State of Real Estate For the month of June 2014

16 July 2014PhillipCapital (India) Pvt. Ltd.

The month that was‐ NCR (National Capital Region) is where the action is after the new Central Govt. From the largest ever housing scheme to cost audits on Real Estate companies, expect a lot of action in the NCR market. Finally REITS look like a reality (see our October 2013 edition). The key developments which took place in June 2014 – • Delhi Development Authority (DDA) to roll out 'largest‐ever' housing scheme by

July end : DDA will be rolled out for city‐ dwellers by July end, offering over 26,000 flats across various categories. (see pg 5)

• DDA asked for land policy: A parliamentary panel has asked DDA to finalize its land pooling policy and involve the private sector and cooperative group housing societies in meeting the housing needs in Delhi.

• Delhi government orders cost audit for real estate: The government on June 30 ordered maintenance of cost records and audit for real estate companies, hospitals and educational institutions to drive in transparency and keep a check on their costing.

• Land allotment rates and circle rates hiked in parts of NCR‐ Land allotment rates and circle rates hiked in Ghaziabad while Land allotment rates have been hiked in Noida as well.

• Gurgaon to get more electricity ‐ Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA) announced on June 17 a budget of Rs 26.9bn to develop the electricity infrastructure in the upcoming sectors.

• Starwood hotels to set up 100 hotels in India: Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc., one of the world’s largest hospitality chains, plans to expand its reach by setting up 100 hotels in India by the end of 2015.

• Karnataka scraps green panel: the Karnataka government has scrapped the State Environmental Clearance Committee (SECC), which was in place for the last 29 years. This will enable the government to approve many small and medium industrial, infrastructure, mining and biotech projects among others without any review of their significant environmental and social impacts. (pg 10)

• Investors ready $1 billion war chest for office assets in India: Foreign private equity funds and pension funds are among investors that over the last 12 months have committed to invest more than $1 billion to buy or build commercial property in India as the government works to finalize rules governing real estate investment trusts ( REITs).

• Only 38 of Mumbai’s 157 infrastructure projects completed CAG: The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) of India has, in a strongly worded audit report, rapped the Mumbai Metropolitan Regional Development Authority (MMRDA) and the principal secretary, state urban development department, for completing only 38 out of the city’s proposed 157 infrastructure projects. (pg 2)

• Budget Highlights: Introduction of REITs coupled with relaxation in FDI conditions i.e. reduction in built‐up area requirement from 50000 sq mt to 20,000 sq. mt, and minimum capitalization from $ 10 million to $ 5 million is a step in the right direction and would increase liquidity in the funding of real estate projects. Also, increased disposable income by way of higher standard deduction on income earned, and, higher tax deduction limit on interest on housing loan for self‐occupied property are going to boost short term sentiments.

Mumbai

• MMRDA gives Rs 5bn boost to Colaba‐Seepz Metro: The MMRDA has sanctioned Rs 5bn for the Colaba‐Bandra‐Seepz Metro corridor in its 2014‐15 budget, thus giving the project a much‐needed fillip. The amount is sufficient to begin initial work. The low allocation for Metro‐II, which has been delayed due to a lack of environmental clearance for a depot, means it will be a non‐starter this financial year as well.

• Kharghar offers maximum new projects in Navi Mumbai: Kharghar, a node city of Navi Mumbai, is witnessing significant residential development. Over 20 new projects are slated to come up in the locality in the next one year. These are under construction and ready‐to‐move‐in units. The large amount of supply in the residential sector is because of increasing demand for property in the area. According to PropIndex (JanuaryMarch 2014), the quarterly India Apartment Index by MagicBricks.com, Kharghar was ranked at the top in the list of the top ten preferred localities of Mumbai in the said quarter.

• Only 38 of city’s 157 infrastructure projects completed CAG: The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) of India has, in a strongly worded audit report, rapped the Mumbai Metropolitan Regional Development Authority (MMRDA) and the principal secretary, state urban development department, for completing only 38 out of the city’s proposed 157 infrastructure projects. The total cost of the Mumbai Urban Infrastructure Project (MUIP) was estimated at Rs 26.47bn. Instead the MMRDA spent Rs 37.35bn for 38 works. The MMRDA was conceived as a planning body and the MUIP was the first project which it also executed. The MUIP master plan, prepared by the MMRDA, was approved in November 2003 and was to be completed in 2006. However, work on the ground started only in 2006.

• CIDCO appeals project PAPs in cluster development: City Industrial Development Corporation of Maharashtra Limited (CIDCO) on June 17 appealed project affected persons (PAPs) to participate in the cluster development scheme for a well‐planned, improved and economically beneficial living. CIDCO is willing to extend all possible assistance and can implement the cluster development scheme in a village as a pilot project if the PAPs are willing to participate in the scheme.

• Mumbai Metro services to be extended till Thane: From Ghatkopar, the first metro would be extended to Wadala towards Mumbai, Teen Haat Naka and Kasarwadavli towards Thane to form the metro region’s fourth route. government is expecting a final feasibility report on this route within a month’s time. The detailed report from Rites is expected by August 15.

• Mumbai’s township projects awaiting environment clearance: About 900 residential and industrial township projects in the state of Maharashtra, mostly in Mumbai, awaiting environment clearance may soon get a push. The deputy chief minister on June 2 assured that state would soon take up the legislators’ demand to increase the condition of construction area for environmental clearance from 20,000sq m to beyond to exclude smaller projects from “tricky” clearances, with the Centre.

• Maharashtra drops sea‐links for Mumbai, opts for coastal road: The Maharashtra government has submitted its proposal to the Centre to construct 35 km coastal road between Nariman Point and Kandivli in the western suburb. The project, with about 18 access points along the entire road, entails an investment of Rs 80bn. The government will soon appoint the state run Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) or the BrihanMumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) as the nodal agency for the project which will be implemented through a joint venture route.

• The Mumbai Metro – A real estate game‐changer: Transportation infrastructure economics have historically proven to have a positive impact on real estate values in a city like Mumbai ‐ residential and commercial properties located close to transportation infrastructure tend to command a premium. o Near‐Term Impact: Developers' interest in projects near the Metro has been

increasing since the start of construction. With the commencement of the project, the surrounding region will definitely experience a certain boom in terms of new offerings and price hikes. Rates on both the commercial and residential market will increase, as the properties of northern SBD, BKC and SBD central are the most preferred locations for investors.

o Medium ‐ Term Impact: Intra and inter‐connectivity in SBD North and the Eastern suburbs will increase tremendously, given the capacity of 7 lakh passengers per day added by the Metro. Concurrently, East‐West connectivity will benefit the maximum by this project, which will reduce the burden on JVLR and SCLR (the current East‐West corridors).

• Noida builders unable to hand over completed homes as National Green Tribunal stops delivery: Builders in Noida are unable to hand over more than 30,000 completed homes to their buyers, because of a National Green Tribunal order forbidding the Noida Authority from giving completion certificates to projects within a 10‐kilometre radius of the Okhla bird sanctuary.

• Delhi to propose 100 m eco‐sensitive zone around Okhla Bird Sanctuary: Echoing the Uttar Pradesh Government’s proposal in January to notify 100 metres around the Okhla Bird Sanctuary as “eco‐sensitive zone”, the Delhi Government’s Forest Department is set to propose the same. As per a directive issued by the National Board for Wildlife (NBW) in 2005, a radius of 10 km around sanctuaries — which in the instance of Okhla will affect a number of proposed real estate projects — is to be considered an eco‐sensitive zone.

• Redeveloped government colonies in Delhi may offer homes, offices to public:. The public sector National Buildings Construction Corp (NBCC), which has the mandate to redevelop government colonies, is considering selling or leasing some parts of Netaji Nagar, Kasturba Nagar and Tyagaraj Nagar. Delhi has about 30 colonies, covering an aggregate 1,100 hectares of prime land, for housing assorted ranks of government officials. The government plans to redevelop these colonies, most of which are old.

• Land allotment rates hiked by 10% in Noida, YEIDA: New Okhla Industrial Development Authority (Noida) and Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) approved a 10 per cent hike in land allotment rates in their board meeting. The residential sector rates per square meter after hike range from Rs 68,750, Rs 47,920, Rs 34,900, Rs 29,170 and Rs 25,000 for category A,B,C,D and E.

The home, on a 2,920 sq yard plot with 10,000 sq ft of built‐up space, is down the road.

• SC order on Noida projects puts ball back in National Board of Wildlife’s court: The Supreme Court order on June 10 dismissing a plea by real estate firm Jaypee Infrastructure that the Noida Authority grant completion certificates for its constructions projects located in a yet‐to‐be delineated “eco‐sensitive area” of the Okhla Bird Sanctuary has put the ball back in the State Government’s court.

• SC allows Supertech to remove temporary structures: The Supreme Court allowed Supertech Ltd to remove temporary structures from its project, Emerald Court in Noida, as it could prove dangerous during rain and thunderstorms.

• Circle rates to go up in Noida, Ghaziabad: Following the hike in land allotment rates in Noida, the UP stamp and registry department is all set to increase circle rates in Noida, Greater Noida and Ghaziabad. The revised circle rates will be implemented from August 1 in both Gautam Budh Nagar and Ghaziabad.

• Delhi government orders cost audit for real estate: The government on June 30 ordered maintenance of cost records and audit for real estate companies, hospitals and educational institutions to drive in transparency and keep a check on their costing. The move will bring in the much‐required transparency in fixing of prices in areas like housing and treatment costs at hospitals, while keeping a check on the fee charged by private educational institutions.

• New apartment act in Delhi dumps co‐ops: Close to 20 lakh people live in Delhi’s apartment blocks for whome buying, selling and transferring property or applying for loans against their property is a bureaucratic hurdle with lots of paperwork and corruption. Delhi Apartment Ownership (DAO) 1987 Act had simplified the process for the flat owners by letting the builder or promoter of the flat execute a lease deed, which worked like a sale deed, and spared the owner from paperwork to correctly furnish title of the property and apply for freehold.

• Delhi requires power to acquire land: Joining the chorus for a review of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement (RFCTLARR) Act, 2013, Delhi government has put forth before the

– 5 of 19 –


Centre the urgent need to empower Delhi with the powers to acquire land. All new infrastructure projects that require land acquisition cannot take off till the Centre delegates powers to Delhi which falls under the category of union territory under the Act that came into force earlier this year on January 1.

• Delhi downsizes as NCR population booms, census data shows: Recently released census data shows that between 2001 and 2011, population in Mumbai, Kolkata and two inner districts of Delhi declined, while in Hyderabad and Chennai only a small increase took place. But surrounding regions of these cities showed phenomenal growth indicating a shifting center of gravity in metropolises. Declining populations in some of the metropolises is notable though unsurprising. These cities are unable to absorb further migration due to high cost of living, explains RB Bhagat, head of migration and urban studies at the Mumbai‐based International Institute for Population Sciences.

• Only 35% allotted industrial plots in Greater Noida in use: Less than 35% of land allotted for industrial purposes by the Greater Noida Authority is being actively utilized. Lamenting the fact, the Noida Entrepreneurs Association (NEA) said only 771 of the 2,248 industrial plots sanctioned by the authority are in active use. This, at a time when CM Akhilesh Yadav is inviting investors to Noida, Greater Noida and Yamuna Expressway.

• Greater Noida to IGI Airport Metro link on fast‐track: The Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) is getting ready to fast‐track its plan of connecting a 66‐km route between Greater Noida and the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport via a high‐speed metro link. Having completed the feasibility report for the project, final touches are being given to the project’s detailed project report.

• New Gurgaon sectors to get Rs 26.9bn power infrastructure: Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA) announced on June 17 a budget of Rs 26.9bn to develop the electricity infrastructure in the upcoming sectors.

• DDA asked for land policy: A parliamentary panel has asked DDA to finalize its land pooling policy and involve the private sector and cooperative group housing societies in meeting the housing needs in Delhi. The standing committee on urban development, in report in Parliament, said the agency should set year wise targets for the construction of affordable houses. The panel said it has estimated an additional housing stock requirement of about 24 lakh dwelling units.

• Haryana asked to report on Mangar buffer: Haryana’s decision to demarcate only 60 metres of buffer around Mangar Bani sacred grove in Aravalis as “no construction zone” has become a bone of contention between the state and National Capital Region Planning Board. The board’s secretariat has written to Haryana government seeking a compliance report on this issue since the state had agreed committed to earmark 500 metres around the forest for no construction activity.

• Owning a farmhouse in NCR gets tougher: In a decision which will hit the lifestyles and ambitions of several rich and elite residents of the Millennium City, the Haryana government on June 4 decided to stop issuing change of land use (CLU) licences for farmhouses in agricultural zones falling under highly sensitive zones. Agriculture land in the National Capital Region (NCR) – particularly around Aravali – is considered a highly sensitive zone. Officials in the department of town and country planning (DTCP) said the decision was taken considering the misuse of farmhouses for commercial activities.

Bangalore • KPMG plans to lease over 0.7 mn sq ft of office space in Bangalore: KPMG plans to

lease in Bangalore over 0.7 mn sft of office space, the largest office space absorption so far in the country's commercial office space this year, as it plans to add about 10,000 professionals to its workforce over the next four years across India. RMZ has locked in 0.76 mn sq ft in RMZ Ecoworld for KPMG, which will be taken up in phases. In the first phase it will occupy 4.6 lakh sq ft, while balance 3 lakh sq ft will be occupied in the second phase, that is yet to be built and will depend on KPMG's requirement.

• Flipkart leases office space in Bangalore: Flipkart has leased 0.15mn sq ft of commercial office space across three locations in Bangalore, as it seeks to expand operations and consolidate. The leasing deals, done in March and April, are the biggest by any online retailer in the country so far.

• BCIC’s plan to decongest city: a new capital for State: The State government should explore the possibility of setting up a new capital somewhere in central Karnataka. The idea, apparently, was mooted during Bangalore Chamber of Industry & Commerce (BCIC) Karnataka Economic Summit of December last year by former chief secretary A. Ravindra, an expert on urban development matters.

• Brigade launches new residential project in Bangalore: Brigade Enterprises has launched a new residential project at Brigade Meadows on Kanakapura Road in Bangalore. The project called Wisteria, next to the Art of Living campus in Bangalore, will consist of 2‐ and 3‐ bedroom luxury apartments ranging from 1,120‐1,630 square feet. The 1 bedroom apartment size will range from 680 to 900 square feet. The company has announced a launch price of Rs. 45.5 lakh (basic cost).

• Civic infrastructure leads to development in Bangalore: The upgradation of civic infrastructure enabled the opening up of areas in the peripheries. The Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has planned to upgrade civic infrastructure in the Central Business District (CBD) adhering to Tender SURE guidelines. This will ensure good quality roads without the need to dig them up frequently with separate space allotted for utilities. Along with Metro connectivity, this will lead to increased interest in the CBD and premium residential localities around. The BBMP plans to widen the key arterial roads around the city, such as Sarjapur Road, Kanakapura Road and Bannerghatta Road. Planned connectivity to these key commercial and residential locations through the Metro has turned them into prime micro‐markets.

• HC puts brakes on Akrama‐Sakrama in Bangalore: The much touted Akrama‐Sakrama, the scheme to regularize building violations, will have to wait for some more time to be implemented in Bangalore. Stating that it isn’t conducive for the state government to go ahead with legislation on such issues, the Karnataka high court on June 20 passed an interim order restraining the government from going ahead with implementation of the scheme till the Bangalore Metropolitan Planning Committee (BMPC) is duly constituted.

• Infopark pacts with Brigade Group to set up hotel at campus: Brigade Group has tied up with Infopark to set up a hotel property at the latter's campus at Kakkanad near here. The hotel will come up in 97 cents of land leased for 90 years (1 acre equals 100 cents).

• Karnataka scraps green panel: the Karnataka government has scrapped the State Environmental Clearance Committee (SECC), which was in place for the last 29 years. This will enable the government to approve many small and medium industrial, infrastructure, mining and biotech projects among others without any review of their significant environmental and social impacts.

Chennai

• Chennai developers roll out deals to boost sales: Over 100 new properties in Chennai now come packaged with deals to attract home buyers. They range from free registration, discounts of Rs 50‐300 per sq ft, free modular kitchens, free woodwork, wardrobes, discounts up to Rs 2 lakh, Rs 25,000 as a token if you have referred another prospective buyer and up to 7 per cent discount for a limited time period. In an attempt to increase sales, renowned and city‐based developers have tried this attractive way to be crowd stealers in Jalladiampet, Nanmangalam, Pallikarnai, Porur, Sholinganallur, Sithalapakkam, Thiruvanmiyur, Perumbakkam, Padi and Veerapuram.

• Chennai is among world’s top 12 realty markets: Globally acclaimed design house Savills, Candy & Candy, and Deutsche Asset & Wealth Management report says that Chennai is among the twelve rising cities that would outdo the prime global cities in terms of real estate. What is cited as the reason is the fact that it is a cultural hub.“Prices in these rising cities are generally much lower than in the world cities, which make them more accessible and attractive to yield‐seeking real estate investors.

• Construction in Chennai hit by checks on lorries: A crackdown by the transport department on vehicles overloading construction material and bringing them into the city has hit the supply and demand, affecting several projects and sending the price of materials like cement and steel soaring. The industry has appealed for government intervention, stating nearly one‐fourth of all construction activity has been affected

• Buyer sentiment is weak: India’s residential sector is passing through interesting times. Here are the top trends as seen over the past three quarters o Supply – is showing signs of cyclical ups and downs depending on launches.

Affordable and lower‐priced residential corridors such as Greater Noida and NH‐8 (NCR‐Delhi), Western Suburbs and Thane (Mumbai), Whitefield and Hosur Road (Bangalore) and Southern Suburbs (Chennai) were the prime drivers of new launches.

o Demand – is on the slowing curve in NCR‐Delhi, but stable in all other cities, primarily on the back of new launches in emerging residential corridors. NCR‐Delhi contributed over one‐third of total new launches.

o Vacancy rate – in terms of available apartment units has risen across all cities and, barring Pune and Hyderabad, is at new market highs.

o Rents – have risen marginally across the residential markets of all the major cities such as Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai and Pune.

o Capital values – have steadily risen across cities. Slowing sales has tempered price growth in the Tier 1 cities. Select residential corridors have shown price increments due to new launches at higher prices and subsequent price increases in surrounding projects. Overall, on a pan‐India basis, prices have risen by less than two per cent q‐o‐q for the past three quarters. Tier‐II cities have shown the fastest growth due to lower floor prices, with similar reasons contributing to growth in Chennai.

o Emerging corridors – developers explored newer corridors in cities, such as Sohna and NH‐24 (NCR‐Delhi), Ulwe and Karanjade (Mumbai) and Hennur Road (Bangalore) to offer lower‐priced projects to buyers.

o Infrastructure – projects planned and underway were positioned as pull factors for residential projects launched in the vicinity of such developments. New highways and Metro connectivity raised the attraction quotient for upcoming locations.

o Buyer/investor sentiment – remains weak given the high interest rates and rising residential prices. Investors have become cautious and are investing in select projects. By staying away, they have affected investor‐driven, speculative residential markets. Buyers have become fence‐sitters, waiting for economic headwinds to improve and better credit conditions.

o Developers – have shown more flexibility in offering discounts and are looking towards proactive policy changes. They are also targeting emerging corridors for low‐ticket project launches.

Budget Highlights

Budget Proposals PhillipCapital Perspective

Introduction of REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts), which will have pass through for the purpose of taxation i.e. SPV formed is not require to pay distribution tax while distributing profits to its investors. This result in avoidance of double taxation.

Positive for the sector as REIT not only provides the efficient and flexibility to raise capital but also provide liquidity i.e. an alternative to exit option to investors. Developers now use REITs to exit and rotate funds for credit crunch, liquidity of real assets and execution of property developments. Positive for DLF (29.35 mn sqft; rental revenues Rs 20bn), Prestige (7.45mn sqft; rentals Rs4bn) and Phoenix (5.31mn sqft; rentals Rs 3bn).

The proposed changes in FDI for real estate sector to provide habitation for the neo‐middle class, requirement of the built up area and capital conditions for FDI is being reduced from 50,000 sq mtr to 20,000 sq mtr and from USD 10 million to USD 5 million respectively with a three year post completion lock in. The projects which commit at least 30 per cent of the total project cost for low cost affordable housing will be exempted from minimum built up area and capitalisation requirements, with the condition of three year lock‐in.

The reduction in built‐up area and size of projects will allow mid‐sized and smaller developers with good track records better access to FDI and boost affordable housing in the country. Positive for Mahindra Life space and Puravankara

Higher tax exemption limits on interest on loan in respect of self occupied house property from Rs1.5 lakh to Rs 2 lakh and increase of deduction limit from Rs 1 lakh to Rs 1.5 lakh under Section 80C towards principal repayments for home buyers.

The tax benefit on housing loan interest for self‐occupied property has remained constant at Rs. 150,000 since 2001. However, real estate cost has increased many times and so is the quantum of loan which needs to be availed. An increase in exemption limit for self‐occupied property can result in additional tax savings and will help the realty sector.
