during 4Q 2011 GdP grew at 6.9 % in real terms suggesting a moderation in growth in comparison •to preceding two quarters. The finance minister presented India’s Union Budget 2012 -13 this quarter projecting a GdP growth rate of 7.6% for 2012-13.

The headline inflation figure moderated from 8.3% in december 2011 to 6.6 and 6.95% in •January and February 2012, respectively. keeping in view the moderation in inflation rate the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) reduced the CRR (Cash Reserve Ratio) by 50 basis points in January for the first time since one and a half year. A further reduction of 75 basis point was made in march 2012. The current CRR rate is 4.75%.

The Budget remained silent on most of the major real estate related issues. It did however •mentioned that efforts are on to arrive at a political consensus on the issue of allowing 51% Foreign direct Investment (FdI) in multi-brand retailing.

The Budget aims to provide impetus to affordable housing by providing various incentives to both •developers and end users. For example the External Commercial Borrowings (ECB) is allowed for low cost housing projects which would help developers to raise debt at a lower rate.

From an end user perspective, the budget provides few incentives including, Service tax •exemption for construction service related to residential dwelling and low cost mass housing up to an area of 60 sq mtr under the scheme of affordable housing. The existing scheme of interest subvention of 1% for housing loans up to INRs 15 lakh (where the cost of the house does not exceed INR 25 lakhs), was extended by one more year.

MuMBAI

This quarter several new residential projects •were launched in mumbai including a few premium residential projects such as “Imperia” by Raheja Universal, and “ITC Glory” and “Aquino” by Rohan Lifescapes. All of these new launches were located in western suburbs and were priced in the range of INR 22,000 to 32,500 per sq ft.

Construction activities remained slow and no •new supply was added to the prime residential stock in mumbai.

Buyer’s sentiments remained cautious on the •backdrop of the current economic scenario and fewer transactions were recorded during the quarter.

Capital values for prime residential properties •in western suburbs such as Bandra, Santacruz, Andheri, khar and Juhu recorded an increase in the range of 3 to 9%. On the contrary, properties located in South Central locations observed downward pressure on capital values and saw a marginal correction quarter-on-quarter.

due to steady demand for high-end rental •premises, rental values for prime residential properties witnessed marginal increase in the range of 1 to 2% quarter-on-quarter in most of the micro-markets barring locations such as Worli, Andheri, Juhu and Powai where rental values remained stable on account of ample supply.

DElhI

The new residential supply in the premium •segment remains restricted, as only a few redevelopment projects were completed this quarter. Similarly no new residential projects were launched this quarter, except for a few redevelopment projects undertaken by local developers.

Capital value of prime residential properties •appreciated in the range of 5 to 10% across all the micro markets in 1Q 2012. However, buyers’ sentiments remained cautions due to prevailing uncertainties in economy.

demand for premium residential properties •remained consistent in South delhi’s much sought after locations such as Prithviraj Road, Aurangzeb Road, Chanakya Puri, Golf Links, Jor Bagh and Sunder Nagar, however, in Shanti Niketan, Westend, Panchashila, Anandlok, Niti Bagh, SdA, Friends Colony, maharani Bagh, Greater kailash I & II, South Extension, Anand Niketan and Vasant Vihar rents appreciated in the range of 2 to 9%.

In order to facilitate smooth travel between •the two cities, delhi and Gurgaon, the delhi development Authority (ddA) has planned to develop three Urban Extension Roads (UERs) connecting dwarka to Palam Vihar, Najafgarh to dhansa and Nelson mandela Road to mG Road.

The delhi government has given its in-•principle approval for developing a monorail corridor of 10.8 kms in Trans-Yamuna area. This monorail line is expected to link between Shastri Park metro station and Trilokpuri via Laxmi Nagar in East delhi and will have 12 stations. It is proposed to be functional by end of 2017.

NOIDA

After 2 subdued quarters, real estate activities •have picked up in NOIdA with the launch of number of residential projects.

The project launched during the quarter •includes “max Bilss” by Property Guru Pvt. Ltd.,“ New Rajnigandha Greens” by Rajput Group,“ORB”by Supertech Ltd.,“Parx Laureate”by Laureate Buildwell, “ The Aranya” by Unnati Fortune Holdings Ltd. and “Victory Cross Roads” by Victory Infra Tech.

There were few projects that were ready •for possession this quarter including Lotus Boulevard Phase I developed by 3C Universal located in sector 100.

Buyers remained cautious and were delaying •their buying decisions in expectation of a decrease in mortgage rates in the near future and in anticipation of clarity over various land-related issues prevailing in nearby upcoming residential pockets such as NOIdA extension and Yamuna Expressway.

Capital values registered an increase in the •range of 5 to 8% across select prime locations during the quarter for high-end properties due to limited supply of ready to move in properties in this segment.

Similarly, the rents for prime residential properties witnessed an increase in the range of 2 to 4% quarter-on-quarter; however rents for mid range properties remained stable dur- ing the quarter.

In 1Q 2012 average capital values for the prime •residential market increased in the range of 5 to 10% due to limited supply. However, capital values for mid-range properties remained stable during the quarter as buyer sentiments remained subdued on account of prevailing high mortgage rates.

Rental values across the market remained •stable; however, demand for high-end, smaller sized apartments was on the rise. Rents in Boat Club Road, one of the most sought-after locations of prime residential properties witnessed a marginal increase of around 2% quarter-on-quarter due to limited supply.

A number of projects / phases of the projects •were completed this quarter in Bengaluru. Projects / phases of the projects ready for possession were “Godrej Crest” by Godrej Properties at Hebbal, “dimoro” by Legacy Group at Jakkur, “Beau monde” by ETA Group and “Brigade Cresent” by Brigade Group both located at Binny Cresecnt Road, “Skyline Eternity” by Skyline developers at Richmond Town and “Shipani Grande” by Shipani Builders at koramangala.

The residential market remained active with a •number of projects launched across all of the segments. most of the projects launched were in the price band of INR 3,500 to 6,500 per sq ft due to steady demand for mid-income affordable housing.

In 1Q 2012 average capital values for the prime •residential market increased in the range of 5 to 10% in locations like Cooke Town, Central, Palace Orchads, koramangala and Yelahanka due to limited supply and consistent demand for high-end properties. However, capital values in suburban and peripheral locations remained stable during the quarter.

demand from corporate occupiers was on the •rise in locations like Cooke Town, Indranagar, Bannerghatta Road and Whitefield due to proximity to the well-established commercial hubs. This has resulted in an increase in rental values in the range of 2 to 5% in these locations.

For efficient property tax mobilisation, the •Bangalore Corporation has introduced a geographical information system (GIS) based property identity (PId) system this quarter.

JAMES COOK Director of Research | USA

Global Industrial Trend ForecastGrowing global trade will steady demand for quality warehouse space in many regions.Industrial vacancy rates will further drop in most markets. Some markets, U.S. and Australia among them, will experience a lack of new supply in the face of growing demand.Prime warehouse rents will climb in most Asia Pacific markets, remain stable in EMEA and LATAM, and continue to strengthen in North American markets.

Citing deteriorating financial conditions and dimming growth prospect, the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) revised its September 2011 World Economic Outlook growth projections downward in January 2012. However, the IMF still forecasts that global trade volume will rise by 3.8 percent in 2012 and 5.4 percent in 2013; as global trade rises, so too will demand for warehouse space.

While warehouse rents have stabilized in most EMEA and Latin American markets, prime warehouse rents quoted in local currencies increased in the majority of Asia Pacific and North American markets in 2011 over the previous year. We expect this trend to continue, with prime warehouse rents climbing in most Asia Pacific and North American markets in the next year.

Latin American Rents Poised to Stabilize In Latin America, prime warehouse rental rates took a fall. In 71.4 percent of the markets we track, year-end rents decreased in 2011 from a year earlier. However, we expect warehouse rents in Latin America to stabilize in the coming year.

São Paulo saw a 12.4 percent drop in warehouse rents in local currency, due to increased supply. However, with absorption set to outpace supply,

we expect overall warehouse rents in the São Paulo region to rise by as much as four percent in the coming year.

Mexico City saw a three percent decrease in its industrial vacancy rate in the second half of 2011, down to 4.8 percent. Mexico was more negatively affected by the recession than most countries in North America, and its economic future is largely tied to that of its key trading partner, the United States. But with U.S. growth on the upswing, Mexico too is poised to grow at a modest rate and we expect that vacancies could make further drops in the country.

Steady Demand in North America Since peaking in 2010, growth in the manufacturing and distribution industry has kept the U.S. vacancy rate dropping in a mostly regular fashion. Vacancy dropped to 9.72 percent in Q4 2011. With construction proceeding at low levels, we expect vacancies to continue to drop at a measured rate into 2013.

Toronto, Canada’s biggest industrial market, saw 13.7 million square feet of industrial space absorbed in 2011, and the city’s prime warehouse rents grew by 7.1 percent in the second half of 2011.

Dropping Vacancies in Most Asian MarketsAsia Pacific saw dropping vacancies in nearly every market. Prime warehouse rents grew in more than half of the markets, and observers in more than half of those markets expect that warehouse rents will continue to climb over the next six months.

Australian industrial has been especially strong in most major markets. Retail purchases, made more attractive by the relatively strong Australian dollar, have pushed up demand for large warehouse space in several port markets. While there is growing demand for large modern warehouse

SECOND HALF 2011 | OFFICE

JAMES COOK Director of Research | USA

Global Office Trend ForecastGlobal office vacancies will continue their decline, due to steady demand and low levels of new construction in North America and Europe. The “flight to quality” trend will continue in many major markets, with occupiers trading up to higher-quality space or a better location as their leases expire.The European sovereign debt crisis will likely push the Eurozone into a mild recession in early 2012. This contraction will be felt most profoundly in a handful of commercial property markets within the most troubled nations.

Economic prospects in the Eurozone have slightly reduced overall positive global expectations for market performance in 2012. We expect continuing modest demand for office space, with most cities seeing a drop in vacancy rates. But global averages do not speak to the nuances of individual markets, and—while we expect positive absorption due to business growth and expansion in the United States, China and Australia—some Eurozone countries may see negative absorption and increased vacancy as the region enters a mild recession.

Latin America Boasts the Tightest Office MarketsSome of the world’s lowest office vacancy rates are found in Latin American cities. Santiago, Chile; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; São Paulo, Brazil; and Lima, Peru all have vacancy rates below three percent, resulting in a market that strongly favors landlords, prompts new construction and might squeeze some tenants that desire to expand. For the most part, we expect the strength of these markets to persist. While decreases in European demand for its commodities will likely hurt Latin America, this will be tempered by continued demand from China. In São Paolo, heightened demand has spurred the highest rates of new development in the region, which will eventually put downward pressure on asking rents.

Select Asia Pacific Markets See Big Vacancy DropsThe global trend in dropping vacancy rates should be evi-dent in Asia and continue through 2012. Markets that saw a drop in vacancy in the second half of 2011 outnumbered by a two-to-one margin those where vacancy increased.

Of the world’s most populous markets, those with the most significant declines in six-month vacancy rates were nearly all in the Asia Pacific region. Chengdu, propelled by its strong manufacturing sector, saw its vacancy rate drop by 7.8 percent in the period, and Shanghai saw a 3.2 percent drop in vacancy.

Two other large Asian markets saw vacancy rates drop by 1.5 percent or more: Jakarta, which has also seen sustained growth in CBD rental rates and renewed global investor interest; and Singapore, where occupancies are expected to stabilize.

Marquee Markets See Rent DeclineWhile Hong Kong, London’s West End and Paris command the top three highest asking rents for Class A office space,

each has shown apparent decline in rents between June and December of 2011, when quoted in U.S. dollars. Substantial declines, in fact: led by a $10.87 USD drop in Parisian Class A rents.

But how significant are these figures? The change in London and Paris rents is due to the strengthening dollar relative to the euro and pound sterling. In local currency, prime rents in these markets are holding ground. Although smaller, the decline in Hong Kong of $7.56 USD ($5.10 HKD) per square foot may be a more important indicator of things to come, as demand from the banking and financial sector continue to weaken.

EMEA and Asia Pacific Lead Global ConstructionA significant percentage of the office space under construction is in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), and much of that is occurring in Moscow and Dubai. While both of these markets should expect strong economic growth in 2012, the fact that Dubai—with a vacancy rate of 50 percent—is constructing at such a pace leads us to expect that supply will continue to outpace demand in that market.

The other two top markets for office construction are in the Asia Pacific region. Guangzhou—China’s leading commercial port city—and Tokyo have 19.6 and 15.6 million square feet under construction respectively. Asian economic growth rates will remain strong in the coming months, with China and India leading the pack. Rents are on the rise in most cities in the region. However, dropping rents in Seoul and Hong Kong are a potential indicator of global economic uncertainty. In Tokyo, where new supply has been increasing for the past three years, we expect construction to peak and begin to decline in the coming year.

Budget Highlights | Real Estate

Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee started his budget speech 2012-13 in the backdrop of challenging macroeconomic scenario. The finance minister projects the economy to grow by 7.6% in the next fiscal up from 6.9% in 2011-12. He mentioned that due to adverse global economic sentiments there has been a slowdown in the Indian Economy but the fact is India still remains among the front runners in the economic growth in any cross country comparison. The budget aims at faster, sustainable and more inclusive growth across sectors emphasizing on five focus areas including revival of domestic consumption, rapid revival of high growth in private investment, removal of supply bottlenecks, addressing malnutrition in 200 high burden districts and expedite improvement in delivery system, governance and transparency.

From a real estate perspective, the budget remained silent on most of the major issues including status of STPIs (Software Technology Parks of India), Real Estate Regulatory Bill, Land Bill etc. however, it mentioned that efforts are on to arrive at a political consensus on the issue of allowing 51% Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in multi-brand retail.

THE KEY HIGHLIGHTS OF THE BUDGET WHICH MAY IMPACT REAL ESTATE SECTOR ARE AS FOLLOWS:

- External Commercial Borrowings (ECB) for low cost affordable housing projects. Impact: Real estate companies developing large affordable housing projects with large fund requirements will benefit the most from the easing of external commercial borrowing (ECB) norms as interest rate charged is lower in case of external borrowings in comparison to rates charged by domestic institutions.

- Increase in provision under Rural Housing Fund to INR 4,000 crore from the existing INR 3,000 crore.Impact: It will provide housing finance to targeted groups in rural areas at competitive rates.

- Extension of the existing scheme of interest subvention of 1% on housing loans up to INR 15 lakh where the cost of the house does not exceed INR 25 lakh for another year. Impact: This will boost the affordable housing segment by providing cheaper loan to the end users.
