Investment Rationale
Extensive Land Reserves at low cost
Parsvnath Developers Ltd. (PDL) conducts its activities in 49 cities across 17 states in India The company has 210 mn. sq. ft. of land reserves, of which around 200 mn. sq. ft. (approximately 95 percent) are fully paid and have clear titles. For the balance 10 mn. sq. ft. around Rs700cr - Rs800cr of balance payment is to be made to various government authorities. The company's average land cost is around Rs195 per sq. ft. The company is being conservative in acquiring additional land. It is focusing on its strategy of execution and sale of existing land reserves. It prefers to acquire additional land only when they are available at reasonable prices.
Robust Business Model- PDL has de-risked its portfolio by diversifying across various cities and verticals:
- Residential: PDL's business model focuses on the development of large integrated townships (38% of land bank) where the average cost of houses range below Rs 40-50 lakhs. Residential demand is largely intact with funding arrangements in place and corporate demand for houses is also high in this segment. In the Tier 2 / Tier 3 cities and the Delhi region, where the company has a major portion of its land bank, the demand exceeds supply.In the event of a slowdown due to economic factors, PDL expects demand drivers to be affected for high value properties, i.e. above Rs40-50 lakhs. It can be seen that PDL is playing safe and has a conservative model.
- Retail: In the metro regions, demand matches supply, while only in outskirts there could be a problem of excess supply. PDL has all of its properties in the city regions making it a safe play.
- Commercial: Demand in this segment is strong. The introduction of REITs is likely to have a positive impact on this segment.
- DMRC- Earnings would also be supported with rentals from Delhi Metro, which are expected to start from early FY09. The company expects the annual rentals from Delhi Metro to reach Rs 325 crore by FY11.
Superior Execution abilities- Execution is one of the biggest challenges faced by realty companies. PDL plans to complete development of its total existing land bank of 210 mn. sq. ft. in the next 3-5 years. This may pose an execution risk in terms of raising adequate working capital and rising construction costs. We expect the company to meet this risk through its pre-selling model and in-house construction activities. Parsvnath has a policy of pre-selling approximately 30-40 percent of its projects which helps the company to meet its cash flow requirements for projects under development. Currently, the company has sold 35 mn. sq. ft. of its 76 mn. sq. ft. area under development. Its in-house construction activities help in keeping construction costs under control and deliver projects on time.
Realizations Outlook
For all future sells, PDL expects the selling price on an average to be around Rs3200 to Rs3500 per sq. ft. (Rs3000 in worst case scenario). The company's average land cost is around Rs195 per sq. ft. The company expects the total construction cost (including land cost), to be around Rs1400 to Rs1500 per sq. ft. after including the impact of hikes. Given that the average construction cost stays within Rs1500 per sq. ft., the comfort level is higher even in the worst case scenario.
Key Developments
In line with its foray into the hospitality sector, Parsvnath Developers Ltd has announced a joint venture between its subsidiary Parsvnath Hotels Ltd (PHL) and Royal Orchid Hotels Ltd (ROHL) to develop and manage hotels across the country. While PHL would hold majority stake of 70 per cent, ROHL would have 30 per cent stake in the joint venture. Royal Orchid Hotels would manage the hotels even as the joint venture company would own and develop these projects. The joint venture firm would operate under the name ‘Parsvnath Royal Orchid Hotels'.
Financial Performance

Industry Scenario
Indian real estate market is still at a nascent stage. It is expected to grow to a $50 bn industry by the year 2010, therefore even though it has gone up rapidly in past year there is still potential for massive upside in the coming years. We believe we are witnessing a structural bull run in the India real estate market owing to the well documented factors such as India being the second fastest growing economy, expanding service sector, rising purchasing power, faster urbanization, increasing Impact of IT/ITES and organized retail and improving regulatory framework.
Demand Drivers:
Growth in Residential Segment: 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 favorable tax incentives. The amount spent on new middle and higher income housing was Rs.1.72 trillion in fiscal 2005 and is expected to grow further at a CAGR of 18.6 percent over the subsequent five years to Rs.4.03 trillion in fiscal 2010.
IT/ITES growth: The phenomenal growth in the IT/ITES sector including BPO/Call centers is expected to continue and generate additional employment which will result in increased demand for commercial space. Based on the manpower/ workspace requirement in the IT/ITES sector, the growth in this sector is likely to translate into construction investments of Rs.148 billion (118 mn sq. ft.) by 2007-08 as compared with investments of Rs.74 billion (61 million sq. ft.) in the last 3 years.
Retail Demand: The Real Estate development in the retail segment has been growing rapidly. The increase in disposable incomes, demographic changes (such as the increasing number of working women who spend more, the rising number of nuclear families and higher income levels within the urban population), the change in the perception for branded products, the growth in retail malls, the entry of international players and the availability of easy finance will drive growth in the organized retail segment. It is expected that the boom in the retail sector will result in construction investments of Rs.112 billion over the next five years.
Multiplex Growth: Another growth booster for Real Estate activities is the growing demand for multiplex cinemas. Multiplexes typically have 250-400 seats per screen as against 800-1000 seats in a single screen theater which gives multiplex owners additional flexibility, enabling them to optimize capacity utilization. The Indian cinema industry is expected to reach approximately Rs.153 billion by 2010, contributing 25 percent to India's entertainment industry.
SEZ: Special Economic Zones are geographically defined enclaves established for the purpose of promoting exports and are deemed to be foreign territories for purposes of Indian custom controls, duties and tariffs. There are three main types of SEZs, namely, 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. SEZs, by virtue of their size, are expected to be a significant new source of Real Estate demand.
Hospitality Industry: The hospitality sector in India is witnessing robust growth, supported by India's growing economy as well as increased business travel and global tourism. Furthermore, the increase in disposable income among Indian workers coupled with rapidly changing lifestyles has increased demand for quality hotels and resorts across the country, it is estimated that investments in the hotel industry will aggregate approximately Rs.90 billion over the next five years.

Concerns & our views on them
Possibility of construction costs rising- Any increment in company's construction costs would impact the company's profitability. We have therefore factored an increment in construction costs with respect to raw material costs in our estimates.
Softening of prices- PDL believes that the demand is largely intact in its major markets and the prices on an average would remain in the Rs3200-Rs3500 range and Rs3000 in the worst case scenario. Given that the average construction cost stays within Rs1500 per sq. ft., the comfort level is higher even in the worst case scenario.
Timely execution of projects- PDL has presold approximately 35 mn. sq. ft. of its 76 mn. sq. ft. area under development. This enables timely availability of cash flows to meet working capital requirements. Moreover, PDL has an in-house construction team to keep costs in check and to deliver projects on time
Growth- The growth for the company in the coming years is likely to be fueled by the following factors:
· Expanding Footprints- The Company want to increase its presence to 20 states and 250 cities across India Its strategy is to enter untapped tier II and III duties thereby having the first mover advantage in terms of availability of land at low cost and availability of skilled manpower and resources. Rapidly increasing purchasing power and shifting of IT/ITES Company to smaller cities to cut cost is fueling demand for real estate in these cities.
· Leverage DMRC experience- Parsvnath has an agreement with DMRC for development of space at 13 stations and then leasing out developed space to retail tenants for 12-30 years. With the expansion of Metro Rail in Delhi and NCR region and development of Metro Rail in other major cities like Hydrabad, Chennai, Bangalore the company can leverage its experience of DMRC and bid for such projects. The company has also bagged contacts from BEST to develop a modern bus terminal and shopping malls at Kurla and Mahim bus stations in Mumbai.
