The RBI’s decision to hike key rates - lending (repo) and borrowing (reverse repo) rates by 50 basis points to 7.25 percent and 6.25 percent respectively - will also raise the cost of home, auto and other loans. This is expected to slow down the off-take of homes by buyers who might want to take some more time before going ahead with their purchase. Inflation management by RBI coupled with tight liquidity situation has put a squeeze on bank credit to the real estate sector. Banks have tightened lending to real estate companies fearing possible defaults on repayments and increased risks perception of developers amongst lenders. Commercial banks have not only doubled the collateral requirements for real estate companies but also charge higher interest from these companies to protect their loans. Lenders are asking for security or collateral of at least 300 percent — up from 150-200 percent until recently — while lending to even top notch realty companies. In addition, the real estate companies seeking bank finance are able to borrow funds at a hefty 15 percent plus. The long term outlook for the real estate sector in Chennai is positive. The recent rate hike might only be a bump on the ride to prosperity. With the growth in the real estate prices staying well above the inflation levels, it still makes sense to go ahead with their purchase as the prices are only going up as cost of land and construction inputs have moved up in the last 2 quarters.

Dear Patron,

In this edition of ‘PropWatch’, we analyze the overall dynamics of Chennai’s real estate market. Long considered slow and steady, Chennai is now definitely on the same path as other metros like Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore, where speculators and investors take up positions early into the project hoping to get good returns over the time the project gets completed.

Forthcoming EvEnts

‘Pure Rooms’ Latest Luxury Innovation In The Hospitality Sector

With luxury hospitality chains competing to offer intangibles like the

best sleep in town and the purest air to breathe, a ‘pure room’ is one of the latest innovations to be marketed — as one enabling guests to sleep better and breathe fresher, by keeping allergens at bay!

A fairly recent concept, it is quite the rage across many hotel chains internationally. In India, ITC Maurya was the first chain to get the American patented technology — Pure —into the country. To begin, 76 of its 440 rooms in the New Delhi property are ‘Pure’, involving a six-step

intricate procedure from disinfecting the air handling unit to high-ozone ‘shock treatment’, ionization of bacteria and allergy-unfriendly bed encasements .

The group quietly introduced the pure technology about a month earlier. A business traveler from Chennai is also said to have decided to install the six regulator-approved electronic air purifiers at his residence after

experiencing it in the hotel.

The chain has plans of a phased expansion of the ‘Pure’ rooms across the hotel and to other cities. At present, all premium rooms of ITC One, have the facility. Though there’s no extra charge for the Pure rooms as of now, ITC plans to charge an additional charge of Rs.1000 – R 2000 for Pure rooms, it is learnt. It costs an additional Rs.50000 – 60000 to install certified electronic air purifiers to making it ‘Pure’. With an estimated 25 per cent of the population suffering from allergy or asthma, hotels around the world have found good reason to go for the technology.

TATA HOUSING TO INVEST Rs. 1,000 CRORE TO BUY LAND

The real estate arm of Tata group is looking to buy land, instead of signing so-called joint development deals with landowners, in a bid to enter new property markets. Tata Housing Development Co. Ltd, a pioneer in low-cost housing, plans to spend Rs 1,000 crore to buy land for new projects, ranging from houses worth Rs 10 lakh to multi-crore luxury residences. The developer has around 45 million sq. ft under various stages of construction. It wants to add another 20 million sq. ft by 2012-13. The company has already bought two land parcels in Bangalore, one for developing premium homes and the other for building houses under its Shubh Griha and New Haven brands.

HIRANANDANI SCOUTS FOR 30-ACRE PLOTS IN

FOUR CITIES Hiranandani Constructions, a leading real estate developer in Western India with group firms listed on the London Stock Exchange, is in talks to acquire land in markets such as Delhi, Pune, Chennai, Hyderabad and Nagpur in the near future as it aims to expand beyond its strong hold of western India.

“We are looking for minimum 30 acre plots in each of these locations and preferably near the city. Discussions are on for land acquisitions and the moment we get the right location we will buy the land,” said Surendra Hiranandani, MD of Hiranandani Constructions.
