MARKETS AND OPERATING ENVIRONMENT

 

MACRO ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

The Indian economy still remains one of the fast growing economies in the world having registered growth rates of 8.6 % and 9.3 % in FY 2009-10 and FY 2010-11 respectively. However, on account of macro-economic uncertainties, it has showed signs of slow down in the last two financial years. The GDP growth was 6.2 % in FY 2011-12 which further dipped to 5.0% in the FY 2012-13. The two important sectors - manufacturing and services - grew at a lesser rate leading to the decline in GDP growth.

Nevertheless, moderating inflation and easing of regulatory requirements to induce investments is expected to provide the much needed stimulus for growth. The Economic Survey has pegged the GDP growth at around 6 % for the current financial year.

SECTOR OVERVIEW

In India, the real estate sector is in an evolution phase. While the sector was historically dominated by a handful of players in the early 90s, it has witnessed a spate of new developers entering the fray in the recent years. The changing customer preferences of urban households have led to increasing demand for quality housing with value added amenities. This paradigm shift in customer preference and increasing customer awareness has attracted more professionals to the sector. The FDI policy issued by the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion has further opened new windows of opportunities for the sector.

There are various factors which act as strong drivers for long term sustainable real estate demand in India such as:

 

1.     Continued economic growth

2.     Trend towards nuclear families

3.     Young working population

4.     Rising disposable incomes

5.     Increased urbanization

6.     Increased immigration

7.     Inherent desire to own a home

 

The Economic Survey 2013 points the following interesting facts which have a bearing on the real estate sector:

1.  The real estate sector contributed 10.8% of GDP while the housing sector contributed 5.9% of the GDP

2.  The per capita income is expected to increase by 11.7%.

3.  Due to moderation of inflation, the Reserve Bank of India has undertaken certain monetary policies to ease the interest rates. The interest rates were marginally reduced, the benefit of which has been passed onto the customers. However, the banks have not yet passed on the benefits to the companies operating in the sector.

4.  RBI, to prevent asset bubble in the real estate sector, continued to assign high risk weight-age to loans disbursed to the companies operating in the sector.

5.  Despite the challenges faced by the economy, the housing credit has been growing.

6.  There is thrust on providing low cost housing loans for the affordable housing segment.

7.  The ECB Guidelines were relaxed to give an impetus to low cost housing projects.

 

However, in spite of importance of the sector, there are various short term factors which impact growth such as:

1.  Inflation

2.  Higher interest rates

3.  High risk weight-age for loans to companies operating in the sector

4.  Non-availability of low cost working capital

5.  Employment growth

6.  Time lag during the approval process while launching a project

7.  Higher statutory levies

8.  Non-availability of skilled manpower

9.  Uncertainties surrounding land title

 

The employment generated in the construction and real estate sector is tremendous and it is, in fact, the second largest employer in the country. The development of the real estate and construction industry can also be directly linked to the development of approximately 300 different industries like cement, steel, building materials etc. It is, therefore, imperative that impetus should be provided to the construction and real estate sector so that overall economic development can be achieved.

THEIR MARKETS

In the real estate vertical, SOBHA has a presence in 7 cities spanning 5 States. The Company has added 3 new markets, viz. NCR, Chennai and Mysore during the last 3 financial years and looks to expand further into cities like Kochi, Kozhikode, Noida / Ghaziabad and Hyderabad.
