1. INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Industry Structure and Developments

The real estate sector plays a vital role in the Indian economy, contributing to approximately 6-8% of its GDP. This underscores the sectors significant role in driving economic growth and job creation, making it an essential component of the countrys overall development. The sector offers a wide range of opportunities, including the option of purchasing, as well as commercial leasing options like office space, mall space, warehouse, and industrial leasing. The commercial segment has experienced robust demand from private equity investors. Indias rapid urbanisation, with an expected 50% of the population living in cities by 2050, presents enormous potential for the sector, leading to surging demand for both residential and commercial real estate across various Indian cities. As a major employment generator and a critical contributor to the countrys economic growth, the Indian real estate sector has a promising future ahead. Retail demand across investment-grade malls, prominent high streets and standalone developments has grown consistently since 2020. The year 2022 reported take-up of nearly 4.7 msft, a Y-o-Y growth of 21%. Leasing activity was primarily driven by Bangalore and Delhi-NCR, with the two cities together accounting for a 60% share. During 2022, retail space take-up in Bangalore was led by primary leasing in newly completed malls. Primary leasing in new malls to remain the chief driver of retail space demand going forward as well. The resumption of economic activity in 2022 post pandemic relaxations led to the release of pent-up demand and a gradual acceleration of return-to-office (RTO) plans by occupiers, which in turn propelled leasing momentum. The office sector in India thus witnessed a remarkable recovery in 2022 from pandemic lows, even as the focus shifted from the pandemics retraction and vaccination coverage to new macroeconomic and geopolitical challenges. The leasing activity in 2022 was led by Bangalore, Delhi-NCR, Mumbai and Hyderabad, with a cumulative share of almost 75%.Hospitality firms boosted their expansion plan due to a strong recovery in demand.

OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS

Opportunities

Real estate sector in India is expected to reach US$ 1 trillion by 2030. By 2025, it will contribute 13 per cent to countrys GDP. Rapid urbanization in the country is pushing the growth of real estate. Indian real estate developers have shifted gears and accepted fresh challenges.

Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has also given its approval for the Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) platform, which will allow all kind of investors to invest in the Indian real estate market. It would create an opportunity worth Rs. 1.25 trillion (US$ 19.65 billion) in the Indian market in the coming years.

Threats

Indian real estate sector accounts for 13 per cent of the countrys Gross Domestic Product and is one of the biggest and globally recognized sectors. The Indian real estate sector is still dependent on old building techniques and hence they are over-dependent on extensive human labour for construction activities. Whereas, high-quality building materials such as concrete and iron slabs are used in new construction techniques. India is touted to be the most populous country by the year 2050. More than 50 per cent of people are urban centers and Tier 1 cities. To accommodate the population, India would require more new cities and urban centers on a mass scale in order to provide the required resources to the inhabitants.

The Indian economy is projected to grow by more than 6.7% in calendar year 2024 as per various institutional estimates, making it one of the fastest-growing economies.

RISKS AND CONCERNS

Through land regulations, land readjustment and land pooling policies, the Government should spare large shares of underutilized and vacant land parcels. By this, it will give some relief to the financially aggrieved developers and help the situation of the real estate sector improve. This calls for an urgent change or revision in the Land Acquisition Resettlement and Rehabilitation Act of 2013. There are a lot of impending projects in the Indian real estate market starting from public sector projects to private sector housing colonies. There is a delay happening in the completion of these projects and the reason for this is that the project does not get enough funding or there is a lack of technology to complete these projects on time. Another big challenge in the Indian real estate sector is the protracted approval process because project approvals in India take about days to years because there is no option of a single-window clearance and it often results in time and cost escalations.
