    See page 13 for analyst certification and important disclosures, including non-US analyst disclosures.J.P. Morgan does and seeks to do business with companies covered in its research reports. As a result, investors should be aware ththe firm may have a conflict of interest that could affect the objectivity of this report. Investors should consider this report as only a singfactor in making their investment decision.

    Property stocks in their limited trading history in India have reacted tovolumes and not pricing. With physical prices at peak and stocks near

    Lehman valuation lows, we see a potential for this anomaly to reverse.Affordability calculations show that if mortgage rates come down by50bps and prices by 15%, mortgage payment/income levels will go back to

    2009 (recovery) levels across markets, thus improving volumes. We see

    both of these as plausible events unfolding through this year. However, as

    history shows, its best to wait for volumes to recover on an anecdotalbasis first and then buy stocks later, rather than guessing it in advance.We move into CY 12 with DLF, Phoenix and Prestige as our top picks.

    Volumes returning Or are we just reading in too much? Of late price

    competitive launches (Prestige Tranquility, DLF Bangalore, SunteckGoregaon, Airoli) seem to have garnered good offtake. A broad basedcorrection isnt underway yet though in overheated micro markets (esp.Mumbai) pricing has taken a hit. Given repayment overhang & growthhunger, we think developers are slowly adopting to a more pragmaticapproach. For ready-to-move in inventory, we see limited pricing downsidegiven constrained supply. However, we think new launched inventory needsto correct by 15-20% to entice end users/investors from a risk rewardperspective.

    Key market calls for 2012: We see Mumbai as a potential dark horsegiven pent up demand building through last 14 months. Notification of newbuilding code norms and price discounting (which is underway) combined

    with rate cuts could lead to improvement in volumes from a low base. Weexpect Bangalore will continue with its good run though growth rates maymoderate at the margin. NCR, however, may be sluggish given bunching upof large deliveries which might lead to action shifting to the secondarymarket. Office demand, in our view, is likely to be subdued, as thatsegment lags macro recovery. Our outlook for retail malls remainsconstructive as seen in occupancies of newly completed properties thoughrentals might not be able to move up meaningfully.

    Key stocks for CY12: We continue to stick to our framework of pickingstocks with (1) Low level of associated regulatory/political risks, (2) Abilityto raise financing in a constrained market, and (3) Prime land holdingscoupled with (4) Reasonable valuations. On this framework, DLF (debt

    reduction)/ Phoenix (asset stabilization) and Prestige (strong presales)come out well and are our top picks. We believe IBREL is cheap butneeds confidence on group to improve which may take time. HDIL is on ourwatch list as a candidate for potential maximum improvement infundamentals, as traction can build up meaningfully in a short period of timearound the airport project and debt repayment issues in FY13.

    Key stock picks

    In the current backdrop, our preference is for companies that offer high absolute

    valuation upside with lower concomitant regulatory/credit risks. We rate the stockson four parameters viz. Valuations (current & relative to GFC), Exposure toregulatory/ political risks, ability to withstand a credit crunch (given the experienceof 2008, past track record and current cash flows) and visible share price catalysts.Our risk reward framework here places an equal emphasis on risks (regulation /credit) relative to reward (valuations / catalysts).

    Within this framework, DLF, PEPL and Phoenix emerge as our top picks. Theseare companies which, we believe, offer the best risk reward balance with near termshare price catalysts, prime on book assets, high annuity streams and where we donot see any stress on credit profile.

    a) DLF/ Debt Reduction- Progress on debt reduction driven by non core asset

    sales remains the key stock catalyst. Recent announcements point to a

    decent traction on the same with closure of Rs20B worth of transactions

    over the last 6 months. Progress on sale of Aman resorts, albeit delayed,

    remains the key to watch out for. Current valuations at 1.2x FY13E P/B arealso accommodative, in our view.

    b) Prestige Estates/ Improving pre sales and rent growth. Operating trends

    for the company continue to remain solid given market leadership position

    in Bangalore. Debt levels for the company are relatively low as well.

    Operationally the company continues to deliver fairly strong results and ison track to achieve our stabilized cash flow of Rs 6.3B in the next 2 years.

    c) Phoenix Only listed retail real estate play. With the opening of 3 market

    cities, the company has emerged as the largest retail landlord in the country.Response to the recent mall launches has been encouraging and overall the

    company seems to be on track to achieve Rs3B rental income by FY13 end.Relaxation of FDI in retail could further boost sentiment.

    Then vs. now A brief comparison vs. 2008

    Property stocks in their limited trading history in India have reacted almost

    exclusively to volumes and not pricing. With physical prices at peak and stocks nearLehman lows, we see a potential for this anomaly to reverse. Affordability

    calculations show that if mortgage rates come down by 50bps and prices by 15%,

    mortgage payment/income levels will go back to 2009 (recovery) levels across

    markets thus improving volumes. We see both of these as plausible events unfolding

    through this year. However, as history shows, its best to wait for volumes to recover

    on an anecdotal basis first and then buy stocks rather than guessing it in advance.

    Figure 2: India Property Price Index vs. BSE Realty performance

    Source: Bloomberg, C&W, J.P. Morgan. Both index rebased to 100 as at Mar-09

    The current state of India physical property markets gives a sense of dj-vu (similar

    to 2008) with uncertain macro, deteriorating affordability and high prices adversely

    impacting volume trends and sector share price performance. The sector, in general,

    has now traded back to Lehman levels or even lower in terms of valuations. While

    funding environment has been tight for the sector, the situation isnt all that bad as in

    the 2008 downturn. Most companies albeit are looking to sell down non core assets

    and downsize landholding to bring down the overall debt levels.

    Drawing a parallel to 2009, sector revival hereon would hinge on a combination

    of:

    a) Decline in mortgage rates- Policy rates seem to have peaked with RBI

    guiding to a reversal in monetary policy cycle. Major Banks/HFCs are

    offering fixed rate schemes for initial 3-5 years and few HFCs have also

    started offering discounts of upto 25bps on floating mortgage rates.

    b) Lower unit sizes in new launches thereby reducing the overall ticket size.One of the leading developers, Hiranandani, has recently announced 1BHK

    apartments in its township in Thane. We expect others to follow the suit.

    c) Sharp cut in property pricing Yet to see any meaningful price cuts.

    Of the above 3 conditions, there seems to be some visibility on two conditions i.e.

    peaking of mortgage rate and reduced sizes in new launches. While we have not seen

    meaningful property price cuts as yet, some initial signs of price discounting have

    come through in overheated markets (EMI subvention scheme in Mumbai/NCR etc).

    While this implies that some price correction is imminent, the timing and extent may

    be hard to call. Any sharp cut in property prices (10-15%), as and when it happens,

    would ease affordability concern over 2H. This should trigger physical volume

    recovery and shortly stock price recovery, in our view.

    Property price cuts of 15% required to bring affordabilityback to FY09 levels

    If developers take meaningful price cuts (10-15%) , we estimate affordability

    (EMI/Monthly Income) should come down from current 45-50% levels to

    comfortable 30%/40% in NCR/Mumbai respectively, thereby bringing it back to

    2009 (recovery) levels.

    In our calculations below, we are assuming prices to drop by 5-15% from peak

    levels, mortgage rates coming off by 50bps and incomes remaining largely stable

    Y/Y. Improved affordability should in turn aid a strong revival in residential

    absorption trends, which have been fairly muted over the past 6 months in keymarkets like Mumbai/NCR.

    Key market callsResidential markets in Mumbai have been witnessing sluggish trends over the past

    12 months, which has led to significant pent up demand. Current absorption run rate

    in Mumbai is close to bottom seen in 2008 downcycle and hence could potentially

    bounce back sharply, if meaningful price cuts start coming through in new launches.

    Regulatory environment in Mumbai has started to improve with notification of new

    FSI norms in the city and approvals starting to come through at the margin. This

    should aid launch activity, which was at a standstill over the last year.

    Bangalore, in our view, should continue to witness steady volumes trends on the

    back of planned affordable launches and decent salary/hiring trends in IT/ITeS

    industry despite macro headwinds. Prices in the city havent appreciated

    meaningfully either thereby keeping the affordability under check.

    Gurgaon could be a potential laggard in 2012 as a large number of deliveries

    coincide with sluggish demand trends. This could result in oversupply issues and

    keeping the pricing under check. According to Prop Equity, Gurgaon will witness

    delivery of ~32000 units, which is more than double of 2011 completions.

    Office lags macro recovery; 2012 likely to remain muted

    Office leasing, after witnessing record levels in 1HCY11, has started to slow down

    over the last 2Qs due to uncertain macro weighing down on corporate expansionplans. Office demand revival typically lags macro economic recovery and hence isnt

    likely to do well in 2012, in our view.

    Even while rents havent recovered post 2008 downturn, they are unlikely to improve

    as supply outstrips absorption. Rentals in few prime locations in Bangalore (CBD),

    Mumbai (BKC) and Gurgaon albeit may remain firm given low vacancy levels.

    Figure 11: India Office Absorption Trends (msf)

    Source: DTZ

    Retail performance in line with trend

    CY11 marked the beginning of strong revival for retail leasing with new malls being

    launched at high occupancy levels and decent pre-leasing witnessed across the

    upcoming malls. Retail absorption at 10 msf for CY11 more than doubled ascompared to 2010. We expect the buoyancy in the retail segment to sustain through

    2012, given the strong consumption trends across key metros and lack of quality

    retail mall supply.

    CY11 and CY12 are big years in terms of new project completions. Most of these

    recently completed malls or upcoming projects have substantial lease commitments

    in place. Further, any clarity on potential FDI relaxation should benefit the retail

    developers (DLF, Phoenix, Raheja). Retail rents have started to appreciate over the

    last 2Qs and are likely to remain firm given strong absorption trends.

    Ability to manage cash flows remains the key

    Debt reduction is likely to remain the key focus area for most companies in 2012.

    This, we believe, will be driven by combination of land/asset sales and improvementin operational cash flows. Number of companies have embarked on an asset sale

    program and have seen decent momentum on the same (albeit after delays) in the

    recent past.

    Improved traction herein should help resolve the cash flow/refinance issues of the

    companies and aid sentiment for stock prices. Further, expected reversal in monetary

    policy actions should ease credit availability for the sector as overall liquidity

    conditions improve over 2H.

    Table 2: Asset Sale program by key listed companies

    DLF Company has seen decent traction on its asset sales over the recent past. Key transactions concluded over Dec-Q include - sale ofNoida IT Park to IDFC, Pune IT Park to Blackstone and land sale in Gurgaon to M3M. Aman Resorts sale, however, seems to havebeen delayed. This should help company bring down debt levels.

    HDIL FSI sales done in Goregaon, Virar Vasai. Further, the company is looking to monetize its Kochi and commercial assets (in AndheriW etc). Progress herein would ease refinance issues of the company.

    GPL Company recent sold 49% stake in Gurgaon project to Sun Appollo and is evaluating stake sales to PE players in other projects aswell.

    Deliveries are getting bunched up in 2012/13 which may

    keep pre launch and secondary pricing in check

    Execution will be the key differentiator among developers in 2012. Delivery

    commitments of most developers in 2012 are substantial as launches done in 2009

    (post 2008 downturn) complete 3 years of construction cycle. Gurgaon and South

    Indian markets of Bangalore/Chennai are likely to witness record number of

    deliveries, more than double of those seen in 2010.

    Among key developers, DLF is guiding to deliveries of 12msf+ primarily coming

    from completions in Gurgaon and Chennai. Unitech has 7 msf of projects in finishing

    stages (primarily pre FY09 projects), which should also get delivered in 1HCY12.

    Deliveries commitments for Bangalore developers viz Sobha/PEPL/Puravankara also

    are fairly sizeable in 2012. These commitments, if managed well, would be an

    important milestone for execution abilities.

    Valuations cheap but stock prices lack catalysts. Buy backsand promoter buying have happened in select names.

    Indian property developer stock prices have de-rated almost 70% Y/Y due to aconfluence of tightening credit, deteriorating macro and rising regulatory/politicalrisks. The sector, in general, has now traded back to Lehman levels or even lower interms of valuations. This even as balance sheets and physical market volumes are ingeneral in a much better shape vs. GFC levels

    Given the sharp fall in share prices and cheap valuations, few companies have

    announced buy back plans. Insider activity (promoter buying) has also been fairly

    prominent in few names over the last six months. IBREL and Ansal Housing have

    announced share buy back plans; while there has been promoter buying across a

    number of mid cap names (Sobha/Parsvnath, JPIN etc).

    3QFY12 will lead to higher performance divergence

    3Q results are likely to be muted for NCR and Mumbai-based developers given

    sluggish demand trends, subdued launch activity and higher finance costs. Evenwhile Bangalore developers have been reporting impressive operating numbers

    (record high pre sales, launches etc), reported financial numbers are unlikely to

    surprise positively as new launches will not start contributing to the financials

    immediately (given POCM accounting).

    We expect DLF and Sobha to report some Q/Q debt reduction on the back of non

    core asset sales (for DLF) and improved operational cash flows (for Sobha). While

    there have been consistent disappointments on this front in the recent past, we

    believe any meaningful headline debt reduction in 3Q would be key to watch out for

    and would be taken positively by the markets.

    GPL, on the other hand, would report higher debt levels (on the back of conclusion

    of Jet BKC deal (Dec-Q Net D/E at 1.7xE). We expect reported PAT albeit to be

    higher Y/Y and Q/Q on the back of recent PE stake sale (other income) and

    improved contribution from ongoing projects.
