remaining 62.25 acres of leasehold property for a consideration of Rs.355

Business Park. It is developing 7 million square foot IT Park near the same
location named GIGAPLEX. Swiss Bank UBS has taken lease of 4 lacs square feet
in this project. Another global company Accenture is already occupying 3 lacs square
feet in same IT Park. Due to low rental cost than Bengaluru, Pune and Gurgaon
demand from IT companies for lease is growing on this location.

expected that for remaining 62.25 acres they will grant permission soon. After approval
from MIDC, proceeds of Rs.355 crores will move in Standard Industries books
from K Raheja Group Company.

a decent price.

with limited downside risk.
