operations / state of the companyâs affairs

The macro-economic environment in India during 2016 - 17 showed a moderate decline. According to the provisional estimates released by the Central Statistics Office, Indiaâs Gross Value Added (GVA) growth for 2016-17 is pegged at 6.6 per cent, compared to 7.9 per cent in the previous year. On the positive side, the impact of demonetization on economic activity was not as pronounced over a longer period of time as was initially envisaged and economic activity showed some improvement towards the end of the year. As far as the real estate sector is concerned, while the overall demand situation remained muted during the first half of the year, the same was further impacted during the November to January period. However, since then, enquiry levels improved, which if sustained can help improve the overall demand situation.

In the residential segment, the Company, along with its subsidiaries, sold 889 residential units aggregating 0.95 million square feet of saleable area in 2016-17. Construction activity was completed in six phases across three of its projects aggregating 0.93 million square feet during 2016-17, and taking the completed area to over 4.2 million square feet in the last two years. This also meant a significant increase in handovers. The Company handed over 2,254 units to its customers in 2016-17, almost three-times the 823 units handed over in the previous year.

In the integrated cities and the industrial clusters segment, over 75 acres of land leases were concluded during the year across the two operational World Cities in Jaipur and Chennai, compared to 29 acres in 2015-16. The Company expects to further benefit from the ability to market to a wider customer base at Jaipur upon conversion of the sector-specific SEZs into a multi-product SEZ. In addition, it is gearing up to launch two new industrial clusters near Chennai and Ahmedabad â in line with its strategy for growth in this segment.

Affordable housing continues to be an important growth area for the Company. Learningâs from its two pilot projects at Avadi and Boisar have enabled the Company to structure a standardized model that can be scalable. The outlook in the affordable housing space is promising, especially with recent developments on the government policies front driven by the agenda of âHousing for Allâ.

OPERATIONS / STATE OF THE COMPANY''S AFFAIRS

In a subdued global economic environment, and the ongoing slowdown in China, India''s macroeconomic performance remained stable
during financial year 2015-16. According to the advance estimates released by the Central Statistical Organization (CSO), India''s
GDP growth is expected to be 7.6 per cent in financial year 2015-16, marginally higher than 7.2 per cent recorded in the previous
year.

An equally important aspect was the stability in retail inflation around 5 per cent mark, which allowed the RBI to continue with
its accommodative policy stance. However, the rate cuts to the tune of 100 basis points during the year did not translate into
desired reduction in lending rates. Consequently, the improvements in business and consumer confidence during the year were weak.
As far as the real estate industry is concerned, the overall performance continued to be subdued â housing prices, rents and off
take of housing loans continued to be sluggish during the year.

The Company''s performance needs to be evaluated in the context of this Industry Environment.

In the residential segment, the Company sold over 1,000 residential units aggregating to 1.16 million square feet of saleable
area in 2015-16 across its ongoing and newly launched projects, including projects of its subsidiary companies. The Company
launched two new projects â ''Vivante'' and ''Wind chimes'', marking its entry in the Bangalore market with the latter. In addition,
fresh inventory in four of its existing projects was also launched during the year.

In the large format developments, the Company''s subsidiary Mahindra World City Developers Limited (MWCDL) signed a JV Agreement
with Sumitomo Corporation, Japan to develop an industrial park in North Chennai on the NH-5 (Chennai â Kolkata highway). The
first phase of the project of approximately 300 acres will be implemented by Mahindra Industrial Park Chennai Limited (MIPCL), a
60:40 JV between MWCDL and Sumitomo Corporation, respectively.

The consolidated total income of your Company decreased from Rs, 114,757 lakhss in 2014-15 to Rs, 87,743 in 2015-16. The
consolidated Profit before tax (PBT) stood at Rs,14,745 lakh in 2015-16 as compared to Rs,42,102 lakhs in 2014-15, whereas the
consolidated Profit after tax and minority interest (PAT) was Rs, 9,309 lakhs in 2015-16 as compared to Rs,26,620 lakhs during
2014-15. This Performance of the Company over the previous year needs to be looked in the context of the land sale transaction in
respect of a delayed project in Mumbai, which contributed Rs,268 crore to the total income and Rs,245 crore to the Profit before
tax (PBT) during 2014-15.

Total income of your Company as a standalone entity was Rs, 60,015 Lakh as compared to Rs,76,003 lakh in 2014-15. PBT was
Rs,14,174 as compared to Rs,33,771 lakhs in 2014- 15, whereas PAT was Rs, 10,449 as compared to Rs, 23,330 lakhs in 2014-15.
Total income includes dividend income of Rs,629 Lakhs and Rs,178 Lakhs received from its subsidiaries Mahindra World City
(Jaipur) Limited and Mahindra World City Developers Limited, respectively, as compared to Rs,727 lakhs received from its
subsidiary Mahindra World City Developers Limited, Rs,740 lakhs received from its subsidiary Mahindra World City (Jaipur) Limited
and Rs,740 lakhs received from its subsidiary Mahindra Integrated Township Limited in 2014-15.

No material changes and commitments have occurred after the close of the year till the close of this Report, which affects the
financial position of the Company.

This deceleration in growth was seen across all key sectors.

Although the Industry sector on the whole registered a decline, the construction sector, which is the second largest segment of Industry after manufacturing, was a contrast in performance

Â growing at a marginally higher 5.9 per cent during 2012-13 as compared to 5.6 per cent during 2011-12. However, this performance continues to be significantly lower than the high growth seen in the years preceding the slowdown.

Even as the real estate industry operated in a difficult economic environment, your Company''s focus on execution in the residential segment, coupled with strong sales momentum and new customer additions in Mahindra World City Chennai and Jaipur, have contributed to the robust performance this year.

The consolidated total income of your Company increased from Rs. 72,841 lakh in 2011-12 to Rs. 77,249 lakh in 2012-13.

Operations

The global economy gathered strength during the year, with significant improvements in output, trade and capital flows and business and consumer sentiment. World output grew at 5 per cent during 2010, after contracting by 0.5 per cent during 2009. The Indian economy, too, grew at an impressive rate. According to the latest estimates released by the Central Statistical Organisation (CSO), Indias GDP grew at 8.5 per cent in 2010-11, up from 8 per cent during the previous year. All sectors contributed to this performance. Industry and services grew at 9.4 per cent and 7.9 per cent respectively during 2010-11. The performance of

the construction sector, which is the second largest segment of industry after manufacturing, also improved during the year Ã recording a growth of 8.1 per cent during 2010-11 as compared to 7 per cent during 2009-10.

Driven by this strong economic performance, demand for both residential units and industrial land increased during 2010-11. In the residential segment, most markets witnessed significant growth in demand and firming-up of prices. Although muted in comparison, the demand from businesses for building capacities and expanding operations, which had started gathering momentum towards the end of the previous year, also increased at a satisfactory pace during 2010-11. Your Company has benefited from the strategy of focusing on these two key segments of operations.

In the residential segment, the focus will be on offering new products in the premium and mid-market segments, which will be complemented by enhancing the Companys presence by moving to new towns and cities. During the year under review, the residential segment continued to drive the Companys performance. The Company completed two of its projects: ÃMahindra Chloris in Faridabad in the National Capital Region (NCR) and Phase III of ÃMahindra Royale in Pimpri, Pune. The handing over process of these projects has been initiated Your Company successfully launched new phases of ÃMahindra Eminente in Mumbai and ÃMahindra Aura in NCR. In addition, the

Company also launched a new project at Mahindra World City, New Chennai, viz.; ÃIris Court through its subsidiary company, Mahindra Integrated Township Limited.

In the integrated development space, your Company will strive to maintain its pioneer and innovator status with new concepts and flexible formats. Both operational projects of your Company witnessed significant increase in activity during this period. Mahindra World City, Jaipur and Chennai, have both concluded many lease agreements with customers during this period. Besides, many customers have started development and construction work in their leased land.

Mahindra World City (Jaipur) Limited (MWCJL), a subsidiary of your Company received formal approval for two more Special Economic Zones (SEZs), namely Gems and Jewellery and IT/ ITeS during the year. MWCJL also received environmental clearance for three SEZs, namely IT/ITeS, Light Engineering and Handicrafts. In the future, MWCJL has plans to expand the coverage of the project to include other segments such as Apparel and Logistics. Employment at Mahindra World City, Jaipur, touched 2,800 with a total investment of more than Rs. 890 crore by the Company and its customers. Three of the 39 customers at Mahindra World City, Jaipur are operational and other 11 customers have commenced construction.

At Mahindra World City, Chennai, employment by operational customers increased from 18,000 to 23,000 people. Exports also increased significantly during the year to Rs.3,500 crore from Rs.2,300 crore in the previous year. Buoyed by interest from prospective customers, the Company is looking to expand the project by another 100 acres, for which almost all of the land is already in place and certain approvals are awaited. The expansion will be in the Domestic Tariff Area, with focus on manufacturing companies catering to the Indian market. There has been strong interest from leading multi-national companies to take-up this additional space. Mahindra World City Developers Limited (MWCDL), a subsidiary of your Company has already signed MoUs with multi-national companies from Japan, US and Ireland in the auto ancillary sector for around 50 per cent of the proposed expansion area.

Apart from the current two World Cities, the Company is in various stages of planning and land acquisition for other large format projects in Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra. During the year, your Company also entered into two MoUs with the Government of Gujarat at the ÃVibrant Gujarat Summit, marking its foray into the State. The first MoU is for the development of a 3,000 acres integrated business city, along the lines of the existing Mahindra World City format, at Dholera Special Investment Region, located in the proposed Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor. The second MoU is for the development of an industrial park of around 500 acres close to Ahmedabad.

Today, your Company is one of the few companies in the real estate development industry in India with the experience of successfully serving consumers as well as businesses through its two segments of operations. With a buoyant residential market and an improved investment climate in the integrated development space, the Company reported excellent results for 2010-11.

Operations

The global economic situation improved as the year progressed, however, recovery in advanced countries continued to be very sluggish. In contrast, the Indian economy performed better. According to the advance estimates released by the Central Statistical Organisation(CSO), IndiaÃs GDP is expected to grow at 7.4 per cent in 2009-10, up from 6.7 per cent during the previous year. While services continued to be the engine of growth, the most significant development has been the rebound in industry growth which was at 3.9 per cent in 2008-09 whereas it recorded 9.3 per cent growth in 2009-10. Industry, which includes manufacturing, construction, mining, electricity and other utilities, was the most affected sector during recession.

During the year, as the economic recovery got underway, consumer sentiment and therefore the demand for residential units picked up at a significant pace. In comparison, the demand from businesses for building capacities and expanding operations was sluggish and started gathering momentum in the second half of 2009-10. Mahindra Lifespaces recognises the importance of this structure of the real estate industry and has consciously adopted a strategy which focuses on two key segments of operations Ã residential development and large format integrated infrastructure development such as business cities, industrial parks and SEZs. Your Company benefited from this strategy during 2009-10.

During the year under review, the residential segment led the CompanyÃs performance. Your Company completed the handover of residential units to customers in three of its projects Ã the second phase of ÃSylvan CountyÃ at Mahindra World City, Chennai, the first two phases of ÃMahindra RoyaleÃ near Pimpri, Pune and the first phase of ÃMahindra EminenteÃ at Goregaon, Mumbai. Your Company also successfully launched new phases of ÃMahindra RoyaleÃ and ÃMahindra EminenteÃ projects during 2009-10. In addition, the Company also launched two new projects during the year Ã ÃMahindra AuraÃ at Gurgaon in the National Capital Region, and ÃAqualilyÃ at Mahindra World City, Chennai. Aqualily is being implemented by the Company through its subsidiary ÃMahindra Residential Developers LimitedÃ (MRDL), which is a Joint Venture with Arch Capital, an affiliate of Ayala Land, the largest and most trusted real estate brand in Philippines.

In the integrated infrastructure development space, recovery was delayed and the markets started to pick-up in the second half of the year. Both operational projects of your Company witnessed significant increase in activity during this period. In Mahindra World City, Jaipur, the infrastructure development for the first phase of the IT SEZ was completed during the year, whereas the infrastructure development activities in Handicraft and Light Engineering SEZs are expected to be completed during 2010-11. The Company entered into MoUs with prospective clients and concluded many lease agreements during this period.

At Mahindra World City, Chennai employment by companies operating within, touched the 20,000 mark. Buoyed by interest from prospective customers, the Company proposes to expand the project by another 100 acres and undertook land acquisition during the year, which is expected to be completed during 2010-11.

Your Company is one of the few companies in the Indian real estate industry with the experience of successful serving consumers as well as businesses through its two segments of operations. The successful execution of this strategic intent of the Company is the key reason behind its success and consistent performance during these difficult times. In the current economic environment, your Company reported exceptional results for 2009-10.

Total income of your Company as a standalone entity was Rs.34,964 lakh in 2009-10 as compared to Rs.19,794 lakh in 2008-09. Profit before tax (PBT) was Rs.10,750 lakh in 2009- 10 as compared to Rs.5,777 lakh in 2008-09, whereas profit after tax (PAT) was Rs.7,938 lakh as compared to Rs.4,636 lakh in 2008-09.

The consolidated total income of your Company increased from Rs.37,118 lakh in 2008-09 to Rs.43,995 lakh in 2009-10. The consolidated PBT grew by 16 per cent from Rs.10,209 lakh in 2008-09 to Rs.11,888 lakh in 2009-10, whereas consolidated PAT after minority interest increased to Rs.7,849 lakh from Rs.6,564 lakh during 2008-09. During the year, the Company also received a dividend income of Rs.588 lakh from its subsidiary Mahindra World City Developers Limited.

During the year 2008-09, MSEDCL had raised an assessment bill for Rs.2164 lakh on the Company pertaining to a commercial complex at Pune. The Company has filed an appeal before Adjudicating Officer at Mumbai for quashing the said demand.

In respect of certain business incomes re-classified by the Income Tax Department as income from house property and other disallowances, the Company has succeeded at the
