VARTHUR ROAD FINALLY SET TO BE WIDENED!

Travelling on the narrow Varthur Kodi Road is a bit of a hazard. Every day, motorists get stuck on this road, sometimes for up to an hour, as traffic crawls forward along Tank Bund Road. But there's hope now. The state government has sanctioned a Rs 30-crore road-widening project, from Varthur Kodi to Sarjapura via Gunjur. The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has started the work at Varthur Tank Bund Road. The project, to be taken up in phases, is expected to get completed by 2019. The existing road width is about 21 feet wide, which will be widened to 160 feet for 1.4 km (6 lanes of main carriage way and 2 lanes of service roads on either side) to begin with.  The project will involve re-construction of the existing road to incorporate geometrically correct alignment design, major bridges and other components. The project has also proposed the construction of three major bridges. An official from the BBMP said: "We have started work on government land. 



We have issued notices to a few property owners along the stretch. We have to finalise the land acquisition process now." Sujith Rangachar, a techie who uses this road regularly, said: "It's such a narrow road that one has to be very careful here. Because of the traffic, crossing a junction here takes ages." Widening Bannerghatta Road The BBMP has started widening of Bannerghatta Road near the Jedimara and Kolifarm junctions. The existing road of 18-24 mtr will be widened to 45 mtr (160 feet) six-lane road that will also have two service roads along with 3 mtr wide medians to allow the Metro work. Once the work is taken up, the Palike will take up construction of TenderSure footpaths along the 7.44-km stretch on both sides.




As the land acquisition along the stretch has been delayed, the BBMP will take up work along various places where government land is available. We cannot delay the work as it has begun on around 1.5-km between the Jedimara and Nice Road junctions. The remaining stretch will be completed in various stages. We are already negotiating land acquisition with property owners along the stretch," he said.
The BBMP had proposed to widen the 7.5-km stretch between Jedi Mara and Chicken Farm on NICE Road to 45 metres. The road now has a width rang-ing between 18 and 24 metres at vari- ous points. The widened road will have slip road that is 5.50-mtr wide. The private properties to be acquired include 298 buildings, 117 vacant sites and 11 temples

Demonetization on Real Estate: No scope for correction As Housing Prices Is Already At Low, says CREDAI

Realtors' body CREDAI said on Saturday there is no further scope for correction in housing prices in the primary market post demonetization as rates are already ruling at the lowest level. Credai, however, said that the real estate industry fully and unequivocally supports the decision of the government to demonetise currency notes of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 in the national endeavour to eliminate black money, corruption, fake currency and terror financing.
The association in a statement said that the primary market is funded by banks and financial institutions which are all regulated entities. As such, cash component is not an integral element of the primary market. Therefore, Credai denies adverse impact on the primary real estate market arising out of demonetization. In fact, the primary segment is expected to gain at a rate of 15% YoY, the statement said.
The government's resolve to eliminate black money and corruption is in the interest of the common man as well as business and industry, it said. Real estate industry contributes 7% of country's GDP and is the second biggest employer after agriculture. Given the scale and size of the industry, it is imperative that Credai articulates the impact of demonetization on the industry and brings it to the knowledge of the general public, it said.
In the aftermath of demonetization move, banks are going to have additional funds upward of Rs 10 trillion. Hence, a fall in interest rates up to 200 basis points is expected. An early sign is seen with country's largest lender State Bank of India cutting its deposit rates by 1.75%.
According to Credai, we see home loan rates coming down from the present level of 9.25% to less than 7% in less than one year from now. This would bring down the EMI for the ultimate consumers. Credai expects the mop up of black money to also lead to higher tax collection and a lower rate of personal and corporate income tax from the next financial year onwards. In other words, the demonetization would put more money into the pocket of home purchasers through lower tax burden and incentives for home ownership.
The tendency towards lower rate of interest is also going to be strengthened by a low rate of inflation. Credai, comprising 11,500 real estate developers spread over 166 cities in 23 states in the country, is the apex body for private real estate developers in the country.

Bangalore and Mumbai, tops the realty investment destinations for 2017 in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) Region

Bangalore and Mumbai have become the top two realty investment destinations for 2017 in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, says a report. While capital of the Philippines, Manila got the third spot, Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam and Shenzhen in China stood fourth and fifth, respectively. 

The PwC-Urban Land Institute report further said that the domestic realty market as a whole has become a compelling story, thanks to the availability of high-quality assets that offer good yields as well as strong tenant demand and falling financing rates. In development category, Bengaluru retained the first spot followed by Ho Chi Minh City, Mumbai, Manila and Shenzhen, it said. 

Though Bengaluru topped in investment and development across APAC region, the headwinds facing the BPO industry -- the mainstay of city's realty market -- post Donal Trump's win in the US presidential election, needs to be seen how it will fare. "While Bangalore has emerged as the top real estate market in the country, peak growth in the city is now behind it. 

Strong demand from IT and e-commerce sectors is likely to continue, but questions over the long-term prospects of the BPO sector have emerged," PwC India partner & leader for real estate Abhishek Goenka said. Regarding Mumbai, the report said that the geography has prevented easy expansion of city's metropolitan area, which has made it both the most expensive city in the country and the slowest growing.

 But a major road and rail infrastructure programme will allow easier access to the centre from outlying areas, with most construction scheduled for completion before 2019, it noted. "Mumbai on the other hand, while constrained by geography, is now seeing a strong recovery with the market no longer dominated by financial players. Vacancies remain north of 20 per cent, but occupancy problems tend to affect only less desirable buildings, with good-quality assets continuing to see strong demand and rental growth," Goenka said. 

On the Delhi-NCR region as one of the country's most important commercial and logistics hubs, PwC's real estate tax partner Bhairav Dalal said, the faster growth of new infra work in the form of high-speed railway network in New Delhi bodes well for demand for commercial facilities

Real Estate Market Poised For Recovery in 2016


The Indian real estate market has been treading the slugging path for the last two years. There has been no recovery in buyers’ sentiment as prices remain stable, and there is less hope of capital appreciation in the short-term. 
In 2016, however, most of these factors will turn positive reversing buyers' as well as developers’ sentiments. Here’s a glimpse of how the Indian real estate market in 2016 will look like:
Lowered interest rates: The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has cut interest rates by 50 basis points in two rounds this year. Though the transfer of benefit by banks to their customers is much slower than expected, a few commercial banks are cutting interest rates for home loan seekers, giving the much needed boost to the sector. The positive effects of these cuts will become much more visible for the property for sale in India by the next year as those who are waiting for much deeper cuts will stop doing so and seal the deals.
Easy payment plans: Developers too are changing track to attract buyers into the residential markets. Builders with large debts and piling inventories are expected to ease the process of property investment with easy payment plans for homes. The prevalence of these schemes will help pick up buying properties in many cities as well as towns.
Tier II, Tier III cities rise: The property in India has witnessed large unsold inventories, a majority of which is in Tier I cities including Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad and Bangalore. This has prompted most of the developers, both big and small, to head to other upcoming tier II cities like Pune and Chennai where there is higher chance of capital appreciation along with the rising demand for luxury and semi-luxury apartments.
Other Tier II cities, like Indore, Chandigarh, Lucknow, Jaipur, Kochi, Coimbatore and Visakhapatnam, too are experiencing growth. The developments in these towns will be the biggest focus of the developers in 2016.
More affordable units: The change has already happened. A large number of developers are re-drawing their plans to converting 2BHK apartments into 1BHK apartments in India with fewer and simpler amenities. This will end the exclusive growth of luxury condominiums only in all the new locations, creating only posh localities out of most real estate hubs.
Increased FDI in realty: The government is planning 100 smart cities across India and other such projects similar to the GIFT city in Gujarat. These projects have already garnered huge interest in the NRI and other communities. The government has also made it easier for foreign direct investment (FDI) to flow in to Smart City projects. Such kind of money, in the form of private equity or seed funding, is expected to boost investment in the affordable segment, which will lead to growth in the real estate sector.
The sector has been slow for a very long time now. With enough boost from the government, this state of affairs is all set to change in 2016.

Market slowdown proving to be a boon for organised developers




Despite the sluggish market, organised developers are expanding their footprint by buying more land parcels to increase their market share. It seems like a good time for them to buy land and launch projects in the second half of the FY 2015-16, thereby cutting construction costs. Let’s take a closer look at how established developers are making the most of the market slowdown.
According to a recent report by Kotak Institutional Equities Research, organised developers saw a 14 per cent growth in the value of their total sales during the quarter ending September 2015, as compared to the same period a year ago. For instance, Godrej Properties sold Rs 1,480 crore worth of office space during the quarter. HDIL added Rs 200 crore of sales in its residential segment. Meanwhile, organised developers in Bangalore are ruling the charts.
As per findings by Kotak Institutional Research, developers in Bangalore sold more area during the quarter Jul-Sep 2015, as compared to the preceding quarter. Prashant Nath, Associate Vice President, Veez Capital says, “The Digital India campaign has led to tremendous growth in the city. An increasing number of start-ups are shifting base to areas in and around Bangalore.” In addition, leading developers including Oberoi and Indiabulls Real Estate recorded a dip in net debt during this period.
Increased private equity investments and buyer’s trust and confidence in established developers has propelled their growth in the sluggish times. “Improved sales for many organised developers are a result of increased investment by private equity firms,” elaborates Nath. In fact, the dull market is proving to be a blessing in disguise for organised developers across the country.
Under the uncertain times, buyers are adopting a cautious approach and are preferring to stick with less risky investment options available mostly with the organised developers. This is evident from the fact that many among these continued to gain market share during the quarter ending September 2015. On the other hand, new or unorganised developers are likely to exit the market or scale down during a period of inactivity.
According to another report by property research firm Liases Foras, residential sales in top eight metros registered 17 per cent growth in Jul-Sep 2015, as compared to the same period a year ago. Residential sales scaled up in the last quarter as improved sentiments led more buyers to finalise deals on the assumption that the market has bottomed out, explains the Liases Foras report. Repo rate cuts and subsequent reduction in home loan interest rates have also positively impacted the end-user offtake, say experts.

Real Estate Sector to See a Turnaround in 2015



By all indications, 2015 will be a turnaround year for the Indian real estate industry.

 As the early days of 2015 coast along, it is clear that the Indian economy is finally turning the corner. With GDP growth pegged at 5.5% this fiscal against 4.7% in the previous financial year, reports indicate that hiring in various sectors will gather traction this year, leading to better job and income prospects for salaried employees. All this augurs well for the Indian realty industry, which was beset with muted sentiments since the feel-good factor had been missing during the past few years. 

The turnaround in sentiment actually began with the election of the NDA Government via a clear mandate in May 2014. Thereafter, a series of incremental reforms and announcements augmented the feel-good factor across India, which benefits Indian industry as well as the real estate sector. Some of these measures include the incentives announced by RBI for infrastructure financing, the reduction in interest rates on home loans, incentives for affordable housing (with Rs4,000 crore being allocated for this), announcement of a framework for REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts) and relaxation of norms for foreign direct investment in construction. 

The Government’s initiative in relaxing complex FDI norms will help boost sentiment, leading to higher foreign inflows and more liquidity. Cash-strapped developers will find their liquidity problems easing in 2015. One factor consistently contributing to tepid end-user and investor interest in realty offerings has been the high interest rate regimen, which RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan steadfastly refused to lower last year, despite repeated requests from various stakeholders. But with inflation dropping to record lows in recent months, the RBI will finally take a call on reducing interest rates during the first quarter of this year.    

 Considering this scenario, developers are likely to come up with more offerings in the mid and affordable housing segments, rather than focussing purely on premium projects, where the margins are higher but off-take has been slower. These developments will help arouse buyer interest and trigger better sales in residential units compared to previous years. Despite sales picking up in the days ahead, prices will continue to remain stable since high inventory levels need to be reduced. Besides the above, there are other upcoming factors that will spur demand in the days ahead.

With SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India) notifying new norms for REITs in September 2014, this year should see the actual launch of REITs in India. REITs will help retail investors put down their money in realty ventures via a safer avenue for returns, while also helping developers improve liquidity even in testing market conditions. There are expectations that REITs could ultimately attract funds worth $20 billion. Whatever the inflow levels, REITs will help facilitate better demand.

The other real estate booster is the Ordinance on the Land Acquisition Act, which has relaxed many of the stringent norms on the consent, rehabilitation and resettlement clauses that had made land acquisition cumbersome and well-nigh impossible. This singular reform possesses the potential to spur new project developments in real estate and other industries. Another legislation awaiting Parliamentary approval is the Real Estate (Development and Regulation) Bill, pending for quite some time.


As and when finally approved, it will foster greater transparency in the sector, facilitate foreign investments and ease problems in raising capital from banks and other financial institutions. Finally, given the Government’s focus on affordable homes for all by 2022, the creation of 100 Smart Cities and infrastructure development across India, the real estate industry has much to look forward to in 2015.
