In INDIA, people generally relate to stock market as “EASY MONEY” or “SATTA BAZAAR”. For them it’s purely a GAME or matter of sheer LUCK and nothing more than that. But seldom do they know, by following certain PRINCIPLES and taking INFORMED decision, this same platform has the power to take them from rags to riches. No doubt, it has a certain amount of RISK attached to it. But every business or investment has it. What more, the Finance Ministry has already made the long term capital gain as TAX FREE whereas the short term capital gain is taxed at merely 10%. On the economic front, India’s GDP is growing and is expected to grow at scorching pace of more than 8%. Unfortunately, even today our market is being ruled and dominated by FIRANGI’s money. But I can see, the day is not far when our general PUBLIC will change its perception and start putting MOST of their savings in equities as an ** Investment **.
Remember, "K N O W L E D G E" and "P A T I E N C E" are the key to success.

Company is in the midst of developing 28 projects (24 in Pune and 4 in Bangalore), with a total saleable area of around 18 million sq. ft. consisting of 10 residential complexes, 11 commercial development, 5 IT parks, 1 integrated township & 1 service apartment.

For funding the projects KPDL has entered into a joint venture agreement with ICICI Venture Funds, K2 Properties etc. Despite the anticipated fall in real estate prices, company is estimated to maintain round about same bottomline for FY09.

For the June qtr its revenue shot up 40% to Rs 38 cr but due to high interest and depreciation cost NP was up only 10% to Rs 6.80 cr. To cash on the huge opportunity in this industry, company has chalked out some very aggressive expansion plans for developing/acquiring 5star, 4 star and budget hotels. Of late it bought 30 acre property in Tanzania and also formed a joint venture with Parsvanath to develop 10 hotels at an investment of Rs 500 cr. Couple of months back it acquired 50% stake in Galaxy Beach Resort (65 rooms) in Goa.

In case company is able to successfully execute as per its plan, then it can give handsome return over long run. Besides, its an excellent dividend yield stock as well.
