Most regions in the top metros have seen prices soar by double digit percentages in the last three years with areas in Mumbai and Delhi-NCR witnessing maximum price gains. In Delhi, Dwarka and Gurgaon regions saw 64% and 50% price rise in 2012 when compared to 2010. In Mumbai, Mira Road, Thane and Navi Mumbai saw prices increase within the range of 48% and 51% during the same time period. These are the findings of 99 acres.com study on the trends in realty prices of key metros.

In Kolkata, North Kolkata race ahead in property prices as compared to other regions in these metros. In other metros, North Bangalore, North Chennai race ahead in property prices as compared to other regions in these metros.

Commenting on the same Vineet Singh, Business head, 99 acres.com said, “The real estate market in metros has always been an attractive destination for buyers because of its high returns on investment. In Mumbai almost 50% of the market is driven by investors. However, Mira Road area in Mumbai is dominated by end consumers because of its affordability factor and hence demand has been on a steady increase. The Dwarka region in Delhi has seen high growth because of development happening around that area and proximity to airport. Gurgaon again for years has been the most preferred destination for both end users, investors and companies. All big corporates have set up their offices in this area because of connectivity to airport and with metro extension connectivity with major parts of Delhi getting better.”

The NCR and Dwarka region of Delhi has seen massive price rise over the last few years. The average per square feet in Dwarka rate stands at Rs. 8910 in 2012 as compared Rs. 5420 in 2010. This indicates a whopping 64% increase in prices. Gurgaon, Noida and Ghaziabad does not lack behind too much with prices appreciating by 50%, 40% and 37% respectively over the same time period. Among the four regions in Delhi, the localities based in West Delhi have seen maximum price gain with the overall region witnessing approximately 47% rise in 2012 over 2010.

Most regions in the Mumbai area also show massive price growth. Mira Road in Mumbai saw maximum price growth with 51% increase over the last three years. Prices in both, Navi Mumbai and Thane area has seen 48% growth over in 2012 when compared to 2010. Plush localities in South and South West Mumbai make these regions the highest priced area in the country. The Per square feet rate stands at approximately Rs. 35000 for South Mumbai and Rs.27000 for south West Mumbai in 2012.

Kolkata has also seen price appreciation over the last three years. However, the prices in the city are much lower than the other top metros in the country. North Kolkata has seen approximately 35% price gains with psqf rates at Rs 3500 in Q2-12. This growth has been due to availability of ample Land combined with infrastructure development in North Kolkata. Extension of metro link in important pockets of northern suburbs has boosted connectivity in this region. The price gains for East Kolkata in 2012 have been around 27% when compared to 2010.

The Southern metros of the country do not lack behind too much. North Bangalore has seen price rise by 48% respectively in 2012 when compared to 2010. This is primarily because areas around Hebbal seem to be developing into a Manhattan of sorts with a wide range of high end projects on offer by reputed developers. South and West Bangalore saw prices appreciate by 27% and 6% respectively, while South Chennai saw stable price levels and West Chennai saw price appreciation by 38% in Q2-12 over Q1-10.

Pointing out that real estate development can revive the sagging economy, developers’ apex body CREDAI has called for launching a mission to make India Housing Surplus from the current status of a housing deficit nation by 2020.

Real Estate supports 250 industries, generates employment and contributes 11% to GDP, CREDAI national President Lalit Kumar Jain said a statement today..

CREDAI also has written an open letter to the Prime Minister and set an 10-point agenda of action for taking the nation on an accelerated growth path while solving the housing problem faced by millions of people across the country.

Pointing out that the economic liberalisation initiated by Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh as the finance Minister in 1990 have not covered the real estate sector, CREDAI called for comprehensive reforms for the sector covering land, administration, banking and tax.

CREDAI reiterated its long standing demand for a Single Window clearance system and pointed out that McKinsey has said in its report to the Government of India that delays in approval processes alone increase sale value of houses by 40%. Delays due to multi clearances/approvals numbering over 40 by various Agencies/Departments of the Government – the average time being 18 months – are the order of the day though most of the Departments have the same series of check lists. This obviously leads to duplication of submission by architects. In fact, the number of building plans sanctioned over the past ten to fifteen months has drastically come down.

The only way forward for a clean and cost effective housing sector is an e-based standardization of single window approval process. CREDAI has submitted a Single Window Act for consideration to Ministry of Housing (HUPA) and Ministry of Urban Development. However, there has been no progress at all, Jain said.

Presenting CREDAI case for close coordination among various government departments, he said the various Central and State Government Departments are issuing directives in isolation. For instance, the Environment Ministry issued Building Approval guidelines authorising its Committees to link the height of a building to its distance from a Fire Station, though the Ministry is neither the technical nor the administrative head of Fire Safety issues! Such arbitrary exercise of power by MoEF has crippled the sector due to approval delays, adding to costs.

“Sir, we developers are entrepreneurs, conducting our business to the best our ability. We too hate the system that labels us as crooks, cheats and breeders of black money. Few people seem to realise that we are victims of the system and not beneficiaries or generators of black money for that matter,” he said in the open letter to PM.

He pointed out that developers are forced to deal with 140 officials at various stages to obtain 40 plus clearances and history is witness to the fact that corruption creeps in wherever there is a human interface. “Files are not cleared unless one greases the palms,” he lamented.

On land reforms, CREDAI said restrictive land use has led to raising the cost of the tenements, killing agriculture land, reducing Green cover and made physical infrastructure costlier. It is high time the policy makers consciously shed their skeptical, narrow views on land use. Andhra Pradesh has set the right trend by removing the concept of FAR leading to stabilization of prices and creating adequate supply.

The current home loans for affordable housing segment with 1% interest incentive is still very costly for many needy people. The interest rates on home loan, especially in affordable category, cannot and should not be more than 7%. Also, the current guidelines by the Reserve Bank are anti-housing industry as the cost of finance is very high that in turn makes housing costlier.
Currently, any purchase of housing unit costs 36% in direct and indirect taxes which include VAT, Service Tax, Excise Duty and Municipal Taxes etc., At this rate, one has to earn 150% of one’s current income to be able to afford a house and end up paying a heavy income tax of 32%!

There is a need to devise a special tax-free affordable housing project scheme. Though there will be seemingly a revenue loss, this will be more than offset by the collection of other indirect taxes, he said.

Delving on slum rehabilitation, CREDAI said as much as 15% of entire population of this country lives in slums. Few urban areas in state like Maharashtra have come up with slum rehabilitation policy. However, these policies fall short of expectations to achieve desired results, mainly because they are impractical. Also, the Rajiv Awas Yojana in its present form cannot achieve desired results. “What we require is slum lord free environment where all the slum-dwellers attaining majority age of 21 get their own rightful homes,” Jain argued.

These issues cannot be resolved by routine administrative remarks on files like “Please attend to” or “for your attention please”. Housing is a State subject. Even at the centre, housing policy making is fractured between two Urban Ministries, and several other Central Ministries which dabble into the matter at their own sweet will without even referring the matter to either of the Urban Ministries.

From the point of accountability, CREDAI suggested that for every building proposal submitted, there should be a mention of Revenue to be generated, Employment opportunity created, contribution to GDP, along with the date of application submission and the date of final approval. In case of delay, those responsible must be punished.

CREDAI said India’s urban population has grown from 290 million in 2001 to 377 million in 2011 which accounts for over 30 percent of the country’s population. The number of cities and towns has also increased from 5,161 in 2001 to 7,935 in 2011 – a 51% growth. The number of 1 million plus cities has grown from 35 in 2001 to 53 in 2011, registering a 45% growth.
By 2031, India will have more than 87 metropolitan areas and the country’s urban population is likely to soar to over 600 million, adding about 225 million people to present urban population.

“If this goes unchecked and unattended, we will have an explosive situation of hundreds of slum colonies everywhere because housing has become unaffordable,” Mr Jain said.

“Sir, we have been trying to seek an appointment with you for long since we cannot hope to achieve anything tangible without your intervention. We have already made several representations to all the concerned ministries but with no positive response,” the open letter said.

“It is in this context that, Prime Minister Sir, we would like to urge upon your honour to pay an immediate attention to the Future Shock scenario and take concrete steps to tackle the crisis,” the letter added.

सेंट्रल ग्राउंड वॉटर बोर्ड की टीम आज पहुंचेगी नोएडा


नोएडा।। नोएडा में पिछले चार साल से ग्राउंड वॉटर को गंदे नाले में बहा रहे बिल्डरों को अब यह भारी पड़ सकता है। ग्राउंड वॉटर के गिरते लेवल के खिलाफ मुहिम चला रहे शहरवासियों की लगातार शिकायतों के बाद सेंट्रल ग्राउंड वॉटर बोर्ड ने अपनी दो सदस्यीय टीम नोएडा भेजने का फैसला किया है। यह टीम गुरुवार सुबह पहुंचेगी और विभिन्न बिल्डर साइटों का दौरा करके वहां पर ग्राउंड वॉटर निकासी के तौर-तरीकों पर अपनी रिपोर्ट तैयार करेगी।

बोर्ड के लखनऊ रीजनल ऑफिस से आने वाली इस टीम में सी-लेवल के साइंटिस्ट और गौतमबुद्घनगर-गाजियाबाद के नोडल ऑफिसर आर.सी. वर्मा और एक अन्य साइंटिस्ट शामिल हैं। टीम सेक्टर-18, 15ए, 44, 91, 94, 74, 121, 38ए, 135 में दौरा करेगी। बोर्ड के रीजनल ऑफिस की ओर से कंप्लेंट करने वाले लोगों को फोन करके टीम के साथ रहने और वॉटर की बर्बादी कर रहे बिल्डरों की लोकेशन दिखाने का आग्रह किया गया है। इस मुद्दे पर लगातार आवाज उठा रहे पर्यावरणविद विक्रांत तोंगड़ के अनुसार, टीम सबसे पहले अपना दौरा सेक्टर-18 से शुरू करेगी। इस दौरान आम लोगों के बयान के साथ ही बिल्डरों से भी उनका पक्ष पूछा जाएगा।

भारतीयों ने लहराया बुर्ज पर परचम


नई दिल्ली।। अमीर भारतीयों की शोहरत अरब देशों में भी फैल रही है। इनका दबदबा बढ़ रहा है। इसकी मिसाल इस बात से मिलती है कि दुनिया की सबसे ऊंची इमारत बुर्ज खलीफा के 900 अपार्टमेंट्स में से करीब 150 पर रईस प्रवासी भारतीयों यानी एनआरआई का मालिकाना हक है। दुबई के प्रॉपर्टी मार्केट में रौनक लौट रही है और यह रईस भारतीयों को 206 स्टोरी वाली इस बिल्डिंग में अपार्टमेंट्स खरीदने के लिए लुभा रही है। साल 2010 में लॉन्च होने के बाद एक साल से भी ज्यादा वक्त तक यह इमारत आधे से ज्यादा खाली रही।

कोच्चि इंटरनेशनल एयरपोर्ट में 14 फीसदी के मालिक एन वी जॉर्ज के इस बिल्डिंग में सात अपार्टमेंट्स हैं। वहीं, शिल्पा शेट्टी और उनके पति राज कुंदरा के अपार्टमेंट्स 90वें और 69वें फ्लोर पर हैं। दक्षिण भारत के मशहूर अभिनेता मोहनलाल ने भी यहां एक अपार्टमेंट खरीद रखा है। एनएमसी हॉस्पिटल और मनी ट्रांसफर फर्म यूएई एक्सचेंज के ओनर डॉक्टर बी आर शेट्टी ने पूरा 100वां फ्लोर ही खरीद रखा है। कॉरपोरेट और क्रिमिनल लायर रोहित कोचर ने हाल में 69वें फ्लोर पर कुंदरा के बगल में एक अपार्टमेंट खरीदा है। हाल में 500 करोड़ रुपए में द लीला होटल्स की कोवलम होटल प्रॉपर्टी खरीदने वाले बिजनेसमैन रवि पिल्लई का भी यहां अपार्टमेंट हैं।

दुबई की एसपीएफ रियल्टी के वाइस प्रेजिडेंट (बिजनेस डेवलपमेंट एंड इनवेस्टमेंट) मनीष खत्री का कहना है, 'जब दुबई में प्रॉपर्टी खरीदने की बात आती है तो अब भी भारतीय नंबर एक पर हैं। वे नियमित रूप से प्रॉपर्टी खरीदते और बेचते हैं। हमें उनकी ओर से कई इंक्वायरीज मिल रही हैं।' मौजूदा समय में इस प्रॉपर्टी फर्म के बिजनेस में भारतीयों की हिस्सेदारी 50 फीसदी से ज्यादा है। दुबई के प्रॉपर्टी ब्रोकर्स का कहना है कि बुर्ज खलीफा लोगों की पसंदीदा है। इसके अलावा भारतीय अरब देशों में कई दूसरी प्रॉपर्टीज भी खरीद रहे हैं।

प्रॉपर्टी एडवायजरी फर्म नाइट फ्रैंक के रीजनल डायरेक्टर (नॉर्थ) मुदस्सर जैदी का कहना है, 'कई लोग इस रीजन में अपना बिजनेस जमाने के लिहाज से प्रॉपर्टी खरीद रहे हैं।' दिल्ली के वकील रोहित कोचर ने उदाहरण के तौर पर अपनी लॉ फर्म कोचर एंड कंपनी का एक ऑफिस दुबई में खोला है। साथ ही उन्होंने बुर्ज खलीफा में एक अपार्टमेंट भी खरीदा है। कोचर का कहना है, 'इस बिल्डिंग में अपार्टमेंट होना एक बड़ा स्टेटस सिंबल है।' वह कहते हैं कि अब उनके पास बुर्ज खलीफा के 123वें फ्लोर पर स्थित एक्सक्लूसिव ओनर लॉन्ज में अपने क्लाइंट और गेस्ट से साथ मीटिंग करने का ऑप्शन भी है। वहीं बुर्ज खलीफा में 7 अपार्टमेंट खरीदने वाले जॉर्ज का कहना है कि यह एक बड़ा निवेश है। वह एक अपार्टमेंट में रहते हैं, जबकि बाकी अपार्टमेंट्स को उन्होंने किराए पर दे रखा है। उनका कहना है, 'इस बिल्डिंग में रेंटल अपार्टमेंट्स की काफी मांग है।'

आवंटन दर पर रजिस्ट्री का प्रस्ताव शासन में अटका


ग्रेटर नोएडा : प्राधिकरण द्वारा आवंटित संपत्तियों की रजिस्ट्री (बैनामा) आवंटन दर पर कराने के प्रस्ताव को शासन से मंजूरी नहीं मिली है। छूट मिलने के इंतजार में मूल आवंटी भूखंडों की रजिस्ट्री कराने के लिए आगे नहीं आ रहे हैं। ग्रेटर नोएडा व यमुना प्राधिकरण में तीन हजार से अधिक संपत्तियों की रजिस्ट्री होना बाकी है। इन संपत्तियों की रजिस्ट्री से प्रदेश सरकार को करीब सवा सौ करोड़ रुपये स्टांप राजस्व के रूप में मिलेंगे।

प्राधिकरण 2008 तक प्रथम आवंटी को संपत्तियों की रजिस्ट्री आवंटन दर पर करता था। बसपा सरकार ने इसमें संशोधन कर नई व्यवस्था लागू कर दी। इसके तहत आवंटन के छह माह के अंदर रजिस्ट्री कराने पर आवंटन दर व उसके बाद डीएम सर्किल रेट पर रजिस्ट्री कराने का प्रावधान किया गया। आवंटन दर व डीएम सर्किल रेटों में दस से बारह गुणा का अंतर होने की वजह से आवंटियों को रजिस्ट्री कराते समय अधिक स्टांप शुल्क देना पड़ता है। बसपा सरकार ने अपने कार्यकाल के अंतिम दिनों में पुराने आवंटियों को 31 मार्च 2012 तक आवंटन दर पर रजिस्ट्री कराने की छूट दी, लेकिन इस दौरान ग्रेटर नोएडा के मास्टर प्लान का मामला एनसीआर प्लानिंग बोर्ड में लंबित होने के कारण आवंटी छूट का लाभ नहीं उठा पाए। प्राधिकरण ने दो माह पहले शासन को एक प्रस्ताव भेजकर छूट को 31 दिसंबर तक बढ़ाने का आग्रह किया था। अधिकारिक सूत्रों के अनुसार, शासन ने अब तक इस पर निर्णय नहीं लिया हे। आवंटी छूट मिलने के इंतजार में भूखंडों की रजिस्ट्री नहीं करा रहे हैं। इससे जिला प्रशासन को स्टांप शुल्क के द्वारा मिलने वाला राजस्व नहीं मिल पा रहा है। अधिकारिक सूत्रों का कहना है कि यदि लंबित संपत्तियों की रजिस्ट्री हो जाए तो जिला प्रशासन को करीब सवा सौ करोड़ रुपये राजस्व के रूप में मिल जाएंगे।

Lucknow allotment State govt had defended its action in the apex court

The 28 persons whose plot allotments in Lucknow’s Gomti Nagar have been defended by the Samajwadi Party government in the Supreme Court include Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav’s father-in-law R C S Rawat, Revenue Minister Ambika Chaudhary’s wife Saroj Chaudhary, Chief Minister’s Secretary Anita Singh, and several IAS and IPS officers.

Interestingly, Ambika Chaudhary was Revenue Minister and Anita Singh was Special Secretary to the Chief Minister even when the allotments were made by the Lucknow Development Authority under the previous SP government, headed by Mulayam Singh Yadav, in 2005.

The list includes some persons about whom nothing is known except their names; they were allotted plots on the recommendation of the Chief Minister’s secretariat. In many cases, allotments were first made in Gomti Nagar Extension and then changed to Vipul Khand, a posh locality.

In an affidavit in the Supreme Court, the government has claimed that all rules and regulations were followed in the allotment of plots to these 28 persons. Also, LDA had allotted 16,358 plots directly between 1992 and 2005, the affidavit says.

The previous Mayawati government had, on the other hand, alleged several irregularities, which included allotment at a rate lower than the prevailing rate, and that the land use was changed from institutional to residential to benefit these people. The allotments have been challenged in a PIL by Vishwanath Chaturvedi, a social activist.

Here is the complete list of allottees:

1. RCS Rawat, father-in-law of Akhilesh Yadav, on the recommendation of the Chief Minister’s secretariat. The 365.50 sq m plot was adjusted against an existing 288 sq m plot in Gomti Nagar Extension.

2. Anita Singh and her husband Subhash Chandra (IPS), 500 sq m plot in Vipul Khand on March 19, 2005.

3. Saroj Chaudhary, wife of Revenue Minister Ambika Chaudhary, 488 sq m plot, on the recommendation of her husband in Vipul Khand, in lieu of her existing plot of 300 sq m in Gomti Nagar Extension.

4. Alia Khatoon, 488 sq m plot on the recommendation of then Samajwadi Party MP Amar Singh. Alia Khatoon gave her another plot in Vipul Khand to Amar Singh on the day LDA registered this plot in her name.

5. Preety Chaudhary, 244 sq m, wife of then District Magistrate of Jaunpur and current District Magistrate of Lucknow Anurag Yadav.

6. Navneet Sikera, 276 sq m, then SSP of Lucknow, allotted against adjustment and transfer of his existing 162 sq m plot in Gomti Nagar Extension.

7. Shivani and Pankaj, 422.25 sq m, on the recommendation of then District Magistrate of Lucknow R N Tiwari. Shivani and Pankaj are daughter and son-in-law of RN Tiwari, the allotment was made against adjustment and transfer of their existing 288 sq m plot in Kanpur Road scheme.

8. Amit and Aruna Mittal, relatives of then Commissioner of Lucknow RK Mittal. They were given the plot in adjustment and transfer of their existing plot of 162 sqm in Gomti Nagar Extension.

9. Onkar Singh, then DIG of Faizabad got 276sq m plot against transfer and adjustment of his exsiting 162 sq m plot in Gomti Nagar Extension.

10. CP Sharma, then Chief Town Planner in the Lucknow Development Authority, which did the allotments. He was alloted this 345 sq m plot against the transfer and adjustment of his existing 162 sqm plot in Gomti Nagar Extension.

11. Mohd Afsar Shabbir Khan, then Chief Town and Country Planner of the state, got 276 sq m plot for himself against the adjustment and transfer of his existing 162 sq m plot in Gomti Nagar Extension.

12. Brijesh Kumar Singh, 356 sq m plot, on the recommendation of then Joint Secretary in Lucknow Development Authority JB Singh. He was given this plot against his existing plot in Gomti Nagar Extension of 162 sq m.

14. Swarndas Bagla, retired IAS officer, 488 sq m plot, by transfer of existing plot from Gomti Nagar Extension.

15. Sarla, 545.95 sq m plot, the largest among all 28 plots, was alloted on the recommendation of then Secretary of Housing JS Mishra.

16. Manisha Chandra, 442 sq m plot, on the recommendation of then Secretary of Lucknow Development Authority Rekha Gupta.

17. S Rastogi, 452.62 sq m plot, on the recommendation of then Vice-Chairman of LDA BB Singh.

18. Kailashi Devi, 244 sq m plot, on the recommendation of then Special Secretary of Housing Ramvriksh Prasad

19. Dulari Devi, 276 sq m plot, on the recommendation of the Chief Minister’s Secretariat.

20. Jogendra Sahay, 276 sq m plot, on the recommendation of then Vice-Chairman of LDA BB Singh.

GREATER NOIDA/GHAZIABAD: Plagued with repeated attacks on senior management officials by disgruntled employees as well as outsiders, the western UP industry body has written to chief minister Akhilesh Yadav seeking his intervention in controlling such attacks. Industrialists have warned that if the current scenario persists, then it may hurt prospects of investment in the state.

The president of Association of Greater Noida Industries (AGNI), Aditya Ghildiyal, told TOI that attacks on the management had become common. HR officials are the most vulnerable as they are in charge of hiring and firing employees. The letter requests the UP chief minister to instill a sense of security among industries with the deployment of a dedicated police force. "We have repeatedly asked the Meerut zone IG and police commissioner to hold a meeting with the industry body on a regular basis, but it appears they have no time for us. Ultimately, it will not only hamper the state's revenue but also of the country," Ghildiyal said.

"The first concern of foreign investors before setting up an industry is a safe and secure environment. No foreign company has set up a base in Greater Noida in the past 12 years due to deteriorating law and order," Ghildiyal said. "Also, the government has failed to learn any lessons after the killing of the CEO of Italian company Graziano, L K Chaudhary," he added.

Ghildiyal said after the Graziano incident, then UP DGP and chief secretary had visited Greater Noida and appointed circle officers for industries, but with time everything vanished. "The attack on senior management officials is bound to sully India's image among overseas investors. The situation has repeatedly been brought to the attention of the authorities, both at central and state level, but without results," said Vipin Malhan of Noida Entrepreneurs' Association.
