The Indian real estate sector may not be performing well in the context
of economic slowdown.But, it accounted for a sizeable proportion of total
investment as of December 2011, in 7of the top 20 well performing states in
terms of investment, an ASSOCHAM study found.
Haryana First..!
Reflecting a realty rush bordering Delhi, particularly from Gurgaon,
Haryana saw almost 50% of its investment coming in the real estate sector. The
other states attracting sizeable interest in the sector included Uttar Pradesh
(UP), Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh (AP), Tamil Nadu,
Rajasthan and Punjab.
It found that the investment in real estate has a very strong nexus with
the growth and investors’ interest in the services sector. The services sector
also attracted a good chunk of investment in the states which were fancied by
investors in the realty sector.
The ASSOCHAM Chamber Secretary General Mr. D.S. Rawat said,'' In
Haryana as of December 2011, the services sector accounted for nearly 34% of
its total investment. Similarly, in Maharashtra as much as 37% of its total
investment went into the service sector, which in any case contributes 57% of
the national gross domestic product. In Gujarat, the services accounted for 16%
of total investment. It was 30% in Uttar Pradesh, 38.5% in Punjab, 30.8% in Tamil Nadu & 24.6% in Karnataka..
It is only in Kerala and Jammu and Kashmir where there was not much of a
relationship between investment in services & real sector sectors. For
instance in Jammu & Kashmir, fresh money committed towards services sector
accounted for 56% of the total investment, but in the realty sector it was just
about 0.7% of the total funds invested in the state."
Highlights of ASSOCHAM
Report..!
* As Gurgaon bordering Delhi has become a hub of domestic & MNCs
(multi-national companies), mostly in the services sector like IT business
outsourcing, “the real estate development was the focal point in Haryana as the
sector attracted 49.7% of the total investment in the state.
* What Gurgaon has done to Haryana in terms of investors’ interest in
the real estate sectors, Noida and Greater Noida have done it for Uttar
Pradesh, though on a lesser scale as the state is many times bigger than
Haryana.
* In Uttar Pradesh, the realty sector accounted for 22% of the total
investment in the state.
* The growth of the services sector, mainly driven by IT exports,
tourism and restaurants, has also led to investors rushing to build housing and
commercial space in the areas which have remained in the forefront of economic
development.
* This is visible in Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Gujarat
and Karnataka.
* Of its total investment of Rs
4.98 lakh crore as on December 2011, the real estate sector accounted for Rs.
2.48 lakh crore in Haryana, which has other towns like Faridabad, Sonepat,
Ambala, Panipat and Karnal where the realty sector is growing fast, even though
they are no match for Gurgaon.
* The investment patterns, according to the ASSOCHAM study, suggests
that the strategy adopted by progressive states is that they invest in
development of the primary sector. The strategy envisages use of public
investment exclusively for the development of primary sector and private
investment for the industry and services sectors. Progressive states have
mainly followed such a strategy and created quality infrastructure networks and
investor friendly policy framework.
