Press Release Body: INDIA's BOOMING REAL ESTATE MARKET

India is one of the fastest growing economies of the world. The country is
witnessing an upsurge in its realty industry; especially the property zone and the
investors are keen to invest their capital in prestigious Indian properties. Almost
70% of foreign investors are reaping huge profits in this sector, with 20% annual
appreciation on property values (Source: FICCI Survey, 2006). Besides offering
investor-friendly FDI and a clear taxation policy for the investors, the Indian real
estate market also boasts of being the second largest contributor towards its GDP.

Owning an Indian property can fetch an investor the following key benefits:

. 20% Annual Appreciation on Property Values
. Capitalization from Indian Special Economic Zones (SEZs)
. Investor-friendly FDI and a clear Taxation Policy
. 70% of Foreign Investors making Huge Profits (Source: FICCI Survey, 2006)
. Second Largest Contributor towards India's GDP

Real estate is one of the fastest growing sectors in India. Market analysis pegs
returns from realty in India at an average of 14% annually with a tremendous upsurge
in commercial real estate on account of the Indian BPO boom. Lease rentals have been
picking up steadily and there is a gaping demand for quality infrastructure. A
significant demand is also likely to be generated as the outsourcing boom moves into
the manufacturing sector. Further, the housing sector has been growing at an average
of 34% annually, while the hospitality industry witnessed a growth of 10-15% last
year.

Apart from the huge demand, India also scores on the construction front. A McKinsey
report reveals that the average profit from construction in India is 18%, which is
double the profitability for a construction project undertaken in the US. The
importance of the Real Estate sector, as an engine of the nation's growth, can be
gauged from the fact that it is the second largest employer next only to agriculture
and its size is close to US $ 12 billion and grows at about 30% per annum. Five per
cent of the country's GDP is contributed by the housing sector. In the next three or
four or five years this contribution to the GDP is expected to rise to 6%.

...Past Three Years

Indian Real Estate has been one of the high riding sectors since 2002- 2003. After a
bad decade of nineties, it has resurrected itself like never before. In fact, in
last three to four years, the property market in India has zoomed by more than 300%
in few cities. The average growth in India's real GDP over the last six years has
been 7.1%.

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has been rising in India over the past several
years. During the 1990s, annual FDI inflow was $2-3 billion a year. In 2004-2005, it
touched $5.6 billion, and in 2005-2006, it touched a peak of $7.2 billion (Source:
Jones Lang LaSalle Meghraj (JLLM) report).

Current Status

Indian real estate industry, which is currently pegged at $16 billion, is witnessing
increased interest from several international developers, primarily from the
Middle-East, South-East Asia and Europe.

The Indian real estate market is now a hot spot for global investors after new laws
were enacted last year allowing foreigners to own 100% of real estate assets. This
has invited more foreign investors and real estate sector in India is seemingly the
most lucrative ground at present. Private equity players are considering big
investments, banks are giving loans to builders, and financial institutions are
floating real estate funds.

As per the recent JLLM report, FDI worth about $30 billion (INR 1.32 lakh crores) is
in the pipeline for all Asian real estate markets, out of which about $6 billion is
planned for the Indian market alone for the year 2007.

Listed and unlisted real estate companies and private institutional funds are the
key players making FDI investments in India. More than a dozen overseas private
equity firms such as Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan and Blackstone Group
are looking at investment opportunities, or have already invested in the Indian real
estate market.

Investors are attracted to the strong commercial property yields across metros, the
high capital and rental value appreciation, and the availability of quality supply
in the country. With real estate yields in mature economies narrowing, India's
current commercial property yield of 10-11 % is viewed as attractive. Moreover,
rental rates for grade A commercial properties in Tier-I cities of Mumbai and Delhi
have appreciated by more than 100% in the last 15-18 months.

In spite of high entry barriers and low availability of land banks, about 94% of
capital investment in real estate is being deployed in Tier-I cities of Delhi,
Mumbai and Bangalore, according to the JLLM report. This can be attributed mainly to
the comparatively lower risk associated with these cities for developers.

What's more interesting is that a majority of realty issues have yielded phenomenal
returns to investors, although there has been a fair amount of volatility. As the
sector gets a facelift by organising itself, a number of local and regional players
emerge as key contenders in the marketplace. Therefore, the industry is likely to
witness dominance of local pioneers in different markets, such as DLF, Unitech or
Parsvanath in the north, or the likes of Sobha Developers, Puravankara Projects or
IVR Prime in select cities in the south.

Years to Come.

JLLM estimates that about $10 billion of foreign investment will enter the Indian
real estate sector over the next 12-18 months (starting from May 2007).

The growth of the real estate sector is expected to continue with strong ITITES,
banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI) and corporate demand driving the
office sector. The growth rate for the retail market is expected to be around 35%,
with organised retailing currently at a mere 3% of total retail. Foreign private
equity funds expect a return of 20-25 % from investments in Greenfield projects.

For the next two to three years, investment in Tier-I cities is expected to increase
as a result of growing demand in these locations. However, in future, as Tier-I real
estate markets mature, more investment will flow into Tier-II and Tier-III cities
such as Chennai, Pune, Kolkata and Hyderabad.

A sector wise analysis indicates that most of the foreign investment is going into
residential and mixed-used projects. According to the JLLM report, since the Reserve
Bank of India (RBI) does not permit developers to use bank loans for purchasing land
parcels, capital raised through private placements, foreign investments and funds
are being used largely for land purchases.


GURGAON - THE 'CORPORATE CAPITAL' OF INDIA

Gurgaon, an important satellite town of Delhi (India's capital city), is a symbol of
ancient Hindu Mythology, having derived its name from Indian epic 'Mahabharata'.
Previously known as 'Guru-Gram', meaning 'Village of the Teacher', Gurgaon is the
most eminent Corporate Hub in South Asia and the most prominent outsourcing and
off-shoring hubs of India. More popularly known as the headquarter of India's

at Gurgaon Sohna Road, MG Road, Old Gurgaon Road and Golf Course Road.

RIGHT TIME FOR NRIs TO INVEST IN INDIA

The $12 billion Indian real estate market (2004-05) is expected to reach $50 billion
by the year end of 2010, growing at the rate of 33%.

The booming growth in real estate market in India is due to an exploding economy,
liberal FDI regime, new technological innovations making inroads into India, new
norms and policies and entry of world class companies in the hospitality and
entertainment sector.

The Indian real estate sector is the second largest employer of people.

In a report by Price Waterhouse Coopers:

In India's fast-growing economy, real estate has emerged as one of the most
appealing investment areas for domestic as well as foreign investors. The real
estate sector will continue to derive its growth from the booming IT sector, since
an estimated 70 per cent of the new construction is for the IT sector.

Favourable interest rates, modern attitudes to home ownership (the average age of a
new homeowner is now 32 years compared with 45 years a decade ago), economic
prosperity along with a change of attitude amongst the young working population from
that of 'save and buy' to 'buy and repay' and liberalised FDI regime have all
contributed to this boom.

With the rise in potential of Tier II and Tier II cities the investment
opportunities have increased manifold.
Moreover 100 per cent FDI is allowed in real estate development and the Indian
government has played a major role in supporting the growth of the real estate
sector by allowing NRI investment.

In a recent report by Merrill Lynch:

Mall space is expected to increase dramatically in the coming years. India Property
Exhibitions are being conducted in major cities of the world, to raise awareness
about investment opportunities Indian Real Estate has.
