Realtors’ Relying on Budget’s Infra Focus to Open New Avenues

The real estate sector did not get anything directly from the Budget 2022-23, except for the announcement related to affordable housing. However, the realtors are showing optimism based on the Government’s stance toward boosting economic growth and spending on infrastructural development.

Realtors’ Relying on Budget’s Infra Focus to Open New Avenues

“We congratulate the FM for coming up with a Budget with a focus on overall economic health; the announcement will lead to better-earning opportunities for people directly impacting the retail sector. We can see the retail and commercial segment moving to more Indian cities as infrastructure will improve after various announcements in the Budget. Though there was not much in terms of tax savings for people, overall economic growth will lead to increased income that will support retail consumption,” said Abhishek Bansal, Executive Director, Pacific Group.

Added Yash Miglani, MD, Migsun Group, “We appreciate the efforts of Finance ministry for boosting the overall economy of nation with this budget. Although, the real estate sector has not been directly benefited, but infra, urban planning measures introduced will add to the profits of industry. In 2022-23, 80 lakh households will be identified for the affordable housing scheme under PM Awas Yojana. This will be giving multiple job opportunities to the construction workers and contractors on a large scale.”

This year’s budget focus was more on boosting the overall infrastructure, urban planning etc. not just in metros but also to Tier II-III cities. “The measure of setting up a high-level committee for urban planners and economists to be formed for recommendations on urban capacity building, planning implementation, and governance is a giant leap to introduce modern urban planning structures. Overall, the Union Budget 2022-23 had a mixed bag of announcements for the real estate sector, much was expected on the terms of single window clearance, industry status and tax incentives which did not come through,” said Uddhav Poddar, MD, Bhumika Group.

Realtors were expecting some incentives in the aftermath of the current challenging situation and when demand is going through an upward graph. The unanimous view is that improving highways and infrastructure will open new horizons for the sector.

“We anticipated a budget that is both people and business-friendly; the current Budget made it clear that economic growth is the prime focus as the Economic Survey projected a GDP growth of 8-8.5 per cent in the next fiscal. The emphasis on improving transport infrastructure, including highways, will go a long way in creating sustainable pockets of real estate development. Though there was no announcement related to the sector, we are hopeful that job creation and the announcement of Ease of Doing Business 2.0 will lead to increased demand,” said Amarjit Bakshi, CMD Central Park.

The Budget will help in overall economic growth; ECGL extension will help the manufacturing sector or COVID affected sector. “Allocation for infrastructure has increased, including the announcements related to the expansion of highways. As far as the real estate sector is concerned, Government has allocated Rs 48,000 crore fund for PMAY and the completion of 80 lakh affordable houses by 2023. The sector will benefit as demand will increase due to infrastructural development and the launch Ease of Doing Business 2.0, which will lead to income generation,” said Kunal Bhalla, CEO & Founder, CRC Group.

This year’s Budget laid emphasis on holistic infrastructure development not only in metros but also focused on Tier-II and Tier-III cities by encouraging urban planning etc. “The establishment of a high-level committee for urban planning comprising planners, economists etc highlights the immense potential sector holds. Overall, there was a mixed bag of announcements for the real estate sector in the Union Budget 2022-23. Some of the long-standing demands of our real estate community like single window clearance, industry status allotment and tax incentives did not materialise even during this year’s Budget,” said Gurucharan Singh, Director, Maasters Infra.

Migsun Achieves Rs. 550 Crore Sales in Q3, Targets another Rs. 700 Crore by Q4 FY 21-22

Migsun Group, one of the renowned names in real estate, has announced that it has completed sales of Rs. 550 crore in Q3 FY21-22 and is targeting another Rs. 700 crore by the end of Q4 FY 21-22. The Group informed that sales were achieved from projects across the cities, including Noida, Ghaziabad, and Lucknow.

After achieving sales of 1014 units of residential, commercials and villas in Q3 FY 21-22, the Group has kept the target of Q4 at 1400 units cumulatively. The sales were majorly in Migsun Janpath (Lucknow), Migsun Ultimo (Greater Noida), Migsun WYN (Greater Noida), Migsun Atharva (Raj Nagar Extension, Ghaziabad), Migsun Kiaan (Vasundhra, Ghaziabad), Migsun Vilaasa (Greater Noida West), and Migsun Chambers.

Commenting on the sector’s performance, Yash Miglani, MD, Migsun Group, said, “After coming to a halt in 2020, the year 2021 got off to a better start, but the second wave hit the market in the first few months; nevertheless, the sector enjoyed a resurgence after June 2021, fueled by record-low home loan interest rates, good projects, and reasonable pricing. As the year continued, the sales figures improved significantly. However, we have been able to achieve good sales numbers even during the challenging COVID times due to our impeccable delivery image.”

Even during the lockdown in 2021, the Group sold over 150 units amounting to approximately Rs. 80 crore in the period from April 22 till May 18; the commercial and residential units were from the projects located in Greater Noida and Raj Nagar Extension (Ghaziabad).

The Group’s commercial projects perform equally well compared to the residential projects. Talking about the importance of the commercial segment, Miglani said, “Commercial real estate will be critical to the countrys economic development. Quality projects that can attract people are required. We are certain that our projects will change public perceptions of commercial establishments. We are committed to providing high-quality development that can lead to growth.”

The Group is also investing heavily in stuck projects to ensure that people get their promised real estate assets; earlier, it announced that it would take up five to seven stuck projects in Greater Noida and invest Rs. 4,500 crore in their construction. Miglani said, “The projects will be developed under the JV and DM models. We are pursuing township and group housing projects in the residential sector. Our strategy to resurrect stalled projects may not significantly impact new demand, but it will bring relief to dissatisfied homebuyers who have been holding their breath. Our effort is to enhance the overall consumer sentiment and help to fix the supply side.”

World Vision India Collaborates with Global Indian International School, Singapore to Conduct Community Virtual Class Learning

~ Approximately 200 vulnerable children from 10 schools across Chennai, Gurgaon, New Delhi, Kanpur and Agra benefitted and got opportunity to improve their competencies in English and Mathematics ~

 

As our country braces itself to navigate through the third wave of COVID, World Vision India (WV India), the country’s largest child-focused humanitarian organization, focuses on ensuring that the education of the vulnerable children do not suffer. As one of the way to facilitate this- WV India collaborated with Global Indian International School (GIIS)-Singapore and conducted Community Virtual Class Learning (CVCL) for approximately 200 students of grade 4 to 5 level aged between 8 to 13 years from 10 schools across Chennai, Gurgaon, New Delhi, Kanpur and Agra.

CVCL is a virtual platform where the vulnerable students from lesser-privileged communities, are taught practical concepts that will have a learning impact in their lives. GIIS students from the 11th grade facilitated CVCL and tutored the students in English and Mathematics. English topics ranged from alphabets, nouns, tenses to poems, letter writing and even story telling. Mathematics topics ranged from simple addition, subtraction to profit & loss, area & perimeter, etc. As many as 2000 students from various school were analyzed during the baseline survey to select the most vulnerable who did not have age/grade appropriate learning outcomes. Then the best way to tutor and help them improve were outlined. Most sessions were in the children’s mother tongues to begin with until they were able to comprehend the study material in English.

“The Pilot of the CVCL project was undertaken in October to December 2020 and owing to its success we decided to scale it up to more schools in 2021. Many of the students from the vulnerable sections did not have access to the internet, digital training or amenities to try to improve their academic skills. We are thrilled to collaborate with an institution such as GIIS Singapore, who share our philosophy of results through sustained efforts rather than resorting to ad hoc measures. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all the students from GIIS Singapore who took time off from their schedule and makes CVCL a great success. We are keen to further expand this program to more schools in India this year,” said, Mr. Sanjay Bhattacharya, Strategic Lead- Education, World Vision India.

 

“With the pandemic not going away, we definitely see the need for programs such as CVCL to provide opportunities for children from vulnerable sections, to equip themselves with skill sets which will hone their learning abilities. The students chosen for the program were those which needed help academically in their respective batches,” said Mr. Ashwin Gite, CAS Coordinator & Department Head, Humanities, Global Indian International School. “As per the baseline assessment, we received great results after CVCL, as about 70% of the students were able to read and comprehend English language, 35% of them were able to read newspapers and 70% also improved their competencies in simple arithmetic. This goes a long way to show how the right platforms and guidance can help these students improve their skills,” Mr Gite added.

Apart from improving their overall competencies in English and Mathematics, students also learned how to study through a virtual medium, which was a first for many. The exposure to the students from GIIS Singapore also acted as a platform for cross-fertilizations of ideas and an opportunity to engage with students from an International school and to pick up some of the best educational practices from them. On the other hand, the students from GIIS Singapore also got an opportunity to improve their preparatory and facilitation skills as well as have a cultural connect with India.

GIIS is a premier international school based in Singapore, whose mission is to nurture young minds into global leaders and innovators of tomorrow through a skills-based approach to education. The school emphasizes on entrepreneurship and character development as part of its holistic learning framework, which allows students to participate in programmes like CVCL.
