particular, fatalities may have an adverse impact on Our Company’s reputation and may result in fines
and/or investigations by public authorities as well as litigation from injured workers or their dependants.
63.
The success of Our Company’s residential and commercial development business is dependent on its
ability to anticipate and respond to consumer requirements.
The changing lifestyle and growing disposable income has resulted in a substantial change in the nature of
demands in this sector. Increasingly, consumers are seeking better amenities in new residential and
commercial developments. Our Company’s focus on the development of high quality luxury residential
accommodation and commercial premises requires Our Company to satisfy demanding consumer
expectations including 24-hour electricity and running water and amenities such as parking, gardens, fitness
centre, etc. If Our Company fails to anticipate and respond to consumer requirements, it could lose potential
clients to competitors, which in turn could adversely affect Our Company’s business and prospects.
B. EXTERNAL RISKS
64.
Our Company’s growth is dependent on the Indian economy.
Our Company’s performance and the growth of our business are dependent on the performance of the
Indian economy. India’s economy could be adversely affected by a general rise in interest rates, currency
exchange rates, adverse conditions affecting food and agriculture, commodity and electricity prices or
various other factors. A slowdown in the Indian economy could adversely affect its business, including its
ability to implement its strategy. The Indian economy is currently in a state of transition and it is difficult to
predict the impact of certain fundamental economic changes upon Our Company’s business. Conditions
outside India, such as slowdowns in the economic growth of other countries or increases in the price of oil,
have an impact on the growth of the Indian economy and government policy may change in response to
such conditions. While recent governments have been keen on encouraging private participation in the
industrial sector, any adverse change in policy could result in a slowdown of the Indian economy.
Additionally, these policies will need continued support from stable regulatory regimes that stimulate and
encourage the investment of private capital into industrial development. Any downturn in the
macroeconomic environment in India could adversely affect the price of Our Company’s Equity Shares, its
business and results of operations.
65.
The extent and reliability of Indian infrastructure could adversely affect Our Company’s results of
operations and financial condition.
India’s physical infrastructure is less developed than that of many developed nations. Any congestion or
disruption in its port, rail and road networks, electricity grid, communication systems or any other public
facility could disrupt Our Company’s normal business activity. Any deterioration of India’s physical
infrastructure would harm the national economy, disrupt the transportation of goods and supplies, and add
costs to doing business in India. These problems could interrupt Our Company’s business operations, which
could have an adverse effect on its results of operations and financial condition.
66.
Instability in financial markets could materially and adversely affect Our Company’s results of
operations and financial condition.
The Indian economy and financial markets are significantly influenced by worldwide economic, financial
and market conditions. Any financial turmoil, especially in the United States of America, Europe, Japan or
China, may have a negative impact on the Indian economy. Although economic conditions differ in each
country, investors’ reactions to any significant developments in one country can have adverse effects on the
financial and market conditions in other countries. A loss in investor confidence in the financial systems,
particularly in other emerging markets, may cause increased volatility in Indian financial markets. Any
prolonged financial crisis may have an adverse impact on the Indian economy, thereby resulting in a
material and adverse effect on Our Company’s business, operations, financial condition, profitability and
price of its Equity Shares.
32
67.
Terrorist attacks, civil disturbances, regional conflicts and other acts of violence in India and abroad
may disrupt or otherwise adversely affect Our Company’s business and its profitability.
Certain events that are beyond the control of Our Company, such as terrorist attacks and other acts of
violence or war, including those involving India, the United Kingdom, the United States or other countries,
may adversely affect worldwide financial markets and could potentially lead to a severe economic
recession, which could adversely affect Our Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition
and cash flows, and more generally, any of these events could lower confidence in India’s economy.
Southern Asia has, from time to time, experienced instances of civil unrest and political tensions and
hostilities among neighboring countries, including India, Pakistan and China. Political tensions could create
a perception that there is a risk of disruption of services provided by India based companies, which could
have an adverse effect on Our Company’s business, future financial performance and price of the Equity
Shares. Furthermore, if India were to become engaged in armed hostilities, particularly hostilities that are
protracted or involve the threat or use of nuclear weapons, the Company's operations might be significantly
affected. India has from time to time experienced social and civil unrest and hostilities, including riots,
regional conflicts and other acts of violence. Events of this nature in the future could have a material
adverse effect on Our Company’s ability to develop its business. As a result, Our Company’s business,
results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.
68.
Conditions in the Indian securities market may affect the price or liquidity of the Equity Shares.
The Indian securities markets are smaller than securities markets in more developed economies. Indian
stock exchanges have in the past experienced substantial fluctuations in the prices of listed securities. These
exchanges have also experienced problems that have affected the market price and liquidity of the securities
of Indian companies, such as temporary exchange closures, broker defaults, settlement delays and strikes by
brokers. In addition, the governing bodies of the Indian stock exchanges have from time to time restricted
securities from trading, limited price movements and restricted margin requirements. Further, disputes have
occurred on occasion between listed companies and the Indian stock exchanges and other regulatory bodies
that, in some cases, have had a negative effect on market sentiment. If similar problems occur in the future,
the market price and liquidity of the Equity Shares could be adversely affected.
69.
Political instability or a change in economic liberalization and deregulation policies could seriously
harm business and economic conditions in India generally and business of Our Company in particular.
The Government has traditionally exercised and continues to exercise influence over many aspects of the
economy. Our Company’s business and the market price and liquidity of its Equity Shares may be affected
by interest rates, changes in Government policy, taxation, social and civil unrest and other political,
economic or other developments in or affecting India. The Government of India has in recent years sought
to implement economic reforms and the current government has implemented policies and undertaken
initiatives that continue the economic liberalization policies pursued by previous governments. There can be
no assurance that liberalization policies will continue in the future. The rate of economic liberalization
could change, and specific laws and policies affecting power or real estate sector, foreign investment and
other matters affecting investment in Our Company’s securities could change as well. A change in the
Government pursuant to ongoing elections may result in significant change in the Government policies in
the future. Any significant change in such liberalization and deregulation policies could adversely affect
business and economic conditions in India, generally, and Our Company’s results of operations and
financial condition, in particular.
70.
Natural calamities could have a negative impact on the Indian economy which may have an adverse
affect on Our Company’s business and results of operations.
India has experienced floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, cyclones and droughts in recent years. Such natural
catastrophes could disrupt Our Company’s operations. For example in December 2004, Southeast Asia,
including the eastern coast of India, experienced a tsunami and in October 2005, the State of Jammu and
Kashmir experienced an earthquake, both of which caused significant loss of life and property damage. Our
Company cannot assure the prospective investors that such events will not occur in the future or that its
results of operations and financial condition will not be adversely affected.
