1. Economic Overview Global Economy:
The global recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and Russias
invasion of Ukraine is slowing amid widening divergences among economic sectors and
regions. Supply chains have largely recovered, and shipping costs and suppliers
delivery times are back to pre-pandemic levels. But forces that hindered growth in 2022
persist.
Globally, infl ation has been moderating on the back of easing
commodity prices. Yet core infl ation remains stubborn due to still strong momentum
in prices of services that are usually sticky, with output being relatively
labour-intensive and susceptible to wage pressures. As per IMF, global headline infl
ation is expected to fall from 8.7 percent in 2022 to 6.8 percent in 2023 and 5.2 percent
in 2024. Policy tightening by central banks in response to infl ation has raised
the cost of borrowing, constraining economic activity. The banks in advanced economies
have signifi cantly tightened lending standards, curtailing the supply of credit.
The impact of higher interest rates extends to public fi nances. The economists
worry that the tightening of fi nancial conditions could set off a rapid repricing
of assets and a sharp rise in credit spreads leading up to signifi cant fi
nancial stresses.
The global growth remains supported by the rebound in services, but
sluggish manufacturing and trade activity are operating as drags. Despite the headwinds,
global economic activity was resilient in the fi rst quarter of 2023, with that
resilience driven mainly by the services sector. The post-pandemic rotation of consumption
back toward services is approaching completion in advanced economies, and it accelerated
in a number of emerging market and developing economies.
Indian Economic Overview
The Indian economy powered through 2022 despite a shaky geopolitical
environment and the threat of a looming recession in large, developed economies. India
emerged as the fastest-growing large economy in the world and was one of the few bright
spots in an otherwise bleak global economic environment during the year. The World
Investment Report 2023 of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD)
expects India to remain a bright spot in a challenging global environment.
The RBI has hiked the repo rate by 250 bps since May 2022 and the last
25 bps hike in Q1 2023 pushed home loan rates within striking distance of those existing
in pre-pandemic 2019. Indias external debt remained broadly stable at US$ 625
billion at the end of March 2023, declining to 18.9 per cent of GDP from 20.0 per cent a
year ago, as per the data released by the RBI at the end of June 2023.
Indias robust macroeconomic fundamentals, including a large
domestic market and a young, expanding workforce, contribute to its economic strength. The
governments sustained focus on policies promoting manufacturing and innovation
further enhances its growth potential. As macroeconomic prospects steadily improve, India
is dynamically seeking fuller expression of its full potential and a transformative change
in its global position.
2. Indian Real Estate Industry Overview
The Indian real estate market is currently undergoing a period of rapid
growth. This is due to a number of factors, including strong economic growth, rising
incomes and a growing population. As a result, there is a high demand for real estate in
India, and this demand is expected to continue to grow in the coming years. It is also the
second highest employment generator in the country. In addition to the growth of
traditional segments like residential, commercial and retail, and newer segments such as
warehousing, logistics, industrial parks, data centers, etc.
3. OPPORTUNITIES, THREATS / RISKS AND CONCERNS: Opportunities
We believe that long term structural potential for the sector to grow
is immense. Indian real estate industry has strong structural growth drivers which will
keep the longer-term demand trends robust even as the industry undergoes the sectoral
cyclicality. These are as under:
Rapid urbanization boosting urban population Nuclearization of families
Improving education levels Rising household incomes
As the bank rate start moving down modestly in-line with infl
ation, demand will further get a boost as consumers will want to benefi t from low
home loan rate scenario.
The offi ces segment exhibiting gradual recovery, resulting in
improvement in occupancy levels mainly due to the back-to-offi ce policies,
Threats/Risks/Concerns:
Real estate being a cyclical industry and projects have a long
gestation period, gets impacted more by the changes in macroeconomic variables like global
and countrys economy, changes in the market dynamics, availability of capital,
interest rate, GDP Growth, employment, purchasing power, infl ation, availability
of skilled labour, etc., and the same directly impacts the project sales and profi
tability of the Company.
Execution delay may result in cost overruns and it can cost dearly in
the form of higher than expected input cost and higher than anticipated interest burden.
Further, such delays also negatively impact the Companys reputation and returns.
Also, intrinsic challenges that hinder growth of the sector and
performance of your Company, factors such as high borrowing costs, lack of funding,
liquidity issues and slow (and uneven) development of urban infrastructure.
As the growth of your Companys portfolio is linked to the overall
economic growth, primary risk to the business is adverse changes to the economy.
