    Underlying demand will continue to prevail

    India Quarter 4, 2011

    INDIA MARKET OVERVIEW

    INDIA ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

    Trends & Updates

    Indias economic growth has slowed down

    considerably. Sectors such as banking & finance,

    insurance & business services, trade, hospitality,

    transport,communication and electricity, gas & water

    supply recorded the best performances and primarily

    powered the countrys GDP growth to 6.9% during the

    period July-September 2011. High rates of inflation

    continues to prevail though some moderation was

    observed in food inflation in November 2011. Rupee

    continued to remain under stress since August 2011

    weakening to an all-time low at more than INR 52

    against the US dollar in December 2011. A deceleration

    in investment flows were observed with FDI inflows

    registering major decline in wake of the uncertainty in

    the global macroeconomic situation and tightening of

    liquidity in most countries.

    Even in the backdrop of uncertainities, the

    performance of the various real estate sectors in the

    country has been consistent with commercial office

    space sector showing great degree of resilience with

    substantially high absorption levels during the year in

    review. Retail sector too, inspite of high inflationary

    conditions in the economy, witnessed quite a few major

    retailers, both national and international, expanding

    their operations. Mall supply which remained subdued

    during 2010 saw major improvement with most cities

    witnessing major projects becoming operational.

    In the residential sector, though the developers

    initiated new project launches, buyers demonstrated

    catiousness in purchase decisions, thereby restraining

    major price escalations in the segment.

    According to Central Statistical Organization

    estimates, during the period July-September 2011,

    Indias Gross Domestic Product (GDP) at factor cost

    (at 2004-05 prices) recorded a growth of 6.9%. This

    was a significant decline compared to 8.4% growth

    recorded during the same period in the previous year.

    Finance, insurance & business services, trade, hotels,

    transport, communication sector and electricity, gas

    & water supply were the primary growth drivers.

    Performance of agriculture and construction as well

    as the manufacturing sectors continues to remain low.

    Moreover, high rates of inflation have also resulted in

    lowering the growth rate.

    In Mid Quarter Monetary Policy Review, December

    2011, Reserve Bank of India (RBI) maintained the repo

    and reverse repo rates at 8.5% and 7.5% respectively.

    This was primarily on account of the decelerating

    domestic growth rates and to cushion the economy

    from persistent financial uncertainties and worsening

    global economic outlook.

    The trend of overall depreciation in the rupee

    against the US dollar which was observed in August-

    September 2011 persisted during October-December

    2011. In spite of the RBIs intervention by bringing

    about interest rate revision, the rupee has been under

    stress. The Indian rupee weakened to an all-time low

    against the US dollar at more than 52 in December 2011.

    High inflationary conditions in the economy coupled

    with high global commodity prices and uncertainties

    have also been crucial determinants. However, as per

    industry analysts, the rupee depreciation is expected

    to be positive for the country as it will boost exports in

    view of the slowing economy.

    The third quarter of 2011-2012 witnessed investors

    continuing with a cautious approach in view of the

    global uncertainties and the prevailing macroeconomic

    instability. The Foreign Direct Investments (FDI)

    inflow in the housing and real estate sector witnessed

    significant decline and was recorded at approximately

    INR 87 crores during the first month of the third

    quarter of 2011-2012. The decline was by about 74%

    compared to the same time period in 2010-2011. The

    total inflow as such stood at INR 2,130 crores for the

    period April-October 2011.

    The BSE Realty Index continued with its subdued

    trend during the week ended 30th December 2011

    closing at 1375.65 points. The index which closed

    at 2870.59 points in January 3rd 2011 registered a

    decline by about 52% by the end of the year 2011. The

    index continued to touch 2000 points till the last week

    of July 2011 recording minor variations in the course.

    However, by the end of August 2011, the uncertainties

    in the global markets accentuated anxiety levels;

    thereby the index remained quite conservative.

    Though the property prices appreciated in early

    2011 and developers initiated launch of new projects,

    the cautious demand levels resulted in lowering the

    developers profit margins and in some cases, even

    pressuring them.

    Residential Overview

    During the period October-December 2011, the

    capital values of the residential properties across

    the countrys major metros remained stabilized.

    Marginal appreciation was observed only in the

    city of Chennai during the quarter in review. Most

    of the appreciation was recorded in the first two

    quarters of 2011; and by July 2011 the countrys

    major metros witnessed stabilization in the values.

    This was to a great extent accentuated by high

    borrowing rates creating pressure on affordability.

    Moreover, cautious approach of buyers with regard

    to purchases/investments also resulted in the prices

    to remain at the same level.

    The southern region dominated new residential

    unit launches, accounting for approximately 59%

    of the total launches during the period October-

    December 2011. Most of the new unit launches during

    the period under review were recorded in the mid

    segment category. In Chennai, Hyderabad and Pune,

    most of the launches were in the mid-end category

    while NCR, Bangalore and Mumbai witnessed a

    balanced mix of both high and mid-end segment

    launches.

    On account of the uncertainty prevailing in the

    market with high inflation projections for 2012, an

    immediate reversal in the interest rate is unlikely. This

    may lead to continuation of the borrowing rates on the

    higher side, which may consequently create pressure

    on the affordability factor. Moreover, anticipation in

    the market prevails of a price decline in the short to

    medium term. Though the demand level is likely to

    remain cautious, the underlying demand for housing

    units and unavailability of suitable housing options

    will continue to prevail.

    During the year 2011, the Indian real estate

    market was characterized by cautious sentiments.

    The housing market registered mixed trends during

    the year. While demand in the property market

    strengthened in the first half of the year, towards the

    second half of 2011, the housing market was governed

    by subdued market sentiments. The dampened

    sentiments in the market could be attributed to the

    uncertainty in economic conditions, inflationary

    pressures, rising home loan rates, and high price

    points across majority of residential markets.

    According to Cushman & Wakefield Research,

    office space absorption in 2011 has increased by 8%

    over the previous year. The total absorption during

    the year was recorded at 35.51 msf. The supply on

    the other hand, registered a decline of almost 20%

    helping reduce the demand-supply gap marginally.

    Overall office space vacancy in India has remained

    high at 18%. Among the major cities, Bangalore

    registered the highest absorption of 11.53 msf.

    along with additional pre commitments of 5 msf. for

    next year. Chennai and NCR have also witnessed a

    considerable growth in the absorption of 32% and

    15% respectively over the previous year. Rentals

    across most micro markets remained stable for the

    most part during 2011 barring Mumbai CBD NarimanPoint (8-9% drop) and peripheral ORR micro market

    (11% increase) in Bangalore.

    In the retail sector, the country awaited major

    policy measures regarding approving FDI in

    multibrand retail, allowing 100% FDI in single brand

    retail along with the implementation of Goods andServices Tax (GST). During the first half of 2011, end

    consumer demand persisted and retailers seemed

    Owing to the prevailing uncertainties, the capital

    values across markets registered slower appreciation

    in comparison to the growth recorded in 2010.

    Among the major cities, NCR, Bangalore, Chennai

    and Kolkata have registered higher escalation in

    property rates. Several residential precincts in these

    cities registered substantial appreciation in the range

    of 21-31% in property prices. Other markets such

    as Hyderabad, Mumbai and Pune witnessed slower

    growth in capital values. The appreciation in these

    markets was registered in the range of 2-13% during

    the year. During the year, select markets in Mumbai

    and Hyderabad also witnessed price corrections on

    account of moderation in demand. Mid-end markets

    across major cities, driven by inherent demand, have

    fared better in comparison to the high-end markets.

    Several mid-end markets have clocked growth of

    more than 25% in 2011.

    The leasing market in the residential sector

    remained buoyant during 2011. Markets in proximity

    to the office districts and with better connectivity

    witnessed substantial demand during the year.

    Postponement of purchasing decisions by end users

    further propelled the demand for rental properties

    across most markets, especially during the second

    half of 2011. Cities such as Bangalore and Chennai

    witnessed maximum appreciation in rental values

    on account of increased demand. Select markets in

    these cities recorded rental escalations in the range

    of 45-55%. While majority of markets across India

    registered healthy demand, Mumbai can be singled

    out as the only market to register correction in rental

    values, primarily on account of prevailing high price

    points and increased availabilities.

    confident of expansion. NCR, Bangalore, Pune,

    Mumbai and Chennai witnessed healthy mall supply

    catering to this demand. Most of the mall supply was

    seen to come up in peripheral locations. However,

    both Hyderabad and Kolkata did not see any fresh

    mall supply during 2011. In cities like Chennai, NCR,

    Hyderabad and Kolkata rental values remained

    stable mostly across malls during the second half of

    the year in view of lack of supply. Simultaneously, a

    lack of availability of mall space pushed retailers to

    opt for main streets across the major cities. Hence,

    main streets continued to register increased enquires

    from national and international retailers. Rentals in

    main streets in CBD in most major cities witnessed

    significant y-o-y appreciation.

    The year also witnessed several land mark

    initiatives by the government for the real estate

    sector. The remarkable announcements were the

    introduction of the Land Acquisition Reforms &

    Rehabilitation Bill, The Real Estate Regulatory Bill,

    100% allowance of FDI in single brand retail and the

    new development norms in some States. Although

    many of the bills are yet to be enacted and approved

    by the parliament, it is still worthy to note that these

    are the first steps in the right direction aimed to

    institutionalize the sector.

    Going Ahead

    Indian housing market is expected to remain

    cautious on account of uncertain global economic

    conditions. The trends exhibited by major cities across

    India are likely to prevail over the next few quarters.

    Bangalore, Pune and Mumbai are expected to witness

    several residential launches in the next few quarters.

    Limited availability of ready properties is likely to put

    positive pressure on several premium markets across

    major cities. Capital values across majority of locations

    are expected to remain stable or register moderate

    appreciation. However the rental markets across

    several cities are likely to remain active resulting in

    rental escalations.

    Commercial office space market in 2012 is expected

    to be driven by steady demand. Space uptake by firms

    in the IT/ITES and BFSI space are likely to remain as

    the primary demand drivers. While majority of the

    office districts are expected to register stable rentals,

    CBD markets in cities like Pune, Kolkata and Chennai

    along with suburban markets in locations like NCR and

    Hyderabad are expected to register slight appreciation

    in the short term. This may be attributed to the limited

    availability of grade A space in these locations. On

    account of supply that is anticipated in major cities,

    the vacancy levels are expected to remain stable or

    register mild fluctuations in cities like NCR, Pune and

    Chennai. Contrary to other markets, Bangalore and

    Hyderabad are expected to register a dip in vacancy

    rate due to the growing demand.

    Indian retail market is likely to continue on the

    growth trajectory in 2012. Increased retailer interest

    both by international and domestic retailers isexpected to persist in the market, further boosted

    by the policy approval for 100% FDI allowance in

    single brand retail and industrys expectations of at

    least an allowance of 51% FDI in multibrand retail.

    Approximately 9.9 msf of mall supply is anticipated

    in the year 2012 across the major cities of which the

    NCR, Mumbai and Bangalore are likely to register 2.2

    msf of mall supply in the first half of the year. Majority

    of the retail markets are expected to see stability in

    terms of mall rentals with the anticipated increase in

    availability of mall space. On the other hand, prime

    main street markets across the major cities are likely

    to witness escalation in rentals due to the demand

    driven by increased retailer interest and scarcity of

    space.

    Ahmedabad witnessed a moderate spate of

    transaction activity in the fourth quarter of 2011 in

    the residential segment. Capital values have remained

    stable across all micro markets so as to sustain

    demand. More sales are witnessed in readily available

    properties as it is preferred by end users due to

    which some projects nearing completion have shown

    appreciation in capital values.

    Construction activity was witnessed in RingRoad and Thaltej catering to the mid-segment.

    Some of these projects include Shreekunj High end

    Apartments (Nidhi Group) and Sapphire (Shree

    Shivam Corporation) which are likely to be available

    for possession by mid 2012.

    The Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority

    (AUDA) has announced the development of a 60m

    wide, 76 km long city level Ring Road estimated at

    a cost of Rs.335 crores to add to the 2 ring roads

    already operational. The ring road will help in better

    connectivity to Sanand and will divert the regional

    traffic that enters city roads, hence reducing

    congestion.

    New Residential Launches

    Ahmedabad witnessed just 2 significant launches

    in the fourth quarter of 2011. Newer residential

    developments are launched along the Gandhinagar-

    Ahmedabad Road and Satellite road. The city has

    witnessed restrained new projects in this quarter due

    to the liquidity crisis faced by developers and high

    interest rates. However, new projects are expected

    to launch in the coming quarter.

    Under construction Residential Property Update

    Retail

    Office

    Construction activity has witnessed a slowdown

    in the last quarter. Residential projects under

    construction are mainly concentrated in locations

    such as Ring Road, S.G. Highway and Bopal.

    Ahmedabad witnessed fresh mall supply of around

    7 lakh sft in the form of Alpha One at tVastrapur.

    The mall includes anchor stores like HyperCity and

    Shoppers Stop with retailers such as Nike, Tommy

    Hilfiger, Pepe Jeans and Samsonite. Modest demand

    and relatively high vacancy rates have kept rental

    values unchanged from the last quarter.

    Ahmedabad witnessed a total commercial supply

    of around more than 4.3 lakh sft for the year and 1.3

    lakh sft for the quarter. A 14% year on year drop in

    supply compared to 2010. The city saw absorption

    of just over 1 lakh sft for the fourth quarter of 2011.

    The absorption for 2011 stood at 4.2 lakh sft with S.G

    Highway and Satellite Road contributing 61% of total

    absorption.

    Prices in the residential markets are expected

    to move upwards in the coming months. Most new

    projects are expected in the mid-end range segment.

    Commercial office space rentals in the CBD area may

    witness an increase due to limited grade A supply.

    However, rentals are expected to remain stable

    across other micro markets due to moderate demand

    and current vacancy levels.

    Ahmedabad is not expected to witness any new

    mall supply during the first quarter of 2012. Rentalvalues across malls and main streets are expected to

    remain stable so as to sustain demand.

    Bangalore

    Market Overview

    A cautious approach by both the end-users as well

    as the investors continued to prevail in Bangalores

    residential market on account of high price points in

    most markets and high interest rates. Capital values

    mostly remained stable during the fourth quarter of

    2011.

    New project launches continued during the quarter

    though the market had substantial availability, as

    significant numbers of projects were launched duringthe year, thereby offering buyers with a wide range of

    options to choose from.

    With the infrastructure development works like the

    flyover constructions, metro rail as well as elevated

    highways commencing in full swing across the city, the

    immediate micro markets as well as adjacent ones are

    witnessing increased prominence.

    Bangalore office market continued with its

    buoyant trend registering high demand levels. Quite

    a few significant big ticket deals were closed during

    the quarter. However, demand for spaces in the range

    of 3,000-20,000 square feet was dominant and

    comprised of almost 60% of the number of deals

    closed during the quarter. Vibrancy persisted in the

    citys retail market with two major malls becoming

    operational during the quarter. Continued interest

    was observed from retailers across segments and

    quite a few new lease deals were also closed during

    the quarter across the upcoming malls.

    Trends & Updates

    Ready Residential Property Update

    Demand to a great extent remained subdued for

    ready/second generation properties on account of

    the high price points quoted coupled with the high

    interest rates for mortgages. An anticipation of

    a decline in prices prevailed. Moreover, investors

    were also apprehensive as the rentals fetched

    were comparatively on the lower side relative to

    the capital investments.

    Buyers had a wide range of options to choose in

    new developments/ launches, wherein they were

    able to secure discounts, thereby tilting the scale

    in favour of developer stock. As a result, investors

    primarily in high-end properties faced difficulties

    in exiting their investments as it was unfeasible

    for lowering their quotes considering their initial

    capital investments.

    Second generation properties maintained their

    capital values in view of substantial availability

    in new properties or project launches. However,

    no incident of distress sales or reduction in the

    prices was observed across the second generation

    properties.

    Bangalore continued to witness some major new

    launches from the prominent developers. The new

    launches recorded during the quarter also included

    formal launches of projects which were pre-launchedin the earlier quarters. New project launches were

    across upper, mid as well as lower segment brackets

    with a mix of apartment and villa developments.

    Moreover, the southern peripheries of the city were

    observed to account for most of the new launches

    during the quarter. Marketing of pre-launched

    projects was also observed with developers offeringcustomized discounts and value added services to the

    buyers for quick uptakes in their projects. * Estimated

    and as per market information

    Significant numbers of projects were launched

    during the year and the same commenced

    construction leading to substantial availability in the

    market. This provided the buyers with a wide range of

    options to choose across different price bands, type of

    developments and locations among others. During the

    quarter in review, consistent work progression was

    recorded in the under construction projects.

    In view of substantial availability in new properties,

    no significant appreciation in the capital values of

    these projects was observed barring a few exceptions.

    Moreover, developers continued to offer customized

    discounts and value added services without bringing

    about any direct reduction in the capital values.

    of 2011. The vacancy levels in the city registered a

    decline to approx. 12% as on 4Q 2011 from 16% (4Q

    2010) on account of good absorption levels coupled

    with constricted infusion of supply.

    Demand is likely to remain cautious in the initial

    months of 2012 with buyers adopting a wait and

    watch policy in view of the high price points as well

    as the high borrowing rates. Further capital value

    escalations are unlikely and prices are expected to

    remain stable in the forthcoming quarters.

    New project launches are likely to continue

    with most developers initiating pre-launch of their

    projects at discounted prices to gauge the tempo

    of the market and consumer attitude to pricing and

    product offering. Locations in the North and South

    peripheries of the city are likely to see greater share

    in the project launches. High land, construction and

    other associated costs may compel the developers

    to launch projects at higher price points. Developers,

    however, are expected to continue offering

    customized discounts and better bargains to ensure

    quick uptakes in their projects.

    Approximately 11msf of new supply is expected in

    the commercial office space segment in 2012. During

    the initial months of 2012, the absorption levels will

    remain on the higher side. Marginal scarcity of space

    options, as a result, is likely to prevail in early 2012.

    Vacancy rates too may come down marginally or

    remain stable.

    Three new mall developments are likely to become

    operational by the first half of 2012. On account of

    the already high rentals commanded, prime rents are

    likely to continue at the same level. Retailer interest

    too is expected to remain persistent.

    Demand for residential properties in Chennai

    continued to remain healthy during the last quarter

    of 2011. Developers continued to launch projects in

    the suburban and peripheral locations in order to

    capitalize on the demand in these locations.

    The leasing activity remained buoyant during the

    fourth quarter of 2011. Locations such as Poes Garden,

    Kilpauk and Adyar noticed substantial appreciation in

    the high-end segment. In the mid-end segment, Adyar,

    Anna Nagar and Nungambakkam recorded significant

    rental appreciation during the quarter.

    Premium residential markets such as Boat Club and

    by the inherent demand. Demand for ready property

    remained significant during the quarter. High-end

    markets such as R.A. Puram, Adyar and Kilpauk also

    saw revision in prices, driven primarily by the resale

    activity.

    The suburban markets saw an improved demand

    for ready property due to the uncertainty over

    completion of several under construction projects.

    With no significant demand, majority of the mid-end

    New launches trend during the last quarter of 2011

    remained subdued. The uncertainty prevailing over

    market conditions has resulted in fewer launches

    compared to the previous quarters. Majority of

    the launches were registered in the suburban and

    peripheral locations, though concentrated more in the

    southern residential pockets of Chennai. Substantial

    number of launches was registered in Rajiv Gandhi

    Salai and GST Road. Prominent developers such as

    Vijay Shanthi Builders and Landmark Construction

    were noticed to unveil new projects during the quarter.

    Majority of the projects that were rolled out catered to

    The cautious demand in the market is expected

    to result in stable capital values across most

    residential markets. Despite anticipating a drop

    in property registrations, the developers might

    restrict decreasing the capital values in view of

    rising construction costs. The rental values are

    likely to continue appreciating during the next few

    quarters on account of buoyant demand.

    In the commercial office space markets, rentals

    are expected to remain stable. However, grade A

    buildings in CBD locations might register a slight

    appreciation due to the insufficient supply in this

    market. Persistent demand for retail space in

    the main streets is likely further exert a positive

    pressure on the rental values during 2012. Mall

    supply of approximately 850,000 sf is expected to

    be infused in the first quarter of 2012 with rentals

    likely to remain stable over the next few months.

    Outlook

    Retail market in Chennai was characterized by

    dearth of prime retail space. Scarcity of space in main

    streets resulted in significant rental appreciation in

    majority of the retail precincts in Chennai. KhaderNawaz Khan Road and Anna Nagar 2nd Avenue

    registered the maximum appreciation in the range of

    13-16% during the quarter.

    In malls, absorption in several centrally located

    malls resulted in an overall lower vacancy of 6.6%

    during the quarter. Despite much anticipation, there

    was no mall supply recorded during the quarter. Themall rentals exhibited a stable trend during this time

    period.

    Retail

    During the fourth quarter of 2011, Chennai

    witnessed significant office space absorption of

    approximately 1.88 msf. with the uptake of office

    space in SEZs gaining momentum. Contrary to thebuoyant absorption registered during the quarter,

    influx of supply remained sluggish. The market

    registered a supply of just 0.1 msf. Limited supply and

    buoyant demand resulted in moderation of vacancy

    levels (16.3% for fourth quarter 2011) in the fourth

    quarter of 2011. Despite the healthy demand scenario,rental values during the last quarter remained stable

    on account of cautious market sentiments.

    Market Overview

    The uncertainty over the land reservation

    regulation has continued for the fourth quarter

    in a row. With no clarity on provision of LIG and

    EWS housing, developers have further delayed

    announcing new projects. Unlike the last 6 months,

    Hyderabad residential market has witnessed

    some launches this quarter in the form of project

    extensions and reBHKanding / relaunching of old

    projects.Subdued political turmoil, stability in prices and

    various promitional offers towards the end of the

    year have resulted in a higher number of enquiries,

    thereby recording a marginal rise in sales in key

    residential localities such as Miyapur, Gachibowli,

    Madhapur and Kukatpally. Projects in prime

    residential localities with locational advantages

    and that are in the final stages of completion have

    witnessed a growth in number of enquiries.

    The commercial office space market in

    Hyderabad has regained momentum towards the

    end of 2011.Demand for office space was recorded

    at over 1.6msf, which is nearly 60% higher than Q3.

    In the retail market, overall demand has remained

    on the lowerside as comapred to the previous

    quarters. Upcoming malls such as Manjeera Trinity

    and Manjeera Majestic have witnessed some pre-

    commitments during this quarter.

    Trends & Updates

    Ready Residential Update

    Property prices have recorded mixed trends

    across the city during this quarter. High-end projects

    recorded marginal appreciation in most micro markets

    including Madhapur and Gachibolwi. Overall market

    conditions, especially in the mid-end segment, looked

    favourable as compared to the last two quarters, thus

    encouraging developers to evaluate their options in

    terms of sales and promitional activities .

    Projects in the medium segment in Miyapur and its

    surroundings have recorded a 6-8% growth in capital

    values. Prices have gone up by 8-12% in few projects

    that are close to the IT and Financial districts and are

    ready for immediate possession.

    Seven projects totalling approximately 1,700 units

    were launched across the high-end and mid-end

    segments in the upcoming locations of Miyapur, Nizampet

    and Gachibowli. Majority of the projects launched during

    this quarter were either approved prior to the land

    reservation clause or are extensions of ongoing projects.

    Mid-end housing projects continue to concentrate

    on Miyapur, Nizampet and the immediate surroundings

    due to their proximity to the IT and financial districts and

    presence of large pool of potential buyers.

    Property prices across the city have mostly

    remained stable during Q4. Madhapur and Gachibowli

    witnessed a minor appreciation especially in the

    projects that are close to completion. Some projects

    with successful completion of Phase I have witnessed

    8-10% increase in property prices for the second

    phase.

    Moderately stable prices and steady political

    environment along with several promotional offers

    by the developers have attracted the buyers during

    this quarter. The number of enquires have gone up

    this quarter as several potential buyers evaluated

    properties, mainly in key residential catchments.

    Projects such as Empress Towers, Rainbow Vistas,

    Aparna Hill Park Avenues, Vertex Prime, PBEL City

    and Green Grace have witnessed a growing number

    of enquiries considering successful completion of

    the earlier projects by the developers and locational

    advantages.

    Under construction Residential Property Update

    The market recorded approximately 1.25 msf ofoffice space absorption during the fourth quarter.

    Demand for SEZ space was clearly evident through

    pre-commitments of over 4 lakh sft, especially

    in the suburban micro markets, which include

    Madhapur and Gachibowli.

    Despite healthy absorption and a growth inenquiries, office rentals have remained stable due to

    continued infusion of second generation space and

    availability of space options across all micro markets.

    Large format stores, which are rapidly expandinginto tier-II cities, have continued negotiations in

    suburban locations such as Attapur, Mehdipatnam, LB

    Nagar and Chandanagar during this quarter. Retailers

    who adopted a wait and watch approach during the

    third quarter have started actively exploring space

    options towards the end of 2011 due to stability in thepolitical environment. Continued scarcity of space in

    operational malls has lead to a growth in enquires in

    upcoming malls such as Manjeera Trinity and Manjeera

    Majestic in Kukatpally.

    The political factors which influenced the cityduring the second half seems to have stabilized giving

    a positive outlook for 2012. The residential market is

    likely to witness a moderate growth in during 2012.

    Several new project launches are likely if the current

    regulation on land reservation gets resolved. Property

    prices across the city are likely to remain stable thru

    first half of 2012. The overall demand is likely to grow

    due to reasonably stable prices and continued supply.

    Majority of the upcoming SEZ supply in 2012 isalready pre-committed. The shortage of grade A

    supply is likely to continue in the commercial office

    space market during 2012. In the retail market, some

    large format stores may get operational in the suburbs

    by the end of 2012. As retailers are becoming more

    flexible in terms of suitability of space, demand for

    small format stores is likely to remain healthy in prime

    retail locations such as Banjara Hills and Jubilee Hills

    over the next two quarters.

    Kolkata

    Market Overview

    Trends & Updates

    Ready Residential Property Update

    During the fourth quarter of 2011, Kolkatas

    residential market witnessed reduced transaction

    activities across the micro markets. Buyers seemed

    to defer buying decisions due to rising interest

    rates and high inflation. Clarity over the States

    Land Acquisition policy was not provided, which

    influenced developers and financial investors to

    take a wait and watch approach.

    Along with Rajarhat, which remains the hub ofreal estate activities in the city, peripheral locations

    like Garia and Barasat also assumed increased

    importance.

    Keeping with the global market sentiments

    and the countrys reduced growth rate, the office

    markets in Kolkata witnessed slightly moderate

    absorption. Total absorption was recorded at around

    just over 2 lakh sft. in the fourth quarter, dropping

    by more than 50% in comparison to last quarter.

    Retail markets in Kolkata exhibited less vibrancy in

    terms of transactions as lack of supply remained a

    major concern for retailers; retail establishments in

    CBD continued to witness high occupancy.

    High-end properties across the city witnessed

    a 6 - 8% quarterly appreciation in view of lack of

    supply. Capital values remained stable compared

    to last quarter. However, they witnessed more than

    20% y-o-y appreciation in the high-end segment

    and more than 25% y-o-y appreciation in the mid-

    end segment.

    Under construction projects by reputed developers

    in Rajarhat New Town have witnessed at least 5%

    appreciation over the last quarter. However quite a

    few large format projects by reputed developers in

    New Town Rajarhat area have seen slow construction

    work primarily due to the lack of infrastructure facility.

    During the fourth quarter, Kolkatas office market

    exhibited a balanced trend of supply and absorption.

    Total absorption during this quarter was recorded

    at almost 0.21 msf sft, while total supply during the

    quarter was nearly 0.24m sf. Although the absorption

    was less compared to last quarter, the quarter reported

    the highest fresh absorption of the year. Interestingly,

    the total demand during this quarter was generated by

    regional corporate companies which mainly included

    BFSI and engineering companies.

    Kolkatas retail market witnessed a sluggish trend

    during the last quarter of the year. In spite of increased

    enquiries from retailers, the transactions were reduced

    as availability of space in prime locations was a major

    concern. In view of lack of supply in malls coupled with

    very low vacancy in existing malls, retailers were then

    inquiring for main street locations, which pushed the

    main street rentals significantly upward in the CBD.

    Under construction Residential Property Update

    Office

    Retail

    The residential market in Kolkata is expected

    to see a vibrant scenario in 2012 in terms of new

    launches and transactions. However, if inflation

    rises further, sales in mid-end segment may be

    hampered. Growth of high-end segment is likely

    to be stable. Peripheral locations like Barasat in

    North and Garia in South will continue to continue

    to witness increased importance due to more

    number of affordable project options and improved

    infrastructure facility.

    Uncertainties over West Bengal Governments

    Land Acquisition policy may dampen the mindset

    of developers and financial investors. Hence

    supply scenario may be restricted. Retail markets

    will continue to see a low supply situation.

    Hence retailers will opt for main streets in CBD

    and peripheral locations with good catchment.

    Therefore main street rentals will continue to

    appreciate in the short term.

    Mumbai

    Market Overview

    The residential market in Mumbai has witnessed

    a slowdown during the last quarter. This is primarily

    due to a slower pace in construction activity by

    builders due to a liquidity crunch.

    Residential capital values have remained stable

    for most micro markets in Mumbai as developers

    have refrained from price correction despite the

    high input costs and high cost of funding. End users

    have shown more interest for projects nearingcompletion in the mid range segment resulting in

    appreciation of capital values in some projects in

    select micro markets.

    During the quarter, office space supply was

    registered at 2.6 msf, whereas less than a million

    square feet was absorbed during the same period.

    The CBD witnessed an 8.3% drop due to low

    demand, whilst all the other micro markets showed

    stability in rentals. With the micro markets of Kurla

    and Malad contributing majorly, the year witnessed

    a healthy supply of 2.2 msf of mall space. Main street

    rentals witnessed appreciation of about 4-12% over

    the last quarter due to limited availabilities and high

    demand. Large infrastructure projects such as the

    Mumbai metro and monorail projects are currently

    facing delays of around 6 months, though further

    delays may still be expected.

    Trends & Updates

    Ready Residential Property Update

    Capital values at prime residential locations are

    expected to reduce so as to maintain demand for

    existing projects. However, high-end residential

    capital values in Central Mumbai and mid range

    capital values in South Central have witnessed a

    Construction activity has witnessed a slowdown

    in Mumbai during the last quarter with developer

    delaying delivery of projects due to liquidity concerns

    and a slowdown in demand from both end users and

    investors.

    Under construction projects have maintained

    price points quoted in the previous quarter while

    projects nearing completion have witnessed a minor

    appreciation. Also, developers are offering various

    incentives and favourable payment schedules to

    increase demand.

    Market City Kurla admeasuring 1 msf became

    operational during the fourth quarter of 2011. The

    year has witnessed a healthy supply of 2.2 msf

    of mall space, majority of which was in the micro

    markets of Kurla and Malad. Main street rentals

    in Colaba Causeway, Kemps Corner and Vashi

    witnessed appreciation of about 8%, 12% and 4%

    respectively over the last quarter due to limited

    availabilities and high demand.

    With few deals materializing, Mumbai has

    witnessed a moderate spate in commercial office

    space transactional activity in the fourth quarter

    of 2011. During the quarter, office space supply wasregistered at 2.6 msf; where as the total demand

    was estimated to be 0.9 msf.

    For the whole year, Mumbai witnessed a

    commercial supply of 10.4 msf, mainly concentrated

    in the western suburbs of Andheri, Goregaon and

    Malad which contributed close to 48% of the total

    supply.

    Whilst all the secondary and peripheral micro

    markets showed stability in the commercial

    rentals, the CBD witnessed an 8.3% drop due to

    low demand.

    Retail

    Office

    A slowdown in construction activity is further

    expected, which would result in restrained

    residential supply in the coming months. End users

    are adopting a wait and watch policy for either

    home loan rates or capital values to reduce in the

    coming quarters.

    An upcoming commercial office space supply

    of 2.3 msf in the next quarter coupled with current

    vacancy levels would keep rentals stable. Mall rentals

    in locations like Malad, Lower Parel and Linking Road

    may witness an upward pressure on account of low

    vacancy levels. However, mall rentals in Thane are

    expected to remain stable as approximately 1 msf of

    mall supply is expected by the second quarter of 2012.

    Overall, the end user sentiment in the NCR

    seems weak with delayed buying decisions in the

    wake of inflationary conditions, rising home loan

    rates, and high price points. Interestingly, a few

    developers in Gurgaon claimed that recent project

    launches in Gurgaon witnessed an upward price

    revision owing to good response from end users

    and investors alike. The values of ready property

    remained in a similar range as the last quarterhighlighting cautiousness in the market.

    The office segment saw heightened real estate

    activity with increase in both supply and absorption

    compared to the last year. The supply increased

    significantly by 73% and demand was noted to be

    14.8% higher than the previous year, driven by IT/

    ITeS, insurance, consulting and engineering firms.

    In contrast, the retail segment saw reduced mall

    supply by 36% compared to last year as few mallswere planned in anticipation of a slow revival.

    Farm houses in Delhi that were built before

    February 2007, and which fall in the green belt are

    likely to get regularized as per the proposed policy

    by Delhi Development Authority (DDA). The policy

    will apply to not only those farmhouses that have

    construction beyond the permissible limit, but also

    those that had been built without proper sanctions.

    Both will be regularized under the proposed policy

    after certain penalties.

    To ease traffic congestion and provide an

    alternate mode of transport, the Delhi State

    Industrial and Infrastructure Development

    Corporation (DSIIDC) has suggested a 10.4-km

    monorail corridor - from Shastri Park to Trilokpuri

    in East Delhi. The connectivity from Noida to South

    Delhi is also likely to improve with the construction

    of the metro rail, which is expected to begin in

    January 2012 and will connect areas such as

    Kalkaji, Malviya Nagar, Green Park and Vasant Kunj

    directly. This enhanced connectivity is expected to

    strengthen price of select locations in Noida.

    Trends & Updates

    Ready Residential Property Update

    NCR residential market during 2011 exhibited signs

    of balanced growth. The capital values registered

    steady growth during the first half of 2011. However,

    the growth during the second half of 2011 was

    restricted to select Delhi locations with limited supply.

    The trends displayed in the leasing markets inNCR during the year included the high-end markets

    registering marginal growth (3-5%) and mid-end

    markets witnessing significant growth (11-40%).

    Values across suburban locations during the

    last two quarters were noticed to stabilize due to

    moderation in demand. However, over the quarter the

    rental and capital values have remained stable overacross the region highlighting stability in the markets.

    Under construction Residential Property Update

    The city witnessed significant additions of

    approximately 6.4 million square feet (msf) to

    the office stock in 2011, of which 68% consist of

    IT developments in the suburban location. The

    last quarter has seen highest completions of

    approximately 2.2 msf, majority (55%) of which

    were concentrated in the suburban location

    of Gurgaon. IT/ITeS, insurance, consulting and

    engineering firms were the main drivers for

    commercial office space leasing for the year

    resulting in 6.23 msf being occupied. The last

    quarter accounted for a third of the leasing

    activity, majority of which was noted in Gurgaon.

    Owing to buoyant demand, office rents across the

    markets appreciated in the range of 5-12% over

    the year with suburban locations noticing high

    growth compared to the CBD/Off CBD locations.

    However, rental values remained stable over the

    during the last two quarters indicating stability

    in most of the markets across city. However, in

    the year two quarters, strengthening demand

    amidst stable economic conditions had resulted

    in the expansion and entry of both domestic and

    Pune

    Market Overview

    Pune saw moderate volumes of residential activities

    resulting in stable rental and capital values across most

    micro markets. Although the city has witnessed an

    increase in enquiries for residential projects, it has not

    resulted in an increase in capital values in fourth quarter

    of 2011. The sub-urban and peripheral locations of

    Baner, Balewadi and Hinjewadi witnessed the maximum

    construction activities in fourth quarter of 2011.

    In 2011, Pune witnessed an infusion of approximately

    4.2 million square feet (msf) of commercial office space,

    72% catering to SEZ space, 18% catering to IT space and

    10% catering to non IT space. The city saw absorption of

    approximately 2.9 msf of commercial space, 69% being

    absorbed by IT/ITeS sector and 31% absorbed by non IT

    sector in 2011. During the year, commercial office space

    rental trend was almost stable in most micro markets

    across the city. However, owing to lack of new quality

    commercial space, as well as their premium location,

    the micro markets of SB Road and Wakdewadi saw an

    appreciation of approximately 9% in commercial rentals

    in 2011.

    Pune saw an inflow of 3.3 msf of retail space, catering

    towards the suburban and peripheral locations of the

    city in 2011. The city saw an improvement in transaction

    activities, which was not restricted to operational malls

    and high streets, but also included pre-commitments in

    under construction malls. Restrained availability of space

    in high streets has given an opportunity to landlords to

    command a high premium. With international brands

    continuing with their preference for established high

    streets, the micro markets of JM Road, FC Road and

    Aundh witnessed an appreciation in rentals.

    With the launch of Kumar Pacific Mall and

    Abhiruchi Mall, the city saw an inflow of 0.7 msf of

    retail space in the fourth quarter of 2011. The city

    saw an improvement in transaction activities acrossthe operational malls and established main streets.

    Upcoming retail developments likely to be completed

    in the near future had been successfully drawing

    interest from retailers as evident from the quantum of

    pre commitments in them.

    Owing to an impending liquidity crisis coupled with

    an already existing inventory, the fourth quarter of

    2011 saw a moderate infusion of supply in commercial

    spaces and was estimated at 0.6 msf, which was 67%less than the previous quarter. Majority of the supply

    was catering to the IT/ITeS sectors, which accounted

    for over 60%. There were no pre-commitments

    recorded during the quarter. Total absorption was

    recorded at approximately 0.8 msf, which registered

    an increase of 26% over the previous quarter. Thisled to moderation of the vacancy rate, which was

    recorded at 25%

    The rental and capital values for residential

    properties across segments are likely to remain

    stable across most micro markets in Pune. The

    excess supply coupled with moderate demand in

    peripheral locations is likely to put pressure on

    rentals. The slowdown in the economy will lead to

    more developers shifting their offerings towards

    affordable projects in Pune.

    The city is expected to witness an infusion of

    commercial office space for approximately of 0.7

    msf in the next three months of 2012 catering

    mainly to the IT/ITeS sector. Also, the retail market

    in the city is likely to witness approximately

    500,000 sf of additional mall supply by the first

    quarter of 2012.
