  Omaxe Ltd (OL) was founded as a civil construction and contracting organization in1989 and subsequently diversified its business to focus on Real Estate Development from the year 2001. The company has involved in residential and commercial real estate development projects ranging from integrated townships, group housing and retail and other commercial properties, hotels, information technology and bio-tech parks to special economic zones. The company operations span across all aspects of real estate development, from the identification and acquisition of land, to the planning, execution and marketing projects.
 

The company in a short span of 5 years has completed and delivered 10 projects consisting of 8 residential and 2 commercial covering approx 5.13 million sq. ft of area, with all 'on time deliveries'. The company currently has 52 projects under development. Of these 52 projects, 38 are under development and 14 in various stages of approvals for development. The company expects to commence development of these 14 projects in the current year ending March 2008 (FY 2008). The 16 integrated townships are essentially 'mixed-use' areas consisting of residential and commercial projects and are expected to include 10 group-housing projects, 16 commercial developments, one biotech park and one information technology park. It is also developing projects in the hospitality sector. Its hotels at Amritsar, Greater Noida and Patiala are part of commercial malls under construction. OL has applied for change of land use for its hotel project in Faridabad.

Most of OL's residential developable space is in non-NCR locations of northern India. Just 19% of the space from the current group-housing projects that can be developed is either under development or in various stages of approval in the national capital region (NCR). All the township projects are in Tier II and III cities/ towns in north India. However, the share of NCR region in the total commercial space that can be developed is 49%.
There  are huge opportunities available in the 
 emerging real estate  market in  India. Government
 has been pragmatic and supportive in its approach 
 in ushering  in reforms in the industry which should 
open up more  avenues  of growth.  According  to  
 various studies,  continuing  housing  boom  should 
sustain  along with growing demand for retail and 
 commercial space  in  the coming years. Apart from
normal business risks, Company is facing competition 
 from its  old competitors as well as new entrants in the 
same line of  business. However,  it  is a well  
 established  player  and  has  a professional  management 
team coupled with infusion of high-tech  approach, 
 Omaxe has created a niche for itself in the market.
Indian economy is on robust growth track. For the past 
 three year,  average GDP  growth was over 8% and 'Sensex' 
has consistently been beating its  own all  time  high.    
India has been  one  of  the hottest destination for foreign 
investment. There has been a tremendous demand for quality 
 Real Estate. Developments in the  retail, hospitality 
and entertainment( e.g., hotels,  resorts,  cinema theatres) 
industries, community services (e.g., hospitals, schools) 
 and  IT and  ITES (e.g., call centres) etc. and vice versa as
 well as owing to  the fact  that quality real estate  
development prompts raising of standards  of retail, hospitality 
 etc. has triggered this ever increasing demand.
Access to land reserve of approximately 3,255 acres. Total land reserve includes about 571 acres belonging to joint ventures and collaborations in which OL has an economic interest of approximately 74% calculated on a weighted average basis. It owns 31% of the land reserve directly or through its subsidiaries and has sole development rights on 46% of the land bank. About 6% of the land has been allotted by the government and its agencies on a long-term lease of about 90/99 years. Of the total land reserves, around 3096 acres (including approximately 451 acres belonging to joint ventures and collaborations) relate to projects that are currently under development or in various stages of approval for development, representing approximately 150 million sq. ft. of saleable area.
