The general residential buyer has maintained a cautious approach in 2015, however, an increase in enquires has been witnessed towards the end of the year in select cities. We recorded launch of nearly 120,000 units across seven major cities. Despite, decrease in home loan interest rates and various incentives being offered by developers, the transaction volumes in residential real estate continued to remain on lower side across cities. One of the primary reasons of this restraint is increasing delay in the existing under construction projects, quality issues, and higher price points etc.

In 2016, overall property markets are expected to edge further into recovery. There are several factors that can be considered as key drivers for the sector in 2016, such as decreasing interest rates and boosted employment scenario due to increase office absorption. Capital values across cities are expected to remain stable due to huge supply pipeline.

Overall the residential market in Mumbai has seen a slight recovery towards the end of the year, which is evident in the increased number of enquiries. However, the transaction volume has not picked up much. In the primary market, the sales were majorly driven by the mid-range and affordable projects located in Western Suburbs and peripheral areas of Mumbai. In the secondary market, a few premium residential apartments were bought by celebrities and industrialists in South Mumbai and Western Suburbs. On the supply side, due to high unsold inventory levels and overall lower transaction volumes, developers remained cautious in launching new projects. Moreover, an uncertainty loomed over the Mumbai development plan 2034. We recorded, the launch of approximately 35,000 new units this year, which was about 40% less than the last year’s new launches. In the premium residential category, majority of the projects were launched in micro markets such as Worli, Prabhadevi, Bandra West and BKC Annexe, in the price range of INR 23,500 - 27,300 per sq ft. ; in the mid-segment projects were launched in locations such as Kandivali (E), Kanjurmarg (E), Goregaon (E), Thane, Borivali, Vikhroli, Bhandup and Chunabhatti, in the price range of INR 10,500 – 15,000 per sq ft; peripheral markets of Thane and Navi Mumbai witnessed project launches in the range of INR 4,000 to 7,000 per sq ft.

Following the last year’s trend, prime residential market in Delhi remained lack luster in 2015, transaction volumes for prime residential properties remained low in both primary and secondary market. In the primary market, only a few small-scale projects were launched by local level developers in premium locations such as Vasant Vihar, Westend, Jorbagh and Anand Niketan. These projects are currently in the range of INR 45,000 – 65,000 per sq ft. Apart from this, we have seen initial level of activities in newly developing L- Zone under land pooling policy. This area has started developing high interest levels among buyers due to the affordability and address of Delhi. On the supply side, the city witnessed completion of a few small-scale residential redevelopment projects such as ‘Metro Buildtech’, ‘Windshield’, ‘ Uppals’, ‘ Salcon’ and ‘Sanskar Homes’ were ready for possession in Shanti Niketan and Vasant Vihar micro markets. The preference of top executive of embassies and large MNCs to stay near their offices located in secretariat zone, kept the leasing market upbeat. The micro markets such as Defence Colony, Vasant Vihar, Chhatarpur, Diplomatic Enclave, Malcha Marg, Jorbagh, Safdurjung Enclave, Westend and Shanti Niketan were the most preferred micro markets this year.

In 2016, we anticipate a stable scenario in Delhi, with
less new prime projects expected to launch. Capital
values are expected to remain stable in most of the
micro markets, except Vasant Vihar, Greater Kailash,
Westend where few redevelopment projects will
command a premium over the prevailing market rates
due to their newly build configuration and amenities,
like car parking and open area. Rents will remain under
pressure and landlords will be more accommodating in
lease terms in order to retain current tenants and
secure new ones.
On a yearly basis, capital values for prime residential
properties declined in most of the micro-markets barring
few premium micro markets such as Prithviraj Road,
Aurangzeb Road, Chanakya Puri, Golf Links, Jor Bagh,
Sunder Nagar, Shanti Niketan and Westend, where
capital value increased on an average by 7% YoY. Also
rents remained under pressure this year and posted a
average 2% YoY decline.
In a major policy level change, under review of Master
Plan of Delhi 2021, the Ministry of Urban Development
has approved a proposal to allow building residences in
hotels in Delhi. After this change get approved by the
Development Control Regulations for Commercial
Centers, Hotels will be allowed to use up to 40% of the
floor area ratio for commercial offices, retail and
residential purposes. However residential units, can be
built only on 20% of the FAR.

Gurgaon | RESIDENTIAL
2015 remained a dull year for Gurgaon residential market. Transaction volumes and number of new launches both have declined, as the investors choose to remain at bay in anticipation of further decrease in prices. In view of the reduced demand, the city has witnessed launch of a little over 10,000 new units this year, which was about 45% less than the last year. A majority of these projects were launched in micro markets such as Sector 53, Sector 79, Sector 88A & B and Sector 68, in the price range of INR 6,000 – 6,600 per sq ft. ; in Sector 85 and Sector 92 in New Gurgaon, the projects were launched in the price range of INR 4,400 – 5,500 per sq ft. A few projects were also launched in Sohna Region, a newly developing sector, in the affordable range of INR 2,600 to 3,600 per sq ft. In the primary market, the sales were primarily concentrated in New Gurgaon Sectors such as Sector 69 – 73 towards south and Sectors 81 to 95 in west, also some traction was observed in upcoming Sohna region. Apart from this, the projects launched under affordable housing projects scheme in the last two years have observed decent absorption. There are a number of projects lying ready at Dwarka Expressway and New Gurgaon Sectors. Due to connectivity issues the area still has to see proper habitation. However, we noticed, end-users started living in few sectors adjoining NH-8 in new Gurgaon.

On the leasing side, Golf Course Road and M G road
remained as the most preferred locations by expats of
various MNCs and large corporates, mainly due to better
connectivity and availability of premium residential space at
best prices.
This year, the State government has come up with the New
Integrated Licensing Policy (NILP). In this policy, the
government introduced the concept of Transferable
Development Rights (TDR) for the first time in Haryana.
This policy is expected to unlock land in the existing sectors
in Gurgaon and will allow farmers or land owners with small
piece of land to voluntarily monetise their land at current
market price.
The capital values on an average posted a decline of 1%
on yearly basis, however, a few locations such as Golf

In 2016, we expect investors and occupiers will relook
at the residential real estate sector and transaction
volumes to grow from the current levels. This will be
backed by various infrastructural upgrades happening
across the city and the Government initiatives like
Haryana Global Investment Summit, which is further
expected to infuse foreign investment in the city.
Segment wise, mid-range and affordable schemes
projects will continue to see traction . Capital values are
expected to remain under pressure in emerging

2015 started on a cautious note when due to National Green Tribunal’s (NGT) order several completed projects which were awaiting possession could not get occupation certificate from the authority within the eco-sensitive zone around the Okhla Bird Sanctuary. The investor sentiment has abated towards the end of the year where the NGT issue got resolved. The decision has put a ray of hope for buyers as well as developers whose projects were stuck along the Noida Expressway. Despite the resolution of the NGT issue in the later half of 2015, only a handful of new projects were launched towards the end of Noida Expressway. The city witnessed launch of only 6,300 units this year, which was about 36% less than the last year’s new launches. Micro market wise, a few premium projects were launched in sector 128 and 132, in the price range of INR 8,650 – 9,090 per sq ft. In the mid range category, projects were launched in newly developing Sector 150 which is located on NOIDA Expressway and in Sector 79. These projects were priced in the range of INR 4,000 – 4,600 per sq ft. All of these projects are expected to complete in 2019 – 2020. During 2015, various mid segment projects were completed in micro markets like Sector 74, 75, 76, 78 and 137. These were priced in the range of INR 4,400 - 6,000 per sq ft in the secondary market.

Low sales transaction volumes has impacted the capital
values in the secondary market for under construction
projects and deals were available on discount in select
projects. However, sectors such as Sector 100 to 110
and Sector 70 to 79 witnessed an average increase of
4% YoY due to completion of a few residential projects.
In 2015, NOIDA authority has hiked the circle rates by 5 –
10%. With this, Sector 15A and Sector 44 have become
the costliest sectors with a circle rate of INR
90,500/Sq.mtr., which was earlier INR 86,000/ Sq.mtr.
This year private equity fund ICICI Prudential made an
exit from Logix Blossom Green for about INR 62 crores
and invested INR 130 crore in ATS Infrastructure villas

The market is likely to regain momentum only if, it sees
completion of projects as expected; falling interest
rates, coupled with an upbeat economic backdrop,
which will support the overall sentiments. We expect
the completion of a number of projects along NOIDA
Expressway and Sector 70 to 79. Huge upcoming
inventory will continue to put pressure on capital
values. Rents are also likely to come under pressure
due to increased supply in the market.

In 2015, Chennai’s residential property market showed signs of demand revival as enquiries for micro markets such as Velachery, Sholinganallur and Mount-Poonamallee High Road (MPR) gained momentum. Demand from end-users concentrated primarily for projects nearing completion or available for immediate possession. However, developers refrained from introducing any new schemes as they waited for fence-sitters to rethink home purchasing decisions with the arrival of the new year. Select micro markets faced a momentary dip in capital values in the aftermath of recent floods. Nearly 12,000 new units were launched in 2015 as several locations along Old Mahabalipuram Road (OMR) witnessed launches in mid segment. Almost 40% of total units launched in 2015 were concentrated in the post-Sholinganallur toll plaza belt consisting of locations such as Kelambakkam, Navalur and Padur. Most projects launched in this belt were in the price range of INR 3,500 – 5,000 per sq ft. More than 95% of total units launched in 2015 catered to the mid-end segment indicating the change in developer’s product segmentation owing to the demand in this category. Nungambakkam and Kotturpuram witnessed limited launches in high-end segment in the price range of INR 14,500 – 21,000 per sq ft.*

Limited number of ready to move in units came to the

Limited (Mylapore) both of which offered units in the price
range of INR 14,000 -16,000 per sq ft.
Capital values in Nungambakkam and Adyar dropped by
9-15% as landlords/developers reduced pricing to attract
buyers for these premium locations. Capital values in
Sholinganallur, Besant Nagar and Alwarpet, too,
witnessed an annual 2-3% downtick due to dwindling
demand and low enquiries. Rental values in Adyar and
Besant Nagar dipped by 17% annually from peak values.
Corporation of Chennai has finalized T Nagar for “Smart
City Challenge Mission Proposal”. This may push capital
values upwards as the project aims to decongest and
resolve traffic and parking woes for residents.

Demand for residential real estate is expected to remain
stable during the first half of 2015 due to the upcoming
Tamil Nadu Assembly elections. However, the second
half of 2016 may witness demand revival owing to the
impending budget and positive macro economic
indicators. Expansion by corporate occupiers and
strengthening office leasing coupled with fast-tracking of
Metro Rail Phase II construction may give a fillip to
residential pockets along these corridors. Micro markets
such as Nungambakkam and Alwarpet/R A Puram may
witness moderate capital value appreciation due to
steady demand over the year. Rental values are
expected to remain stable in 2016.

During 2015, Bengaluru’s residential property market witnessed the launch of nearly 22,000 new residential units. Nearly one third of the total units launched were concentrated in the southern and south-eastern belt comprising locations such as Sarjapur Road, Electronic City and Bannerghatta Road. All launches in these locations catered to the mid segment category as developers launched new projects due to increased enquiries from both end-users and investors. Additionally, the high office absorption by IT-ITeS sector is another factor which boosted the demand for new residential supply near these prime commercial hubs. Locations in North Bengaluru, such as Hebbal, Hennur Road and Thanisandra Road accounted for 15% of total launched this year, out of which 70% belonged to the mid segment category. Hebbal witnessed the launch of a high-end township from a reputed developer comprising more than 1000 units in totality. Projects in mid segment were launched in the range of INR 3,900 – 6,500 per sq ft and are expected to complete by 2018. Prominent project completions in 2015 included, Nitesh Ceasers Palace on Kanakpura Road and Purva Midtown Residences on Old Madras Road. Both these projects cater to mid segment apartment formats.

capital values in other micro markets may remain stable

Year 2015 concluded on a cautious note in Pune, especially from the sales side. The transaction volumes declined, and there was a marginal decline in new launches as well. Premium projects were unable to attract buyers this year and large share of overall transaction volume was contributed by mid range and affordable category projects. Micro markets such as Baner, Hinjewadi and Wakad have witnessed good traction. An increased office uptake from IT/ITeS occupiers and improved connectivity via Mumbai Pune expressway made a strong case for West Pune micro markets for residential properties. This year about 32,000 new units were launched, which was about 4% less than the last year’s new launches. In the premium residential category, majority of the projects were launched in micro markets such as Koregaon Park, Sopan Baug, Baner and Kothrud in the price range of INR 9,000 - 16,000 per sq ft. ; in the mid-segment projects were launched in locations such as Kharadi, Hinjewadi, Viman Nagar, Wakad, Tathawade, NIBM and Mundhwa, in the price range of INR 5,000 – 8,000 per sq ft. Emerging locations such as, Dhanori, Undri and Tingere Nagar witnessed project launches in the range of INR 4,000 to 4,700 per sq ft.
This year a number of mid range projects saw completion
located in Hadapsar, Kondhwa, Balewadi, Baner, Pisoli,
Wakad, Sus, Undri, Handewadi, Mohammadwadi,
Wanwarie, Pimple Nilakh and Pimple Saudagar micro
markets.
The capital values on an average posted a decline of 3%
on a yearly basis, however, a few micro markets like
Magarpatta, Hadapsar, Baner, Hinjewadi, Wakad,
Pashan, Kothrud, Bavdhan and Wajre were remained
stable.
In 2016, Pune witnessed various private equity
investments and exits such as, HDFC PMS exited from
seven projects; various projects of Marvel Realtors and
ASK Property Investment Advisors exited from two
residential projects in Pune, namely ‘Serano’ by Amit
Enterprises at Baner and ‘Skyone’ by Paranjape
Scheme's at Model Colony. Apart from this, in an
another transaction, Xander Advisors India has invested
around INR 280 crore in Kumar Urban Development’s
residential proposed project at Karve Road in central

We expect, increased demand in residential market in
2016. The strong office uptake from IT/ITeS sector in
2015 is expected to bring more employment to the city
and will result in demand creation for the residential
properties. Developers will continue to supplement
demand via launching more new projects and
completing their existing ventures. Capital values are
likely to remain stable in almost all the micro markets,
due to huge supply in the pipeline.
