PREFACE

If the human race wishes to have a prolonged and indefinite period of material prosperity, they have only

got to behave in a peaceful and helpful way toward one another ."

-Winston Churchill.

The heresy of typical Indians has changed the orthodox mindset of building and designing a house to live in it. A

ramification of this is that houses are nowadays counted as a transitory asset. The idea of buying a house that will

last a lifetime has gradually vanished. The buzzword nowadays is 'investment'. Both the policymakers and the stock-

brokers share an united view in this aspect(although moved by different intentions). 'The growth in the real sector is

not unreal' said S.K.Jain, President Global Infocom. In this study we make an attempt to vivisect the real and unreal

components in this eye-catching sector.

THE REAL ESTATE BOOM: A GENUINE EUPHORIA

Indian real sector has seen an unprecedented boom in the last few years. This was ignited and fueled by two mainforces. First, the expanding industrial sector has created a surge in demand for office-buildings and dwellings. The

industrial sector grew at the rate of 10.8 percent in 2006-07 out of which a growth of 11.8 percent was seen by the

manufacturing sector. Second, the liberalization policies of government have decreased the need for permissions and

licenses before taking up mega construction projects. Opening the doors to foreign investments is a further step in

this direction. The government has allowed FDI in the real estate sector since 2002. FDI was deemed necessary in

the view of making the sector more organized and increasing professionalism farmers. The villages adjacent to the

metro cities have experienced sky-rocketing land prices. This has induced farmers to sell their land for good money.

The real estate market in India is yet in a nascent stage and the scope is simply unlimited. It does not resemble a

bubble that will burst. An unhindered growth for the next twenty years is almost sure. This is because the

outsourcing business in India is going in great guns and this entails a huge demand for commercial buildings and

urban housing besides improvement in infrastructure.

According to former Planing Commission Advisor Tarun Das, a price index for the housing market to track price

movement must be incorporated. The government must ensure that there is no shortage of funds. Sebi's (Securities

Exchange Board of India) recent harbinger of permitting real estate mutual funds in both private and public sector

will go a long way in attracting funds from small investors who emphasize on certain return. Another impediment

that can be eased on the discretion of government is the existing tax laws and other complex regulations relating to

multidimensional real estates such as industrial parks and SEZs(Special Economic Zone).

The report is on analyzing the service offered by real estate developers in Bangalore, Karnataka. Real estate industry

is indulged in construction of both residential and commercial projects. Extension of fiscal sops for SEZ upto 2014

has increased the demand for built-to-suit (BTS) and STPI projects. The city employs 528000 people in IT sector

and biotech sector is growing at an average of 35% annually employing 26,000 people. Other sector which is

increasing demand for commercial buildings are banking, financial services, manufacturing and industrial services,

telecom and pharmaceuticals. Rental are stable as of now and developers are revising their quotes. But rental is up

by 2-3% for select landmark buildings and property consultants foresee appreciation. There are different categories

of builders and the analysis is done by comparing two premium level developers - Prestige group and Sobha

Developers.

the largest office absorption recorded in any city. A significant development in the surge in demand for

SEZ premises especially when the fiscal soaps were extended upto the year 2014.The outer ring road,

which houses a number of SEZs, may witness supply level of 1.2 million sq ft by next year. Additionalareas are also likely to come up. A number of corpoates are signing for Built-tosuit (BTS) premises who

have long-term plan and keen to shift in SEZ premises. As of now, SEZ premises are possible on Outer

Ring road, Whitefield, Mysore raod and North Bangalore due to availability of large land parcels.

Another trend is the growing preference for LEED rated green buildings due to inherent cost and

operational advantages for occupiers in the long run.

y RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS-

which affects the demand for residential projects construction in the city.

SOBHA DEVELOPERS

SOBHA spearheading a revolution in Real Estate in India

y Over a decade of quality focused best practices for building world class products have helped us enhance quality of life

and delight customers.

y Over a decade of engineering excellence and unique initiative towards Backward Integration that has helped us control

costs, and deliver on time, every time.

y Over a decade of passion in every detail of work, at every level, driving continuous innovation; has resulted in making

Sobha a preferred real-estate brand in India.

y Over a decade of rock-solid values, uncompromising business ethos, and transparency in all transactions; have

contributed to our earning the trust of all our stakeholders.

It was in the year 1995 that Mr. P N C Menon founded Sobha developers with the clear vision to " transform the way people

erceive quality" in the real estate industry returned home from the Middle east where he was acclaimed for quality interiors and

construction since 1977. His intuition and business sense buttressed with the exhilaration of returning to his homeland led him to

believe that he could make Quality the key differentiator between his proposed venture and other construction companies.

Today Sobha developers a Rs. 10 billion plus company is one of the largest and only backward integrated company in the

construction arena. Since its inception Sobha's reputation is built on rock solid values, benchmark quality standards,

uncompromising business ethos, focused customer centric approach in all spheres of conducting business, which have

contributed in making Sobha a preferred real estate brand in both residential and commercial segments. This was emphatically

endorsed during its IPO in 2006 when the issue was oversubscribed by 126 times that created history, being the first event of its

kind in Indian capital markets.

In the past 14 years since its inception, Sobha has completed 47 residential projects, 13 commercial projects and 166 contractual

projects covering about 36 million sq. ft. area in 18 cities across India (as of 31 March 2010). The company currently has 21

ongoing residential projects aggregating to 8.5 million sq. ft., while 4.24 million sq. ft. of contractual projects are under various

stages of construction. On an average, Sobha has constantly executed about 6 million sq. ft. of work on an average basis over the

last 5 years. In the current year, which will be the 15th year of establishment, Sobha Developers are inching towards the

execution of the 50th million sq. ft., which will be a landmark in the real estate industry.

Client list includes stalwarts like Infosys Technologies, Hewlett Packard, dell, the Taj Group, Mico, Timken and others.Residential projects include premium apartments, villas and row houses with amenities like club houses, shopping centers and

swimming pools as a value addition to the Sobha lifestyle that the company brings home to all its clients.

CONCLUSION

With home loan interest rates easing out many borrowers are looking out for eminent residential projects. Various

factors like Government regulations in FDI, numerous private players, public- private alliance, new agreements in

real estate industry, rising consumer expectations, easier access to more information, etc have affected the sector.

Different pricing strategies adopted by builders also influence the buyers decision making. During DIWALI season,Brigade group has offered a reduction in price of residential apartments by 5-7%. Capital values for apartments are

up by 10% on the outskirts whereas in city areas it is up by 12%. The rise in prices is attributed to the sudden spurt

in input and labor cost.

Commercial project market is affected by extension in fiscal sops for SEZ up to 2014. A number of corporate are

revising their strategy to ascertain the tax benefits of entering into SEZ premises.
