Due Diligence in Real Estate

INTRODUCTION

Housing Development and Infrastructure Limited   is a listed real estate

development company in India, with significant operations in the MumbaiMetropolitan Region. HDIL's business focuses on Real Estate Development,

including construction and development of residential projects and, more recently,

commercial and retail projects, Slum Rehabilitation and Development, including

clearing slum land and rehousing slum dwellers, and Land Development, including

development of infrastructure on land which the company then sells to other

property developers. HDIL has an integrated in-house development team which

covers all aspects of property development from project identification and inception

through construction to completion and sale.

Since incorporation in 1996, HDIL has developed 23 projects covering

approximately 19.29 million square feet of saleable area, including approximately

12,730,000 square feet (1,183,000 m2) of land sold to other builders after Land

Development, primarily in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. HDIL also have

constructed an additional 1,900,000 square feet (177,000 m2) of rehabilitation

housing area under slum rehabilitation schemes. HDIL's residential projectsgenerally comprise groups of apartments, towers or larger multi-purpose

“township” projects in which individual housing units are sold to customers. The

commercial projects are a mix of office space and multiplex cinemas. The retail

projects focus on shopping malls. They usually follow a “build and sell” model for

the properties they develop. HDIL also undertakes slum rehabilitation projects

under a Government scheme administered by the Slum Rehabilitation Authority

(SRA), whereby developers are granted development rights in exchange for clearing

and redeveloping slum lands, including providing replacement housing for the

dislocated slum dwellers. The company has also bagged the prestigious Mumbai

Airport Slum Rehabilitation Project to rehabilitate the slum dwellers located on 276

acres (1.12 km2) of Mumbai Airport land. Although historically HDIL has focused on

real estate development in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, as part of their growth

strategy they are considering projects in other locations, including Kochi and

Hyderabad. They also are considering expanding into hotel projects, special

economic zone(SEZ) developments and “mega-structure” complexes, which are

large-scale mixed-use retail, commercial and residential developments. HDIL

launched an IPO in July 2007 and is currently listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange

(BSE) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE).

HISTORY 

HDIL, part of the Wadhawan Group, was founded by the late Mr. Dewan Kuldip

Singh Wadhawan in 1973. The Wadhawan Group was founded for the purpose of 

land aggregation, land management, land development and construction of 

residential, commercial and retail units, townships and infrastructure. Initially, the

Wadhawan Group was also involved in the marketing of residential, commercial and

industrial plots. In 1973 the first residential building named Kapil Kunj at Vasai was

completed by the Wadhawan Group. In 1978, all the projects of the Wadhawan

Group came under the brand name of Dheeraj. As of December 31, 2006, the

Wadhawan Group has developed (including our developments) approximately 72.8

million square feet of saleable area and, additionally, has constructed

approximately 5.5 million square feet of rehabilitation area under slum

rehabilitation schemes. Our Company was incorporated on July 25, 1996 as Housing

Development and Improvement India Private Limited, with the objective of 

developing large-scale real estate projects including residential, commercial and

retail projects such as shopping malls, multiplexes and integrated townships and

partnering in development of public infrastructure.

Since our incorporation in 1996, we have developed and constructed 2

projects covering approximately 11.0 million square feet of saleable area, including

approximately 5.7 million square feet of land sold to other builders after Land

Development, all in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. We also have constructed an

additional 2.0 million square feet of rehabilitation area under slum rehabilitation

schemes.

Vision:

Since its inception in 1996 HDIL has completed 24 projects covering 11.3mn

sq ft of saleable area. The company’s projects have an enhanced buyer perception,

especially since it is a part of the Wadhawan group which has developed a strongreputation for quality construction in the MMR over three decades. The company

has created strong brand equity among the middle to higher middle class group in

the residential segment, while establishing a firm foothold in commercial and retail

segments as well. HDIL‟s expertise includes strong relationships with suppliers from

whom it sources material and with contractors that it engages for carrying out

construction services. This enables it to keep a firm check on quality and cost. HDIL

can leverage the experienced gained from the projects implemented in other parts

of the country and for other types of projects.

HDIL has a novel business model wherein it balances its short-term as well as

long-term project initiatives. HDIL is a leader in the SRS segment. Executing SRS

projects allows HDIL to generate higher returns on its projects, as the cost of land is

the cost of construction. HDIL‟s SRS projects are characterized by a lower asset

cycle risk as against its non-SRS projects, which involve a one-time upfront payment

for the land parcel. HDIL‟s future initiatives involve a venture into the hospitality

sector, development of a SEZ and bidding for Airport modernization. HDIL has so far

followed the build-and-sell model even for its commercial and retail properties.

While this may not be in line with international practices, for companies such as

HDIL, which also lock their working capital in developing SRS in Mumbai, there may

be higher requirement of capital, and this is better met by building and selling,

rather than leasing property.

HDIL’s BUILD – THEN SELL CONCEPT

 THE Build Then Sell (BTS) concept is where housing developers have to complete a

housing project before selling houses to buyers.

However, the greatest obstacle facing developers in such a concept is finance.

Banks normally only agree to provide financial backing once a sizeable number of 

the houses have been taken up.

Under the BTS approach, the developer does not receive progressive payment from

end-financiers as mentioned above and therefore requires higher financing from the

bridge-financier in order to finance the project.

As mentioned above, the BTS approach does shield house-buyers against the risk of 

the project not being completed. However, from the bridge-financier’s point of view,

the completion risk remains relatively unchanged vis-à-vis the SAB approach. In

addition, the absence of progressive payments from end-financiers means that the

developer would most likely require higher bridge-financing to complete the project.

  This also means higher risk to the bridge-financier. Hence, to minimize the

likelihood of abandonment of the project, the bridge-financier of a BTS project

would most likely fund only experienced developers who have the required track

record and adequate financial strength.

HDIL has so far followed the build-and-sell model even for its commercial and retail

properties. While this may not be in line with international practices, for companies

such as HDIL, which also lock their working capital in developing SRS in Mumbai,

there may be higher requirement of capital, and this is better met by building and

selling, rather than leasing property. However this model has its disadvantages, asit would lead to bunching of revenues in some years. . This would also result in

fluctuating operating costs and negative cash flows. HDIL has, however, offset this

to some extent by regular sale of transferable development rights that it earns

thorough the slum rehab projects.

Residential business:

HDIL’s residential projects consist of apartment complexes with multiple story

Most residential units are pre-apartment towers as well as self-contained planned

communities (townships) with sold due to their prime locations mixed-use

residential and commercial Financials space. Prime locations, good quality and

strong brand recall construction and a reputed brand name allow the company to

pre- sell a significant portion of its residential units prior to completion of a project.

HDIL currently has 16 residential projects (ongoing plus planned), aggregating

86.5mn sq ft, to be developed over the next 5-6 years in Mumbai, Kochi and

Hyderabad. The company also intends to develop ~2.2mn sq ft of residential space

as part of its SRS projects.

Commercial business:

HDIL has developed several commercial and office projects across various

locations within the MMR, which are largely targeted at established financial and

service sector companies. The company has also undertaken the development of 

several multiplexes, either as standalone structures or within upcoming malls. HDIL

follows the build and sell model of development and does not retain ownership or

management responsibilities in any of its projects. It currently has two projects

under development across the commercial space totaling 0.1mn sq ft, with a further

3.4mn sq ft of commercial space planned as part of its SRS initiative.

Retail business:

HDIL sells retail space directly to store operators, rather than retaining

ownership and leasing the space. Many of its retail projects are located in areas

where the company is also undertaking various residential and commercial projects.

HDIL‟s retail development pipeline till 2012 comprises 18 projects covering 19mn

sq ft.

Slum rehabilitation and development:

HDIL is engaged in slum rehabilitation projects on both government and

private land. This involves new housing for slum dwellers under a government plan

administered by the Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA). It also builds new housing

of developable land for slum dwellers displaced by government infrastructure

projects such as roadway expansion. Land occupied by slum dwellers constitutes a

significant portion of developable land in the MMR and rehabilitation projects

therefore provide significant opportunities for real estate development. The

company has 13 ongoing rehabilitation programs in the MMR.

WAYS OF RAISING FINANCE

1. Angel investors - These are investors who provide money to start up new

project. They take a greater risk than a bank and will want to make more

money because of that.

2. Venture Capitalist - These are groups that have funds available who are

willing to take a big risk (often on new technology) and expect a high return.

 This is usually a source for an existing business rather than a new one. VCs

invest large amounts of money in the business and therefore own a large part

of the business. Their goal is to sell the business in a relatively short time.

One way they sell the business is by taking the company public through an

IPO (Initial Public Offering).

3. They can ask big investors to invest in infrastructure projects

4. They can go for Issue of fixed deposit receipts

REAL ESTATE MARKETING STRATEGIES

As an estate agent, it is likely that you are also required to be a marketing

professional, capable of devising persuasive marketing strategies to encourage

potential buyers and sellers to contact you.

 The following are the most common off-line marketing strategies that you can

employ to attract business:

• Mini billboards

• Radio & television ads

• Brochures, flyers, and billboard signs

Reputation is everything. To build yours you can make use of the following

strategies:

• Local media interviews – The best way of letting people know about you is

to make media appearances. Well written and pertinent press releases have a

double effect of informing the public about real estate trends, and reinforcing your

image. The more familiar you are to the local community, the more people will be

willing to trust you and your expertise in buying and selling properties.

• Seminars – An easy method to increase the number of customers who come

to you is by giving free seminars related to real estate topics. Public speaking as a

Due Diligence in Real Estate

marketing strategy can be quiet effective in exposing your agency to potential

investors and residential customers. At the same time, you are reminding people of 

your experience and expertise and how you can help them.

On-line marketing strategies can often be easier, cheaper and more convenient

ways to find new customers. To reach potential customers, you need to have a

website of your own that both presents information about you and also collects

information from customers as they visit - feedback (even negative such) is

essential to understanding how best to reach your target audience. There are many

strategies involved in on-line marketing, here are two of the more common:

A combination of off-line and on-line marketing will often be the most effective way

to reach the maximum amount of potential customers, and generate the most

business.

As a real estate agent, you may experience common challenges such as stiff 

competition and a declining market. One way to help you increase business and

stand out from the crowd is to make use of a variety of marketing strategies. If 

marketing dollars are scarce, some strategies can be implemented at little or no

cost.

Form Alliances

Form alliances with other real estate professionals in your area such as mortgage

originators, appraisers and title companies. By referring clients to others, they, in

turn, will send business your way. This form of free marketing can help reduce your

overall marketing costs as well as save you the amount of time you need to spend

on prospecting.

Stay In Touch

Stay in touch with your clients even after they have bought or sold a home. An

easy, no-cost method of communication is to send a regular email newsletter filled

Due Diligence in Real Estate

with home care tips and information about changes in the real estate market. This

will keep you in their minds for the next time they are in the real estate market. It

can also lead to referral business.

Use the Internet

Use the Internet to enhance your marketing efforts. For a fee, websites such as

Obeo.com allow you to use virtual tours to provide an additional way for potential

clients to view homes for sale. This can be more effective than posting photos, as it

offers buyers features such as being able to see what the home would look like if it

were painted a different color.

Avoid Cold Calls

Making cold calls by phone is much more difficult in the age of the National Do Not

Call Registry, and you may end up annoying potential clients. Instead, attempt to

meet people in person by attending public events like street fairs and local sporting

events, and join community organizations like the chamber of commerce or PTA.

 You'll get to meet people in a more relaxed setting, and your business card can be

used as a type of in-person cold call.

Use Social Media

Use social media websites such as Twitter as a free marketing tool. Social media

allows you to post your views and information about real estate, and network with

other real estate professionals as well as those who may be in the market to buy or

sell a home. It can also help you reach people from a different area who may be

considering moving to your town.

WHAT IS FSI

FSI is Floor Space Index. FSI means Floor Space Index, which is the ratio between

the built up area allowed and plot area available. It is not calculated but granted by

the authorities.

Example: FSI - 2, means plot area 5000 sq ft. The construction can have a floor

space of 10,000 sq ft. i.e if you build 10 flats then each must have a area of 1000 sq

ft.

Simply it means that higher the FSI, higher built up area is possible.

Benefit of FSI to HDIL

In a move significant move in the real estate industry, HDIL, a part of the

Wadhawan Group, has sold development rights of its commercial property 4.5 lakh

Sterling Institute of Management Studies, Nerul Page 28

Page 29: Due Diligence in Real Estate 1

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/due-diligence-in-real-estate-1 29/53

Due Diligence in Real Estate

sq ft for Rs 900 crore. The significance to the deal is attached to the per square feet

rate of Rs 20,000 charged the six storey commercial property Kaledonia at Andheri

a north western suburb of Mumbai. This comes on the back of the Unitech deal of 8

million sq ft of property,which was sold for Rs 25,000 per sq ft, and at a time when

real estate prices were expected to correct.

Niranjan Hiranandani, managing director of Hiranandani Group said "This only

indicates that the prices are not falling in Mumbai and suburbs. We have to increase

floor space index (FSI) and improve processes for development of townships to

bring about affordable housing."

Hariprakash Pandey, HDIL's assistant general manager (finance) told FE, "Andheri,

which enjoys a locational advantage, attracts per sq ft rate of Rs 20,000 to Rs

23,000. HDIL has entered into the sale of development rights agreement with Mack

Star Marketing Pvt Ltd. The company has already undertaken 23 commercial,

residential and retail projects with the deliverable areas of 50 million sq ft in

Mumbai, Hyderabad and Cochin. These projects are expected to be complete in

next three to five years."

 The company has recently bagged the much debated slum rehabilitation project of Mumbai International Airport Ltd (MIAL) on or around Mumbai airport, spread over

276 acres. The company has also been short-listed by the state government for

bidding for the Dharavi slum rehabilitation project.

Hike in FSI seems priced in

The Maharashtra state government is likely to hike FSI from 1 to 1.33 in suburbs,

which will affect TDR prices. We have already factored stable TDR prices of 

Rs2400/sq. ft. (i.e., 25% discount from the current level of Rs3,200/sq. ft.) and do

not expect a major negative impact incrementally. Further, we have assumed

4.5mn sq. ft. of TDR sale (i.e., 30% drop in TDR sales from FY2010) in FY2011 to

Sterling Institute of Management Studies, Nerul Page 29

Page 30: Due Diligence in Real Estate 1

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/due-diligence-in-real-estate-1 30/53

Due Diligence in Real Estate

factor in the hike in FSI. A 10% decline in TDR price adversely impacts our NAV by

mere 3%.

Even as HDIL has been improving its revenues the company is yet to climb back to

its sales and profit levels of FY-09. For FY-10, sales at Rs 1,500 crore was 13 per

cent lower than the previous year, while profits declined by 27 per cent to Rs 567

crore. Evidently the ascend has been slow and tedious. Operating profit margins

have already climbed back to the pre-slowdown levels of over 50 per cent, thanks to

 TDR sales.

However, company expect non-TDR sales, which are likely to bunch-up over the

next couple of years (revenue booked only on project completion), to significantly

ramp up revenues.

of financial year, and the total reserves of the Company stood at Rs. 6,680.90

Crores.

Due to increase in Reserves and surplus there is less return on net worth.

 The Return On Capital Employed is shows decreasing trends, which means thedeterioration in earning capacity and efficiency of the company. In

construction sector there are sudden increase and decrease of ROCE

depending upon the completion stage of the Project.

EPS: Though there is decline in the sales of the company but earning per

share is not decline and which shows good returns to its shareholders as

compare to other companies of same sector.

Book Value of Share is raising continuously though decline in the sale.

DIVIDEND: The strength of your Company lies in identification, execution and

successful implementation of the projects in the infrastructure space To

strengthen the long-term prospects and ensuring sustainable growth in assets

and revenue, it is important for the Company to evaluate various

opportunities in the different business verticals in which your Company

operates. The Company currently has several projects under implementation

and continues to explore newer opportunities. Considering this be in the

strategic interest of the Company and believe that this will greatly enhance

the long-term shareholders value. In order to fund these projects in its

development, expansion and implementation stages, conservation of funds is

of vital importance. Directors have not recommended any dividend for the

financial year 2009 10.

Sales of the HDIL ltd show the positive growth from 2007 to 2008 but after 2009 it

shows the declining trend because of the recession in that period. There is no any

other operating source of income.

 Total cost of construction increase from 2007 to 2008 but again it goes down in

2009 to 2010. If we compared the construction expenses with other operating

expenses in 2007 to 2008 it indicates that other operating expenses is more than

the construction expenses because there may be greater chance of completion of 

project and company made expenses on advertising of their projects. Company paid

interest and other expenses as their sale increases in previous years. Profit after tax

decrease in the year 2007- to 2009 due to the recession and fall in real estate

Due Diligence in Real Estate

HDIL to continue acquiring distressed assets by raising further debt @ interest

rates of up to 14%. While this may be accretive to its land bank value, the increased

debt levels remain a cause of concern given the current liquidity crunch being faced

by the sector.

 Long gestation period of SRS:

Building consensus among slum dwellers, getting govt. approvals, clearance

of encroachments and rehabilitation, require significant time. Any delay or stalling

of a project can lock working capital / create a cash crunch; affecting the company’s

ability to complete existing projects or start new projects.

SRA rules and regulations:

Any change in critical regulations regarding SRS will directly affect HDIL’s

profitability. Also, a change in regulations affecting the sale of TDRs received from

projects under SRS will have a significant impact.

Execution risk 

Airport project – Large no. of stakeholders (80,000 slum dwellers) high

probability of delays. Multifold jump in planned projects implies huge execution risk

.

Geographical concentration

Due Diligence in Real Estate

A regional slowdown in construction/ infrastructure industry in Mumbai and

the surrounding area, or external developments which make projects in the Mumbai

area less economically beneficial will have an adverse affect.

 Asset cycle risk 

Prevalent high prices expose HDIL to an asset cycle risk. Also a wait-and-

watch approach by customers before booking new properties can impact cash flows

and the completion of existing/ new projects.

FINANCIALS

• Robust sales growth

HDIL expects to develop 115 million sq ft of residential and commercial space

by FY14-15. Revenues are witness a 56% CAGR over FY06-10E to Rs 4,632 crore

from Rs 1,204 crore. Net profit is expected to increase at a CAGR of 56% to Rs

2,087 crore from Rs 543 crore over the same period. While we believe the company

will progressively scale up its execution capabilities, we have assumed flat sales

realizations and a 4% increase in construction costs to be on conservative side.

• Higher margins to propel profitability further

 The company is expected to perform well on the net margin front and its

return on net worth (RoNW) will be around 46-47% by FY09. The higher net profit

margins are due to higher profit contribution from slum rehabilitation business.

HDIL’s net profit margins are highest in the industry which clearly depicts the

management ability and robust business model. Going forward, we believe the

company would maintain these margins, with the lucrative slum rehabilitation

contributing more to the total business. SRS projects usually have margins of 72-

75% and normal residential projects have margins of 40-42%.

Increasing cost of resources

Increasing cost of raw materials such as steel, cement and labor can impactthe cost of construction and adversely impact margins. The ability to identify and

source land parcels at reasonable prices is also an area of concern, as it would

directly impact HDIL’s future growth prospects.

MASTER CIRCULAR ON HOUSING FINANCE SENDS BY RBI

TO BANKS:

1) DIRECT HOUSING FINANCE

Direct Housing Finance refers to the finance provided to individuals or groups

of individuals including co-operative societies.

Banks are free to evolve their own guidelines with the approval of their

Boards on aspects such as security, margin, age of dwelling units, repaymentschedule, etc.

Other Guidelines:

 The following types of bank finance may be included under Direct Housing Finance:

(i) Bank finance extended to a person who is already owning a house in town/village

where he resides, for buying/ constructing a second house in the same or other

town/ village for the purpose of self occupation.

(ii) Bank finance extended for purchase of a house by a borrower who proposes to

let it out on rental basis on account of his posting outside the headquarters or

because he has been provided accommodation by his employer.

Sterling Institute of Management Studies, Nerul Page 41

Page 42: Due Diligence in Real Estate 1

8/8/2019 Due Diligence in Real Estate 1

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/due-diligence-in-real-estate-1 42/53

Due Diligence in Real Estate

(iii) Bank finance extended to a person who proposes to buy an old house where he

is presently residing as a tenant.

(iv) Bank finance granted only for purchase of a plot, provided a declaration is

obtained from the borrower that he intends to construct a house on the said plot,

with the help of bank finance or otherwise, within such period as may be laid down

by the banks themselves

(v) Supplementary finance:

(a) Banks may consider requests for additional finance within the overall ceiling for

carrying out alterations/ additions/repairs to the house/flat already financed by

them.

(b) In the case of individuals who might have raised funds for construction/

acquisition of accommodation from other sources and need supplementary finance,

banks may extend such finance after obtaining   pari passu or second mortgage

charge over the property mortgaged in favour of other lenders and/or against such

other security, as they may deem appropriate.

2) INDIRECT HOUSING FINANCE

2.1 General

Banks should ensure that their indirect housing finance is channeled by way of term

loans to housing finance institutions, housing boards, other public housing agencies,

etc., primarily for augmenting the supply of serviced land and constructed units. It

should also be ensured that the supply of plots/houses is time bound and public

agencies do not utilise the bank loans merely for acquisition of land. Similarly,

serviced plots should be sold by these agencies to co-operative societies,

professional developers and individuals with a stipulation that the houses should be

constructed thereon within a reasonable time, not exceeding three years. For this

Sterling Institute of Management Studies, Nerul Page 42

Page 43: Due Diligence in Real Estate 1

8/8/2019 Due Diligence in Real Estate 1

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/due-diligence-in-real-estate-1 43/53

Due Diligence in Real Estate

purpose, the banks may take advantage of various guidelines issued by NHB for

augmenting the supply of serviced land and constructed units.

2.2 Lending to Housing Intermediary Agencies

2.2.1 Lending to Housing Finance Institutions

(i) Banks may grant term loans to housing finance institutions taking in to account(long-term) debt-equity ratio, track record, recovery performance and other

relevant factors.

(ii) In terms of NHB guidelines, housing finance companies’ total borrowings,

whether by way of deposits, issue of debentures/ bonds, loans and advances from

banks or from financial institutions including any loans obtained from NHB, should

not exceed 16 times of their net owned funds (i.e. paid-up capital and free reserves

less accumulated balance of loss, deferred revenue expenditure and intangible

assets).

(iii) All housing finance companies registered with NHB are eligible to apply for

refinance from NHB and will be eligible subject to the refinance policy. The quantum

of term loan to be sanctioned to them will not be linked to net owned fund as NHB

has already prescribed the above referred ceiling on total borrowing of housing

finance companies. A list of housing finance companies registered with NHB may be

obtained by the banks directly from NHB or download from www.nhb.org.in.

2.2.2 Lending to Housing Boards and Other Agencies

Sterling Institute of Management Studies, Nerul Page 43

Page 44: Due Diligence in Real Estate 1

8/8/2019 Due Diligence in Real Estate 1

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/due-diligence-in-real-estate-1 44/53

Due Diligence in Real Estate

Banks may extend term loans to state level housing boards and other public

agencies. However, in order to develop a healthy housing finance system, while

doing so, the banks must not only keep in view the past performance of these

agencies in the matter of recovery from the beneficiaries but they should also

stipulate that the Boards will ensure prompt and regular recovery of loan

installments from the beneficiaries.

2.2.3 Financing of Land Acquisition

In view of the need to increase the availability of land and house sites for increasing

the housing stock in the country, banks may extend finance to public agencies and

not private builders for acquisition and development of land, provided it is a part of 

the complete project, including development of infrastructure such as water

systems, drainage, roads, provision of electricity, etc. Such credit may be extended

by way of term loans. The project should be completed as early as possible and, in

any case, within three years, so as to ensure quick re-cycling of bank funds for

optimum results. If the project covers construction of houses, credit extended

therefore in respect of individual beneficiaries should be on the same terms and

conditions as stipulated for direct finance.

2.2.4 Terms and Conditions for Lending to Housing Intermediary Agencies

(i) In order to enhance the flow of resources to housing sector, term loans may be

granted by banks to housing intermediary agencies against the direct loans

sanctioned/ proposed to be sanctioned by the latter, irrespective of the per

borrower size of the loan extended by these agencies and such term loans would be

reckoned for the purpose of achievement of their housing finance allocation.

(ii) Banks can grant term loans to housing intermediary agencies against the direct

loans sanctioned/proposed to be sanctioned by them to Non-Resident Indians also.

However, banks should ensure that housing finance intermediary agencies being

financed by them, are authorised by RBI to grant housing loans to NRIs as all

agencies against the latters’ on-lending to NRIs will not be treated as housing

finance for the purpose of scheme of yearly allocation of housing finance applicable

to banks.

2.3 Term Loans to Private Builders

In view of the important role played by professional builders as providers of 

construction services in the housing field, especially where land is acquired

and developed by State Housing Boards and other public agencies,

commercial banks may extend credit to private builders on commercial terms

by way of loans linked to each specific project. However, the banks are not

permitted to extend fund based or non-fund based facilities to private

builders for acquisition of land even as part of a housing project. The period

of credit for loans extended by banks to private builders may be decided by

banks themselves based on their commercial judgment subject to usual

safeguards and after obtaining such security, as banks may deem

appropriate. Such credit may be extended to builders of repute, employing

professionally qualified personnel. It should be ensured, through close

monitoring, that no part of such funds is used for any speculation in land.

Care should also be taken to see that prices charged from the ultimate beneficiaries

do not include any speculative element, that is, prices should be based only on thedocumented price of land, the actual cost of construction and a reasonable profit

margin.

It is advised that banks adhere to the National Building Code (NBC)

formulated by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) in view of the importance

Projects undertaken by public sector entities which are not corporate bodies

(i.e. public sector undertakings which are not registered under Companies Act

or which are not Corporations established under the relevant statute) may not

be financed by banks. Even in respect of projects undertaken by corporate

bodies, as defined above, banks should satisfy themselves that the project is

run on commercial lines and that bank finance is not in lieu of or to substitute

budgetary resources envisaged for the project. The loan could, however,

supplement budgetary resources if such supplementing was contemplated in

the project design. Thus, in the case of a housing project, where the project is

run on commercial lines, and the Government is interested in promoting the

project either for the benefit of the weaker sections of the society or

otherwise, and a part of the project cost is met by the Government through

subsidies made available and/or contributions to the capital of the institutions

taking up the project, the bank finance should be restricted to an amount

arrived at after reducing from the total project cost the amount of 

subsidy/capital contribution receivable from the Government and any other

resources proposed to be made available by the Government.

Banks had, in the past, sanctioned term loans to Corporations set up by

Government like State Police Housing Corporation, for construction of 

residential quarters for allotment to employees where the loans were

envisaged to be repaid out of budgetary allocations. As these projects cannot

be considered to be run on commercial lines, it would not be in order for

banks to grant loans to such projects.

High-margin slum redevelopment projects

Slum redevelopment (SRA) does not involve upfront investment in land

compared to the conventional real estate projects. The cost per sq ft in slum

redevelopment projects is around Rs3,000/sq ft v/s Rs5,000–6,000/sq ft (including

land cost) on freehold land due to high property prices in Mumbai. Slum

redevelopment also has high entry barriers, as it requires expertise and experience

to deal with government agencies and slum dwellers regularly until the completion

of the project. In Mumbai, more than 54% of the population lives in slum clusters

situated in certain pockets of the city. A slum population of 7.5mn could translate

into 1.5mn families, with an average household size of five. This could translate into

SRA potential of 644mn sq ft and revenue potential of Rs2,000bn for redevelopers.

HDIL, the market leader in slum rehabilitation, is well poised to cash in on the

immense opportunity in the SRS segment. The company has executed close to

10mn sq ft of SRS projects in the last 15 years and is more competitive than other

developers in the fray. Thus, HDIL stands a good chance to win large SRA projects,

such as Dharavi—where rehab families could be of similar size to MIAL.

Execution of the airport project on track 

 The first phase of HDIL's MIAL project to rehabilitate 28,000 families is on

track and likely to get completed by September 2010, generating around 10mn sq

ft of TDR (Transfer Development Rights). The company will also get 2mn sq ft of FSI

for commercial development in the airport vicinity once the 28,000 families get

rehabilitated. We expect HDIL to sell 5mn–6mn sq ft of TDR annually over the next

five years on strong ongoing execution of the MIAL project, which will generate

further 37mn sq ft of TDR over the next 5–6 years. The MIAL project contributes

around 30% to our one-year forward NAV.

Rewarding new launches

During 1QFY2011, HDIL launched the first phase of The Meadows, Goregaon

West. The company sold 0.75mn sq ft in just two days of the launch. Further, the

company has launched the second phase of Premier, a 0.75mn sq ft residential

project in Kurla. HDIL has strategically deleveraged its business model by launching

various projects through the conventional route since March 2009, thereby reducing

its overdependence on the TDR market. The company has been able to pre-sell 75%

of its residential projects (5.7mn sq ft) launched since FY2009, thereby providing

Rs4,000cr of revenue visibility over FY2010–12E. HDIL has even managed to pre-

lease 20% of its commercial launches at its Andheri (Metropolis) project for

Rs140/sq ft. The company's recent launches have been successful on account of being launched at a 10–20% discount rate to prevailing market prices. Management

has indicated that it would adopt the same strategy for its forthcoming launches as

well. In FY2011, HDIL plans to launch new projects of 5mn–6mn sq ft, largely in

Mumbai (including Siddharth Nagar, Goregaon; Ekta Nagar, Kandivali; and Pant

Nagar, Ghatkopar).

Low acquisition cost

 The average cost of land is about Rs 200 per sq ft. Further, the land bank is

mainly situated in urban locations, where realizations are high.

Presence across all real estate segments

HDIL has three lines of business: (1) real estate development of residential,

commercial and retail projects; (2) slum rehabilitation and development; and (3)

land development including creation of infrastructure for sale for other developers.

Residential projects

Residential projects involve the construction of multi-storied apartment

buildings. HDIL also develops and construct township projects, which are self 

contained planned communities with mixed residential and commercial or retail

space.

Commercial projects

 These projects are medium-sized and mostly are targeted at established

financial and service sector companies. HDIL also build multiplexes, either as

standalone structures or within malls. After construction of a commercial project, it

generally sells the commercial space to individual buyers and retains no ownership

or management responsibilities.

De-risked business model

HDIL has a de-risked business model which balances its short-term and long

term project initiatives. It is present across all segments, residential, commercial,

retail and SRS projects. The company plans to develop 32 projects. Out of these, 21

are at various stages of completion. HDIL’s SRS projects are characterised by a

lower asset cycle risk as against its non-SRS projects, which involve a one-time

upfront payment for the land parcel.

Vasai-Virar SEZ

HDIL has announced plans to set up a 5,547-acre special economic zone (SEZ)

in the Vasai-Virar region near Mumbai. The company plans to set up a 2,500- acre

multi-product SEZ in the first phase. It has already received an in-principle approval

from the state for this development. To support this project, the company is also

planning to set up a power plant and a jetty for coal import.

Entertainment

HDIL has decided to enter the entertainment sector under the brand name

Broadway. HDIL will invest close to Rs 1,000 crore to fund its organic as well as

inorganic expansion in the country’s multiplex market. This new venture will offer

films through its multiplexes and will have a range of gaming centres with food

court that will be managed by Broadway. HDIL will set up its first Broadway theatre

in Vasai. This will be followed with the opening of the Broadway entertainment

centre at Kandivli shortly.

Recent developments

We believe the repeal of ULCRA would result in hastening of development

activity as developers would not need to go through the protracted process of 

getting NOCs (no-objection certificate). It also provides an increased opportunity for

developers ti tie-up with mill land owners in order to launch large projects as there

will no restriction on the land area.
