Item 19
Nirlon Knowledge Park (NKP} - Phase 5 Update Summary - March
- The area of Phase 5 is approx. 11. 59 lakh sq. feet of Chargeable Area and approx. l 7 .83 lakh sq. feet of Constructed Area. The Budget for Phase 5 is Rs.1198.30 Crore - including Rs.30 Crore for the Marketing Cost - and is for the original area of 10.90 lakh sq. feet of Chargeable Area and 16.74 lakh sq. feet of Constructed Area. The actual area being developed is approx 6.6% higher, i.e. 11.59 lakh sq. feet of Chargeable area and 17 .83 lakh sq. feet of Constructed area. Details are shown in the Budget Variation Sheet attached as Annexure 1 A, 1 B & 1 C.
As on 31st March 2019, for Phase 5, the Company has incurred/ certified a cost of approximately Rs. 553.00 crore and the committed cost is approximately Rs.876.00 crore, out of the total budget of Rs.1198.30 crore. The Phase 5 Financial Summary is shown in Annexure 2.
Any cost reductions Nirlon Ltd. is targeting in the hard cost of Phase 5, will not be due to lesser /lower specs, material, brands etc. Licensees must rate the Phase 5 Buildings the same or better than the earlier Phases, from a technical and user experience point of view too.
A summary of the Company's debt including the debt for Phase 5 is shown in the attached Annexure 3.
- The Company has received regulatory approval to construct the entire area of 17.83 Lakh Sq. Feet. The IOD, which effectively constitutes the building approval, has been received in June 2018. Plans for this entire area have been approved simultaneously with a payment of approximately Rs.176 Crore to MCGM and UD (Town Planning & Urban Development). This payment constitutes the premium payable @ 30% of R.R Rates to be paid to GOM for the additional FSI from 2 to 3. Nirlon Ltd. will have utilized FSI of approximately 2.63 after the completion of Phase 5. As on date, Nirlon Ltd. has received all the relevant approvals to complete execution of the Phase 5 Project in
NKP. The C.C's for all the Blocks, 1.e. 89, B10 & Bl 1 have been received as of October 30, 2018.
-
- NKP is eligible for 3: 1 FSI and plans to develop 10.56 lakh sq. feet against a total potential area of 16.51 lakh sq. feet. The balance potential available (on payment of the applicable premium) including fungible FSI if desired, is therefore 5.95 lakh sq. Feet. However, as per the latest DP 2034 and revised latest DCR (Development Control Regulations for Mumbai), NKP could be eligible for 5: 1 FSI. This is contingent on the access road width. NKP has an access road width of greater than 27 meters, which potentially makes it eligible for 5 FSI.
-
- There are two primary objectives for Phase 5 at the present time. First, to continue to execute in as safe a manner as possible, and to try and complete the project within the revised target date due to higher productivity and technical innovations. Second, to try and execute 17.83 lakh sq.feet at the original Budget for 16.74 lakh sq. feet.
-
- The following factors have played a major role in the cost and time frame of Phase 5 :
- Regulatory uncertainty has been a very serious issue. Premiums and regulations were fluctuating prior to the new DP 2034 and the latest revised DCR being released by the State Government of Maharashtra.
- Steel Prices were at near record highs in India, and had increased up to 45% from the contract prices. Cement prices had increased up to 25% from Contract prices.
- The Rupee has depreciated approximately 10% against the US Dollar from Phase 4.
- GST has been introduced m April 2017 after the Budget for Phase 5 was finalized. This has resulted in a direct cost increase in some areas/cases.
However, despite these issues the Company will target completion of Phase 5 within the original Budget (excluding Marketing Cost), notwithstanding the increased volume and the negative factors mentioned above. Also, the Company will try and complete the Project by April 2020 and October 2020, in a phased wise manner which were the original targets, notwithstanding the loss of approx. 180 days at the start of the Project due to non formation of MOEF Committees.
-
- In Principle Marketing interest for Phase 5 remains strong. The Company would try and ensure that the profile of the Licensees in Phase 5 is similar to the existing phases 1-4 in NKP. Currently, there is a healthy interest from existing licensees in NKP, as well as potentially new licensees.
-
- As on date, the Company has completed approximately 70% of the Civil work, and is currently casting slabs for the 15th floor (out of a total of 23 floors), 9th floor (out of a total of 9 floors) and 3rd floor (out of a total of 7 floors) for the buildings B9, BIO and Bl 1 respectively.
