Gentlemen,
I went for the meeting with Unitech today, but was surprised to see that there were only three of us there; Mr Jatin Aggarwal, Mr Prem Swarup’s son and I. I had definitely presumed that there would be more of us there but this looked like a representation without representatives. It was also evident from the glee on Mr Chaturvedi’s face who was watching us from the balcony above that he had expected quite a few dissenters .
We first met Mr Sinha regarding the penalty clause, who expressed his inability to do anything on the matter except what was in the agreement.
Mr Chaturvedi also seemed to have forgotten what he had told us last time and said as much which was not surprising.
In the context of the above we did not expect anything much but nonetheless drove down to the Verve Site (courtesy Jatin), with Mr Chaturvedi in his own car and a couple of people holding flats in Cascades.
In all honesty we expected a practically deserted or contrived appearance at the site, but this was not so. The entrance gates, the boundary walls and metal grills, the considerable work already done on the landscaping, quite well developed grass lawns and even some Palm trees did show good intention. Though there was not much of a labor force present, it was evident that quite a bit of work had been done since my last visit 4 months ago. Tower 5 & 6 have been plastered outside, and parts of the external paint on them had been done. Mandatory fire protection systems had been set up in the flats we saw on the ground floor. The 100% power backup DG set was already placed in location, the club house was coming up at a fast lick. Jatin inspected the electrical wiring and ancilliaries in the company of the Unitech chief supervisor and found them quite satisfactory. The Greater Noida project manager of Unitech, Mr Sinha was available at the site and informed that he had been shifted there to expedite the completion of Verve as that was the only project considerably lagging behind in the area.
Mr Chaturvedi promises delivery of Tower 5 & 6 by March end 2012, and his project manager promises it a month earlier. The other 4 towers or so would be ready by end next year as informed to us.
I would now like to suggest others to go and visit the site if possible, preferably do it without prior information to Unitech, and then for us to decide on the future course of action.
Regards
Jatinder Jaggi

Hello All ,
I had re-confirmed with Mr .chaturvedi today for our meeting on 15th oct. Meeting is ok with him .We will have discussion with Mr. Chaturvedi and Mr.Sinha first and then we will move on to see the unitech verve site.
As far as way forward is concerned , I am for taking on the legal course . Atleast I will feel that I have given a fair try.We are only fooling ourselves by listening to the fake promises of unitech representatives.
As per my discussion with Mr.Kshitiz there is no need for taking a lawyer with you. The case will be filled because of one-sided termas & conditions of the builder buyer agreement and for non-fulfillment of the terms laid down in the Agreement.
Please come one and Please come all for the fun filled saturday
Listen to the fake promises of Unitech
See the dummy workers working on Unitech verve sight
Be part of sight seeing tour of unitech verve well guided by Mr . Chaturvedi and accopanied with fake promises
Be a part of this real event
Kind Regards
Jatin Agrawal

Had brief word with Mr. Chaturvedi today, he says slow work on site which means to me status quo. He could not give any assurance on when work will commence full swing to meet March deadline but only that things will become clearer end October. Does this relate to project specific decision or general legal complexities that unitech is involved in I do not know.
The group members meeting on 15th perhaps can get a better feedback.
For me it means choosing between sweating it out or a legal recourse I.e. a choice between the devil and the deep blue sea. Not a pretty site when you are starting a devil in the face. Whatever the group decides will go with it.

Dear All,
These discussions have been on-going for the last months but with no concrete joint up action and without that we do not stand a chance.
I visited the site also in mid-November ( Mr. Chaturvedi did send a representative) and the work was completely halted and saw no progress since July 2011 when I previously visited the site. In some regards it is going backwards, the so called sample flat is falling into disrepair. Apart from nodding his head from time to time that all is going to take place in time, the Unitech rep was clueless on details. I did not post this online as previous discussions did not lead anywhere.
The completion in my viewpoint can ONLY be achieved by mid-2013 if full construction starts from now and I can’t see even that happening. It is pretty clear that Unitech focus is preoccupied somewhere else and completion of these outstanding projects is the last thing on their minds for now.
Mr Chaturvedi and other representatives will keep on promising whatever as long as they keep lining their pay pockets.
If members are willing to take joint up action then I am willing to visit India again for the said purpose.
Merry Xmas and happy New Year!!! Still it is not the end of the world…

Mohan
I will speak to an advocate this weekend and revert. I found him very reliable till now.

Jaggi ji,

I will only seek an opinion on result possibility and costs. I am for hiring a person who has time for our case.
I also request Mr Puri to advise if any result of the two notices sent already.
Latest at Unitech
Realty major Unitech today said it has put on hold its plans to demerge the infrastructure vertical indefinitely on account of sluggishness in economy. In a filing to the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), the company said in a meeting of the Restructuring Committee held today it was decided to hold the demerger of infrastructure undertaking of Unitech into a wholly-owned subsidiary -- Unitech Infra.
The company also decided to withdraw the amalgamation of two wholly owned subsidiaries -- Aditya Properties and Unitech Holdings -- with itself, it added. "Keeping in view the prevailing macroeconomic scenario, the company has decided to put its plans to expand the infrastructure business on hold and focus on its core business of development of residential and commercial real estate... Accordingly, the company has decided to withdraw the Scheme," Unitech said. In April 2010, Unitech had announced demerger of its infrastructure operations, including the telecom business, into a new entity to unlock the value of none-core businesses. It had even planned to eventually list the new demerged entity -- Unitech Infra -- on stock exchanges. Unitech had also said that it would hive off the shares and investments held in companies in the telecom sectors to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Unitech Infra. In the recent months, Unitech and Telenor, joint venture partner in telcom business, have been involved in a public spat over many issues, including management and funding of JV. The realty firm had recently moved the Company Law Board (CLB) requesting it to appoint independent observer for the board meeting of its telecom JV 'Unitech Wireless' on December 8 and allowing the video recording of the event. The CLB had disposed of Unitech's plea after the High Court appointed an observer for the board meeting. Earlier, Unitech had dragged Telenor to CLB alleging mismanagement in operations of the JV. The partners also differed on the proposed Rs 8,250-crore rights issue. Norway's Telenor holds 67.25% stake in Uninor, the telecom joint venture of Unitech, while the remaining is with Unitech. Telenor had paid over Rs 6,000 crore for the stake, valuing the company at close to Rs 10,000 crore. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
