Dewan Housing Finance gets $85 million from IFC for housing green mortgages

Dewan Housing Finance gets $85 million from IFC for housing green mortgages


MUMBAI: World Bank group company IFC said it will extend $85 million in loan to Dewan Housing Finance for affordable and energy-efficient housing.

Of the total loan, given with the support of Canada government, IFC will provide $70 million through external commercial borrowing, a press release issued said, adding that the remaining USD 15 million will come from the IFC-Canada climate change programme to financing green mortgages.

The green loan to Dewan will reduce 6,200 tonne carbon emissions per year, the release claimed.

“By demonstrating the benefit of green homes, the project is expected to help home buyers in low and middle income segments buy affordable energy-efficient homes,” Serge Devieux, IFC director for South Asia said in the release.

Commenting on the development, Dewan Housing Chairman and Managing Director Kapil Wadhawan said the investment will demonstrate the viability of offering housing finance to low and middle income clients.

IFC, in 2003 also provided a loan of around $12.5 million to Dewan Housing Finance. IFC also co-invested in Aadhar Housing Finance, a company jointly promoted by DHFL Group and IFC, which provides affordable home loans to low income borrowers.

Dont take up Lucknow Metro project: Govt to DMRC

Dont take up Lucknow Metro project: Govt to DMRC


New Delhi: Delhi government does not want Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) to take up any work for Metro network in Lucknow. The city government has cautioned DMRC from taking up any interim consultancy work, which may cause embarrassment to the organization at a later stage.

Sources said Delhi chief secretary Deepak Mohan Spolia wrote a letter to the DMRC managing director last week suggesting the agency not to make a commitment to the UP government. The issue was also raised in the DMRC board meeting last week.

This will have direct impact on the timeframe that UP government has proposed for completion of the first phase of 24 km in the city. The delay to get even an interim consultant will mean the projects deadline will get extended, said a government official.

UP government has approved the first phase of the Metro project estimated at Rs 8,000 crore. The north-south corridor would connect Lucknow Airport to Munshi Pulia. The first phase of the project is set to be complete by 2016-17.

Though DMRC officials confirmed receiving the Delhi government letter, they refused to comment. Spolia could not be reached.

This is the second time Delhi government has opposed DMRC taking up work in UP. Earlier, the government had objected to DMRCs role in extension of two Metro corridors in Noida and Ghazaibad claiming that the corporation has too much work.

In her letter to A K Antony, who heads the GoM on mass transit system, Dikshit said maintaining the Delhi Metro is a demanding task and diverting its resources may adversely affect its functioning.

Delhi government has equal say in DMRC, like that of Central government, since the public sector body has 50:50 partnership.

Cidco to float tenders for airport partner

Cidco to float tenders for airport partner


NAVI MUMBAI: The City and Industrial Development Corporation (Cidco) will soon go ahead with its global tendering of request for qualification (RFQ) to appoint a strategic partner for developing the proposed international airport at Panvel.

This move comes after Prime Minister Manmohan Singh okayed the compensation package offered to the villagers and most of them accepted it.

The comprehensive RFQ document involves evaluating the pre-qualification criterion of bidders, followed by request for proposal (RFP) that includes the technical aspects of the airport and those qualifying being asked to make the commercial bid.

The appointment of a strategic partner would be for the four-phase development of the Rs 15,000 crore airport project, with an investment of around Rs 5,000 crore for the first phase. A major chunk,

Close to 50% of the amount will be required for razing down the Ulwe hill to create the runaway and develope the core aeronautical area.

Mohan Ninawe, Cidco PRO, said, “The RFQ document prepared by our principal consultant M/s Louis Berger is ready. It will be submitted to the chief secretary-led project monitoring and implantation committee. After it is finalised, the draft would be forwarded to Union civil aviation ministry for its approval. Then Cidco will go ahead with the tendering process.” Louis Berger has prepared the master plan, detailed project report (DPR) and financial and transaction advisory services, according to a Cidco brochure on the proposed airport.

The project involves 2,268 hectares – 1,160 for core aeronautical area and 1,108 for outside aeronautical area. The planning body has to acquire 671 hectares-292 in the core area for developing the airport and the remaining outside it.

Price jump along Dwarka Expressway

Price jump along Dwarka Expressway


Housing prices have jumped nearly three-fold on Dwarka Expressway in Gurgaon during the past five years to ~7,000 per sq ft but the slow pace of constuction of highway and litigation issues have become a major hurdle for growth of this corridor, property consultant DTZ has said.

Property consultant DTZ in its report ‘Investment Hotspots in Delhi NCR’ said that average residential capital value on Dwarka Expressway has risen from ~2,426 per sq ft in 2009 to ~7,000 in 2013.

The 18-km-long Dwarka Expressway, also known as Northern Peripheral Road, is a eight-lane expressway linking Dwarka-Gurgaon. It is being developed by Indiabulls group under public private partnership (PPP).

DTZ said that Dwarka Expressway is one of the latest hotspots for real estate opportunities for home seekers and potential investors. Proximity to the national capital and IGI airport gives Dwarka Expressway an edge over other upcoming real estate destinations such as Dharuhera, Bhiwadi, Yamuna Expressway and Noida-Greater Noida Expressway.

However, the consultant said that “the snail’s pace at which the construction of the expressway is progressing along with litigation issues with respect to land acquisition on a 4 km stretch of the expressway are proving to be major hurdles in the growth of the corridor”.

Prominent developers like BPTP, Puri Construction, Raheja, Mahindra Lifespace, Sobha Developers, Ansal Housing, Assotech, Paras and Ramprastha have launched more than 50 projects on Dwarka Expressway and are at various stages of construction. These projects range from mid end to premium segment.

“Between 2009 and 2013, the location has witnessed the second highest number of project launches, after new sectors in Gurgaon (in terms of number of units). Approximately 18,000 residential units have been launched in the last five years across 44 projects ranging from mid to premium category,” it said.

Dwarka Expressway is expected to receive second highest number of housing units (about 24,160) between 2013 and 2018.

With approval of Land Pooling policy by Delhi Development Authority (DDA), which has unlocked substantial land for both housing and commercial use in Delhi, the consultant said real estate growth on Dwarka Expressway is expected to take a hit.

“Adding on to the growth inhibitors is the slow pace of construction of the expressway and the litigation issues. In order to realise the envisaged potential of this corridor, it is essential for government to expedite the infrastructural development which currently is at a nascent stage,” DTZ said. — PTI

Real Estate Round Up – November 05 to 08, 2013

 Real Estate Round Up – November 05 to 08, 2013

 According to Cushman & Wakefield’s latest retail reports, the overall vacancy levels in malls declined by 0.6 percentage to 14.51% on account of consistent leasing activities while supply has been only 0.77 msf gets added in Kolkata and Pune . Healthy transaction activity led to reduction in overall mall vacancy of Pune and Kolkata despite the addition of fresh mall space in both the cities. Pune witnessed the opening of a new mall measuring 700.000 sf, while Kolkata witnessed the partial opening of a mall with only anchors and mini-anchor stores operational at 70,000 sf.

Increased leasing activities and lack of infusion of new mall space led to a 1.8 % dip in Bengaluru’s mall vacancy.  Chennai and Ahmedabad witnessed marginal reduction in mall vacancy. Mumbai and NCR however recorded slight increase in vacancy levels due to ongoing churn in various malls.

As per Q2 2013 estimates, 9 malls were expected to be operational by Q3 2013. However, a total of 7 malls, admeasuring 2.62 million square feet (msf) were deferred. Bengaluru and Chennai witnessed deferment of two malls each totalling to 710,000 sf and 461,000 sf respectively. In Bengaluru, one mall got deferred due to construction delays while the other went on hold due to liquidity issues. Out the two malls in Chennai, one got deferred to early next quarter due to delay in construction completion, while the other mall had to be deferred due to lack of sufficient demand from retailers. Pune also saw postponement of 430,000 sf of mall space due to lack of demand from retailers mainly due to locational constraints of the project. Hyderabad witnessed deferment of 425,000 sf mall supply to early Q4 2013 due to construction delays. A mall space of 225,000 sf was deferred in NCR to later quarters because of delays in acquiring necessary regulatory approvals for operation.

IFC, Govt of Canada lend $85mn to Dewan Housing

 IFC, Govt of Canada lend $85mn to Dewan Housing


 IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, will provide a $85 million loan to Dewan Housing Finance to expand finance for affordable and energy-efficient housing in India. The loan is being given with the support of the Government of Canada.

Of the total loan, IFC will provide $70 million through external commercial borrowing. IFC has committed an additional $15 million to finance green mortgages under the IFC-Canada Climate Change Program, made possible thanks to the Government of Canada's instrumental contribution, which made the financing package viable. IFC is the implementing agency for the program. The loan to Dewan, to be used for green mortgages, will reduce 6,200 tons of carbon emissions per year.

“While housing finance is one of the lowest risk asset classes in India, financial institutions have so far shown limited interest in the low income segment,” said Kapil Wadhawan, Chairman and Managing Director, Dewan Housing Finance. “IFC’s investment will demonstrate the viability of offering housing finance to low and middle income clients. IFC's support to Dewan is a recognition of the company's track record in serving this segment."

The housing finance market in India has a huge gap to fill. According to India’s Twelfth Five Year Plan (2012-2017), the housing shortage in the country is estimated at 58.8 million units. Over 90 percent of this demand is from low-income households, especially the under-served segments.

“Promoting housing finance is one of the key priority areas for IFC in India, especially in India's low income states,” said Serge Devieux, IFC Director for South Asia. “By demonstrating the benefit of green homes, the project is expected to help home buyers in low and middle income segments buy affordable energy-efficient homes.”

IFC has a long-term partnership with Dewan Housing over the last decade. In 2003, IFC provided a loan of around $12.5 million to the company. IFC also co-invested in Aadhar Housing Finance, a company jointly promoted by DHFL Group and IFC, which provides affordable home loans to low income borrowers.

Most people not aware of 'GREEN' buildings

Most people not aware of 'GREEN' buildings
Lack of awareness among buyers regarding ‘green’ buildings has given real estate developers in Ahmedabad a leeway to ignore consumers, claims a study done by 150 undergraduate students from the Faculty of Technology, CEPT University. On Saturday, as part of Engineers’ Day celebrations, FoT students undertook a techno-social study that was released by CEPT University Director Bimal Patel. The study was titled, ‘Impact and response of real estate developers and consumers towards green construction in Ahmedabad’.

Four ‘green’ buildings were taken up for the study and students also conducted a field survey of 300 people. The study concluded that 67 per cent people were not aware of ‘green’ buildings.

“Green buildings focus on striking a balance between controlling negative impact on environment and providing a comfortable habitat for occupants, and they are supposed to reduce operational cost of buildings,” said FoT student Parshva Shah.

Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority hikes land acquisition rates




GREATER NOIDA: To appease farmers, the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) has hiked the compensation rate for land acquisition from Rs 1,093 per sqm to Rs 1,186 per sqm. The new rate, however, will be applicable only for land acquired on or after April 1. Officials said the hike has been implemented following farmers’ demands and increase in inflation rate.

The compensation rates for the remaining five districts under the Yamuna Expressway Development Authority have also been hiked by about 8.5%. Land under YEIDA falls in six districts – Gautam Budh Nagar, Aligarh, Bulandshahr, Mathura, Agra and Hathras – and compensation against land acquired in these districts has been hiked to Rs 1,186 per sqm, Rs 733 per sqm, Rs 1,186 per sqm, Rs 693 per sqm, Rs 745 per sqm and Rs 693 per sqm, respectively. The decision to implement the hike was approved by the Authority on Tuesday.

“The compensation offered to farmers in Yamuna Expressway area is the best amongst what is provided by other states. The annuity policy of UP government that provides rehabilitation benefits is also quite lucrative,” an official said.

Realtor’s claim false residents

Realtor’s claim false: residents


The apartment owner association (AOA) of Close North Apartments, Nirvana Country, has refuted their developer Unitech’s claim that the association is not registered.

On Sunday, AOA had decided to take over management of the complex due to alleged lapses in maintenance and security.

Following this, the developer’s spokesperson claimed that the Close North AOA was not registered and that “they have to follow the norms under the Haryana Apartments Ownership Act, 1983 to get maintenance and security of the condominium”.

The developer has misled people, AOA said. The body has documents to prove that the body was registered in 2007.

On March 12 this year, a new registration number was also allotted to AOA under the Haryana Regulation and Registration of the Societies Act, 2012.

Use eco-friendly means to line water bodies, greens urge water resources department



Use eco-friendly means to line water bodies, greens urge water resources department


MARGAO: The measures undertaken by the water resources department (WRD) of providing concrete lining to water bodies have come under the scanner of environmentalists who have demanded eco-friendly measures be adopted as an alternative.

At a meeting of representatives of various village groups and other concerned citizens in Margao recently, the participants pointed out that the use of concrete had destroyed the ecological balance of water bodies throughout the world, “causing great alarm” among environmentalists and the general public.

They took serious note of the fact that in the last twenty years or so, Goa’s river banks, ponds, traditional nullahs and other natural courses for water have been ‘strengthened’ with concrete, supposedly to prevent erosion and, in some cases ‘beautify’ the area.

“Tonnes of concrete continue to be poured into our sensitive water bodies and nullahs every day, choking all forms of life therein, and further polluting our precious water resources,” the participants at the meeting rued.

Environment lovers are of the view that the government should look at more environmentally-conscious ways of restoring water bodies, preserving and enhancing the prevailing environment, and more importantly, creating jobs for local craftsmen using readily available natural material.

“Just recently the department has launched lining of a nullah at a cost of 11 crore. Often tenders are out for huge sums of money. We all know that Goa is a high rainfall region and often there are intense spell of rains. The soil is well drained and hence water immediately percolates in the soil and slowly seeps in the gutters, nullahs and rivers. By concrete lining we are hampering the natural process. Secondly, concrete lining will not help any aquatic flora and fauna thrive which otherwise play an important role in keeping the water clean and unpolluted. Who benefits in this entire exercise is the contractor and maybe someone who gives the contract,” says Sachin Tendulkar, a farmer from Dabhal, near Sanvordem.

Tendulkar suggests the involvement of local farmers to carry out this work using traditional method, knowledge and techniques. “The best method is to use concepts of bio-engineering and line these embankment with laterite and rubble stone so that, over a period of time, the plants and vegetation grow on this embankment and make it strong, provide habitation for crabs, frogs, fishes, turtles, reptiles,” Tendulkar said.

EWS, infrastructure upgrade focus of DDA budget

The Delhi Development Authority passed its budget for the year 2013-14 on Tuesday. The budget concentrates on constructing housing for the economically weaker sections and upgrading infrastructure in the city.

Lieutenant-Governor Tejendra Khanna has asked the land agency to come up with a full monitoring chart giving targets, time lines and date of completion for all projects before its next meeting.

According to the budget, during the year 2013-14, a sum of Rs 3,029.41 crore is expected to be received from disposal of land and Rs 2,847.44 crore from the disposal of houses and shops.

Meanwhile, in the revised budget estimates for 2012-13, only a sum of Rs 715.06 crore will be received from disposal of residential, industrial, institutional and commercial land as against a budget estimate of Rs 2,211.83 crore.

“To meet the demand for residential, commercial and institutional land, development works have been taken up at Rohini, Dwarka, Narela, Jasola, Bakkarwala, Maidangarhi, Kirti Nagar, Paschim Viha and Alaknanda.

Expenditure in revised estimate 2012-13 has been assessed at Rs 2,156.37 crore, against provision of Rs 1,974.53 crore made in budget estimate 2012-13. During the next year in budget estimate 2013-14 a provision of Rs 2,543.05 crore has been made under this head,’’ a DDA official said.

DDA claimed that while at the beginning of the financial year 2012-13, 30,813 houses were in progress and 4,321 houses had already been put up for allotment by the housing wing. Around 4,855 EWS and 24,660 LIG flats were taken up for construction in Dwarka, Narela and Rohini and it is likely that these houses shall be awarded during the year 2013-14.

Four - lane road - cum - metro track may be delayed

JAIPUR: As the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation’s (DMRC) focus shifts to only run the Metro train by the deadline of June 30, the construction of proposed four-lane elevated road-cum-metro track project on Ajmer Road might miss the deadline.

The DMRC is constructing double-storey elevated road and Metro track project for the first time in the country. The construction of elevated road was proposed to ease traffic flow from Ajmer to Jaipur and vice-versa as the scope for widening the roads in the area is less. Similarly, the Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS) project on the route is expected to be 10 months late.

An official explained that on ground, normal traffic will flow; on the first level, four-lane elevated road is being constructed for smooth flow of traffic on the highway to Ajmer; and on second, Metro track will be built.

Sources in the department claimed, “On Ajmer Road it was expected that the train and traffic will be open for public together. However, as the civil construction of Metro corridor is delayed by six months the focus is just to run the train first and elevated road will be constructed afterwards. “He added, “Majority of four-lane elevated track has been completed, it will be operational three months after the train.”

However, a JDA official explained that the BRTS project will take at least 10 months to start after the Jaipur Metro is operational. “The work of dedicated BRTS corridor can only be started in June as both the projects cannot be carried out simultaneously. The work is done at height and possibilities of accidents arise if work is initiated beneath it.”

The length of elevated road towards Ajmer will be 2.95 km and 4.63 km from Ajmer side to Jaipur. The Metro will run from Sodala to Civil Lines on the second level and it will have a length of 1.6 km, explained the official.

The civil construction work of 9.25 km of Jaipur Metro corridor (Mansarovar to Chandpole) remains a challenge for DMRC as it has to complete the entire civil construction by June 2013, the deadline for the project.

Sources in the department claimed that the DMRC now plans to complete the civil construction work of the elevated track from Mansarovar to the railway station. The decision has been taken as the state government is eyeing the Metro project to secure vote in the next state assembly elections.

On the other hand, in another step closer to completion of Jaipur Metro project, the DMRC has applied to the Research Designs and Standards Organisation (RDSO), a research body of the ministry of railways, to carry out inspections (trial runs) of the project in April or May this year.

Mixed reaction to budget from realtors,home buyers

From ‘encouraging’ to ‘could have been better’ to ‘nothing for us’, Thursday’s Union Budget evoked varying responses from home buyers, realtors and builders in Hyderabad.

Since home buying has started picking up in the city after a prolonged lull, builders feel that impetus in form of more relief could have helped. But the provision of an additional deduction of interest of up to Rs.1 lakh for home loans has been welcomed by many. This is offered for first time home loans up to Rs.25 lakh.

“Increasing the deduction from Rs.1.50 lakh to Rs.2.50 lakh is definitely a welcome move. Though not a big amount, it will act as a psychological spur for the middle class aspiring to acquire a home,” opines P. Prem Kumar, president, A.P. Real Estate Developers Association (APREDA).

For the real estate in Hyderabad, even such smaller incentives could add up. Some in the construction industry feel that with property prices being lowest here in the city, this small incremental advantage could come to help them.

Mitesh Surendra Kulkarni, vice-president & business head, Mantri Developers, describes the additional deduction as a positive step. “It will lead to a multiplier effect and I am sure will enthuse prospective buyers,” he says.

The enhanced deduction of interest is also seen as a welcome step by some prospective home buyers. “When applying for home loan, each rupee counts. Today’s announcement of an additional Rs.1 lakh exemption is a good development,” says P. Sai Kumar Goud, a travel agent.

M. Muralidhar Rao, a private employee who is planning to apply for a home loan, shares the sentiment. “I am dreading the financial burden and this additional deduction surely offers some relief to me,” he says.

Bankers on their part feel that the exemption could encourage people to apply for housing loans. “Many people take loans to claim tax exemption and this increased limit could translate into more loan-seekers,” points out a senior executive form a leading private sector bank.

However, there are voices that sound disappointed with the budget. “It could have been much better. I wished for some real incentives for the real estate, but can understand the constraints that the Finance Minister had on his side of the table,” says S. Pochender, CEO of Lanco Hills.

D.S. Prasad, Director, Aparna Constructions, feels that the present offering does help buyers a bit though much more was expected. “The end-user would have been more benefited if the issue of high taxation was addressed,” he quips.

Real estate was given a cold shoulder yet again, argues D. Sreedhar Reddy, immediate past-president, National Association of Realtors-India. “There is nothing for the real estate sector in the budget. It has been neglected and the demand for an industry status has been ignored,” he argues.

For C. Sekhar Reddy, vice-president, Confederation of Real Estate Developers’ Association of India (CREDAI), the budget has been a big letdown. Even the recommendations of Housing Ministry on affordable housing were ignored, he says and adds, “We were expecting a lot, including infrastructure status for affordable housing projects and exemptions in taxation for them. But none has happened”.

Japanese firm ‘Kajima’ to design ‘New Japan’ township for Gujarat

Admiring Japanese punctuality, Gujarat minister for Energy and Tourism Saurabh Patel today said he has worked with many companies that clarity that Japanese firms have is just excellent.

Saurabh Patel gave an example of Maruti Suzuki and said, “other companies discuss for exemptions and benefits from the government even after confirmation of their investment, but Maruti Suzuki once confirmed the site in Gujarat for its car manufacturing plant, never ever said even for once that what the state would offer them in return.”

“Such a level of confidence in the state government can be found only in a Japanese company,” Patel who was Industry minister when Maruti Suzuki took decision to set up plant in Gujarat said in an inaugural function of Jaykrishna Harivallabhdas AMA centre for Indo-Japanese Relations in Ahmedabad on Monday.

Saurabh Patel talked about major projects coming up in Gujarat in partnership with Japan. He said, “today we think big, and therefore we we have this Dholera project which is planned over 900 sq km land. It will be the biggest industrial, residential, entertainment zone where in next twenty years, two million people will be living.”

Minister Patel also talked about Rs 200 crore desalination plant in Dahej with capacity to process 17 million gallon water per day. He also spoke about Delhi-Mumbai corridor and Bechraji township project.

On Bechraji township project he said, “Maruti Suzuki is going to set up a car manufacturing plant in Bechraji. We are planning a Japanese township in cooperation with Japan in Bechraji belt. We have given a map to Japanese company Kajima to suggest a potential area for the development of a New Japan.”

Saurabh Patel showed government’s willingness to promote Japanese language in Gujarat and offered all help from the state government to a new Centre established on Indo-Japanese Relations.

Property tax

To make sure that every piece of property in Ludhiana is mapped and that their owners pay property tax after it is levied from April 1, the Ludhiana Municipal Corporation started physical verification every building in the city on Wednesday. The process is the second step after satellite mapping was completed by Punjab Remote Sensing Centre (PRSC), Punjab Agricultural University, to ensure that not a single building or plot is missed.

The civic body has given the contract for physical verification to PRSC and has given it 60 days to complete the process and obtain required information.

To assess property tax, the city has been divided into eight zones and each zone will have a different unit value depending on the committee headed by DC, which will fix the values.

The remote sensing centre is also allotting unique identification number to each property in the city and once the property comes under ambit of property tax, house tax will be automatically abolished.

P S Ghuman, joint commissioner, talking to Newsline, said, “Remote sensing centre members have already started physical verification on Wednesday from block numbers 26 (Feroze gandhi market, Lajpat Nagar, New Lajpat Nagar and adjoining areas) and 36 (Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar and adjoining areas). Residents are being asked information like name of owner, full address, water ID, how old is building, rent and others and this information will not be used only in process of property tax assessment but also in other new schemes of MC. Physical verification is one of the components of mapping the whole city.”

“Remote sensing is a secret process and MC will get the collective data after every one week of house visits, ” said Ghuman adding that ‘target is to complete process in 60 days’.
