REAL ESTATE
Real estate is "Property consisting of land and the buildings on it, along with its natural
resources such as crops, minerals, or water; immovable property of this nature; an interest
vested in this; (also) an item of real property; (more generally) buildings or housing in
general. Also: the business of real estate; the profession of buying, selling, or renting
land, buildings or housing."

Current Scenario of the Indian Real Estate
Realty sector in India has seen unprecedented growth after liberalization in 1991. But
after government allowed 100% FDI in construction business in 2005, real estate sector
experienced phenomenal growth. Before 2005 only Non Resident Indians (NRIs) and
People of Indian Origin (PIOs) could invest in realty sector.
There was restriction on foreign investors other than NRIs and PIOs, who could invest
only through wholly owned subsidiary or joint venture company in India. After this
restriction was lifted, FDI inflow in realty sector increased steeply. In 2003-04, share of
realty sector in total FDI inflow was 4.5% which increased to 10.6% in 2004-05 and 16%
in 2005-06. Another landmark decision by government in 2005 was lowering of cap on
minimum area for development by foreign investors from 100 acres to 25 acres.
This threw open those lucrative parts of Indian realty market to Foreign investors, which
were out of bounds for them till then. This also encouraged them to invest profusely in
Indian realty market and help it reach new heights.

Currently, contribution of realty sector to Indian GDP is about 5% and its market size is
expected to touch US$180 billion by 2020. It has emerged as a popular sector for private
equity funds investing about US$1700 million in 2011. FDI inflow in realty sector in
2011-2012(April-January) stood at 2750crore. It is also one of the highest FDI attracting
sectors.
After 100% FDI was aloud in 2005, constant inflow of FDI was witnessed in realty
sector till mid-2008, when it saw a fall. In Financial year 2007-08, 2008-09 and 2009-10



attracted FDIs of 8.9%, 10.3% and 11% of total FDI but financial year 2010-11 saw a
mere 6% FDI in this sector.

In 2011 a new development was seen. NRIs, whose share of real estate buying was 4%
previously, jumped to 8% mainly due to depreciation in value of rupee. Later on when
rupee plunged to new lows, this trend stabilized. Today, Real estate sector seems to be
one of the most lucrative investment options for NRIs and PIOs, due to recent
depreciation in the value of rupee against dollar. Rupee has plunged 23% within a year
and is bound to rise in future. So, investing in property now can reap rich dividends to
NRIs and PIOs once rupee improves. If rise in rupee is similar to its fall (23% within a
year), NRI buyers buying properties now will automatically get 23% returns on their
investment within a year on this account alone. General increasing trend in property
prices will only add to their returns.

The Indian real estate sector has factors such as the demography and the development of
infrastructure, which work to attract further investment. The organized real estate
scenario in the country has managed to attract the attention of the FDIs in the country. As
per the estimation of the experts, FDI in real estate will grow from $4 billion to $25
billion in the next decade. In fact, a report from the UN has declared that India ranks next
only to China and the US, among the list of most favored investment destination. It is
estimated that the FDI inflow to the real estate sector will increase by 20% during the
financial year 2012-13.









Some of the recent policy initiatives which are expected to serve as a trigger to boost the
investment in the sector include:

1. The Union Budget 2012-13 proposed 1% Tax Deduction at Source (TDS) on
transfer of immovable property if the value of the sale is beyond Rs 50 lakh in
urban areas and Rs 20 lakh in other regions

2. Foreign citizens of Indian origin have been granted permission by the Reserve
Bank of India (RBI) to purchase property in India for residential or commercial
purposes

3. FDI up to 100% is allowed under the automatic route in townships, built-up
infrastructure and construction development projects subject to certain conditions

4. The government has allowed 51% FDI in multi-brand retail subject to conditions
Besides, RBI has also proposed to increase the minimum capitalization
requirement for any company with over 75% foreign holding by treating it as a
wholly owned subsidiary of the foreign company.


An Overview of Real Estate Scenario in I ndia 2013
Over the last few decades, due to rapid urbanization, increasing income levels, and
positive demographics, the real estate sector in India has drawn a major investment.
However, owing to the slow growth of Indian economy in the last two years this field of
business has shown a deceleration. The real estate sector has come down to 6.5% in the
financial year 2012-2013 from a thriving 7.8% in the year 2009-2010. As per the
economy survey, the housing sector in India contributes nearly 5% to the overall GDP of
the nation. Housing sector business ranks 4th, in regard to the multiplier effect of the
countrys financial system. Apart from generating a huge level of employment, this sector
also acts as a stimulant for more than 250 subsidiary industries like building materials,
cement, consumer durables, brick, paint, steel, and so on.
Some of the major challenges that the real estate industry in the country is facing today
are as follows:
1. Deficiency of proper industry status.
2. Absence of Title insurance.
3. Lack of land titles that are clear.
4. Not having enough financial sources.
5. Scarcity of laborer.



6. Increasing cost of material and manpower.
7. Difficulties in getting approval for different procedures involved
8. Land acquisition policy
However, as the inflation rate has been put on control to a certain extent by the RBI
(Reserve Bank of India), there has been a lessening in the cash reserve ratio, so the
economy in the country is expected to improve. It has been predicted that the latter half
of 2013, will experience a growth in real estate sector. So, a real estate company in India
will survive successfully if it also specializes in warehousing logistics in India with a
perfect synchronization.

RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE
Housing prices have soared much higher than the reach of average Indian in the past
decade at an annual rate of 14%. However, price appreciation has slowed significantly
during 2012 in the top seven cities of the country, where capital value has gone up by
only 1-3 percent. Owing to sluggish sales and increased holding and construction cost,
the real estate scenario has found itself in deep waters.
Confederation of real estate developers association of India (CREDAI) responded to the
concerns voiced by the government and CREDAI has asked the developers to consider
selling maximum number of units at discounted price.
The previously offered freebies and other incentives by the developers are not expected
to revive the falling home sales. Along with price correction, there is a possibility of
innovative payment schemes and pre-launch benefits will be offered to the buyer. Big
developers with massive inventories will be under pressure to offer discounts, so that they
can sell off maximum number of units. Although launches have come down by 50% in
most of the Indian cities in the past four quarters, residential launches are predicted to be
on the rise in 2013.
The availability of debt capital in housing sector is likely to increase while the flow of
equity capital will remain stable in 2013. With Securities and Exchange Board of India
(SEBI) allowing debt funds to invest an additional 10% in Housing Finance Companies
(HFCs), liquidity in the housing market is set to increase.

AMRAPALI GROUP
INTRODUCTION
Setting the trend for modern, luxurious and convenient living
A well constructed, luxurious home in a prime location with modern amenities and a
comfortable lifestyle - what more could you ask for? This and more is offered by the
Amrapali Group, one of the fastest growing real estate development corporates in Delhi
and the National capital region.
Focusing on Greater Noida, Indirapuram and other East Delhi locations, the Amrapali
Group has completed projects spread over more than 100 acres. What makes the
Amrapali group stand out is its steadfast dedication to quality and efficient service.
Established by Mr. Anil Sharma, a civil engineer from IIT Kharagpur and a former
government employee, Amrapali is run by a group of highly competent engineers and
over 50 professional and 150 supervisory-grade employees. Amrapali understands the
importance of quality and ensures the best of technology, planning, design and
construction for all of its projects.
In a short span of time, Amrapali has developed luxurious residential complexes,
townships, family entertainment centres, offices and commercial complexes. With its
unmatched expertise in residential development, Amrapali has developed six ultra-
modern residential colonies in and around Delhi.
In its projects, the group's first priority is aesthetics. The name Amrapali has been drawn
from a historical queen, who was reputed to have the beauty and elegance of the likes of
Cleopatra. Design for comfort living is therefore the group's mantra and for this, it
employs the nation's best architect, "Hafeez Contractor". The best amenities for
comfortable living are included in the group's projects - splash pools, modern club
facilities with swimming pools, gym, sports facilities and spaces for community activities
offer the best aspects of community living.
On-time project delivery is another advantage that comes with Amrapalis projects, one
that the group takes a lot of pride in. Professional project management, a dedicated site
supervision team and a high regard for punctuality mean that buyers and investors are
never kept waiting for their property

SUCCESS STORY
Very rarely has a real estate developer achieved such high repute and standing. In the
current scenario, when the Indian economy is growing steadily, real estate is one of its
main drivers. This also means intense competition among developers and more choice for
the home buyers. As consumer awareness grows; quality, range of amenities, long- term
performance and on-time delivery become the discerning factors and developers who can
consistently meet these needs will emerge as winners.
The Amrapali Groups constant and conscious attention to these factors since its
inception has prepared a firm ground for a bright and soaring future. A strong base of
technical expertise and sturdy financial standing ensure that the group has a long innings
and a long-term commitment to developing healthy, pleasant and comfortable
communities.

Why Invest in Noida Extension?

It is the best time to invest in Noida Extension. As the new land acquisition policy of the
UP government will push the real estate prices up, this could well be a dream investment
for those who enter the market at this juncture.

If you plan to buy property in the twin cities of Noida Extension, do not delay. It is the
best time to invest as the new land acquisition policy announced by the UP government
recently, promises an investor's dream being realized. The property rates in the twin cities
could again skyrocket, thanks to the hefty compensation package announced for farmers.




Under the new policy, undoubtedly, authorities will have to face an extra burden, as
developing authorities will be forced to hike the existing rate. It is believed that the
district administration is also planning to revise the circle rates (as a projected 25-30%
hike in existing rates). Such a projected property hike will make both Gurgaon and
Faridabad comparatively cheaper to live in. However, in terms of infrastructure like the
roads, sewers, water and connectivity, Noida Extension will always be the best.

In the new acquisition policy, developers can acquire land directly from farmers and
acquisitions can only happen with the mutual consent of 70% of the farmers in a given
area. In case of disagreement, the project would be reviewed. In the affected villages
where land has been acquired, the developer would have to construct a KisanBhavan as
well as a model school.

Planned implementation and fast progress is synonymous with UP. It is believed in the
real estate circuit that under the prevailing circumstances, implementation of all the mega
plans for UP would see light of day in the next few years. It is clear that those areas
where land has already been acquired and compensation distributed to farmers will be out
of the ambit of new land acquisition policy.

LITERATURE REVIEW

The Real Estate Industry is one of the fastest growing industries in oureconomy, with a
Compound Annual Growth Rate of approximately30%.Developments in the real estate
sector are being influenced by the developments in the retail, hospitality and
entertainment (e.g., hotels, resorts, cinema theatres) industries, economic services (e.g.,
hospitals, schools) and information technology (IT)-enabled services (like call centers).

Impact of consumer attitude towards Residential Real Estate



Real estate market is experiencing a good growth these days. With an increase in the
buying power, the demand for acquiring residential property is also on the rise as more
people are interested to live in luxurious homes or invest in property that will appreciate
significantly in the future. Following the house price collapse of the late 1980s in the UK,
there was considerable criticism of the valuation methods used by residential values. In
particular for the current research, the valuation methods employed by values had not
taken account of buyer behavior in the valuation process, which contributed to inaccurate
valuations. This research investigates both the attitudes of the consumers of residential
property and the actual valuation methods used by values to determine whether they
account for buyer behavior accurately. The study was undertaken on a cross-national
comparative basis in the UK, Ireland and Australia and pursued on a qualitative basis.
Overall, the research concludes that although values believe that buyer behavior is an
important part of the valuation process they simply do not consider buyer preferences. In
effect, values have reduced the valuation task to a confirmation of bid price and, because
of lender pressure which occur worldwide, values overlook the economic sustainability of
the property asset, which has severe implications for housing markets and national
economies that interact with these markets.

Economic problem in commercial Real Estate Sector
Commercial Real estate sector is the fastest growing sector. The advantage of
commercial projects is the attractive leasing rates which have impressive returns and
considerable monthly cash flows.David (2008)shows the reports on the economic
problem faced by the commercial capital's property sector, after the terrorist attacks in
Mumbai, India in December 2008. As developers struggle to find buyers in a city that
once boasted the world's most expensive commercial properties, the terrorist attacks are
scaring away foreign investors that were considering buying into India, and they have
made domestic buyers rethink their purchasing plans. According to an industry analyst,
the main risks to investing in the realestate sector in India have increased in recent times
due to a tougher credit environment for realestate companies especially for those that
have a lot of refinancing; high property prices, and risks of a sector slowdown; and
execution risks.




Role of Selling Price and Marketing Time in the Residential Real Estate Market
Selling price and marketing time plays a vital role. Marketing time varies with the level
of contract mortgage rates for houses of equal quality.Bin Han (spring89) examines the
complex relationship between selling price and marketing time in a large sample of
single-family homes.A key finding is that, for houses of equal quality, marketing time
varies with the level of contract mortgage rates. Over-pricing by sellers is not a
successful strategy, however, even under market conditions in which houses in general
sell relatively quickly.Finally, marketing time is significantly shorter for newer homes,
particularly those in medium or high price ranges, but a home's size has no significant
effect on the number of days it remains on the market.

Affect on Housing Developers in Real Estate business
The role of housing developers is to provide all basic amenities like good quality and
timely delivery of the property. It is very important that the consumers are satisfied with
the developers work and remain associated with it. Mukhija (2004) examines the policy
advice of enabling markets and market-based actors to provide affordable housing in
developing countries. In this case, after receiving public sector help, the developer
stopped constructing housing for low-income groups. The paper argues for a more
cautious, circumspect and varied approach because enabling strategies focused on market
actors can produce highly uncertain outcomes. In addition, it emphasizes that policy-
makers need a better understanding of how the informal and formal sectors can overlap.
Enabling informal developers can be even trickier because public support can reduce
their flexibility and incentives, as well as impacting on the expectations and opportunities
of the home-buyers.
Real estate market is experiencing a good growth these days. With an increase in the

the group is also having with various other projects in Udaipur, Vrindavan, Indore,
Raipur and Jaipur but for further growth, it has to come up with projects all across India.

consumers towards the brand.










RECOMMENDATI ONS

1) Most of the Amrapalisprojects are Residential but having the potential they should
come out with vibrant possibilities for commercial& attract valued retailers.

2) Demand for ready to move in projects are always there but this territory enjoys under
construction property exposure but the customer over here knows the value and the
advantages of having patience of witnessing property growth & enumerating the
appreciations in the coming future.

3) Customers are looking for those builders which use excellent construction material and
provide them timely possession of the property. Reputation of the builder depends upon
how particular the builder is in delivering the property and Amrapali need to focus on
maintaining his reputation by scheduled completion of the projects.

inventory is still in a great volume
