Here it is(Nov 17 2008):
 
New Delhi: Mahindra and Mahindra on Monday said there is no slowdown in its real estate projects, even though there is slump in demand.
“We are not slowing down on any of our projects. Jaipur is rocking, Chennai is doing well, city-based projects such as Faridabad are also doing well”, Mahindra and Mahindra Ltd Executive Director Arun Nanda said on the sidelines of the India Economic Summit.
 
Fundamentals of real estate have not changed. Nanda said, adding there were no funding issues for its projects and the company’s affordable housing projects are not going to disappear.
 
“We have actually got cash in the bank”, he said, adding there is a huge demand in Rs30 to 40 lakh apartments segment. He, however, said the housing loan segment is facing problems and investors are not coming forward.
 
“Demand has been put on back-burner and interest rates are hurting people,” he said.  Nanda also said that the group is awaiting Sebi approval for the initial public offering of Mahindra Holidays and Resorts Ltd.

Thanks!

If they keep their focus on middle-class (affordable) projects, I'm sure they will do well. Look at the demand for MHADA flats in Bombay.

The link given by Hitesh has the following comments from MotiLal Oswal.

Motilal Oswal has maintained its buy rating on Mahindra Lifespace, in its February 10, 2009 report. "We expect the entire future capex requirement at the Jaipur SEZ to be self financed through sale of processing area and the residential vertical. MLL has healthy balance sheet with net cash of Rs 200 million and has no major land out standings or debtors. This coupled with its strong management pedigree differentiates the company from its peers. MLIFE trades at a P/E of 7.4x its FY09E EPS of Rs 17 and a P/B of 0.6x its FY09E book value of Rs 220 per share."

"We have lowered our NAV for MLIFE by 5.7% to Rs 590/sh from Rs 626/sh to account for lower realizations (Rs 2,500/sf v/s Rs 2,700/sf) for its residential project at the Chennai SEZ. Our NAV of Rs 590/sh is based on SOTP valuations: 1) Chennai SEZ at Rs 150/share, 2) Jaipur SEZ at Rs200/share, 3) Residential vertical at Rs 164/share and 4) cash/other rental assets at Rs 76/share. MLIFE is available at 76% discount to its NAV. Maintain Buy," says Motilal Oswal's research report

...
Further, as per Motilal's projection , EPS is expected go up from 17 to 27.5 in FY10 - that's around 50-60% growth.

There was another comment from Dipan Mehta yesterday on Real Estate companies and specific one including MLL and Peninsula:

http://www.moneycontrol.com/india/news/news/fii-flow-to-stabilise-when-global-mkts-steady-dipan-mehta-/383299

On real estate:
Dipan Mehta suggests a slightly differentiated strategy to remain within the real estate sector but to migrate to the quality players within the sector. By quality players, he doesn’t mean larger players but some smaller players who are not that much leveraged. For example Mahindra Lifespace and Peninsula Land are two companies which are not heavily leveraged with usual disclosures. He believes that these are the companies which will be able to take advantage of the kind of panic which is there in the real estate market.

Mahindra lifespace is one of the fw companies that has not reduced the cost of the flats in its on going projects nor has resorted to freebies also the cost of the flats i.e the one comming up in Faridabad is head and shoulder above the rest.

The Chennai buildings are also sold out also the Jaipur Sez is not dependent on the Govt for land aquisition and is hit with the jwellery crowd.

Land for the Jaipur SEZ has already been tied up with the Rajasthan Industrial Development Authority. The state govt is a stake holder in the project. However the project has all the land it needs, but going by the Chennai project, the company may come up with a second phase where the govt may allot more land. Freehold land in the vicinity of the SEZ would be developed by the company for housing.

Can anyone tell me if the company is taking black money from people who book houses? In Mumbai they don't. But one cannot say this about other centres.
