Development Update

Since the interim results announcement on 9 December 2011, construction has commenced on an additional area of c.518,000 sq. ft. as follows:

   --     c. 343,000 sq. ft. at Mindspace, Airoli, Navi Mumbai 
   --     c. 175,000 sq. ft. of commercial space at Commerzone, Whitefield, Bangalore 

The total area under construction now stands at c.11.8 million sq. ft.

Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) has been successful in a dispute with a third party on an area of land adjacent to the existing Mindspace, Airoli, Navi Mumbai project land. Consequently, this portion has been handed over to Serene Properties Private Limited (Serene), the SPV developing this project, thereby increasing the development area at the project by c.140,000 sq. ft. The total planned development at this project is now 4,576,000 sq. ft. As a result of this increase in area, the completion schedule of this project has been extended by a year to September 2014.

Details of the area constructed and under construction as at 29 February, 2012:

Project cost update

Continued high levels of inflation over most of the previous year and depreciation of the rupee together with the increase in planned development area has resulted in an increase in the estimated construction cost at Mindspace, Airoli, Navi Mumbai. Similarly at Vivarea, Mumbai, high inflation and rupee depreciation, besides changes to the development regulations in Mumbai, have contributed to an increase in the estimated statutory and other costs of the project.

In aggregate, the total estimated cost of the projects in the portfolio is being revised from c.INR 55.9 bn (c.GBP717 million) to c.INR 58.0 bn (c.GBP744 million).

The estimated impact of these cost increases would have been to reduce Ishaan's Adjusted Net Asset Value per share as at 30 September 2011 by approximately 3-5 pence. This estimate does not reflect any positive impact of the rentals currently being achieved at the Mindspace, Airoli project as described above.

Grant of electricity distribution approval to Serene Properties Private Limited

Serene Properties Private Limited, the SPV developing Mindspace, Airoli, Navi Mumbai project, has been accepted as a deemed distribution licensee for distribution of electricity at this project. Serene is the first developer in the state of Maharashtra to have been granted this approval. This will enable Serene to source power from third parties and distribute this power to the tenants at the project, thereby eliminating dependence on utility companies for the project's power requirements. Since Serene is the first developer in the state to receive this approval, there are no precedents to ascertain the potential benefits that would flow to Serene through distribution of electricity at this project. While this is not expected to materially raise the valuation of the project, it would enable Serene to generate a reasonable return on its investment in the project's infrastructure.
