceeds ` 100,000, the Bid will be considered for allocation under the Non-Institutional Portion in terms of the Red Herring Prospectus. If, however, the Bidder does not either revise the Bid or make additional payment and the Issue Price is higher than the cap of the Price Band prior to revision, the number of Equity Shares Bid for shall be adjusted downwards for the purpose of allocation, such that no additional payment would be required from the Bidder and the Bidder is deemed to have approved such revised Bid at Cut-off Price. In case of a downward revision in the Price Band, announced as above, Retail Individual Bidders and Eligible Employees, who have Bid at Cut-off Price could either revise their Bid or the excess amount paid at the time of bidding would be refunded from the Escrow Account. Our Company, in consultation with the BRLMs, shall decide the minimum number of Equity Shares for each Bid to ensure that the minimum application value is within the range of ` 5,000 to ` 7,000. Any revision of the Bid shall be accompanied by payment in the form of cheque or demand draft for the incremental amount, if any, to be paid on account of the upward revision of the Bid. With respect to the Bids by ASBA Bidders, if revision of the Bids results in an incremental amount, the relevant SCSB shall block the additional Bid Amount. In case of Bids, other than ASBA Bids, the Syndicate shall collect the payment in the form of cheque or demand draft if any, to be paid on account of the upward revision of the Bid at the time of one or more revisions. In such cases, the Syndicate will revise the earlier Bids details with the revised Bid and provide the cheque or demand draft number of the new payment instrument in the electronic book. The Registrar will reconcile the Bid data and consider the revised Bid data for preparing 369

Under-subscription, if any, in any category, except the QIB Portion, would be allowed to be met with spillover from any other category or combination of categories at the sole discretion of our Company in consultation with the BRLMs and the Designated Stock Exchange. Under subscription, if any, in the Employee Reservation Portion will be added back to the Net Issue. In case of under subscription in the Net Issue, spill over to the extent of under subscription shall be permitted from the Employee Reservation Portion subject to the Net Issue constituting 10% of the post Issue capital of our Company.

In this master, a check will be carried out for the same PAN. In cases where the PAN is different, the same will be deleted from this master. The Registrar will obtain, from the depositories, details of the applicants address based on the DP ID and Beneficiary Account Number provided in the Bid data and create an address master. The addresses of all the applications in the multiple master will be strung from the address master. This involves putting the addresses in a single line after deleting non-alpha and non-numeric characters i.e. commas, full stops, hash etc. Sometimes, the name, the first line of address and pin code will be converted into a string for each application received and a photo match will be carried out amongst all the applications processed. A print-out of the addresses will be taken to check for common names. The Bids with same name and same address will be treated as multiple Bids. The Bids will be scrutinised for DP ID and Beneficiary Account Numbers. In case applications bear the same DP ID and Beneficiary Account Numbers, these will be treated as multiple applications.

If that number is lower than 0.5 it would be rounded off to the lower whole number. Allotment to all in such categories would be arrived at after such rounding off. If the Equity Shares allocated on a proportionate basis to any category are more than the Equity Shares Allotted to the Bidders in that category, the remaining Equity Shares available for Allotment shall be first adjusted against any other category, where the Allotted Equity Shares are not sufficient for proportionate Allotment to the successful Bidders in that category. The balance Equity Shares, if any, remaining after such adjustment will be added to the category comprising Bidders applying for minimum number of Equity Shares. Subject to valid Bids being received, allocation of Equity Shares to Anchor Investors shall be at the sole discretion of our Company, in consultation with the BRLMs.

(including five MF applicants who applied for 2000 million equity shares). 4. The figures in the fourth column entitled Allocation of balance 665 million Equity Shares to QIBs proportionately in the above illustration are arrived as under: For QIBs other than Mutual Funds (A1 to A5) = No. of shares bid for (i.e. in column II) X 665 / 4,965. For Mutual Funds (MF1 to MF5)= [(No. of shares bid for (i.e. in column II of the table above) less Equity Shares allotted ( i.e., column III of the table above)] X 665 / 4,965. The numerator and denominator for arriving at allocation of 84 million shares to the 10 QIBs are reduced by 35 million shares, which have already been allotted to Mutual Funds in the manner specified in column III of the table above.

RESTRICTION ON FOREIGN OWNERSHIP OF INDIAN SECURITIES Foreign investment in Indian securities is regulated through the Industrial Policy, 1991 of the Government of India and FEMA. While the Industrial Policy, 1991 prescribes the limits and the conditions subject to which foreign investment can be made in different sectors of the Indian economy, FEMA regulates the precise manner in which such investment may be made. Under the Industrial Policy, unless specifically restricted, foreign investment is freely permitted in all sectors of Indian economy up to any extent and without any prior approvals, but the foreign investor is required to follow certain prescribed procedures for making such investment. Foreign investment limit is allowed up to 100% under automatic route in the Company. FIIs are permitted to subscribe to shares of an Indian company in a public offer without the prior approval of the RBI, so long as the price of the equity shares to be issued is not less than the price at which the equity shares are issued to residents. The transfer of shares between an Indian resident and a non-resident does not require the prior approval of the FIPB or the RBI, provided that (i) the activities of the investee company are under the automatic route under the foreign direct investment (FDI) Policy and transfer does not attract the provisions of the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 1997 (ii) the non-resident shareholding is within the sectoral limits under the FDI policy; and (iii) the pricing is in accordance with the guidelines prescribed by the SEBI/RBI. As per the existing policy of the Government of India, OCBs cannot participate in this Issue. Foreign Investment in the Real Estate Sector Foreign investment in the real estate sector is regulated by the relevant provisions of the FDI Manual dated November 2005, FEMA Regulations, and the Consolidated FDI Policy issued by the Secretariat for Industrial Assistance, GoI. Investments by NRIs FDI Manual Item No. 9 of Annexure II to the said FDI Manual outlines the sectoral caps in relation to Housing and Real Estate. Annexure II specifies the following as activities under the automatic route in which investment is permitted only by NRIs: (a). (b). (c). (d). (e). (f). (g). Development of serviced plots and construction of built up residential premises; Investment in real estate covering construction of residential and commercial premises including business centres and offices; Development of townships; City and regional level urban infrastructure facilities, including both roads and bridges; Investment in manufacture of building materials, which is also open to FDI; Investment in participatory ventures in (a) to (e) above; Investment in housing finance institutions, which is also open to FDI as an NBFC.

FEMA Regulations The FEMA Regulations, state that the investment cap in the real estate on the activities in the Housing and Real Estate is permit investment to the extent of 100% only by NRIs in the following specified areas: 391

I. II. III. IV. V. VI. VII.

Development of serviced plots and construction of built up residential premises; Investment in real estate covering construction of residential and commercial premises including business centres and offices; Development of townships; City and regional level urban infrastructure facilities, including both roads and bridges; Investment in manufacture of building materials, which is also open to FDI; Investment in participatory ventures in (a) to (c) above; Investment in housing finance institutions, which is also open to FDI as an NBFC.

However, all other forms of FDI are prohibited in relation to Housing and Real Estate Business. Consolidated FDI Policy The law in relation to investment in the real estate sector has been provided in the Consolidated FDI Policy dated March 31, 2010 issued by the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India. Under the Consolidated FDI Policy, FDI up to 100% under the automatic route is allowed in townships, housing, built-up infrastructure and construction-development projects (which would include, but not be restricted to, housing, commercial premises, hotels, resorts, hospitals, educational institutions, recreational facilities, city and regional level infrastructure), subject to the compliance with the following requirements. (a). Minimum area to be developed under each project is as under: (i). (ii). (iii). (b). In case of development of serviced housing plots, a minimum land area of 10 hectares; In case of construction-development projects, a minimum built up area of 50,000 square metres; In case of a combination project, anyone of the above two conditions would suffice.

Minimum capitalisation of US$ 10 million for wholly owned subsidiaries and US$ 5 million for joint ventures with Indian partners. The funds are to be brought in within six months of commencement of business of the Company. Original investment is not to be repatriated before a period of three years from completion of minimum capitalization. The investor is to be permitted to exit earlier with prior approval of the Government through the FIPB. At least 50% of the project must be developed within a period of five years from the date of obtaining all statutory clearances. The investor would not be permitted to sell undeveloped plots. Undeveloped plots will mean where roads, water supply, street lighting, drainage, sewerage and other conveniences as applicable under prescribed regulations have not been made available. The State Government/Municipal Local Body concerned, which approves the building/development plans, would monitor compliance of the above conditions by the developer.

(c).

(d).

(e).

Therefore applicable law only permits investment by an NRI under the automatic route in the Housing and Real Estate sector up to 100% in relation to townships, housing, built-up infrastructure and construction-development projects (which would include, but not be restricted to, housing, commercial premises, hotels, resorts, hospitals, 392

educational institutions, recreational facilities, city and regional level infrastructure) and additionally permits up to 100% FDI in the Housing and Real Estate subject to compliance with the terms provided in the Consolidated FDI Policy. Investments by FIIs FIIs including institutions such as pension funds, investment trusts, asset management companies, nominee companies and incorporated, institutional portfolio managers can invest in all the securities traded on the primary and secondary markets in India. FIIs are required to obtain an initial registration from SEBI and a general permission from the RBI to engage in transactions regulated under FEMA. FIIs must also comply with the provisions of the SEBI (Foreign Institutional Investors) Regulations, 1995, as amended from time to time. The initial registration and the RBIs general permission together enable the registered FII to buy (subject to the ownership restrictions discussed below) and sell freely securities issued by Indian companies, to realise capital gains or investments made through the initial amount invested in India, to subscribe or renounce rights issues for shares, to appoint a domestic custodian for custody of investments held and to repatriate the capital, capital gains, dividends, income received by way of interest and any compensation received towards sale or renunciation of rights issues of shares. By way of Circular No. 53 dated December 17, 2003, the RBI has permitted FIIs to subscribe to shares of an Indian company in a public offer without the prior approval of the RBI, so long as the price of the equity shares to be issued is not less than the price at which the equity shares are issued to residents. Transfers of equity shares previously required the prior approval of the FIPB. However, vide a RBI circular dated October 4, 2004 issued by the RBI, the transfer of shares between an Indian resident and a non-resident does not require the prior approval of the FIPB or the RBI, provided that (i) the activities of the investee company are under the automatic route under the foreign direct investment (FDI) Policy and transfer does not attract the provisions of the Takeover Code (ii) the non-resident shareholding is within the sectoral limits under the FDI policy, and (iii) the pricing is in accordance with the guidelines prescribed by the SEBI/RBI. Press Note 2 and Press Note 4 (2006 series) are not applicable to foreign investment under the portfolio investment scheme by FIIs under Schedule II of the Foreign Exchange Management (Transfer or Issue of Security by a Person Resident outside India) Regulations, 2000, as amended from time to time. The Company is eligible to issue Shares to FIIs under the portfolio investment scheme, covered under notification FEMA No. 20/2000-RB dated May 3, 2000 and subsequent amendments thereto. Pursuant to the Portfolio Investment Scheme, FII registered with the SEBI may buy or sell securities of Indian companies on stock exchanges in India through registered stock brokers. FIIs are also permitted to purchase shares and convertible debentures of an Indian company, subject to the specified percentage limits. The Equity Shares have not been and will not be registered, listed or otherwise qualified in any other jurisdiction outside India and may not be offered or sold, and Bids may not be made by persons in any such jurisdiction, except in compliance with the applicable laws of such jurisdiction. The Equity Shares have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities laws of the United States and may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Accordingly, the Equity Shares are being offered and sold (1) in the United States only to qualified institutional buyers (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) in transactions exempt from, or not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act and (2) outside the United States in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. The above information is given for the benefit of the Bidders. The Company and the BRLMs are not liable for any amendments or modification or changes in applicable laws or regulations, which may occur after the date of this Red Herring Prospectus. Bidders are advised to make their independent investigations and ensure that the number of Equity Shares Bid for do not exceed the applicable limits under laws or regulations.
