Current Account Deficit (CAD) narrowed to 0.2
of GDP in the fourth quarterof FY 2014-15 from
1.6 in the previous quarter helped by lower
trade deficit primarily due to fall in global
crude prices while foreign investments inflows
remained robust. However, the HSBC India
Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) forservices
sector, which contributes 51 to the Indian
economy, contracted for the first time in the
past 13 months and stood at 49.6 in May 2015
compared to 52.4 in the preceding month.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in its bi-monthly
Monetary Policy Review in June 2015 reduced the
repo rate by 25 basis points (bps) to 7.25,
which was the third rate cut this year so far as
retail inflation has been around 5, and the
government has been able to contain the
fiscaldeficitat 4. However, the central bank
kept the Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) and the
Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR) unchanged at
4.0, and 21.5 respectively. The retail
inflation as measured in terms of Consumer Price
Index (CPI) for the month of April 2015 fell to
4.87, but increased marginally in the
subsequent month (May 2015) to
The commercial office sector witnessed a total of
about 13.6 million square feet (msf) of new
supply during the second quarterof 2015 across
the top eight cities1. This was higher by

preceding quarter as Chennai (17 times) and Pune
(5 times) saw a very substantial increase in the
supply. Similarly, total net absorption too
noted an increase by 25 from the previous
quarter to 9.9 msf, led by Bengaluru with 37
share in total net absorption followed by Pune
with 23 share. Overall vacancy level inched up
marginally by 0.13 percentage point over the
previous quarter and was recorded at 20.1 on
the back ofhuge supplyinflux.
(FC Road, Koregaon Park and Aundh) and Bengaluru
(Brigade Road) witnessed rentals declined by 2-5
owing to limited demand. Lower Parel and
Goregaon in Mumbai and Kamanahalli in Bengaluru
were the only main-streets where rentals
appreciated (q-o-q) by 13-15 and 7
respectively owing to limited availability
ofqualityspaceamidst increased enquiries.
In the residential sector, about 28,100 units
were launched in the top eight cities during the
second quarter of 2015, an increase of 14 over
the previous quarter. Within the total unit
launched this quarter, Delhi-NCR had the highest
share at 25, followed by Bengaluru with a 16
share. Capital values during the quarter
remained stable across most cities in comparison
to the previous quarter owing to slow pace of
sales velocity. However, few submarkets in
Kolkata and Pune witnessed appreciation in
capital values in 1-4 range for mid segment
units on the back of steady demand. Also,
high-end and luxury segments of a few submarkets
in Kolkata and Delhi- NCR respectively witnessed
about 3 appreciation in capital values on a
q-o-q basis. Residential sales are likely to
improve as banks have started reducing lending
rates on home loans.
In the retail sector, no new mall supply was
added during the second quarter of 2015. As a
result, overall mall vacancy levels of the top
eight cities declined by 1.1 percentage points to
13.6. In addition, three malls with high
vacancy levels, were closed this quarter in
Mumbai, contributing to a decline in overall
vacancy levels. Mall rentals remained stable
across most cities. However, certain submarkets
in western region of Mumbai (Kandivali, Kurla,
Thane, Bhandup-Mulund) and Pune (Hadapsar)
reported quarter-on-quarter (q-o-q) rental
decline of 7-9 decline owing to high
availabilities, low demand and competitive
pressure. Additionally, mall rentals in
Somajiguda and NTR Gardens in Hyderabad
witnessed double-digit decline (14-20) due to
decline in footfalls and lack of demand.

Trends Updates
Economic Trends The Consumer Price Index (CPI)
increased marginally from (a three month low of)
4.87 recorded in April 2015 to 5.01 in May
2015. However, the CPI remained well within the
central bank's targetted comfort zone,
suppressing insecurities arising out of
forecasted rainfall deficit this year. Though
the Wholesale Price Index (WPI) remained in
dis-inflationary zone, it recorded narrower dis-
inflation in May 2015 at (-2.4) compared to
(-2.7) in the previous month. The inflation for
the minerals remained in sub-zero zone (-28.4)
for the tenth conseutive month, owing to about
36 fall in average price for the Indian crude
oil basket. Primary food inflation further eased
to a six month low of 3.8 in May 2015. The core
inflation (non-food manufactured products)
further fell to (-0.65) in May as against
(-0.41) in the previous month. 1Ahmedabad,

In light of controlled CPI and WPI, the RBI
reduced repo rate by 25 bps to 7.25 in its
Bi-Monthly Monetary Policy Review held in June
2015. However, the centralbank has keptthe CRR
and SLR unchanged at 4.0 and 21.5
respectively. Further easing in key policy rates
are expected from the central bank owing to
positive macro-economic data such as controlled

by the construction development sector
(comprising townships, housing, built-up

inflows, the central bank added a whopping USD
61.4 billion to the foreign exchange reserves in
FY 2014-15, significantly higher from USD 15.5
billion in the previous fiscal.
The central governmenthas been able to achieve
better than targetted numbers on fiscal deficit
and revenue deficit front, which have been
confined to 4.0 and 2.8 for the FY 2014-15, as
against the targets of 4.1 and 2.9
respectively. The Current Account Deficit (CAD)
narrowed to 0.2 of GDP in the fourth quarter of
FY 2014-15 from 1.6 in the previous quarter.
CAD for the FY 2014-15 was also lower at 1.3 of
GDP compared to 1.7 in the previous fiscal,
primarily on account of lower crude oil prices
and robust foreign capital inflows.
The BSE Realty Index dropped by 251.25 points to
close at 1,413.26 points at the end of June 2015
due to capital outflows from FIIs especially in
the month of May amidst tax notices sent by the
Finance Ministry to the FIIs for the Minimum
Alternative Tax (MAT) payments forprevious years.
For the FY 2014-15, the FII investments in equity
and debt markets together stood at around INR
250,670 crores (USD 41 billion). However, the
Indian Rupee came under pressure as it fell
against the US dollar during the second quarter
of 2015 to INR 64.08 in June from INR 62.56 in
March as FIIs pulled out money from Indian
equities in the month of May amidst concerns
over Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) notices and
subdued corporate earnings during the Jan-March
quarter.
The Cabinet Cabinet Committee on Economic
Affairs (CCEA) approved the low cost housing
scheme for promoting affordable housing for the
urban poor under the Housing for All by 2022
initiative in June 2015. Accordingly, the
interest subsidy has been hiked to 6.5 on
housing loans to beneficiaries belonging to
economically weakersections (EWS) including slum
dwellers and low-income groups (LIG).

During the second quarter of 2015, around 28,100
new unit launches were witnessed in the top
eight cities, higher by about 14 over the
preceding quarter. This was primarily due to
substantial increase in new launches in
Delhi-NCR, wherein new unit launches more than
doubled (144) over the previous quarter. In
addition, with about 6,900 unit launches,
Delhi-NCR accounted for 25 of the total unit

absorption in the second quarter of 2015,
registering a decline of 6 as compared to the
previous quarter. 96 of the quarterly net
absorption was contributed by Grade A
developments. Absence of new completions during

Ahmedabad mall vacancies declined by 0.1
percentage point over the quarter to 33.2 in the
second quarter of 2015. This marginal decline in
vacancy level was due to limited transaction

demand from retailers. The leasing activity in
main streets also declined due to limited
availability of quality spaces.

Under Construction Residential Property Update
The western submarkets continued to dominate the
under-construction scenario with locations such
as Prahladnagar, Vasna, Bopal, etc. leading the
activity. Northern locations like Motera and
Ranip also witnessed sizeable construction
activity due to
availability of large tracts of land and
comparatively affordable rates at these
locations. Capital values in under-construction
projects remained mostly stable to stay relevant
in competitive market.
Commercial Office Sector
Ahmedabad witnessed 153,200 sf of leasing
activity in the second quarter of 2015. The
IT-ITeS sector dominated the leasing activity
followed by consulting sector with 69 and 18
contribution respectively. Gandhinagar (65) and
S.G. Highway (25) witnessed maximum leasing
during this period accounting for 90 of the
total activity. This
quarter witnessed the first pre-commitment of the
year, with a telecom company committing to
30,000 sf of space in an upcoming Grade A
development. Grade A vacancy also dipped by 1.6
percentage points to 31.8 due to no new supply
and sizeable transaction activity during the
quarter.
Retail Sector Mall rentals continued to remain
stable due to limited enquiries and high vacancy
levels. Majority of the enquiries across malls
and main streets were from Food Beverage (FB)
retailers and lifestyle brands.
Main street rentals also remained stable amidst
limited transaction activity as landlords quoted
similarrents to attractretailers.
Outlook Residential launches are likely to
decline marginally in the coming quarter amidst
sizeable unsold inventory, limited projects in
pre-launch phase and wait-and-watch approach
being adopted by buyers. Some developers may
postpone their project launches to the fourth
quarter expecting improvement in sales during
the festive season.
contribute to an increase in vacancy levels
across submarkets.
Retail leasing activity is likely to be moderate
due to no new mall supply and limited
availability of quality space in existing malls.
Mall rentals are likely to remain stable except
S.G. Highway which might register slight
correction due to high vacancy levels. Main
streets are expected to witness improvement in
demand with major enquiries from FB and
jewellery retailers. Key main street locations
like C.G. Road, Prahladnagar and S.G. Highway
might record marginal improvement in rentals
with pick-up in demand.
Nearly 1.97 msf of Grade A new office supply is
likely to be delivered by the end of the year in

to improve, it is unlikely to keep pace with the

remained largely steady, with a few exceptions.
Trends Updates

across all submarkets in Bengaluru maintained

inventory. The rental values in mid segment of
South- Eastern and Eastern submarkets comprising
of the IT hub along Outer Ring Road (ORR) and
Whitefield locations witnessed a
quarter-on-quarter rental appreciation of 5.
The proximity to these IT
destinations and the presence of quality social
and physical infrastructure act as a strong
demand driver leading to a subsequent increase

Estimated and as per market information Under
Construction Residential Property Update
Around 174,600 residential units are under
construction across various submarkets. Mid
segment comprises at least 56 of the total
under- construction units, followed by 23 of
units in the affordable segment. Most of the new
under construction units noted in this quarter
were mid segment apartments offering 2BHK and
3BHK configuration. Affordable segment launches
appeared to be subdued in this quarter as
compared to 6 of the total unit launches
launched in the last
quarter. Far South, North and Eastern locations
comprise of a predominant (75) share of the
total affordable projects under construction in
the city.
Over the last few quarters, developers have
offered schemes like paying pre-EMI or giving a
buy- back option to the end user post procession
to incentivize the latter and increase the
sales. Given the slow movement of existing
inventory, different subvention schemes are on
the rise across the city.

Commercial Office Sector Grade A net absorption
of about 3.2 msf was recorded during the second
quarter of 2015. While the transactions in Grade
A spaces were healthy this quarter, relocation
activities resulted in a comparatively lower net
absorption of 3 from the previous quarter.
However, Grade A leasing was at 3.8 msf and at
par with the previous quarter. Major leasing
activities were noted in the Outer Ring Road
(41) and Peripheral East (22) submarkets. Also,
the IT-ITeS continued to be a dominant demand
driver with nearly 76 of the total leasing,
followed by BFSI sector that constituted 8 of
total leasing. The second quarter of 2015,
recorded total pre-
commitments of 1.2 msf, nearly 41 increase from
the previous quarter.
Bengaluru witnessed a rental decline in select
submarkets in Grade A office spaces. Peripheral
South and Suburban East witnessed a 6 and 13
decline in their weighted average rentals
respectively, owing to limited absorption and
available spaces quoting lower rentals. Given
high new supply and healthy absorption, the
overall Grade A vacancy increased by 0.5
percentage point and stood at 8.5.
Retail Sector Mall and main street rentals were
stable across most submarkets during the second
quarter of 2015. While there was no new mall
supply, steady leasing activities were noted in
malls across Whitefield, Magrath Road and
Malleswaram, especially by apparel, electronic
and Food Beverage (FB) retailers. Among main
streets, Kamanahalli Main Road rentals
appreciated by 7.7 owing to increased
enquiries and limited availability of quality
space. On the other hand, Brigade Road witnessed
a 5 rental decline, owing to dwindling demand
over the last few quarters. Automobile, fitness,
apparel and jewellery brands were some of the
prominent retailers that leased space in
Koramangala, Indiranagar and Commercial Street
in this quarter.
Outlook The residentiallaunches are likely tobe
restrained in the followingquarters due
tosurplus existing inventory, amidst stable
demand across most submarkets. Rental and
capital values are likely to remain stable across
most submarkets, with the exception of the
South- Eastern and Eastern submarkets which may

segment due to growingdemand.

Chandigarh
Market Overview
In the second quarter of 2015, approximately
1,100 units were launched in the Tri-City region.
The new launches were primarily in the outskirts
in submarkets of Zirakpur and Mohali. The
high-end segment witnessed healthy transaction
activity during the quarter. However, capital
values continued to maintain status quo due to
sustained selling pressure. Capital values in
the mid segment too remained stable across
submarkets. Submarkets in Peer Mushalla,
Zirakpur and Mohali witnessed increased number
of inquiries as construction work on the ring
road recommenced during the quarter. No new
office space was added to the Tri-City during
the quarter. Demand for office space during the
quarter was primarily from companies belonging
to Banking, Financial and Insurance Services
(BFSI), consulting and telecommunication
sectors. Grade A office rentals remained stable
during the quarter, due to the high prevailing
vacancies and subdued demand. Approximately
350,000 sf of retail area was added to the
Tri-City region in the second quarter of 2015.

Vacancy levels in the submarket of Mohali
increased due to the addition of new supply.
Demand for mall space remained tepid during the
quarter. In the main street locations, demand
was primarily from footwear and apparel brands.
Rentals remained stable for both malls and main
street locations across Chandigarh.
Trends Updates Ready Residential Property
Update Capital values remained stable across all
locations from the previous quarter. Transaction
activity in the high-end segment improved during
the quarter with availability of good deals
at
competitive prices. Despite improved buyers
interest, capital values in the markets of
Zirakpur and Mohali remained stable due to
high-unsold inventory in the market.

Under Construction Residential Property Update
In Q2 2015, capital values of under construction
remained stable across submarkets. The
submarkets of Peer Mushalla, Zirakpur and Mohali
witnessed increased traction as the new airport
is
expected to begin operation shortly. Few projects
in Zirakpur and Panchkula are expected to be
ready for possession in the next quarter.
Commercial Office Sector In the second quarter of
2015, BFSI, consulting and telecommunication
sector companies had a major share in office
space take-up. Quoted rentals of IT Parks
and SEZs were around INR 50-60 per square feet
per month (psf pm) and commercial spaces were at
INR 70- 95 psfpm.
Retail Sector The second quarter of 2015
witnessed approximately 350,000 sf of new retail
space. Demand in mall space was primarily from
Food and Beverage (FB), jewellery and home
furnishing brands. Some of the retailers
include, Coffee Day,
Carat lane and Nilkamal. In main street
locations, footwear and apparel, retailers such
as Hush Puppies and Blackberry took up space in
Sector 17 market. Rentals across malls and main
street locations remained stable during the
second quarterof 2015.
Outlook Capital values are likely to remain
stable in the high-end segment despite
improvement in transaction activity, especially
due to significant existing unsold inventory.
New launch activity is likely to pick up in the
southern submarket of Zirakpur and on the 200ft
road as the new airport begins operation.
rentals are expected to remain stable over the
next quarter, considering the prevailing high
vacancies.
No new mall space is scheduled for completion in
the third quarter of 2015, which is expected to
lead to decline in vacancy levels. Rental values
in malls are expected to remain stable in
Chandigarh city due to stable demand whilst they
may soften marginally in the peripheral
submarkets, during the next quarter due to high
vacancies and tepid demand.
No new office supply is likely to be added in the

Chennai
Market Overview
During the second quarter of 2015, new
residential unit launches declined sharply by 33
over the previous quarter to nearly 2,100 units.
However, mid segment constituted the highest
proportion of launches during this quarter and
comprised nearly 92 of total units launched.
Southern and South-west quadrants of the city,
primarily Grand Southern Trunk (GST) Road and
Suburban (South) together comprised 59 of total
new launches as upcoming IT-ITeS office
developments and proximity to suburban business
hubs rendered these locations attractive for home
buyers. Launches in high-end segment rose by 26
over the previous quarter, mainly due to
increasing number of new unit offerings in this
segment in Nungambakkam. On an overall basis,
high-end segment comprised 8 of new unit
launches. Chennai witnessed sizeable new office
supply of nearly 1.3 msf during the second
quarter of 2015, comprising of IT parks (74)
and commercial office spaces (24). However, in
line with the first quarter of 2015, no new
supply of IT-Special Economic Zone (IT-SEZ)
became operational. The share of Grade A
developments as a proportion of total supply
increased from 27 in the first quarter to 74 at
the end of this quarter. This is primarily
because a new block of a prominent IT Park
became operational in Perungudi. Occupier
demand, mainly from the IT- ITeS sector,
remained strong leading to a 7

quarterly uptick in net absorption for Grade A
spaces which was noted at 529,700 sf. However,
dearth of new developments, mainly IT-SEZs slowed
down the expansion plans of few occupiers and
overall net absorption levels dipped by 11 over
the previous quarter. Mall stock in Chennai
remained static as supply infusion remained
absent for the sixth consecutive quarter.
Limited leasing coupled with the exit of a few
big retailers, including anchor tenants from
some malls in Chennai-CBD led to a 2.3 percentage
point rise in mall vacancy to 7.9 on a q-o-q
basis. Owing to limited churn and modest demand,
mall rentals remained maintained status-quo
across submarkets.
Trends Updates
Ready Residential Property Update Nearly 1,600
new residential units spread across 22 projects
completed construction during this period, a
stark decline of 37 over the previous quarter.
Many developers delayed possession of under
construction projects to second half of the year
due to several factors such as slow pace of
construction and high costs of building
materials.
GST Road (26) and Rajiv Gandhi Salai-II (16)
accounted for the highest number of unit
completions with builders such as Khivraj
Olympia, South India Shelters Pvt. Ltd and
Vishram Builders being prominent amongst others
who handed over completed units to buyers.
Rental and capital values largely remained
stable for all submarkets.

from 3,200 units over the previous quarter to
nearly 2,100 units by the end of June 2015.
Whilst mid-segment continued to dominate the

Estimated and as per market information Under
Construction Residential Property Update
Nearly 25,000 units are currently under
construction across various segments that may be
available for possession by the end of this year.
More than 81 of such units are in the mid
segment, followed by the affordable segment
(13). Nearly
50 of such units are spread across suburban and
peripheral submarkets of GST Road, Rajiv Gandhi
Salai (I) and II) and suburban areas near OMR and
Velachery.
19
Commercial Office Sector As new supply influx
remained sparse in prominent suburban
submarkets, existing availabilities in
Peripheral South-west (42) and North-west (17)
witnessed maximum share in Grade A net
absorption as demand remained healthy, despite
slow execution of expansion plans by some large
occupiers. Huge supply influx led to a
0.7 percentage point uptick in overall vacancy
that rose to 14.4 at the end of this quarter.
Weighted average rentals increased by 4 over
the previous quarter largely due to an 8 rental
uptick in Suburban South as premium spaces
started quoting higher rentals in the wake of
limited vacancy.
Retail Sector Strong demand for both established
main streets and standalone formats from
existing retailers as well as new entrants to
the city culminated in some large transactions.
Primarily jewellery and hypermarket
retailer categories fuelled demand for main
street locations rentals remained stable as
demand was fulfilled atrates similarto the
previous quarter.
Outlook Nearly 3,800 residential units are
currently under soft launch and maybe launched
during the latter half of the year. Improvements
in physical infrastructure, such as inauguration
of parts of Phase I of Metro Rail and road

cause an upward bias in overall vacancy in the
city. Modest availability of IT-SEZ developments
coupled with continual demand from occupiers may
lead to rental uptick in select submarkets such
as Suburban South and South-west.
Whilst no new mall influx is expected during the
next quarter, mall vacancy may revise downwards
as demand from apparels and food and beverages
(FB) categories may improve going forward.
However, rentals may hold steady. In the wake of
healthy demand, select main streets such as Anna
Nagar 2nd Avenue and Pondy Bazar may witness an
upward rental bias due to retailers preference
for these locations.
During the next quarter, supply infusion in

Under Construction Residential Property Update
Developers continued offering phase-wise
possession in projects across submarkets. Under-
construction projects in Noida Extension, which
were stuck in petitions challenging the land
acquisition, received a boost after the Supreme
Court quashed all petitions. Projects on Dwarka
Expressway also witnessed healthy pick-up in
construction activity after the State High
Court
vacated its stay on the construction work on the
expressway. A 2-km stretch of Dwarka Expressway
was caught in land acquisition litigation and the
court had earlier ordered a stay on construction
activity of the expressway. However, the
National Green Tribunal imposed a ban on
construction activity on several projects for
flouting pollution norms in Noida Extension.

Commercial Office Sector Grade A office supply in
Delhi-NCR was recorded at 2.5 msf in the second
quarter of 2015, a 20.8 increase from the
previous quarter. Commercial developments
accounted for 87.2 of this new supply followed
by IT-SEZs with a 12.8 share. The quarter
witnessed net absorption of over 1.3 msf in
Grade A developments, a 111 increase from the
previous quarter. The IT-ITeS sector had the
highest share (67), followed by healthcare (7)
and the consulting sectors (5). No
pre-commitments were noted during the quarter.
Led by a surge in supply along with high
relocations and consolidation by occupiers, the
overall vacancy in Grade A developments increased
by 0.7 percentage points and was noted at 27.8.
The weighted average Grade A rentals in Gurgaon
CBD increased by over 4.5 amidst strong demand
and limited availability. Weighted average
rentals in Noida increased by over 27.2 due to
fresh addition of premium spaces at higher
rentals.
Retail Sector Overall mall vacancy levels was
recorded at 14.5, increasing by 0.1 percentage
point over the previous quarter. The increase
was primarily due to tepid demand and exit by
several vanilla retailers in a mall in West
Delhi. The demand for space in malls was driven
mainly by retailers from food and beverage
(FB), apparel and accessories brands. Some of
these retailers include, Carls Jr., HM, W and
GAP to name a few. Low levels of churn resulted
in rental values maintaining status quo during
the second quarter of 2015, although rentals in
select prominent malls increased. Apparels, FB
and footwear brands, which continued to
strengthen their presence across various
locations, mainly drove the demand in main
street locations. Few of the brands that took up
space during the quarter include Farzi Café,
Café Coffee Day, Bear Café, Nike, W and Madame.
Outlook Considering that currently, only a few
projects are in pre-launch stage, new unit
launches are likely to decline in the next
quarter. As transaction activity is likely to
remain subdued, capital values across submarkets
in Delhi-NCR are expected to remain stable
during the next quarter. With the Delhi
government pushing for re-categorization of areas
for demarcation of circle rates, a revision is
expected soon. Several projects nearing
completion in the submarkets of Noida and
Gurgaon are expected to begin possession in the
coming quarters.
this surge in supply is likely to lead to an
increase in overall vacancy levels. Rental
values are expected to further strengthen in
Gurgaon CBD due to strong demand and limited
availability.
Nearly 3.6 msf of new mall supply is scheduled
for completion in the next quarter across Noida,
South Delhi and West Delhi, which is likely to
put pressure on rentals owing to increased
vacancy levels. During the next quarter, rentals
across most main street locations are expected
to remain stable. Prominent main street
locations such as Connaught Place and Sector 29,
Gurgaon will continue to see strong interest
from retailers especially from FB segment.
Approximately 3.8 msf of office space is
scheduled for completion during the next quarter,
primarily in Gurgaon. Despite sustained
absorption,

Hyderabad
Market Overview

• During the second quarter of 2015, Hyderabad
  witnessed the launch of nearly 1,140 residential
  units, a decline of 66 over the previous quarter

  the total units launched, Madhapur, Gachibowli
