OUTLOOK FOR THE YEAR 2012-13.

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth likely to be 6.9% for 2011-12. Going forward into 2012-13, assuming a normal monsoon, agricultural growth could stay close to the trend level, the overall domestic growth outlook for 2012-13 looks a little better than in 2011-12 and the baseline GDP growth for 2012-13 is projected at 7.3% by Reserve Bank of India. (Source: Reserve Bank of India Monetary Policy Statement 2012-13/April 17, 2012.),The projected growth for the 2012-13 is reasonably at a good level for the emerging economies like us.

Housing is a basic need that provides a place "home" to the individual and is a valuable asset which can enable him to access credit from the financial market. India is witnessing increasing levels of urban population. India's urban population is expected to increase from 400 million in 2011 to about 600 million or more by 2030 (Source: Issues for approach to 12th Five year Plan - Planning Commission). Nearly 30% of the country's population lives in cities and urban areas. Within the urban population, there is a rapidly growing informal sector whose ability to borrow from the formal sector is not adequately recognized. Mortgage penetration levels mortgage loans as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) which is around 7.25% of India's GDP only compared with China (12 per cent), Thailand (17 per cent) and Malaysia (29 per cent) (Source: Report on trend and progress of Housing in India 2011 by National Housing Bank). Hence there is lot of scope for Housing Finance industry to penetrate and grow. An effective housing finance system improves affordability through institutional and product innovation. Availability of long term housing loans enables the individuals a greater flexibility in allocating their savings and other sources across their different needs.

Government of India in its Budget for the year 2012-13 extended the scheme of interest subvention of 1% on housing loans up to Rs.15,00,000 where the cost of the house does not exceed Rs. 25,00,000 for period of one more year is a welcome measure; which gives relief to the home loan borrowers of eligible category. In the said Budget to address the shortage of housing for low income groups, proposal is also announced for allowing "External Commercial Borrowings" for low cost housing projects.

In the first month of the current quarter of the financial year 2012-13, we have witnessed a positive trigger for growth; Reserve Bank of India announcing 50 basis points reduction in "repo rate". Majority of the Banks have announced reduction in their "Base Lending Rate" which will give your Company a marginal relief in cost of borrowing. The inflationary pressures, which started moderating from March, 2012 are again showing upward trend, especially in food prices, is a worrying factor. However, with the forecast of "normal monsoon" for the current year, which will boost the prospects of farm production, we expect the inflationary pressures to come down earliest and with interest rates moderating, your Company is expecting to maintain the momentum in loan disbursements in the financial year 2012-13.

OUTLOOK FOR THE YEAR 2011-12

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth likely to average 8.2% over the 11th Plan period i.e. from 2007 to 2012 which is remarkable given the present global crisis. GDP is expected to grow by 9% during the 12th Plan period i.e. from 2012 to 2017. Indias urban population is expected to increase from 400 million in 2011 to about 600 million or more by 2030 (Source: Issues for approach to 12th Five year Plan - Planning Commission) With changing socio demographic factors like nuclearisation, urbanization and shifting population in the lower age bracket would still drive underlying asset demand and growth in the housing finance market. Housing being one of the low risk asset classes for financiers would continue to be the major contributor for their retail lending portfolio. The year 2011-12 will be more challenging year for Housing Finance Companies and Banks, due to raising interest rates and peaking of property rates; affecting the affordability of the individuals. However, taking into consideration the continuation of concessions allowed in the income tax for repayment of principal and interest up to specified limit; the net interest burden will be still within the affordable limits and as a result the demand is expected to continue.

Your Company would continue to give a more and focused attention to lending to individual loan segment keeping in view the encouragement received in the form of enhanced business performance during the year under review. Various strategies are put in place to enhance its marketing share in the housing loan segment. Your Company is expecting a significant improvement in business performance for the year 2011-12. However, given the situation of increase in interest rates resulting in increase in the cost of funds, the margins are expected to be under pressure
