1.2 PROJECT POTENTIAL

All the3 sites at Dehradun, Nanded and Ujjain offer an excellent opportunity for a successful
commercial real estate development owing to the following factors :

 The sites are located near the Railway station.

 Easy accessibility to Railway Station, Bus stand and in the city area.

 Good visibility from station approach road.

 Opportunity to create a land mark in the city.

 Land form and topography suitable for the construction

 A vibrant commercial catchment area

Station.

Area - 1500 sqm. (Approx.)

Built up Area - 2625sqm

Structure - There are railway offices which are to be dismantled by the Developer.

Surroundings -South: Station Road

East: Railway land and colony
West: Station Exit road
North: Vacant Railway land

Accessibility - The site is accessible from the station approach road.

Topographical Features - The site is virtually level land and has a rectangular shape.

1.4 GUIDELINES ON EXPRESSION OF INTEREST

Objective: The Objective of the EOI is to increase the base for the participation in the MFC
projects by end users like retailers, hoteliers, banks, pharmacies, bookstores, who operate
individually or as large corporate entities, who may or may not be interested in development of the
project. The EOI is not a valid bid in the development process, but instead serves as an offer for
leasing of the eventual premises.

Expressions of interest are invited from end users like large chain retailers, hoteliers, and small
individual entrepreneurs interested in leasing the premises on a short term basis (min of 9 years) as
an indicative rental for developers who might be interested in leasing the land and developing the
project.

Expressions of interest are also invited from large developers who have executed projects in
multiple cities, who may have a standard set of tenants

Since the process followed is an open tender, retailers and hoteliers who are interested in
development are advised to send in expressions of interest, as the EOI would provide indicative
rentals to the final winner of the bidding process.

 The EOIs may be annexed to the amended tender document to enable greater transparency for
bidders.

 Retailers and Hoteliers interested in leasing space may send in expressions of interest, as this
will provide an indicative rental for final leasing from the winner of the final bid.

 EOI must be stamped and signed by the authorized signatory of the company.

 EOI will not be the final contract between the winner of the bid and the end user, which will be
subject to negotiations etc. as in the case of any private commercial deal.

 EOI from developers will not be considered as a valid bid for the project, since the valid bid will be
only considered as per the normal rules of tendering by RLDA.

location where the consecration took place is referred to as the Gur ta Gaddi (Throne of the
Guru).
The name Nanded is widely believed to have originated from "NANDI" Vahan of Lord Shiva,
who performed penance on the banks (TAT) of River Godavari. This "NANDI TAT" became

2.7 CATCHMENT AREA

The analysis of the catchment area of the station is illustrated pictorially in the figure below:

The area south of the railway line is the old city area and all the important government offices are
located in this area. This area is thickly populated and heavily congested due to the presence of
Railway Station, Govt. Hospital, Nanded Textile Mills, Government offices and Institutions, Old
Mondha, SachkandGurudwara and large scale commercial and residential buildings. Godavari River
flows through this area. Due to inadequate connectivity and the barrier posed by the railway line
development in the city is largely sandwiched between the river Godavari and the railway line.

Project Information Memorandum Page

Development of MFC at Nanded railway station
Rail Land Development Authority

The northern side of the station area is a lower order commercial development with small shops
like Xerox centers, sweet shops, garages variety stores etc. A major portion in this side of the
railway station is covered under Dhyanchand stadium out of which the municipality office of the
city also operates.
Beyond about 1 km from the station building on the northern side, there are newly developed
residential plotted developments with very limited commercial development.
The railway settlement area has railway quarters and railway offices. There are two road over
bridges which links the northern and southern side of the city and is at a distance of about 1.5 km
from the station area on each side.

2.8 PLOT DETAILS AND AREA STATEMENT

The considered area of the subject land plot is about 1,500 sq m,
