HDIL’s average cost of land acquisition is Rs 113.9 / sft [excludes post-ipo purchase of Land] while that of DLF is over Rs 300 / sft.
At the CMP of Rs 535 HDIL trades at P/E of 13.3 on FY08E EPS of Rs 40.2 and 7.3 on FY09E EPS of Rs 72.7. Using the NAV valuation approach, Religare analyst arrives at a stock price of Rs 694 / share.
