L. Anuradha MRICS
(IBBI/RV/02/2022/14979)
EMBASSY OFFICE PARKS REIT

The Valuer or any of her employees involved in valuing the assets of the REIT have not invested nor shall invest
in securities of the Subject Property being valued till the time she is designated as Valuer and not less than six
months after ceasing to be a Valuer of the REIT.

4. Purpose of Valuation

The Valuer understands that the valuation is required by the Client for financial and investor reporting purposes to
comply with the requirements of Regulations 21 of the SEBI (REIT) Regulations, 2014.

5. Basis of Valuation

It is understood that the valuation is required by the Client for financial and investor reporting purposes to comply
with the requirements of Regulations 21 of the SEBI (REIT) Regulations, 2014, as amended, together with
clarifications, guidelines, and notifications thereunder in the Indian stock exchange and for accounting purposes.
Accordingly, the valuation exercise has been carried out to estimate the “Market Value” of the Subject Property/
Business in accordance with IVS 104 of the IVSC International Valuation Standards effective from 31 January
2022 and allowed to be adopted prior to the effective date.
Market Value is defined as ‘The estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the date of
valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing
wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.’

6. Valuation Approach & Methodology

The basis of valuation for the subject properties being Market Value, the same may be derived by any of the
following approaches:

Market Approach

In ‘Market Approach’, the Subject Property is compared to similar properties that have actually been sold in an
arms-length transaction or are offered for sale (after deducting for value of built-up structure located thereon). The
comparable evidence gathered during research is adjusted for premiums and discounts based on property specific
attributes to reflect the underlying value of the property.

Income Approach

The income approach is based on the premise that value of an income – producing asset is a function of future
benefits and income derived from that asset. There are two commonly used methods of the income approach in
real estate valuation namely, direct capitalization and discounted cash flow (DCF).

17

L. Anuradha MRICS
(IBBI/RV/02/2022/14979)
EMBASSY OFFICE PARKS REIT

Income Approach – Direct Capitalization Method

Direct capitalization involves capitalizing a ‘normalized’ single – year net income estimated by an appropriate
yield. This approach is best utilized with stable revenue producing assets, whereby there is little volatility in the
net annual income.

Income Approach – Discounted Cash Flow Method

Using this valuation method, future cash flows from the property are forecasted using precisely stated assumptions.
This method allows for the explicit modelling of income associated with the property. These future financial
benefits are then discounted to a present-day value (valuation date) at an appropriate discount rate. A variation of
the Discounted Cash Flow Method is illustrated below:

Discounted Cash Flow Method using Rental Reversion

The market practice in most commercial/ IT developments involves contracting tenants in the form of pre-
commitments at sub-market rentals to increase attractiveness of the property to prospective tenants typically
extended to anchor tenants. Additionally, there are instances of tenants paying above-market rentals for certain
properties as well (primarily owing to market conditions at the time of contracting the lease). In order to arrive at
a unit value for these tenancies, we have considered the impact of such sub/above market leases on the valuation
of the subject property.
For the purpose of the valuation of Subject Property, Discounted Cash Flow Method using rental reversion has
been adopted.

7. Assumptions, Departures and Reservations

This valuation report has been prepared on the basis of the assumptions within the instructions (Caveats &
Limitations) detailed in Part A (Section-15) of this report. The development mix, built up area, land area and lease
details such as lease rent, lease commencement and lease end date, lock – in period, escalation terms, etc. pertaining
to the Subject Property is based on the appropriate relevant data and documents provided to us by the Client and
the same has been adopted for the purpose of this valuation.

8. Inspection

The Property was visually inspected by the valuer, however no measurement or building survey has been carried
out as part of the valuation exercise and the Valuer has relied entirely on the site areas provided by the Client,
which has been assumed to be correct.

9. General Comment

A valuation is a prediction of price, not a guarantee. By necessity it requires the valuer to make subjective
judgments that, even if logical and appropriate, may differ from those made by a purchaser, or another valuer.
Historically it has been considered that valuers may properly conclude within a range of possible values.
The purpose of the valuation does not alter the approach to the valuation.
Property values can change substantially, even over short periods of time, and thus the valuation of the subject
property/ business herein could differ significantly if the date of valuation was to change.
This report should not be relied upon for any other purpose other than for which this valuation exercise has been
undertaken for.

10. Authority

B. VALUATION APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY

EMBASSY OFFICE PARKS REIT

1. Purpose of Valuation

The Report is being prepared to be relied upon by the Reliant Parties and inclusion, as a whole, a summary thereof
or any extracts of the report, in any documents prepared in relation for the disclosure of valuation of assets forming
part of the portfolio of Embassy Office Parks REIT under the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Real Estate
Investment Trusts) Regulations, 2014 [SEBI (REIT) Regulations], as amended, together with circulars,
clarifications, guidelines and notifications thereunder by SEBI and also disclosure as per fair value accounting
under Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS 40).

2. Valuation Guidelines and Definition

Given the purpose of valuation as mentioned above, the valuation exercise has been carried out to estimate the
“Market Value” of the Subject Properties in accordance with the IVSC International Valuation Standards issued in
2021 and effective from 31 January 2022.

As per IVSC International Valuation Standards, “Market Value” is defined as ‘The estimated amount for which an
asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-
length transaction after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and
without compulsion.’

3. Valuation Approach

The basis of valuation for the Subject Property being Market Value, the same has been derived by the following
approach:

Discounted Cash Flow Method using Rental Reversion

The market practice in most commercial/ IT developments involves contracting tenants in the form of pre-
commitments at sub-market rentals to increase attractiveness of the property to prospective tenants typically
extended to anchor tenants. Additionally, there are instances of tenants paying above-market rentals for certain
properties as well (primarily owing to market conditions at the time of contracting the lease). In order to arrive at
a unit value for these tenancies, we have considered the impact of such sub/above market leases on the valuation
of the Subject Property.

For larger tech parks tenant like Embassy 247, Embassy TechZone, Embassy Quadron, Embassy Qubix, Embassy
Manyata, Embassy TechVillage, Embassy Golflinks and Embassy Galaxy we have factored a 10% discount on the
market rental for anchor tenants post lease expiry.

For the purpose of the valuation of office component of Subject Properties, Income Approach - Discounted Cash
Flow Method using Rental Reversion has been adopted.

EMBASSY OFFICE PARKS REIT

Further, the hotel components at the respective properties and the solar park have been valued using Discounted
Cash Flow Method.

4. Valuation Methodology

In order to compute the Market Value of the Subject Property the following understanding /assessment is required:

• Micro Market Assessment where the Subject Property is located.

• Portfolio Assessment (existing and future supply, demand from occupiers, average office space take up by an
occupier in a particular sector, existing vacancy, and the rentals).

• Situation of the Subject Property (current achievable rentals, vacancy numbers, competing supply in the micro
market etc.) with respect to the micro market.

The details are elaborated below:

Market Assessment:

The Client appointed Ms. L. Anuradha to prepare an independent industry and market research report, which has
been relied upon to develop the understanding and assess the relevant micro-markets of the Subject Property. The
said review, was carried out in the following manner:

• Details study of the market dynamics influencing the rents along with Subject Property rents.

• Assessment of the location setting of the Subject Property in the respective micro-markets.

• Ascertain the transaction activity of office space based on the findings of the industry/market report prepared
by C&WI and readily available information in public domain.

• Review of comparable properties in terms of potential competition (both completed and under-
construction/future developments), comparable recent lease transactions witnessed in the micro-market along
with the trends in leasing within the Subject Property in recent past, wherever available.

The above analysis support to form an opinion on the applicable rental for the micro-market where the respective
Subject Properties are located (market rent) and on achievable rent for the respective Subject Properties for leasing
vacant spaces, as well as upon re-leasing of the existing let out area.

28

L. Anuradha MRICS
(IBBI/RV/02/2022/14979)
EMBASSY OFFICE PARKS REIT

Portfolio & Rental Assessment:

• Property Documents and architect certificates were reviewed for validation of area details, ownership interests
of the Subject Property.

• Physical site inspections were conducted to assess the current status of the Subject Property.

• The rent rolls along with corresponding leases deeds (on a reasonable sample basis) were reviewed to identify
tenancy characteristics for the Subject Property.

Preparation of Future Cash Flows:

• Computing the monthly rental income projected and translating the same to a quarterly cash flow.

• The operational expenses of the respective properties are reviewed to understand the recurring, non-recurring,
recoverable and non-recoverable nature expenses and accordingly estimate the margins on the common area
maintenance income, which accrues as cash inflows to the Subject Property and normalised for the purpose
of cash flow projections.

• The projected future cash flows from the Subject Property are based on existing lease terms for the operational
area till the expiry of the leases or re-negotiation, whichever is earlier, following which, the lease terms have
been aligned with market rents achievable by the Subject Property.

• The cash flows for the operational, under construction and future development area have been projected
separately for the purpose of estimating and reporting valuation in accordance with the SEBI (REIT)
Regulations.

• For vacant area, under-construction area and future development area, the achievable market rent-led cash
flows are projected factoring appropriate lease-up time frame for vacant/under-construction/future
development area.

• Recurring operational expenses, fit-out income (wherever applicable, however, the same has not been included
in the NOI for the purpose of arriving at the terminal value by capitalisation) and vacancy provision have been
adopted in-line with prevalent market practices and conditions.

• In addition, appropriate rent-free periods have been adopted during lease roll-overs to consider potential rent-
free terms as well as outflows towards brokerage.

• These cash flows have been projected for 10-year duration from the date of valuation wherein 11th year Net
operating income (NOI) is capitalized for the assessment of terminal value. These future cash flows are then

discounted to present-day value (valuation date) at an appropriate discount rate to arrive at the Market Value
of the Subject Property.

^ Total land area under the ownership of Vikas Telecom Private Limited (“VTPL) is approx. 80.05 acres and under Sarla Infrastructure Private Limited
(“SIPL”), is 4.0 acres. Additionally, approx. 1.9 acres out of the total land extent is leasehold.
** In accordance with the terms of the JDA for Phase 1 of the development, the developer and landowner have entered into an area allocation
agreement to identify and allocate the specific constructed area/ units that would fall under the landowner’s 40% entitlement and the developer’s 60%
allocation. The JDA for Phase II of the development contemplates that upon receipt of plan sanction, the parties will enter into an area allocation to
identify and allocate the specific constructed area / units that would fall under the landowners’ 33% allocation and developer’s 67% allocation. The
Client has acquired the Developer’s interests in the Subject Property.

1.2. Capitalization Rate Assumptions - Office

Capitalisation rate (“Cap rate”) is a real estate industry metric referring to the ratio of the Net Operating Income
(NOI) arising rental income to their gross asset value indicating the expected income yield of the investor from
concerned property. It reflects the expectation of the investor on stability of rental income driven by the asset
quality, tenant profile, market demand-supply dynamics and macro-economic expectations on prevailing risk
free/low risk interest rates.

In order to arrive at the capitalization rate for the property, relevant parameters of some key investments in
comparable properties of similar quality, use, tenant profile made by institutional real estate investors were
perused.

35

L. Anuradha MRICS
(IBBI/RV/02/2022/14979)
EMBASSY OFFICE PARKS REIT

Further, considering the factors such as, asset quality, location of the asset, asset occupancy levels, etc, the cap rate
for the Subject Properties has been assumed to be in the range of 7.5% to 8.25% in line with the available market
information applied on the one year forward NOI in the terminal year.

1.3. Capitalization Rate Assumptions - Hospitality Development

Hotels are undisputedly a combination of business and real estate; the day-to-day operation of a hotel represents a
business over and above the real estate value. The exercise is aimed at assessing the value of the property on the
earnings generating capacity of the hotel. As per instruction from the Client, we understand that the investors are
investing with a view of future earnings and not for the purpose of selling the assets in the present time. Hence the
most appropriate method is the EV/EBITDA Multiple approach.

For this method, we have evaluated the historic data of listed large and medium Hotel Companies and have arrived
at an average/median multiple. This average EV/EBITDA multiple from year 2012 to 2023 is in the range of 14 to
15 times.

Therefore, the EV/EBITDA multiple of 14 to 15 times translates to a capitalization rate range of 7.14% to 6.7%.
We have taken the lower end of the multiple i.e., 14 which translates to 7.14% capitalization rate.

Based on the above highlighted attributes, the following cap rates have been adopted for the purpose of our
valuation:

Asset Name Capitalization Rate


Office- 8.00%
Embassy Manyata
Hotel-7.14% (viz. an EV- EBITDA multiple of 14)
Office- 8.00%
Embassy TechVillage
Hotel-7.14% (viz. an EV- EBITDA multiple of 14)
Embassy GolfLinks 8.00%
Office- 7.75%
Embassy One
Hotel-7.14% (viz. an EV- EBITDA multiple of 14)
Embassy Hub 8.00%
Express Tower 7.50%
Embassy 247 8.00%
First International Financial Centre (FIFC) 7.75%
Embassy TechZone 8.25%
Embassy Quadron 8.25%
Embassy Qubix 8.25%
Embassy Oxygen 8.25%
Embassy Galaxy 8.00%
Hilton at GolfLinks Hotel-7.14% (viz. an EV- EBITDA multiple of 14)
Embassy Energy Not applicable

1.4. Discount Rate

This discount rate applied to the available cash flows reflect the opportunity cost to all the capital providers, namely
shareholders (Cost of Equity) and creditors (Cost of Debt), weighted by the relative contribution to the total capital
of the company (WACC). The opportunity cost to the capital provider equals the rate of return the capital provider
expects to earn on other investments of equivalent risk.

For the purpose of arriving at the Cost Equity, a peer group of listed comparable were studied and suitable
adjustments made therein to reflect the specific opportunities and characteristics of the Subject Property as part of
a listed portfolio. The Cost of Debt is assumed on the basis of the marginal cost of debt that the SPV owning the
Subject Property has been able to avail and the general borrowing rates of similar assets. The Weights attributed
to equity and debt were benchmarked against similar portfolios/properties in the market.

The derived discount rate of 11.75% for operational office segment (including CAM), 13.00% for under
construction Office & Retail segment, 13.50% for under construction Hospitality segment and 12.14% for
operational Hospitality segment has been considered for the valuation exercise.

Due to the relatively higher land prices and limited availability of land in Hebbal vector, developers are launching
commercial office projects in the latter stretches of this micro market emanating from Jakkur to Devanahalli.
However, the vector is yet to witness overwhelming preference from the occupiers owing to limited social
infrastructure in the vector, resulting in high vacancy levels among office developments.

The Kempegowda International Airport at Devanahalli serves as a major growth driver for real estate developments
in the region. The existing and upcoming commercial developments are driving demand for residential, retail,
hospitality, and ancillary segments in the micro-market. In the last 9 – 10 years, the North Bengaluru micro– market
has witnessed land banking by several established developers and the same is expected to continue.

North Bengaluru is increasingly witnessing substantial residential development by a variety of developers. The
typology of residential developments includes apartments, row-houses, villas, and plotted developments.
Locations like Hebbal, Amrutahalli and Sahakar Nagar are established residential corridors of the micro market
comprising independent houses and apartments; similarly, the typology of residential developments in areas such
as Thanisandra, Horamavu and Hennur Road is largely independent housing and apartments. Areas located
northwards of Yelahanka till Devanahalli and beyond have apartments along with row-houses, villas and plotted
developments developing at a rapid pace due to increasing prices in the neighbourhood markets of Hebbal,

and houses most of the city’s elite.

Geographically, South Mumbai lies at the southern corner of Island. Although the constituency of South Mumbai
extends from Bombay Central to Colaba, Mumbai City is referred to be extending from Colaba to Mahim. The
areas from Bandra and beyond form a part of Suburban Mumbai.

Fort, Nariman Point, Ballard Estate, Worli and Lower Parel (Upper Worli). Most of the consulates, museums and
old theatres are located in South Mumbai. Many leading Indian and multi-national companies are headquartered
here. A few of the city’s prestigious schools and colleges are also located in South Mumbai. Chhatrapati Shivaji
Terminus and Churchgate serve as headquarters and starting point for the city’s Central and Western Railway lines
respectively.

In South Mumbai, all utility services, and civic amenities necessary for smooth commercial trade – such as an
uninterrupted supply of power – are available around the clock. It houses a significant proportion of prime
upmarket residential neighbourhoods of Mumbai including: Peddar Road, Nepean Sea Road, Breach Candy,
Malabar and Walkeshwar Road. Many distinctive sporting clubs have been an integral part of South Mumbai

W.I.A.A. South Mumbai is also home to sporting grounds like the Brabourne Stadium, Wankhede Stadium,
Cooperage, etc.

Although land reclamation has allowed the southern-most tip of the district to double in size since the 1970s, the
district faces an acute shortfall of real estate. As a result, the real estate prices are among the highest in India. As a
ratio to average per capita income, real estate prices in the business districts remain the most expensive in the
world.

The key demand drivers in this micro market are:

1. Proximity to the Commercial Business District.


2. Proximity to the road connectivity.
3. Well-developed public transportation system and power infrastructure.

• Consistent demand and controlled supply had led to a declining vacancy trend during CY 2016 - CY 2019.
Vacancy declined from 8.2% in 2016 to 5.7% in CY 2019. However, due to limited fresh leasing activity in the
micro-market during the pandemic struck period of CY 2020 – CY 2021, the vacancy increased to 8.2% in CY
2021. Vacancy has further increased to 9.0% in 2023 but the year started with a positive note and vacancy
decreased to 7.8% in Q1 CY 2024. Due to the demand for space in the micro-market from various tenants and
limited supply of good quality Grade-A developments with Grade-A landlords, in CBD, is expected to further
drive absorption in the micro-market.

• This micro market has witnessed tenant demand from various sectors such as Banking and Financial Services
(BFSI), Technology, Engineering & Manufacturing, Flexible Workspace, etc.

2.3.4. Office Market Outlook

The current market rentals in the CBD micro market are in the range of INR 230-240 per sq. ft. per month. Further
over CY 2016 – CY 2018 the rents in CBD dropped by 2% whereas from CY 2019 onwards the rentals have
increased from INR 230 – 235 per sq. ft. per month in Q1 CY 2024. CBD has limited good quality Grade A supply
and with no new supply in the micro market in the near future will help in declining the vacancy rate and
commissioning of Metro Line 3 and 11, which is likely to further boost the demand for office space in the micro-
market and thereby on market rental, the long-term average annual growth rate of 5% in the market rentals appears
achievable.

Commercial rental values in Eastern Suburbs are in the range of range of INR 114 – 140 per sq. ft. per month on
leasable area for Grade-A buildings in Eastern Suburbs have seen an increasing trend since the year CY 2016. Due
to sustained leasing activities from tenants who are looking to establish their head office or corporate office in this
micro market, the rentals in this micro market are amongst the highest in Mumbai region.
Premium Grade A supply such as Godrej, Lodha I Think Campus, Empire Plaza etc. command rentals in the range
of INR 100 to 180 per sq. ft. per month on leasable area. These rentals are at a premium to the market benchmarks
primarily due to the locational advantage, the quality of construction, amenities, and an elite tenant list.
Limited supply since 2016 and sustained demand led to an increase in the rentals until the year 2019. As the
markets have opened up post the pandemic, demand for the commercial office space in the micro-market has
witnessed significant uptick. Correspondingly, the rentals in good quality grade A buildings with grade A landlord
profile have witnessed significant improvement over the last few years.

market and thereby on market rental, the long-term average annual growth rate of 5% in the market rentals appears
achievable.

b) The data represented is on calendar year basis.

Due to good presence of A grade buildings coupled with strong connectivity and well-developed social and lifestyle
infrastructure BKC & Annexe has witnessed continuous traction from tenants who provide high-value services or
tenants having their corporates offices in this micro market.
This micro market has witnessed continuous tenant demand from various sectors such as Banking and Financial
Services (BFSI), Technology, Healthcare & Pharmaceutical, Medial and Telecom etc.
Consistent demand and controlled supply had led to a declining vacancy trend during CY 2016 – CY 2019.
Vacancy declined from 23.3% in CY 2016 to 10.8% in CY 2019. However, due to limited fresh leasing activity
and infusion of approx.1.0 msf. Of new supply in the micro-market during the pandemic struck period of 2020-
2021, the vacancy increased to 20.1% in CY 2021. The markets have witnessed strong traction during Q1 CY
2024, thereby vacancy declined to 10.0% as on Q1 CY 2024. Strong demand for space in the micro-market from
prime tenants and limited supply of good quality Grade-A developments with Grade-A landlords, especially in the
G-Block, BKC, is expected to further drive absorption in the micro-market. New supply of 4.2 msf. is expected in
this micro market by the year 2026 (Kalpataru Infinia: 0.3 msf. by CY 2024, and Adani Inspire Annexe: 0.4 msf.,
Prestige BKC: 2.3 msf., Sumitomo BKC: 1.2 msf.) by CY 2026.

significantly in CY 2019 and continue to increase in Q1 CY 2024. Rentals have taken a major jump in Q1 CY
2024 due to continuous demand and renewals happening at a higher rate. Going forward, given the limited good
quality supply with Grade A landlords in the Bandra Kurla Complex, continuing strong demand for commercial
office spaces in the micro-market and commissioning of Metro Line 3 and 2B, which is likely to further boost the

demand for office space in the micro-market and thereby on market rental, the long-term average annual growth
rate of 5% in the market rentals appears achievable.
The commercial real estate sector has shown significant resilience during the Covid struck period. Majority of the
markets have started to open-up and corporates have started to encourage the employees to return to office. This
is also driven by record high levels of attrition witnessed across industries, which has led to strong hiring trends in
terms of fresher and lateral hires. New Gen-Z (born between 1997 –2012) employees are in high demand by the
employers, however, work from home period has significantly dented their wellbeing as they struggle to bond with
teams. This has led to employers revisiting the need for training, interaction etc, thereby increasing the relevance
of office infrastructure for such corporates.
While some organizations have been contemplating strategies with respect to the hybrid work models - flexible
arrangement, allowing employees to combine onsite and offsite work as required, we expect the strong growth in
the IT - BPM sector, increased interests into Indian offshore centres by several IT/ITeS corporates and GCCs is
expected to drive significant demand for the commercial real estate sector.

4.1. Noida Office Market Overview

Noida, located in the State of Uttar Pradesh, is an integral part of the NCR. It is a planned city located in Gautam
Buddha Nagar district. Further, it is located at about 25 km South-East of Central Delhi and can be accessed from
Central Delhi via: Delhi – Noida Direct (DND) Flyway or Toll Bridge; Sarita Vihar or Kalindi Kunj Road; and the
Nizamuddin Flyover. The primary office clusters in Noida are concentrated towards sector 16, 18, 32 and 57 – 65
and also on the belt running along Noida-Greater Noida (NGN) Expressway. The office developments in these
sectors constitute a mix of investment grade and sub-investment grade developments. NGN Expressway primarily
constitutes investment grade developments. Sector 16, 18, and 32 house commercial developments, however the
other two office clusters (sector 57 – 65 and NGN Expressway) predominantly offer IT/ITeS and SEZ
developments. To name a few, established players like Embassy, Brookfield, Logix Group and Advant Group etc.
have their footprint in Noida. Along with prominent office spaces, NGN Expressway has recently become a hub
for international schools as well. Some well-known schools operational on NGN Expressway are Lotus Valley
International School, Gyanshree School, Mayoor School, Pathways International, Amity International etc.

Traditionally, retail cluster in Noida had remained confined to Sector 18 which is also known as the “Atta Market”.
Gradually, as the development activity in the city progressed a number of malls got developed in sector 16, 18 and
32. Few of the prominent retail malls in the city are Great India Place, DLF Mall of India (one of the largest in
NCR with leasable area of approx. 2 msf.), Centre Stage Mall, Gardens Galleria, Spice Mall, Logix City Center
Mall etc. Together, all these retail malls contribute to a significant percentage of organized retail supply of the city.

Residential supply of the city can be divided under established and upcoming sectors. The established sectors of
Noida such as 14, 15, 21, 22, 45, 55, 56, etc. constitute plotted developments through government or unorganized
players and high-rise developments primarily under cooperative group housing schemes. Central Noida,
comprising sectors 72 – 79, the sectors along the under-construction FNG expressway and sectors in Noida
Extension are highly dense sectors. Hence, most of the projects in these micro markets comprise high-rise group
housing projects. These sectors are being developed by organized players/ developers and primarily cater to Middle
Income Group. The sectors along Noida-Greater Noida Expressway have residential projects along both sides.
Residential developments in this micro market comprise both plotted developments and high-rise group housing
projects. These sectors are being developed by organized players/ developers and cater to all segments viz. Middle-

c) The data represented is on calendar year basis.

Over the past 8.25 years, Noida has seen an average additional supply of approx. 1.3 msf. And an annual average
net absorption of approx. 0.9 msf. The city has always benefited from the presence of superior infrastructure as
compared to other cities of NCR. With improvement in intercity connectivity, and supply of quality developments,
the net absorption is likely to go in upwards direction. The shift in development status of the city from being
dominated by sub-investment grade structures to good campus / large integrated park-based developments has
resulted in the city to grow exponentially in office segment. With increasing occupier base, and major infrastructure
getting developed viz. Jewar Airport in Noida, the same trend is likely to continue in future.

Considering the well-maintained infrastructure, key location, and increasing trend of return to office, the
occupancy and rental trend is expected to show a positive trend in the coming future.

(largest contributor to demand of office spaces in Noida). We expect that the factors including growth in the IT-
BPM sector, increased interests into Indian offshore centers by several IT/ITeS corporates and GCCs will further

According to the market assessment provided, the current weighted average quoted market rental of the micro
market is INR 54 per sq. ft. per month, and it may vary +/- 10% depending upon area take up, negotiations, final
structuring of the lease agreement and other parameters.

Preference for work from home has reduced significantly and many organisations have started calling their
workforce back to office. Considering the well-maintained infrastructure, key location, improved connectivity
(through Sector 71 underpass and expansion of Delhi Metro Corridor) and increasing trend of return to office, the
occupancy and rental trends are expected to show a positive trend in the coming future. Additionally, the micro
market constitutes large IT Parks which fit well with the requirement of technology sector (largest contributor to
demand of Noida). We expect that the factors including growth in the IT-BPM sector, increased interests into
Indian offshore centres by several IT/ITeS corporates and GCCs will further drive significant demand in the office
real estate sector.

5. Bellary Micro Market

The Subject Property is an operational solar park and owned by 'Embassy-Energy Private Limited (EEPL) and is
strategically situated in the Bellary District, spanning three villages—Ittigi, Mooregeri, and Nellukudure. Despite
its distance of over 300 km from Bengaluru City, the region lacks development in terms of real estate activity.
Characterized by vast expanses of agricultural land, particularly with black cotton soil, it stands out as a unique
area with distinctive natural features.

The potential for development in the area has got attention due to the establishment or proposed development of
solar parks by major players such as Adani and ReNew, indicating a shift in the economic landscape. This influx
of renewable energy projects positions the location as a hub for sustainable initiatives, contributing to its growing
significance in the broader energy sector. In addition to its geographical advantages, the property holds significance
in the context of power generation and distribution.

5.10. Capitalization Rates

In order to arrive at the capitalization rate for the property, relevant parameters of some key investments in
comparable properties of similar quality, use, tenant profile made by institutional real estate investors were
perused. Further, considering that these investments have been made through private equity and the subject
valuation is being carried out for a potential public listing with better liquidity/marketability of ownership interest,
the cap rate for the subject properties has been assumed to be 8% for office and Retail developments and 7.14%
for hospitality developments which is in line with the available market information applied on the one year forward
NOI in the terminal year.

5.11. Discount Rate

This discount rate applied to the available cash flows reflect the opportunity cost to all the capital providers, namely
shareholders (Cost of Equity) and creditors (Cost of Debt), weighted by the relative contribution to the total capital
of the company (WACC). The opportunity cost to the capital provider equals the rate of return the capital provider
expects to earn on other investments of equivalent risk.

For the purpose of arriving at the Cost Equity, a peer group of listed comparable were studied and suitable
adjustments made therein to reflect the specific opportunities and characteristics of the Subject Property as part of
a listed portfolio. The Cost of Debt is assumed on the basis of the marginal cost of debt that the SPV owning the
Subject Property has been able to avail and the general borrowing rates of similar assets. The Weights attributed
to equity and debt were benchmarked against similar portfolios/properties in the market.

The derived discount rate of 11.75% for operational segment (including CAM), 13.00% for under construction
Office & Retail segment and 12.14% for Hospitality segment. The discount rate for Block M3B has been
considered as 12% as it is a leasehold development with cashflows extending to the end of its leasehold period.

Hotels are undisputedly a combination of business and real estate; the day-to-day operation of a hotel represents a
business over and above the real estate value. The exercise is aimed at assessing the value of the property on the
earnings generating capacity of the hotel. As per instruction from the Client, we understand that the investors are
investing with a view of future earnings and not for the purpose of selling the assets in the present time. Hence the
most appropriate method is the EV/EBITDA Multiple approach.

L. Anuradha MRICS
(IBBI/RV/02/2022/14979)
EMBASSY OFFICE PARKS REIT

For this method, we have evaluated the historic data of listed large and medium Hotel Companies and have arrived
at an average multiple. This average EV/EBITDA multiple from year 2012 to 2023 is in the range of 14 to 15
times.

Therefore, the EV/EBITDA multiple of 14 to 15 times translates to a capitalization rate range of 7.14% to 6.7%.
We have taken the lower end of the multiple i.e., 14 which translates to 7.14% capitalization rate.

4.7. Discount Rate

This discount rate applied to the available cash flows reflect the opportunity cost to all the capital providers, namely
shareholders (Cost of Equity) and creditors (Cost of Debt), weighted by the relative contribution to the total capital
of the company (WACC). The opportunity cost to the capital provider equals the rate of return the capital provider
expects to earn on other investments of equivalent risk.

The derived discount rate of 12.14% has been considered for the valuation exercise.

5.4. Capacity Utilization Factor (CUF)

In terms solar power, the actual energy output of a solar power plant is influenced by factors like sunlight
availability, maintenance-related downtime, and fluctuations in weather conditions. The Capacity Utilization
Factor (CUF) in solar energy specifically represents the ratio of the actual energy output of a solar facility during
a specified period, typically measured annually, to the maximum potential energy output if the plant were
consistently operating at its peak capacity throughout that timeframe. This metric is expressed as a percentage, and
a higher CUF signifies a more efficient and productive solar power plant. It serves as a crucial measure for
evaluating the performance and reliability of solar energy systems. With respect to the Research conducted and
with reference to table below it is understood that the average capacity utilization of solar PV plants in Karnataka
is 19%. However, we have assumed the Capacity utilization factor as 17.35% which is in line with industry
benchmarks.

L. Anuradha MRICS
(IBBI/RV/02/2022/14979)
EMBASSY OFFICE PARKS REIT

6.3. Cost Assumptions

Open Access Charges

It refers to the fees associated with the transmission and distribution of electricity from the solar facility to the end-
user or consumer. These charges include various components like Cross Subsidy Charges, Transmission Charges
and SLDC Charges.

Cross Subsidy Charges:

Cross-subsidy charges are fees imposed on certain consumers or categories of electricity consumers to compensate
for the subsidization of electricity provided to other consumer groups. The goal is to balance the cost of electricity
distribution and ensure that all consumer categories contribute their fair share. The imposition of cross subsidy
charges aims to create a more equitable distribution of electricity costs among various consumer groups, ensuring
that the burden of subsidizing one group is shared by others, particularly those who can afford to pay higher rates.

Transmission Charges:

Transmission charges are the cost associated with the transportation of electricity from the generation site (solar
power plant) to the distribution network or grid. These charges cover the costs incurred for transmitting electricity
over the transmission infrastructure, which includes high-voltage lines and substations.

State Load Dispatch Centre (SLDC) Charges:

The System Load Dispatch Center (SLDC) operates under the purview of Karnataka Power Transmission
Corporation Limited (KPTCL) as the apex body responsible for ensuring the seamless and coordinated operation
of the power system in Karnataka. The SLDC plays a pivotal role in real-time load dispatch, overseeing the
operation and maintenance of the SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) System, and managing
energy accounting. To fund its operational activities, the SLDC recovers annual expenses from consumers and
beneficiaries utilizing the Intra-State transmission system.

All the above charges are calculated on the percentage of tariff.

Component Unit Solar Project


Open Access Charges % On Tariff 36%
Cross Subsidy Surcharge % On Tariff 19.3%
Transmission Charges % On Tariff 16.5%
SLDC Charges % On Tariff 0.1%

318

L. Anuradha MRICS
(IBBI/RV/02/2022/14979)
EMBASSY OFFICE PARKS REIT

Wheeling Charges:

It is the cost associated with the transportation of electricity from the point of generation (solar plant) to the point
of consumption, which may be at a different location. These charges cover the use of the transmission and
distribution infrastructure to "wheel" the electricity from the generator to the end-user.

Banking Charges:

“Banking" generally refers to the practice of storing excess generated electricity in the grid for future use. When a
solar power plant produces more electricity than is immediately consumed, the excess electricity can be fed into
the grid. Later, during periods when the solar plant's output is insufficient, the operator can draw electricity from
the grid to meet their needs. Banking charges are applied to compensate for the costs associated with storing and
managing this electricity exchange. These charges may cover administrative costs, infrastructure maintenance, and
other expenses incurred by the utility or grid operator for facilitating the process of storing and retrieving excess
electricity.

Both the above charges are calculated on the percentage of injected energy:

Component Unit Solar Project


Wheeling Charges % On injected Energy 5%
Banking Charges % On injected Energy 2%

Other Assumptions:

Component Unit Solar Project


Additional Surcharge per Unit 0.82
Cost Escalation Per Year 4%
Admin Cost INR Mn per qtr. 1.30
O&M Cost INR Mn per qtr. 16.25
Employee Expenses INR Mn per qtr. 1.30
Inverter Replacement Cost INR in Mn per MW 1.30

6.4. Discount Rates

This discount rate applied to the available cash flows reflect the opportunity cost to all the capital providers, namely
shareholders (Cost of Equity) and creditors (Cost of Debt), weighted by the relative contribution to the total capital
of the company (WACC). The opportunity cost to the capital provider equals the rate of return the capital provider
expects to earn on other investments of equivalent risk.

For the purpose of arriving at the Cost Equity, a peer group of listed comparable were studied and suitable
adjustments made therein to reflect the specific opportunities and characteristics of the Subject Property as part of
a listed portfolio. The Cost of Debt is assumed on the basis of the marginal cost of debt that the SPV owning the

Regulatory Proceedings

that captive power plants in IT/ ITES SEZs were to be classified as separate units and were entitled to avail
fiscal benefits under the Special Economic Zones Act, 2005 including the benefit of exemption from the levy
of excise duty under the Central Excise Act, 1994, on the goods supplied to them. However, in 2015, a new
circular was issued which withdrew all such benefits and incentives extended to the captive power plants set
up in a SEZ with effect from April 1, 2015. In 2016, new guidelines were issued which restored the benefits
and exemptions given under the 2009 Circular. However, the exemptions and benefits were prospective in
nature and did not apply to SEZ developers, such as MPPL, for the period between the 2015 circular and the
2016 guidelines. By way of their letters in 2016, two diesel providers who were providing high speed diesel to
MPPL, informed MPPL that amount payable due to excise duty on supply of diesel to MPPL was ₹31.60
million and ₹8.49 million, respectively, due to the changed guidelines. MPPL filed an application before the

unit as a SEZ unit with retrospective effect, which was not granted.

and others have filed writ petitions in 2018 in the High Court of Karnataka against the State of Karnataka, the
Commission, Bangalore Electricity Supply Company Limited, Gulbarga Electricity Supply Company Limited
and Karnataka Power Transmission Corporation Limited. The High Court of Karnataka by way of an order

L. Anuradha MRICS
(IBBI/RV/02/2022/14979)
EMBASSY OFFICE PARKS REIT

dated May 24, 2018 has directed interim stay on the Commission’s order. In the event of cancellation of the

ii. Other Material Litigation

EEPL has received a demand notice under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (“IBC”) on February
28, 2019 from a third party subcontractor, engaged by the parent company of a third-party service provider for
Embassy Energy (“Service Provider”), which was itself engaged by the Service Provider as a contractor for
Embassy Energy. The demand notice alleges that unpaid amounts (categorized as operational debts)
aggregating up to ₹1,008.1 million are due to the sub-contractor directly from EEPL for the various works
claimed to have been undertaken at the site of Embassy Energy, on the basis of certain correspondence with
EEPL. EEPL has by its letter dated March 1, 2019, refuted all such claims inter-alia on the basis that the
payments are due from the Service Provider (and/ or its parent entity) to the sub-contractor and not from EEPL,
and therefore the sub-contractor has no claim against EEPL. By its letters dated March 18, 2019, the
subcontractor has responded to the letter from EEPL, denying all statements made by EEPL and reiterating
that the unpaid amounts are due from EEPL, without prejudice to any action, including criminal, that may be
taken under law including the IBC against EEPL, the Service Provider, its parent entity and certain
representatives of these entities. EEPL has also written to the Service Provider in relation to deficiencies in
services required to be contractually provided by the Service Provider. The Service Provider has responded to
EEPL denying the allegations in such letters. The sub-contractor of the Service Provider has filed an application
against EEPL in October 2019 under Section 9 of IBC before the NCLT, Bengaluru claiming debt of ₹997.59
million and interest thereon against EEPL. Pursuant to a letter dated January 2, 2020, the third party sub-
contractor served notice of hearing in this matter for initiation of insolvency proceedings under Section 9 of
the IBC before the NCLT, Bengaluru.

Subsequently, the Service Provider and EEPL agreed to a revised prepayment mechanism pursuant to a letter
dated November 18, 2020. It was agreed that upon payment of ₹7.77 billion, all the definitive agreements

Service Provider has confirmed that there are no dues payable under the deferment payment agreement. The
operations and management agreement with the Service Provider was subsequently terminated.

The NCLT, Bengaluru has disposed off this matter on March 8, 2022. The Service Provider has filed an appeal
against the order of the NCLT Bengaluru before the NCLAT, Chennai. The NCLAT has dismissed the appeal
pursuant to an order dated June 16, 2023. Further, an appeal has been filed by the Service Provider before the
Supreme Court of India. Additionally, the Service Provider has submitted an application to the District Legal

iii. Criminal Proceedings

A First Information Report (“FIR”) for offences under various sections of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 was
registered by Deonar Police Station against representatives of EEPL and another person at the instance of a
representation of Sterling Wilson Renewable Energy Private Limited (“SWREL”) (formerly known as Sterling
Wilson Private Limited). SWREL under the FIR has claimed that EEPL has not made balance payments to
SWREL for its services as a third party contractor, thereby resulting in loss to SWREL. In response, EEPL and
its representatives have filed a criminal writ petition before the High Court of Bombay against the State of
Maharashtra and the representative of SWREL praying, inter-alia, to quash and set aside the FIR, which was
subsequently transferred to the Economic Offence Wing.

D. VTPL

Regulatory Proceedings

a. The Director, SEZ Section, Government of India issued guidelines in 2009 (“2009 Circular") which laid down
that captive power plants in IT/ ITES SEZs were to be classified as separate units and were entitled to avail
fiscal benefits under the Special Economic Zones Act, 2005 including the benefit of exemption from the levy
of excise duty under the Central Excise Act, 1994, on the goods supplied to them. However, in 2015, a new
circular was issued which withdrew all such benefits and incentives extended to the captive power plants set
up in a SEZ with effect from April 1, 2015. In 2016, new guidelines were issued which restored the benefits
and exemptions given under the 2009 Circular. However, the exemptions and benefits were prospective in
nature and did not apply to SEZ developers, such as VTPL for the period between the 2015 circular and the
2016 guidelines. By way of its letter dated March 3, 2016, the diesel supplier providing high speed diesel to
VTPL, informed VTPL that amount payable due to excise duty on supply of diesel to VTPL was ₹4.31 million,
due to the changed guidelines. VTPL filed an application before the Development Commissioner, Vikas
Telecom SEZ in 2016 seeking approval of its DG set unit as a SEZ unit with retrospective effect, which was
not granted. Subsequently, VTPL filed an appeal before the Board of Approval, SEZ Section in 2016 seeking
modification of the letter of approval granted by the Board of Approval, SEZ Section to classify VTPL’s captive
power plant as a SEZ unit, as it was not granted with retrospective effect, which was rejected. VTPL has filed
a writ petition in 2017 before the High Court of Karnataka to set aside the said order and a stay order was
granted.

b. VTPL has received a demand note dated August 14, 2020, from the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage
Board for a payment of charges in relation to issuance of a no-objection certificate for a proposed project
commercial building on land parcel. VTPL has filed a writ petition before the High Court of Karnataka against
the State of Karnataka, Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board and others challenging the government
order dated February 12, 2016 and the demand note issued against VTPL and seeking to, inter-alia, (i) quash
the demand notice dated August 14, 2020; and (ii) issue of no-objection certificate to VTPL. Pursuant to an
order dated November 17, 2020, the High Court of Karnataka granted an ad-interin stay on the demand notice
dated August 14, 2020 in relation to certain charges and instructed VTPL to pay the prescribed fee for issuance
of no objection certificate, which has been paid. The matter is currently pending. The said petition has been
disposed on April 22,2024. However, as the final order is not available even on the high court website, we are
unable comment on the same.

c. VTPL has received a demand note dated September 29, 2020 from the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage
Board for a payment in relation to issuance of a no-objection certificate for a proposed project office building

Common questions

As of Q1 2024, the rental trend for Peripheral North micro-market shows rentals around INR 88 per sq. ft. per month, while the ORR micro-market shows higher rentals ranging from INR 95 to 120 per sq. ft. per month . Vacancy rates differ significantly between the two; Peripheral North exhibits a decreasing vacancy trend reaching 13.7%, whereas ORR has an increasing vacancy trend, rising to 8.2% due to additional new supply . The differences highlight ORR's higher demand and premium positioning as a desirable location for commercial developments, despite the recent supply increasing its vacancy rate.

Proximity to infrastructure, such as highways and metro stations, typically increases real estate value by enhancing accessibility and connectivity. In Embassy TechZone, its location closer to NH 48 and the proposed Infosys Phase II Metro Station contributes to its attractiveness for tenants, improving leasing probability and expected future rental income . Similarly, in Source 5, properties with access to major roads like the Intermediate Ring Road, act as major access routes, boosting property visibility and desirability, thereby positively affecting their valuations.

Market rent escalation rates for commercial properties in the ORR micro-market are influenced by factors such as the grade of development, tenant type, developer profile, lease terms, and demand-supply dynamics. The consistent high demand from global tenants, particularly in the IT/ITeS sectors, influences rental increases. Moreover, lease renewals in ORR consider improvements in infrastructure and market conditions, contributing to assumed escalations of 15% every three years . These contribute to competitive yields critical for investor attractiveness and maintaining market competitiveness amidst growing supply.

Environmental considerations and town planning exert profound influence on real estate valuation by determining compliance costs, development constraints, and overall desirability. In the Subject Properties, no adverse environmental or ground condition issues have been identified, favoring market perception and valuation . However, reliance on general public information for town planning without formal searches can introduce uncertainties in valuations should future regulations affect property use or accessibility . Such factors must be meticulously navigated to sustain and enhance asset valuation effectively.

Tenant profiles, particularly dominant IT/ITeS firms, play a critical role in shaping office market performance in ORR. These firms drive significant rental demand due to their expansive operational requirements and willingness to pay premium rates for prime office spaces. ORR's tenant base, characterized by Fortune 500 companies and global e-commerce and BFSI tenants, ensures robust occupancy levels and rental stability even amidst new supply injections . Such consistent demand contributes to high absorption rates, bolstering the commercial market's resilience and attractiveness in the region.

For Peripheral North, future supply expectations of approximately 5.0 to 6.0 msf from CY 2024E to CY 2026E against a backdrop of decreasing vacancy trends imply potential stabilization or slight increase in vacancy if absorption doesn't keep pace with supply . In ORR, the anticipated future supply of 9.0 to 10.0 msf may further increase current vacancy levels if demand does not match the added supply, already affected by an increased vacancy rate to 8.2% as new supply entered the market in Q1 CY 2024 . This suggests heightened risk of oversupply affecting rental growth and absorption rates if demand fluctuates.

Current performance indicators such as rental growth, net absorption, and vacancy trends, coupled with future supply estimations, critically influence strategic real estate investment decisions. In Peripheral North, the high absorption rates and decreasing vacancy levels amidst moderate future supply projections suggest an optimistic outlook for sustained demand, guiding potential investments . In contrast, ORR's higher rental rates and increasing supply imply a competitive landscape where strategic positioning and timing of investments are crucial to capitalize on future demand and avoid oversupply risks . Investors must weigh these factors alongside macroeconomic conditions to inform decisions, ensuring alignment with evolving market dynamics.

The decrease in vacancy levels in Peripheral North from 14.5% in CY 2023 to 13.7% in Q1 CY 2024 is primarily due to healthy leasing activity in the micro-market. The net absorption of commercial office space reached an all-time high of approximately 2.6 msf in CY 2023, and even in Q1 CY 2024, the net absorption has been significant at 1.3 msf, which is nearly 50% of the previous year's total .

In the Peripheral North micro-market, fresh deals often result in higher rental values compared to renewals due to competitive positioning and market standards. Fresh deals involve new lease agreements that reflect prevailing market conditions, thereby justifying higher rental rates. Renewals typically leverage existing tenant relationships and involve less negotiation on increments, reflecting moderate increases compared to fresh deals . Consequently, fresh deals offer adjustive capabilities in line with market advances, influencing overall rental trends more significantly than renewals.

Peripheral North may face challenges such as overestimation of demand, leading to future oversupply issues, as new developments continue to materialize. Changing economic conditions and potential slowdown in leasing activities, especially in periods of global economic uncertainty, could disrupt absorption rates . Moreover, increased competition from other burgeoning micro-markets, like ORR, with higher rentals and tenant elasticity choices, may also pose a hurdle. Consequently, maintaining sustainable absorption would require strategic positioning, continuous alignment with tenant demands, and proactive infrastructure improvements to offset these challenges.
