Land Portfolio Overview

Hemisphere Properties India Limited (HPIL) holds one of the most strategically located land banks in India. The Company owns approximately 739.69 acres of land across Delhi, Chennai, Pune, and Kolkata. These assets, transferred from Tata Communications Limited under the Scheme of Arrangement, are situated in locations with high urbanization potential and strong demand drivers.

Each parcel varies in its size, zoning classification, and surrounding ecosystem. Collectively, they present HPIL with a unique opportunity to unlock significant value through systematic monetization, transparent auctions, and carefully planned development initiatives. The Company continues to prioritize clear title ownership, security, and encumbrance-free possession, while simultaneously engaging with professional consultants and government authorities to maximize returns from these prime real estate holdings. The details of the individual land parcels are as follows:

Greater Kailash Land Parcel, Delhi (69.46 acres)

The Greater Kailash land parcel, measuring 69.46 acres, is one of the most premium and strategically important properties in HPIL's portfolio. Located near the Outer Ring Road in

South Delhi, the parcel is approximately 20 kilometres from Indira Gandhi International Airport and enjoys excellent connectivity to the capital's central business districts, cultural hubs, and residential neighbourhoods. This parcel is among the highest-value real estate holdings of HPIL and is designated as Public & Semi-Public (PSP) under the Master Plan of Delhi 2021. Owing to its strategic location in an upscale residential zone, it holds immense potential for institutional, cultural, or public utility development projects in the long term.

Fencing and digital surveys of the site have already been completed, and ownership rights are secured. However, physical demarcation of the entire land remains pending due to ongoing litigations. HPIL continues to pursue these matters with diligence, recognizing that resolution will significantly enhance the potential monetization of this prestigious asset.

Padianallur Land Parcel, Chennai (53.04 acres)

The Padianallur (Chennai) land parcel, measuring 53.04 acres, is located in the northern part of Chennai, Tamil Nadu. The site enjoys excellent connectivity, being accessible from the Chennai Vijayawada Highway, which links further to the Chennai Outer Ring Road. It is also within reasonable distance from Korattur railway station (14.5 km) and Thirumangalam Metro station (16.5 km). Surrounding neighbourhoods include Red Hills, Ambattur, Madhavaram, and Puzhal, which are well-developed residential and commercial hubs.

This parcel is zoned as Mixed Residential under the CMA Master Plan 2026. It is properly fenced with a 7-foot-high boundary wall and is free from encroachments, with 24x7 security personnel deployed. The land is moderately vegetated but otherwise undeveloped. The locality is predominantly residential, with some clustered commercial activity, making the site ideal for group housing development and data centre facilities, which are incentivized by the State Government.

HPIL has already paid stamp duty of 7.73 crore towards this parcel. However, while the mutation process was initiated, the State Revenue Authority rejected the application for patta transfer citing an ongoing litigation over possession. One of the litigation is disposed off by the Hon'ble High Court and the Company has reinitiated the mutation process, which is under consideration. This parcel has significant potential for monetization given its strategic location, connectivity, and suitability for large-scale residential and infrastructure projects.

Pune land parcel, Maharashtra (524 acres)

The Pune land parcel is by far the largest in HPIL's portfolio and represents the Company's most significant monetization opportunity. The land is spread across four villages Dighi, Kalas, Bopkhel, and Bhosari and is situated along the Pune Alandi Road, offering superior visibility and accessibility. Its proximity to Pune International Airport, Pune Railway Station, and the industrial and IT hubs of the city further enhances its attractiveness.

The land is fully secured, fenced, and demarcated, with no encroachments. It includes two existing buildings, Opal A2 and Renaissance, constructed prior to the disinvestment of VSNL. Surrounding establishments include Tata Communications Limited and STT Global Data Centres India Pvt. Ltd., underlining the strategic location of the property within a developed ecosystem.

Ownership of the parcel has been successfully updated in Revenue Records, with mutation completed for the entire 524 acres. Municipal records have also been updated for the Bopkhel portion, while applications are in progress for the other villages.

To maximize value, HPIL appointed Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) as Transaction Advisor. During the year, a Stakeholders' Meet was held, which attracted enthusiastic participation from real estate developers, education providers, and corporate investors. This reinforced the strong demand for the parcel across multiple sectors.

A landmark achievement was the change of land use of land parcel falls under Bopkhel village from PSP to Residential. A tentative layout plan has been approved under the Unified Development Control and Promotion Regulations (UDCPR 2020), and a Request for Proposal for e-auction of land at Bopkhel has been floated, with a reserve price of approximately 576.12 crore. The auction is scheduled for August 2025. The same is available on https://hpil.enivida.com.

For the remaining land, the Company is actively exploring an Integrated Township Development approach, which could include residential, commercial, and institutional facilities. This strategy aligns with Maharashtra's urban planning objectives and is expected to unlock substantial value in the medium to long term.

Halisahar Land Parcel, Kolkata (35.19 acres)

The Halisahar land parcel, measuring 35.19 acres, is located in North 24 Parganas, West Bengal. It is accessible via Bizpur Workshop Road and Kabuguru Ravindra Path, with good connectivity through local roads and public transportation. The locality consists of residential areas, small-scale timber industries, and remnants of old jute mills, providing a mix of development opportunities.

The parcel is categorized under Commercial, Water Body, and Bank of Water Body uses. It is free from encroachments, properly secured, and has no litigations. Several water bodies exist within the parcel, offering unique possibilities for planned development while maintaining environmental considerations.

During FY 2024 25, HPIL successfully completed the mutation of the land in Revenue and Municipal records. JLL was appointed as Transaction Advisor in February 2024 following a competitive RFP process. A detailed feasibility study was conducted, which recommended the development of gated residential plots, targeting residents of Halisahar and Kalyani as well as mid-segment buyers from Kolkata.

The Central Public Works Department (CPWD) carried out preparatory works, including vegetation clearing, construction of a security guard room, and building of a peripheral road to facilitate inspections. These steps have improved the accessibility and readiness of the parcel for further planning and eventual monetization.

Chattarpur Land Parcel, Delhi (58 acres)

The Chattarpur land parcel, measuring 58 acres, is situated on Mandi Road, in close proximity to C-DOT, Tata Communications, and just 1 km from Chattarpur Metro Station. Its location provides excellent connectivity to Central and South Delhi as well as Gurgaon, with Indira Gandhi International Airport located only 15 km away.

Currently designated as Public & Semi-Public (PSP) under the Delhi Master Plan 2021, the land is fully secured with boundary walls on three sides, while the partition with TCL is demarcated with poles at 10-metre intervals on the fourth side. Ownership has been updated in both Revenue and Municipal records.,To explore monetization options, HPIL conducted a demand discovery exercise for potential farmhouse development. The exercise revealed encouraging market interest. Accordingly, HPIL filed an application with the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) on 28 October 2022 to change the land use from PSP to Residential (Farmhousing). All necessary surveys, maps, and documents have been submitted, and the application remains under consideration, pending finalization of the Delhi Master Plan 2041.Once approved, this parcel is expected to be one of the most attractive real estate opportunities in South Delhi, given its connectivity, premium location, and demand from the residential and lifestyle segments.
