The Real Estate India Pavilion will bring together several of the country's leading real estate and property developers who will showcase an extended portfolio of high return commercial properties in India.

Shuckri Bundakji, Managing Director, DSL Exhibitions, said, 'Our decision to hold the Real Estate India Pavilion as part of the Worldwide Property Show was made considering the exponential growth of the Indian economy and the resultant boom in the country's property and real estate sector. Moreover, the Gulf and the UAE in particular have a significant number of potential investors who are interested in exploring viable high return investment opportunities in commercial properties in India.'

Anil Rana, Director, Voxpop Entertainment, who are in charge of managing the India Real Estate Pavilion said, 'We are glad to be associated with a reputed exhibition such as the Worldwide Property Show and we look forward to reaping rich rewards at the event. The real estate and property sector across India has been flourishing in the recent years, reflecting the remarkable economic progress the country has been achieving of late. This creates an ideal scenario for us to present some of the most sought-after real estate India  projects to potential investors in the Gulf.'

Driven by positive growth in the economy, real estate India is booming. The year 2006 started on a promising note when the Government of India opened the construction and development sector in February 2006, and allowed 100 per cent foreign direct investment (FDI) under the 'automatic route' in order to spur investment in the vital infrastructure sector.

The development of real estate India focuses on two primary areas - retail and residential. The global real-estate consulting group Knight Frank has ranked India 5th in the list of 30 emerging retail markets and predicted an impressive 20 per cent growth rate for the organised retail segment by 2010. The organised segment is expected to grow from a mere 2 per cent to 20 per cent by the end of the decade.

DSL Exhibitions has also tied up with Ideal Management Essentials (IME) to host the first ever Property Finance Seminar and Exhibition as part of the Worldwide Property Show. A combination of seminar and face to face meetings at the exhibition stand is available for clients to better comprehend the available financial offerings in the field of real estate India.

Delhi real estate is the hottest, newest of Indian cities that have seen rapid growth in the near past. In fact it would not be wrong to say that the town is still on its way to reach new heights Delhi Real Estate in India is getting dearer to investors with property rates getting higher and higher. It is one of the very few Indian cities that are more of a creation of private enterprises and planning rather than government regulation and planning.

Just few years back, Delhi real estate in India did not attract much attention of the investors at national and international level. It was in th recent past say 5 to 7 years back that not only the big real estate buliders but the other Indian companies have also diversified their protfollo and entered into the field of real estate and not targeted  Delhi real estate in India but brought a boom through out Indian as a result of which flls and foreign real estate builders  also made a bee line this field.

Nowadays, no smart homebuyer wants to be a part of any pre-launch real estate India project. And, sky hitting borrowing costs is not allowing the real estate developers to have solace anywhere.

Adding to their woes are higher home loan rates and the prospects of a market correction that have made it difficult for them to woo buyers for their pre launch residential projects. Those who actually want to buy an apartment are waiting for the apartment building to be constructed completely.

Pre-launches are generally looked upon as the builder's scheme to raise capital for the projects as it allows him to take advance bookings for a project after getting the required building permits, but much before beginning construction, providing them virtually free cash.

Indeed, many builders of real estate India are largely dependent on the money from a pre-launch to fund their real estate projects. Some of them may use the cash to complete another project or acquire land as per their business models.

Consequently, a majority of developers prefer launching projects while raising funds through debt and private placements.

Due to declining demand for real estate India, a Delhi based real estate developer has put off the launch of two residential projects and a commercial complex in the National Capital Region.

Realistically, such a phase comes when the developers are hit by cash flow problems after a two year high.  Domestic banks will not lend to them for less than 14-15 per cent.

The real estate India business is estimated to be of over Rs 675 billion and growing at the rate of 30% a year. In the next 10 years, it is estimated to witness a gigantic rise Rs 4725 billion.

With the demand fundamentals displaying unusual strength, a majority of corporates have forayed into the dispute, each jostling hard to make hard cash. The matter that is in high discussions with the Government sees a hope that it may allow mutual funds to pump in Indian real estate market.

The real estate India industry has been largely contributing to the GDP. Its share has shot up from 5.25% in 2002-03 to 7% in 2004-05. The market is large and demand driven. It has been making appreciations in value over the years.

Investing in real estate India mutual funds has become a common concept in the US and Europe. The US Government has always wanted to broaden the space for real estate investments and reach to small investors.

Government is considering giving the pre-IPO placement to FIIs by real estate firms the status of FII investment. At present it is considered as FDI. At present FDI is allowed in only those projects which are spread over 10 hectares of land with a minimum investment of $5 million. Smaller projects are not qualified for FDI and here companies can't raise money through pre-IPO placements.

A senior government official said pre-IPO placements in every sector are considered as FDI. But, as there is no restriction on FDI in those sectors, companies have no problem in selling shares. But in case of the real estate sector, where FDI is allowed, subject to certain conditions, companies are finding it difficult in raising funds at the pre-IPO stage.

RBI has reservation on the issue. It says that if the pre-IPO placement is treated as FDI, the efficacy of the FDI restriction will go. Therefore, it wants to stick to the existing norms.

However, a merchant banker said when an FII is taking stake at a negotiated price with a one-year lock-in, the authority should not have any problem in treating it as FII investment. He said a pre-IPO investor is also like a FII, which buys shares from the market.

If government decides to change the definition of pre-IPO investment as FII investment from FDI, a lot many companies who are planning to go public will be benefited.

Meanwhile, RBI on Monday notified that realty firms can not raise funds through ECBs.

Growing the fastest in the world, real estate India price are well on their way to leave every other country behind, says the data revealed by Knight Frank and Citi Private Bank.

The real estate India, along with those in Russia and China has increased 40 to 50 per cent in the past few years. In comparison to this, London, witness a price growth of 30 per cent in the high end segment.

Residential real estate India prices are estimated to be going through the roof. Mumbai is known to have the most expensive residential properties, where an average per sq ft will cost Rs 50,000. This includes properties like the Chattan Bungalow on Malabar Hill or Sunita Apartments on Napean Sea Road, says Pranay Vakil, chairman of Knight Frank India.

At present, there are more than 300 funds functioning in these countries. They are mainly of two types - Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) and Real Estate Mutual Funds (REMF). These funds generate a major part of their revenue from real estate development management (own and operate), rental or direct investment in physical property. This constitutes 60%. A minimum of 35% of the funds are often goes as a part of investment in properties.

The remaining part can be either in mortgage-backed securities, shares, bonds or debentures of companies trading in different securities such as debt and money market instruments, but not shares of companies that do not deal in property.

REITs are not obliged to pay tax on net income but 90% of the income has to be distributed as dividend. The dividends are exempted from tax. Any company that qualifies as REIT is allowed to deduct dividend paid to its shareholders from the corporate taxable income. Real Estate Funds in the US have reportedly been able to yield high returns of 12.5% annualized on a five year basis.

Soaring residential properties in India & commercial property prices and interest rates on home loans in Metros have brought a decline in demand for new homes here. This has in turn resulted into a sharp drop in demand for re-sale flats.

Years old re-sale residential properties in India like apartments are hardly able to attract attention of prospective buyers. In comparison to the new residential property / plots in Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, and Kolkata, the demand of these flats has slipped more generally.

However, re-sale apartments are likely to pick up after May as the prices will start falling down by 15-20%. The reduction in prices of flats may encourage the buyers again to queue up for them, says industry watchers.

In May 2006, the demand for these flats grew at the rate of 35-40% as buyers were being bullish on buying such flats. Contrary to this, metros have witnessed a hike of 100% in their respective residential properties in India sector, putting off buyers from buying new or old apartments, says TrammellCrow Megharaj.

To save on their profit margin, property developers are not offering any discount on new residential & commercial projects as they cannot see any hike in prices in the near future. Recent increase in interest rates on home loans is what preventing people to opt for re-sale apartments. Although, it is a short term phenomenon but there will be a slowdown in the residential segment in the long term, says Hiranandani Construction.

DLF  Venture Capital Fund, promoted by Dewan Housing, has roped in banks, financial institutions, high net worth individuals and corporate as potential investors. The fund has focused on developing properties rather than invest in real estate. It has put more emphasis on secondary s to add value.

HDFC Real Estate India Fund (HI-REF), the first scheme HDFC Property Fund, will invest in three broad categories of companies-projects: those in the planning stage, those in the development stage and those, which are complete. However HDFC is not keen on investing in shopping malls because it expects some shake-out in that space in the coming months.

On the contrary, Kshitij Venture Capital Fund, a group venture of Pantaloon Retail India Ltd.  one of the well known real estate India company, will be deploying funds exclusively in developing malls in tier II and III cities, primarily in western and southern India. The company is also launching a mall management service that will manage the upcoming plethora of malls as well as offer mall management services to other mall owners. 

Real estate India- Interest rates on housing loans have been rising for over a year and its effecting always to real estate India market.  Now they are slowly inching towards early 2002 levels. The interest rate on housing loans move more less in tandem with the policy rates announced by the central bank. Borrowing rates on home loan started falling initially since 2002, when the central bank started signaling lower rates.  In the last two-and -a-half years, with the level of inflation rising and the growing concern over asset price bubble, the central bank has been signaling higher rates.  Accordingly, the interest rates on home loans have also moved up.  Given the trend in inflation, the rates could still rise further.                                                                          

In 2006 home loans was approx 9.50% and according to source it is going to be approx 14% at the end of 2007. The rate of home loans is increasing due to investor showing big interest in real estate India sector. It is clear indication towards the future growth of real estate India market.
