INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENTS
The Real Estate Industry continues to reel under the recessionary period which has been underway for over 4 years now. The resultant financial crunch has led to very high interest costs and non availability of adequate funding. However, since the past few months, the Government has been focusing on "affordable housing" with the motive of providing housing for all by 2022. This is expected to give a big fillip to the sector. However, it is to be seen how much time it will take for the sector to achieve a turn around.
RERA has been made applicable from May 2017 and this will usher in wide ranging changes in the way business is conducted in Real Estate. The level of transparency will go up and working will become more stream-lined. This augurs very well for your company since it will boost the corporate culture in the Real estate sector.
OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS
OPPORTUNITIES:
The Government has laid down the target of providing housing for all by 2022. Financing at cheaper and subsidized rates are also being made available for this initiative. This will give a significant boost to the entire sector, and as effects start trickling down, all projects will pick up and several new opportunities will present themselves to "corporate entities".
THREATS:
Other than affordable housing, the cost of capital for the sector continues to be extra-ordinarily high and this is a big deterrent to the success of the real estate projects. This cost is unlikely tocome down in the nearfuture.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
The Companys maiden project Palais Royale was the first tall building in the country to get a pre certified LEEDS platinum rating reflecting the high level of commitment of the company to maintaining the environment.
