After almost eight quarters of slow movement of inventory

in Mumbai, marginal improvement was witnessed in

select micro markets at introductory level. Both, end-

users and investors shy away from high valued

apartments, but they continue to show interest in mid-

range and affordable housing projects located in western

suburbs and peripheral areas of Mumbai. This demand

was also driven by various promotional schemes by

developers like waiver of stamp duty & registration fee,

attractive financial plans, freebies, part payment scheme

like pay part down payment now and the rest on

possession etc. in order to revive the demand.

Despite revived interest among buyers, 1Q 2015

witnessed fewer new project launches as compared to

last quarter. This is expected to dip further as developers

are holding back their new launch decisions in view of

further clarification on the new development plan. Some

of the projects launched in the premium segment include,

“Oberoi Eternia” by Oberoi Realty at Mulund, “AltaVista”

by Spenta Corporation at Chembur.

, “Kanakia Paris” by Kanakia Spaces at BKC, “K Hemani”

by Hemani Group at Kandivali (E) and “Runwal Bliss” by

Runwal Group at Kanjurmarg (E). These projects were

priced in the range of INR10,500 – 23,500 per sq ft.

There is a substantial decline in completion of premium

projects across Mumbai. The project completed this

quarter was “Ahuja Tower” by Ahuja Construction at

Prabhadevi, This project is priced at INR 52,000 per sq ft

in secondary market.

Despite of low demand the capital values in the

secondary market, in south central and central suburbs

increased marginally in the range of 1 – 3% QoQ.

However, in the western suburbs, capital values

increased in the range of 3 – 8% QoQ. Rents across the

city were remained stable, except in the western suburb

where rents marginally up in the range of 2 – 3% QoQ.

Colliers View

The city had witnessed cautious optimism, which is

expected to unlock the pent up demand over the next

few quarters and more precisely, around the festive

season of Ganesh Chaturthi and Diwali. In short term

we anticipate less project launches due to uncertainty

over development plan which may have different

guidelines for open space regulations, height restriction

of buildings and general utilisation of space etc.
