Smaller projects can now raise money through FDI boosting affordable housing

affordable housing by government with a focus on “housing for all” facilities.

Слайд 4REITs
Investor perspective on REITs
Investors around the world have recognised real estate
as an asset class that is an essential part of a diversified portfolio.
REITs however are seen as a cost-effective and efficient way to access investment grade real estate in tandem with professional management
According to the draft guidelines, any investor, resident or foreign, can invest in REITs in India. However, initially, until the market develops, it is proposed that the units of the REITs may be offered only to HNIs/institutions.
The minimum capital required to invest in REITs would be Rs 200,000 as according to SEBI, the minimum unit size is Rs 100,000 and one needs to buy atleast two units to invest in REITs
Слайд 5REITs
There are five major reasons why an investor should invest in
REIT
Returns: REITs are required to distribute at least 90 per cent of the net income to the unit holders; thus, they offer an advantage over equity stocks where companies may choose not to pay dividends and hence it’s a more consistent form of return
Diversification: REIT has a low correlation with other asset classes, such as equities and bonds due to the fact that real estate earnings do not behave like corporate earnings.
Low correlation provides a better platform for diversification by reducing the volatility of a multi-asset portfolio.
Investment in REIT gives better diversification within the real estate asset class compared to direct investments that are capital intensive in nature. This provides the exposure to invest in different micro-markets that are indifferent phases of the real estate cycle
Слайд 6REITs
Easy Exits: REITs are publically traded, therefore provide more advantages in
terms of liquidity compared to direct real estate investment. They also have potential for capital gains if the share price of the REIT rises
Transparency: REITs will be registered and regulated by SEBI, and they will adhere to high governance and information disclosure standards
Professionally managed: REITs are professionally managed and have access to a large capital base, which gives investors potential benefits, such as economies of scale, professional market knowledge and access to high value properties
Слайд 7REITs
Proposal on tax pass through status for Real Estate Investment Trusts
(I-REITs) in India.
Currently all assets are funded through banks – This will however allow a lot of investors to participate and fund real estate projects
REITs target completed projects and hence this will lead to faster project completion, and bring-in the much needed transparency.
Слайд 8Smart Cities
Smart cities have become the buzz word in India ever
since PM Modi has started talking about it.
Rs 7,060 crore has been sanctioned to develop “100 smart cities”, as satellite towns of larger cities and by modernizing the existing mid-sized cities.
The Amritsar Kolkata Industrial master planning will be completed for the establishments of Industrial smart cities in seven States of India.
Master planning of three new smart cities in the Chennai-Bengaluru Industrial Corridor region, viz., Ponneri in Tamil Nadu, Krishnapatnam in Andhra Pradesh and Tumkur in Karnataka will also be completed.
Слайд 9Expressways
37,880 Cr is allotted for the construction of highways and expressways
to NHAI, which includes 3000 Cr proposed in North East.
500 Cr will also be set aside by NHAI for project preparation
North eastern India which hasn’t been the focus of most budgets gets a reasonably bigger share this time
This will help develop the area, increase proximity and improve connectivity
Rs 100 crore provided for setting up a National Industrial Corridor Authority, with its headquarters in Pune.
Plan for the Bengaluru Mumbai Economic corridor (BMFC) and Vizag-Chennai corridor with the provisions for 20 new industrial clusters.
