Investment Rationale

Macro-economic Factors 

India has emerged as one of the world’s fastest growing major economies. The overall macro-economic scenario in the country is very positive with low inflation, reduced key interest rates, low commodity prices, rising foreign investments and improved global confidence in the region. Different structural reforms and government initiatives have led to revival of growth across all the sectors. A combination of all these factors is likely to boost the construction sector in the country. 

Real estate sector in India is expected to reach a market size of US$ 180 billion by 2020. More than 70 per cent of India’s GDP will be contributed by the urban areas by 2020 and FDI in the sector is estimated to grow to US$ 25 billion by FY22

Rapid urbanisation is good for the sector and it is creating ever growing demand. Demand for residential properties has surged due to increased urbanisation and rising household income. India is among the top 10 price appreciating housing markets internationally.  About 10 million people migrate to cities every year and 35 % of the population is in young age bracket (15-35 years). Growing economy driving demand for commercial and retail space. With all this, the housing sector is expected to boom and its share in GDP expected to rise from 6.3% in 2013 to 11% by 2020.

Government Initiatives

The government of India came up with two major projects that are likely to enhance the real estate demand in the country. The first being creation of 100 smart cities and second is ‘Housing for all’ project. Government of India’s 'Housing for All' initiative is expected to bring US$ 1.3 trillion investments in the housing sector by 2025. Under this scheme, 60 million houses are to be built which include 40 million in rural areas and 20 million in urban area by 2022.

Real Estate Bill was passed  to establish a real estate regulatory authority (RERA) for regulating and promoting the sector. The government has already taken several below steps to boost the real estate sector 

• Real Estate Regulatory Act • Benami Transactions Act • Boost to affordable housing construction • Interest subsidy to home buyers • Change in arbitration norms • Service tax exemption • Dividend Distribution Tax (DDT) exemption • Goods and Services Tax • Demonetisation • PR for foreign investors

The introduction of RERA has enabled the greater transparency and ensures that the interests of all interested parties and in particular the consumer, are protected. It ensures a consistent metric of measurement and puts in place requisite timelines. The builder also has to provide an affidavit declaring that the land has clear title and is free from any encumbrances. All these initiatives if implemented well will go a great way towards enhancing the credibility of the segment.
