The Indian Economy


Pursuant to Section 217 (2AA) of the Companies Act, 1956,
the Directors confirm that:
(I)

in the preparation of annual a c c o u n t s , applicable


a c c o u n t i n g s t a n d a r d s have b e e n f o l l o w e d by the
Company;

(II)

such accounting policies have been selected and


consistently applied and judgments & estimates made
that are reasonable and prudent so as to give a true
and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company as
at 31st March, 2009 and of the profit of the Company
for the year ended on that date;

(III) proper and sufficient care has been taken for the
m a i n t e n a n c e of a d e q u a t e a c c o u n t i n g r e c o r d s in
accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act,
1956, for safeguarding the assets of the Company
and for preventing and detecting fraud and other
irregularities;
(iv) annual accounts have been prepared on a going
concern basis.

The World has witnessed the worst ever recession during


the year. The fall of the old banks and financial institutions
h a v e f u r t h e r d e e p e n e d the c r i s i s p a r t i c u l a r l y in the
developed countries. Government of various countries have
come out with stimulus packages to cushion the impact of
recession and absorb some of the losses. The financial
architecture of the whole world has been dealt a large
blow. Even though the Indian banking industry has been
largely protected from the impact, availability of credit has
substantially declined.
India has been no exception from the adverse effects of
the g l o b a l e c o n o m i c r e c e s s i o n . T h e r e i s a n o v e r a l l
slowdown in demand across India as has been experienced
by Industry Players. The worst effected industries have
been real estate and construction, and export oriented
industries. However, Indian banking sector due to the
conservative and pragmatic policies of the government of
India and the RBI has not been so affected by the slowdown
as its counterparts in the developed countries. Various
positive and timely steps initiated by the Govt, of India and

RBI h a v e r e s u l t e d in c o n t r o l l i n g inflation well a b o v e


expectations. Availability of funds has started improving
since April, 2009 with a complimentary decline in interest
rates. Installation of the stable government at the centre
and the continuity of reforms are expected to certainly help
the country to face the situation more effectively. It is widely
expected that India is in a much better position than many
other economies to achieve an early and fast revival.
Real Estate Industry
The Indian real estate sector plays a significant role in the
country's economy. The real estate sector is second only
to agriculture in terms of e m p l o y m e n t generation and
contributes heavily towards the gross domestic product
( G D P ) . A l m o s t five per cent of the c o u n t r y ' s G D P is
contributed to by the housing sector. In the next five years,
this contribution to the GDP is expected to rise to 6 per
cent. According to industry players, housing accounts for
4.5 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP) with urban
housing accounting for 3.13 per cent.
It is expected that faster economic growth in India would
result in the improvement of property markets. Almost 80
per cent of real estate developed in India is residential
space, the rest comprising of offices, shopping malls, hotels
and hospitals. According to the Tenth Five-Year-Plan, there
is a shortage of 2.24 crores dwelling units. Thus, over the
next 10 to 15 years, 8 to 9 crores housing dwelling units
will have to be constructed with a majority of them catering
to middle and lower income groups.
2008-09 was probably one of the worst years for the real'
estate industry in the recent past. High interest rates, job
insecurity, and uncertainty about the economy and prices
led to home buying decision being d e f e r r e d . With the
economy reviving and interest rates falling, the market is
expected to improve with demand returning and home buyers
making their decisions faster.
G o v e r n m e n t Initiatives- Providing the Road A h e a d
The government has introduced many progressive reform
measures to unlock the potential of the sector and also
meet increasing demand levels. The government's recently
announced stimulus package, coupled with the Reserve
Bank of India's (RBI) move allowing banks to provide special
treatment to the real estate sector, is likely to impact the
Indian real estate sector in a positive way. RBI has decided
t o e x t e n d e x c e p t i o n a l c o n c e s s i o n a l t r e a t m e n t t o the
commercial real estate exposure and restructured it to June
30, 2009.
The government has recently a n n o u n c e d an economic
stimulus package keeping in mind the impact of the global
slowdown on the Indian real estate sector. Public sector
banks and private sector banks have announced a package
for home loan borrowers in various categories. This is
expected to increase borrowing for homes and in turn give
a boost to the realty sector.

Indian real estate companies have witnessed growth in


business in the last few years. Amount of building has
significantly manifolds over the last five years. However,
they have not been accompanied with similar developments
in urban infrastructure. The government needs to provide
better infrastructure in the cities that can support our rapidly
urbanizing population.
D e v e l o p m e n t s during the year
There are many accomplishments of the company during
the year the biggest of these include:
1.

Entered into an agreement for development of group housing


project in Jamshedpur at land measuring 8.69 acres.

2.

Entered into an agreement with TATA Steel Ltd. for


acquiring land measuring two acres for development
of shopping Mall, Multiplex and Hotel in Jamshedpur.

3.

Achieved highest ever construction of 9.4 lacs sq. ft.

4.

Launch of Phase 1 of Ashiana Utsav, a Retirement


Housing project in Lavasa, (Pune) offering 166 units
to the public.

5.

Completion of project Ashiana Woodland Phase-2 at


Jamshedpur.

Opportunities
With the overall fall in demand in the world economy during
the last couple of years the Indian economy could not remain
unaffected. This affected adversely the demand for daily
needs. Many of the sectors of the economy faced negative
growth rate. Real estate industry was one of such sectors.
However, for those who will be able to ride the downturn,
the o p p o r t u n i t i e s will be i m m e n s e o n c e the industry
recovers, the early signs of which are already there.
The downturn will create many opportunities in the near
future. Some of the positive effects of the downturn are
listed below:
1.

Exit of developers who entered the market during the


boom but have very little experience, expertise or
capabilities.

2.

Decrease in land prices as a result of the decline in


property prices and a decrease in demand for land
due to the exit of many developers.

3.

Markets and customers giving better value to


companies with delivery track records, high quality
developments, and transparency.

4.

M a r k e t s will be d r i v e n by e n d u s e r s rather t h a n
.speculative investors.

Ashiana has conserved cash and has an unlevered balance


sheet that gives its financial strength to capitalize on the
upcoming opportunities. Rather than borrowing land and
creating land bank for 50 years, Ashiana spent resources
on creating execution capabilities, and institutionalizing
processes that will provide the foundations for growth in
the future.

j9F[Ashiana[
Nurturing

Smiles

Ashiana has an enviable track record in delivering projects


and did record construction in 2008-09. The customer base
of Ashiana is largely end users as the homes built by us are
functional and practical designed with the occupant in mind
and are constructed with utmost care for quality.
The Indian home owner has become far more sophisticated
and demanding and has the freedom to choose from a
multitude of offerings. It is imperative for developers to
provide differentiated products serving the various needs
and demands of the consumer. Senior housing has emerged
as a profitable niche in which your company has been able
to build a brand. Even in the regular housing space, your
company is constantly innovating to provide better products
at various price points.
The downturn will create opportunities for companies that
h a w c o m p e W w e products, tmancsaL strength, a n d high
brand equity. A s h i a n a has the s t r e n g t h s to grab the
opportunities that will be presented.
Risks and c o n c e r n s
1.

Land Title

Land titles in India are still very unclear and it can be very
difficult to ascertain the legal ownership of land. This is
specifically true in case of agricultural land, which has
passed in current hands by way of inheritance through
generations of large families. Therefore, Ashiana follows a
s t r a t e g y of p a r t n e r i n g with local d e v e l o p e r s on duly
converted residential/commercial land for development. This
decreases the title risk substantially.
3.

12

Availability of Manpower

There is an acute shortage of skilled manpower in the


country. This is the case for both skilled labour as well as
g r a d u a t e s in all f i e l d s . W i t h g r o w t h r e q u i r e m e n t of
manpower will increase manifold and skilled manpower
even more. One of the steps taken by Ashiana to mitigate
this risk is to train unskilled labour to become skilled masons,
bar binders, electricians, and carpenters etc. Another step
taken by Ashiana is to systemize internal processes to
become more efficient by simplifying otherwise complex
tasks.
Outlook
The real estate sector in India has a s s u m e d growing
importance with the liberalization of the economy. India
continues to face an acute shortage of housing units. Based
on the 10th Gol Five "Year Plan (2002-2007), the housing
shortage is estimated at approximately 2.24 crore dwelling
units. However, 2008-09 saw the worst ever global recession
in world history and the Indian real estate sector went through
its worst ever period since the reforms of 1991.

Increase in Interest Rates

The interest rates have declined in the recent period with


the RBI following an expansionary monetary policy. Interest
rates are directly linked to the capacity of the buyers to pay
and purchase as most home purchases are funded through
home loans. With the government's fiscal deficit budgeted
to expand manifold there is a risk that government borrowing
will crowd out the availability of credit for individuals and
the private sector. This may lead to an increase in interest
rates which will have a negative impact on the real estate
sector.
2.

4.

Increasing Construction Costs

The year 2008-09 saw an increase in both material and


labour costs. The material costs are highly related to the
commodity cycle and is subject to its volatility, which was
the probably the highest ever in 2008-09. Labour, cost rose
with a hike in minimum wages in Rajasthan and Jharkhand.
Cost of manpower is expected to increase at a very fast
pace across the country. To combat the same, Ashiana has
started mechanizing many construction processes. Plant &
machinery purchase is rising every year with different types
of machines from batching plant to material hoists being
used to improve efficiencies.

T h e d o w n t u r n will c r e a t e its o w n o p p o r t u n i t i e s for


c o m p a n i e s w h o are f i n a n c i a l l y s o u n d w i t h a r o b u s t
business model. Ashiana is one of the few companies in
this space who have been conservative and avoided buying
l a n d in u n v i a b l e l o c a t i o n s at u n r e a s o n a b l e p r i c e s .
Opportunities will come in the form of cheaper land and
customers demanding quality and transparency. Demand
will be driven by end users instead of investors. Ashiana
is in a strong position to grab these opportunities.
Internal Control Systems and their adequacy
The Company has proper and adequate system of internal
controls commensurate with its size and nature of the
Company's business to provide reasonable assurance that
all assets are safe-guarded; transactions are authorized,
recorded and reported properly. Systems are regularly
r e v i e w e d to ensure e f f e c t i v e n e s s . The C o m p a n y has
q u a l i f i e d a n d e x p e r i e n c e d p r o f e s s i o n a l s w h o are
instrumental in maintaining the growth and success of the
company and implement the policies.
Material developments in Human Resources/
Industrial Relations front, including number of people
employed.
Developing human resource has always been a focus area
over the years for the Company. During the year training
programs were ranging from organizational thrust areas
and skill d e v e l o p m e n t to behavioral p r o g r a m s . These
p r o g r a m s are built a r o u n d the t h e m e s for e n h a n c i n g
managerial effectiveness, employee motivation, quality
culture and building functional expertise. During the year,
the Company maintained harmonious and cordial industrial
relations. The total headcount for the year stood at 216
excluding labor and workers.
