Mumbai, Maharashtra, IND, 2007-06-12 17:59:48 (IndiaPRwire.com)
A special purpose vehicle (SPV) formed by Delhi based real estate Uppal Group and Luxor Group,
today announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Trinity Capital (PLC), a
US based boutique investment banking and restructuring firm. The two companies also announced
divestment of their partial shareholding in the SPV in favor of Trinity Capital for over Rs. 300 crore.
The SPV was floated by the two companies to develop 10 million sq. ft. on a 67-acre plot for their
upcoming notified SEZ's in Gurgaon.
Mr. Manish Uppal, Managing Director, Uppal Group, said, 'We are delighted to partner with
Trinity Capital, a global firm of repute. Through this association, we will invest towards the
development of a multi product SEZ in Gurgaon, which is estimated to be completed by 2011. The
Uppal Group has always been known for design excellence and more importantly customer
satisfaction and timely delivery and this is what we aim at for this project as well'.
Of the total space, 6.5 million sq ft will be used directly as IT space and 3.5 million sq ft will be
developed for supporting usage. The project scheduled to start by the second half of 2007, is one of
notified SEZ's in the Delhi and NCR region, located in Gurgaon. The SEZ is ideally located, 25 km
from Delhi international airport and on the main Delhi to Jaipur Highway - NH 24. The
government-approved notification was issued to the Group in April this year.
'Our project is aimed at concentrating on the IT and IT Enabled Services (ITES) companies. This
facility would be housing apart from the IT space, supporting infrastructure such as, restaurants,
housing, schools, hospitals, entertainment zones among other essential services and is scheduled
to start in the second half of 2007,' added Mr. Uppal.
The National Capital Region contains the second highest number of employees in the IT/ITES
sector in India. There is currently 7.9 million sq ft of IT/ITES space in the region (Trammell Crow:
Major IT-ITES Hubs in India - A Snapshot, February 2007) however none of the developments have
SEZ notification. SEZs will be particularly attractive to the IT/ITES sector as existing fiscal benefits
(under the Software and Technology Parks of India) may be lifted in 2009. As such, SEZs may be
the only facilities offering fiscal benefits to developers and lessees after 2009 and it is likely that a
significant proportion of demand for IT space will I be directed towards SEZs.
The IT/ITES sector is growing rapidly, and the National Association of Software and Service
Companies (NASSCOM) estimates that by 2008 the cumulative demand for real estate for IT/ITES
in the National Capital Region will touch 16 million sq ft. Based on the strong demand for ITIITES
units and complexes, there will be also be demand for housing, hotels, commercial spaces and
other general facilities.
