3. LAND SOURCING <strong>UPDATE</strong><br />

i. 433 acres of the Project land (the “Land”)<br />

has been secured in Title Deeds (“TD”)<br />

(86.6% of the land acquisition/registration<br />

has been completed). The balance 67<br />

submitted for registration shortly.<br />

ii. The Land is expected to be<br />

procured / registered in full with all<br />

approvals/clearances by the end of Q3<br />

The delay in procuring the Land has been due<br />

to volatility in the market conditions but also<br />

to the uncertainty caused by the Indian federal<br />

election held in May 2009.<br />

4. LAND VALUATION<br />

6. Master Planning Update<br />

The world’s largest architectural firm, HOK<br />

International (Singapore) Private Limited<br />

(“HOK”) (Source: World Architecture<br />

magazine 2006) had presented three different<br />

alternative concepts. These were initially<br />

reviewed by Opus and C. P. Kukreja &<br />

Associates, an architect firm; who submitted<br />

their comments. HOK modified and<br />

submitted the fourth revised Master Plan<br />

(“MP”) concept. This MP was presented by<br />

HOK to the Board of Directors (“BOD”) of the<br />

Project Company in the last meeting on 26th<br />

March 2009 in Mumbai.<br />

Considering the global financial crisis and its<br />

impact on the market conditions it was then<br />

decided to conduct a Consumer Preference<br />

and Perception study (“Market Survey”) by<br />

AC Nielsen ORG- MARG (“NOM”) to suggest<br />

the ideal product mix for the Project. NOM<br />

has submitted its market Survey report taking<br />

into account the change in market scenario<br />

and by-laws.<br />

The revised product mix submitted is as<br />

follows:-<br />

Product Mix Earlier Revised<br />

Township 50% 38%<br />

<strong>Commercial</strong> 5% 10%<br />

IT/ Nonpolluting<br />

Industry - 6%<br />

Entertainment Area - 4%<br />

Public Open Space 15% 15%<br />

Community<br />

Use/ Amenities 10% 9%<br />

Others 20% 18%<br />

Note: Please note that as per the revised<br />

by-laws an additional saleable area of 4%<br />

(Entertainment area) has been made<br />

available. This has the same value as the<br />

<strong>Commercial</strong> area.<br />

The Project Company forwarded the revised<br />

product mix to HOK. In turn, HOK has<br />

incorporated the corresponding changes in<br />

their Conceptual Master Plan and have<br />

submitted a Draft revised conceptual master<br />

plan. The revised draft is currently under<br />

finalisation and is being discussed by the<br />

Project Company with the local government<br />

body to ensure compliance with by-laws and<br />

its acceptability.<br />

Concurrently, the Detailed Project Report<br />

(“DPR”) application is also being finalised<br />

which includes detailed drawings with<br />

respect to specific development no<br />

components such as built-up area, roads,<br />

utilities and infrastructure.<br />

On completion of the above HOK will then<br />

prepare the Final Conceptual Master Plan<br />

along with the DPR application which will be<br />

submitted to the Board for their perusal and<br />

approval. On approval it will be submitted to<br />

the local government for necessary clearance<br />

permits. We expect the DPR approval to be<br />

obtained by late Q3/early Q4 2009.<br />
