BUSINESS REVIEW

Urban Integrated Infrastructure

Special Economic Zones (SEZs)-Sector Overview:

The SEZ Industry in India is facing grave challenges for last few years. Govt. of India (GoI) has withdrawn key tax benefits (earlier available) which have made SEZ a difficult business proposition. In addition to this, Maharashtra SEZ Act which provides State level fiscal benefits has been pending enactment since long. Govt of Maharashtra (GoM) had recognized the serious difficulties faced by SEZ in Maharashtra and had allowed SEZ to exit and move towards being developed into Integrated Industrial Area (IIA). GoM has appointed a committee to look in to the modalities for conversion from SEZ to IIA. Their report is still awaited.

Jai Corp is a stakeholder in entities developing SEZs in Maharashtra.

I- Navi Mumbai SEZ Private Limited (NMSEZ) Performance Overview:

NMSEZ has commenced horizontal and vertical development of SEZ in a phased manner. NMSEZ is facing demand constraints due to worldwide recession and financial crisis in many European countries. The Maharashtra SEZ Act had been introduced in the Maharashtra Legislature, but is awaiting enactment since quite some time. GoM has indicated that pending enactment of Maharashtra SEZ Act, they may announce and make effective a new SEZ policy. In the absence of fiscal incentives in the State, it is not very easy to attract the units in the SEZ. The withdrawal of key tax benefits by GoI have made SEZs less attractive. GoM has, in its Industrial Policy of 2013 subject to certain terms and conditions, allowed SEZ to exit and move towards being developed as Integrated Industrial Area. NMSEZ is in discussion with its Joint Venture Partner CIDCO to continue developing SEZ and at same time keep option open to develop Integrated Industrial Area depending upon demand from Industry and Services. The company has been obtaining validity extension from Board of Approval for its various SEZs from time to time.

II- Mumbai SEZ Limited (MSEZ) Performance Overview:

MSEZ has acquired land in Uran, Pen and Panvel areas in the state of Maharashtra. So far, consent award and sale deeds have been executed for around 4,600 acres. The subject land is not contiguous. The new Land Acquisition Act which has been notified in January, 2014 makes it difficult to buy land for contiguity. MSEZ is in discussion with GoM on way forward. MSEZ is also awaiting further amendment to Land Acquisition Act.

III- Rewas Ports Limited (RPL) Performance Overview:

All statutory approvals have been obtained. RPL has signed the lease deed for 839 hectares (Ha) of inter tidal land. The Government land of about 167 hectares has been transferred by the Government of Maharashtra to Maharashtra Maritime Board. RPL will sign the lease deed for the same at the time of financial closure. RPL has been in discussions with Indian Railways and Government of Maharashtra in order to firm up the rail and road connectivity of the port with the hinter land, but progress has been slow. RPL has been persistently working to resolve the issue related to right of way from Mumbai Port Trust, but process is slow.

Real Estate Sector Overview:

As per data available from the Ministry of Urban Development website: "In India out of the total population of 1210.2 million as on 1st March, 2011, about 377.1 million are in urban areas. The net addition of population in urban areas over the last decade is 91.0 million.

The percentage of urban population to the total population of the country stands at 31.6. There has been an increase 3.35 percentage points in the proportion of urban population in the country during 2001-2011.

The provisional results of Census 2011 reveals that there is an increase of 2774 towns comprising 242 Statutory and 2532 Census towns over the decade. Growth rate of population in urban areas was 31.8%."

The Finance Minister in his budget speech stated - "... A step was taken in the last Budget to encourage Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and Infrastructure Investments Trusts (InvITs) by providing partial pass through to them. These collective investment vehicles have an important role to revive construction activity. A large quantum of funds is locked up in various completed projects which need to be released to facilitate new infrastructure projects to take off. I therefore propose to rationalise the capital gains regime for the sponsors exiting at the time of listing of the units of REITs and InvITs, subject to payment of Securities Transaction Tax (STT). The rental income of REITs from their own assets will have pass through facility."

With these initiatives, it is expected that stage is set for the real estate sector to enter into a new growth phase.

Performance Overview:

Certain subsidiaries of Jai Corp have acquired land. The same may be consolidated for the purpose of development subject to the applicable legislations at that point of time. The Company is of the view that any brsumed fall in the current valuation of land held by some of the subsidiary companies is a temporary phenomenon. These are long-term investments and in the course of time are expected to realise their fair value.

Asset Management Sector Overview:

Private Equity (PE) investments in India saw a robust increase in 2014 over 2013. Deal value, including real estate, infrastructure and venture capital (VC) deals, increased by 28% to $15.2 billion—inching closer to 2007 peak levels of $17.1 billion.

In 2015, PE firms plan to increase their focus on fund-raising, and they cite track record, team expertise and exit success as the most important factors in this regard. Yet, when it comes to raising India-focused funds, PE firms remain challenged by the regulatory environment, macroeconomic uncertainties such as currency and inflation, and the longer gestation period for investments. However, the majority still expect more fruitful fund-raising in 2015 by the PE Funds than in past years.

SEBI has brought all kind of pooled investments under the Alternative Investment Funds (AIF) Regulations and thereby bringing more transparency and accountability in the functioning of the alternate asset industry. It is expected that the new regulations will provide a more conducive environment to the growth of the industry. Since the new AIF Regulations, 135 funds have already registered themselves as AIF. As on 31st March, 2015 the funds raised by category I, II, III of the AIF amounted to Rs. 9,504 crore and the investment made till 31st March, 2015 were Rs. 7,356 crore.

Realty funds are still upbeat despite sluggish demand for new houses Even as both housing sales and demand are down, AIFs are getting active in that most funds are betting on the long-term Investment potential in the sector rather than short term exit horizons. While a Knight Frank report notes that housing sales had dropped by 17 per cent across six cities with National Capital Region seeing the sharpest drop in home sales, a CBRE report also doesn't paint a rosy picture of the sector, stating that residential sales declined by approximately 30 per cent yera-on-year by the end of 2014 in the seven leading cities of the country, largely due to high price points, sticky interest rates and cautious buyer sentiments. The general slackness in residential sales was primarily triggered by the Affordability Index sliding in certain cities, it added. Real estate funds are, however, bullish on the long-term potential.

Our Business:

Jai Corp is brsent in this industry through its wholly owned subsidiary - Urban Infrastructure Venture Capital Limited (UIVCL), a venture capital management company. UIVCL is the manager to Urban Infrastructure Opportunities Fund (UIOF), a scheme of Urban Infrastructure Venture Capital Fund (UIVCF), a SEBI registered fund. UIOF is a close ended India domiciled venture capital fund having raised a corpus of approximately Rs. 2,434 crore.

UIVCL, is also Indian advisor to Urban Infrastructure Capital Advisors (UICA), investment manager to India focused real estate fund Urban Infrastructure Real Estate Fund (UIREF), having a total capital commitment of $ 250 million.

The investments of these Funds' are focused on large townships and mixed-use development projects in Tier-I and Tier-II cities of western and southern India. These Funds have invested in 26 special purpose vehicles sbrad across 12 cities of India.

Performance Overview:

The tenure of UIOF originally got completed in June 2013. However, the Trustees based on the recommendation of UIVCL have extended the tenure for two further periods of one (1) year each till June, 2015. Further the Trustees have extended the tenure of the Fund with the consent of the majority of the Investors till 31st December, 2016 in order to facilitate the exit of the investments made by the Fund in the SPVs. Post the exit of the investments, the Fund will be wound-up. UIOF has refunded till 31st March 2015 Rs. 621 crore to its contributors by way of repurchase of units and return of capital/profits.

In FY 2014-15, UIVCL earned an income of Rs. 26.72 crore and profit after tax of Rs. 6.13 crore. The reduction in the revenue and profit is on account of the non-charging of the Investment Management fees w.e.f. July, 2014.
