Executive Summary:
In addition to being the second major contributor to the GDP, the Real Estate
sector is also amongst the fastest growing sectors in the Indian economy.
Real Estate as a matter of fact has always been an attractive investment
option and with the additional support of the new rules and regulations by
the government, it has resulted in significant growth in the residential &
commercial Real Estate. The government has always had a major influence
on the Real Estate sentiments of the investor's and now with a stable
government at center; government is hopeful that the lost confidence shall
be revived. The markets of Mumbai, Bangalore and Delhi have seen
increased investments and the good news is that the Indian realty sector has
been one of the most emerging sectors out of all the developing economies.
The year-end saw improvements in the investing patterns in Real Estate in
India both in the residential as well as the commercial Real Estate. With
National and International brands wanting to expand in India, the commercial
and retail Real Estate continues to be a favoured destination for all kinds of
investors. The rising income level of the people and with people of all age
groups investing in Real Estate, the residential sector is also expected to
grow significantly over the next decade. The market is witnessing an
increased demand of luxury housing and overall also one can expect the
market size of Real Estate in India see a significant growth as well as
development.
Indias construction sector is forecast to grow at 7-8 percent each year over
the next decade following the election of a new government, according to a
news report by an international consultancy giant. The country will see
increased economic growth, and the removal of barriers to foreign
investment will spur demand for construction over the coming 12 to 18
months, says PricewaterhouseCoopers India report. The report has been
prepared for The Big 5 Construct India exhibition in September and offers a
snapshot of the US$157 billion Indian construction sector following the May
elections. With a new government having been formed at the Centre, with a
strong mandate to stimulate economic growth, the outlook for the sector
appears positive, it says. An estimated US$1 trillion is being spent on
infrastructure over the five years to 2017 and there is increased investment
in industrial projects by the government. But it is the private housing sector
that the PwC report highlights as a key growth area. It says, Demand for real
estate has been one of the drivers of construction sector growth over the last
10 year. Improvement in economic conditions has the potential to drive
demand for real estate, as housing continues to be a favoured investment
asset among Indian households. The total construction market in India for
FY2014 was US$157 billion, an increase of US$4 billion over FY2013.
Infrastructure accounts for 49 percent, housing and real estate 42 percent
and industrial projects 9 percent.

2015 Outlook:
The Indian market is vigilantly enthusiastic with the new government
proactive approach and business confidence has already started picking up.
Various agencies such as Moody, IMF, World Bank predicted handsome GDP
at 6.3 to 6.4% and forecasted Indian outlook as steadily growing at lower
risk. Although, it is difficult to forecast the real estate market which is highly
sentiment driven in India. In 2015, overall property markets are expected to
continue edge further into recovery. There are several factors that can be
considered as key drivers for the sector in 2015, such as easing pressure of
downside risks for rupee and current account deficit, improving export. In
commercial real estate, REITs will remain the hottest topic. Real estate funds
like Blackstone, Brookfield, Xander and Redfort have already started planning
to launch REITs in India. Also large developers like DLF, Prestige Estates, RMZ
Corp, Embassy, and Phoenix Mills Ltd. are queuing up to tap into the REIT
opportunity. In residential segment while absorption in the luxury segment is
expected to remain under pressure due to high price points, the launches in
the mid-end and low-end segments will continue to have traction at the
introductory prices. What middle income home buyer actual wants is project
with basic amenities with the price point which he can afford. It was
observed that even during the recession time, projects with right price point
witnessed high absorption level. Overall, capital values are expected to
remain stable in most of the market in short to medium term due to ample
stock availability in both primary and secondary markets.

Real Estate Industry Scenario:The real estate sector in India assumed greater prominence with the liberalisation of
the economy, as the consequent increase in business opportunities and labour
migration led to rising demand for commercial and housing space. The growth in
the sector, supported by series of reforms, has not only resulted in significant
residential and commercial real estate, but also complemented the development of
physical and social infrastructure of the country. The liberal economic policies,
aimed at improving private participation, adopted by the Indian Government has
helped in capitalising the strong fundamentals of the India economy which include
young population, rising urbanisation and growing middle-class population. Since
the year 2000, Indian GDP has quadrupled to reach USD 1.8 trillion in 2012 and
expected to become the third largest economy worth USD 6.6 trillion by 2028.
At present, the real estate and construction sectors are playing a crucial role in the
overall development of Indias core infrastructure. The real estate industrys growth
is linked to developments in the retail, hospitality and entertainment (hotels,
resorts, cinema theatres) industries, economic services (hospitals, schools) and
information technology (IT)- enabled services (like call centres) etc and vice versa.
The Indian real estate sector has traditionally been dominated by a number of small
regional players with relatively low levels of expertise and/or financial resources.
Historically, the sector has not benefited from institutional capital; instead, it has
traditionally tapped high net-worth individuals and other informal sources of
financing, which has led to low levels of transparency. This scenario underwent a
change with in line with the sectors growth, and as of today, the real estate
industrys dynamics reflect consumers expectations of higher quality with Indias
increasing integration with the global economy.

The year 2014 has been quite fruitful for the real estate sector in terms of business
sentiment, although the real effect of many of the policies and amendments
announced in 2014 will take effect only in 2015. Starting from Union Budget
FY2014-15, where affordable housing was considered on par with infrastructure, to
relaxation of rigidities in the Land Acquisition and Real Estate Regulatory Bill, Indias
new Prime Minister has been offering the India real estate sector consistent doses of
energy. The winds of change are now blowing more perceptibly. Inflation, including
the house price component, has now been reduced to the lowest level in recallable
history. Property buyers are back in force in most cities as enquiries have
rebounded, and developers are finally reading the writing on the wall more
accurately and coming in with the kind of supply that is relevant to demand. Going
by the recent reports of recruitment agencies, many more jobs will be created in
2015 - especially in the IT/ITeS, manufacturing and services sectors - and the
demand for homes will increase visibly. Also, REITs are hitting the market at long
last, and only a few details need to be sorted out before they get the funding wheels
spinning.
2015 will definitely be a good year for the real estate sector on three
counts:

The threat of inflation has completely submerged, and borrowing rates are
sure to go down from the current levels. This will encourage potential buyers
planning to avail of home loans to finally take the plunge. Also, with property
prices staying stable and good deals being offered by developers in order to
clear their inventory, fence-sitting buyers be further encouraged to press the
buy button.

Economic activity is gradually picking up, and the Central Bank anticipates
GDP growth to reach 6.5% y/y in the next financial year (FY2015-16).
Corporate India has already made it clear that there will be more hiring of
talent to help tackle rising business activity. Put together, this means a rise in
jobs and incomes, which in turn is very favourable for both residential and
commercial real estate.

The market has witnessed a re-orientation and developers are now largely
focusing on affordable homes. This will go a long way, though definitely not all
the way, in bridging the existing wide gap between demand and supply of
affordable homes.

Residential Real Estate:

The residential segment which contributes about 80percent to the real estate sector
is expected to grow significantly over the next few decades. It is estimated that
Indian cities need to develop at least two million houses annually for the growing
population. The actual number could be much higher as it does not include push in
demand from re-development and shrinking size of the households. Further, there
was a housing shortage of about 18.7 million in 2012. Thus, India needs to develop
almost 45-50 million housing units by 2028.
During the year 2014, new launches of residential units saw a consistent fall every
quarter as a consequence of the subdued demand and high prices. While this was
largely the case with high-end projects, the affordable housing segment definitely
began to gain favour. This segment was firmly lodged under the priority schemes of
the government and central bank, and buyers were seen finding comfort in
investing in such projects given the smaller ticket sizes and improving connectivity
in the suburbs of the major cities. In the second half of 2014, many large developers
who in the recent past concentrated on the mid-to-high segment due to better
margins were seen eager to play the volume game and entering into affordable9 | Page

segment projects in the deeper suburbs. This heartening trend began the ground
work on bridging the wedge between demand and supply in our major metropolitan
cities. Since developers are sitting on close to 30 months of unsold inventory in the
mid-to-high-end segment, we also saw an increase in cash flows because of this
new focus.
Completions, Net Absorption & Unsold Inventory Residential:

In 2015, developers will become more earnest about right-sizing and right-pricing
their offerings. Smaller, yet better-designed and more efficient homes will define the
residential real estate market in 2015, and selective corrections in some of the overpriced cities will help bring about faster sales for stagnated supply of larger
configurations. Townships will become more prevalent, and the supply of luxury
homes will moderate to align with the slow demand dynamics for these offerings.

Affordable Housing:
Affordable housing in India refers to housing for the economically weaker section
(EWS) and lower income group (LIG) households. This segment is expected to
account for 85-90 percent of the total residential development (number of housing
units) i.e. about 40-45 million housing units by 2028. Affordable housing in India
ranges from 250-650 Square feet and typically costs between USD 8000-17000 per
unit. Considering an average housing size of 400 square feet, India requires about
15-18 billion square feet of development in this segment.
Affordable housing will clearly be the flavour of the season in 2015. While the ruling
government at the Centre and the Central Bank have clearly spelled out their
intention to push for affordable housing, it is the State governments which will need
to take the implementation initiative. The recently concluded elections have clearly
indicated that better governance, planning and good implementation are factors on
which performance will be evaluated, and affordable housing is an important

yardstick for sure. While affordability will always be a subjective term that assumes
different meanings in different markets of India, every city does have its own
affordability threshold and benchmark. Developers active in each of the primary
cities are now fully aware that they must address the demand for affordable housing
in their cities, and stop focusing excessively on high-end and luxury offerings.

Commercial Real Estate:

The commercial real estate market comprises of office, retail and industrial
segments. It is primarily dependent on growth in services (IT/ITeS and BFSI) and
industrial (logistics, warehouse and manufacturing) sectors of the economy. A
IT/ITeS Sector is the major occupier of office space in India absorbing 52 percent of
the new office space which came up since 2010. According to NASSCOM, the
revenue from IT/ITeS sector is expected to reach USD 300 billion by 2020, a growth
of 177 percent from 2012. The number of employees in IT/ITeS sector is expected to
increase by 2.4 million to reach 5.1 million by 2022. BFSI is the second largest office
space occupier in India occupying about 16 percent of the total office space.
Between 2012 and 2017, the banking sector is expected to experience a CAGR of 20
percent in their deposits, while the insurance sectors may witness a CAGR of 9.5
percent in their premium collection. As per the planning commission, the BFSI

sector workforce is expected to increase by 8.5 million between 2012 and 2020. A
major driver for real estate could be the awarding of new banking licenses by the
Reserve Bank of India. It is expected the awarding of five new banking licenses
would create demand for about 4.5-5 million Sq. ft. of office space in a short term.
Over the past few years until 2014, the supply of office real estate was higher than
demand by 4 to 10 million sq ft. Developer had been too optimistic in their
anticipation of a revival in economic activity. Though office real estate prices failed
to recover from the after-effects of the financial crisis up to late 2014, there is the
beginning of a gradual turnaround. This can be attributed to the fact that
commercial real estate developers began to strategically reduce the incoming
supply to a new-normal level of occupier demand in the range of 27 to 30 million sq.
ft. each year. This helped bring down the vacancy rate to 17% from more than
18.5% just a year ago.
Pan-India New Completions, Absorptions and Vacancy Office:

In 2015, demand will remain in this range, marginally improving from the level seen
in 2014. However, with the rupee weakening to below INR 62/USD at the current
time and Indias GDP growth likely to strengthen further, the positive risk to this
forecast of a sharp uptick in demand cannot be ruled out though. Interestingly,
while office real estate have not recovered fully from the fall in prices post GFC
(unlike residential) there is significant room for upside in the event of a positive
change in business sentiment. In fact, such an improvement was already seen after
the general elections and is already reflecting in year-end office market leases. The
trend of moderate-to-healthy leasing activity will continue in 2015.

Retail Real Estate:

Retailing in India is expected to increase at a CAGR of 8 percent from USD 518
billion in 2012 to USD 957 billion by 2020. The organised retail is expected to
increase from USD 41 billion to USD 191 billion during the same period. On an
average, a large retail set-up generates revenue of about USD 410-430 per Square
feet. Assuming a revenue of USD 450-500 per Square feet for a larger retail store

set-up in India, the total demand for organised retail space by 2020 could possibly
reach 275-300 million square feet.
In 2014, the retail real estate sector was one of the biggest casualties to market
conditions that increasingly favoured the online retail community, with the exclusion
of well-managed and leasehold organised retail malls. Strata-sold, poorly-managed,
badly-located retail properties lost lustre as more retailers chose to avoid them.
2014 also saw a few of these malls either converting into Grade B office space or
reeling under the compounding effect of rising vacancy rates. Vacancy in poorlybuilt and operated malls was as high as 20%, while good quality malls were
relatively better off with about 10% of vacant space. The ecommerce frenzy that
has been taking India by storm over the last two years was at its peak during 2014,
and now poses a serious challenge to physical retailers and mall developers. The
situation is compounded by the absence of adequate regulation on ecommerce in
India currently.
However, a handful of mall developers have risen to this challenge by identifying
key transitions that could help them sail through. The measures they have
undertaken include a revamped tenant mix, adoption of the mixed-use format and
delivering theme-based shopping experiences. These practices are now common in
overseas markets, and Indian retail malls will be seen adapting to them more
rapidly in 2015.

Smart Cities:

Indias is urbanizing at an unprecedented rate, so much that estimates suggest
nearly 600 million of Indians will be living in cities by 2030, up from 290 million as
reported in the 2001 census. With about 30 village dwellers moving every minute
from villages to become city dwellers, not many villages will be left India at the end
of this century. Todays cities face significant challenges increasing populations,
environmental and regulatory requirements, declining tax bases and budgets and
increased costs. Moreover, the cost of Information and Communication Technologies
has plunged making it economical for the government to implement them. Citizens
are increasingly getting instant, anywhere, anytime, personalized access to
information and services via mobile devices and computers. And they increasingly
expect that same kind of access to city services. With increasing urbanization and
the load on rural land, the government has now realized the need for cities that can
cope with the challenges of urban living and also be magnets for investment. The
announcement of 100 smart cities falls in line with this vision. Alongside the
hordes of Indians go the jobs and the money as well: a McKinsey Global Institute
study estimated that cities would generate 70% of the new jobs created by 2030,
produce more than 70% of the Indian gross domestic product and drive a fourfold
increase in per capita incomes across the country.
The cities with ongoing or proposed smart cities include Kochi in Kerala, Ahmedabad
in Gujarat, Aurangabad in Maharashtra, Manesar in Delhi NCR, Khushkera in
Rajasthan, Krishnapatnam in Andhra Pradesh, Ponneri in Tamil Nadu and Tumkur in
Karnataka. Many of these cities will include special investment regions or special
economic zones with modified regulations and tax structures to make it attractive
for foreign investment. This is essential because much of the funding for these
projects will have to come from private developers and from abroad. Gujarat
International Finance Tec-City (GIFT), Ahmedabad, to be developed over 900 acres,
is billed to be one of the country's first smart cities. It will feature remote
management of utilities from a single command center, use of data analytics and
real-time monitoring of services. It will provide high-quality infrastructure to woo
finance and technology firms from places such as Mumbai, Bangalore and Gurgaon.
It will have a special economic zone, an international education zone, integrated
townships, an entertainment zone, hotels, a convention center, an international
techno park, Software Technology Parks of India units, shopping malls, stock
exchanges and service units. Kochi Smart City is another such initiative, albeit

over a smaller area of 100 hectares. It has a special economic zone that
seeks to replicate Dubai's smart city project. Naya Raipur is also being built
as a smart city. There are also plans to build seven smart cities along the
Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor.

Government Policy Initiatives:

Under the Sardar Patel Urban Housing Mission, 30 million houses will be built by
2022, mostly for the economically weaker sections and low-income groups, through
public-private- partnership, interest subsidy and increased flow of resources to
housing sector. The Government of India along with the governments of the
respective states have taken several initiatives to encourage the development in
the sector. Some of them are as follows:

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has notified final
regulations that will govern real estate investment trusts (REITs) and
infrastructure investment trusts (InvITs). This move will enable easier access
to funds for cash-strapped developers and create a new investment avenue
for institutions and high net worth individuals, and eventually ordinary
investors.

The Telangana Real Estate Developers Association (Treda) plans to host the
Fifth Treda Property Show 2014 at Hitex Centre, Hyderabad. The show will be
open to a mix of the populace, including prospective property purchasers,
investors, architects and others.

The State Government of Kerala has decided to make the process of securing
permits from local bodies for construction of houses smoother, as it plans to
make the process online with the launch of software called Sanketham. This
will ensure a more standardised procedure, more transparency, and less
corruption and bribery.

The Government of India has proposed to release the Real Estate

(Development and Regulation) Bill which aims to protect consumer interest
and introduce standardisation in business practices and transactions in the
sector. The bill will also enable domestic and foreign investment flow into the
sector.

As the Indian economy grows, the real estate sector keeps benefiting. With
the increase in foreign tourist arrivals (ETA) every year, there is demand for
real estate in the tourism and hospitality sector. Also, with the entry of major
private players in the education sector, the major cities, that is Hyderabad,
Bangalore, Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Chennai and Kolkata are likely to account
for 70 per cent of total demand for real estate in the education sector.
Demand for improved healthcare facilities is also expected to provide a boost
to the construction sector in the country.

The Indian real estate sector has witnessed high growth in recent times with the rise
in demand for office as well as residential spaces. Some of the major investments in
this sector are as follows:

Assotech Realty has tied up with Lemon Tree Hotels to manage and operate
its serviced residences. The first project, 210 apartments under the branding
of Sandal Suites, will be launched in Noida in 2015. The companies will
launch 8-10 similar projects in a phased manner over the next seven years
with an investment of Rs 8000-9000 million (US$ 129- 145 million)
approximately.

Blackstone Group LP is all set to become the largest owner of commercial

office real estate in India after a three-year acquisition drive in which it spent
US$ 900 million to buy prime assets. Blackstone has acquired 29 million sq ft
of office space in cities such as Bangalore, Pune, Mumbai, and Noida on the
outskirts of New Delhi.

L&T Infra Finance Private Equity (PE) plans to raise Rs 37,500 million (US$
607 million) in an overseas and a domestic fund, and launch a real estate
fund.

IDFC Alternatives Ltd has sold two of its real estate investments to PE firm
Blackstone Group LP. The assets - a special economic zone (SEZ) in Pune and
an information technology (IT) park in Noida - were sold for a combined
enterprise value of Rs 11, 000 million (US$ 178 million).

Goldman Sachs plans to invest Rs 12,000 million (US$ 194 million) to build a
new campus in Bangalore that can accommodate 9,000 people. The new
campus is being developed in collaboration with Kalyani Developers on the
Sarajapur Outer Ring Road, Bangalore.

Snap deal has entered into a strategic partnership with Tata Value Homes to
sell the latters apartments on its e-commerce platform, which marks the first
time that an e-commerce company has tied up with a real estate venture.

Real Estate Capital Markets:

2014 saw gradual growth in demand for Indian real estate, particularly after the
general elections in May. Concurrently, fund raising activities picked up, and this
momentum will continue in 2015 as well. In coming months one can see less of
one-way investments and more of partnerships between investors and developers
and other land owners. Joint venture and club funding will become the preferred
mode as 2015 progresses. With the improvement of the economic situation, Pune,
Chennai, Hyderabad and Kolkata will start attracting sizeable investments along
16 | P a g e

ABC PVT. LTD.

with the top three metros of Mumbai, NCR and Bangalore. This will be a notable
change from dynamics seen in the past, wherein only these three cities ruled the
roost. In fact, Grade A commercial properties in tier 2 and tier 3 cities appear on
the radar of investors, though a full-on focus on these opportunities will probably
not take place in 2015.
Attractively-placed office assets and high-demand residential categories,
especially well-located mid-income projects, will continue seeing considerable
investments in 2015.While investors may continue to show limited interest in retail
real estate, one can see increased interest in the hospitality sector as compared to
previous year. REITs got a green signal from the government in 2014, and this will
help ease the pressure on the balance sheets of cash-starved developers.
However, the listing of new REITs will be slow and steady. While REITs will succeed
over the longer term, they need to pass through the challenging phase ahead for
them over the next two years.

Real Estate Regulation:

Indian real estate will continue to faces a fair share of problems in regulatory front
in the year 2015.There are currently still a number of vital regulations and initiatives
related to real estate that have been gathering dust on bureaucratic tables. These
need to be fast-tracked and implemented in 2015, because they are crucial for the
real estate sector's growth and graduation from opaqueness to transparency. While
many believe that there is little done by the currently ruling government for the real
estate sector, there is a positive sentiment underway owing to small but significant
steps taken in the right direction by the new government.
In the recent past, two landmark policies that were introduced by the central
government were the Land Acquisition, Redevelopment and Rehabilitation (LARR)
Bill and the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA - yet to be ratified). However,
after almost a year of these two bills being introduced, there has not been much
progress. This is largely due to tough clauses included in both these bills, which
were actively debated throughout 2014. Some of those clauses were seen as
limiting the ability of the industry to function smoothly. The newly-elected
government has astutely identified the limiting factors within the two bills and
attempted to rectify them rather than introduce new regulations that would merely
add to the burden of lip-service reforms. In that sense, the present government
has done its homework before taking up the task of resolving issues of the real
estate sector.
Once finalised, the revised bills will appear more investor-friendly and create a
favourable environment for developers, buyers, and investors to operate in 2015 as
the key changes mooted in the two bills are:
17 | P a g e

INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

ABC PVT. LTD.

- Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act (LARR):
The LARR (Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement) Act was formulated
and re-formulated to counter land-related bureaucracy in India. On the ground, it
has actually done quite the opposite ad become a deterrent for developers as well
as investors to operate in the Indian real estate and infrastructure space. The real
estate sector is desperate to get past this hurdle. It is not just a question of making
land available for primary real estate development; the government has correctly
identified infrastructure development as they key to accelerated economic growth,
and infrastructure is highly land-centric. The modified LARR Act which was put into
effect last year by the UPA government attempted to reduce the bureaucracy
involved. However, it failed to achieve this purpose and in fact only increased the
existing complexities. Given the new government's sharp focus on 'housing for all',
fast-tracking of infrastructure and the creation of 100 smart cities across the
country, there is very clearly a pressing need to revisit this Act in 2015. Provisions in
the bill such as the significant rise in compensation to original inhabitants, the
tedious rehabilitation clauses and other norms need to be relaxed if it is to serve its
purpose of untangling complexities and delivering a fair shake to all stakeholders.
- Real Estate Regulatory Bill (RERA):
The still-pending Real Estate Regulatory Bill has been hotly contested at every
stage, and its approval has been deferred once again only recently. There is no
doubt that it must be enacted sooner rather than later so that the Indian real estate
market becomes attractive for foreign investors. However, no version of this Bill that
has evolved from the various objections and arguments from the industry's
stakeholders has been universally acceptable so far. It will require a strong and
determined government to push it through.
Three recent revisions to the RERA could conceivably lead to its unilateral
acceptance and consequent ratification in 2015:
Reduction of minimum balance to be maintained in the escrow account of a
project has been reduced from 70% to 50%: This amount was from the monies
collected from the buyers. This will effectively allow developers to continue their
practice of diverting funds collected for a project towards land acquisition or
other projects, and will work in their favour by also allowing them to grow their
land and/or project portfolio. The 50% mandate will still place enough restriction
on developers to divert funds elsewhere and ensure better completion records.
(However, for buyers, the concerns regarding funds diversion would be higher,
and the Bill would be slightly less protectionist towards buyers.)
Coverage expanded to the commercial real estate sector: While the previous
version of the bill envisaged coverage of only residential sector, the new
government wants commercial real estate to also fall under the ambit of the
regulatory authority and its clauses. The limited coverage was largely without
any purpose and, therefore, it currently stands rectified. Commercial projects

under the purview of the bill would provide protection to investors of
commercial assets, as well.
All projects which have not received their completion certificates will also be
now covered under the bill and hence this allows larger umbrella coverage for
buyers and investors.

NOIDA New Okhla Industrial Development Authority
With a lots of open space and green landscapes, Noida has witnessed a very good
and planned development in past 10 years and is now recognized one of the few
cities which has put themselves way ahead on the planned development map of
India. With clear differentiation of boundaries of residential and commercial sectors,
Noida has far more planned urban infrastructure compared to other real estate
destinations in NCR. A huge range of affordable housing projects launched by
several developers has presented lots of options for both middle and lower middle
class. The future prospects of the city are also expected to provide good
opportunities to the investors and housing options to all segment of people. The
presence of world class infrastructure, transport facilities, shopping and
entertainment hubs, commercial sector and other lifestyle facilities in and around
the city are its main attractions for the property investors and end users. Depending
upon the size, location and facilities, the average rates of property in Noida ranges
between Rs. 4,200 -5,000 per square foot and onwards. Noida Urban Development
Authority is continuously putting its efforts for more planned and improved
infrastructure & real estate developments in the city in line with the revised master
plan. There is a plan to build and develop international standard infrastructure like
75 Meter and 150 Meter wide roads, flyovers, underpasses, roundabouts on
expressways, sewer-treatment plants (STP), a new 400 MW power grid, Ganga water
supply and other infrastructure in the 2021 master plan of the city. The NOIDA
authority is also working to extend the Metro connectivity to other parts of the NCR.
The recently approved Greater Noida to Yamuna Expressway City Metro connectivity
has also added a new feat.
The sectors from 124 to 144 along Noida-Greater Noida Expressway are the most
sought after locations in Noida city today. The micro-market of these sectors is a
good mix of commercial, residential, hospitality, education, healthcare and
forthcoming retail projects. Because of the shorter travel distance from New Delhi
and Faridabad, Noida-Greater Noida Expressway has emerged as the next go-to
location for office space. According to the experts, the better approach of
development, negligible traffic congestion and better quality of construction have
been the main reasons why this is the most preferred area. With a great scope for
strong and sustained growth for all segments of the realty, a number of premium
housing projects including villas in Sectors 32, 44, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 94, 119, 137,
143, 142 has also attracted buyers. All the premium projects in these projects offers
all lifestyle facilities, lots of green and open landscape area and other facilities for
the improved & modern lifestyle.
According to provisions in the new revised master plan, the Metro rail extension can
lead it to other areas and an expressway will be developed to connect Noida and
Greater Noida. A 28 km-long track connecting Sector 32 via Sectors 50 and 71 will

be constructed between Noida and Greater Noida, which will be further extended up
to Yamuna Expressway. The provision to develop and improved the basic
infrastructure has also been included in the master plan. The basic infrastructure
includes adequate supply of water, power, and sewage, a road network of over
20km, a 126MW captive power generator, and sewage treatment plants with
aggregate capacity of 30,000 kiloliters per day.
Only 30% of the total development on Noida Expressway and Yamuna Expressway
will be saleable while rest 70% will comprise of open and green landscape area. 40
educational institutes and a variety of retail shopping facilities have also been
allocated space along with the expressway. The demand for residential units along
the Expressway is continuously rising owing to the superb developments and quality
of lifestyle facilities. More than 50% increase in the average capital value have been
registered in last 5 years in the residential projects along with the Noida-Greater
Noida expressway. It has reached from Rs 3,500 per sq ft in 2009 to Rs 5,200 in
2013. All kind of projects from affordable to mid-segment to luxurious housing with
latest technology and world class facilities have been launched along the stretch
because of world class infrastructure and superior transport facilities.
Education, healthcare and hospitality sector has also grown in the city as a natural
demand after rise in the residential developments and possessions. Several reputed
schools like Ryan International, Mayoor School, Jaypee Public School, Delhi Public
School, Somerville International School, Genesis Global School, Lotus Valley
International, The Shriram Millennium School, JBM Global School, and colleges have
been established in this area. Several hospital chains are also planning to extend
their business in the area. Popular hospitality brands like Westin Resort, Grand
Hyatt, Marriott and The Lalit Grand have also planned projects along the
expressway.
Noida is the well-planned city with better future prospects of infrastructure
development, hence is the most recommended in the whole North India for real
estate Investment. The availability of hundreds of affordable and mid-end
residential options with world-class social as well as physical infrastructure, city has
been presenting immense opportunities to the end users. The rewarding in the long
term investment in Noida real estate is among the highest in the country. But to get
real high returns from real estate, one must invest in the right areas and should
remain invested for a longer period.

Gurgaon Vs. Noida:Noida and Gurgaon are both the modern cities of India and has witnessed a lot of
infrastructure developments in last 10 years. Both the cities are in fact competitors of
each other when it comes to developing new infrastructure such as skyscrapers, metro
rail, transport facilities, entertainment and shopping facilities and few other things.
Hence, it sometimes becomes difficult to choose one of these cities for investment or
living purpose. But to ultimately decide which city is better of two, we will explore some
key differences. Despite being so many similarities, there are lots of differences too in
terms of environment, facilities and most importantly real estate market of Noida and
Gurgaon.

Preferred Destination:
While Noida is witnessing to be a home to a large number of Indian and international IT
and manufacturing companies, Gurgaon on the other hand has become the preferred
destinations for at least half the Fortune 500 companies by October 2013. Noida is a
major hub for multinational Indian and foreign IT outsourcing firms such as Sapient,
Fiserv, Headstrong, HCL, Tech Mahindra, Adobe Systems, AON Hewitt, Fujitsu, CSC, TCS,

Ericsson, Dell, Sparta Consulting, EXL Service, First Flight Courier LTD, Students-Leads,
IBM, Miracle, WIPRO, Patni Computers, Corbus, Accenture, Samsung etc. Indias biggest
energy and power utilities companies including Reliance Infrastructure, NTPC Limited,
Tata Power, Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited, Oil India Limited, Gas Authority of India
Limited, Indian Oil Corporation, Samsung Engineering, BGR Energy Systems Ltd have
their corporate offices in Noida.
On the other hand while many of the IT companies which have offices in Noida also
running their operations in Gurgaon. Maurti Suzuki Private Limited was the first
company that set up a manufacturing unit in the city in 1970s making cars. General
Electric was the first American Brand that entered Gurgaon in 1997 and is regarded as
the first foreign company in India that was established for outsourcing software work.
Coca-Cola, Pepsi, IBM, American Express, Agilent Technologies, Microsoft, and Bank of
America are a few to name fortune 500 companies who have chosen Gurgaon to be
their Indian corporate headquarters.

Infrastructure Developments:
Both cities have witnessed a tremendous growth in both residential and commercial
infrastructure and demand has almost never beaten the supply except few delays due
to Noida Extension land dispute which is yet to be resolved. Gurgaon has been home to
as many as 1100 residential skyscrapers with modern planning. But most of the
Gurgaon lacks proper urban infrastructure with broken roads and streets that often
leads to traffic jams. On the other hand Noida Infrastructure has been planned in a
better way and offering wide roads, better water treatment facilities, better public
transport and most importantly the basic residential facilities in sectors.
Noida follows a better approach to town management. The suburb has well laid-out
residential and commercial sectors with wide roads, flyovers and under-passes and
plenty of local shopping complexes in each sector. Film City in Noida is the home to
Indias top media companies including Aaj Tak, NDTV, IBN, Zee and more because of its
easy and quick connectivity with the Political capital of India, New Delhi. However
Gurgaon too is located to close proximity to New Delhi but does not offer that much
ease of connectivity.

Residential, Shopping, Entertainment, Health and Education

Facilities:
When it comes to comparing the two cities in terms of what they offer to their residents,
both almost scores equal. Where on one hand Greater Noida has been producing much
more residential units, Gurgaon is also expanding the residential offering along the NH8
towards Bhiwadi and Badshahpur towards Sohna. However the difference in cost of
living in both cities is huge, Noida offers an average 3500-4500 per square foot while
cost of residential property in Gurgaon starts somewhere from 7000-8000. Almost every

residential sector in Noida is equipped with well-maintained parks and kids play areas
while the key parks in Gurgaon are the Leisure Valley Park in Sector 29, Tau Devi Lal
Biodiversity Botanical Garden in Sector 52, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Park in Sector
14 and Tau Devi Lal park in Sector 23. However, most of the parks in Gurgaon are small
and ill-maintained.
There are as many as 26 different size shopping and entertainment malls in Gurgaon
while One of Indias biggest Great India Place resides in Noida. Other that this some
major shopping and entertainment destinations in Noida includes Garden Galleria, The
Mall of India (Under Construction), Centrestage Mall, The Spice World Mall, Shopprix
Mall, Sab Mall and Atta Market, Sector 18.
Leading health care provider institutes in Gurgaon include Fortis Hospital, Medanta and
Max Hospital. Gurgaon has become an increasingly popular destination for medical
tourism. Noida too is not behind, it has health care facilities from Fortis, Max healthcare,
Kailash, Apollo and more.
Noida is definitely ahead of Gurgaon when it comes to education facilities. The presence
of UP Technical University, Amity University, MTU and many high rated technical and BSchools in Noida makes it an education hub. Gurgaon has also attracted many
educational institutions but most of them are either into offering the post academic
training courses or just are not of that scale/reputation except IMT.

Transport and Connectivity:

Gurgaon is connected to Delhi via NH8 and through Mahrauli. Faridabad has
connectivity with Gurgaon via Aravali. Gurgaon is served by Indira Gandhi International
Airport, though the airport is just outside the city limits and located within the
jurisdiction of Delhi near National Highway 8.
Through Delhi Metro, Noida is now connected to Connaught Place, New Delhi, via
Barakhambha Road, IP Estate and Akshardham Complex. DND flyover and Kalindi Kunj
are two major connectivity mediums between Delhi and Noida. Metro will be further
expanded in the city and will go to Greater Noida. Recently, two new extension of Noida
Metro has been approved up to Sector 62, Noida from Noida City Center and up to
Jasola in New Delhi from Botanical Garden, Noida. An extension from Greater Noida to
Yamuna Expressway City has also been approved by the authorities.
The Delhi eastern peripheral Road, Upper Ganga Canal Expressway and the Ganga
Expressway are the three proposed expressways which will be passing the city.

Greater Noida which has successfully hosted Indias first F1 on state of the art Buddh
International Circuit F1 track developed and maintained by Jaypee Group have
connectivity with 2 expressways, one in Noida-Greater Noida expressway and another is
Yamuna expressway which connects it to Agra via Mathura. The future looks great for
Greater Noida, while nothing is new about New Gurgaon. Noida, which supplied less
than one third the properties as Gurgaon till 2007, now supplies six times more
properties than its competitor.
