CERTAIN CONVENTIONS; PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL AND MARKET DATA In this Red Herring Prospectus, references to our lands or Land Reserves are to lands where, as of April 30, 2007, registered title is owned by our Company, our subsidiaries or entities that have granted us sole development rights; our proportionate interest in lands in respect of which we have joint development agreements (including imputed acreage based on saleable area); lands leased or allotted to us by relevant local authorities; and lands in respect of which we, or entities that have granted us sole development rights, have entered into an agreement or a memorandum of understanding to purchase or develop. The Land Reserves figures herein may include lands in respect of which we have already recognized revenue, due in part to the application of percentage of completion accounting, and do not include lands under acquisition for which we only have preliminary development plans. All references to Rupees or Rs. are to Indian Rupees, the official currency of the Republic of India. One crore is the unit in the Indian numbering system representing 10 million or 100 lac and one lac is the unit in the Indian numbering system representing 100,000; thus, for example, Rs. 10 crore equals Rs. 100 million. All references to US$ or U.S. Dollars are to United States Dollars, the official currency of the United States of America. Unless stated otherwise, the financial data in this Red Herring Prospectus is derived from our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with Indian GAAP and the SEBI Guidelines, which are included in this Red Herring Prospectus. Our fiscal year commences on April 1 and ends on March 31 of the next year, so all references to a particular fiscal year are to the twelve month period ended on March 31 of that year. Our consolidated financial statements have been restated to reflect our adoption of the percentage of completion accounting method, among other things. There are significant differences between Indian GAAP, IFRS and U.S. GAAP. Except to the extent of the limited summary of such differences contained in this document, we have not attempted to explain those differences or quantify their impact on the financial data included herein and we urge you to consult your own advisors regarding such differences and their impact on our financial data. Accordingly, the degree to which the Indian GAAP financial statements included in this Red Herring Prospectus will provide meaningful information is entirely dependent on the readers level of familiarity with Indian accounting practices. Any reliance by persons not familiar with Indian accounting practices on the financial disclosures presented in this Red Herring Prospectus should accordingly be limited. In this Red Herring Prospectus, any discrepancies in any table between the totals and the sum of the amounts listed are due to rounding. Market and industry data used in this Red Herring Prospectus has generally been obtained or derived from industry publications and sources. These publications typically state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable but that their accuracy and completeness are not guaranteed and their reliability cannot be assured. Accordingly, no investment decisions should be made based on such information. Although we believe that industry data used in this Red Herring Prospectus is reliable, it has not been verified. Similarly, internal Company reports, while believed by us to be reliable, have not been verified by any independent sources. We have used in this Red Herring Prospectus, market and industry data prepared by consultants such as CRIS INFAC, NCAER, HVS International, Cushman & Wakefield (India) Private Limited, Jones Lang LaSalle India, Knight Frank India Pvt. Ltd. and Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry. We have retained and may retain and compensate some of the consultants for various engagements in the ordinary course of our business. We have also used in this Red Herring Prospectus, data from the ACNielsen Report and macroeconomic data prepared by the Central Statistical Organisation and the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy. The extent to which the market, industry and macroeconomic data used in this Red Herring Prospectus is meaningful depends on the readers familiarity with and understanding of the methodologies used in compiling such data. There are no standard data gathering methodologies in the real estate industry in India and methodologies and assumptions may vary widely among different industry sources. The following table sets forth, for each period indicated, information concerning the number of Rupees for which one U.S. Dollar could be exchanged at the noon buying rate in the City of New York on the last business day of the applicable period for cable transfers in Rupees as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New x
York. The column titled Average in the table below is the average of the daily noon buying rate for each day in the period.

RISK FACTORS An investment in our Equity Shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider all the information in this Red Herring Prospectus, including the risks and uncertainties described below, before making an investment in our Equity Shares. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and the value of our properties could suffer, the trading price of our Equity Shares could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment. The risk factors below have been numbered to facilitate ease of reading and reference; the numbering does not in any manner indicate the importance of one risk factor over another. Internal Risk Factors and Risks Relating to Our Business 1. We have received complaints from our minority shareholders with regard to our rights issue of debentures in 2005. In fiscal 2006, our Company offered for subscription 3,508,007 unsecured debentures on a rights basis to shareholders of our Company as on November 18, 2005, which were optionally, fully or partly convertible at par or at premium. The offer opened on December 29, 2005 and closed on January 18, 2006, and 3,426,024 debentures were issued in respect of the applications received during the specified time period. Subsequently, and as of the date of this RHP our Company has received 519 complaints from certain shareholders of our Company, who did not participate in and/or were not allotted debentures in the rights issue of our Company for various reasons, including non-receipt of letter of the offer for the rights issue and/or the terms of such rights issue being allegedly unattractive to such shareholders. For details regarding these complaints and the actions taken by us in this connection, see Capital Structure Notes to the Capital Structure Note 23 and Note 25 on page 40 and Outstanding Litigation and Material Developments Against our Company Complaints Against our Company on page 398. While we believe that we have implemented measures to address these complaints, we cannot assure you that these measures will be satisfactory to all complainants or that there will be no further complaints in this regard. 2. Our business is heavily dependent on the performance of the real estate market and the availability of real estate financing in India. Our business is heavily dependent on the performance of the real estate market in India, particularly in the regions in which we operate, and could be adversely affected if market conditions deteriorate. Real estate projects take a substantial amount of time to develop, and we could incur losses if we purchase land at high prices and we have to sell or lease our developed projects during weaker economic periods. Further, the real estate market both for land and developed properties is relatively illiquid, in that there may be high transaction costs as well as little or insufficient demand for land or developed properties at the expected rental or sale price, as the case may be, which may limit our ability to respond promptly to market events. The real estate market is significantly affected by changes in government policies, economic conditions, demographic trends, employment and income levels and interest rates, among other factors. These factors can negatively affect the demand for and the valuation of our projects under development and our planned projects. Lower interest rates on financing from Indias retail banks and housing finance companies, particularly for residential real estate, and favourable tax treatment of loans, have helped fuel the recent growth of the Indian real estate market. However, India has experienced rising interest rates over the last two fiscal years, with the RBI repo rate rising from 6.0% as of March 31, 2005 to 6.5% as of March 31, 2006 to 7.75% as of April 30, 2007. Rising interest rates could discourage consumers from borrowing to finance real estate purchases and could depress the real estate market. Changes in interest rates could also affect the willingness and ability of our prospective real estate customers, particularly the customers for our residential properties, to obtain financing for their purchases of units in our developments. The interest rate at which our real estate customers may borrow funds affects the affordability of, and hence the market demand for, our residential real estate developments. Mortgage rates have risen by over 3% over the past year. 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 of property or developer financing and the RBI or the GoI xiv
may take further measures designed to reduce or having the effect of reducing credit to the real estate sector. If the demand for, or supply of, real estate financing at attractive rates were to diminish or cease to exist, our business and financial results could be adversely affected. 3. Our revenues and profits are difficult to predict and can vary significantly from period to period, which could cause the price of our Equity Shares to fluctuate. Under our business model, revenues and profits are derived primarily from the sale of properties and the leasing of commercial and retail properties. While rental income can be relatively stable, revenues from sales are dependent on various factors such as the size of our developments and the extent to which they qualify for percentage of completion treatment under our revenue recognition policies, rights of lessors or third parties that could impair our ability to sell properties and general market conditions. In addition, the anticipated completion dates for our projects, including those set forth in this Red Herring Prospectus, are estimates based on current expectations and could change significantly, thereby affecting the timing of our sales. The combination of these factors may result in significant variations in our revenues and profits. Therefore, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as indicative of our future performance. If in the future our results of operations are below market expectations, the price of our Equity Shares could decline. 4. The increase in our revenues and profits before tax for fiscal 2007 is due largely to the sale of certain commercial properties to a promoter group company, and may not be indicative of future financial performance. Our revenues and profits before tax for fiscal 2007 were Rs. 4,034.1 crore and Rs. 2,549.5 crore, respectively, compared to Rs. 1,242.0 crore and Rs. 359.5 crore, respectively, during fiscal 2006. This increase was mainly on account of revenues and profit before tax of Rs. 2,207.1 crore and Rs. 1,564.0 crore respectively, from the sale of commercial property to DLF Assets Private Limited, which is a company owned and controlled by our promoters and promoter group (DAL). These sales represented 55% of our total revenues and 61% of our total profit before tax in fiscal 2007. The main reason for the increase in sales revenue was the sale by us of certain commercial properties to DAL. The total consideration for these sales was Rs. 2,401.5 crore. Of this amount, we recognized two sales (by DLF Info City Developers (Chennai) Limited and DLF Commercial Developers Limited, subsidiaries of the Company) aggregating Rs. 880.5 crore as sales revenue in accordance with Accounting Standard 9, Revenue Recognition. In respect of the remaining consideration of Rs. 1,521 crore, Rs. 1,055 crore was recognized under other income after deducting the associated costs. Of this amount, the proceeds of Rs. 442 crore from the sale of two properties by DLF Cyber City Developers Limited were treated as profit on disposal of fixed assets in accordance with Accounting Standard 10, Accounting for fixed assets and after adjusting for expenses relating thereto. Proceeds of Rs. 613 crore from the sale of shares of two companies by DLF Commercial Developers Limited were treated as profit on disposal of current investments in accordance with Accounting Standard 13, Accounting for Investments and after adjusting for expenses relating thereto. For further information, see Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Comparison of Fiscal 2007 to Fiscal 2006 on page 388. In the event that we do not make such significant one-off sales in the future, our revenues and profits in future periods may not be as high as they were for fiscal 2007. 5. If we are unable to manage our growth effectively, our business and financial results will be adversely affected.
We are embarking on an ambitious growth strategy, which involves a substantial expansion of our current business lines, as well as diversification into new business areas. We have also, within a short recent period, sought to augment our Land Reserves significantly and we have entered into or are contemplating entering into joint venture arrangements in a number of different sectors, in some of which we are very reliant on our joint venture partners expertise. Our expansion and diversification is on a scale that is unprecedented in our history and will place significant demands on our management as well as our financial, accounting and operating systems. Thus, as we grow and diversify, we may not be able to execute our projects efficiently and the growth process may divert management resources from areas in which they would be better occupied, which could result in delays, failures, increased costs and diminished quality and may adversely affect our reputation. If we are unable to manage our growth effectively, our business and financial results could be adversely affected. xv
6. We have incurred substantial indebtedness, and we may not have adequate resources to finance our real estate developments or to service our financing obligations. We have incurred substantial indebtedness to finance our land acquisitions, advances for land development rights and the development and construction of our projects. In fiscal 2006, we incurred finance charges of Rs. 309.5 crore, of which Rs. 141.0 crore was capitalised and Rs. 168.5 crore was recorded as an expense in our income statement. In fiscal 2007, we incurred finance charges of Rs. 789.6 crore, of which Rs. 482.0 crore was capitalized and Rs. 307.6 crore was recorded as an expense in our income statement. The table below shows certain data relating to our outstanding loans as of the dates indicated. Outstanding loans Secured loans Unsecured loans Total loans Of which, floating rate loans March 31, 2007 (Rs. in crore) 9,205.3 727.5 9,932.8 7,489.3 March 31, 2006 (Rs. in crore) 3,956.0 176.0 4,132.0 3,924.9
Our debt-equity ratio as of March 31, 2007 was 2.5:1, and as of March 31, 2006 was 4.35:1. As of that date our subsidiaries had preference share capital of Rs. 949.8 crore. In addition, we had guarantees outstanding of Rs. 8.6 crore on a consolidated basis, and Rs. 462.9 crore of put option against the preference shares issued by an associate company, as of March 31, 2007. As of April 30, 2007, we had outstanding Rs. 4,395.6 crore towards payment for the acquisition of Land Reserves and Rs. 1,054.0 crore for the acquisition of 554 acres of land for which development plans are at a preliminary stage. These payments may have to be funded by the incurrence of additional debt. We intend to pursue a strategy of continued investment in additional real estate projects across our existing and new business lines for which we will need additional financing. We expect to incur debt to fund portions of this expenditure, which could result in significant increases to our overall indebtedness and leverage and therefore, our borrowing costs. Our ability to borrow and the terms of our borrowings will depend on our financial condition, the stability of our cash flows and our capacity to service debt in a rising interest rate environment. We may not be successful in obtaining additional funds in a timely manner, on favorable terms or at all. If we do not have access to these funds, we may be required to delay or abandon some or all of our planned developments or to reduce capital expenditures, advances to obtain land development rights and the scale of our operations. 7. A decline in the financial stability of our commercial and retail tenants or our prospective tenants may adversely affect our business and financial results. General economic conditions may adversely affect the financial stability of our tenants and prospective tenants and/or the demand for our commercial and retail real estate. In the event of a default by a tenant prior to the expiry of a lease, we will suffer a rental shortfall and incur additional costs, including legal expenses, in maintaining, insuring and reletting the property. If we are unable to re-let or renew lease contracts promptly, if the rentals upon such renewals or releasing are significantly lower than the expected value or if reserves, if any, for these purposes prove inadequate, our results of operations, financial condition and the value of our real estate could be adversely affected. 8. We may not be able to replenish our land reserves by acquiring suitable sites.
Our historical growth has been significantly dependent upon our ability to acquire land or development rights to land at a relatively low cost. Our growth plans will require us to use our land reserves at a rapid rate. In order to maintain and grow our business, we will be required to replenish our land reserves with suitable sites for development. Our ability to identify and acquire suitable sites is dependent on a number of factors that may be beyond our control. These factors include the availability of suitable land, the willingness of landowners to sell land on attractive terms, the ability to obtain an agreement to purchase from all the owners where land has multiple owners, the availability and cost of financing, encumbrances on targeted land, government directives on land use and the obtaining of permits and approvals for land acquisition and development. The failure to acquire or obtain development rights over targeted land may cause xvi
us to modify, delay or abandon entire projects, which in turn could cause our business to suffer. Further, developments which are contingent on receiving allocations of land by government authorities are subject to the risk of changes in government policies or failure by the relevant authority to acquire sufficient land, which may not allow us to complete the relevant project as planned, or at all. For details on our Land Reserves which are subject to the allocation by government, see Our Business Description of our Business Land Reserves on page 71. In addition, land acquisition in India has historically been subject to regulatory restrictions on foreign investment. These restrictions are gradually being relaxed and this, combined with the aggressive growth strategies and financing plans of real estate development companies as well as real estate investment funds in the country, is likely to make suitable land increasingly expensive. Our recent land acquisitions, for example, have been significantly more expensive than our historical land acquisitions. If we are unable to compete effectively in the acquisition of suitable land, our business and prospects could be adversely affected. 9. We may not be able to develop all of our Land Reserves.
We have Land Reserves in various regions across India. As of April 30, 2007, these Land Reserves amounted to 10,255 acres with an aggregate estimated developable area of approximately 574 million square feet, including 4 million square feet of completed development, and of which 44 million square feet (excluding the share of joint venture partners) is under construction. Details of these Land Reserves are set forth in the table below:

* Does not include 554 acres for which we have not yet finalized development plans. (1) Land to which the owner has freehold title. (2) Includes 38 acres of land which has been leased to us by governmental authorities. (3) The effect of MoUs, agreements to purchase and letters of acceptance is to grant a party the right to acquire property (either by way of leasehold rights or freehold rights) at a later date. (4) Includes our proportionate interest of 2,178 acres in the Dankuni project which comprises a total of 4,840 acres. (5) As described below, the commercial effect of sole development rights is to entitle us to substantially all the revenues from the relevant development. (6) We estimate that as of April 30, 2007, we had entered into 154 agreements in respect of these lands. (7) As described below, the commercial effect of joint development agreements is to entitle us to a proportion of the revenues from the development or built-up area with the joint development partner(s). (8) Land which is owned or leased by entities in which DLF is a shareholder. (9) Of these, approximately 60% comprises land for which we have not yet obtained a certificate for change of land use. (10) Provided or to be provided by counterparties to sole development agreements, as described below.
For a detailed description of each category of Land Reserves mentioned above, see Our Business Description of our Business Land Reserves on page 71. As of April 30, 2007, the balance due in respect of payments for the acquisition of our Land Reserves was Rs. 4,395.6 crore out of a total consideration of Rs. 13,491.1 crore. xviii
Approximately 60% of our total Land Reserves comprises land for which we have not yet obtained a certificate for change of land use. The procedure for obtaining a certificate for change of land use varies from state to state. However, the procedure typically followed in each state in India includes the filing of an application (along with the requisite documents) in a prescribed format with the relevant authority for obtaining a change of land use permission/certificate. Such application is considered by the relevant authority on the basis of criteria established in the relevant zoning regulations for the development of such land. A decision is communicated by the relevant authority within a prescribed period from the date of submission of the application. The applicant is also required to pay fees for a certificate of change of land use, which may vary from state to state. Our ability to develop our Land Reserves and generate the estimated developable area is subject to a number of risks and contingencies, some of which are summarized below: the title to the lands we own may be defective or could be challenged; the MoUs and agreements to purchase land may expire, and we may not be able to renew the agreements that have expired; we may not receive the lands that are supposed to be allocated to us by government authorities, whether as a result of political factors or otherwise; we may not receive the expected benefits of the sole development rights we have been granted; and we may not be able to generate the estimated developable area in our Land Reserves.
Some of these risks are discussed in greater detail below. If any of these risks materialize, we may not be able to develop our Land Reserves and generate developed area in the manner we currently contemplate, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. 10. Our Company owns only 0.5% of the Land Reserves. Though our Company and its subsidiaries own 1,160 acres, or 11.3%, of the 10,255 acres that comprise the Land Reserves as of April 30, 2007, our Company directly owns only 0.5% of these Land Reserves. The balance 10.8% is held by the subsidiaries of our Company. Of the 1,160 acres that we own, 38 acres have been leased to us by governmental authorities on a long-term basis and we have freehold title to the balance. The remaining Land Reserves are subject to agreements to purchase, development rights agreements or memoranda of understanding for acquisition. While historically we have been able to acquire or develop land subject to such arrangements, completion risk is inherent in executory contracts and rising land prices may encourage our counterparties to renege on such arrangements, resulting in the possibility of expensive disputes of uncertain outcome. For details on the Land Reserves which we own, are subject to agreements to purchase, development rights agreements and memoranda of understanding, see We may not be able to develop all of our Land Reserveson page xvii and of the Land Reserves which are owned by us, see Our Business Description of our Business Land Reserves on page 71. 11. We face uncertainty of title to our lands. The difficulty of obtaining title guarantees in India means that title records provide only for presumptive rather than guaranteed title. 60% of our Land Reserves consist of agricultural lands for which we have not yet obtained a certificate for change of land use. The title to these lands is often fragmented and the land may, in many cases, have multiple owners. Some of these lands may have irregularities of title, such as non-execution or non-registration of conveyance deeds and inadequate stamping and may be subject to encumbrances of which we may not be aware. Additionally, some of our projects are being executed through joint ventures in collaboration with third parties. In some of these projects, the title to the land may be owned by our joint venture partners, and we cannot assure you that these persons or entities have clear title to such lands. For details of the proportionate interests in land which we own through joint ventures, see We may not be able to develop all of our Land Reserves on page xvii.
xix
Additionally we face various practical difficulties in verifying the title of a prospective seller or lessor of property. Indian law, for example, recognizes the ability of persons to effectuate a valid mortgage on an unregistered basis by the physical delivery of original title documents to a lender. Adverse possession under Indian law also gives rise, upon 12 years occupation, to valid ownership rights as against all parties, including government entities that are landowners, without the requirement of registration of ownership rights by the adverse possessor. Furthermore, under Indian law, a married person retains property rights to land alienated by their spouse if such married person has not consented to such alienation, effectively requiring consent by each spouse to all land transfers in order for a transferee to receive good title. Indian law also recognizes the concept of a Hindu undivided family, whereby all family members, including minor children, jointly own land and must consent to its transfer, absent whose consent a land transfer may be challenged by a non-consenting family member. Our title to land may be defective as a result of a failure on our part, or on the part of a prior transferee, to obtain the consent of all such persons. As each transfer in a chain of title may be subject to these and other defects, our title and development rights over land may be subject to various defects of which we are not aware. For these and other reasons, title insurance is not readily available in India. The uncertainty of title to land makes the acquisition and development process more complicated, may impede the transfer of title, expose us to legal disputes and adversely affect our land valuations. Legal disputes in respect of land title can take several years and considerable expense to resolve if they become the subject of court proceedings and their outcome can be uncertain. If we or the owners of the land which is the subject of our development agreements are unable to resolve such disputes with these claimants, we may lose our interest in the land. The failure to obtain good title to a particular plot of land may materially prejudice the success of a development for which that plot is a critical part and may require us to write off expenditures in respect of the development. In addition, lands for which we or entities which have granted us sole development rights, have entered into agreements to purchase but have not yet acquired form a significant part of our growth strategy and the failure to obtain good title to these lands could adversely impact our property valuations and prospects. For details of our Land Reserves, see Our Business Description of our Business Land Reserves on page 71 and for details on our sole development rights and our agreement to purchase with respect to our Land Reserves, see We may not be able to develop all of our Land Reserves on page xvii. 12. It is often impracticable to obtain legal opinions in respect of land title in India and the counsel involved in the Issue have not provided title opinions. There may be a number of uncertainties relating to land title in India including, among other things, difficulties in obtaining title guarantees and fragmented or defective title (see We face uncertainty of title to our lands on page xix). While we seek to retain local lawyers to conduct due diligence and assessment exercises and issue title opinions prior to acquiring land, entering into joint or sole development agreements with land owners, and undertaking projects, with regard to many of the lands which comprise our Land Reserves, it is impracticable for counsel to satisfy various technical requirements which arise out of court decisions because of the uncertainties discussed above. As a consequence, we do not have title opinions in respect of all of our Land Reserves. Further, in respect of the lands for which we have obtained title opinions from the local counsels, we may not be able to assess or identify all the risks and liabilities associated with the land, such as faulty or disputed title, unregistered encumbrances or adverse possession rights. Prospective investors should note that neither legal counsel to the Issuer nor to the Underwriters is providing opinions in respect of title to our Land Reserves. For details on the Land Reserves, see Our Business Description of our Business Land Reserves on page 71. 13. Our inability to procure contiguous parcels of land may affect our future development activities. We acquire parcels of land and 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 contiguous land mass, upon which we undertake development. In the past, we have not experienced difficulties in procuring such parcels of land and consolidating them. However, we may not be able to procure such parcels of land at all or on terms that are acceptable to us, which may affect our ability to consolidate parcels of land into a contiguous mass. Failure to acquire such parcels of land may cause delays or force us to abandon or modify the development of the land in such locations, which may result in our failing to realise our investment for acquiring such parcels of land. Accordingly, our inability to procure contiguous parcels of land may adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects. xx
14. Some of our projects are in the preliminary stages of planning. Some of our projects are in the preliminary stages of planning and development and, in some cases, we have not yet acquired planning approval. In addition to our residential, commercial and retail projects, we intend to develop SEZs, build infrastructure and construct hotels. For further information on our SEZs, infrastructure and hotel plans, see Our Business Strategy on page 69. Our plans in relation to these intended projects are yet to be finalised. We require statutory and regulatory approval and permits to successfully execute these projects. There cannot be any assurance that the relevant authorities will issue any such approvals or permits in the anticipated time frames or at all. Any delay or failure to obtain the approvals or permits required for our project plans may adversely affect our business and prospects. 15. Agreements with third parties in relation to the purchase of land may expire or be invalid. As is common in real estate transactions in India, we or the entities that grant us development rights enter into agreements to purchase land from third parties prior to the transfer or conveyance of title. These agreements typically stipulate time frames within which title to lands must be conveyed and provide that all or a part of the advance monies paid to these third parties may be forfeited in the event that the acquisition process is not completed within the agreed time frames. In certain situations, agreements to purchase land may expire or contain irregularities that may invalidate them. For example, certain agreements for the acquisition of land in Gurgaon in respect of which we have been granted sole development rights, have expired. If such irregularities exist in the properties that we have acquired, the properties for which we have entered into joint development agreements or the properties in which entities have granted us sole development rights, we may not be able to develop such properties, which could have an adverse affect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects. For details on our agreements to purchase, sole development rights and joint development agreements with respect to our Land Reserves, see We may not be able to develop all of our Land Reserves on page xvii and on the Land Reserves which are subject to MoUs/agreements to purchase/letters of acceptance to which the Company and/or its subsidiaries are parties, see Our Business Description of our Business Land Reserves on page 71. 16. Any breach under our financing agreements could force us to sell assets or trigger a cross-default under our other financing agreements. Our financing agreements contain restrictive covenants regarding, among other things, our capital structure, the constitution of our Board, raising additional finance, the disposition of assets and the expansion of our business. These agreements also require us to maintain certain financial ratios. Should we breach any financial or other covenants contained in any of our financing agreements, we may be required to immediately repay our borrowings either in whole or in part, together with any related costs. We may be forced to sell some or all of the assets in our portfolio if we do not have sufficient cash or credit facilities to make repayments. Additionally, if our borrowings are secured against all or a portion of our assets, lenders may be able to sell those assets. Furthermore, our financing arrangements may contain cross default provisions which could automatically trigger defaults under other financing arrangements, in turn magnifying the effect of an individual default. 17. We may not be successful in identifying suitable projects, which may impede our growth. Our ability to identify suitable projects is fundamental to our business and involves certain risks, including identifying and acquiring appropriate land or development rights over appropriate land, appealing to the tastes of residential customers, understanding and responding to the requirements of commercial clients and anticipating the changing retail trends in India. In identifying new projects, we also need to take into account land use regulations, the lands proximity to resources such as water and electricity and the availability and competence of third parties such as architects, surveyors, engineers and contractors. While we have successfully identified suitable projects in the past, we may not be as successful in identifying suitable projects that meet market demand in the future. The failure to identify suitable projects, build or develop saleable or lettable properties or meet customer demand in a timely manner could result in lost or reduced profits. In addition, such failure could reduce the number of projects we undertake and slow our growth.
xxi
18. We may not be able to compete effectively, particularly in regional markets and in our new businesses. We may face significant competition from other real estate developers, many of whom undertake similar projects within the same regional markets as us. Given the fragmented nature of the real estate development industry, we often do not have adequate information about the projects our competitors are developing and accordingly, we run the risk of underestimating supply in the market. Our business plan is to expand across India; however, our operations have historically focussed on the Delhi and Gurgaon regions. As we seek to diversify our regional focus, we face the risk that some of our competitors, who are also engaged in real estate development, may be better known in other markets, enjoy better relationships with landowners and international joint venture partners, gain early access to information regarding attractive parcels of land and be better placed to acquire such land. We and our retail tenants compete with other retail distribution channels, including department stores and malls, in attracting customers. Moreover, we compete with other retail real estate developers seeking suitable retail tenants. Similarly, we must also compete with an increasing number of commercial real estate developers. Increasing competition could result in price and supply volatility, which could cause our business to suffer. In addition, we are expanding into new businesses such as SEZs, infrastructure and hotels, and have entered into a joint venture for a life insurance business. We have little experience in these businesses and may not be able to compete effectively with established and new competitors in these businesses. 19. The success of our residential property business is dependent on our ability to anticipate and respond to consumer requirements. The growing disposable income of Indias 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 in new residential developments. Our focus on the development of high quality luxury residential accommodation requires us to satisfy these demanding consumer expectations. The sorts of amenities now demanded by consumers include those that have historically been uncommon in Indias residential real estate market such as 24-hour electricity, running water and amenities such as parking, gardens, playgrounds, swimming pools, fitness centres, tennis courts and golf courses. If we fail to anticipate and respond to consumer requirements, we could lose potential clients to competitors, which in turn could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects. 20. The expansion of our commercial real estate business is dependent on the willingness and ability of corporate customers to pay rent at suitable levels. Our commercial real estate business has historically targeted, and will continue to target, multinational companies. Our growth and success will therefore depend on the provision of high quality office space to attract and retain clients who are willing and able to pay rent 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, the telecommunications, broadband and wireless systems that our clients require involve additional costs associated with installation and maintenance by third parties. In addition, our commercial customers may choose to acquire or develop their own commercial facilities, which may reduce the demand for our commercial properties from these customers. Companies in the IT and ITES industries constitute a significant proportion of our commercial tenant base and our commercial business would be adversely affected if these industries were to experience a slowdown or if companies in these industries were to scale down their operations. 21. The success of our retail strategy depends on our ability to build malls in appropriate locations and attract suitable retailers and customers. The success of our retail real estate business depends on our ability to recognize and respond to the changing trends in Indias retail sector. We believe that in order to draw consumers away from traditional shopping environments such as small local retail stores or markets as well as from competing malls, we need to create demand for our malls where customers can take advantage of a variety of retail options, such as large department stores, in addition to amenities such as designer stores, comprehensive entertainment facilities, including our multiplex cinemas, air conditioning and underground parking. Further, to help ensure our malls success, we must secure suitable anchor tenants and other retailers as they play a key role in generating customer traffic. With the likely entry of major international retail companies into India and the xxii
establishment of competing retail operations, there will be an increasing need to attract and retain major anchor tenants and other retailers who can successfully compete with the growing presence of large international retailers. A decline in retail spending or a decrease in the popularity of the retailers businesses could cause retailers to cease operations or experience significant financial difficulties that in turn could harm our ability to continue to attract successful retailers and visitors to our malls. 22. Our plans to develop SEZs are subject to a number of contingencies and may not be successful. As part of our business strategy, we plan to develop SEZs. Our success in the development of SEZs will depend on our ability to attract manufacturing or industrial units that conduct business within the SEZs as well as the continued availability of fiscal incentives under the SEZ regime and appropriate financing options for SEZ units. Since the SEZ regime has only been in force for a relatively short time, the relevant regulations may be subject to inconsistent interpretation and, thus, there may be instances of divergent opinions among local, state, national and judicial authorities as to their application. Further, there has recently been tension between local groups in certain areas regarding the compulsory acquisition of land under the SEZ regime and the compensation to be paid to displaced farmers. Such situations could have serious and adverse repercussions for SEZ projects throughout the country. The SEZ regime has also attracted public interest litigation in Indian courts, including the Supreme Court of India. As a result, aspects of the SEZ regime are currently under review by the GoI and approvals of proposed SEZs have been temporarily suspended. In addition, as a result of current developments within the SEZ sector, the relevant central government authorities may prevent state governments from acquiring land on behalf of private developers of SEZs and may also reduce the area of land acquirable for SEZ developments. Accordingly, the development of certain of our proposed SEZs, which rely on the cooperation of the state governments, may be adversely affected. The uncertainty as to the future of the SEZ regime and as to the application and evolution of relevant regulations as well as the possibility of withdrawal of applicable incentives and concessions and the current suspensions of approvals of proposed SEZs create substantial risks to our current and planned investments in SEZ developments. We have withdrawn our applications for the development of SEZs in Shamshabad (Hyderabad) and Panchkula (Haryana) because we were unable to obtain the requisite land for the planned developments. For further details of the SEZs proposed by the Company, see Our Business Strategy Engage in SEZ development" on page 70. 23. Our plans to develop infrastructure projects are subject to a number of contingencies and may not be successful. As part of our growth strategy, we intend to participate in the construction of infrastructure projects, including roads, bridges, tunnels, pipelines, harbors, runways and power projects, through our joint venture company, DLF Laing ORourke. For further information on our infrastructure development plans, see Our Business Strategy Engage in infrastructure development on page 70. The construction of infrastructure involves various risks, including, among others, regulatory risk, construction risk, financing risk and the risk that these projects may prove to be unprofitable. Additionally, infrastructure projects typically require extended periods of development and substantial investment before completion and may take months or years before positive cash flows can be generated, if at all. The time and costs required in completing a project may be subject to substantial increases due to many factors, including shortages of materials, equipment, technical skills and labor, adverse weather conditions, natural disasters, labor disputes, environmental disputes, disputes with contractors, changes in government priorities and policies, changes in market conditions, delays in obtaining the requisite licenses, permits and approvals from the relevant authorities and other unforeseeable problems and circumstances. Moreover, infrastructure projects could have an environmental impact and may result in the displacement of persons, which could give rise to private and public interest litigation seeking to delay or abort the projects. Any delays in the completion and commercial operation of our infrastructure projects as well as increases in the prices of raw materials such as cement and steel, among others, could increase the financing costs associated with the construction and cause our forecasted budget to be exceeded. In addition, the failure to complete an infrastructure project according to its original specifications or schedule, may give rise to potential liabilities and, as a result, our returns on investments may be lower than originally expected. Any of these factors may lead to delays in, or prevent the completion of, our infrastructure projects and result in costs substantially exceeding those originally budgeted for, which may adversely affect our business and prospects.
xxiii
24. Our plans to develop hotels are subject to a number of contingencies and may not be successful. As part of our growth strategy, we intend to use our existing real estate development capabilities to build and own hotels. We have taken preliminary steps in the hotel business through joint ventures with Bharat Hotels and Hilton. The success of this business is subject to our ability to select appropriate locations and to successfully undertake projects with our current and future joint venture and strategic partners to operate the hotels profitably. Our success in the development of hotels will also depend on our ability to forecast and respond to demand in an industry in which we have little experience to date. The hotel industry entails additional risks that are distinct from those applicable to our businesses of developing residential, commercial and retail properties, 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. Any of these developments could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects. 25. Our multiplex cinema business is subject to a number of contingencies and may not be successful. We intend to expand our multiplex cinema business, DT Cinemas, through the development and operation of multiplex cinemas in many of our malls. For further information on our multiplex cinema development plans, see Our Business New Businesses DT Cinemas on page 86. Our success in the development of DT Cinemas is dependent on a number of contingencies, including our ability to forecast, generate and respond to demand and customer traffic. These abilities, in turn, depend, in part, on the popularity of the films we display on our screens. Both the Indian and international film industry may not always produce films with widespread audience appeal. If the films we screen are not popular, demand and customer traffic in our cinemas may decline. Customer traffic may also decline due to the lack of enforcement of anti-piracy laws in India and increasing home-viewing entertainment options. 26. Our joint venture and strategic partners may not perform their obligations satisfactorily and their interests may differ from ours. We have entered into joint ventures with WSP, Laing ORourke, Bharat Hotels, Hilton and Akruti Nirman, among others. The success of these joint ventures depends significantly on the satisfactory performance by our joint venture partners and the fulfilment of their obligations. If a joint venture partner fails to perform its obligations satisfactorily, the joint venture may be unable to perform adequately or deliver its contracted services. In such a case, we may be required to make additional investments in the joint venture or become liable for its obligations, which could result in reduced profits or in some cases, significant losses. The inability of a joint venture partner to continue with a project due to financial or legal difficulties could mean that we would bear increased, or possibly sole, responsibility for the relevant projects. Additionally, our joint venture partners may hold different views about various aspects of a project and if the interests of our joint venture partners conflict with our interests, our business may be adversely affected. Arrangements governing our joint ventures may permit us only partial control over the operations of the joint ventures under certain circumstances. If we are a minority participant in a joint venture, there may exist inherent potential conflicts of interest with our majority joint venture partner, who may make significant decisions without our consent that affect our interests, such as delaying project execution timetables. Where we hold a majority interest in a joint venture, it may be necessary for us to obtain consent from a joint venture partner before we can cause the joint venture to make or implement a particular business development decision or to distribute profits to us. These and other factors may cause our joint venture partners to act in a way contrary to our interests, or otherwise be unwilling to fulfil their obligations under our joint venture arrangements. Moreover, our joint ventures that limit our ability with various parties, such as Hilton, Prudential Insurance, WSP and Laing O' Rourke, contain restrictive covenants to dispose of our shareholding in the joint ventures for significant periods, sometimes ranging from five to ten years, which would limit our ability to exit an unsatisfactory joint venture.
xxiv
27. Most of our projects require the services of third parties, which entails certain risks, and as we expand geographically, we will be using contractors with whom we are not familiar. Most of our projects require the services of third parties. These third parties include architects, engineers, contractors and suppliers of labour and materials. The timing and quality of construction of the projects we develop depends on the availability and skill of those third parties, as well as contingencies affecting them, including labour and raw material shortages and industrial action such as strikes and lockouts. We cannot assure you that skilled third parties will continue to be available at reasonable rates and in the areas in which we conduct our projects. 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 and any delay in project execution could adversely affect our profitability. Additionally, we rely on manufacturers and other suppliers and do not have direct control over the products they supply, which may adversely affect the construction quality of our developments. To date, most of our projects have been in the NCR and we have developed good working relationships with the major local contractors. As we expand geographically, we will have to use contractors with whom we are not familiar, which will increase the risk of cost overruns, construction defects and failures to meet scheduled completion dates. 28. A significant portion of the land forming part of our Land Reserves in and around Gurgaon and in certain other parts of India is acquired through third parties. Some of our Land Reserves are held in the name of third parties with whom we have development agreements. Although these land owning companies have agreed not to dispose of the land and the shareholders of the land owning companies have agreed not to dispose of their shares in the company, we cannot assure you that they will not dispose of such land or shares. Any change in the relevant local laws in relation to the use of these lands will also affect our ability to develop these lands. 29. Any failure in our IT systems could adversely impact our business. Any delay in implementation or disruption of the functioning of our IT systems could disrupt our ability to track, record and analyze work in progress or causing loss of data and disruption to our operations, including an inability to assess the progress of our projects, process financial information or manage creditors/debtors or engage in normal business activities. This could have a material adverse effect on our business. 30. Increased raw material costs may adversely affect our results of operations. Our business is affected by the availability, cost and quality of the raw materials we need to construct and develop our properties. Our principal raw materials include steel and cement. The prices and supply of these and other raw materials depend on factors not under our control, including general economic conditions, competition, production levels, transportation costs and import duties. Cement prices, for example have risen significantly in the past year and steel prices have been volatile. If, for any reason, our primary suppliers of raw materials should curtail or discontinue their delivery of such materials to us in the quantities and quality we need and at prices that are competitive, our ability to meet our material requirements for our projects could be impaired, our construction schedules could be disrupted and our business could suffer. 31. Our business may suffer if we are unable to sustain the quality of our property management services. As part of our business, we provide property management services to our completed residential, commercial and retail developments. These services include, among others, book keeping, security management, building maintenance and the operation of leisure facilities such as swimming pools and fitness centres. We believe that our property management services are an integral part of our business and are important to the successful marketing and promotion of our property developments. If owners of the projects that we have developed elect to discontinue the services provided by our property management subsidiary, our property management business would be negatively impacted, which in turn could adversely affect the attractiveness of our developments.
xxv
32. Revenue recognition based on the percentage of completion method of accounting is subject to uncertainties and inaccurate estimates. We use the percentage of completion method of revenue recognition. Under this method, income in respect of a project is recognized based on the project cost, which includes the cost of acquisition of land, development and construction costs actually incurred as a proportion of total estimated project cost and the proportion of the saleable area of the project in respect of which bookings have been made. However, if the actual project cost incurred is less than 30% of the total estimated project cost, no income is recognized in respect of that project in the relevant fiscal period. We estimate the total cost of a project prior to its commencement based on, among other things, the size, specifications and location of the project. We re-evaluate project costs periodically, particularly when, in our opinion, there have been significant changes in market conditions, costs of labour and materials and other contingencies. Material re-evaluations will affect our revenues in the relevant fiscal periods. If our estimates of project costs are inaccurate or if contingencies occur that materially impact our estimates, our revenues may fluctuate significantly from period to period. 33. We benefit from certain tax benefits under the provisions of the Indian Income Tax Act which, if withdrawn may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Our business may be benefited from various tax benefits such as Sections 80IA, 54EC and 10AB of the Income Tax Act, and is also expected to benefit from SEZ related tax benefits. We may not be able to continue to avail the benefits of these sections should the tax authorities interpret them in a manner inconsistent with our interpretation or if some of these tax benefits are withdrawn. In addition, certain tax benefits claimed by us in the past may be denied and we may be required to pay the amounts in relation to the claimed tax benefits to the relevant tax authorities. This could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. 34. We have had negative cash flows in certain recent fiscal periods. We have had negative cash flows in recent financial periods, as indicated in the table below.

On May 2, 2006, November 24, 2006, December 5, 2006 and December 22, 2006, we issued bonus shares to our shareholders equivalent to 1,337,559,195 Equity Shares. Additionally, on March 13, 2007, we issued shares to our shareholders upon conversion of debentures equivalent to 97,750 Equity Shares and bonus shares equivalent to 684,250 Equity Shares.

For further details, see Note 1 to Capital Structure Notes to the Capital Structure on page 24. 39. We are involved in certain legal and other proceedings in India and may face liabilities as a result. We are involved in legal proceedings and claims in India in relation to certain civil matters, including consumer disputes. These legal proceedings are pending at different levels of adjudication before various courts and tribunals. We cannot assure you that these legal proceedings will be decided in our favour.

40. There is pending litigation under Indian securities laws against Bhoruka Financial Services Limited, which is one of our subsidiaries. DLF Commercial Developers Limited (DCDL), a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a share purchase agreement dated July 28, 2005 (Share Purchase Agreement) with the promoters of Bhoruka Financial Services Limited (Sellers) to acquire shares from the promoters representing 98.73% of the equity share capital of the Company. The Share Purchase Agreement was executed after obtaining an exemption from complying with certain provisions of the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulation, 1997 (Takeover Regulations). The negotiated price per share was Rs. 3,000 and was required to be paid through a designated broker of Magadh Stock Exchange Association (MSEA). SEBI challenged the share transfer and, on August 19, 2005, passed an ex parte interim order against, inter alia, DCDL. The ex parte interim order, inter alia, alleged that DCDL had violated the provisions of the Takeover Regulations, that it had a tacit understanding with the other parties, and consciously and with pre-meditated design chose to execute the trades on MSEA with a view to both avoid regulatory attention and scrutiny and to use the mechanism of the stock exchange to artificially increase the price for collateral ends. Accordingly, in its ex parte interim order, SEBI (a) impounded the shares of BFSL lying with CDSL in demat form and (b) prohibited DCDL from dealing in the scrip of BFSL so long as the directions in the interim order were in force. On December 6, 2005, SEBI passed an interim order (Impugned Order) which confirmed the ex parte interim order. The Impugned Order was challenged by DCDL before the Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT) (Appeal No. 18 of 2006). SAT passed an order on May 10, 2006 setting aside the Impugned Order. In an appeal filed by SEBI (Civil Appeal 2620/2006) before the Supreme Court, the order of SAT was stayed by Supreme Court. The Supreme Court has also directed DCDL not to transfer or create any third party right in the shares. SEBI has been directed by Supreme Court to expedite the investigations. DCDL received a Show Cause Notice dated November 9, 2006 under Rule 4 (1) of the Securities Contracts (Regulation) (Procedure for Holding Inquiry and Imposing Penalties by Adjudicating Officer) Rules, 2005. The Show Cause Notice stated that, if the allegations are established, DCDL would be liable for a penalty under SCRA, in terms of which our Subsidiary shall be liable for a penalty which may extend up to Rs. 1 crore. DCDL replied to the Show Cause Notice on February 9, 2007. SEBI has passed an adjudication order (No. AP/AO27/2006-2007) as on February 20, 2007, imposing the following penalty amounts: (i) Rs. 1 crore to be paid by the promoters and sellers of BFSL collectively for violation of Section 19 read with Section 23H of the SCRA; and (ii) Rs. 1 crore to be paid by DCDL for violation of Section 19 read with Section 23H of the SCRA. Such amounts are required to be paid within 45 days of the said order. Subsequent to the receipt of the order, DCDL has made payment of the amount of Rs. 1 crore. 41. The Indian income tax authorities have recently conducted a tax survey in our offices. On May 17 and May 18, 2007 the income tax authorities conducted a survey at our offices under Section 133A of the Income Tax Act, 1961. This provision confers powers on the income tax authorities of inspection, verification and requiring the furnishing of information. This survey pertained to ten companies, one of which was a joint venture company in which we are shareholders, three of which were Promoter group companies and six of which were companies that have granted us sole development rights. Following the survey, the inspecting officials handed summons to certain officers of the relevant entities under Section 131/136/137 of the Act under which the IT department is empowered with powers, inter alia, of discovery and inspection, and the attendance of any person. The summons had required the principal officers of the respective companies to appear before the department on May 22, 2007. During the proceedings on May 22, 2007, the IT department requisitioned certain further information and confirmations and adjourned the matter to June 5, 2007. We are not aware of any further proceedings having been undertaken, and are at the date of this document unable to anticipate if any action will be taken in pursuance of the survey or the summons. While we do not expect the survey to result in any findings that could have an adverse effect on us or on our affiliates, no assurances can be given in this regard.

42. Our Promoter has been subject to penalties under the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 1997. Our Promoter, Mr. Rajiv Singh, along with certain persons acting in concert, admitted to a violation of the provisions of Regulation 11 (2) of the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 1997 by acquiring equity shares in excess of specified limits without making a prior public announcement as prescribed under the regulations. Our Promoter agreed to pay a penalty of Rs. 5 lac, which was accepted by the SEBI subject to certain conditions set forth in its letter dated February 12, 2002. For details, see History and Certain Corporate Matters on page 132. 43. We delisted our equity shares from the BSE in 1982 and from the DSE in 2003. We have received complaints in relation to our prior rights issue of debentures. We have also received other complaints pertaining to nondisclosures in the draft red herring prospectus filed with SEBI as well as complaints in regard to an open offer made to shareholders of the Company by Mr. Rajiv Singh and other acquirers for acquiring equity shares of the Company. In response to a substantial increase in listing fees, we delisted our equity shares from the BSE. In a letter dated January 8, 1982, the BSE confirmed that our equity shares had been removed from its official list. In 2003, the level of public shareholding in our Company fell below the limit specified in the listing agreement with the DSE. Thereafter, Mr. Rajiv Singh along with other acquirers (Acquirers) offered to purchase the outstanding public shareholding (Delisting Offer) rather than increase such public shareholding for strategic reasons. The Delisting Offer was made by the Acquirers at the price of Rs. 320 per equity share of face value Rs. 10 each. Subsequently, the DSE in a letter dated September 18, 2003 confirmed that the equity shares had been removed from the official list of the DSE. Further, when we were a listed company on the DSE, we received notices from the DSE identifying various instances of non-compliance with conditions of the DSEs listing agreement. For more information, see History and Certain Corporate Matters on page 132. We had filed a draft red herring prospectus with SEBI on May 12, 2006 for issuing to the public 202,000,000 Equity Shares of Rs. 2 each. Thereafter, we received 135 complaints from certain of our shareholders with regard to our rights issue of debentures in 2005. We had offered for subscription on a rights basis to our existing shareholders 35,08,007 unsecured debentures which were optionally, fully or partly convertible at par or at premium. We made this offer to our shareholders as on the record date of November 18, 2005 and had issued 34,26,024 debentures. The matter was referred by SEBI to the MCA and we were directed to consider each complaint on merits and take steps to redress the grievances. We withdrew our draft red herring prospectus filed with SEBI on August 31, 2006. We decided to withdraw the draft red herring prospectus due to significant developments in our business particularly in respect of additional land acquisition since the filing of the Draft Red Herring Prospectus on May 12, 2006. The Board of Directors in order to redress the grievances of shareholders, decided on October 10, 2006 to revive and revalidate not more than 81,983 debentures. These debentures were to be allotted to the shareholders according to their entitlement in terms of the rights issue. This decision of the Board of Directors was approved by the shareholders in an EGM held on November 14, 2006. Thereafter, we issued 1,79,09,200 equity shares to various shareholders who satisfied the eligibility requirements to participate in the debenture issue on November 24, 2006, December 5, 2006 and December 22, 2006. These shares represent equity shares issued on conversion of debentures, split of face value and 7:1 bonus declared by the Company. We re-filed our Draft Red Herring Prospectus with SEBI on January 2, 2007. We have further received 57 complaints from our shareholders with regard to our rights issue, since re-filing of the Draft Red Herring Prospectus with SEBI. In order to redress the grievances of such shareholders, we have till May 22, 2007 (i.e. two days prior to date of filing the Red Herring Prospectus with the RoC) allotted 11,93,600 equity shares in two tranches. We allotted 7,82,000 equity shares on March 13, 2007 to 33 shareholders and 4,11,600 equity shares on May 18, 2007 to 21 shareholders. These shares represent equity shares issued on conversion of debentures, split of face value and 7:1 bonus declared by the Company. For more details with regard to complaints connected to our rights issue see Capital Structure Notes to the Capital Structure Note 23, History and Certain Corporate Matters Delisting and subsequent proposal to relist the shares, Outstanding Litigation and Material Developments Against our Company Complaints Against our Company on pages 40, 133 and 398, respectively. xxxi
We have also received complaints with regard to the Delisting Offer, disclosures in the draft red herring prospectus dated January 2, 2007 and certain other matters. For details regarding these complaints, see Outstanding Litigation and Material Developments Against our Company Complaints Against our Company on page 398. 44. Our business is subject to extensive government regulation, which may become more stringent in the future. The real estate industry in India is heavily regulated by the central, state and local governments. Real estate developers must comply with a number of requirements mandated by Indian laws and regulations, including policies and procedures established by local authorities and designed to implement such laws and regulations. For example, we are subject to various Land Ceiling Acts which regulate the amount of land that can be held under single ownership and where we are subject to such ownership limits we generally acquire development rights rather than the land itself. If structures through which this land is owned are said to violate such laws, that could materially and adversely affect our business. Additionally, in order to develop and complete a real estate project, developers must obtain various approvals, permits and licences from the relevant administrative authorities at various stages of project development, and developments may have to qualify for inclusion in local master plans. We may encounter major problems in obtaining the requisite approvals or licences, may experience delays in fulfilling the conditions precedent to any required approvals and we may not be able to adapt ourselves to new laws, regulations or policies that may come into effect from time to time with respect to the real estate sector. There may also be delays on the part of administrative bodies in reviewing applications and granting approvals. If we experience material problems in obtaining or fail to obtain the requisite governmental approvals, the schedule of development and sale or letting of our projects could be substantially disrupted, and our business, results of operations and prospects could be adversely affected. Although we believe that our projects are in material compliance with applicable laws and regulations, regulatory authorities may allege non-compliance and may subject us to regulatory action in the future, including penalties, seizure of land and other civil or criminal proceedings. For details, see Regulations and Policies in India on page 104 and Government Approvals on page 454. 45. The government may exercise rights of compulsory purchase or eminent domain in respect of our lands. Like other real estate development companies in India, we are subject to the risk that governmental agencies in India may exercise rights of eminent domain, or compulsory purchase in respect of lands. The Land Acquisition Act, 1894 allows the central and state governments to exercise rights of compulsory purchase, or eminent domain, which, if used in respect of our land, could require us to relinquish land with minimal compensation. 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, airports and railways. Any such action in respect of one or more of our major current or proposed developments could adversely affect our business. 46. Our sales of certain developments are subject to the actions of governmental land authorities. We lease certain lands from governmental land authorities. Some of the lease agreements restrict our ability to sell, transfer or assign the lands without the prior consent of the relevant authority. If the relevant authorities do not consent to the transfer of lands even after we have developed them, or impose onerous terms and conditions such as pre-emptive acquisition rights or rights to unearned increases in the value of land, our revenues could be adversely affected. 47. We require certain regulatory approvals in the ordinary course of our business and the failure to obtain them in a timely manner or at all may adversely affect our operations. We require certain regulatory approvals, sanctions, licences, registrations and permissions for operating our businesses. In connection with our business, we may require such approvals or their renewal from time to time. We have applied for, or are in the process of applying for, such approvals or their renewal. We may not receive such approvals or renewals in the time frames anticipated by us or at all, which could adversely affect our business. The following applications filed by us are pending approval or registration: xxxii
We have applied for consents to establish under the Water Act and Air Act for Aralias, Westend Heights, Summit, Magnolias, Summit, DT City Centre, Shalimar Bagh, Emporio Mall, Vasant Kunj, Promenade, Vasant Kunj, Galleria Mall, Mayur Vihar Delhi, Galleria Mall, New Delhi, South Court, Saket New Delhi, SEZ Hyderabad Project, Bhoruka IT Park, Hyderabad, SEZ Project, Silokhera Gurgaon, Jasola Towers, Saket and Cyber City Gurgaon. We have applied for consents to operate under the Water Act and Air Act for the SEZ Chennai Project. We have applied for environmental clearance from the Ministry of Environment and Forests, GoI for Jasola Saket, Chennai SEZ Project, Silokera SEZ Project, SEZ Project Bhubaneswar. We have applied for an extension of validity of the in-principle approval for various SEZs at Ambala, Multi Product SEZ Project Gurgaon, SEZ Project Amritsar, Punjab. South Point Mall, Gurgaon, Haryana- We have applied for an occupation certificate and completion certificate to the Director, Town and County Planning, Haryana. DT City Centre, Shalimar Bagh, Delhi- We have applied to the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Licensing, for grant of provisional certificate in respect of proposed multiplex and to DDA for permission to occupy or use the building for the proposed multiplex. Mumbai Textile Mill Land, Project-We have applied for revalidation certificate of the intimation of disapproval (which was granted on January 24, 2006) to the Sub Engineer, Building proposal, city.

SEZ Project, Shivajimarg Properties, New Delhi- We have applied to special secretary, Ministry of Commerce, for grant of formal approval to set up the SEZ. SEZ Project, Chennai- We have applied, to the Chennai Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board in relation to a proposed sewerage plant. Other SEZ Applications- We have made applications to the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, GoI to set up the SEZs at Sonipat, Noida, Dankuni (West Bengal), Gandhinagar, Industrial Estate, Haryana. Miscellaneous Approvals- We had applied for a renewal of the contract labour registration certificate. 48. Our success depends in large part upon our senior management, directors and key personnel and our ability to retain them and attract new key personnel when necessary. Our senior management and key personnel collectively have many years of experience with us and would be difficult to replace. We do not maintain key man insurance for any of our senior managers or other key personnel. Any loss of our senior managers or other key personnel or the inability to recruit further senior managers or other key personnel could impair our future by impairing our day-to-day operations, hindering our development of new projects and harming our ability to develop, maintain and expand client relationships.
xxxiii
49. We will be controlled by our Promoters and Promoter group entities and potential conflicts of interest may exist or arise as a result. After the completion of the Issue, our Promoters, along with the Promoter group entities, will control, directly or indirectly, in excess of 87.43% of our outstanding Equity Shares. As a result, our Promoters will continue to exercise significant influence over all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the composition of our Board of Directors, and will also have effective veto power with respect to any shareholder action or approval requiring majority voting. Our Promoters may take or block actions with respect to our business, which may conflict with our interests or the interests of our minority shareholders, such as actions with respect to future capital raising or acquisitions. While our Promoters and various Promoter group entities have entered into real estate development related non-compete agreements with us, there can be no assurance that the interests of our Promoters will be aligned in all cases with the interests of our minority shareholders or the interests of our Company. Furthermore, we have sold and in the future plan to sell some of our developments to DAL. As of March 31, 2007, DAL owed us Rs. 2,350.9 crore in payment for the purchase of certain commercial properties from us and had paid Rs. 50.5 crore. The sale arrangements and negotiations with DAL may give rise to actual or perceived conflicts of interest. Our Promoters also control certain other companies that are in the real estate business with which we may have conflicts of interest. We cannot assure you that our Promoters will act to resolve any conflicts of interest in our favour or in the best interests of our minority shareholders. 50. We have entered into, and will continue to enter into, related party transactions. We have entered into transactions with several related parties, including our Promoters and Directors. For details regarding our related party transactions, see the disclosure on related party transactions contained in our consolidated restated financial statements included in this Red Herring Prospectus on page 260. Further, a significant portion of our business is expected to involve transactions with related parties such as DLF Laing ORourke, promoter group entities such as DAL as well as joint venture partners and other affiliates that we may choose to involve in our business. In relation to the sale of certain commercial properties to DAL in fiscal 2007, we have recognized revenue and profit before tax of Rs. 2,207.1 crore and Rs. 1,564 crore, respectively. 51. Environmental problems could adversely affect our projects. We are required to conduct an environmental assessment for most of our projects before receiving regulatory approval for these projects. These environmental assessments may reveal material environmental problems, which could result in our not obtaining the required approvals. Additionally, if environmental problems are discovered during or after the development of a project, we may incur substantial liabilities relating to cleanup and other remedial measures and the value of the relevant properties could be adversely affected. 52. We may suffer uninsured losses or experience losses exceeding our insurance limits. Our real estate projects could suffer physical damage from fire or other causes, resulting in losses, including loss of rent, which may not be fully compensated by insurance. In addition, there are certain types of losses, such as those due to earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, terrorism or acts of war, which may be uninsurable, are not insurable at a reasonable premium or which may exceed our insurance limits. The proceeds of any insurance claim may be insufficient to cover rebuilding costs as a result of inflation, changes in building regulations, environmental issues as well as other factors. Should an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occur, we would lose the capital invested in and the anticipated revenue from the affected property. We would also remain liable for any debt or other financial obligation related to that property. We cannot assure you that material losses in excess of insurance proceeds will not occur in the future. Further, we do not carry coverage for title defects, contractors liability, timely project completions, loss of rent or profit, construction defects or consequential damages for a tenants loss profits. Any damage suffered by us in respect of these uninsured events would not be covered by insurance and we would bear the impact of such losses.
xxxiv
53. Our contingent liabilities could adversely affect our financial condition. We had contingent liabilities in the following amounts, as disclosed in our restated consolidated financial statements as of the dates indicated:
Contingent liabilities not provided for Guarantees Claims against the Company not acknowledged as debts Tax demands in excess of provisions (appeals pending): Income tax Other taxes Put option against the preference shares issued by associate company March 31, 2007 (Rs. crore) 8.6 100.7 53.5 0.6 462.9 March 31, 2006 (Rs. crore) 270 57.4 39.7 0.4 -
54. We have not entered into any definitive agreements to use a substantial portion of the net proceeds of the Issue. The deployment of funds as described in Objects of the Issue on page 44 is at the discretion of our Board, though it is subject to monitoring by an independent agency. As of April 30, 2007, we had not entered into any definitive agreements to utilise []% of the net proceeds of the Issue. 55. We have not yet identified the land proposed to be acquired with the net proceeds of the Issue. As described in Objects of the Issue on page 44 we intend to use Rs. 3,500 crore (i.e., []% of the net proceeds of the Issue) to acquire lands. We have not yet identified these lands. 56. Our funding requirements and the deployment of the proceeds of the Issue are based on management estimates and have not been independently appraised. Our funding requirements and the deployment of the proceeds of the Issue are based on management estimates and have not been appraised by any bank or financial institution. Further, such estimates were based on market conditions and management expectations as of the date they were made. In view of the highly competitive nature of the industry in which we operate, we may have to revise our management estimates from time to time and consequently our funding requirements may also change. For example, the significant rise in cement costs over the last year could result in an escalation of our project cost estimates. Significant revisions to our funding requirements or the deployment of Issue proceeds may result in the rescheduling of our project expenditure programmes and an increase or decrease in our proposed expenditure for a particular project. 57. DLF Power may not be able to recover its dues from its customers. Our subsidiary DLF Powers customers are Coal India Limited and the Assam State Electricity Board. These customers have not made full payment of their dues to DLF Power. With respect to the Assam State Electricity Board, we have recorded the unpaid dues as sundry debtors, amounting to Rs.55.6 crore as of March 31, 2007. DLF Powers auditors have qualified their audit report and the qualifications appear in the notes to the restated consolidated financial statements included in this Red Herring Prospectus. For details, see Financial Statements - Notes to the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities and Profits and Losses, as Restated on page 345. If DLF Powers customers are unable to pay their dues in the future, its results of operations will be adversely affected. 58. Grants of stock options under our proposed Employee Stock Option Plan will result in a charge to our profit and loss account and will to that extent reduce our profits. We intend to grant stock options in 2007 or 2008 at an exercise price of Rs. 2, which is the face value of an Equity Share. Under Indian GAAP, the grant of these stock options will result in a charge to our profit and loss account based on the difference between the fair value of shares determined at the date of grant and Rs. 2. This expense will be amortized over the vesting period of the options. xxxv
59. We cannot guarantee the accuracy or completeness of facts and other statistics with respect to India, the Indian economy, and the Indian real estate and infrastructure-related sectors contained in this Red Herring Prospectus. While facts and other statistics in this Red Herring Prospectus relating to India, the Indian economy as well as the Indian property development and infrastructure-related sectors have been based on various publications and reports from agencies that we believe are reliable, we cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of such sources of materials. While our directors have taken reasonable care in the reproduction of such information, they have not been prepared or independently verified by us, the Book Runners or any of our or their respective affiliates or advisers and, therefore we make no representation as to the accuracy of such facts and statistics, which may not be consistent with other information compiled within or outside India. These facts and other statistics include the facts and statistics included in Industry Overview on page 59. Due to possibly flawed or ineffective collection methods or discrepancies between published information and market practice and other problems, the statistics herein may be inaccurate or may not be comparable to statistics produced elsewhere and should not be unduly relied upon. Further, there is no assurance that they are stated or compiled on the same basis or with the same degree of accuracy, as the case may be elsewhere. 60. Our statements as to areas under development are based on management estimates and have not been independently appraised. The acreage and square footage data presented in this Red Herring Prospectus is based on management estimates and has not been independently appraised. Further, the acreage and square footage actually developed may differ from the amounts presented herein, based on various factors such as market conditions, title defects, modifications of engineering or design specifications and any inability to obtain required regulatory approvals. 61. Any future issuance of Equity Shares may dilute your shareholding and sales of our Equity Shares by our Promoters or other major shareholders may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares. Any future equity issuances by us, including in a primary offering or pursuant to the exercise of stock options under our ESOP, may lead to the dilution of investors shareholdings in our Company. Any future equity issuances by us or sales of our Equity Shares by our Promoters or other major shareholders may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares. In addition, any perception by investors that such issuances or sales might occur could also affect the trading price of our Equity Shares. 62. Shares of our subsidiary Bhoruka Financial Services Limited are listed but not traded. Shares of our subsidiary Bhoruka Financial Services Limited are listed but not traded on the Bangalore Stock Exchange. 63. One of our directors is on the RBI defaulters list. One of our directors, Mr. Ravindra Narain, is mentioned in the defaulters list in respect of a default committed by two companies (which are not part of our Company, our subsidiaries or Promoter group entities) where he was a director. 64. There were time and cost overruns in relation to some of our projects. We have experienced time and cost overruns in relation to some of our projects in the last five years. For example, there was a delay of three months and a cost overrun of Rs. 0.304 crore in the completion of DLF Exclusive Floors, which was completed in fiscal 2004; Trinity Towers, completed in fiscal 2006, had a delay of five and a half months and a cost overrun of Rs. 0.498 crore; and Western Heights which was completed in fiscal 2007 had a delay of two months and a cost overrun of Rs. 0.29 crore. In addition, we have experiences time and cost overruns in relation to Emporio, Promenade and Noida Town Square Mall. For details, see History and Certain Corporate Matters on page 132. We cannot assure you that we will be able to complete our projects, including those that may be undertaken in future, within the stipulated budget and time schedule.
xxxvi
65. We are subject to a penalty clause under our sale agreements entered into with our customers for any delay in the completion and handover of the project. The sale agreements into which we enter with our residential, commercial and retail customers provide a penalty clause wherein we are liable to pay a penalty for any delay in the completion and handover of the project to the customers. In terms of the sale agreement, the penalty is payable by us at a fixed rate on a monthly basis. Accordingly, in large residential projects, the aggregate of all penalties in the event of delays may adversely impact the overall profitability of the project and, therefore, adversely affect our results of operations. 66. We do not obtain independent purchase price estimates for our land. We have not obtained any third party appraisals in connection with our acquisition of land or development rights and undertaking projects. The terms of our joint development agreements and the pricing methods used to calculate the price of our lands are determined by our senior management. Our purchase price may exceed fair market value or the value that would have been determined by third party appraisals, which may have an adverse impact on our business. In addition, the estimates of the costs of projects for which we propose to use the net proceeds of the Issue have not been appraised by any third party and are based on internal estimates only. 67. Our business and growth plan could be adversely affected by the incidence and rate of property taxes and stamp duties. As a property owning company, we are subject to the property tax regime in each state where our properties are located. These taxes could increase in the future, and new types of property taxes may be established which would increase our overall development and maintenance costs. We also buy and sell properties throughout India; property conveyances are generally subject to stamp duty. If these duties increase, the cost of acquiring properties will rise, and sale values could also be affected. 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 acquisition costs and sale values 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 have an adverse affect on our financial condition and results of operations. External Risk Factors 68. Restrictions on foreign direct investment in the real estate sector may hamper our ability to raise additional capital. While the GoI has permitted FDI of up to 100% without prior regulatory approval in townships, housing, built-up infrastructure and construction and development projects, it has issued a notification titled Press Note No. 2, which subjects such investment to certain restrictions. Our inability to raise additional capital as a result of these and other restrictions could adversely affect our business and prospects. For details on these restrictions, see Regulations and Policies in India on page 104. 69. Our business is susceptible to adverse developments in the NCR and elsewhere. Our operations and assets are concentrated in the NCR. These areas are situated in a region that is prone to high seismic activity and are at risk of suffering significant damage should an earthquake occur. While our business has not been materially affected by earthquakes in the past, it is possible that future earthquakes, cyclones, floods or other natural disasters, particularly those that directly affect the areas in which our developments and other operations are located, could result in substantial damage to our properties and adversely affect our operations and financial results. Our business may also be adversely affected by regulatory developments in the regions in which we operate or seek to develop properties such as land use regulations, zoning laws, taxes and environmental regulations, as well as political and social developments that discourage customers from investing or operating in real estate in those areas or discourage landowners from selling their properties or reduce the incentives available for particular or particular types of developments. xxxvii
70. A slowdown in economic growth in India could cause our business to suffer. Our performance and growth are dependent on the health of the Indian economy. The economy could 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, interest rates, commodity and energy prices and various other factors. Any slowdown in the Indian economy may adversely impact our business and financial performance and the price of our Equity Shares. 71. The cyclical nature of the Indian real estate market could cause us to experience fluctuations in property values and rental income over time. Historically, the Indian real estate market has been cyclical, a phenomenon that can affect the optimal timing for both the acquisition of sites and the sale or rental of our properties. We cannot assure you that real estate market cyclicality will not continue to affect the Indian real estate market in the future. As a result, we may experience fluctuations in property values and rental income over time which in turn may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. 72. 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 on us or the Indian real estate sector, changes in the estimates of our performance or recommendations by financial analysts, significant developments in Indias economic liberalisation and deregulation policies and significant developments in Indias fiscal regulations. There has been no recent public market for the Equity Shares and 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. The share prices of real estate development companies in India have fluctuated significantly in recent months and may continue to do so after this Issue, which subjects an investment in our Equity Shares to substantial volatility. 73. Conditions in the Indian securities market may affect the price or liquidity of the Equity Shares. The Indian securities markets are smaller than securities markets in more developed economies. Indian stock exchanges have in the past experienced substantial fluctuations in the prices of listed securities. Further, the Indian stock exchanges have experienced recent volatility, with the BSE index declining by almost 25% in the summer of 2006 before recovering; significant volatility was also seen in the first few months of 2007. The Indian stock exchanges have also experienced problems that have affected the market price and liquidity of the securities of Indian companies, such as temporary exchange closures, broker defaults, settlement delays and strikes by brokers. In addition, the governing bodies of the Indian stock exchanges have from time to time restricted securities from trading, limited price movements and restricted margin requirements. Further, disputes have occurred on occasion between listed companies and the Indian stock exchanges and other regulatory bodies that, in some cases, have had a negative effect on market sentiment. If similar problems occur in the future, the market price and liquidity of the Equity Shares could be adversely affected. 74. Any downgrading of Indias debt rating by an independent agency may harm our ability to raise debt financing. Any adverse revisions to Indias credit ratings for domestic and international debt by international rating agencies may adversely affect our ability to raise additional financing and the interest rates and other commercial terms at which such additional financing is available. This could have a material adverse effect on our capital expenditure plans, business and financial performance and the price of our Equity Shares. 75. You will not be able to sell immediately on an Indian stock exchange any of the Equity Shares you purchase in the Issue. xxxviii
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 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. 76. If investors do not pay the Balance Amount Payable, the amount raised through the Issue will be lower than the proposed Issue size. Further, Equity Shares issued to investors will not be traded until the time these shares become fully paid. In the Issue, the Retail Individual Bidders shall have the option to choose between the Payment Method-I or the Payment Method-II. Bidders opting for the Payment Method-I shall be required to make the payment of the Balance Amount Payable by the Due Date. The Balance Amount Payable, if any, may not be paid by some or all of the Bidders and the amount raised through the Issue may be lower than the proposed Issue size. Further, the Equity Shares issued pursuant to the Payment Method-I cannot be traded until the Balance Amount Payable is received and corporate action for appropriation of the amounts received is taken and the Equity Shares are fully paid-up. The process of corporate action to render the partly paid up shares fully paid up shares may take about two weeks from the last date of payment of the Balance Amount Payable or from the date of receipt of Balance Amount Payable, whichever is later. During this period, the Bidders who pay the Balance Amount Payable for the partly paid Equity Shares will not be able to trade in those Equity Shares. For details on the Issue, see The Issue on page 8. Notes to risk factors: ! ! ! Based on our restated consolidated financial statements, the net asset value per Equity Share based on our net worth of Rs. 3,976.4 crore as of March 31, 2007 was Rs. 26.22; Issue of 175,000,000 Equity Shares of Rs. 2 each for cash at a price of Rs. [] per Equity Share, including a share premium of Rs. [] per Equity Share, aggregating Rs. [] crore. The Issue will constitute 10.26% of our post Issue paid-up equity share capital; In terms of Rule 19(2)(b) of the SCRR, this being an Issue for less than 25% of the postIssue capital, the Issue is being made through the 100% Book Building Process wherein at least 60% of the Issue will be allocated on a proportionate basis to QIB Bidders, out of which 5% 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 and Mutual Funds, subject to valid bids being received from them at or above the Issue Price. If at least 60% of the Issue cannot be allocated to QIBs, then the entire application money will be refunded forthwith. Further, up to 10% of the Issue will be available for allocation on a proportionate basis to Non-Institutional Bidders and up to 30% of the Issue will be available for allocation on a proportionate basis to Retail Individual Bidders, subject to valid bids being received at or above the Issue Price; Other than as stated in "Capital Structure- Notes to the Capital Structure- Note 1", we have not issued any Equity Shares for consideration other than cash; The average cost of acquisition of our Equity Shares by our Promoters is Rs. 0.31 per Equity Share (of face value of Rs. 2 each). The average cost of acquisition of our Equity Shares by our Promoters has been calculated by taking into account the amount paid by them to acquire the Equity Shares, including the issue of bonus shares to them. For more information, see Capital Structure on page 23; Under-subscription, if any, in the Non-Institutional Portion and Retail Individual Portion would be met with spillover from other categories at the sole discretion of our Company in consultation with the Book Runners; Except as disclosed in Our Promoters and Promoter Group and Our Management on pages 203 and 109, respectively, none of our Promoters, our Directors and our key managerial employees have any interest in the Company except to the extent of remuneration and reimbursement of expenses and to the extent of the Equity Shares held by them or their relatives and associates or held by the companies, firms and trusts in which they are interested as directors, member, partner or trustee and to the extent of the benefits arising out of such shareholding; For details of the related party transactions, see Financial Statements Related Party Disclosures on page xxxix

283; Our Company was originally incorporated as American Universal Electric (India) Limited on July 4, 1963.

SUMMARY OF OUR BUSINESS, STRENGTHS AND STRATEGY OVERVIEW We are the largest real estate development company in India in terms of the area of our completed residential and commercial developments (Source: ACNielsen Report) and our primary business is the development of residential, commercial and retail properties. Our operations span all aspects of real estate development, from the identification and acquisition of land, the planning, execution and marketing of our projects, through to the maintenance and management of our completed developments. In our residential business line, we build and sell a wide range of properties including plots, houses, duplexes and apartments of varying sizes, with a focus on the higher end of the market. In our commercial business line, we build and sell or lease commercial office space, with a focus on properties attractive to large multinational tenants. Our retail business line develops, manages and mainly leases shopping malls, which in many cases include multiplex cinemas. We are also expanding our business by entering into the infrastructure, SEZ and hotel businesses. With the growth of the Indian economy and the resulting increase in corporate and consumer income, as well as foreign investment, we see significant opportunities for growth in our three primary businesses. As part of our business expansion strategy, we have also started to diversify into other real estate related businesses such as the development of SEZs, the expansion of our multiplex cinema company, DT Cinemas, and the development of super luxury, business and budget hotels, as well as serviced apartments through joint ventures with Hilton, a leading international hotel company and with Bharat Hotels. In order to ensure the high quality of our projects, we have entered into joint ventures with WSP to provide us with engineering and design services and Laing ORourke to provide construction expertise. Further, we recently acquired an interest in Feedback Ventures to provide us with management consulting services. We and our predecessors have been steadily building our real estate business since 1946. Historically, our business has had a particular focus on real estate development in the NCR, which includes Delhi and adjacent areas such as Gurgaon. We have been responsible for the development of approximately 224 million square feet. This includes approximately 195 million square feet of land area sold as plots, 19 million square feet of residential properties, 7 million square feet of commercial properties and 3 million square feet of retail properties. As of April 30, 2007, we had residential projects with a saleable area of approximately 7 million square feet, which are under construction. All of these residential projects have been made available for sale. As of such date, we had commercial and retail projects with a lettable or saleable area of approximately 27 million square feet and 10 million square feet, respectively, which are under construction. Approximately 4 million square feet of this retail property have been made available for sale or lease. Between April 1, 2006 and April 30, 2007, we had signed lease agreements or letters of intent for office space aggregating 11.2 million square feet, in respect of commercial properties being developed by us. We have Land Reserves in various regions across India. As of April 30, 2007, these Land Reserves amounted to 10,255 acres with an aggregate estimated developable area of approximately 574 million square feet, including 4 million square feet of completed development, and of which 44 million square feet (excluding the share of joint venture partners) is under construction. Of our approximately 574 million square feet of developable area, we estimate that approximately 171 million square feet is located in or near developed urban areas, and a significant proportion of the balance is in or near areas that we believe will be developed as urban areas under the draft master plans proposed by the relevant authorities. We estimate that more than 90% of our Land Reserves are available as large, contiguous plots of land. Details of our Land Reserves are presented in the table under Description of Our Business Land Reserves below. As of April 30, 2007, in addition to our Land Reserves of 10,255 acres, we had entered into arrangements for the acquisition of land or development rights in relation to approximately 554 acres of land. The development plans for the 554 acres of land are at a preliminary stage. As of April 30, 2007, we also owned existing completed buildings in the NCR aggregating approximately 3.5 million square feet and owned plots of approximately 7.2 million square feet which do not form part of our Land Reserves. We also have plots which we expect will be developed into 23 super luxury and luxury hotel sites as well as a golf course, community clubs and power generation assets in DLF Power. 1
In fiscal 2007, our consolidated total income was Rs. 4,034.1 crore and our consolidated net profit was Rs. 1,941.3 crore, due in large part to the sale of certain commercial properties to DAL, which is a Promoter group company. For the three years ended March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, our consolidated total income was Rs. 1,242 crore, Rs. 626 crore and Rs. 526.6 crore, respectively, and our consolidated net profit was Rs. 191.7 crore, Rs. 86.5 crore and Rs. 53.8 crore, respectively. HISTORY OF OUR BUSINESS We and our predecessors have been steadily building our real estate business since 1946. We developed some of the first residential colonies in Delhi such as Krishna Nagar in East Delhi, which was completed in 1949. Since then we have been responsible for the development of many of Delhis other well known urban colonies, including South Extension, Greater Kailash, Kailash Colony and Hauz Khas. Following the passage of the Delhi Development Act in 1957, the state assumed control of real estate development activities in Delhi, which resulted in restrictions on private real estate colony development. We therefore commenced acquiring land at relatively low cost outside the area controlled by the DDA, particularly in the district of Gurgaon in the adjacent state of Haryana. This led to our first development, DLF Qutab Enclave, which has evolved into DLF City, our landmark project. DLF City is spread over 3,000 acres in Gurgaon and is an integrated township which includes residential, commercial and retail properties in a modern city infrastructure with schools, hospitals, hotels, shopping malls and a leading golf and country club. DLF City incorporates Cybercity, our leading commercial development, which when completed is expected to have developed area of approximately 20 million square feet. The following map illustrates the locations of our developments, projects and Land Reserves across India, as of April 30, 2007.

STRENGTHS We believe that the following are our primary competitive strengths: 2
An established brand name and reputation for project execution We are the largest real estate development company in India in terms of the area of our completed residential and commercial developments (Source: ACNielsen Report). Since 1946, we have been responsible for the development of approximately 224 million square feet, including 22 urban colonies as well as an entire integrated 3,000 acre township DLF City. Our position as a leading property developer is largely due to our established execution capabilities. Our reputation for providing prompt payment to landowners upon the acquisition of their land, developing and completing projects in a timely manner and conducting our business with transparency has created a relationship of trust with our customers and suppliers, many of whom have been involved with us across generations. We retain internationally and nationally renowned architectural consultants, such as Hafeez Contractor, the Jerde Partnership Inc. and Mohit Gujral, as well as design and engineering, construction and project management firms for our projects. Our suppliers provide specifically manufactured raw materials for our projects such as units to make ready-mixed concrete, elevator equipment and aluminium extrusions. Our reputation attracts multinational clients seeking to occupy multiple locations. Land Reserves We have Land Reserves in various regions across India, amounting to 10,255 acres, with 51% of our Land Reserves in the NCR, 23% in Kolkata, 5% in Goa, 5% in Mahararashtra, 3% in Indore, 4% in Punjab, 2% in Bangalore and the balance in various other states. While we have been acquiring land for many years, the rate at which we have been acquiring it has greatly increased in the last three years. We believe that our current Land Reserves are sufficient for our planned developments over the next ten years and provide us with a major competitive advantage as well as protection against land price inflation. The size of our Land Reserves also allows us to respond more effectively to changes in market conditions and demand. Strategic locations Our projects are strategically located. Our luxury residential developments benefit from desirable locations that appeal to our higher income customers, while our townships are developed with easy access to city centers. Our commercial developments are located in areas that are attractive to our multinational clients, particularly in the IT and ITES sectors. Our retail developments in conjunction with our multiplex cinemas afford convenient access to target customers of our retail clients, both in city centers and suburban locations. We believe that our ability to anticipate market trends and, in some cases, to influence the direction of these trends, provides us with the expertise to choose strategic locations. Scale of operations Our size allows us to benefit from economies of scale. We are able to purchase large plots of land from multiple sellers, thus enabling us to aggregate land at lower prices. We believe that we enjoy greater credibility with sellers of land as well as buyers of our properties as a result of our reputation and our scale of operations. We are able to undertake large scale projects in multiple phases, which provides us with the opportunity to monitor market acceptance and modify our projects in accordance with customer needs. We are able to integrate our residential, commercial and retail capabilities, allowing us to achieve greater value for our projects, as demonstrated by DLF City. The large scale of our developments within a business line creates demand for our other business lines. Additionally, we are able to use our bulk purchasing capabilities for the acquisition of raw materials such as cement and steel, the use of better construction technology such as pre-casting, as well as high cost equipment such as shuttering machines and tower cranes. Further, the extent and quality of our assets enable us to finance the active acquisition of land, adjust the scale of our projects and provide us with the flexibility of retaining rather than selling our developments in the event of an economic downturn. A tradition of innovation We have a tradition of innovation in the Indian real estate market. We were one of the first developers to anticipate the need for townships on the outskirts of fast growing cities and are generally credited with the growth of Gurgaon. We were one of the early developers to focus on theme-based projects such as The Magnolias development in DLF City, which includes a golf course. We are one of the few developers in India to provide commercial space with floor plates of over 100,000 square feet. We were an early developer of large shopping malls with integrated entertainment facilities. We continually offer our customers new designs and concepts. For example, in some of our super luxury developments, we allow purchasers to customize the layout of their new homes. Our developments typically integrate construction and 3
safety standards which exceed nationally prescribed minimum levels. For example, although Delhi and Gurgaon fall within the government stipulated Earthquake ZoneIV area, our buildings are designed to comply with the more stringent standards that are applicable in Zone-V areas, and while fire safety norms require fire sprinklers to be spaced 3.5 meters apart, the fire sprinklers in our buildings are placed 3.0 meters apart. We also provide management services for properties in all of our business lines. Experienced and dedicated management We have an experienced, highly qualified and dedicated management team, many of whom have over 20 years of experience in their respective fields. Because of our established brand name and reputation for project execution, we have been able to recruit high caliber management and employees. We provide our staff with competitive compensation packages and a corporate environment that encourages responsibility, autonomy and innovation. We believe that the experience of our management team and its in-depth understanding of the real estate market in India will enable us to continue to take advantage of both current and future market opportunities. STRATEGY Our mission is to build a world class real estate development company specializing in residential, commercial and retail real estate development and also encompassing the development of SEZs, infrastructure, multiplex cinemas and hotels. We aim to achieve the highest standards of professionalism, ethics and customer service and to thereby contribute to and benefit from the growth of the Indian economy. The key elements of our business strategy are as follows: Increase our Land Reserves in strategic locations We recognize that continuing to build our Land Reserves is critical to our growth strategy and we intend to continue acquiring land across India for our projects. We have identified and acquired land in and around 31 cities which we believe is suitable for our residential and commercial projects and are in the process of acquiring the land to facilitate our growth strategy. In respect of our retail business, we intend to identify and acquire land in 60 cities across India. We believe that our cash reserves, sanctioned loans and sales receivables are sufficient to finance the balance due in respect of our Land Reserves, which amounted to approximately Rs. 4,395.6 crore as of April 30, 2007. Expand our core business lines nationally As consumers aspirations have risen, so has the demand for high quality residential developments that integrate recreational facilities. We plan to focus on the development of super luxury and luxury residential projects and townships in key locations in India. We also intend to take advantage of increasing urbanization by investing in the development of townships on the peripheries of cities around the country. We intend to develop extensive commercial properties in selected cities, built to international standards in order to attract key multinational tenants and thereby strengthen our position as a leading developer of commercial real estate. We intend to take advantage of the growth of the Indian economy and changing consumer preferences to reinforce our position as a leading retail property developer in India. Our malls will provide modern retail space, customer service facilities and entertainment centers, along with high standard safety and security features. An important element of our growth strategy is to anticipate the expansion plans of our commercial and retail clients, thereby catering to their growing real estate requirements and advancing our strategy of geographic expansion. In addition to the 44 million square feet of projects that we have under construction, we have planned projects which we estimate will involve the development of plots, residential, commercial and retail developed area of approximately 46 million square feet, 375 million square feet, 60 million square feet and 44 million square feet, respectively, totaling 526 million square feet. We have already commenced the process of acquiring land in a number of cities across the country and have made partial payments for many of these lands. Engage in SEZ development SEZs are a new business concept in India, and provide attractive fiscal incentives for both developers and tenants. While the SEZ regime has recently been subject to controversy, we see the development of sector-specific as well as multi4
product SEZs as a major growth area for our Company. We have identified several potential locations for IT-specific SEZ development and have obtained final approvals from the Board of Approvals, GoI for two IT-specific SEZs in Gurgaon and one in Pune. We have also received final notification for our IT-specific SEZs in Chennai. In-principle approvals have been obtained with respect to our IT-specific SEZs in Delhi and Bhubaneswar. We are in the process of seeking approvals for several SEZs which will cover an aggregate area of 26,100 acres. We have received in-principle approvals for a multi-product SEZ in Ludhiana which will cover 2,500 acres and a multisector, product-specific SEZ in Amritsar covering 1,087.2 acres. We have received approvals from the Haryana Investment Promotion Board, which has agreed to provide support for setting up and developing a 20,000 acres multiproduct SEZ in Gurgaon and for 3,000 acres of land in Ambala. For details on the procedure for setting up of a SEZ, see Regulations and Policies in India on page 104. Engage in infrastructure development We recently entered into a joint venture with Laing ORourke plc, which is a leading UK-based construction company with a strong track record of major construction projects globally, and as of April 30, 2007, have commenced construction on 14 projects. Through the joint venture company, DLF Laing ORourke, we intend to continue benefiting from Laing ORourkes construction expertise and experience in our development projects and also intend to participate in the construction of infrastructure projects including roads, bridges, tunnels, pipelines, harbors, runways and power projects. We believe that the joint venture has created an opportunity to exploit new sources of revenue and has enabled our management to focus on new opportunities in our core business areas. DLF Laing ORourke and our joint venture partner Laing ORourke plc have submitted 10 tenders for construction of various infrastructure projects including roads, laying of railway tracks, airport terminals and a port. Expand into hotel development We recently entered into a joint venture with Hilton, a leading US-headquartered global hospitality company, to set up a chain of hotels and serviced apartments in India. We intend to enter into joint ventures with other leading hotel companies to develop hotels in the budget, business, four star, five star and deluxe segments. We believe that the hotel business will complement our existing business and that there will be opportunities to situate our hotels in or close to our other developments such as commercial centers, IT parks and shopping malls. We also plan to develop other tourism and leisure related assets. We intend to use our existing real estate capabilities as well as our joint venture company, DLF Laing ORourke, to develop these assets. Expand our operations in multiplex cinema development and operations through DT Cinemas In response to Indias rising disposable incomes and a rapidly growing middle class, we intend to expand our multiplex cinema business to provide for the highest cinematic standards and to become the preferred multiplex cinema destination. We intend to achieve this strategy by capitalizing on our position as one of Indias leading developers of malls, where we intend to develop and operate our multiplex cinemas. Enhance our design and construction capabilities We intend to further improve the quality of our real estate developments and the time taken to bring them to market. We plan to outsource a substantial part of the design and construction activity related to our projects to the WSP and DLF Laing ORourke joint ventures, respectively. We will also seek to collaborate with leading international real estate developers so as to benefit from their experience and know-how. For example, in November 2006, we signed a memorandum of understanding with Nakheel, a leading real estate developer based in the Middle East, to develop through a 50:50 joint venture, two projects in Gurgaon and South Maharashtra/Goa. We believe these joint ventures and collaborations will enable us to improve the construction quality of our developments, embark on more complex and ambitious projects and enable our management to focus on the development rather than the construction of our projects. These joint ventures also give us access to the latest advances in design and construction techniques, which will shorten the time taken to complete projects within our existing business lines as well as our proposed ventures. We will also benefit from the use of advanced architectural techniques and construction materials, so as to create innovative, environmentally friendly and profitable developments. 5

Credit Rating As the Issue is of equity shares, credit rating is not required. Issue Grading We have not opted for the grading of this Issue. Trustees As the Issue is of equity shares, the appointment of trustees is not required. Book Building Process Book Building Process refers to the process of collection of Bids, on the basis of the RHP within the Price Band. The Issue Price is fixed after the Bid/Issue Closing Date. The principal parties involved in the Book Building Process are: 1. 2. 3. 4. The Company; Book Runners; Syndicate Members who are intermediaries registered with SEBI or registered as brokers with NSE/BSE and eligible to act as underwriters. Syndicate Members are appointed by the Managers; and Registrar to the Issue.
The SEBI Guidelines have permitted an issue of securities to the public through the 100% Book Building Process, wherein at least 60% of Net Issue shall be allotted on a proportionate basis to QIBs. Of the QIB Portion, 5% would be available for allocation to Mutual Funds. If at least 60% of the Net Issue cannot be allotted to QIBs, then the entire application money will be refunded herewith. Further, not less than 10% of the Net Issue shall be available for allocation on a proportionate basis to Non-Institutional Bidders and not less than 30% 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 19

Illustration of Book Building and Price Discovery Process (Investors may note that this illustration is solely for the purpose of easy understanding and is not specific to the Issue) Bidders can bid at any price within the price band. For instance, assuming a price band of Rs. 40 to Rs. 48 per share, issue size of 6,000 equity shares and receipt of nine bids from bidders, details of which are shown in the table below. A graphical representation of the consolidated demand and price would be made available at the website of the NSE (www.nseindia.com) and BSE (www.bseindia.com). The illustrative book as shown below, shows the demand for the shares of the company at various prices and is collated from bids from various investors.

The price discovery is a function of demand at various prices. The highest price at which the issuer is able to issue the desired quantum of shares is the price at which the book cuts off i.e. Rs. 42 in the above example.

All bids at or above this issue price and cut-off bids are valid bids and are considered for allocation in respective category.

Except for a gift of 18,800,000 Equity Shares by Mr. Rajiv Singh to Ms. Pia Singh on December 6, 2006, our Promoters, the Promoter group and directors have not entered into any transactions in securities of our Company in the last six months. The following are the details of our employee stock option plan: In an EGM held on April 20, 2006, an employee stock option plan was approved by our shareholders for the 37
9.
grant of options for 3,500,000 Equity Shares to eligible employees as defined therein. Certain features of the ESOP were modified in the EGM held on January 4, 2007 and February 15, 2007. In compliance with the SEBI (Employee Stock Option and Stock Purchase Scheme) Guidelines, 1999, the following disclosures have been made in the notice for the extra ordinary general meeting dated April 20, 2006 for approving the ESOP Scheme:
Total number of options to be granted Identification of classes of employees entitled to participate in the ESOP Scheme Requirements of vesting, period of vesting and maximum period within which options shall be vested Exercise price or pricing formula Exercise period and process of exercise Not exceeding 17,000,000 equity shares* All permanent employees of the Company and its subsidiaries are eligible to participate
The options would vest not earlier than two years and not later than six years from the date of grant**
Rs. 2 per option (face value Rs. 2 per equity share) The exercise period shall be a period of three years from the date of the vesting of the options. The options will be exercisable by the employees by a written application to the Company to exercise the options in such manner, and on execution of such documents as may be prescribed by the Board of Directors of the Company or any committee of the Board of Directors of the Company from time to time. The options will lapse if not exercised within the specified exercise period. The eligibility of the employees will be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company or any committee of the Board of Directors of the Company. The maximum number of options to be issued per employee and in the aggregate shall not exceed 0.05% of the issued capital of the Company at the time of the grant of options***. The maximum number of options to be granted will be 17,000,000 in the aggregate*. Intrinsic value method
The appraisal process for determining the eligibility of employees to the ESOP Scheme Maximum number of options to be issued per employees and in aggregate Accounting method used by the Company to value its options
*The number of options to be granted was increased from 3,500,000 options to 17,000,000 options by the shareholders resolution in the extra ordinary general meeting of the Company dated January 4, 2007. **The minimum and the maximum vesting period has been modified from one and ten years, respectively, by the shareholders resolution in the extra ordinary general meeting dated February 15, 2007. *** The maximum number of options to be issued per employee in one or more tranches has been increased from 0.005% to 0.05% of the issued capital of the company by the shareholders resolution in the extra ordinary general meeting of the Company held on January 4, 2007. The Company undertakes to conform to the accounting policies as specified in the Clause 13.1 of the ESOP Guidelines. 38
In case the Company calculates the employee compensation cost using the intrinsic value of the stock options, the difference between the employee compensation cost so computed and the employee compensation cost that shall have been recognized if it had used the fair value of the options, shall be disclosed in the directors report and also the impact of this difference on profits and on EPS of the Company shall also be disclosed in the directors report. The ESOP shall be administered by the Committee of our Board, which will determine the quantum of the options, the eligibility criteria, the procedure and the terms for the granting, vesting and exercise of the stock options. The ESOP Scheme is in compliance with the SEBI (Employee Stock Option and Stock Purchase Scheme) Guidelines, 1999. Under Indian GAAP, the grant of these stock options will result in a charge to our profit and loss account based on the difference between the fair value of shares determined at the date of grant and Rs. 2. This expense will be amortised over the vesting period of the options. The stock options under the above plan have not been granted and the same may be granted by our Company, inter alia, at any time prior to the Allotment of the Equity Shares pursuant to this Issue. None of our employees and Directors who would be granted options under the ESOP Scheme would be entitled to exercise the same within three months after the date of listing of our Equity Shares, since the minimum vesting period under our ESOP scheme is two year from the date of grant. Other than the details given above, our Company has had no previous employee stock option and employee stock purchase schemes. However, our Company issued 3,385 equity shares of Rs. 10 each through preferential allotment to the employees on March 30, 1989. 10. 11. 12. An investor cannot make a Bid for more than the number of Equity Shares offered through the Issue, subject to the maximum limit of investment prescribed under relevant laws applicable to each category of investor. Except as disclosed in Our Management on page 109, none of our Directors and key managerial employees hold any Equity Shares. Except as disclosed under Note 22 and 23 Notes to the Capital Structure and except for issuance of the Equity Shares forfeited under Payment Method-I, there would be no further issue of capital whether by way of issue of bonus shares, preferential allotment, rights issue, or in any other manner during the period commencing from the submission of the RHP with SEBI until the Equity Shares to be issued pursuant to the Issue have been listed. Except as disclosed under Note 23 Notes to the Capital Structure, we presently do not intend or propose to alter our capital structure for a period of six months from the date of filing of Red Herring Prospectus, by way of split or consolidation of the denomination of Equity Shares or further issue of Equity Shares (including issue of securities convertible into or exchangeable, directly or indirectly for Equity Shares), whether preferential or otherwise except that if we enter into acquisitions or joint ventures, subject to necessary approvals, we may consider raising additional capital to fund such activity or use Equity Shares as currency for acquisition or participation in such joint ventures. There shall be only one denomination of the Equity Shares, unless otherwise permitted by law. We shall comply with such disclosure and accounting norms as may be specified by SEBI from time to time. As on May 18, 2007, the total number of holders of Equity Shares was 2,740. We have not raised any bridge loans against the proceeds of the Issue. Except as disclosed in Capital Structure - Notes to the Capital Structure on page 24 and Other Regulatory and Statutory Disclosures - Issues otherwise than for Cash on page 487, we have not issued any Equity Shares 39

out of revaluation reserves or for consideration other than cash. 18. 19. 20. Other than the employee stock options proposed to be issued under the Scheme, there are no outstanding warrants, options or rights to convert debentures, loans or other instruments into our Equity Shares. Our Promoters and members of the Promoter group will not participate in this Issue. There are certain restrictive covenants in the agreements that our Company has entered into with banks and financial institutions for short-term loans and long-term borrowings. For further details of the terms of these agreements, please refer to Financial Indebtedness on page 92. We have received the permission of the DIPP dated April 13, 2006 (bearing number 5(6)/2000-FC(Pt.File)) and the RBI dated April 24, 2006 (bearing number FE.CO.FID/22510/10.02.078/2005-06) for investment by FIIs in the Issue. For further details on the permissions received, see Material Contracts and Documents for Inspection on page 533. The Equity Shares issued pursuant to Payment Method-I would be made fully paid up or may be forfeited within 12 months from the date of Allotment. Such Equity Shares, which have been forfeited, may be re-issued by the Company. In fiscal 2006, our Company offered for subscription on a rights basis to our existing shareholders 3,508,007 unsecured debentures, which were optionally, fully or partly convertible at par or at premium. The offer was made to the shareholders of our Company as on November 18, 2005. The offer opened on December 29, 2005 and closed on January 18, 2006, and 3,426,024 debentures were issued for the applications received during the specified time period. Subsequently, our Company received complaints from certain shareholders of our Company pertaining to non-receipt of letter of offer for the rights issue. On October 10, 2006, the Board decided to revive and revalidate not more than 81,983 debentures, which were not subscribed to by the shareholders, to redress the grievances of the shareholders and to allot such shareholders the debentures according to their entitlement in terms of the rights issue. The decision of our Board was approved by the shareholders in an EGM held on November 14, 2006. Consequently, on November 24, 2006, December 5, 2006 and December 22, 2006, an aggregate of 44,773 debentures were allotted with attendant benefits (i.e. conversion into equity shares and bonus in the ratio of 7:1). Upon conversion of 44,773 debentures and issuance of bonus shares, an aggregate of 17,909,200 Equity Shares were issued on November 24, 2006, December 5, 2006 and December 22, 2006. Further, on March 13, 2007, 1,955 debentures were allotted with attendant benefits. Upon conversion of such 1,955 debentures and issuance of bonus shares, an aggregate of 782,000 Equity Shares were issued on March 13, 2007. Further, on May 18, 2007, 1,029 debentures were allotted with attendant benefits. Upon conversion of such 1,029 debentures and issuance of bonus shares, an aggregate of 411,600 Equity Shares were issued on May 18, 2007. An over-subscription to the extent of 10% of the Issue can be retained for the purposes of the rounding-off while finalizing the basis of Allotment. Pending issue of debentures in respect of prior rights issue of the Company and redressal of shareholder complaints In the rights issue of debentures undertaken by the Company in fiscal 2006, certain shareholders did not apply for/receive the allotment of debentures and consequently equity shares, for a number of reasons. We have examined each of the 111 complaints filed (including 57 complaints in respect of the non-allotment of debentures and consequently equity shares and 54 complaints in respect of other matters) individually on merits and has taken steps to redress the same. The Book Runners, along with independent legal advisors, have as best as possible factually verified the details of the complaints, our replies and the steps taken by us for the redressal of the complaints. The details in respect of each of these complaints are set forth in reports dated May 24, 2007 of the special committee of our Board, comprising Mr. M.M. Sabharwal, Dr. D.V. Kapur, Mr. T.C.

Subsequent to that date and till May 20, 2007 the RHP, SEBI, MCA, Stock Exchanges, Book Runners and the Company had received no complaints in the aggregate from shareholders in respect of debentures. Steps taken up to filing of the Red Herring Prospectus The Company has taken active steps to address and allot equity shares to its eligible shareholders (i.e. shareholders who were entitled to apply for debentures as on the record date of the rights issue of debentures i.e. November 18, 2005) who did not apply for/receive the allotment of such debentures. Until May 22, 2007, (i.e. two days prior to the date of filing of the RHP with the RoC) the Company had allotted 11,93,600 Equity Shares on this account to 54 shareholders, in two tranches, 7,82,000 Equity Shares on March 13, 2007 to 33 shareholders, resulting from an allotment of 1,955 debentures and the consequent conversion, bonus issue and split in face value, and 4,11,600 Equity Shares on May 18, 2007, to 21 shareholders, resulting from an allotment of 1,029 debentures, and the consequent conversion, bonus issue and split in face value.

# Certain complaints were received by SEBI as well as directly by the Company. To avoid repetition, such complaints have only been included in the Complaints received directly by the Company.
The Company has not allotted debentures with attendant benefits to three complainants due to various reasons.

In addition to the 57 complaints mentioned in the table above, one complainant has applied for a number of debentures over and above those that have been allotted to him as per his entitlement. We have not allotted such additional debentures to the complainant, in accordance with the terms of the rights issue. As stated in note 25 above, shares held by HUPL may be transferred to certain shareholders as of the record date of the rights issue to address any pending investor grievances after the date of this Red Herring Prospectus. 41
A detailed report in respect of the complaints received and the steps taken for a redressal of the same, has been provided in the Material Contracts and Documents for Inspection and may be inspected at the registered office of our Company situated at Shopping Mall, Third Floor, Arjun Marg, Phase-I, DLF City, Gurgaon, Haryana 122 002, India from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on working days until the Bid/Issue Closing Date.

Note: This is one of the possible method for calculating inactive shareholders. Calculations are likely to vary from time to time based on actual allotment of debentures, encashment of dividend etc. in future. (a) The Company and Haryana Electrical Udyog Private Limited (HUPL), a promoter group company which currently owns 14,865,400 equity shares of the Company, have entered in to an arrangement whereby any eligible shareholder of the Company who has not participated in the rights issue of debentures for any reason (not attributable to the Company), shall be entitled to receive equivalent shares of the Company from HUPL at a price of Rs. 2 per share, after submitting the relevant documents and payments and completing the required formalities. While determining the number of equivalent shares, the Company and HUPL shall take into account the debenture entitlement of the eligible shareholder, equity shares resulting from conversion of the debentures, the split of the face value of the equity shares and the bonus issue of shares undertaken in May 2006. For every equity share of face value Rs. 10 held by the eligible shareholder as on the record date of the rights issue undertaken by the Company in fiscal 2006, HUPL will transfer, subject to submission of relevant documents and payments, and completion of necessary formalities, 400 Equity Shares of the Company, at a price of Rs. 2 per Equity Share. SEBI has, by its letter dated May 7, 2007, exempted the Equity Shares transferred to such eligible shareholders from the lock-in requirements of one year from the date of Allotment. Equity Shares remaining with HUPL after such transfer, if any, will be locked in for the balance period of one year from the date of Allotment. The Company, HUPL and the Promoters are providing an irrevocable Power of Attorney in favour of Mr. M.M. Sabharwal and Brig. (Retd.) Narendra Pal Singh, independent directors of the Company (who shall liaise with Kotak Mahindra Capital Company and Amarchand Mangaldas & Suresh A. Shroff & Co.) to sign the demat instructions for the shares to be transferred from HUPL to persons who are eligible to receive these Equity Shares. 42
(b)
A list of the eligible shareholders falling in the above categories has been provided to the independent directors to enable them to confirm the eligibility of claimants to the Equity Shares. This benefit is only available for shareholders applying for their entitlements up to the later of (i) August 14, 2007 and (ii) 90 days from the date of allotment of Equity Shares in this Issue. The Company undertakes to remain listed on the Stock Exchanges for a period of not less than three years from the date of listing and commencement of trading of the Equity Shares pursuant to the Issue. Further, the Promoters undertake not to do any act/deed directly or indirectly that may result in delisting of the Equity Shares from the Stock Exchanges for a period of not less than three years from the date of listing and commencement of trading of the Equity Shares pursuant to the Issue.

OBJECTS OF THE ISSUE The objects of the Issue are to (a) finance expenditure for acquisition of land and development rights, (b) finance the construction and development costs for some of our existing projects, (c) repay certain loans of the Company and (d) achieve the benefits of listing on the Stock Exchanges. The main object clause of our Memorandum of Association and objects incidental to the main objects enable us to undertake our existing activities and the activities for which funds are being raised by us through this Issue. The net proceeds of the Issue, after deducting expenses relating to the Issue, are estimated at Rs. [] crore. The details of the utilization of the net proceeds of the Issue are as follows:
Sl. No. 1. 2. 3. Particulars Acquisition of land and development rights Development and construction costs for existing projects Prepayment of loans of our Company Total Amount (Rs. in crore) 3,500.0 3,493.4 [] []
The entire requirement of funds will be met though the proceeds of the Issue. Our funding requirements and the deployment of the net proceeds of the Issue are based on the estimates of our management and have not been appraised by any bank or financial institution or other independent third party. We operate in a highly competitive, dynamic and regulated industry, and may have to revise our estimates from time to time on account of new projects that we may pursue including any industry consolidation initiatives, such as potential acquisition opportunities. We may also reallocate expenditure to newer projects or those with earlier completion dates in the case of delays in our existing projects. Consequently, our fund requirements may also change accordingly. Any such change in our plans may require rescheduling of our expenditure programs, starting projects which are not currently planned, discontinuing projects currently planned and an increase or decrease in the expenditure for a particular project or land acquisition in relation to current plans, at the discretion of the Company. In case of variations in the actual utilization of funds earmarked for the purposes set forth above, increased fund requirements for a particular purpose may be financed by surplus funds, if any, available in respect of the other purposes for which funds are being raised in this Issue. If surplus funds are unavailable, the required financing will be through our internal accruals and debt. 1. Expenditure on acquisition of land and development rights. We are in the business of real estate development including residential, commercial and retail properties, and we intend to diversify into new businesses such as hotels, SEZs and infrastructure. For details of our business, see Our Business on page 66. We recognize that extensive land reserves are the most important resource for a real estate developer. Accordingly, we intend to utilize a part of the net proceeds of the Issue to finance expenditure on acquisition of land and development rights, directly or through various subsidiaries or other forms of investment. In the event that any acquisition of land is undertaken through subsidiaries or other forms of investments, the detailed terms and conditions of such investments would be decided, from time to time, on a project-wise basis. Estimated cost of acquisition of land and development rights and timelines. We propose to acquire lands and development rights mainly in and around 62 cities including Greater Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Ludhiana, Amritsar, Ghaziabad, Chandigarh, Kanpur, Lucknow, Noida/Greater Noida, Jaipur, Ahmedabad, Faridabad, Gurgaon, Kochi, Trivandrum, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad and Pune. These lands are at various stages of identification. Costs of acquiring land or development rights will vary depending on whether the lands are located in rural areas, metropolitan cities or other urban areas and whether such lands are located in prime locations or otherwise. We intend to utilize the entire amount earmarked for the 44
acquisition of land during fiscal 2008 and 2009. In respect of many of our acquisitions of land and development rights, we are required to pay an advance at the time of executing transaction agreements to purchase, with the remaining purchase price due upon completion of the acquisition. We also acquire lands through auction and prior to making a bid in the auction, we are required to pay a refundable deposit. The estimated costs described in this section include such advances and deposits. 2. Development and construction costs for existing projects. We are undertaking a number of projects in various parts of India. The details of some of our projects are provided in Our Business on page 66. We propose to deploy part of the net proceeds of the Issue towards meeting the development and construction costs of some of our projects under development. The total amounts we expect to deploy on these projects for fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2009 are Rs. 2,169.9 crore and Rs. 1,103.9 crore, respectively. We also propose to replenish from the net proceeds of the Issue Rs. 219.6 crore, which we have deployed in these projects after October 31, 2006 in fiscal 2007 (i.e. between November 1, 2006 and March 31, 2007).

Under section 54EC of the IT Act and subject to the conditions and to the extent specified therein, long-term capital gains (other than those exempt under section 10(38) of the IT Act) arising on the transfer of shares of the Company would be exempt from tax if such capital gain is invested within 6 months after the date of such transfer in the bonds (long term specified assets) issued by: (a) (b) National Highway Authority of India constituted under section 3 of The National Highway Authority of India Act, 1988; Rural Electrification Corporation Limited, the company formed and registered under the Companies Act, 1956.
If only part of the capital gain is so reinvested, the exemption available shall be in the same proportion as the 56
cost of long term specified assets bears to the whole of the capital gain. However, in case the long term specified asset is transferred or converted into money within three years from the date of its acquisition, the amount so exempted shall be chargeable to tax during the year such transfer or conversion. Under section 54F of the IT Act and subject to the conditions specified therein, long-term capital gains (other than those exempt from tax under Section 10(38) of the IT Act) arising to an individual or a Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) on transfer of shares of the Company will be exempt from capital gains tax subject to certain conditions, if the net consideration from transfer of such shares are used for purchase of residential house property within a period of 1 year before or 2 years after the date on which the transfer took place or for construction of residential house property within a period of 3 years after the date of such transfer. Under section 111A of the IT Act and other relevant provisions of the IT Act, short-term capital gains (i.e., if shares are held for a period not exceeding 12 months) arising on transfer of equity share in the Company would be taxable at a rate of 10 percent (plus applicable surcharge and education cess) where such transaction of sale is entered on a recognized stock exchange in India and is liable to securities transaction tax. Short-term capital gains arising from transfer of shares in a Company, other than those covered by section 111A of the IT Act, would be subject to tax as calculated under the normal provisions of the IT Act. Where shares of the Company have been subscribed in convertible foreign exchange, Non-Resident Indians (i.e. an individual being a citizen of India or person of Indian origin who is not a resident) have the option of being governed by the provisions of Chapter XII-A of the IT Act, which inter alia entitles them to the following benefits: ! Under section 115E, where the total income of a non-resident Indian includes any income from investment or income from long term capital gains of an asset other than a specified asset, such income shall be taxed at a concessional rate of 20 per cent (plus applicable surcharge and education cess). Also, where shares in the company are subscribed for in convertible foreign exchange by a Non-Resident India, long term capital gains arising to the non-resident Indian shall be taxed at a concessional rate of 10 percent (plus applicable surcharge and education cess). The benefit of indexation of cost and the protection against risk of foreign exchange fluctuation would not be available. Under provisions of section 115F of the IT Act, long term capital gains (in cases not covered under section 10(38) of the IT Act) arising to a non-resident Indian from the transfer of shares of the Company subscribed to in convertible Foreign Exchange (in cases not covered under section 115E of the IT Act) shall be exempt from Income tax, if the net consideration is reinvested in specified assets or in any savings certificates referred to in section 10(4B), within six months of the date of transfer. If only part of the net consideration is so reinvested, the exemption shall be proportionately reduced. The amount so exempted shall be chargeable to tax subsequently, if the specified assets are transferred or converted into money within three years from the date of their acquisition. Under provisions of section 115G of the IT Act, it shall not be necessary for a Non-Resident Indian to furnish his return of income under section 139(1) if his income chargeable under the IT Act consists of only investment income or long term capital gains or both; arising out of assets acquired, purchased or subscribed in convertible foreign exchange and tax deductible at source has been deducted there from as per the provisions of Chapter XVII-B of the IT Act.
In terms of section 88E of the IT Act, the securities transaction tax paid by the shareholder in respect of the taxable securities transactions entered into in the course of his business would be eligible for rebate from the amount of income-tax on the income chargeable under the head Profit and gains of business or profession arising from taxable securities transactions. Such rebate is to be allowed from the amount of income tax in respect of such transactions calculated by applying average rate of income tax on such income. As such, no deduction will be allowed in computing the income chargeable to tax as capital gains, such amount paid on account of securities transaction tax. As per Section 90(2) of the IT Act, provisions of the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement between India and the country of residence of the Non-Resident/ Non- Resident India would prevail over the provisions of the IT Act to the extent they are more beneficial to the Non-Resident/ Non-Resident India. 57
BENEFITS AVAILABLE UNDER THE WEALTH TAX ACT, 1957 Asset as defined under Section 2(ea) of the Wealth tax Act, 1957 does not include shares in companies and hence, shares of the Company held by the shareholders would not be liable to wealth tax.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
The information in this section is derived from various government publications and industry sources. Neither we nor any other person connected with the Issue have 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 their reliability cannot be assured and, accordingly, investment decisions should not be based on such information. THE INDIAN ECONOMY In recent years, India has experienced rapid economic growth. Indias GDP grew at 7.5%, 8.1% and 8.4% in fiscal 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively. In fiscal 2005, the industrial, agricultural and service sectors in India grew by 9.0%, 2.3% and 9.8%, respectively. An important factor in the growth of the services sector has been the strong growth of the IT and ITES sectors. These sectors benefited from the growing international trend toward off-shoring and the resultant demand for skilled, low cost, English speaking workers. Indian competitiveness in this area has been aided by substantial investment in telecommunications and infrastructure, and the phased liberalisation of the communications sector. The Reserve Bank of India has reported GDP growth of 9.5% in the second half of fiscal 2007. The charts below illustrate x GDP growth and its components, as well as projected GDP growth in fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2007:

THE REAL ESTATE SECTOR IN INDIA Historically, the real estate sector in India has been unorganized and characterised by various factors that impeded organized dealing, such as the absence of a centralised title registry providing title guarantee, a lack of uniformity in local laws and their application, non-availability of bank financing, high interest rates and transfer taxes and the lack of transparency in transaction values. In recent years, however, the real estate sector in India has exhibited a trend towards greater organisation and transparency, accompanied by various regulatory reforms. These reforms include: ! ! ! ! GoI support for the repeal of the Urban Land Ceiling Act, with nine state governments having already repealed the Act; modifications in the Rent Control Act to provide greater protection to homeowners wishing to rent out their properties; rationalisation of property taxes in a number of states; and the proposed computerisation of land records.
The trend towards greater organisation and transparency has contributed to the development of reliable indicators of value and organized investment in the real estate sector by domestic and international financial institutions and has also 59
resulted in the greater availability of financing for real estate developers. Regulatory changes permitting foreign investment are expected to further increase investment in the Indian real estate sector. The nature of demand is also changing, with heightened consumer expectations that are influenced by higher disposable incomes, increased globalisation and the introduction of new real estate products and services. These trends have been reinforced by the substantial recent growth in the Indian economy, which has stimulated demand for land and developed real estate across our business lines. Demand for residential, commercial and retail real estate is rising throughout India, accompanied by increased demand for hotel accommodation and improved infrastructure. Additionally, the tax and other benefits applicable to SEZs are expected to result in a new source of demand. Residential real estate development The growth in the residential real estate market in India has been largely driven by rising disposable incomes, a rapidly growing middle class, low interest rates, fiscal incentives on both interest and principal payments for housing loans and heightened customer expectations, as well as increased urbanisation and nuclearisation. In connection with a review of opportunities in the Indian real estate sector, Jones Lang LaSalles publication The New Investment Mantra Understanding Risks and Returns in the Indian Real Estate Sector (July, 2006), highlights that: ! ! Indias housing shortage has increased from 19.4 million units in 2004 to 22.4 million units in 2005-2006 and is expected to rise further; and The retail market for mortgages grew by 30% in the second quarter of 2004 and is expected to further grow at a CAGR of 17% from US$16 billion in fiscal 2006 to US$30 billion in fiscal 2009.
Further, Cushman & Wakefield have noted that there is scope for 400 township projects over the next five years spread across 30 to 35 cities, each having a population of more than 0.5 million and that the total project value dedicated to low and middle income housing in the next seven years is estimated at US$40 billion. (Source: Opportunities for Private Equity Investment in Indian Real Estate (4th Quarter, 2005)). The number of households with annual incomes of between Rs. 0.2 crore and Rs. 0.5 crore per year, Rs. 0.5 crore and Rs. 1 crore per year and in excess of Rs. 1 crore per year is expected to increase in size by 23%, 26% and 28%, respectively, between fiscal 2002 and fiscal 2010, as illustrated by the following chart:

We expect that these higher income households will be target customers for our luxury and super luxury residential developments. 60
According to CRIS INFACs Housing Annual Review (December 2005), the residential sector is expected to continue to demonstrate robust growth over the next five years, assisted by the rising penetration of housing finance and favourable tax incentives. CRIS INFAC estimates spending on new middle and higher income housing (i.e., the category it refers to as the urban pucca non-slum or UPNS housing) at Rs. 1.72 lac crore in fiscal 2005 and expects further growth at a CAGR of 18.6% over the next five years to Rs. 4.03 lac crore in fiscal 2010. Commercial real estate development The recent growth of the commercial real estate sector in India has been fuelled, in large part, by the increased revenues of companies in the services business, particularly in the IT and ITES sectors. Industry sources expect the IT and ITES sectors to continue to grow and generate additional employment, which we expect will result in increased demand for commercial space. According to the Monthly Review of the Indian Economy published by the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy in April 2006, companies in the services sector demonstrated the highest growth over the last 12 year period among the three components of Indian Economy, as illustrated by the following chart:
180% 160% 140% 120% 100% 80% 60% 40% 20% 0% Agriculture Industry Services 35% 123%

Within the IT and ITES sectors, the Indian off shoring operations of multinational companies are expected to increase demand for commercial space. The trend for these companies has been to set up world class business centers to house 61
their growing work force. According to Jones Lang La Salle, the total demand for commercial office real estate in 2005 in the top seven centres of Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad and Kolkata was over 22 million square feet and is expected to be over 25 million square feet in 2006 (The New Investment Mantra Understanding Risks and Returns in the Indian Real Estate Market (July 2006)). India continues to lead the AT Kearney Offshore Location Attractiveness Index by a significant margin. According to CRIS INFAC, the space required for the IT and ITES sectors is expected to increase at a CAGR of 25% over the three-year period ending 2007- 2008 and at a CAGR of 24% over the five year period ending 2007-2008. The IT and ITES sectors would require additional space of approximately 87 million square feet between fiscal 2006 and 2008, as illustrated by the following chart:

According to Cushman & Wakefield, capital flows into commercial property in 2004 increased by more than 40% over the previous year, leading to record high levels of new office development. In spite of this, higher demand has helped to stabilise vacancy rates. The IT, ITES and related sectors are estimated to account for more than 70% of net demand. Capital flows into commercial real estate over the next three years are estimated at more than US$5 billion. (Source: Opportunities for Private Equity Investment in Indian Real Estate (4th Quarter, 2005)). Retail real estate development CRIS INFAC estimates that retail spending in India in fiscal 2005 was Rs. 9.9 lac crore, of which organized retail accounted for Rs. 35,000 crore, or approximately 3.5%. The organized retail segment in India is expected to grow at a rate of 25% to 30% over the next five fiscal years. The growth of organized retail segment is expected to be driven by demographic factors, increasing disposable incomes, changes in perception of branded products, the entry of international retailers into the market, the availability of cheap finance and the growing number of retail malls (CRIS INFAC Retailing Annual Review (September 2005)). The major organized retailers in India currently include Tata-Trent, Pantaloon, Shoppers Stop and the RPG Group. While the organized retail segment has so far been limited to larger cities in the country, retailers have announced major expansion plans in smaller cities and towns. The growth of organized retail in India will also be affected by the reported entry into the sector of major business groups such as Reliance, Bennett & Coleman, Hindustan Lever, Hero Group and Bharti. International retailers such as Metro, Shoprite, Lifestyle and Dairy Farm International have already commenced operations in the country. In its publication Retailing Annual Review (September 2005), CRIS INFAC estimates that, over the next five years, 73.78 million square feet of floor space and Rs. 36,900 crore of real estate investment will be required to sustain the growing organized retail market. CRIS INFAC also estimates that this increased activity in retail would result in increased revenues in the organized retail sector, as illustrated by the following chart:

HOTELS Recent growth in the hotel sector in India has primarily been caused by the growing economy, increased business travel and tourism. According to CRIS INFAC (Hotels Annual Review (July 2006)) room demand will grow at a CAGR of 10% over the next five years. This is expected to be accompanied by increases in average room rates of 20% and 10% in fiscal 2007 and 2008, respectively. It is expected that the growth in occupancy rates will be assisted by factors such as the 10% CAGR in the number of incoming travellers to India over the next five years. The following chart shows changes in room demand and availability as well as occupation rates since fiscal 2000 and projections through to fiscal 2010:

According to its publication Hotels Annual Review (July 2006), CRIS INFAC estimates that investments in the hotel industry will be approximately Rs. 9,000 crore over the next five years. According to HVS International, the majority of segments in the Indian hotel industry have shown robust recent growth in room rates as well as occupancy rates (Indian Hotel Values Has the Summit Been Scaled? (April 26, 2006)). With increased demand and limited availability of quality accommodation, the average room rates in metropolitan markets have shown significant growth in 2006 including 36.7% for Hyderabad, 32.5% for Delhi, 30.5% for Jaipur, 24.7% for Mumbai and 24.0% for Bangalore. Agra, Kolkata, Chennai and Goa experienced a growth range of between 17.0% and 63
21.0% in 2006 (Hotels in India Trends in India). The general increase in both room rates and occupancy rates is expected to contribute significantly to the demand for new hotel developments. SEZs SEZs are specifically delineated duty free enclaves deemed to be foreign territories for the purposes of Indian custom controls, duties and tariffs. There are three main types of SEZs: integrated SEZs, which may consist of a number of industries; services SEZs, which may operate across a range of defined services; and sector specific SEZs, which focus on one particular industry line. For details about regulations and policies applicable to SEZs, see Regulations and Policies in India on page 104. Regulatory approvals have been received for SEZs proposed to be developed by a number of developers, including our Company, Reliance Industries Limited and Mahindra Gesco Developers Limited. SEZs, by virtue of their size, are expected to be a significant new source of real estate demand. According to the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, 61 SEZs are currently approved and under establishment. As of March 31, 2005, there were eight functional SEZs operating in India comprising 811 units, employing over a 100,000 people. Investment per unit in these SEZs is approximately Rs. 1,800 crore. INFRASTRUCTURE Central and state governments in India are increasingly focused on infrastructure development. According to CRIS INFAC, investment in infrastructure will increase to Rs. 2,89,200 crore in 2008 from Rs. 2,65,500 crore in fiscal 2005 as illustrated by the following table: Total Investments Rs. crore 2005-2006 Infrastructure Irrigation Power Roads Urban Infrastructure Total 42,300 16,300 38,300 40,200 2,65,500 2007-2008 48,200 12,600 52,800 51,200 2,89,200
A significant portion of infrastructure development is expected to be undertaken through public-private partnerships, thereby increasing the flow of private capital into infrastructure projects. Key areas of infrastructure development include transport, power, telecommunications, ports, pipelines, sanitation, water supply and irrigation. The current rate of infrastructure investment in India, at 3.5% of GDP, is well below the target rate of 8.0% proposed by the Expert Group on Commercialisation of Infrastructure Projects. The GoI has taken various initiatives to encourage this investment, such as capital grants, tax holidays and other fiscal incentives for certain types of projects. CINEMAS According to PricewaterhouseCoopers, the Indian entertainment industry is currently estimated at Rs. 23,400 crore. Films contribute a significant proportion (28%) to Indias entertainment industry (Source: The Indian Entertainment and Media Industry (FICCI - PwC Report (2006)). While the entertainment industry is expected to grow annually at almost 21% to reach approximately Rs. 61,700 crore by 2010, the Indian cinema industry is expected to reach Rs. 15,300 crore in 2010, contributing 25% to Indias entertainment industry. According to PricewaterhouseCoopers, the Indian cinema sector had revenues of Rs. 5.3 crore in 2005 (The Indian Entertainment and Media Industry (Source: FICCI - PwC Report (2006)). The key economic advantages of multiplex cinemas over single-screen cinemas include better occupancy ratios and the ability for cinema operators to choose to show movies in a larger or a smaller theatre based on expected audience size. Multiplex cinema operators are therefore able to maintain higher capacity utilization compared to single-screen cinemas 64
and can also provide a greater number of film showings. As each movie has a different screening duration, a multiplex cinema operator has the flexibility to decide on the screening schedule so as to maximize the number of shows in the multiplexes, thus generating a higher number of patrons. Furthermore, multiplexes allow for better exploitation of the revenue potential of the movie. The key growth drivers responsible for the expected increase in the number of multiplex cinemas include an increase in disposable income across an expanding Indian middle class, favourable demographic changes, strong growth in organized retail and the availability of entertainment tax benefits for multiplex cinema developers.

OUR BUSINESS
OVERVIEW We are the largest real estate development company in India in terms of the area of our completed residential and commercial developments (Source: ACNielsen Report) and our primary business is the development of residential, commercial and retail properties. Our operations span all aspects of real estate development, from the identification and acquisition of land, the planning, execution and marketing of our projects, through to the maintenance and management of our completed developments. In our residential business line, we build and sell a wide range of properties including plots, houses, duplexes and apartments of varying sizes, with a focus on the higher end of the market. In our commercial business line, we build and sell or lease commercial office space, with a focus on properties attractive to large multinational tenants. Our retail business line develops, manages and mainly leases shopping malls, which in many cases include multiplex cinemas. We are also expanding our business by entering into the infrastructure, SEZ and hotel businesses. With the growth of the Indian economy and the resulting increase in corporate and consumer income, as well as foreign investment, we see significant opportunities for growth in our three primary businesses. As part of our business expansion strategy, we have also started to diversify into other real estate related businesses such as the development of SEZs, the expansion of our multiplex cinema company, DT Cinemas, and the development of super luxury, business and budget hotels as well as serviced apartments through joint ventures with Hilton, a leading international hotel company and with Bharat Hotels. In order to ensure the high quality of our projects, we have entered into joint ventures with WSP to provide us with engineering and design services and Laing ORourke to provide construction expertise. Further, we recently acquired an interest in Feedback Ventures to provide us with management consulting services. We and our predecessors have been steadily building our real estate business since 1946. Historically, our business has had a particular focus on real estate development in the NCR, which includes Delhi and adjacent areas such as Gurgaon. We have been responsible for the development of approximately 224 million square feet. This includes approximately 195 million square feet of land area sold as plots, 19 million square feet of residential properties, 7 million square feet of commercial properties and 3 million square feet of retail properties. As of April 30, 2007, we had residential projects with a saleable area of approximately 7 million square feet, which are under construction. All of these residential projects have been made available for sale. As of such date, we had commercial and retail projects with a lettable or saleable area of approximately 27 million square feet and 10 million square feet, respectively, which are under construction. Approximately 4 million square feet of this retail property have been made available for sale or lease. Between April 1, 2006 and April 30, 2007, we had signed lease agreements or letters of intent for office space aggregating 11.2 million square feet, in respect of commercial properties being developed by us. We have Land Reserves in various regions across India. As of April 30, 2007, these Land Reserves amounted to 10,255 acres with an aggregate estimated developable area of approximately 574 million square feet, including 4 million square feet of completed development, and of which 44 million square feet (excluding the share of joint venture partners) is under construction. Of our approximately 574 million square feet of developable area, we estimate that approximately 171 million square feet is located in or near developed urban areas, and a significant proportion of the balance is in or near areas that we believe will be developed as urban areas under the draft master plans proposed by the relevant authorities. We estimate that more than 90% of our Land Reserves are available as large, contiguous plots of land. Details of our Land Reserves are presented in the table under Description of Our Business Land Reserves below. As of April 30, 2007, in addition to our Land Reserves of 10,255 acres, we had entered into arrangements for the acquisition of land or development rights in relation to approximately 554 acres of land. The development plans for the 554 acres of land are at a preliminary stage. As of April 30, 2007, we also owned existing completed buildings in the NCR aggregating approximately 3.5 million square feet and owned plots of approximately 7.2 million square feet which 66
do not form part of our Land Reserves. We also have plots which we expect will be developed into 23 super luxury and luxury hotel sites as well as a golf course, community clubs and power generation assets in DLF Power. In fiscal 2007, our consolidated total income was Rs. 4,034.1 crore and our consolidated net profit was Rs. 1,941.3 crore, due in large part to the sale of certain commercial properties to DAL, which is a Promoter group company. For the three years ended March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, our consolidated total income was Rs. 1,242 crore, Rs. 626 crore and Rs. 526.6 crore, respectively, and our consolidated net profit was Rs. 191.7 crore, Rs. 86.5 crore and Rs. 53.8 crore, respectively. HISTORY OF OUR BUSINESS We and our predecessors have been steadily building our real estate business since 1946. We developed some of the first residential colonies in Delhi such as Krishna Nagar in East Delhi, which was completed in 1949. Since then we have been responsible for the development of many of Delhis other well known urban colonies, including South Extension, Greater Kailash, Kailash Colony and Hauz Khas. Following the passage of the Delhi Development Act in 1957, the state assumed control of real estate development activities in Delhi, which resulted in restrictions on private real estate colony development. We therefore commenced acquiring land at relatively low cost outside the area controlled by the DDA, particularly in the district of Gurgaon in the adjacent state of Haryana. This led to our first development, DLF Qutab Enclave, which has evolved into DLF City, our landmark project. DLF City is spread over 3,000 acres in Gurgaon and is an integrated township which includes residential, commercial and retail properties in a modern city infrastructure with schools, hospitals, hotels, shopping malls and a leading golf and country club. DLF City incorporates Cybercity, our leading commercial development, which when completed is expected to have developed area of approximately 20 million square feet. The following map illustrates the locations of our developments, projects and Land Reserves across India, as of April 30, 2007.

STRENGTHS We believe that the following are our primary competitive strengths: An established brand name and reputation for project execution We are the largest real estate development company in India in terms of the area of our completed residential and commercial developments (Source: ACNielsen Report). Since 1946, we have been responsible for the development of approximately 224 million square feet, including 22 urban colonies as well as an entire integrated 3,000 acre township DLF City. Our position as a leading property developer is largely due to our established execution capabilities. Our reputation for providing prompt payment to landowners upon the acquisition of their land, developing and completing projects in a timely manner and conducting our business with transparency has created a relationship of trust with our customers and suppliers, many of whom have been involved with us across generations. We retain internationally and nationally renowned architectural consultants, such as Hafeez Contractor, the Jerde Partnership Inc. and Mohit Gujral, as well as design and engineering, construction and project management firms for our projects. Our suppliers provide specifically manufactured raw materials for our projects such as units to make ready-mixed concrete, elevator equipment and aluminium extrusions. Our reputation attracts multinational clients seeking to occupy multiple locations. Land Reserves We have Land Reserves in various regions across India, amounting to 10,255 acres, with 51% of our Land Reserves in the NCR, 23% in Kolkata, 5% in Goa, 5% in Mahararashtra, 3% in Indore, 4% in Punjab, 2% in Bangalore and the balance in various other states. While we have been acquiring land for many years, the rate at which we have been acquiring it has greatly increased in the last three years. We believe that our current Land Reserves are sufficient for our planned developments over the next ten years and provide us with a major competitive advantage as well as protection against land price inflation. The size of our Land Reserves also allows us to respond more effectively to changes in market conditions and demand. Strategic locations Our projects are strategically located. Our luxury residential developments benefit from desirable locations that appeal to our higher income customers, while our townships are developed with easy access to city centers. Our commercial developments are located in areas that are attractive to our multinational clients, particularly in the IT and ITES sectors. Our retail developments in conjunction with our multiplex cinemas afford convenient access to target customers of our retail clients, both in city centers and suburban locations. We believe that our ability to anticipate market trends and, in some cases, to influence the direction of these trends, provides us with the expertise to choose strategic locations. Scale of operations Our size allows us to benefit from economies of scale. We are able to purchase large plots of land from multiple sellers, thus enabling us to aggregate land at lower prices. We believe that we enjoy greater credibility with sellers of land as well as buyers of our properties as a result of our reputation and our scale of operations. We are able to undertake large scale projects in multiple phases, which provides us with the opportunity to monitor market acceptance and modify our projects in accordance with customer needs. We are able to integrate our residential, commercial and retail capabilities, allowing us to achieve greater value for our projects, as demonstrated by DLF City. The large scale of our developments within a business line creates demand for our other business lines. Additionally, we are able to use our bulk purchasing capabilities for the acquisition of raw materials such as cement and steel, the use of better construction technology such as pre-casting, as well as high cost equipment such as shuttering machines and tower cranes. Further, the extent and quality of our assets enable us to finance the active acquisition of land, adjust the scale of our projects and provide us with the flexibility of retaining rather than selling our developments in the event of an economic downturn.

A tradition of innovation We have a tradition of innovation in the Indian real estate market. We were one of the first developers to anticipate the need for townships on the outskirts of fast growing cities and are generally credited with the growth of Gurgaon. We were one of the early developers to focus on theme-based projects such as The Magnolias development in DLF City, which includes a golf course. We are one of the few developers in India to provide commercial space with floor plates of over 100,000 square feet. We were an early developer of large shopping malls with integrated entertainment facilities. We continually offer our customers new designs and concepts. For example, in some of our super luxury developments, we allow purchasers to customize the layout of their new homes. Our developments typically integrate construction and safety standards which exceed nationally prescribed minimum levels. For example, although Delhi and Gurgaon fall within the government stipulated Earthquake ZoneIV area, our buildings are designed to comply with the more stringent standards that are applicable in Zone-V areas, and while fire safety norms require fire sprinklers to be spaced 3.5 meters apart, the fire sprinklers in our buildings are placed 3.0 meters apart. We also provide management services for properties in all of our business lines. Experienced and dedicated management We have an experienced, highly qualified and dedicated management team, many of whom have over 20 years of experience in their respective fields. Because of our established brand name and reputation for project execution, we have been able to recruit high caliber management and employees. We provide our staff with competitive compensation packages and a corporate environment that encourages responsibility, autonomy and innovation. We believe that the experience of our management team and its in-depth understanding of the real estate market in India will enable us to continue to take advantage of both current and future market opportunities. STRATEGY Our mission is to build a world class real estate development company specializing in residential, commercial and retail real estate development and also encompassing the development of SEZs, infrastructure, multiplex cinemas and hotels. We aim to achieve the highest standards of professionalism, ethics and customer service and to thereby contribute to and benefit from the growth of the Indian economy. The key elements of our business strategy are as follows: Increase our Land Reserves in strategic locations We recognize that continuing to build our Land Reserves is critical to our growth strategy and we intend to continue acquiring land across India for our projects. We have identified and acquired land in and around 31 cities which we believe is suitable for our residential and commercial projects and are in the process of acquiring the land to facilitate our growth strategy. In respect of our retail business, we intend to identify and acquire land in 60 cities across India. We believe that our cash reserves, sanctioned loans and sales receivables are sufficient to finance the balance due in respect of our Land Reserves, which amounted to approximately Rs. 4,395.6 crore as of April 30, 2007. Expand our core business lines nationally As consumers aspirations have risen, so has the demand for high quality residential developments that integrate recreational facilities. We plan to focus on the development of super luxury and luxury residential projects and townships in key locations in India. We also intend to take advantage of increasing urbanization by investing in the development of townships on the peripheries of cities around the country. We intend to develop extensive commercial properties in selected cities, built to international standards in order to attract key multinational tenants and thereby strengthen our position as a leading developer of commercial real estate. We intend to take advantage of the growth of the Indian economy and changing consumer preferences to reinforce our position as a leading retail property developer in India. Our malls will provide modern retail space, customer service facilities and entertainment centers, along with high standard safety and security features. An important element of our growth strategy is to anticipate the expansion plans of our commercial and retail clients, thereby catering to their growing real estate requirements and advancing our strategy of geographic expansion. In addition to the 44 million square feet of projects that we have under construction, we have planned projects which we estimate will involve the 69
development of plots, residential, commercial and retail developed area of approximately 46 million square feet, 375 million square feet, 60 million square feet and 44 million square feet, respectively, totaling 526 million square feet. We have already commenced the process of acquiring land in a number of cities across the country and have made partial payments for many of these lands. Engage in SEZ development SEZs are a new business concept in India, and provide attractive fiscal incentives for both developers and tenants. While the SEZ regime has recently been subject to controversy, we see the development of sector-specific as well as multiproduct SEZs as a major growth area for our Company. We have identified several potential locations for IT-specific SEZ development and have obtained final approvals from the Board of Approvals, GoI for two IT-specific SEZs in Gurgaon and one in Pune. We have also received final notification for our IT-specific SEZs in Chennai. In-principle approvals have been obtained with respect to our IT-specific SEZs in Delhi and Bhubaneswar. We are in the process of seeking approvals for several SEZs which will cover an aggregate area of 26,100 acres. We have received in-principle approvals for a multi-product SEZ in Ludhiana which will cover 2,500 acres and a multisector, product-specific SEZ in Amritsar covering 1,087.2 acres. We have received approvals from the Haryana Investment Promotion Board, which has agreed to provide support for setting up and developing a 20,000 acres multiproduct SEZ in Gurgaon and for 3,000 acres of land in Ambala. For details on the procedure for setting up of a SEZ, see Regulations and Policies in India on page 104. Engage in infrastructure development We recently entered into a joint venture with Laing ORourke plc, which is a leading UK-based construction company with a strong track record of major construction projects globally, and as of April 30, 2007, have commenced construction on 14 projects. Through the joint venture company, DLF Laing ORourke, we intend to continue benefiting from Laing ORourkes construction expertise and experience in our development projects and also intend to participate in the construction of infrastructure projects including roads, bridges, tunnels, pipelines, harbors, runways and power projects. We believe that the joint venture has created an opportunity to exploit new sources of revenue and has enabled our management to focus on new opportunities in our core business areas. DLF Laing ORourke and our joint venture partner Laing ORourke plc have submitted 10 tenders for construction of various infrastructure projects including roads, laying of railway tracks, airport terminals and a port. Expand into hotel development We recently entered into a joint venture with Hilton, a leading US-headquartered global hospitality company, to set up a chain of hotels and serviced apartments in India. We intend to enter into joint ventures with other leading hotel companies to develop hotels in the budget, business, four star, five star and deluxe segments. We believe that the hotel business will complement our existing business and that there will be opportunities to situate our hotels in or close to our other developments such as commercial centers, IT parks and shopping malls. We also plan to develop other tourism and leisure related assets. We intend to use our existing real estate capabilities as well as our joint venture company, DLF Laing ORourke, to develop these assets. Expand our operations in multiplex cinema development and operations through DT Cinemas In response to Indias rising disposable incomes and a rapidly growing middle class, we intend to expand our multiplex cinema business to provide for the highest cinematic standards and to become the preferred multiplex cinema destination. We intend to achieve this strategy by capitalizing on our position as one of Indias leading developers of malls, where we intend to develop and operate our multiplex cinemas. Enhance our design and construction capabilities We intend to further improve the quality of our real estate developments and the time taken to bring them to market. We plan to outsource a substantial part of the design and construction activity related to our projects to the WSP and DLF Laing ORourke joint ventures, respectively. We will also seek to collaborate with leading international real estate 70
developers so as to benefit from their experience and know-how. For example, in November 2006, we signed a memorandum of understanding with Nakheel, a leading real estate developer based in the Middle East, to develop through a 50:50 joint venture, two projects in Gurgaon and South Maharashtra/Goa. We believe these joint ventures and collaborations will enable us to improve the construction quality of our developments, embark on more complex and ambitious projects and enable our management to focus on the development rather than the construction of our projects. These joint ventures also give us access to the latest advances in design and construction techniques, which will shorten the time taken to complete projects within our existing business lines as well as our proposed ventures. We will also benefit from the use of advanced architectural techniques and construction materials, so as to create innovative, environmentally friendly and profitable developments. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS In April 2007, we agreed in principle with Prudential International Investments Corporation (PIIC) to establish an asset management joint venture company (AMC JV) primarily focused on the Indian capital markets. The minimum paid up capital of the joint venture will be the equivalent of US$8.3 million of which US$ 3.3 million would be contributed by our Company and the remaining US$ 5 million by PIIC and it, and an associated trustee company, will initially be 60% owned by PIIC and 40% owned by us. Further, in April 2007, we signed a Memorandum of Cooperation with Fraport AG Frankfurt Airport Services Worldwide (Fraport) to establish a special purpose vehicle (DLF Fraport SPV) for the purposes of focusing on the development and management of certain airport projects in India. The memorandum states that the shareholding of each of the parties in DLF Fraport SPV shall be mutually agreed such that each of parties shall hold not less than 26% in the ultimate management company. DESCRIPTION OF OUR BUSINESS Land Reserves We have Land Reserves in various regions across India. As of April 30, 2007, these Land Reserves amounted to 10,255 acres with an aggregate estimated developable area of approximately 574 million square feet, including 4 million square feet of completed development, and of which 44 million square feet (excluding the share of joint venture partners) is under construction.

As of April 30, 2007, the balance due in respect of payments for the acquisition of our Land Reserves (in relation to our Land Reserves of 10,255 acres) was Rs. 4,395.6 crore out of a total consideration of Rs. 13,491.1 crore. Most of our Land Reserves are located in or near prominent cities across India and include approximately 5,269 acres in the NCR, 242 acres in Bangalore, 113 acres in Chennai, 22 acres in Mumbai, 433 acres in Chandigarh, 2,331 acres in Kolkata, 385 acres in Pune, 265 acres in Indore, 153 acres in Nagpur and 524 acres in Goa. The remaining 518 acres of our Land Reserves are located in 16 cities, comprising 40 acres in Hyderabad, 200 acres in Lucknow, 102 acres in Shimla, 54 acres in Bhubaneshwar, 25 acres in Sonepat, 13 acres in Ahmedabad, 12 acres in Baroda, 10 acres in Panipat, 8 acres in Jallandhar, 8 acres in Amritsar, 4 acres in Kochi, 3 acres in Jaipur, 2 acres in Ludhiana, 2 acres in Coimbatore, 30 acres in Kakkanad and 5 acres in Vytilla. Of our approximately 574 million square feet of developable area, we estimate that approximately 171 million square feet is located in or near developed urban areas, and a significant proportion of the balance is in or near areas that we believe will be developed as urban areas under the draft master plans proposed by the relevant authorities. We estimate that more than 90% of our Land Reserves are available as large, contiguous plots of land. In addition to our Land Reserves of 10,255 acres, we have entered into arrangements for the acquisition of land or development rights in relation to approximately 554 acres of land located in and around five cities, comprising approximately 162 acres in the NCR, 156 acres in Chennai, 176 acres in Chandigarh, 35 acres in Ahmedabad and 25 acres in Gandhinagar. The development plans for these 554 acres of land are at a preliminary stage. Of these 554 acres of land, approximately 90% pertains to land for which we have entered into memoranda of understanding or agreements to purchase and 6% pertains to land which has been allotted to us by relevant local authorities, for both of which we have not completed the acquisition. The remaining 4% of these additional lands (i.e., 22 acres) represents our share under a collaboration arrangement that we have entered into in respect of such lands. As of April 30, 2007, the balance due in respect of payments for the acquisition of these additional lands was Rs. 1,054.0 crore. Our business lines We have three main lines of business - residential, commercial and retail real estate development, and we plan to undertake significant nationwide development within each of these business lines. We have also began to diversify into other real estate related businesses such as the development of SEZs, infrastructure construction through our joint 75
venture with Laing ORourke plc, the expansion of our multiplex cinema company, DT Cinemas, and the development of luxury, business, upscale and mid-market budget hotels and serviced apartments through joint ventures with Hilton, a leading international hotel company and Bharat Hotels. In order to ensure the high quality of our projects, we have entered into a joint venture with WSP to provide us with engineering and design services, and we recently acquired a 19% share interest in Feedback Ventures to provide us with management consulting services. We are also exploring alliances and opportunities with respect to real estate related opportunities in fields such as airport management, leisure and entertainment, infrastructure development, hospitals and wind power and other opportunities in insurance. The following table presents, as of April 30, 2007, the approximate saleable or lettable area of our completed developments, projects under construction and planned projects for which we have commenced land acquisition, with respect to our plots and in our three main lines of business:
Business line Plots Residential Commercial Retail Total Completed Developments 195 19 7 3 224 Projects Under Construction (million sq. ft.) 7 27 10 44 Planned Projects 46 375 60 44 526
Our residential business Our residential real estate projects are focused on the creation of new suburbs through large scale developments, as well as developments of luxury and super luxury residential accommodation on a smaller scale. We completed Krishna Nagar, our first residential colony, in 1949. Since then, we have been responsible for the development of approximately 224 million square feet of colonies and townships. This includes approximately 195 million square feet of plots and 19 million square feet of residential properties, with the balance being distributed across our commercial and retail properties. In addition, as of April 30, 2007, we had launched residential projects with a saleable area of approximately 7 million square feet which are under construction. We have implemented innovative approaches to the development and marketing of our residential projects and were one of the early developers to focus on theme-based projects, such as The Magnolias development in DLF City, which includes a golf course. We see the leisure facilities associated with our luxury and super luxury residential accommodation as not only a powerful marketing tool, but also an additional source of revenue. Another innovation, introduced in some of our super luxury developments, is to enable our customers to customize the layout of their new homes. Our completed residential real estate developments Our major developments have been within DLF City in Gurgaon. The development of DLF City commenced in 1980. DLF City has since become our largest development and is an integrated township with residential, commercial, retail and entertainment components spread over 3,000 acres. Within DLF City, many of our residential developments provide high quality amenities, including security systems, power generation, air conditioning, sports and recreational facilities, as well as valet parking. The table below provides information as of April 30, 2007 relating to certain of our completed and sold residential developments in DLF City.

Our planned residential real estate projects Our goal is to build our residential real estate business across India. We plan to focus on the development of super luxury and luxury residential projects and townships in key locations in India. We also intend to take advantage of increasing urbanization by investing in the development of townships on the peripheries of cities around the country. We have acquired 23 acres of land for a super luxury residential development in Chanakyapuri in New Delhi. We have also acquired, or are in the process of acquiring, land for township development in and around Amritsar, Bangalore, Chennai, Chandigarh, Goa, Gurgaon, Ludhiana, Indore, Jaipur, Mumbai, Pune and Shimla. Additionally, in April 2006, we won a bid, together with a joint venture partner, to acquire 35.8 acres of land in New Delhi, on which we intend to develop 3,500 units of affordable housing and a super luxury residential development comprising 750 units. This development is a public private partnership between our joint venture and the DDA, which requires us to develop a certain proportion of low income housing within the development. Our commercial business Our commercial real estate projects are focused on developing an extensive portfolio of commercial properties built to international standards. Our first significant commercial development was DLF Centre, an office building located in central Delhi, which opened in 1992. DLF Centre provides leased commercial space to a number of multinational corporations and serves as our corporate headquarters. The majority of our other commercial properties are in DLF City, Gurgaon. Many of these commercial properties are part of DLF Cybercity, which is a major commercial area that is being developed in DLF City. As of April 30, 2007, of the 4.6 million square feet of our commercial real estate which was available for rent, 97.4% was occupied. We have sought to strengthen and expand our relationships with our commercial clients. For example, our relationship with a Fortune 500 IT Company started in 2000 with a leased area of 48,000 square feet. With the expansion of the clients business in India, its leased area grew ten times to 483,000 square feet in DLF City. When the client sought to expand to Chandigarh and Kolkata, it chose us for its commercial space and has committed to lease up to 230,000 square feet in Kolkata and 60,000 square feet in Chandigarh.

As of April 30, 2007, we had signed lease agreements or letters of intent for office space aggregating 11.2 million square feet, in respect of commercial properties being developed by us. Our planned commercial real estate projects The Indian commercial real estate market has witnessed strong demand. We expect that sectors such as IT and ITES will continue to drive demand for commercial real estate. We intend to develop extensive commercial properties in selected cities, built to international standards in order to attract key multinational tenants and further strengthen our position as a leading developer of commercial real estate. A key element of our growth strategy is to anticipate the expansion plans of our clients and thereby cater to their growing real estate requirements. In addition to the approximately 27 million square feet of commercial projects under construction, we have procured rights to develop approximately 60 million square feet of commercial space in various locations across India, including NCR, Pune and Kolkata. Approximately 27 million square feet of commercial projects is currently under construction. Most of our future developments will be in the IT specific SEZs category, and we will be leasing these buildings on long-term or perpetual leases. We plan to sell our nonSEZs office buildings. Our sales of commercial real estate projects In fiscal 2007, we recognized revenue of Rs. 2,207.1 crore in relation to the sale of certain commercial properties to DAL. These transactions were approved by our audit committee, following which the properties were transferred to DAL. In the future, we may sell additional commercial properties. Any such sales are expected to be conducted through a competitive bidding process which would require potential purchasers to establish capitalization rates at the time of bidding. DAL has agreed that it will not compete with us in our real estate project developments, but may act as a codeveloper with us in SEZ projects. 81
Our retail business Our retail business was established in the 1940s and we have evolved into one of Indias leading retail real estate developers, with properties across the country. We originally established our business in the development of local markets and community shopping centers; however, given the improving Indian economy and increasing spending power and consumption, we have actively pursued modern retailing developments by building some of Indias earliest malls and, since 2001, we have been developing air-conditioned mega malls and other retail spaces. We are now one of Indias leading developers of retail space in terms of the development of malls, shopping centers and markets. We have six retail real estate development formats catering to the entire spectrum of the retail market. Through this broad based approach, we are able to serve the needs of customers with different buying patterns and purchasing power. These formats are stand-alone stores, shopping centers, prime downtown shopping districts, neighborhood malls, destination malls and super luxury malls. Our malls have a superior tenant profile, including established and anchor tenants and are characterized by aesthetic design, high quality infrastructure as well as leisure and entertainment options such as multiplex cinemas, food courts and restaurants. The locations of our malls, as well as the mix of retail outlets within them, are carefully planned based on the profile of the relevant catchment areas as well as our understanding of consumer preferences, with the aim of attracting shoppers and ensuring an attractive mix of international brands, national retailers and leading local retailers. In our mall expansion strategy, we endeavor to cater to the expansion strategies of our tenants by providing them with retail space in a variety of preferred locations and encouraging them to take space in a number of our developments. For example, we have a memorandum of understanding with Trent, the retail business of the Tata Group, to partner with us across their intended retail formats in our future malls, occupying a minimum of 150,000 square feet in each mall. We also have a memorandum of understanding with Metro Cash & Carry to identify suitable retail spaces in various locations across the country that would be suitable for joint development. DT Cinemas was incorporated in 1999 and opened its first multiplex in Gurgaon in March 2003. DT Cinemas currently operates two multiplex cinemas with a total of six screens and 1,328 seats. We intend to open several new multiplex cinemas in and around New Delhi and are also in the final stages of planning the development of multiplexes in other locations across India, including Chennai, Hyderabad, Ludhiana, Mumbai and Bangalore. Our retail business model includes both the sale and the ownership and leasing of our retail developments. In the past, we have sold almost all of the units in our retail developments, generally before completion of construction, with payments of the purchase price being made in installments after payment of an initial deposit. We intend to retain ownership of most of our retail developments as well as manage our malls in order to control the quality of the retail space and maintain an appropriate mix of tenants. We charge management fees to our tenants as part of our mall management service. We are currently pursuing an ambitious strategy to expand our retail business. Our strategy is to cover the entire spectrum of the retail sector but with both a particular focus on retail space in prime locations where customers will have greater purchasing power and a desire for a greater variety of retail outlets, making them, in effect, retail high streets. The size of our malls is also increasing due to consumer demand for greater retail diversity and we believe that in the future, size will be an important determinant of the success of a mall. It is our intention that our city center malls will range in size from 200,000 square feet to one million square feet of lettable space and our out-of-town destination malls will each have approximately two million square feet of lettable space. Our completed retail real estate developments To date, all our malls have been developed in DLF City.

We have experienced time and cost overruns in relation to some of our retail projects in the last five years. For example, there have been delays in the development of Emporio, Promenade and Noida Town Square Mall. For further details, see History and Certain Corporate Matters on page 132. Examples of our completed and sold retail estate developments include DLF City Centre and DLF Mega Mall. DLF City Centre. DLF City Centre is situated in Gurgaon along the Mehrauli-Gurgaon Road.

Our current retail real estate projects We currently have retail projects under construction with approximately 10 million square feet of saleable or lettable retail space across the country.

Examples of our current retail projects include DLF Place (which includes the Emporio Mall and Promenade Mall), the South Point Pantaloon Mall, the Courtyard Mall and Jasola in Delhi. DLF Place. DLF Place is envisioned to be one of the countrys foremost retail landmarks and will comprise two separate malls linked by a landscaped open air entertainment and leisure area. It will be located near Vasant Vihar in New Delhi, which has an affluent catchment area. The first of these malls will be the Emporio super luxury mall, comprising a total lettable area of approximately 0.3 million square feet of high quality retail space. Emporios interior will be designed by a leading interior designer. The mall will have four levels and space for a large number of leading international and national luxury retailers. The second mall will be Promenade, which will have a mix of retail offerings appealing to middle to upper middle income segments. Promenade will include restaurants, a food court and a multiplex cinema and will have a total lettable area of approximately 0.4 million square feet. Courtyard. The Courtyard Mall project is located at Saket in South Delhi and targets an affluent catchment area. The project is part of an integrated development with commercial space as well as a hotel. The project comprises a total saleable or lettable area of approximately 0.5 million square feet of high quality retail space and will consist of a department store, a variety of restaurants and a multiplex cinema. The project will also provide parking for up to 990 vehicles. Jasola. Jasola is located in the NCR and is expected to have a total lettable area of approximately 0.84 million square feet, comprising 0.13 million square feet of retail space and 0.71 million square feet of commercial space. The project will include a fitness center, a food court, restaurants, power backup to offices, central air-conditioning and fiber optic connectivity. Jasola is strategically located adjacent to the main Mathura road leading to Kalindi Kunj and NOIDA. Our planned retail real estate projects We intend to locate our future retail real estate projects across the country, encompassing our six retail formats and have secured land for the development of approximately 44 million square feet of retail space in addition to the land for current projects. Approximately 10 million square feet of such projects is currently under construction. A significant proportion of our planned malls will be situated in prime city centers, although a number of destination malls are also planned for the outskirts of Indias major cities. Most of our planned malls will contain multiplex cinemas, developed and operated by DT Cinemas. The largest of our planned projects is the Mall of India, which will be located in Gurgaon. We believe that this project will result in Indias largest mall, with a total lettable area of approximately 3.9 million square feet and a total land area of 32.87 acres. The mall is designed by the Jerde Partnership Inc., an international firm of architects, and is currently under construction by DLF Laing ORourke. Our property management services Our property management subsidiary, DLF Services, provides maintenance and management services for properties in our residential, commercial and retail business lines. DLF Services will continue to provide maintenance and management services for our new projects. 84
Examples of the maintenance and management services that we provide include power distribution, back-up power generation, central air conditioning, water supply, drainage pumping, janitorial services, security services, parking management, pest control, fire detection and solid waste disposal and management. We outsource most of these operations to qualified and experienced vendors, although we take responsibility for developing standard operating procedures, maintenance schedules and addressing complaints. We are ISO 9001:2000 certified in recognition of our process-driven operating structure. This international quality management standard appeals to our multinational clients, who expect superior quality standards. We also maintain transparency by conducting annual audits of expenses incurred and refunding the excess amounts, if any, that may have been collected from tenants, and believe that this contributes to customer satisfaction. DLF Power Our subsidiary DLF Power was founded in 1988. Its early operations included the setting up of captive power plants. Upon the opening up of electricity generation to private operators by the GoI, DLF Power commenced supplying electricity to Coal India Limited and the Assam State Electricity Board in the mid-1990s. DLF Power has five power plants in Eastern India with an aggregate capacity of 55 MW and recognized a profit of Rs. 6.3 crore in fiscal 2006. DLF Power has experienced difficulties in collecting dues from its customers and is currently in the process of trying to resolve these difficulties through various proceedings. We believe that DLF Powers capabilities are a valuable asset in developing captive power resources for our planned projects and will be a competitive advantage in the development of large SEZs, townships and infrastructure projects. New businesses Special Economic Zones The GoI has recently taken a number of measures to encourage foreign investment in and exports from the country. These include the introduction in 2005 of a Special Economic Zone regime under which specified land is deemed to be foreign territory for the purposes of Indian customs controls, duties and tariffs. SEZs provide an internationally competitive and relatively unregulated environment for export oriented activities. For details, see Regulations and Policies in India Special Economic Zones on page 105. SEZs are a new business concept in India, and provide attractive fiscal incentives for both developers and tenants. SEZs are a key element of the infrastructure development plans of the central and state governments in India, which are increasingly authorizing the development of SEZs in various locations across the country. We see the development of sector specific as well as multi-product SEZs as a major growth area for our Company. We have identified several potential locations for IT-SEZ development and have obtained final approvals from the Board of Approvals, GoI for two IT-specific SEZs in Gurgaon, and one in each of Hyderabad and Pune. We have also received final notification for our IT-specific SEZ in Chennai. In-principle approvals have been obtained with respect to our IT-specific SEZs in Delhi and Bhubaneswar. We are in the process of seeking approvals for several SEZs which will cover an aggregate area of 26,100 acres. We have received in-principle approvals for a multi-product SEZ in Ludhiana which will cover 2,500 acres and a multisector, product-specific SEZ in Amritsar covering 1,087.2 acres. We have received approvals from the Haryana Investment Promotion Board, who has agreed to provide support for setting up and developing 20,000 acres multiproduct SEZ in Gurgaon and for 3,000 acres of land in Ambala. Each multi-product SEZ will be developed as an integrated township and will include residential accommodations, commercial and retail facilities, as well as schools, hospitals, hotels and other support infrastructure, including captive power generation facilities. The SEZ regime faces a number of public interest, regulatory, political and litigation challenges, and the risks facing our SEZ business are discussed under Risk Factors Our plans to develop SEZs are subject to a number of contingencies and may not be successful.
85
Hotels There has been a substantial increase in demand for high quality accommodation across the Indian hotel sector due largely to increased business tourism, a decline in airfares and greater investment in infrastructure. We intend to develop luxury, business, upscale, mid-market and budget hotels, as well as serviced apartments. We also intend to enter into strategic partnerships, in which we shall hold at least 50% of the equity, for the development of our hotel projects in each of these segments. We recently entered into a joint venture with Hilton to develop and own a chain of hotels and serviced apartments in India. In this regard, we executed an Alliance Agreement and a Shareholder Agreement with Hilton on June 30, 2006. Under the terms of the Alliance Agreement, the joint venture company plans to acquire and develop 50 to 75 hotels and serviced apartments in India under certain Hilton brands. Hilton will manage all of the hotels developed under this joint venture. Each hotel or serviced apartment will either be owned by the joint venture company or a company in which the joint venture company holds no less than 26% of the equity share capital. The joint venture will receive an equity investment of up to US$550 million over the next five to seven years, of which we will contribute approximately US$407 million, or 74% of the total equity share capital. The remaining US$143 million, or 26% of the total equity, will be contributed by Hilton. The joint venture company is in the process of evaluating 22 sites for the construction of up to 5,000 rooms catering to the business, four star, five star and deluxe segments of the hotel and serviced apartments market. For details of the terms of the Shareholder Agreement with Hilton, see History and Certain Corporate Matters on page 132. In addition to our proposed joint venture with Hilton, we intend to enter into contracts or joint ventures with other leading international companies for the acquisition and development of budget and super luxury hotels as well as serviced apartments. Tourism and Related Leisure Activities We also plan to develop our tourism and leisure related assets. We intend to use our existing real estate capabilities as well as our joint ventures to continue building these businesses. We believe that there will be opportunities to locate our hotels, tourism and leisure related businesses in or close to our other developments, such as commercial centers, IT parks and shopping malls. DT Cinemas We run our multiplex cinema business under the brand name DT Cinemas and derive revenues from ticket receipts, advertisements and concessions. DT Cinemas was incorporated in 1999 and opened its first multiplex with three screens and 895 seats in Gurgaon in March 2003. In July 2004, DT Cinemas opened its second multiplex at Mega Mall with three screens and 433 seats. We intend to open several new multiplex cinemas in and around New Delhi, including a four-screen, 1,154 seat multiplex in Shalimar Bagh in North-West Delhi, a six-screen, 1,202 seat multiplex in Saket, a seven-screen, 1,465 seat multiplex in Vasant Kunj, New Delhi, a six-screen, 1,400 seat multiplex in Noida and a threescreen, 754 seat multiplex in Chandigarh. We are also in the final stage of planning the development of multiplexes in other locations across India, including Chennai, Hyderabad, Ludhiana, Mumbai and Bangalore. As part of our growth strategy we intend to mirror the growth exhibited in Indias retail market in our multiplex cinema business by becoming an anchor client in most of our malls. Our cinemas will average four screens per multiplex. Joint Venture with Prudential Insurance In February 2007, we entered into an agreement with US-based Prudential Insurance to establish a joint venture company to develop, promote market and sell life insurance products in India. Under the terms of the agreement, the parties will contribute a joint equity investment of up to US$250 million in the joint venture company over seven years, in proportion to our respective shareholdings, of which DLF is currently holding 74%.

Wind Energy We are also considering developing a wind power business in certain Indian states where our real estate projects are located. We intend that the power generated will be distributed through the local governments infrastructure to our real estate projects within the state. Other Real Estate Related Business Opportunities In addition to exploring alliances and opportunities in real estate development, SEZ development, budget and super luxury hotel segments as well as serviced apartments, we are also exploring business opportunities in airport management, leisure and entertainment, infrastructure development, insurance, hospital properties and financial services. We also intend to form an asset management company which will raise funds for SEZs, infrastructure and super luxury hotel developments. OUR PROJECT EXECUTION METHODOLOGY We have established a systematic process for land identification and acquisition, project execution and the sales and marketing of our completed developments. Land identification and acquisition Our land acquisition team monitors real estate markets and emerging trends. The team assesses selected markets to identify cities and localities with development potential. In addition, we have a good working relationship with major external property consultants who provide information regarding future development areas and availability. We also work closely with several large local land or property dealers who are instrumental in locating suitable plots. The initial assessment and selection of the land involves a detailed assessment of the plot with a focus on the lands development potential and location. After we conduct a preliminary land title evaluation and the land title is reviewed by local lawyers, a preliminary agreement is entered into with the landowners for the purchase of the land. Following title clearance, we either acquire the land or enter into a joint development agreement with the owners. For details on the land for which we have entered into joint development agreements, see Risk Factors 9 We may not be able to develop all of our Land Reserves. Project planning and execution The project planning and execution process commences with the obtaining of requisite regulatory approvals, including environmental approvals and the development of a project concept based on the areas marketability, target customers and potential return. After a detailed review of the site parameters, we formalize an architectural brief based on the project concept which is subsequently finalized with selected architects and other external consultants. We closely monitor the development process, construction quality, actual and estimated project costs and construction schedules. We endeavor to maintain high health and safety standards in all of our real estate developments. In order to ensure the high quality of our projects, we have entered into a series of memoranda of understanding and agreements with leading design and engineering, construction and project management companies. The following diagram illustrates our project execution methodology:
87
We believe these elements of our project execution methodology are essential for developing products which appeal to consumers at the higher end of the markets. Our memoranda of understanding and agreements include: Design and Engineering We have recently entered into a joint venture agreement with WSP to form a joint venture company. Our Company and WSP have an equal shareholding in the joint venture company with identical rights and privileges with respect to dividends and voting rights. Our joint venture company will be jointly managed by representatives nominated by both our Company and WSP, and will be engaged in the business of providing engineering and design services, environmental and infrastructural facilities as well as project management services. We expect to take advantage of this joint venture to further the residential, commercial, retail, entertainment and mixed-use projects that are being developed or proposed by our Company or its affiliates. Construction In 2006, we entered into a joint venture with a leading UK-based construction company, Laing O'Rourke plc, which has been the principal contractor for a number of major construction projects globally. These include the construction of Terminal 5 at London Heathrow airport and a terminal at the Dubai international airport. Laing ORourke currently operates worldwide, with operations in the UK and Ireland, the Middle East, Asia, Europe, the Far East and Australia and employs more than 23,000 people. Through the joint venture company, DLF Laing ORourke, we benefit from Laing ORourkes construction expertise and experience, which enables our management to focus on the development rather than the construction of projects. We believe the joint venture company will improve the quality of construction in our developments and also allow us to embark on more complex and ambitious projects. As of April 30, 2007, the joint venture company had commenced the development of 14 projects covering a total area of 25.7 million square feet with an order-book of Rs. 4,172.1 crore. DLF Laing ORourke is currently executing residential projects such as The Magnolias and The Belaire, commercial projects such as the IT parks in Hyderabad, Gurgaon and Bangalore and retail projects such as Town Square Mall in Noida, Mumbai Mills Mall and the Mall of India in Gurgaon and Jasola in Delhi. For details on the joint venture arrangement, see History and Certain Corporate Matters on page 132. We also plan to use the joint venture as a vehicle to participate in the construction of infrastructure projects, including roads, bridges, tunnels, pipelines, harbors, runways and power plants. We believe that the joint venture will create opportunities to develop new sources of revenue, as well as enable our management to focus on the expansion of our core business areas. Additionally, in November 2006, we signed a memorandum of understanding with Nakheel to develop, through a 50:50 joint venture, two projects in Gurgaon and South Maharashtra/Goa. Nakheel is one of the premier real estate developers in the United Arab Emirates, with a focus on the development of residential, tourist, 88
commercial and retail real estate. Properties developed by Nakheel include the Palm Islands, The World Islands, Jumeirah Lake Towers, Discovery Gardens, Lost City and Ibn Battuta Mall. Project Management We recently paid Rs. 15.83 crore to acquire a 19% share interest in Feedback Ventures, a company established in 1989 and currently employing approximately 500 technically qualified employees specializing in assisting Indian and international firms to set up new projects in infrastructure, SEZs, townships, retail and hospitality sectors across India. Feedback Ventures has become one of the largest companies providing consulting, engineering, project management and project development services for infrastructure projects in India. We intend to benefit from Feedback Ventures experience by streamlining our planning and execution capabilities, particularly in relation to our infrastructure projects, SEZs and townships.
Sales and marketing We operate three separate marketing departments, one for each of our residential, commercial and retail business lines. Our residential business line benefits from a sales department which functions in conjunction with its marketing departments. Our sales and marketing function is illustrated in the chart below.
Formulation of Marketing Strategy Project Launch Project Sales Collection Possession and Post Possession Services

We believe that we have a loyal customer base and encourage the participation of former buyers or tenants in our new product launches. We employ various marketing approaches depending on whether the project is residential, commercial or retail. These include launch events, corporate presentations, web marketing, direct and indirect marketing, as well as newspaper and outdoor advertising. Our marketing team sells our residential projects both directly to customers and through brokers. In our commercial and retail business lines, we market space primarily through property consultants and by using our relationships with existing tenants. Different marketing approaches are used to target anchor commercial and retail tenants. We use approximately 120 brokerage firms to market our properties. Most of the sale bookings are performed at project sites, although sales are also made at our corporate offices. Our sales teams have positive and negative compensation incentives tied to their sales performance. A client servicing team services the customer from the booking process through to the transfer of property to the new owner. We have relationships with various banks and housing finance companies which provides our customers with convenient access to financing. These banks also share some of our advertising costs. SAFETY MEASURES We have implemented a number of precautionary measures for the safety of our customers while undertaking the development of various projects, including the following: 89
The structural design and construction of our buildings are carried out in accordance with the relevant provisions of National Building Code, applicable building bylaws, as stipulated by the Bureau of Indian Standards. The buildings are designed and built for the prevalent appropriate seismic loads, all dead loads and live loads, and wind pressure. In all cases, normal strengthening is provided in the designs of buildings to resist distress during an earthquake. To ensure fire safety in the buildings, we comply with the applicable statutory fire safety standards as stipulated by the National Building Code involving provisions of fire detection and fire fighting equipment, including fire alarm systems, wet riser systems, sprinkler systems, smoke detectors and fire doors. Moreover, fire escape stairs or ramps, are provided for evacuation. We also organize periodic fire safety and evacuation mock drills at our projects at regular intervals to improve fire safety awareness. Additionally, inspections of our fire safety systems and equipment are undertaken at regular intervals to ensure their operational effectiveness. To ensure safety against flooding, suitable design measures are adopted, including the provision of storm water drainage systems, drains in basements connected to collection sumps with sump pumps, and raised plinth levels in the buildings. All buildings are insured.
Additionally, we have employed various measures and technologies to maximize the life of the buildings, and we undertake regular inspections to repair any damage caused by normal wear and tear. We also utilize scientific methods to check the land mass strength needed for constructing multi-storey buildings. Based on the scientific tests performed on soil load bearing capacity and other soil properties, suitable foundation arrangements and design are implemented to ensure a safe and stable structure. INSURANCE We maintain comprehensive insurance coverage with ICICI Lombard for all of our projects. Our insurance includes coverage for fire, cash transfer, cash handling, fidelity, work in progress, raw materials, accident and general insurance. We do not have coverage for contractors liability, timely project completion, loss of rent or profit, defects in the quality of materials used or consequential damages for a tenants lost profits. In addition, we maintain directors and officers liability insurance. EMPLOYEES As of April 30, 2007, we had approximately 2,600 employees, including 2,100 professionals, an increase of 800 since October 31, 2006. This increase reflected the continuing expansion of our business. We do not count any manpower employed by our sub-contractors as our employees. We expect that with the growth of our business, human resources and employee recruitment activities will increase. We recruit employees directly from universities, colleges and institutions and also through advertisements and public notices.

COMPETITION The real estate development industry in India, while fragmented, is highly competitive. We expect to face competition from large domestic as well as international property development and construction companies as a consequence of, among other things, the relaxation of the FDI policy for the real estate sector, rising government expenditures on infrastructure and various policy initiatives for the development of SEZs. Moreover, as we seek to diversify our regional focus, we face the risk that some of our competitors may be better known in other markets, enjoy better relationships with landowners and international joint venture partners, gain early access to information regarding attractive parcels of land and be better placed to acquire such land. Our competitors include real estate developers such as Unitech Limited, Hiranandani Developers Limited and the Raheja Group. We also expect to face competition in our new businesses from, among others, established construction firms, hotel companies and various other business groups.

REGULATIONS AND POLICIES IN INDIA We are engaged in the business of real estate development. Since our business involves the acquisition of land in several states, it is subject to central and state legislation which regulates substantive and procedural aspects of the acquisition of, development and transfer of land. Additionally, our projects require, at various stages, the sanction of the concerned authorities under the relevant state legislation and local bye-laws. While the real estate development industry remains largely unregulated, we are subject to land acquisition, town planning and social security laws. We are also subject to the regulations and policies governing SEZs. The following is an overview of the important laws and regulations which are relevant to our business as a real estate developer. CENTRAL LAWS Laws relating to land acquisition The Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Act, 1976 prescribes the limits to urban areas that can be acquired by a single entity. It has, however, been repealed in some states and union territories under the Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Repeal Act, 1999. Further, land holdings are subject to the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 which provides for the compulsory acquisition of land by the central government or appropriate state government for public purposes, including planned development and town and rural planning. However, any person having an interest in such land has the right to object to such compulsory acquisition and has the right to compensation. Laws regulating transfer of property Transfer of Property Act, 1882 The transfer of property, including immovable property, between living persons, as opposed to the transfer of property by the operation of law, is governed by the Transfer of Property Act, 1882 (T.P. Act). The T.P. Act establishes the general principles relating to the transfer of property, including, among other things, 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. Registration Act, 1908 The Registration Act, 1908 (Registration Act) has been enacted with the object of providing public notice of the execution of documents affecting the transfer of an interest in immoveable 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 the present or in future, any right, title or interest, whether vested or contingent, in immovable property of the value of Rs. 100 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 T.P. Act or as collateral), unless it has been registered. The Indian Stamp Act, 1899 There is a direct link between the Registration Act and the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 (Stamp Act). Stamp duty needs to be paid on all documents specified under the Stamp Act and at the rates specified in the Schedules thereunder. The rate of stamp duty varies from state to state. The stamp duty is payable on instruments at the rates specified in Schedule I of the said Act. The applicable rates for stamp duty on these instruments, including those relating to conveyance, are prescribed by state legislation. 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. The Stamp Act also provides for impounding of instruments which are not sufficiently stamped or not stamped at all. 104
The Easements Act, 1882 The law relating to easements is governed by the Easements Act, 1882 (Easements Act). The right of easement is derived from the ownership of property and has been defined under the Easements Act to mean 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 respect of certain other land not his own. Under this law, an easement may be acquired by the owner of immovable property, i.e. the dominant owner, or on his behalf by the person in possession of the property. Such a right may also arise out of necessity or by virtue of a local custom. Laws relating to employment The employment of construction workers is regulated by a wide variety of generally applicable labor laws, including the Contract Labor (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970, the Minimum Wages Act, 1948, the Payment of Bonus Act, 1965, the Building and Other Construction Workers (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 1996 and the Payment of Wages Act, 1936. Special Economic Zones As part of our business, we propose to develop SEZ at suitable locations across India. SEZs are regulated and governed by the Special Economic Zone, Act, 2005 (SEZ Act). An SEZ is a specifically delineated duty free enclave, deemed to be a foreign territory for the purposes of trade as well as duties and tariffs. Any private or public company or state government or its agencies may set up an SEZ in India. Each SEZ unit functions on a self-certification basis. An SEZ is notified by the Department of Commerce, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, GoI. One of the special features of an SEZ is that no governmental license is required for imports, including for second hand machineries and there is minimal examination of imports by customs to enable efficient operations. A Board of Approval (SEZ Board) has been set up under the SEZ Act, which is responsible for promoting SEZs and ensuring its orderly development. The SEZ Board has a number of powers including the authority to approve proposals for the establishment of the SEZ, the operations to be carried out in the SEZ by the developer, the foreign collaborations and foreign direct investments. The setting up and performance of business units in the SEZ is approved and monitored by an Approval Committee consisting of the Development Commissioner, officers from the central and state governments and a representative of the developer (as a special invitee). The Development Commissioner is the nodal officer for SEZs, exercising all powers vested under the SEZ Act. The procedure for setting up of a SEZ is as follows: 1. An application for setting up of an SEZ should be made to the SEZ Board in the prescribed format; specifying, inter alia, the details of applicant, location of proposed SEZ, investment and shareholding details of the developer, proposed activity in the processing and non-processing area of SEZ, undertaking to abide by SEZ Act, etc. The proposal for a SEZ is to be recommended by the state government either before the approval is granted by the SEZ Board or it may be obtained by the developer within six months from the date of grant of approval by the SEZ Board. Within specified period of receipt of communication from the SEZ Board, a Letter of Approval in the prescribed format is issued by the Central Government (Ministry of Commerce) to the developer. The Letter of Approval remains valid for a period of three years, within which time effective steps is to be taken by the developer to implement the approved proposal. The SEZ Board may, at its discretion, extend the validity of the Letter of Approval for a period not exceeding two years. Upon grant of the Letter of Approval from the Central Government, the developer is required to submit the exact particulars of the land identified. Upon satisfying itself of compliance with all conditions with respect of the land and other requirements under the SEZ Act and rules, the Central Government notifies the area as a SEZ. Further, the Central Government may also notify additional area to already existing SEZs. Additionally, a developer is required to submit to the SEZ Board details of the "authorized operations" to be undertaken within the SEZ at the time of seeking approval for setting up of a SEZ or after the Letter of Approval has been granted in this regard. The SEZ Board approves the "authorized operations" for a SEZ. Only 105

subsequent to such approval, would the SEZ Board allow the developer to claim exemptions, drawbacks and other fiscal benefits with respect to goods or services procured by him to carry on authorized operations within the zone. The developer or codeveloper is required to have at least 26% of the equity in the entity proposing to create business, residential or recreational facilities in a SEZ in case such development is proposed to be carried out through a separate entity or special purpose vehicle being a company formed and registered under the Companies Act. The unit has to achieve positive net foreign exchange to be calculated cumulatively for a period of five years from the commencement of production. By establishing operations in an SEZ, an entity is eligible for the following benefits: ! as per provisions of the I.T. Act, a company is entitled to deduction of 100% of the profits and gains derived from export of goods manufactured or produced from its unit set up in Special Economic Zone for a period of five consecutive assessment years beginning with the assessment year relevant to the previous year in which the unit begins such manufacture and 50% of such profits and gains for further five consecutive assessment years. Further, for the next five consecutive assessment years, the company is entitled to deduction of such amount not exceeding 50% of the profit as is debited to Profit & Loss Account of the previous year in respect of which the deduction is to be allowed and credited to a special reserve viz. Special Economic Zone Reinvestment Reserve Account to be created and utilised for the purpose of the business in the manner laid down in the I.T. Act; Where the gross total income of an assessee, being a developer, includes any profits and gains derived by an undertaking or an enterprise from any business of developing a SEZ, notified on or after April 1, 2005 under the SEZ Act, 2005 there shall, be a deduction of an amount equal to 100% of the profits and gains derived from such business for ten consecutive years. The deduction can be claimed by the assessee can be claimed by him for any ten consecutive assessment years out of fifteen years from the year in which a SEZ had been notified by the GoI; the provisions of the minimum alternate tax imposed by the I.T. Act will not be applicable to the company; the company is also exempted from paying dividend distribution tax; no custom duty will be levied for any goods imported into, or service provided in, the SEZ for the purposes of its authorised operations. No custom duty is applicable to any export of goods or services from the company to any place outside India and no excise duty is applicable to goods brought from within Indias domestic tariff area to the SEZ to enable the company to carry on its authorised operations; and Additionally, there is an exemption from service tax on taxable services provided to the company to carry on its authorised operations in the SEZ and there is an exemption from the levy of taxes on the sale or purchase of goods, as long as the goods are needed to carry on the companys authorised operations. Additional benefits may be available to a company as per the provisions of local statutes, depending on where the SEZ is located.
! ! !
In addition to the above, most state governments extend additional benefits and incentives under their respective SEZ schemes such as exemption from local taxes, levies and duties, exemption from electricity, water duties, and declaration of SEZs as Public Utility Services and delegate the powers of the labor commissioner to development commissioner of the SEZ. Industrial parks The GoI has notified the Industrial Park Scheme (the Scheme) on April 1, 2002 in relation to the establishment of industrial parks. Proposals to establish industrial parks which meet the criteria set out in the Scheme are accorded automatic government approval by the SIA. Proposals not meeting such parameters require the prior sanction of the Empowered Committee' set up in the Department of Industrial Policy & Promotion, Ministry of Commerce & Industry, GoI. Objectives of industrial parks Any project, being an industrial park, is required to aim at setting up (a) an industrial model town for development of industrial infrastructure for carrying out integrated manufacturing activities, including research and development by 106
providing plots or sheds and common facilities within its precincts, (b) an industrial park for development of infrastructural facilities or built-up space with common facilities in any area allotted or earmarked for the purposes of specified industrial uses, or (c) a growth centre under the growth centre scheme of the GoI. Tax exemptions Under the Scheme, a developer who has established an industrial park before March 31, 2009 is granted tax exemptions for a period of ten years in the form of deduction of 100% of business profits earned from the development, operation and maintenance of the industrial park. The tax benefits under the I.T. Act can be availed only after the number of units indicated in the application to the GoI, are located in the industrial park. STATE LAWS Urban development laws 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 thereunder and require sanctions from the government departments and developmental authorities at various stages. For instance, in certain states such as Haryana, for developing a residential colony, a license is required from the relevant local authority. Where projects are undertaken on lands which form part of the approved layout plans and/or fall within municipal limits of a town, generally the building plans of the projects have to be approved by the concerned municipal or developmental authority. Building plans are required to be approved for each building within the project area. Clearances with respect to other aspects of development such as fire, civil aviation and pollution control are required from appropriate authorities depending on the nature, size and height of the projects. The approvals granted by the authorities generally prescribe a time limit for completion of the projects. These time limits are renewable upon payment of a prescribed fee. The regulations provide for obtaining a completion/occupancy certificate upon completion of the project. Agricultural development laws The acquisition of land is regulated by state land reform laws which prescribe limits up to which an entity may acquire agricultural land. Any transfer of land which results in the aggregate land holdings of the acquirer in the state exceeding this ceiling is void, and the surplus land is deemed, from the date of the transfer, to have been vested in the state government free of all encumbrances. When local authorities declare certain agricultural areas as earmarked for townships, lands are acquired by different entities. After obtaining a conversion certificate from the appropriate authority with respect to a change in the use of the land from agricultural to non-agricultural for development into townships, commercial complexes etc., such ceilings are not applicable. While granting licenses for development of townships, the authorities generally levy development/ external development charges for provision of peripheral services. Such licenses require approvals of layout plans for development and building plans for construction activities. The licenses are transferable on permission of the appropriate authority. Similar to urban development laws, approvals of the layout plans and building plans, if applicable, need to be obtained. REGULATIONS REGARDING FOREIGN INVESTMENT Real estate sector The GoI has permitted FDI of up to 100% under the automatic route in townships, housing, built-up infrastructure and construction-development projects (Real Estate Sector), subject to certain conditions contained in Press Note No. 2 (2005 series) (Press Note 2). A short summary of the conditions is as follows: (a) Minimum area to be developed is ten hectares in case of serviced housing plots and 50,000 square meters in case of construction development projects. Where the development is a combination project, the minimum area can be either ten hectares or 50,000 square meters. 107
(b)
Minimum capitalization of US$10 million for wholly owned subsidiary and US$5 million for a joint venture has been specified and it is required to be brought in within six months of commencement of business of the company. Further, the investment is not permitted to be repatriated before three years from completion of minimum capitalization except with prior approval from FIPB. At least 50% of the project is required to be developed within five years of obtaining all statutory clearances and the responsibility for obtaining it is cast on the foreign investor. Further, the sale of undeveloped plots is prohibited. Compliance with rules, regulations and bye-laws of state government, municipal and local body has been mandated and the investor is given the responsibility for obtaining all necessary approvals.

History of Our Business Our business was founded by the late Mr. Raghvendra Singh and our Promoter, Mr. K.P. Singh. Our business has a history of over six decades, commencing with the incorporation of Raisina Cold Storage and Ice Company Private Limited on March 16, 1946 and Delhi Land and Finance Private Limited on September 18, 1946. Since the inception of our Company, Mr. K.P. Singh has been the promoter of the Company. Pursuant to the order of the Delhi High Court dated October 26, 1970, Delhi Land and Finance Private Limited and Raisina Cold Storage and Ice Company Private Limited along with another group company, DLF Housing and Construction Private Limited, merged with DLF United Private Limited with effect from September 30, 1970. Thereafter, DLF United Limited merged with our Company, then known as American Universal Electric (India) Limited, with effect from October 1, 1978, under a scheme of amalgamation sanctioned by the Delhi High Court and the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The merged entity was renamed as 'DLF Universal Electric Limited' with effect from June 18, 1980. Key events and milestones

History of our Company Our Company was incorporated on July 4, 1963 as American Universal Electric (India) Limited and renamed on June 18, 1980 as DLF Universal Electric Limited. Subsequently, on May 28, 1981, 'DLF Universal Electric Limited' was renamed as DLF Universal Limited. Thereafter, on May 27, 2006, we changed our name from DLF Universal Limited to DLF Limited. Another DLF company, DLF Industries Limited, was amalgamated with our Company pursuant to orders passed by the Delhi High Court on August 8, 2000 and by the Punjab and Haryana High Court on July 28, 2000. The scheme of amalgamation was effective from April 1, 1999. At incorporation, our registered office was situated at Holiday Inn Buildings, Mathura Road, Faridabad, Punjab State, India and shifted on November 1, 1964 to Sector 11, Model Town, Faridabad, Haryana. With effect from October 22, 1992, our registered office was shifted to DLF Qutab Enclave, Phase I, Gurgaon, Haryana 122 022. This area was subsequently renamed as DLF City, Phase I, Gurgaon. Since October 31, 2000, our registered office has been situated at Shopping Mall, 3rd Floor, Arjun Marg, DLF City Phase I, Gurgaon, Haryana 122 002. Our corporate office is situated at DLF Centre, Sansad Marg, New Delhi 110 001. We have 79 direct and indirect subsidiaries, brief particulars of which are set out under "Details of our subsidiaries" below. Delisting and subsequent proposal to relist the shares The equity shares of our Company were originally traded on the BSE and the DSE. We had entered into the listing agreement with the DSE and BSE on September 20, 1976 and May 1, 1975, respectively. We decided to delist our equity shares from the BSE and by a letter dated January 8, 1982, the BSE confirmed that our equity shares had been removed from its official list. 133
When the Takeover Code came in to effect i.e on February 20, 1997, the shareholding of Mr. Rajiv Singh (our promoter) along with other acquirers ("Acquirers") and persons acting in concert ("PAC")* was 89.45%. These entities, inadvertently acquired a further 1.54% of the paid-up capital, between February 20, 1997 and January 23, 2002, which resulted in a violation of Regulation 11(3) of the said regulations. Thereafter, Mr. Rajiv Singh by way of a letter dated January 23, 2002 addressed to SEBI preferred to admit the said violation under the aforesaid regulations and volunteered to pay a penalty of Rs. 500,000. Such penalty was accepted by SEBI subject to certain conditions prescribed in its letter bearing reference no. FITTC/TO/AS/2512/02 dated February 12, 2002. As a strategic decision and based on the options available as per the applicable law, Acquirers and the PACs offered to acquire the outstanding public shareholding instead of increasing the public shareholding and keeping the Company listed, which resulted in delisting of our equity shares from DSE. The Acquirers and PACs made the first and second open offers which opened on June 21, 2002 and September 25, 2002 respectively. Subsequently, a final exit option was offered by the Acquirers and the PACs, in accordance with letter dated March 13, 2003 from DSE (bearing registration no DSE/LIST/3015/R/228), to the remaining 1307 shareholders comprising 3.74% of the then paid-up capital of our Company. The delisting offers were made by the Acquirers and the PACs at the price of Rs. 320 per equity share of face value of Rs. 10 each. Additionally, pursuant to a direction from SEBI (bearing reference no. TO/AS/2415/03) dated January 31, 2003 stating that the level of public shareholding in our Company had fallen below the limit specified in the exchanges listing agreement and consequent to the Acquirers and PACs and certain persons in concert making the public offers, our equity shares were delisted from the DSE with effect from September 22, 2003. We had earlier filed a draft red herring prospectus with SEBI on May 12, 2006 for the issuance of 202,000,000 Equity Shares of Rs. 2 each. Pursuant to filing of the draft red herring prospectus, we had received 135 complaints from various minority shareholders (directly and also through SEBI, the MCA, the Stock Exchanges and the RoC) alleging non-receipt of letter of offer issued by the Company in the month of December 2005, offering 3,508,007 debentures of Rs.100 each. Pursuant to reference by SEBI to the MCA on this issue, the MCA directed the Company to consider each of the complaints on merits and to take steps as warranted to redress their grievances. The draft red herring prospectus filed on May 12, 2006 was later withdrawn by us on August 31, 2006. We decided to withdraw the same due to significant positive developments in our business particularly in respect of additional land acquisition since the filing of the draft red herring prospectus. It was considered appropriate by our Company to modify the draft red herring prospectus. In compliance with the MCAs instructions, the Board of Directors, in their board meeting held on October 10, 2006, revived the earlier lapsed 81,983 debentures of Rs.100 each to allot such debentures with attendent benefits (i.e., conversion of debentures into equity shares bonus shares in the ratio of 7:1 and sub-division into Rs. 2 per Equity Share) to those shareholders who had not received the letter of offer or had not applied earlier. The decision of the Board of Directors was approved by the shareholders in the EGM held on November 14, 2006. Consequently, on November 24, 2006, December 5, 2006, December 22, 2006, March 13, 2007, and and May 18, 2007, an aggregate of 47,757 debentures were allotted with attendent benefits and upon conversion of these debentures and attendent benefits 19,102,800 Equity Shares were issued. The Company refiled the draft red herring prospectus on January 2, 2007 and an updated draft red herring prospectus on March 30, 2007. Details of the complaint received since filing of the re-filing of the draft red herring prospectus on January 2, 2007, the debentures allotted with attendant benefits and other complaints regarding non disclosure etc have been mentioned at page 40.

It has its registered office at Shopping Mall, 3rd Floor, Arjun Marg, DLF City Phase I, Gurgaon, Haryana 122 002. DLF Laing O'Rourke is a joint venture between our Company, Laing O'Rourke Plc and LOR Holdings Limited. The joint venture is governed in accordance with (a) a 'Joint Venture and Subscription cum Shareholders' Agreement' dated February 01, 2006, between our Company, Laing ORourke Plc, LOR Holdings Limited and DLF Laing O'Rourke (the "Laing ORourke JVA"), (b) a 'Name User Agreement' between Laing ORourke Plc and DLF Laing O'Rourke, effective from January 31, 2006, pursuant to which DLF Laing ORourke has been granted a non-exclusive licence to use the name 'Laing O'Rourke' in its corporate name, and (c) a 'Technical and Commercial Agreement' dated February 01, 2006 between our Company, Laing O' Rourke, LOR Holdings Limited and DLF Laing O'Rourke (the "Laing ORourke TCA"). The Laing ORourke TCA and the Laing O'Rourke JVA are described below. The Laing O'Rourke TCA As per the Laing O'Rourke TCA, our Company has agreed to engage DLF Laing O'Rourke for carrying out ground works, structure, finishing, plumbing, fire-fighting, mechanical, electrical, vertical transportation, external developments, landscaping and other specialist activities in relation to the identified DLF projects for a built-up space of approximately 50 million square feet over a term of 5 years for the date of the agreement, with a minimum of 6 million square feet in each calendar year (unless mutually agreed otherwise), and subject to DLF Laing O'Rourke being able to perform its obligations under the projects. Upon the exhaustion of the 50 million square feet, the parties may mutually agree upon future construction plans in relation to DLF projects. In relation to each agreed DLF project for which DLF Laing O'Rourke shall render construction and related services, our Company and DLF Laing O'Rourke will enter into a construction contract with our Company, broadly on the basis of a 'model agreement' annexed to Laing O'Rourke TCA. All such contracts between our company and DLF Laing O'Rourke have been agreed to be on a 'cost plus' basis, taking into account factors such as time schedules and cost estimates to be prepared by our Company, and as may be varied subject to mutual agreement. Further, Laing ORourke has agreed that it shall, in relation to each project involving DLF Laing O' Rourke, issue a corporate guarantee in favor of our Company (or our affiliate, as the case may be) in order to secure DLF Laing O' Rourke's performance under the projects. The corporate guarantee shall be for an amount representing 2.5% of value of the contract under each DLF project. The Laing ORourke JVA Unless terminated in accordance with its terms, the Laing O'Rourke JVA is valid until the shareholding of our Company or Laing O'Rourke (together with the shareholding of any affiliate) falls below 26% of the total paid -up equity share capital of DLF Laing O'Rourke. The principal provisions of the Laing O'Rourke JVA are described below: Non-compete, exclusivity Laing O'Rourke Plc is required to assist DLF Laing O'Rourke in bidding for various construction projects. Wherever bid conditions require Laing O'Rourke Plc to bid directly, it shall do so subject to entering into sub-contracting or assignment arrangements with DLF Laing O'Rourke, in order to ensure that the economic benefits of such projects are captured in DLF Laing O'Rourke. In case the skill sets and capability available with DLF Laing O'Rourke do not justify such sub-contracting or assignment arrangements, Laing O'Rourke Plc is permitted to undertake such projects independently (or together with a third party), subject to the prior consent of DLF Laing O'Rourke's management committee.

Under certain specified circumstances, Hilton will have a right to terminate the exclusivity rights of the joint venture company. New Franchises by Hilton: Subject to certain conditions, Hilton and its affiliates may enter into franchise arrangements with third parties. For this purpose, Hilton and its affiliates may also grant non-exclusive licenses to such franchisees for the usage of all or some of their brands. However, Hilton and its affiliates would not be entitled to undertake such 141
franchise arrangements within certain specified areas (being a specified area around the hotels or serviced apartments that are developed under the joint venture).

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN INDIAN GAAP, IFRS AND U.S. GAAP The Companys financial statements are prepared in conformity with Indian GAAP on an annual consolidated basis. No attempt has been made to reconcile any of the information given in this Prospectus to any other principles or to base it on any other standards. The areas in which differences between Indian GAAP vis--vis IFRS and U.S. GAAP could be significant to the Companys consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of profit and loss are summarised below. Potential investors should not construe the summary to be exhaustive or complete and should consult their own professional advisers for their fuller understanding and impact on the financial statements set out in this Prospectus. Further, the Company has not prepared financial statements in accordance with IFRS or U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the summary is complete, or that the differences described would give rise to the most material differences between Indian GAAP, U.S. GAAP and IFRS. In addition, the Company cannot presently estimate the net effect of applying either IFRS or U.S. GAAP on the results of the Companys operations or financial position, which may result in material adjustments when compared to Indian GAAP. The summary includes various IFRS, U.S. GAAP and Indian GAAP pronouncements issued for which the mandatory application dates are later than the date of this Prospectus. Indian GAAP comprises accounting standards issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and certain provisions of Listing Agreements with the stock exchanges of India. In certain cases, the Indian GAAP description also refers to Guidance Notes issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India that are recommendatory but not mandatory in nature and also certain accounting treatments specified by a Court Order in a Scheme of Amalgamation/Arrangement.

Based on several criteria, which require the recognition of revenue when risks and rewards have been transferred and the revenue can be measured reliably.
Revenue is generally realised or realisable and earned (FAS Concept 5) when all of the four revenue recognition criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; the sellers price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and collectibility is reasonably assured.
Similar to IFRS. However, under IFRS and U.S. GAAP, the revenue from auction sale would be segregated between recovery of outstanding ground rent and costs; and former classified as ground rent and excess recovery after adjusting recoverable costs as other income.

Real Estate Sales
IFRS
Guided by recognition principles of IAS 18. Normally recognized when legal title passes to the buyer. However, if the equitable interest in a property vests in the buyer before legal title passes and therefore the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred at that stage it may be appropriate to recognise revenue. However, if the seller is obliged to perform any significant acts after the transfer of the equitable and/or legal title, revenue is recognized as the acts are performed. An example is a building or other facility on which construction has not been completed.
U.S. GAAP
Governed by FAS 66 and interpreted by some rules of the Emerging Issues Task Force. FAS 66 applies to all sales of real estate, including real estate with property improvements or integral equipment (it does not apply to sale of only property improvements or integral equipment without a concurrent or contemplated sale of land). In case of real land sales, FAS 66 provides recognition principles based on full accrual method, percentage of completion method, instalment method, or deposit method based on fulfilment of certain criteria.
Indian GAAP
The ICAI recently issued a Guidance Note on recognition of revenue for Real Estate Developers. This Guidance note recommends principles for recognition revenue arising from real estate sales and provides guidance on the application of principles for revenue recognition as enumerated in AS 9, i.e. transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership, consideration is fixed or determinable and it is not unreasonable to expect ultimate collection. Per this note, once the seller has transferred all the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer and the other conditions for recognition of revenue specified in AS 9 are satisfied, any further acts on the real estate performed by the seller are, in substance, performed on behalf of the buyer in the manner similar to a contractor. Accordingly, in such cases revenue is recognized recognised by applying the percentage of completion method in the manner explained in AS 7.

IAS 11 allows a contractor to recognise incentive payments as contract revenue when . . . it is probable that they will result in revenue . . ..

Under SOP 81-1, a contractor Similar to IFRS must evaluate special contract provisions, such as incentive revenue, throughout the life of a contract in estimating total contract revenue to determine when to recognise earned revenues under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. To the extent that application of the IASCs probable criterion differs from the application of earned, it may be possible for contractors to recognise revenue under IASC standards in an earlier period than when the revenue would be recognized under U.S. GAAP. A contractor can recognise claim revenue only when it is probable that the customer will accept the claim and the contractor can reliably measure the amount of the probable claim. In addition SOP 81-1 specifies four additional conditions to be specified before recognising claim revenue. Similar to IFRS
A contractor can recognise claim revenue only when it is probable that the customer will accept the claim and the contractor can reliably measure the amount of the probable claim.
Under U.S. GAAP the amount recorded as claim revenue is limited to the extent that contract costs relating to the claim have been incurred. IAS 11 provides no such limitation and therefore may not preclude the contractor from recording claim revenue on costs not incurred at the billing date. U.S. GAAP also allows contractors to delay recording claim revenue until the amount is received or awarded. IAS 11 does not permit such an alternative treatment.

Under IAS 11, a contractor can recognise revenue from a change order when it is probable that the customer will approve the change order and the amount of revenue can be reliably measured. As mentioned above, IAS 11 does not define probable. As a result, contractors may not consistently apply the guidance in paragraph 13 of IAS 11, and there may be differences in the recognition of change-order revenue between entities applying U.S. GAAP and those applying IASC standards. IAS 11 indicates that a contractor must calculate earned revenues and the cost of earned revenues based on the stage-of-completion percentage.
Under SOP 81-1, a contractor can recognise variations in contract revenue from a change order only when the customer actually approves both the scope and the price of the change order.

A lease is a finance lease if substantially all risks and rewards of ownership are transferred. Substance rather than form is important. Record amounts due under finance leases as a receivable. Allocate gross earnings to give constant rate of return based on (pre-tax) net investment method. Record finance leases as asset and obligation for future rentals. Depreciate over useful life of asset. Apportion rental payments to give constant interest rate on outstanding obligation. Charge operating lease rentals on straight-line basis. For a finance lease, defer and amortise profit arising on sale and finance leaseback. If an operating lease arises, profit recognition depends on sale proceeds compared to fair value of the asset.

A variety of costs are incurred in the acquisition, development, leasing, sale, or operation of a real estate development project. SFAS No. 67, Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects (Accounting Standards Section Re2), provides guidance on when costs should be capitalised, deferred, or expensed. After a determination is made to capitalise a cost, it is allocated to the specific parcels or components of a project that are benefited. Guidance for situations where specific identification is not practicable is provided by SFAS No. 67. Property taxes and insurance costs incurred on real estate projects should be capitalised only during the period in which activities necessary to get the property ready for its intended use are in progress. Such costs incurred after the property is substantially complete and held available for occupancy should be charged to expense as incurred. Paragraph 22 of SFAS No. 67 states that a real estate project shall be considered substantially completed and held available for occupancy upon completion of tenant improvements by the developer,

Incremental revenue from incidental operations in excess of related incremental costs should be accounted for as a reduction of capitalised project costs. Incremental costs in excess of incremental revenue from incidental operations should be charged to expense as incurred, because the incidental operations did not increase the costs of developing the property for its intended use.

If specific identification is not practicable, capitalised costs shall be allocated as follows: (a) land cost and all other common costs (prior to construction) shall be allocated to each land parcel benefited. Allocation shall be based on the relative fair value before construction; and (b) construction costs shall be allocated to individual units in the phase on the basis of relative sales value of each unit. If allocation based on relative value also is impracticable, capitalised costs shall be allocated based on area methods (for example, square footage) or other value methods as appropriate under the circumstances.
Indian GAAP
Costs incurred to sell real estate projects shall be capitalised if they (a) are reasonably expected to be recovered from the sale of the project or from incidental operations and (b) are incurred for (1) tangible assets that are used directly throughout the selling period to aid in the sale of the project or (2) services that have been performed to obtain regulatory approval of sales. Examples of costs incurred to sell real estate projects that ordinarily meet the criteria for capitalisation are costs of model units and their furnishings, sales facilities, legal fees for preparation of prospectuses, and semi permanent signs. Other costs incurred to sell real estate projects shall be capitalised as prepaid costs if they are directly associated with

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our restated consolidated financial statement as of and for the years ended March 31, 2007, 2006, 2005 and 2004, including the schedules and notes thereto and the reports thereon, which appear elsewhere in this Red Herring Prospectus. These financial statements are based on Indian GAAP which differs in certain significant respects from US GAAP and IFRS. For more information on these differences, see Summary of Significant Differences between Indian GAAP, US GAAP and IFRS on page 356. OVERVIEW We are the largest real estate development company in India in terms of the area of our completed residential and commercial developments (Source: ACNielsen Report) and our primary business is the development of residential, commercial and retail properties. Our operations span all aspects of real estate development, from the identification and acquisition of land, to the planning, execution and marketing of our projects, through to the maintenance and management of our completed developments. In our residential business line, we build and sell a wide range of properties including houses, duplexes and apartments of varying sizes, with a focus on the higher end of the market. In our commercial business line, we build and sell or lease commercial office space, with a focus on properties attractive to large multinational tenants. Our retail business line develops, manages and mainly leases shopping malls, which in many cases include multiplex cinemas. We are also expanding our business by entering into the infrastructure, SEZ and hotel businesses. Although we have historically centered our operations in the NCR, we continue to diversify our portfolio with a number of real estate development projects across the country. As of March 31, 2007, we had under construction residential projects with a saleable area of over 7 million square feet, commercial projects with a lettable or saleable area of approximately 27 million square feet and retail projects with a lettable or saleable area of approximately 10 million square feet. The real estate development industry in India has exhibited an increase in demand in the past few years. Rising disposable incomes in the middle and higher income groups have resulted in an increase in demand for improved residential housing, as well as higher quality retail space. The growth in the Indian economy and specifically the success of the Indian IT sector has led to increased demand for high quality commercial space. As a result, our business has expanded and our total consolidated income increased to Rs. 4,034.1 crore in fiscal 2007 from Rs. 497.7 crore in fiscal 2002. During the same period, our consolidated net profit increased to Rs. 1,941.3 crore from Rs. 61.4 crore. The substantial increase in our income and profit in fiscal 2007 was due to the sale of certain commercial properties to DAL, which is a Promoter group company. COMPONENTS OF OUR INCOME AND EXPENDITURE Our results of operations depend on various factors, including the following: the condition and performance of the property market; general economic and demographic conditions; regulations affecting the real estate industry; our ability to acquire suitable lands at reasonable costs; our ability to identify suitable projects and execute them in a timely and cost effective manner; the availability of financing on favourable terms for our business and for our customers; and competition.
385
Income Historically, the principal component of our income has been revenue from the sale of residential properties. Other components of income include sales of certain retail and commercial properties, rental income from commercial and retail properties and maintenance income from our property management services. In addition, we derive a small amount of income from the power generation and supply operations of our subsidiary, DLF Power. Our income from the sale of constructed properties is recognized using the percentage of completion method. Under this method, income in respect of a project is recognized based on the project cost, including the cost of land, actually incurred as a proportion of total estimated project cost and the proportion of the estimated saleable area in the project in respect of which bookings have been made. However, if the actual project cost incurred is less than 30% of the total estimated project cost, no income is recognized in respect of that project in the relevant period. Estimates of saleable area and the related income as well as project costs are reviewed periodically. The effect of any changes to estimates is recognized in the financial statements for the period in which such changes are determined. The percentage of completion method requires us to identify which development, or which component in a particular development, is to be treated as a separate project. This provides us with considerable flexibility as to how we are going to treat a particular development and divide it into individual projects. Once we have defined a project, we generally will not change the definition. We estimate the saleable area of a project and the income from it based on, among other things, the size, specifications and location, of the project. We typically enter into contracts with our customers while the project is still under development. Each project is treated as having a notional completion time of two and a half years and customers wishing to buy a property in it are required to make an upfront payment at the time of booking, all or part of which may be nonrefundable, and pay the remaining purchase price in instalments over the period between the date of booking and the date on which the property is to be transferred. Accordingly, bookings of saleable area, rather than actual amounts received, determine revenue recognition under the percentage of completion method. We estimate the total cost of a project, based on similar considerations, prior to its commencement. Our project planning and execution teams have extensive experience with prior projects, which enables them to estimate and monitor project costs. Our project execution teams re-evaluate project costs periodically, particularly when in their opinion there have been significant changes in market conditions, costs of labour and materials and other contingencies. Material reevaluations will affect our income in the relevant fiscal periods. Sale consideration from the sale of plots (i.e., lands on which we have not performed any construction) is recognized as income once the sale agreements for the land are executed, whether or not consideration has been fully paid. The major source of our future sales revenue is our current and planned projects, which are described in Our Business on page 66. Rental income from our commercial and retail real estate developments is recognized on an accrual basis in accordance with the terms of the relevant leases. We determine rent based on various factors such as the location and construction quality of the properties, the area occupied by and the facilities offered to tenants and general market conditions. We derive maintenance income from our property management services, which are principally provided by our subsidiary, DLF Services. Maintenance income is recognized on an accrual basis. Maintenance charges are determined based on the actual expenditure incurred by us in providing the services, plus a mark-up of 20%. We estimate maintenance charges in advance of a rental period based on actual costs incurred in the prior rental period. We adjust these charges periodically to account for actual costs. As part of the growth and diversification of our business, we intend to generate new sources of revenue from businesses such as SEZ, hotel and infrastructure development, including through the DLF Laing ORourke joint venture. We derive a relatively small amount of revenue from our multiplex cinema business, from our leisure businesses such as private clubs, golf courses, from facilities maintenance and management services and from the provision of cable television services, all of which we are currently in the process of expanding. 386
Additional sources of income include the revenues of DLF Power from its power generation and supply operations. These revenues have been adversely affected in recent periods by the inability of DLF Powers customers to fully pay their dues. We also earn income from financial investments and interest from bank deposits and loans made to third parties. Expenditure The principal components of our expenditure are cost of revenue, establishment expenses, finance charges, depreciation and other expenses. Our costs of revenue consist mainly of land acquisition costs and development and construction costs. Cost of revenue comprises cost of land and plots and cost of construction and development, in each case attributable to the properties in respect of which we have recognized revenue. The treatment of costs of land and plots and costs of construction and development as they are incurred and prior to their recognition depends upon whether the land is to be utilized in a project which is to be sold or whether it is to be utilized in a project which will result in a property to be leased. Where the land falls into the first category, tits cost and any subsequent related construction and development costs are treated as an increase in our stocks. Where the land falls into the second category, its cost is treated as an increase in our stocks, but as construction and development on that land proceeds, the cost of that land and the construction and development costs are treated as an increase in our capital work in progress. Accordingly, as we recognize sales revenue, we reduce our stocks and recognize the resulting costs of revenue and on completion of a project to be leased we reduce the related capital work in progress and correspondingly increase the value of our buildings. If a project that was originally intended to be leased is sold, the profits from the sale are recognized as other income, after reducing fixed assets. In stocks, we include the cost of land to which we own sole development rights. In respect of lands to which we own sole development rights, we have all the benefits and rights in respect of the developments on such land, i.e., we have the exclusive right to develop it as well as control its use and disposition and should we develop plots on the whole or part of such land, we have the absolute right to sell the land to prospective purchasers on such terms and conditions as may be deemed fit and proper by us. Further, we are entitled to all the revenue from the development, including rent, net, in the case of a large number of our sole development agreements of a payment of Rs. 5 lac per acre to the grantor of the rights. Establishment expenses comprise salaries and wages, allowances and other employee costs. Finance charges consist principally of interest paid on loans. In connection with the expansion of our business and proposed land acquisitions, we expect that we will incur significant amounts of indebtedness, which may result in an increase in our finance charges. As of March 31, 2007, our outstanding loans were Rs. 9,932.8 crore. We expect to reduce our loans using a portion of the proceeds from the Issue. Other expenses include commission and brokerage, rental costs, provisions for doubtful debts and various categories of selling, general and administrative expenses. Depreciation includes the depreciation on our leased properties, among others. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Note Regarding Presentation The financial information for fiscal 2007 presented herein is based on an audit conducted by our reporting accountants for the purpose of preparing restated financial statements for fiscal 2007 in compliance with the SEBI Guidelines. The statutory audit for the fiscal year required under the Companies Act is in progress and is expected to be completed in the near future. The additional procedures required for the statutory audit include an entity-wise evaluation of internal controls and compliance with prescribed standards and the preparation of certain additional disclosures. We do not expect the completion of the statutory audit to result in material changes to the consolidated financial information presented herein. The following table sets forth, for fiscal 2007, 2006, 2005 and 2004, certain items derived from our consolidated financial statements, in each case stated in absolute terms and as a percentage of total income:

COMPARISON OF FISCAL 2007 TO FISCAL 2006 Income Our total income increased by 225% to Rs. 4,034.1 crore in fiscal 2007 from Rs. 1,242 crore in fiscal 2006. This was primarily due to the 144% increase in sales revenue during this period to Rs. 2,240.6 crore from Rs. 920.0 crore. Part of this increase in sales revenue was due to the commencement and progress of construction of various major residential, 388
retail and commercial projects in respect of which we have received significant early bookings as well as by increases in unit prices. We recognized income from bookings as well as the progress of construction in relation to residential projects, including Trinity Towers, DLF Exclusive Floors, Westend Heights, the Aralias, Royalton Tower, the Pinnacle, the Icon, the Summit, and the Magnolias as well as Belaire (which was launched in August 2006 and received substantial early bookings), retail projects including Grand Mall and South Point in Gurgaon and the commercial and retail complex at Jasola in Delhi. The main reason for the increase in sales revenue was the sale by us of certain commercial properties to DAL. The total consideration for these sales was Rs. 2,401.5 crore. Of this amount, we recognized two sales (by DLF Info City Developers (Chennai) Limited and DLF Commercial Developers Limited, subsidiaries of the Company) aggregating Rs. 880.5 crore as sales revenue in accordance with Accounting Standard 9, Revenue Recognition. In respect of the remaining consideration of Rs. 1,521 crore, Rs. 1,055 crore was recognized under other income after deducting the associated costs. Of this amount, the proceeds of Rs. 442 crore from the sale of two properties by DLF Cyber City Developers Limited were treated as profit on disposal of fixed assets in accordance with Accounting Standard 10, Accounting for fixed assets and after adjusting for expenses relating thereto. Proceeds of Rs. 613 crore from the sale of shares of two companies by DLF Commercial Developers Limited were treated as profit on disposal of current investments in accordance with Accounting Standard 13, Accounting for Investments and after adjusting for expenses relating thereto. As of March 31, 2007, DAL owed us Rs. 2,350.9 crore in respect of the above sales. Of these Rs. 2,350.9 crore, as of the date of this Red Herring Prospectus, DAL has paid us approximately Rs. 1,500 crore. We understand that DAL is making arrangements to raise financing for the remaining amount. Our rent and licence fee income increased by 266% to Rs. 154.6 crore in fiscal 2007 from Rs. 42.2 crore in fiscal 2006, primarily reflecting the leasing of commercial and retail properties, including commercial properties contained in a company in which we increased our equity interest which contributed Rs. 112.7 crore to our rental income for the period. Our rental income for the period included the rental income of Rs. 39.5 crore from two commercial properties before they were sold to DAL. Our maintenance income increased by 68% to Rs. 81.0 crore in fiscal 2007 from Rs. 48.1 crore in fiscal 2006, reflecting maintenance services provided for additional projects. Our recreational income increased by 49% to Rs. 26.2 crore in fiscal 2007 from Rs. 17.6 crore in fiscal 2006, reflecting increased income derived from increased membership and fees at our golf club. While our income from power supply remained relative stable in fiscal 2007, as a percentage of our total income it fell from 9% to 2% reflecting the overall increase in our sales revenue and other income. Our interest income in fiscal 2007 was Rs. 92.2 crore compared to Rs. 55.3 crore in fiscal 2006 primarily due to the Rs. 65.9 crore we derived in interest from our interest bearing loans and advances provided primarily for land acquisition. Expenditure Our total expenditure increased by 68.2% to Rs. 1,484.6 crore in fiscal 2007 from Rs. 882.5 crore in fiscal 2006, reflecting a 35% increase in cost of revenue to Rs. 709.0 crore from Rs. 524.3 crore and a 133% increase in establishment costs to Rs. 92.2 crore from Rs. 39.7 crore. The increase in cost of revenue reflected the higher sales revenues we recognized during the period, although as a percentage of total income, it decreased as a reflection of higher sale prices of our properties in the period as compared to prior periods and also because revenues recognized from some of the sales to DAL were in the form of profits generated from such sales, and therefore did not require the separate recognition of costs relating to such properties. Finance charges increased by 83% to Rs. 307.6 crore in fiscal 2007 from Rs. 168.5 crore in fiscal 2006, reflecting interest and fees paid of Rs. 230.0 crore in connection with our increased borrowings. Other expenses increased by 180% to Rs. 318.7 crore in fiscal 2007 from Rs. 113.9 crore in fiscal 2006. This increase in other expenses primarily reflected increased commission and brokerage fees of Rs. 78.6 crore in fiscal 2007 from Rs. 25.1 crore in fiscal 2006, legal and 389
professional fees of Rs. 79.3 crore in fiscal 2007 from Rs. 11.9 crore in fiscal 2006 and advertisement and publicity expenses of Rs. 34.6 crore in fiscal 2007 from Rs. 7.0 crore in fiscal 2006. Profit before tax Our profit before tax and minority interest was Rs. 2,549.5 crore in fiscal 2007 as compared to Rs. 359.5 crore in fiscal 2006, reflecting increases in sale price, increases in rental rates on newly leased properties, an increase in the number of residential properties sold and the sale of certain of our commercial properties which we previously leased. Provision for tax and net profit Our provision for tax increased to Rs. 605.8 crore in fiscal 2007 from Rs. 166.8 crore in fiscal 2006 primarily reflecting the substantial increase in our current tax liability to Rs. 878.8 crore from Rs. 322.9 crore. The increase in our current tax liability was a reflection of the increase in our profit in fiscal 2007. As a result, our net profit increased to Rs. 1,941.3 crore in fiscal 2007 from Rs. 191.7 crore in fiscal 2006. COMPARISON OF FISCAL 2006 TO FISCAL 2005 Income Our total income increased by 98% to Rs. 1,242 crore in fiscal 2006 from Rs. 626 crore in fiscal 2005. This was primarily due to the 125% increase in sales revenue to Rs. 920 crore from Rs. 408.7 crore. The increase was driven by the commencement and progress of construction of various major residential, retail and commercial projects in respect of which we have received significant early bookings and increases in unit prices. The residential projects include the Trinity Towers, DLF Exclusive Floors, Westend Heights and the Aralias projects in Gurgaon, the retail projects include Grand Mall and DLF South Point in Gurgaon and the commercial projects include the commercial and retail complex at Jasola in Delhi. Our rent and licence fee income increased by 13% to Rs. 42.2 crore in fiscal 2006 from Rs. 37.5 crore in fiscal 2005, as additional commercial and retail properties were let, although it fell as a percentage of our total income from 6% to 3%. Maintenance income increased by 57% to Rs. 48.1 crore in fiscal 2006 from Rs. 30.6 crore in fiscal 2005, primarily as a result of increased maintenance income from tenants of DLF Cyber City, although as a percentage of our total income, it fell from 5% to 4%. Although our income from power supply remained relatively stable in fiscal 2006, as a percentage of our total income it fell from 17% to 9%, reflecting the overall increase in our sales revenue. Other income increased to Rs. 72.1 crore in fiscal 2006 from Rs. 17.9 crore in fiscal 2005. The increase in other income was primarily due to the increase in interest income from debentures of land acquisition companies to Rs. 55.3 crore in fiscal 2006 from Rs. 7.6 crore in fiscal 2005. Expenditure Our total expenditure increased by 72% to Rs. 882.5 crore in fiscal 2006 from Rs. 512.2 crore in fiscal 2005. This was primarily due to the increase in sales revenue resulting in corresponding recognition of cost of revenue which rose to Rs. 524.3 crore in fiscal 2006 from Rs. 316.5 crore in fiscal 2005. Finance charges increased by 332% to Rs. 168.5 crore in fiscal 2006 from Rs. 39 crore in fiscal 2005, primarily reflecting a substantial increase in our borrowings and the interest and fees paid in connection with those borrowings. For details, see Liquidity and Capital Resources. Although our other expenses increased by 45% to Rs. 113.9 crore in fiscal 2006 from Rs. 78.7 crore in fiscal 2005, they declined as a percentage of our total income, reflecting the substantial increase in sales revenue. Nevertheless, there were some major changes within this category of expenditure in the year, primarily the 35% increase in commissions and brokerage fees to Rs. 25.1 crore from Rs. 18.6 crore, reflecting the substantial bookings of our new developments, and the increase in provisions for doubtful debts and advances because of unpaid dues to DLF Power. 390
Profit before tax Our profit before tax and minority interest increased by 216% to Rs. 359.5 crore in fiscal 2006 from Rs. 113.8 crore in fiscal 2005, reflecting the fact that during the year, our income increased by Rs. 616 crore, but our expenditure only increased by Rs. 370.3 crore, primarily due to an increase in sales of properties with higher margins. Provision for tax and net profit Our provision for tax was Rs 166.8 crore in fiscal 2006 and was Rs. 25.9 crore in fiscal 2005. The primary components in this increase were a substantial increase in our current tax liability to Rs. 322.9 crore from Rs. 85.1 crore. This reflected the increase in our profit for the year. As a result, our net profit increased by 122% to Rs. 191.7 crore in fiscal 2006 from Rs. 86.5 crore in fiscal 2005. COMPARISON OF FISCAL 2005 TO FISCAL 2004 Income Our total income increased by 19% to Rs. 626 crore in fiscal 2005 from Rs. 526.6 crore in fiscal 2004. This was primarily due to the 30% increase in sales revenue to Rs. 408.7 crore from Rs. 313.4 crore. The increase was driven by the commencement and progress of construction of various major residential, retail and commercial projects in respect of which we received significant early bookings and as a result recognized revenue. The residential projects included The Aralias, Belvedere Park and Westend Heights in Gurgaon, the retail projects included Grand Mall and Mega Mall in Gurgaon and the commercial projects comprised an office building in Gurgaon. Our results in fiscal 2004 were significantly different from our results in fiscal 2003, since in fiscal 2004 our sales revenue fell by 19%, compared to fiscal 2003, primarily as a result of the low cost of the land on which our previous projects had been built resulting in a delay in our reaching the cost threshold required to recognize sales revenue under the percentage of completion method. Our rent and licence fee income increased to Rs. 37.5 crore in fiscal 2005 from Rs. 34 crore in fiscal 2004. Maintenance income increased by 46% to Rs. 30.6 crore in fiscal 2005 from Rs. 20.9 crore in fiscal 2004, primarily as a result of increased maintenance income from DLF Cyber City. Our income from power supply remained relatively stable at Rs. 103.5 crore in fiscal 2005 as compared to Rs. 114.9 crore in fiscal 2004, although as a percentage of our total income it fell from 22% to 17%, reflecting the increase in our sales revenue. During fiscal 2005 our income from investments was nil. Interest income decreased marginally to Rs. 7.6 crore in fiscal 2005 from Rs. 8.4 crore in fiscal 2004. Expenditure Our total expenditure increased by 15% to Rs. 512.2 crore in fiscal 2005 from Rs. 446.4 crore in fiscal 2004. This was primarily due to the increase in sales revenue resulting in corresponding recognition of cost of revenue which rose to Rs. 316.5 crore in fiscal 2005 from Rs. 268.5 crore in fiscal 2004. Finance charges increased marginally to Rs. 39 crore in fiscal 2005 from Rs. 33 crore in fiscal 2004. The increase was primarily attributable to our increased borrowings and the interest and fees paid in connection with those. For details, see Liquidity and Capital Resources. Our other expenses decreased by 7% to Rs. 78.7 crore in fiscal 2005 from Rs. 84.8 crore in fiscal 2004, although they declined even more as a percentage of our total income, reflecting the substantial increase in our sales revenue.
391
Profit before tax Our profit before tax and minority interests increased by 42% to Rs. 113.8 crore in fiscal 2005 from Rs. 80.2 crore in fiscal 2004, reflecting increased sales revenue. Provision for tax and net profit Our provision for tax remained relative stable at Rs. 25.9 crore in fiscal 2005 from Rs. 25 crore in fiscal 2004. The primary component of the slight decrease was the net effect of a slight decrease in our deferred tax liabilities to Rs. 96.2 crore from Rs. 119.5 crore and increase in our current tax liabilities Rs. 85.1 crore from Rs. 37.4 crore. As a result, our net profit increased by 61% to Rs. 86.5 crore in fiscal 2005 from Rs. 53.8 crore in fiscal 2004. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Historically, our primary liquidity requirements have been to fund our purchases of land and the costs of construction and development. We have funded these primarily through borrowings and, to a lesser extent, internal accruals. In connection with our growth strategy, we are embarking on an ambitious land acquisition and project development plan, which we expect will continue to account for a substantial proportion of our cash outflow. As of March 31, 2007, we had capital expenditure commitments (net of advances) of Rs. 654.4 crore. As of April 30, 2007 we had outstanding Rs. 4,935.6 crore towards payment for the acquisition of Land Reserves and Rs. 1,054.0 crore for the acquisition of 554 acres of land for which development plans are at a preliminary stage. As of March 31, 2007, our cash and bank balances were Rs. 415.5 crore, loan commitments not utilized amounted to approximately Rs. 1,036.6 crore and debtors aggregated Rs. 1,519.5 crore. Of this amount, Rs. 855.9 crore represented amounts due from DAL for some of the commercial sales discussed above. The remainder owed to us by DAL for the commercial sales of shares/buildings has been recorded as loans and advances and aggregated Rs. 1,495.0 crore. In addition, we also had future receivables of Rs. 2,294.3 crore against sales made or booked by us in advance. Our growth plans will require us to incur substantial additional expenditure in the current and future fiscal years across both our existing and new business lines. Our expansion plans and planned expenditure are subject to change based on, and our ability to raise and service the required financing depends on, various factors such as interest rates, property prices and market conditions. We expect that our land acquisitions as well as the construction and development costs for our projects will be funded through cash flows and borrowings, as well as through the proceeds of this Issue as described in Objects of the Issue on page 44. We also expect our cash flows to benefit from the receipt of amounts owing to us from DAL, as discussed above. Cash flows As of March 31, 2007, 2006, 2005 and 2004, we had cash and cash equivalents of Rs. 255.0 crore, Rs. 110.6 crore, Rs. 19.8 crore and Rs. 19.1 crore, respectively. The following table presents selected cash flow data from our consolidated cash flow statements for fiscal 2007, 2006, 2005 and 2004:
Net cash from (used in) operating activities Net cash from (used in) investing activities Net cash from (used in) financing activities
Cash flows from (used in) operating activities Our cash flow used in operating activities of Rs. 5,831.1 crore in fiscal 2007 consisted primarily of net profit before tax and minority interest of Rs. 2,549.5 crore adjusted downwards by Rs. 1,021.0 crore, mainly reflecting profit on sales of 392
certain fixed assets and shares of subsidiaries to DAL, which have been deducted from operating cash flow and are recorded as cash flow from investing activities, further adjusted for various non-cash items and various items of income not arising from operating activities, in particular interest paid of Rs. 307.6 crore reflecting our increased borrowings, and for movements in working capital. Working capital movements included an increase in sundry debtors of Rs. 848.0 crore, an increase in loans and advances of Rs. 3,674.8 crore, an increase in inventories of Rs. 4,059.6 crore and an increase in current liabilities and provisions of Rs. 1,830.6 crore. The significant increase in sundry debtors included amounts owed to us of Rs. 855.9 crore from the sale of our commercial properties to DAL, and the rest represented instalments that are overdue or not yet due from purchasers of our properties in respect of which we recognized sales revenue. The increase in loans and advances mainly represented advances paid for lands being acquired, Rs. 1,495.0 crore in receivables relating to the sale of fixed assets and shares of subsidiaries to DAL, as well as advance taxes in respect of assessments in progress. The increase in stocks reflected our acquisitions of land and costs of construction and development. Direct taxes paid increased substantially to Rs. 607.8 crore due to our profits in fiscal 2007. Our cash flow used in operating activities of Rs. 949.3 crore in fiscal 2006 consisted of net profit before tax and minority interest of Rs. 359.5 crore, adjusted for various non-cash items and various items of income not arising from operating activities, in particular interest paid of Rs. 168.5 crore and for movements in working capital.

Correspondingly, the increase in current liabilities and provisions primarily reflected cash received from purchasers of our properties in respect of which we had not recognized sales revenue. The increase in loans and advances mainly represented advances paid for land acquisition, reflecting our increased level of acquisition activity, as well as advance taxes in respect of assessments in progress. The increase in stocks reflected our acquisitions of land and costs of construction and development. Our cash flow from operating activities of Rs. 575.4 crore in fiscal 2005 consisted of net profit before tax and minority interest of Rs. 113.8 crore, adjusted for various non-cash items and various items of income not arising from operating activities and for movements in working capital. Working capital movements included a decrease in sundry debtors of Rs. 615.5 crore, a marginal increase in loans and advances of Rs. 11.9 crore, a decrease in stocks of Rs. 143.9 crore and a decrease in current liabilities and provisions of Rs. 305.9 crore. The decrease in sundry debtors represented cash received from purchasers of our properties in respect of which we recognized sales revenue. Correspondingly, the decrease in current liabilities and provisions primarily reflected cash received in prior periods from purchasers of our properties in respect of which we recognized sales revenue in fiscal 2005. The increase in loans and advances mainly represented advances paid for land acquisition. The decrease in stocks reflected our recognition of costs of revenue corresponding to the sales revenue recognized in the period. The principal factors affecting our cash flow used in operating activities in fiscal 2004 were the Rs. 667.8 crore increase in sundry debtors and the Rs. 351.1 crore increase in loans and advances, and a corresponding increase in current liabilities and provisions of Rs. 720.2 crore. These reflected the fact that substantial bookings made in prior periods were not recognized as revenue until fiscal 2004 as a result of the low cost of the land on which the relevant projects had been built, resulting in a delay in our reaching the cost threshold required to allow those bookings to be recognized as sales revenue. Cash flows from (used in) investing activities Our cash flow used in investing activities of Rs.483.4 crore in fiscal 2007 consisted primarily of purchases of fixed assets and movements in capital work in progress of Rs. 2,600.3 crore, purchases of investments of Rs. 311.2 crore. These were partly offset by the sale of fixed assets of Rs. 712.5 crore and the sale of investments of Rs. 1,636.8 crore. The changes in purchases of fixed assets and movements in capital work in progress primarily reflected increases in capital work in progress as a result of purchases of land and the construction and development of our projects. The purchases of investments represented payments to increase our equity interest in certain subsidiaries and the sale of fixed assets represented sales of certain commercial properties to DAL. The sale of investments represented the sale of shares of certain subsidiaries to DAL and the redemption of debentures of land owning companies. Our cash flow used in investing activities of Rs. 2,011.9 crore in fiscal 2006 consisted primarily of purchases of fixed assets and movements in capital work in progress of Rs. 546.1 crore, purchases of investments of Rs. 800.5 crore and the 393
acquisition of shares in land-owning companies amounting to Rs. 758.1 crore. The changes in purchases of fixed assets and movements in capital work in progress primarily reflected increases in capital work in progress as a result of purchases of land and the construction and development of projects. The purchases of investments represented the purchase of debentures of land-acquiring companies. Cash flow used for purchase of shares in land-owning companies represents the cash element of the acquisition cost. Our cash flow used in investing activities of Rs. 768.1 crore in fiscal 2005 consisted primarily of purchases of fixed assets and movements in capital work in progress of Rs. 832.9 crore. The changes in purchases of fixed assets and movements in capital work in progress primarily reflected increases in capital work in progress as a result of purchases of land and the construction and development of projects. Cash flows from (used in) financing activities Our cash flow from or used in our financing activities is determined primarily by the level of our borrowings, the schedule of principal and interest payments on them and the issuance of share capital. Our cash flow from financing activities of Rs. 6,458.9 crore in fiscal 2007 consisted primarily of proceeds from long term borrowings of Rs. 7,251.7 crore and the issuance of preference shares by certain of our subsidiaries aggregating Rs. 949.8 crore, which was offset in part by the repayment of long term borrowings of Rs. 2,408.6 crore. The net increase in our short term borrowings was Rs. 957.6 crore. Interest and finance charges accounted for Rs. 289.8 crore of cash outflow. Our cash flow from financing activities of Rs. 3,052 crore in fiscal 2006 consisted primarily of proceeds from long term borrowings of Rs. 3,510.5 crore and a net increase in short term borrowings of Rs. 200.9 crore, against which cash flow was used in repayment of Rs. 543.7 crore in long term borrowings and Rs. 148.4 crore in interest and finance charges.

Our cash flow from financing activities of Rs. 292 crore in fiscal 2004 consisted primarily of net long term borrowings of Rs. 135 crore and net short term borrowings amounting to Rs. 216.7 crore, against which cash flow was used in payment of Rs. 58.3 crore in interest and finance charges. Financial Condition Based on our restated consolidated financial statements, our net worth increased by 316% to Rs. 3,976.4 crore as of March 31, 2007 from Rs. 955.5 crore as of March 31, 2006, primarily reflecting our increase in net profit to Rs. 1,941.3 crore from Rs. 191.7 crore and the increase in our share capital. Our issued and subscribed share capital as of March 31, 2007 was Rs. 1,255.7 crore (comprising Equity Shares of Rs. 305.9 crore and preference share capital in certain subsidiaries of Rs. 949.8 crore) as compared to Rs. 37.8 crore of Equity Shares as of March 31, 2006. In May 2006, we issued bonus shares to our shareholders in the ratio of 7:1, which resulted in an increase in our share capital and a corresponding decrease in our reserves, of Rs. 264.4 crore. In November 2006, December 2006 and March 2007, we issued convertible debentures to certain minority shareholders, which were converted and were subject to a bonus share issue in the ratio of 7:1. The May, November, December and May transactions resulted in an increase in our equity share capital of Rs. 268.1 crore. Further, our subsidiary companies, namely Galaxy Mercantiles Ltd, Shivaji Marg Properties Limited and Carmen Builders & Constructions Private Limited issued preference shares of Rs. 949.8 crore during fiscal 2007. On May 18, 2007, additional debentures were issued to minority shareholders, which were converted into equity shares and bonus shares were issued in the ratio of 7:1, which resulted in a further increase in our Equity Share capital by Rs. 0.1 crore.

The increase in our stocks (to Rs. 5,700.6 crore from Rs. 1,640.9 crore) reflected our increased Land Reserves resulting mainly from the sole development rights acquired from land owning companies, and construction work in progress (Rs. 2,649.7 crore as of March 31, 2007). This included the ongoing construction of residential developments such as Summit, Icon, Pinnacle Estate, Royalton Estate, Western Heights, Aralias as well as retail and commercial projects such as DLF Tower in Jasola, South Court and DLF Galleria. The decrease in our investments (to Rs. 210.7 crore from Rs. 830 crore) reflected the redemption of debentures by land owning companies in which we had previously invested. The increase in our loans and advances (to Rs. 5,237.1 crore from Rs. 1,064.2 crore) was mainly on account of advances to third parties aggregating Rs. 1,908.0 crore and to related parties of Rs. 1,930.2 crore, for financing land purchases. The increase in sundry debtors (to Rs. 1,519.5 crore from Rs. 658 crore) included amounts owed of Rs. 1,495.0 crore from the sale of certain of our commercial properties to DAL, and the rest represented instalments that are overdue or not yet due from purchasers of our properties in respect of which we recognized sales revenue. During fiscal 2006, our total assets increased by 153% to Rs. 6,943.6 crore as of March 31, 2006 from Rs. 2,749.6 crore as of March 31, 2005.

In particular, the increase in our investments reflected our purchases of debentures issued by land acquiring companies, with which we had executed joint development agreements. There were also increases in sundry debtors and loans and advances which are discussed above under Cash flows from (used in) operating activities. Sundry debtors as of March 31, 2006, included Rs. 60.5 crore in unpaid dues to DLF Power from the Assam State Electricity Board. The goodwill reflected in our balance sheet increased to Rs. 848.9 crore as of March 31, 2006 from Rs. 52.2 crore as of March 31, 2005 following the acquisition of a number of land owning companies where the goodwill represented the difference between the purchase price and the book value of the net assets of the company. Liabilities and Provisions Our liabilities and provisions were Rs. 14,175.7 crore as of March 31, 2007. Of this, the principal components were Rs. 9,205.3 crore in secured and Rs. 727.5 crore in unsecured loans to finance land acquisitions and construction and project related expenses, and current liabilities and provisions of Rs. 4,242.9 crore, primarily reflecting our liabilities in respect of advances received for the sale of properties which have not yet been recognized in our sales revenue, as well as provisions for taxes. Our liabilities and provisions as of March 31, 2006 increased by 214% to Rs. 5,978.9 crore from Rs. 1,902 crore as of March 31, 2005. The principal components of the increase were increases in borrowings (to Rs. 4,132 crore from Rs. 967.6 crore) to fund our purchases of land and the construction and development of new projects, and increases in current liabilities and provisions (to Rs. 1,846.9 crore from Rs. 934.4 crore), reflecting our liabilities in respect of advances received for the sale of properties which have not yet been recognized in our sales revenue, as well as provision for taxes.

Related party transactions We enter into transactions with a number of related parties. As of March 31, 2007, our balances involving transactions with joint ventures and associates included loans and advances of Rs. 407.9 crore in advances to various joint ventures and associates for land acquisition. Our balances involving transactions with entities over which key management personnel are able to exercise significant influence include investments of Rs. 1.7 crore, Rs. 858.0 crore in debtors and Rs. 1,495.0 crore in loans and advances owed from DAL in respect of the commercial property sales discussed above. For details regarding our related party transactions, see the disclosures concerning transactions with related parties in our financial statements on page 283. Market risk We have substantial borrowings which, as of March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, aggregated Rs. 9,932.8 crore and Rs. 4,132 crore, respectively, approximately 75.4% and 95.0% of which respectively bore interest at a floating rate. In connection with the expansion of our business and proposed land acquisitions, we expect that we will incur significant amounts of indebtedness, which may result in an increase in our finance charges. We expect to reduce our outstanding loans using a portion of the proceeds from the Issue. Our interest costs will be subject to changes in market interest rates, which are currently on a rising trend. We do not engage in interest rate hedging. As of March 31, 2007, we had foreign currency borrowings in US$ equivalent to Rs. 311.6 crore, and as our business expands and we seek to participate further in the international loan markets, we expect the amount of our foreign currency borrowings to increase. This would further expose us to exchange rate risk which we seek to manage through exchange rate hedging.

Estimates; Accounting policies In the preparation of our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, our management has made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, both actual and contingent and the results of our operations. Although these estimates are based upon our managements best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates used by us in the preparation of our financial statements include estimates of the economic useful lives of our fixed assets, provisions for bad and doubtful debts and project costs. For details, see Components of our income and expenditure above. In fiscal 2006, pursuant to the Guidance Note on Recognition of Revenue by Real Estate Developers, issued by the ICAI, we have changed our accounting policy for recognizing revenue in respect of constructed properties in the year of registration of the sale deeds of the property to the percentage of completion method. The percentage of completion method results in these revenues being recognized earlier. In accordance with SEBI requirements, we have restated our financial statements for fiscal years 2005, 2004, 2003 and 2002 presented in this Red Herring Prospectus to reflect the use of the percentage of completion method of revenue recognition. Further the accumulated profit and loss balance as at April 1, 2001 has been approximately adjusted to reflect the impact of changes pertaining to the prior year until March 31, 2001. As of April 1, 2006 we adopted accounting standard AS-15 relating to accounting for employment benefits. The restatement effect of these revised standards in prior years was not material. As of April 1, 2006 we adopted an accounting practice pursuant to which the sale consideration from the sale of plots (i.e., lands on which we have not performed any construction) is recognized as revenue once the sale agreements for the plot are executed, whether or not consideration has been fully paid. The cumulative restatement effect of this change was to increase profits in prior years by Rs. 4.9 crore, most of which was recorded as opening reserves as of April 1, 2001 in the restated consolidated financials presented in this Red Herring Prospectus.

The offer was made to the shareholders of our Company as on November 18, 2005. The offer had opened on December 29, 2005 and closed on January 18, 2006. We received 128 valid applications for subscription to debentures and offer related documents in relation to 107 shareholders were returned undelivered. Accordingly, we issued 3,426,024 debentures. On account of complaints from certain shareholders, the Board during its meeting held on October 10, 2006, decided to revive and revalidate not exceeding 81,983 debentures, which were not subscribed to by the shareholders to redress the grievances of the shareholders and to allot such shareholders the debentures according to their entitlement in terms of the rights issue. The decision of our Board was approved by the shareholders in an EGM held on November 14, 2006. Consequently, on November 24, 2006, December 5, 2006 and December 22, 2006, an aggregate of 44,773 debentures were allotted with attendant benefits (i.e. conversion into equity shares and bonus in the ratio of 7:1).

The Bidding/Issue Period shall be a minimum of three working days and shall not exceed seven working days.

We, in consultation with the Global Coordinators, can finalize the Issue Price within the Price Band, without the prior approval of, or intimation to, the Bidders. Two payment methods are available only for Retail Individual Bidders. The details of the payment methods are given in The Issue on page 8.
Method and Process of Bidding (a) Each Bid cum Application Form will give the Bidder the choice to bid for up to three optional prices (for details, see Issue Procedure Bids at Different Price Levels and Revision of Bids on page 496) within the Price Band and specify the demand (i.e. the number of Equity Shares bid for) in each option. The price and demand options submitted by the Bidder in the Bid cum Application Form will be treated as optional demands from the Bidder and will not be cumulated. After determination of the Issue Price, the maximum number of Equity Shares Bid for by a Bidder at or above the Issue Price will be considered for allocation and the rest of the Bid(s), irrespective of the Bid Price, will become automatically invalid. The Bidder cannot bid on another Bid cum Application Form after Bids on one Bid cum Application Form have been submitted to a member of the Syndicate. Submission of a second Bid cum Application Form to either the same or to another member of the Syndicate will be treated as multiple Bids and is liable to be rejected either before entering the Bid into the electronic bidding system, or at any point of time prior to the allocation or allotment of Equity Shares in this Issue. However, the Bidder can revise the Bid through the Revision Form, the procedure for which is detailed under Issue Procedure - Build up of the Book and Revision of Bids on page 503. The members of the Syndicate will enter each Bid option into the electronic bidding system as a separate Bid and generate a Transaction Registration Slip (TRS), for each price and demand option and give the same to the Bidder. Therefore, a Bidder can receive up to three TRSs for each Bid cum Application Form. During the Bidding Period, Bidders may approach a member of the Syndicate to submit their Bid. Every member of the Syndicate shall accept Bids from all clients/investors who place orders through them and shall have the right to vet the Bids, subject to the terms of the Syndicate Agreement and the Red Herring Prospectus. Along with the Bid cum Application Form, all Bidders will make payment in the manner described under the paragraph Issue Procedure - Terms of Payment on page 501.

Bids at different price levels and Revision of Bids (a) The Bidder can bid at any price within the Price Band. The Bidder has to bid for the desired number of Equity Shares at a specific price. Retail Individual Bidders and Bidders in the Employee Reservation Portion applying for a maximum Bid in any of the bidding options not exceeding Rs. 100,000 may bid at Cut-off Price. However, bidding at Cut-off Price is prohibited for QIB Bidders, Non-Institutional Bidders and Employees bidding under the Employee Reservation Portion where the Bid Amount is in excess of Rs. 100,000 and such Bids from QIB Bidders, Non-Institutional Bidders and Employees shall be rejected. Retail Individual Bidders who bid at Cut-off Price and Employees bidding under the Employee Reservation Portion at Cut-Off Price agree that they shall purchase the Equity Shares at any price within the Price Band. Retail Individual Bidders bidding at Cut-Off Price and Employees bidding under the Employee Reservation Portion at Cut-Off Price shall deposit the Bid Amount based on the Cap Price in the Escrow Account. In the event the Bid Amount is higher than the subscription amount payable by the Retail Individual Bidders, who Bid at Cut-off Price and Employees bidding under the Employee Reservation Portion at Cut-Off Price (i.e. the total number of Equity Shares allocated in the Issue multiplied by the Issue Price), such Bidders, who Bid at Cut-off Price, shall receive the refund of the excess amounts from the Escrow Account or the Refund Account, as the case may be. In case of an upward revision in the Price Band announced as above, Retail Individual Bidders and Employees bidding under the Employee Reservation Portion at Cut-Off Price, who had bid at Cut-off Price could either (i) 496
(b)
(c)
revise their Bid or (ii) 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 Rs. 100,000 if the Bidder wants to continue to bid at Cut-off Price), with the member of the Syndicate to whom the original Bid was submitted. In case the total amount (i.e. original Bid Amount plus additional payment) exceeds Rs. 100,000, the Bid by a Retail Individual Bidder 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 Price prior to revision, the number of Equity Shares bid for shall be adjusted downwards for the purpose of allotment, 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. (d) In case of a downward revision in the Price Band, announced as above, Retail Individual Bidders and Employees bidding under the Employee Reservation Portion, 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 or the Refund Account, as the case may be. In the event of any revision in the Price Band, whether upwards or downwards, the minimum application size shall remain 10 Equity Shares irrespective of whether the Bid Amount payable on such minimum application is not in the range of Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 7,000. During the Bidding/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 during the Bidding/Issue Period 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 price 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 he 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 changed in the Revision Form. Incomplete or inaccurate Revision Forms will not be accepted by the members of the Syndicate. The Bidder can make revision any number of times during the Bidding Period.

On the Bid /Issue Closing Date, the members of the Syndicate shall upload the Bids till such time as may be permitted by the Stock Exchanges. Bidders are cautioned that a high inflow of bids typically experienced on the last day of bidding may lead to some Bids received on the last day not being uploaded due to lack of sufficient uploading time, and such Bids that could not be uploaded may not be considered for allocation. 502

(c)
The aggregate demand and price for Bids registered on the electronic facilities of the NSE and the BSE will be displayed on-line at all bidding centers and at the websites of NSE and BSE.

At the time of registering each Bid, the members of the Syndicate shall enter the following details of the investor in the on-line system: Name of the Bidder(s): Bidder(s) should ensure that the name given in the Bid cum Application Form is exactly the same as the name in which the depositary account is held.

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 members of the Syndicate. The registration of the Bid by the member of the Syndicate does not guarantee that the Equity Shares shall be allocated either by the members of the Syndicate or our Company. Such TRS will be non-negotiable and by itself will not create any obligation of any kind. Incase of QIB Bidders, members of the Syndicate have the right to accept the bid or reject it. A rejection can be made only at the time of receiving the bid and only after assigning a reason for such rejection in writing. In case on Non-Institutional Bidders and Retail Individual Bidders, Bids should not be rejected except on the technical grounds as listed on page 512.

During the Bidding/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 during the Bidding/Issue Period 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 price 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 he 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 changed in the Revision Form. Incomplete or inaccurate Revision Forms will not be accepted by the members of the Syndicate. The Bidder can make this revision any number of times during the Bidding Period.

Price Discovery and Allocation (a) (b) (c) After the Bid/Issue Closing Date, the Book Runners will analyze the demand generated at various price levels. We, in consultation with the Global Coordinators, shall finalize the Issue Price and the number of Equity Shares to be allocated in each investor category. The allocation to QIBs will be at least 60% of the Net Issue and allocation to Non-Institutional and Retail Individual Bidders will be up to 10% and 30% of the Net Issue, respectively, on a proportionate basis, in the manner specified in the SEBI Guidelines and the RHP and in consultation with the BSE.

Undersubscription, if any, in any category of the Net Issue, other than the QIB Portion, would be allowed to be met with spill over from any of the other categories at the discretion of our Company in consultation with the Book Runners. However, if the aggregate demand by Mutual Funds is less than 5,220,000 Equity Shares, the balance Equity Shares available for allocation in the Mutual Funds Portion will first be added to the QIB Portion and be allocated proportionately to the QIB Bidders. The Global Coordinators, in consultation with us, shall notify the other members of the Syndicate of the Issue Price. In the event that the aggregate demand in the QIB Portion has been met, under-subscription, if any, would 504

be allowed to be met with spill-over from any other category or combination of categories at the discretion of our Company, in consultation with the Book Runners and the BSE. (f) (g) (h) We reserve the right to cancel the Issue any time after the Bid/Issue Opening Date but before the Allotment without assigning any reasons whatsoever. Allocation to FIIs and Eligible NRIs applying on repatriation basis will be subject to the applicable law. In terms of the SEBI Guidelines, QIB Bidders shall not be allowed to withdraw their Bid after the Bid/Issue Closing Date.

Issuance of CAN (a) Upon approval of the basis of allocation by the BSE, the Book Runners or the Registrar to the Issue shall send to the members of the Syndicate a list of their Bidders who have been allocated Equity Shares in the Issue. The approval of the basis of allocation by the BSE for QIB Bidders may be done simultaneously with or prior to the approval of the basis of allocation for the Retail and Non-Institutional Bidders and Bids from Employees bidding in the Employee Reservation Portion. Investors should note that the Company shall ensure that the demat credit of Equity Shares pursuant to Allotment shall be made on the same date to all investors in this Issue; The Book Runners or members of the Syndicate would then send the CAN to their Bidders who have been allocated Equity Shares in the Issue. The dispatch of CAN shall be deemed a valid, binding and irrevocable contract for the Bidder to pay the entire Issue Price for all the Equity Shares allocated to such Bidder. Those Bidders who have paid the Margin Amount into the Escrow Account at the time of bidding shall pay the balance amount payable into the Escrow Account by the Pay-in Date specified in the CAN; and Such Bidders who have been allocated Equity Shares and who have already paid the Margin Amount for the said Equity Shares into the Escrow Account at the time of bidding shall directly receive the CAN from the Registrar to the Issue subject, however, to realization of their cheque or demand draft paid into the Escrow Accounts. The dispatch of a CAN shall be deemed a valid, binding and irrevocable contract for the Bidder. The issuance of CAN is subject to Allotment Reconciliation and Revised CANs as set forth below.

Allotment Reconciliation and Revised CANs After the Bid/Issue Closing Date, an electronic book will be prepared by the Registrar on the basis of Bid applications received. Based on the electronic book, QIBs will be sent a CAN indicating the number of Equity Shares that may be allocated to them. This CAN is subject to the basis of final Allotment, which will be approved by the BSE and reflected 505
in the reconciled book prepared by the Registrar. Subject to SEBI Guidelines, certain Bid applications may be rejected due to technical reasons, non-receipt of funds, cancellation of cheques, cheque bouncing, incorrect details, etc., and these rejected applications will be reflected in the reconciliation and basis of allocation as approved by the BSE and specified in the physical book. As a result, a revised CAN may be sent to QIBs and the allocation of Equity Shares in such revised CAN may be different from that specified in the earlier CAN. QIBs should note that they may be required to pay additional amounts, if any, by the Pay-in Date specified in the revised CAN, for any increased allocation of Equity Shares. The CAN will constitute the valid, binding and irrevocable contract (subject only to the issue of a revised CAN) for the QIB to pay the entire Issue Price for all the Equity Shares allocated to such QIB. The revised CAN, if issued, will supersede in entirety the earlier CAN. Designated Date and Allotment of Equity Shares (a) Our Company will ensure that the Allotment of Equity Shares is done within 15 days of the Bid/Issue Closing Date. After the funds are transferred from the Escrow Account to the Issue Account and the Refund Account on the Designated Date, our Company would ensure the credit to the successful Bidders' depository accounts of the allotted Equity Shares to the allottees within two working days from the date of Allotment. As per the SEBI Guidelines, Equity Shares will be issued and allotted only in the dematerialized form to the allottees. Allottees will have the option to re-materialize the Equity Shares so allotted, if they so desire, as per the provisions of the Companies Act and the Depositories Act.

However, the collection center of the members of the Syndicate will acknowledge the receipt of the Bid cum Application Forms or Revision Forms by stamping and returning to the Bidder the acknowledgement slip. This acknowledgement slip will serve as the duplicate of the Bid cum Application Form for the records of the Bidder. OTHER INSTRUCTIONS Joint Bids in case of Individuals Bids may be made in single or joint names (not more than three). In case of joint Bids, all payments will be made out in favour of the Bidder whose name appears first in the Bid cum Application Form or Revision Form. All communication will be addressed to the first Bidder and will be dispatched to his or her address as per the Demographic Details received from the Depository. Multiple Bids A Bidder should submit only one Bid (and not more than one) for the total number of Equity Shares required. Two or more Bids will be deemed to be multiple Bids if the sole or First Bidder is one and the same. In this regard, the procedures which would be followed by the Registrar to the Issue to detect multiple applications are given below: 1. 2. 3. 4. All applications with the same name and age will be accumulated and taken to a separate process file which would serve as a multiple master. 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 depositories, details of the applicants address based on the DP ID and Beneficiary Account Number provided in the Bid-cum-Application Form and create an address master. The addresses of all the applicants 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 510
5. 6.
stops, hash etc. Sometimes, the name, the first line of addresses and pin code will be converted into a string for each application received and a photo match will be carried out amongst all the application processed. A printout of the addresses will be taken to check for common names. The application with same name and same address will be treated as multiple applications. The applications will be scrutinized for their 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. Subsequent to the aforesaid procedures, a print out of multiple master will be taken and applications physically verified to tally signatures as also fathers/husbands names. On completion of this, the applications will be identified as multiple applications.
In case of a Mutual Fund, a separate Bid can be made in respect of each scheme of the Mutual Fund registered with SEBI and such Bids in respect of more than one scheme of the Mutual Fund will not be treated as multiple Bids provided that the Bids clearly indicate the scheme for which the Bid has been made. Bids made by Employees both under Employees Reservation Portion as well as in the Net Issue shall not be treated as multiple Bids. The Company reserves the right to reject, in our absolute discretion, all or any multiple Bids in any or all categories. In cases where there are more than 20 valid applicants having a common address, such shares will be kept in abeyance, post allotment and released on confirmation of KYC norms by the depositories. Permanent Account Number Where Bid(s) is/are for Rs. 50,000 or more, the Bidder or in the case of a Bid in joint names, each of the Bidders, should mention his/her PAN allotted under the I.T. Act. The copy of the PAN card(s) or PAN allotment letter(s) is required to be submitted with the Bid cum Application Form. Applications without this information and documents will be considered incomplete and are liable to be rejected. It is to be specifically noted that Bidders should not submit the GIR number instead of the PAN, as the Bid is liable to be rejected on this ground. In case the sole/First Bidder and joint Bidder(s) is/are not required to obtain PAN, each of the Bidder(s) shall mention Not Applicable and in the event that the sole Bidder and/or the joint Bidder(s) have applied for PAN which has not yet been allotted each of the Bidder(s) should mention Applied for in the Bid cum Application Form. Further, where the Bidder(s) has mentioned Applied for or Not Applicable, the sole/First Bidder and each of the joint Bidder(s), as the case may be, would be required to submit Form 60 (form of declaration to be filed by a person who does not have a permanent account number and who enters into any transaction specified in Rule 114B of the Income Tax Rules, 1962), or, Form 61 (form of declaration to be filed by a person who has agricultural income and is not in receipt of any other income chargeable to income-tax in respect of transactions specified in Rule 114B of the Income Tax Rules, 1962), as may be applicable, duly filled along with a copy of any one of the following documents in support of the address: (a) ration card (b) passport (c) driving licence (d) identity card issued by any institution (e) copy of the electricity bill or telephone bill showing residential address (f) any document or communication issued by any authority of the Central Government, state government or local bodies showing residential address (g) any other documentary evidence in support of address given in the declaration. It may be noted that Form 60 and Form 61 have been amended by a notification issued on December 1, 2004 by the Central Board of Direct Taxes, Department of Revenue, Ministry of Finance. All Bidders are requested to furnish, where applicable, the revised Form 60 or Form 61 as the case may be. Retail Individual Bidders bidding under the Payment Method-I must ensure that their demat accounts are not suspended for trading activities on any account whatsoever (including non-submission of PAN details). Unique Identification Number (UIN) - MAPIN With effect from July 1, 2005, SEBI had decided to suspend all fresh registrations for obtaining UIN and the requirement to contain/quote UIN under the SEBI MAPIN Regulations/Circulars vide its circular MAPIN/Cir-13/2005. However, in a recent press release dated December 30, 2005, SEBI has approved certain policy decisions and has now decided to resume registrations for obtaining UINs in a phased manner. The press release states that the cut off limit for obtaining UIN has been raised from the existing limit of trade order value of Rs.100,000 to Rs.500,000 or more. The limit will be reduced progressively. For trade order value of less than Rs.500,000, an option will be available to investors to obtain 511
either the PAN or UIN. These changes are, however, not effective as of the date of the RHP and SEBI has stated in the press release that the changes will be implemented only after necessary amendments are made to the SEBI MAPIN Regulations. At present, investors are not required to provide a MAPIN.

Please note: 1. The illustration presumes compliance with the requirements specified in the RHP in Issue Structure on page 489. 2. Out of 120 crore equity shares allocated to QIBs, 6 crore (i.e. 5%) will be allocated on proportionate basis among five Mutual Fund applicants who applied for 200 shares in the QIB Portion. 3. The balance 114 crore equity shares [i.e. 120 - 6 (available for Mutual Funds only)] will be allocated on proportionate basis among 10 QIB Bidders who applied for 500 equity shares (including 5 Mutual Fund applicants who applied for 200 equity shares). 4. The figures in the fourth column Allocation of balance 114 crore equity shares to QIBs proportionately in the above illustration are arrived as under: 1. For QIBs other than Mutual Funds (A1 to A5)= Number of equity shares Bid for X 114/494 2. For Mutual Funds (MF1 to MF5)= [(No. of shares bid for (i.e., in column II of the table above) 517

less equity shares allotted ( i.e., column III of the table above)] X 114/494 The numerator and denominator for arriving at allocation of 114 crore equity shares to the 10 QIBs are reduced by 6 crore equity shares, which have already been allotted to Mutual Funds in the manner specified in column III of the table above.
Method of Proportionate basis of allocation in the Issue In the event of the Issue being over-subscribed, the Company shall finalize the basis of allocation in consultation with the Designated Stock Exchange. The Executive Director (or any other senior official nominated by them) of the BSE along with the Book Runners, and the Registrar to the Issue shall be responsible for ensuring that the basis of allocation is finalized in a fair and proper manner. Bidders will be categorized according to the number of Equity Shares applied for by them and the allotment shall be made on a proportionate basis as explained below. (a) The total number of Equity Shares to be allotted to each category as a whole shall be arrived at on a proportionate basis, which is the total number of Equity Shares applied for in that category (number of Bidders in the category multiplied by the number of Equity Shares applied for) multiplied by the inverse of the oversubscription ratio. Number of Equity Shares to be allotted to the successful Bidders will be arrived at on a proportionate basis, which is total number of Equity Shares applied for by each Bidder in that category multiplied by the inverse of the over-subscription ratio. In all Bids where the proportionate allotment is less than 10 Equity Shares per Bidder, the allotment shall be made as follows: ! Each successful Bidder shall be allotted a minimum of 10 Equity Shares; and ! The successful Bidders out of the total Bidders for a category shall be determined by draw of lots in a manner such that the total number of Equity Shares allotted in that category is equal to the number of Equity Shares calculated in accordance with (b) above. If the proportionate allotment to a Bidder is a number that is more than 10 Equity Shares but is not a multiple of one (which is the market lot), the decimal would be rounded off to the higher whole number if that decimal is 0.5 or higher. If that number is lower than 0.5, it would be rounded off to the lower whole number. All Bidders in such categories would be allotted Equity Shares 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.
