2. About Janaadhar Constructions (P) Ltd. Janaadhar Constructions Pvt. Ltd. is a for-profit affordable housing development company, focused on bringing well-designed, quality homes for the urban under-served LIG population. The majority stake in Janaadhar is held in a Section 25 not-for-profit company Janalakshmi Social Services (see below) About Janalakshmi Janalakshmi (literal translation, Peoples Wealth), is a social business. It embraces market principles while pursuing a social objective. To accomplish this, Janalakshmi has been designed in a 2-tier structure: for- profit operating companies for investors; and a (Section 25) not-for-profit holding company called Janalakshmi Social Services - in which promoter stakes are held. Funds in Janalakshmi Social Services can only be used to address social issues. This 2-tier structure addresses one of the key criticisms about the social business sector that has arisen in India - about promoters generating wealth from the success of their initiatives. In Janalakshmis case, while investors can get the returns that they deserve for putting up capital, all promoter stakes are held in the Section 25 company, thereby ensuring that there is no personal enrichment for promoters.

7. Challenges in Affordable Housing Plan Sanction Complexity of rules Faulty urban planning and by-laws, restricting FAR and building height Ambiguity in interpretation Ill-defined zoning laws, resulting in fragmented design/approval process and sub-optimal outcomes Time delays Multiple agencies/iterations/ambiguity causes enormous delays Uncertainty Overall uncertainty in the process has two consequences – Reduced risk-appetite from Developers to enter this space – Increased desired returns to offset uncertainties

8. Making PPP in Affordable Housing a reality Improve access to clear land for developers Crucial element to address Not discussed in this presentation Streamline the Plan Sanction Process Strategic Issues Tactical Issues Operational Issues Simplify access to subsidies JNNURM/RAY subsidies on capital/interest not easily available to private developers Not discussed in this presentation

9. Streamlining Plan Sanctions – Affordable Housing Development Plan (AHDP) Sanctions Strategic Issues Densification – Community perspective – Min/Max persons/hectare standards based on location/ context/climate – Diversity of unit types – Allow for incremental growth – Open / Built space ratio based spatial / temporal standards Integrated Use – Land use should permit Live/Work/Play/School/Leisure automatically – Community needs oriented mixed use models – Create participative communities Sustainable Development – Low or zero carbon developments – Passive & Active climate oriented design to optimize energy consumption – Reduce, Reuse, Recycle philosophy in the design – Meet Griha standards

10. Streamlining Plan Sanctions – Affordable Housing Development Plan (AHDP) Sanctions Tactical Issues Single Window Approvals for Plan Submissions Simplified access to subsidies and other benefits (e.g. Carbon credits etc) Examine self-certification Operational Issues Rationalise building regulations like set-backs/parking/road- width etc to reflect EWS/LIG requirements Establish SLAs for turnaround times for sanction processes

11. What it can look like – Total Cycle time of 18 months 2-Step AHDP Sanction Process Step 1: Qualifying criteria for AHDP window – Project details/Financials/Construction details etc Step 2: AHDP Sanction window – Layout Plan with unit sizes etc. – Plan for Civic Services Month1 Month2 Month3 Month4 Month5 Month6…………… Month 15 – 18 AHDP* Plan Sanctions completed Land Acquisition completed Construction Phase Delivery completed

12. Benefits of the proposed AHDP Sanction process Removes Uncertainty Reduced Timelines Improves Economics and Market Functioning WIN-WIN-WIN-WIN – For Affordable Housing Clients – For the AH PPP Developer – For Union/State/Local governments What it can look like – Total Cycle time of 18 months
