Peninsula Land Ltd, the Ashok Piramal-backed real estate company, is diversifying into integrated townships and information technology parks in Pune, Nashik and Hyderabad. It also plans to enter Ahmedabad, Chennai, Mysore, Bangalore and Coimbatore by next year. Peninsula is developing five projects, which includes one residential and one township project in Nashik, and integrated townships and IT Parks in Pune and Hyderabad. The company is taking a very risky decision by putting up five huge projects during the same time, because looking at the present conditions it is unsure whether it will be able to sell the residential units. Secondly, these are IT Parks not special economic zones where IT companies would rarely tread as the tax benefit scheme will get over by March 2009 even before the project is ready.
