The year 2015 was an eventful
year for the real estate sector in Mumbai. Many new guidelines were issued by the government for the sector,
which, hopefully, the industry players feel should come into the force in 2016.
One of the major announcements by the government is “Housing for all in 2022”
among the other major initiatives like smart cities, relaxed FDI norms,
affordable housing, State Regulatory Bill, etc. Experts are of the view that
these plans when implemented will propel growth in the realty sector. FDI in
real estate is expected to provide a significant boost to the sector in terms
of greater foreign capital inflows. The other projects will now get a boost by
the substantial participation by the foreign investors. This move would create
more job opportunities.
The real estate industry outlook
is looking increasingly positive based on improving macro-economic
fundamentals. There is stable inflationary policy and over the long term this
will continue to benefit asset prices; unemployment figures continue their downward
trend in most major markets leading to an increase in demand for real estate.
Furthermore, commodity prices that affect consumers and the real estate market
are lower relative to recent years and look unlikely to rise significantly in
the foreseeable future.
The government has initiated a
number of policies which when implemented should hopefully see the sector come
out of its slumber and attract huge investments into the sector going forward.
If the development plan 2034 is passed this year, it could well be a game
changer for the Mumbai real estate market. The city is in dire need for a realistic plan. It would be a roadmap
for the city’s growth and development. Apart from the above the industry has
been asking government to grant industry status and single window clearance.
Due to these initiatives there
would be faster clearance procedures and quick approvals would largely reduce
the handover time and increase customer satisfaction level. “Housing for all by
2022” scheme, the government along with private developers will have to work in
tandem, based on the PPP model if we are to see maximum number of people housed
within the given time frame. The State Regulatory Bill is another major policy
initiated which will help bring in more transparency into the sector. Also, the
‘Make in India’ and ‘Digital Media’ campaigns launched by the government will
give a tremendous boost to the commerce property space.
The year 2016 is also expected to
see a trend of developers majorly catering to the mid and lowers housing
segments as prices are expected to stabilize given the policies initiated by
government in “Housing all Indians by 2022”. But at the same time, property developers believe that there
will be an increased demand for luxury housing as income levels continue to
rise coupled with high aspirations of home buyers. Developers focus should be
on affordable housing which has potential to give the much needed thrust to the
entire realty sector. Senior citizen housing is also another segment that has
huge potential to develop in our country. We believe that the coming year 2016
will be the year if “Affordable Housing in India” and hopefully should fulfil
the dreams of millions of home buyers across the country.
