The global events and political uncertainties complicated the business environment. Though the governmental efforts were focused towards fight against inflation, none the less the inflation continued to scale high. The economy continues to be constrained by high interest rates and sticky inflation. Global economic uncertainties have affected India's economy including the Real Estate Sector. The outlook for the Indian economy is now looking significantly better than in 2013 when the economy was struggling with current account and fiscal deficit, falling rupee and high and stubborn inflation. Rising exports, swift policy as well as project clearance actions expected from the new Government have improved business sentiments. The government has introduced many progressive reform measures to unlock the potential of the real estate sector and also to meet the increasing demand levels. The stimulus package announced by the government, coupled with the Reserve Bank of India's move allowing banks to provide special treatment to the real estate sector is likely to impact the Indian real estate sector in a positive way. ii) Segment-wise analysis Revenue of the Company is generated from providing Architectural and Consultancy Services in Real Estate Sector. The Company achieved a Consolidated Turnover of Rs. 1.21 Crores during the current year. iii) Outlook The scope of Affordable Housing in India is simply unlimited.

The Indian construction market is expected to be the world's third largest by 2020. It is currently the fourth largest sector in the country in terms of FDI inflows. The Government on India has shown support for the real estate industry. It has allowed foreign direct investment (FDI) of up to 100 per cent in development projects for townships and settlements, as well as formally approved 577 special economic zones (SEZs).
