Tamil Nadu is among the worst states
when it comes to housing, a study
by the Union housing ministry has
found. About 11% of total housing shortage
in the country is in Tamil Nadu, which is only
a notch below Maharashtra when it comes
to low housing stock.
The shortage is expected to touch 29.53
million by 2012 and to fulfill this demand the
government needs to spend Rs 3,61,318
crore, about 39% of India’s estimated total tax
receipts for the current financial year. Tamil
Nadu also has the dubious distinction of
having the highest number of
homeless, about 7.3% of the
total homeless population in
the country. Chennai has
75% of them, according to
a study conducted by the
NGO, Indian Community
Welfare Organisation.
The numbers are higher
in places like Parrys,
Royapuram, Basin Bridge
and Wall Tax Road. As
per the housing ministry’s
figures, about 88.14% (21.78 million) of the
housing demand is among the economically
weaker sections (EWS), 11.7% (28.89
million) among the low income groups and
the balance 0.16% (0.4 million) among the
middle and high income groups.
In Tamil Nadu the state government has set
an agenda of providing pucca houses to all in
the next five years. “But this is hardly anything
compared to the total housing demand in
cities here. Chennai alone needs about
2.7 lakh houses for the EWS. Government
needs to look at public-private partnership
for fulfilling this demand. The government
should unlock its land parcels for housing
development and engage private builders,”
said T Chitty Babu, president, Tamil Nadu
chapter of the CREDAI.

Giving a thrust to investment in the
core infrastructure sector, the new
Tamil Nadu Government under the
Chief Ministership of Ms. J Jayalalithaa has
urged the Central Government’s support to
implement several urban and road sector
infrastructure projects in Tamil Nadu.
Foremost among them is the implementation of
an ambitious monorail project at an investment of
Rs 16,650-crore. In the first phase, the monorail
will cover 111 km and is to be completed in the
next two years at a rough cost Rs 150 crore/km.
It is a capital intensive but environment friendly
project, which the Centre could support under
the National Urban Transport Policy. This will
be extended in stages to 300 km and integrated
with the existing transportation systems.
Ms Jayalalithaa has also requested that the
Centre expedite the process of getting Japan
International Cooperation Agency assistance for
the Rs 1,075-crore second stage of the Chennai
Outer Ring Road project. The first phase of Rs
1,081 crore is now under implementation.
To strengthen urban infrastructure, the State
needs over Rs 20,000 crore over the next five
years to cover water supply, drainage, waste
disposal and road infrastructure. The State
Government estimates that Rs 9,500 crore will
be needed to revamp and augment waste water
supply in the urban local bodies; Rs 5,700 crore
to renovate about 18,000 km of the 39,500 km
urban roads; Rs 3,000 crore for solid waste
management with scientific landfills; Rs 1,100
crore for sewer networks; and Rs 700 crore for
new Urban Health Centres.
New Tamil Nadu Government to focus on infrastructure
Editor’s NoteLast week saw the RBI increasing the base rate for the 10th time since March 2010 to 7.5 percent. The rationale behind this move was to control high inflation which stood at 8.37 percent. There seems to be a short term myopic view trying to control the expense side of things rather than addressing production and supply side issues. Banks are likely to increase their lending rates for their home, auto and personal loans correspondingly which would result in the customer shelving more out of their pockets in the next few months. Housing prices may rise by 5-10 percent in the next 3-6 months as the cost of funds for developers is expected to increase. This will also slow down the demand for housing as customers are likely to postpone their purchases.
In this week’s newsletter, we take a look at the state of housing affairs in Tamil Nadu with the state being ranked second in the country for shortage of housing. While this could be interpreted as an opportunity for the real estate promoters, it must be kept in mind that most of the demand is for low budget housing within a budget of Rs.20-25 lakhs. The new Tamil Nadu government’s willingness to focus on the core area of infrastructure is a welcome change as compared to their previous two terms. Large scale investments would serve to generate jobs and create wealth resulting in overall growth of the state and its citizens. Take a look at our coverage on the status of PE investment in India across various sectors in the first half of the year followed by our regular round up of interesting news from the real estate sector.
Keep an eye for our forthcoming edition of Chennai Realty, wherein we plan to cover key topics like Property Joint Ventures, Service Tax, Vaasthu for kitchen, City’s Top Project update and City real estate pricing sum up. Do give us your feedback and suggestions which will help us improve our standards both in terms of quality and content.

An inter-ministerial group headed by cabinet secretary KM Chandrasekhar has cleared a Tamil Nadu government
proposal to set up a petroleum, chemicals and petrochemicals investment region (PCPIR) to attract Rs 1,00,000 crore in investment. The centre has directed the state government to come up with phased investment on support infrastructure, including rail, air and sea connectivity shortly. Tamil Nadu will set up the region over 25,683 hectares across Cuddalore and Nagapattinam districts in the state. Of this, 40 per cent of the land would be for processing and the remaining would be earmarked for non-processing activities, said a senior government official privy to the development.
Nagarjuna Oil Corporation (NOCL) is the anchor investor for the region. NOCL is a joint venture between Tamil Nadu Industrial Development Corporation (TIDCO) and Nagarjuna Fertilisers and Chemicals (NFCL). The joint venture is setting up a refinery project in the region with a capacity of six million tonnes a year. NOCL has invested Rs 4,500 crore and has projected an additional investment
of Rs 5,000 crore in the region by February 2012. It has plans to invest Rs 12,500 crore in expanding the refinery project to 15 million tonnes by 2015.
The second anchor investor in the region will be Chennai Petroleum Corporation (CPCL), which plans to establish an integrated 15 million tonnes per annum refinery and petrochemical complex. The oil ministry pointed out at the high-powered committee meeting that CPCL has been offered land by TIDCO in Raman¬athapuram, which falls outside the proposed PCPIR.
The centre has agreed to provide budgetary support of Rs 4,285 crore for st¬rengthening NH-45A, up-grading state highways and doubling and electrification of the Viluppuram-Mayiladuthurai railway line. In addition, the region will be eligible to receive Rs 660 crore through viability gap funding for a desalination and common effluent treatment plant. Meanwhile, the government has also decided to allow existing special economic zones in the region to be governed by the SEZs Act. In effect, these projects will continue to get fiscal incentives and tax concessions under the act.
The Indian Institute of Human Settlements (IIHS) - exclusively dedicated to urban and civic affairs will be set up in Bangalore at a cost of Rs 250 crore. According to Mr. Aromar Revi, a development consultant, researcher and academic, “The main campus will come up at Kengeri and will occupy 58 acres with a built-up area of roughly 0.5 million square feet. Work on planning the first phase of the campus has started. The campus is expected to set global standards for efficient, economic and sustainable design, operations and maintenance. It will aggregate and demonstrate the talents of India’s best designers, construction agencies and artisans”.
IIHS is the creation of a group of leading entrepreneurs, intellectuals and professionals including Nandan Nilekani, Shirish Patel, Rakesh Mohan, Deepak Parekh, Vijay Kelkar, Jamshyd Godrej, Deepak Satwalekar, Xerxes Desai, Nasser Munjee, Renana Jhabvala, Kishore Mariwala, Rahul Mehrotra, Pradeep Saxena and Revi.
This is expected to jump to about 36.9 million sq ft this year. Rentals have started to inch up in a few locations. Consultancy firm Cushman & Wakefield says that in the office hub of Gurgaon, for instance, rentals have grown by 5-10 percent. In Bangalore, it is up 10-15 percent, Chennai by 4-9 percent, Kolkata by 10-19 percent and Mumbai by 10-13 percent, depending on the location.
According to real estate consultancy firm Jones Lang LaSalle, the net absorption of space in 2010 was 30.5 million sq ft, up 35 percent from 19.6 million sq ft in 2009.
