INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

The real estate sector is one of the most globally recognized sectors. In India, real estate is the second largest employer

after agriculture and is slated to grow at 30 per cent over the next decade. The real estate sector comprises four sub sectors

- housing, retail, hospitality, and commercial. The growth of this sector is well complemented by the growth of the

corporate environment and the demand for office space as well as urban and semi-urban accommodations. The

construction industry ranks third among the 14 major sectors in terms of direct, indirect and induced effects in all sectors

of the economy.

It is also expected that this sector will incur more non-resident Indian (NRI) investments in both the short term and the

long term. Bengaluru is expected to be the most favoured property investment destination for NRIs, followed by

Ahmedabad, Pune, Chennai, Goa, Delhi and Dehradun.

The Indian real estate market is expected to touch US$ 180 billion by 2020. The housing sector alone contributes 5-6 per

cent to the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

In the period FY2008-2020, the market size of this sector is expected to increase at a Compound Annual Growth Rate

(CAGR) of 11.2 per cent. Retail, hospitality and commercial real estate are also growing significantly, providing the

much-needed infrastructure for India's growing needs.

The private equity investments in real estate increased 26 per cent to a nine-year high of nearly Rs 40,000 crore (US$ 6.01

billion) in 2016.

Sectors such as IT and ITeS, retail, consulting and e-commerce have registered high demand for office space in recent

times. The office space absorption in 2016 across the top eight cities amounted to 34 million square feet (msf) with

Bengaluru recording the highest net absorption during the year. Information Technology and Business Process

Management sector led the total leasing table with 52 per cent of total space uptake in 2016. Mumbai is the best city in

India for commercial real estate investment, with returns of 12-19 per cent likely in the next five years, followed by

Bengaluru and Delhi-National Capital Region (NCR).

Government Initiatives:

The Government of India along with the governments of the respective states has taken several initiatives to encourage the

development in the sector. The Smart City Project, where there is a plan to build 100 smart cities, is a prime opportunity

for the real estate companies. Below are some of the other major Government Initiatives:

The Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation has sanctioned the construction of 84,460 more affordable

houses for urban poor in five states, namely West Bengal, Jharkhand, Punjab, Kerala and Manipur under the Pradhan

Mantri Awas Yojana (Urban) scheme with a total investment of Rs 3,073 crore (US$ 460 million).

The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) has approved various measures to revive the construction

sector, putting in place a mechanism to release funds stuck in arbitration awards to revive stalled projects.

Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has introduced a single-window clearance for construction which will

cut the time taken for getting approvals for a building project and lead to correction in prices of residential property,

thereby giving a fillip to Mumbai realty.

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has proposed easier regulations for real estate investment trusts

(REITs), such as raising the cap of investment of REITs’ assets in under-construction projects from 10 per cent to 20

per cent, in order to attract the interest of developers, and also plans to relax the rules for foreign fund managers to

relocate to India.

SEBI has allowed Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPI) to invest in units of Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs),

infrastructure investment trusts (InvITs), category III alternative investment funds (AIFs), and also permitted them to

acquire corporate bonds under default.

The Rajya Sabha or the upper house of the Parliament has passed the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Bill,

2013, which aims to protect consumer interest, ensure efficiency in all property related transactions, improve

accountability of real estate developers, increase transparency and attract more investments into the realty sector in

India.

Road Ahead:

Responding to an increasingly well-informed consumer base and, bearing in mind the aspect of globalisation, Indian real

estate developers have shifted gears and accepted fresh challenges. The most marked change has been the shift from

family owned businesses to that of professionally managed ones. Real estate developers, in meeting the growing need for

managing multiple projects across cities, are also investing in centralised processes to source material and organise

manpower and hiring qualified professionals in areas like project management, architecture and engineering.

The growing flow of FDI into Indian real estate is encouraging increased transparency. Developers, in order to attract

funding, have revamped their accounting and management systems to meet due diligence standards.
