Will INR Depreciation Lead


to Homecoming of NRI Real
Estate Investors?
Dubai is touted as the world-class property investment destination in
the Middle East. In 2012, real estate prices witnessed a 10% growth
y-o-y, as per the Dubai Land Development (DLD) authoritys data.
Also, the real estate transactions increased by 8% to AED 154
million. Interestingly, this recovery is backed by huge investments by
expatriates, particularly from India as nonresident Indians (NRIs) are
amongst the top five investors in the Middle East. However, with the
natural affinity towards home-biasness for India, and against the
recent depreciation of the Indian rupee (INR) against the US dollar
(USD), could the real estate investment decisions of the NRI
community be changed in favour of India?
Indian real estate prices have increased dramatically over the last
few years. Immediately following the global financial crisis (GFC),
Indian property prices witnessed a significant rise averaging 40
42% across all major markets, as per the database of Real Estate
Intelligence Services (REIS), Jones Lang LaSalle (refer to Figure 1).
Even in cities like Mumbai, where capital values were already high,
returns stood at 66% during the same period. Contrary to this,
DLDs data for Dubai suggests property prices witnessed a 65%
slump in the four-year period before 2012, thereby enabling us to
suspiciously ask whether a 10% rally in 2012 is all that startling.

More recently, INR has witnessed a significant 12% depreciation
against USD since the start of May 2013 until the end of June 2013,
thereby forcing its value down against all other currencies that are
pegged to USD, including the UAE dirham (AED). As a
consequence, INR has also depreciated against the AED by 12%
during the same period.
A simple back-of-envelope calculation suggests that for instance, if
a Dubai-based NRI invests AED 10 million in the Indian real estate
now (INR/AED at 16.4), and assuming only a conservative 15%
returns from the Indian real estate in the near term for key markets,
he could expect repatriated returns of over 27% (15% of returns
from real estate market plus 12% of currency appreciation),
assuming that the INR returns to its pre-May mean of 14.8/AED
(refer to diagram).

Merely the incremental return of 12%, owing to exchange rate
fluctuation, is comparable to the 1012% of total returns expected
by DLD in the near term from the investment in Dubai real estate.
Similar incremental returns can be expected from investments made
by NRIs from other parts of the Middle East where the local currency
is mostly pegged to USD (refer to Table-1).
Table-1: Incremental gains from INR exchange rate
UAE (Dirhams) 12.5%
Saudi Arabia (Rial) 12.4%
Oman (Rial) 11.8%
Kuwait* (Dinnar) 12.0%

It could be argued that expat-Indians may be favouring Dubai over
the Indian real estate on the basis of socio-economic and other
factors. According to media sources, Indian investors were buying
properties in Dubai as it offers relative political stability, world class
infrastructure, tax benefits, attractive prices and geographical
proximity.
However, a recent survey conducted by Sumansa Exhibitions, the
organiser of the Indian Property Show in UAE, portrays a different
picture. The survey reveals that NRIs place a higher intrinsic value
to property owned in India over that owned in Dubai or elsewhere.
Apart from strict visa rules in the Middle East region along with
certain regulatory obstacles in buying a property in the Emirates,
critical triggers that could help sustain their interest in Indian
property market include higher economic growth in India, improving
infrastructure, renewed political focus on timelines for new
infrastructure initiatives, rising demand for commercial space in the
market (leading to job creation), social infrastructure and price
trends. Putting these things into perspective, the recent fall of INR
could potentially act as a trigger amongst the NRI community in the
Middle East to switch their focus towards the properties back in
India.

Bangalore
Bangalore office market saw improvement in
transaction activity during June compared with the
previous month. The combination of stable demand
and restricted supply kept the citys overall vacancy
rate low during the month. Interestingly, the IT/ITES sector
accounted for the majority of leasing, with major companies taking
up space in the quarter including Disney, Amazon, Honeywell,
Synergy and TP Vision. The city witnessed the completion of Global
Village Technology Park Phase III Tower 3, Kalyani Platina Oak,
Kalyani Platina Crystal and Nagarjuna Garnet. Rents continued to
remain stable across the city. However, capital values marginally
appreciated because of improved demand and investor sentiments.

Bangalores retail market saw continued steady
consumer demand in June. As a result, the vacancy
in malls reduced marginally. In addition, the high
streets continued to see modest absorption in the
month. Some of the major transactions in the city included leasing
by Starkes, FabIndia, McDonalds, KFC and Pepe Jeans. Rents
continued to remain stable over the month. Capital values also
remain unchanged because of poor investor sentiments towards
buying retail property.
Residential market saw modest absorption during
June in Bangalore. The city also witnessed an
increased number of launches over the month, with
the notable ones including Prestige IVY Terraces by
Prestige Group, Sobha Santorini by Sobha Developers and DNR
Atmosphere by DNR Corp. Rents remained stable over the month.
However, capital values appreciated marginally across various
submarkets because of increased sales volumes and marginal
upsurge in price at most projects that are nearing completion.

Chennai

After a few months of slowdown, office leasing
gained momentum during the month of June. The
majority of supply in 2013 would be coming from the
most preferred office locations of pre-toll Old
Mahabalipuram Road (OMR). Important to mention, the new office
supplies such as Ramanujan IT City and SP Infocity are gaining
steady demand from the occupiers. Apart from the OMR, SBD
locations such as Guindy and Mount-Poonamallee Road (MPR) also
witnessed healthy demand in June. Notable new occupiers in this
submarket included Visionary RCM, Solartis and iGold
Technologies. Average office rents in Chennai saw marginal
increase on the back of improving demand.
The high streets of Chennai continued to witness
healthy leasing activity with electronics showrooms
such as Poorvika and Samsung, as well as several
quick serving resturant brands that opened in June.
The city also witnessed the opening of Spencers hypermarket in
Velachery. With the new malls operating with nearly full occupancy,
retailers are chasing potential properties in the high street locations
such as T Nagar, Adyar and Velachery, supporting the rental growth
in the high streets.
Residential sales remained restricted in Chennai.
However, the number of new launches improved
during the month of June. Some of the prominent
launches during the month were Prince Highlands in
Iyyapanthangal, Kgeyes Samyuktha in Madambakkam and VGN
Dynasty in Melapakkam. In addition, Marutham Group launched two
new projects near Tambaram and Casa Grande and added one
more villa project named Avalon in Perumbakkam. Capital values
and rents remained largely unaltered during the month.

Delhi
The demand for office space was showing signs of
improvement in June with occupiers looking to close
the transactions. The major transactions during the
month included GroupM Media and Manpower
leasing space in Cyber City-Gurgaon, Samsung taking up space in
Noida Expressway and SYSTRA renting space in the SBD. Unitech
Infospace, Sec 48, Block 4 in Gurgaon (Sohna Road); Unitech
Infospace, Gurgaon Phase II, Building Six on National Highway 8,
Dundahera; and Ascendas OneHub Phase I commenced operation
in June with moderate to low occupancy. Rents increased in DLF
Cyber City, MG Road and Golf Course Road within the given range.
However, capital values remained unaltered across all the
submarkets.
The retail demand in Delhi was sluggish because of
the constraints in the availability of good space.
Retailers were mostly active with the pre-
commitment of space in the upcoming malls that
would offer the promise of good location, design, branding and
business potential. Some of the major transactions in June included
Yauatcha and Burberry Brit both leasing space in Prime South,
Starbucks renting space in Prime Others and Croma taking up
space in the Noida suburbs. TDI Town Square Mall at Nehru Place
Metro Station in Prime Others submarket commenced operation
with high occupancy. On the contrary, I Mall in the Greater Noida
suburbs started with moderate occupancy in June. Rents increased
marginally in Prime South and Prime Others submarkets.
Interestingly, capital values continued to remain stable throughout
the city.
The residential demand witnessed signs of
slowdown. Meanwhile, studio apartments performed
well because of the low ticket size being associated
with it. Over the month, new launches were noted
only in Noida, Ghaziabad and Faridabad, while the prominent
launches included ATS Pristine by ATS Infrastructure in Noida,
Palm Resort by MR JKG in Ghaziabad and Aravali One by
Maxheights Infrastructure in Faridabad. Rents remained stable in
June. Meanwhile, capital values increased in growth corridors and
the rise in values varies with projects.

Leasing volumes improved in June. Again most
leases were focused on Hitec City where good
quality leasable space is fast reducing. Leasing
activity was more focussed in Hitec in June was
followed by CBD submarket. There were also a few leases closed in
Gachibowli submarket. Interestingly, the Pocharam submarket again

Adap.TV, NetElixir, Centrica and Metlife taking space in the CBD;
and IL&FS and Biological E securing space in SBD. Salarpuria
Cyber Park, which is almost fully occupied, commenced operations
in June. There were many occupiers who vacated spaces either to
consolidate or to relocate, increasing the overall vacancy in the city.
Therefore, average market rents and capital values remained stable
over the month.
Retailers continued to focus on leasing high street
space for ready-to-move-in spaces while pre-
committing spaces in the upcoming malls. Key
transactions in June included Chhabra 555 and Axis
Bank leasing space in Banjara Hills; F Studio taking space at
Nagarjuna Circle; and Pai Electronics, W, Khazana and Malabar
Gold renting in Dilshuknagar. Pre-leasing continued in few

projects including a villa project by Sri Srinivasa
Constructions called Esmeralda Fortune in
Kondapur and an apartment project by PNR Infra called High Nest
in Kukatpally. Rents and capital values continued to increase
marginally across all the submarkets as newly launched residential
projects were sold at a price higher than the market average over

Kolkata office market witnessed moderate activity as
transactions which were going on for a long time
concluded during June. The vacancy increased
marginally on the back of new completions. Infinity
IT Lagoon and Ecostation, both at Salt Lake, commenced
operations in June. The major transactions in the month included

they remained unaltered across all other submarkets in the city.
Retail activity in the malls of the city continued to

Mumbai
Office leasing continued exhibiting improvement over
the month of June. Projects in the advanced stage of
construction recorded moderate pre-commitments.
Companies were opting for consolidation and
relocation, over the expansion. Banking, financial services and
insurance (BFSI) and IT industries remained the driving force behind
the robust transactions in the month. Vacancy rates reduced
minimally in June across select submarkets, except in the eastern
suburbs. Important to mention, eastern suburbs submarket
witnessed a few tenants relocating to relatively cheaper submarkets
to avail lower cost advantage. Major transactions included Apple Inc
leasing space in SBD Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) and Tata AIA
renting space in SBD Central. Kalpataru Prime at Thane submarket
commenced operation in June. Rents and capital values in the
western suburbs submarket rose slightly. However, other
submarkets saw no change in either rents or capital values over the
month.

Organised retailing continued to witness moderate
demand over the month. Categories such as clothing
and F&B remained to be the driving force behind
demand generation. Interestingly, high street retail
space in the suburbs, especially in Borivali and
Ghatkopar saw moderate transaction activities. A select pool of
occupiers has started considering mixed-use project to open up the
outlets. However, vacancy in the malls remained stable across the
month. Major transactions in June included Cottonworld renting
space at Oberoi Mall in the suburbs and Reliance Digital leasing
space at Viva City Mall in Thane. Meanwhile, Viva City Mall
commenced operation in the month with healthy pre-commitment
levels. It houses high-profile tenants from all the retail categories.
Rents and capital values in the submarkets, such as the Prime
North and the suburbs, increased marginally.
In June, the residential sector in Mumbai witnessed
sluggish demand primarily because of significant
increase in prices. Hence, most of the projects that
were launched during the month saw smaller
configurations to improve the offtake in sales. New launches
included Acme Boulevard in Andheri by Acme Group, Bougainvillea
in Kalina and Happy Homes in Vile Parle by Richa Realtors. Rents
continued to remain stagnant during the month. In addition, capital
values remained stable as the sales activity witnessed a slowdown
with the start of the monsoon season.

The office leasing activity in Pune increased in June,
decreasing the vacancy levels marginally. Major
transactions over the month included LSI Logic
leasing space in Yerwada, Bajaj Finance renting
space in Viman Nagar and Amdocs taking up space in Hadapsar.
The IITP Phase I located in Hinjewadi is likely to be operational in
the next twothree months with good pre-commitments. Rents and
capital values rose marginally in select submarkets, such as Kharadi
and Hadapsar, both of which witnessed very low vacancy in most of
the buildings. However, both rents and capital values remained
unchanged in other parts of the city.
Leasing activity continued to be sluggish in the malls
in Pune. The citys organised retail stock also
remained unchanged on the back of absence of new
completions. Rents and capital values both were
stable during the month of June. It is noteworthy to mention,
Season's Mall in Hadapsar and Prime Mall in Pimpri would likely to
be operational by 2H13.
Demand for residential units in Pune continued to be
stable in June. Major launches during the month
included Kumar Pinakin by KUL Group in Baner and
Ayaan by Gandhi Bafna Constructions in Wagholi.
Rents and capital values both remained stable during the month of
June.
