CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE
Dear Fellow Stakeholders, Success of a Company primarily depends on its ability to consistently grow in a sustainable way.
We, at Saraf Infraprojects Limited (SIPL), are committed to building a financially prudent,
sustainable and a transparent company; one which will last its lifetime and continue to create value
for its stakeholders for many years to come.
The journey is long and our challenges could be global or local, macro or micro, from within or
outside the sector. This very nature of the business brings phases of market cyclicality, which in
turn present opportunities to our company. Whatever the situation, we will continue to follow our
philosophy of ‘aggression with caution’. Our growth will also depend on our ability to attract the
best capital, investors and talents for the company. And for that, our competition is not just within
the sector. Therefore, we continue to learn from leading organizations globally, adapt best
practices and evolve as an organisation.
We believe that our customers’ faith in our brand is one of the key reasons for our growth.
Currently, the preference of buyers in the real estate sector in India, especially in Kolkata, is
undergoing a transformation as they are becoming progressively more aware of what’s happening
around the world. The modern urban Indian buyers are earning more, travelling the world and as a
consequence, their desire for quality is increasing. In a city like Kolkata, which has a huge demand
for quality housing, the consumer is willing to pay a premium for a better quality home and
amenities that upgrade his lifestyle. Besides, factors like easy access to capital, higher disposable
income, a growing economy and, most importantly, aspirations of a better life are the key drivers
for the demand of premium housing. These factors, coupled with the traditional Indian mindset of
considering investment in real estate to be a prudent decision, continue to fuel demand for housing.
At SIPL, there is a significant alignment of our business model with these emerging trends of our
consumers. We have consciously selected locations at Kolkata to create premium developments.
We will continue our journey of value creation for all our stakeholders over the long run with your
continuous support and faith in us. I thank you for resting your trust on me and providing me the
opportunity to lead your company in this very dynamic industry.
Best wishes,
Raja Ram Saraf

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
We have pleasure in submitting hereunder the Management Discussion & Analysis Report on the
business of the Company. We have attempted to include discussions on the matters to the extent
relevant.
Overview- Industry Structure and Development
The Indian economy has shown remarkable resilience compared to other global economies.
However, the stress was visible in below 6% projected GDP growth in 2012-13 vis-à-vis
aspirations of over 7% growth, in stark contrast to an average of 8% growth achieved during 2007-
2011.
Economic growth declined across all the sectors due to domestic and external factors, high
inflation, wide fiscal deficit and unfavorable domestic savings and investment rate. Despite strong
fundamentals and structural support, uncertainty and consequent lack of confidence held back
investments in capital formation. Output was disrupted due to power outages and stalled projects.
Services also slowed down due to both cyclical and structural factors.
High inflation was a cause of worry, with wholesale price index hovering over 7%. The weak
rupee, settling around ` 55 against USD, increased the import bill of crucial fuel supplies, thus
driving up the current account deficit.
In an attempt to rekindle India's economic slowdown, the Government unveiled a series of
economic reforms. These have certainly led to a revival in investors' sentiment.
The real estate companies are coming up with various residential and commercial projects to fulfill
the demand for residential and office properties in Tier-II and Tier-III cities. The growth in real
estate in
Tier-II and Tier-III cities are mainly due to increase in demand for organized reality and
availability of land at affordable prices in India.
One of the key concerns during the year under review was the sharp increase in inflation. Reserve
Bank of India took various measures to anchor inflationary pressure in the Economy i.e. through
high rate of interest, high cash reserve ratio etc. Ultimately the burden is shifted, particularly to the
real estate and housing sector. As the buyers are not able to afford the high cost of construction due
to inflation and further augmented by high rate of interest of their home loan, so the same affects
the real estate market prospects in future.

Ongoing Projects
Radisson Blu in collaboration with Radisson Group of Hotels & Resorts, [first platinum rated
green building in terms of compliance with stringent specifications of US Green Building Council
(USGBC)] a five star deluxe hotel reckoning permissible Floor Space Ratio (FSR) of 2.75:1. The
project consists of 121 hotel keys (average size of 31 sq. meter each) and 4 nos. suite, two
specialty multi-cuisine restaurants, one 24 hour coffee shop, one lounge/ bar meeting room, club,
barber shop, 24 hour secretarial services, business centre, health club besides swimming pool at
rooftop etc. Parking space proposed would be adequate to accommodate twenty-four cars in
basement whereas open space would be offered for parking thirteen cars on ground floor. The
hotel will be spread over 14 floors including basement and ground floor. The building has been
conceived to be a Hi-Tech intelligent building of international standards with all kinds of
infrastructural facilities.
Forthcoming Projects
Integrated Township at Rajarhat, with a land strength of more than 200 acres situated at the six
lane express way between the heart of the city and the airport that is five minutes from the CBD of
Sector V, Salt Lake, popularly called as a planned satellite town in West Bengal, an aspired
location to dwell in.
Prospects and Future Outlook
As the land in central areas of Kolkata has already been exhausted, development in peripheral
areas is being taken up by most of the developers. Due to expansion of city the demand for housing
has also grown particularly demand for development of Integrated townships as they are built with
lifestyle amenities for quality living. Migration of people for jobs, division of joint families and
carrier advancement has resulted in rising disposable income which has ensured continuous
demand for residential and commercial space for end use & investment too. Your Company is
continuing its efforts to meet the demand of such customers with concept of integrated townships.
Opportunities and Threats
Real estate business of the Company is dependent on the performance of the real estate market in
India. The business is subject to extensive statutory or governmental regulations. Change in the
business policies of the Government, may have effect on the prospects of the business. Work
stoppages and other labour problems could adversely affect the business. Sanctioning process
through the authorities is slow and time consuming. Fluctuations in market conditions may affect
our ability to sell our projects at expected prices, which could adversely affect our revenue and
earnings. Potential limitations on the supply of land could reduce our revenue or negatively impact
the results of Company's operations.
As seen in the recent past the Government policies have been supportive e.g. reduction in stamp
duty and change in the tenancy law and abolition of land ceiling etc. The Company remains firmly
committed to its objective of high quality coupled with aggressive cost reduction initiatives.

Risk and Concerns
A big risk which the developers are facing is price risk. Real estate price cycles have the maximum
impact on the margins of the developers, because land costs account for a large portion of the
constructed property. The other risk to which the developers are exposed is demand risk which
indicates the ability to sell properties based on location, brand, track record, quality and timelines
of completion.
Most real estate developers try to address this risk by undertaking market surveys in order to assess
the demand for their properties. There is Finance Risk also. Low availability of funds coupled with
high rate of interest is also a major risk for real estate industry. Uncertain interest rates lead to
uncertainty in the real estate market. This trend of rising interest rate may dampen the growth rate
of demand for housing units. Change in Government Policies including change in Tax structure
will also affect the Progress of the Real Estate Industry.
The Indian Real estate market is still in its infancy, largely unorganized and dominated by a large
number of small players, with very few corporate or large players having national presence. The
Realty Industry is still subject to a number of taxes and is considered as one of the over burdened
tax segment and the non-availability of low cost long term funds, for the Real Estate/ Construction
Sector. However, the said risks can be averted if the Government directs its policies in Real Estate
Sector towards regulatory framework instead of being restrictive in nature.
Cautionary Statement
The Management Discussion and Analysis Report contain forward looking statements describing
the Company’s projections and estimates. These are based on certain assumptions and expectations
of future events. The Company cannot guarantee the realization of projections as the actual results
may differ due to factors like the price of raw materials, demand-supply conditions, changes in
government regulations, tax structures, etc. which are beyond the control of Management. The
Company assumes no responsibility in respect of forward looking statements which may undergo
change on the basis of any subsequent developments, information or events.
