Update: Rakesh Jhunjhunwala in an interview with CNBC had this to say about the DLF IPO:

Q: Have you invested in the real estate sector at all?
A: I don't have any investments in real estate.

Q: How is that possible, last one-one and half years they have been some of the biggest multi-baggers? You must have had reasons to look at those opportunities and let them pass?
A: It's a very dicey subject. None of the real estate companies pay tax. I don't know how they get their profits. Second thing I also feel that anything, which can be valued as one plus one is equal to eleven; is not what ultimately gives you returns in markets. I don't know, I have never been into real estate bull in my life and wrongly so.

Q: But you have bought a lot of real estate yourself; how come you don't buy those stocks?
A: I have not bought any real estate. I bought a house and office.

Q: Commercial real estate you have dabbled in the past, haven't you?
A: Not at all. That's not my cup of tea.

Q: So you would not be queuing to buy DLF, would you?
A: No I wouldn't.

Q: Why - valuations or innate distrust of the business?
A: I would say valuations, more than anything else.

Q: So you have had a look at it?
A: Yes.

Q: You don't agree with those - slight premium to land bank - those kinds of valuation models at all?
A: Why should I go and buy DLF, I will buy the land only.
