INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

The current downturn provides an opportunity to push ahead with reforms to accelerate growth, says the latest India Development Update report released by the World Bank. The report says that the adverse effects of rupee depreciation are likely to be offset by the gains in the exports performance due to improved external competitiveness. Since May this year, the local currency has depreciated substantially and fell to a record level of Rs 68.85 to a dollar on August, 28.

 

A stagflation like situation appears to have arisen as inflation jumped to an eight month high of 6.46 % for the month of September. It is up from 6.10 % in August. Growth continues to be muted with factory output plunging to 0.6  % in August. Onion prices have risen nearly 300 % from last September. Vegetables cost nearly 90 % more than they did last year. Wake up to the economic contribution of slum dwellers. They contribute more than 7.5 % to the country’s gross domestic product, according to a recent study conducted in 50 top cities.

 

136000 estimated number of jobs created during the second quarter of the current financial year. 50000 estimated number of additional jobs in the field of corporate social responsibility in the coming years.

 

The International Finance Corporation expects to come out with its rupee linked bonds issue before the end of 2013 as a part of its plan to raise $ 1 billion. The Apple iPhone 5c (Rs 41900 for 16 GB variant) and 5s (Rs 53500 for 16GB variant) has been launched in India from 1st November.

 

The Land Acquisition Act to provide just and fair compensation to farmers will come into force from January 1 next year, said Rural Development Minister Jairam Ramesh. The Act replaces a 119 year old registration. The Securities and Exchange Board of India has approved the trading of currency futures on the Bombay Stock Exchange. The exchange plans to launch the currency futures platform with advanced trading technology by the end of November.

THE YEAR IN RETROSPECT

 

Commercial office space market continued to be sluggish during FY 2013 across Mumbai and especially in the Nariman Point mirco-market. Vacancy levels continued to be in the range of 10% to 25% across micro markets in Mumbai.

 

Leasing activity in Nariman Point was confined to only 2-3 buildings, and Express Towers got major share out of the new leases happening in the micro-market. Express Towers also continue to consolidate its position of the most sought after buildingin the micro-market by steadily commanding vis a vis other "A' grade buildings in the vicinity.

 

In these challenging times the company was able to lease out about 106,000 sq ft including renewals tc multiple clients achieving an average rental of Rs. 252 psft/pm (excluding CAM charges) (against an average rental of Rs. 200 - Rs. 225 psft/pm for A Grade buildings in Nariman Point). Express Towers continues its position as the prime property in the CBD Mumbai due to its professional management and the Repositioning & Re-branding exercise which has been successfully completed. It is now considered as a brand representing an "Elite Neighbourhood" in the Nariman point. Current vacancy is in the building is about 17%.
