Future Growth Drivers

For the economy growing at the rate of 8 to 8.5 percent per annum, the demand for real estate continues to be buoyant. Simultaneously, the rapid growth of the Indian economy has had a cascading effect on demand for commercial property to help meet the needs of business, such as modern offices, warehouses, hotels and retail shopping centres. Growth in commercial office space requirement is led by the burgeoning outsourcing and information technology (IT) industry and organized retail. For example, IT and ITES alone is estimated to require 150 million sq ft across urban India by 2010. Similarly, the organized retail industry is likely to require an additional 220 million sq ft by 2010. Parsvnath Developers is also scouting for retail partner, the sector which will grow at a pace of 45 to 50 percent per annum. As per the government sponsored report by ICRIER, with increasing standard of living and continuous economic growth, the organized retail, which is a mere 4 per cent of total retail sector, is poised to grow at a much faster pace at 45-50 per cent per annum. This is expected to quadruple its share in total retail trade to 16 per cent by 2011-12.

With on going promotion for 17 SEZs across 8 different domains that include IT, Bio-technology, automotive, food processing etc. the company is poised to increase the top line. Parsvnath has presence in all major verticals of real estate and have plans to have its foothold in telecom and retail sector. The company intends to substantially increase its land bank from existing 211 million square feet by the end of this fiscal. The group is also in discussion to explore possibilities of a foreign collaboration to set up various retail formats in India.

Parsvnath Developers Limited was the first real estate company to apply for telecom license for 22 circles. The application was rejected by MoT on certain technical grounds, however the company has filed a writ petition before the Honorable Delhi High Court and it is hopeful of succession in its petition. Parsvnath intends to offer convergence to its customers in the business portfolio. Having a pan-India presence it is rational for Parsvnath to enter the field of telecom (and eventually convergence) to serve the captive clients in Parsvnath projects and others around these.
