Dream home in Chennai could be reality soon

Feb 16 2008, Chennai:

This could be a good time to buy an affordable home in Chennai. Divya Rajagopal reports that the city's developers are cutting rates in the middle-income housing segment.

The dream home in Chennai could be soon a reality and easy on the pockets too. Property developers in Chennai are slashing prices for houses in the mid-segment range. Vijayshanti Builders, who are primarily into premium housing, have introduced five projects across Chennai at a range of Rs 2600-2800 per sq ft. Not only that, they are also offering to pay up the pre-EMI interest for the buyers.

"For a mid segment when someone plans a house, he has got the budget fixed and he has to make that payment. Now with the rate of interest going up, his budget turns completely upside down and he finds it difficult, so we have come up with both the options at 26 and 28" says Suresh Kumar, MD, Vijayshanti Builders.

Marg Constructions has also launched a project offering the same range. The trend was started off by DLF. The realty company competitively priced its first phase of 900 flats at in the city at a price of 2800 per sq foot and the result was a predictable sell-out! Analysts say the developers are finally catering to their customers.

"I think we need to look at what is the purchasing power, what is the affordability of that segment of population and then build the house, which those guys can afford and not look,” adds Ananth Narayan, Jones Lang Lasalle Meghraj.

The slack of past 8 months have shown that over valuation will not push the realty market with most of the builders deciding on affordable houses and also a possibility of a cut in the interest rate. This could prove to be a boost for the mid segment buyer.

Chennai-Bangalore industrial corridor to boost growth

Nov 02 2007, Chennai:

With plans for a bullet train, a six-lane highway and an extension of the metro rail from Chennai to Bangalore to bring the two cities closer, a proposal to develop an industrial corridor between the two fast-growing cities is expected to give a further fillip to economic growth in southern India.

The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) Thursday welcomed the proposed corridor, mooted by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi to the prime minister on the lines of an industrial corridor planned between Delhi and Mumbai. Under its City Connect programme, the CII has held several discussions with senior officials of the Tamil Nadu government to develop the new corridor.

"The Chennai-Bangalore industrial corridor would go a long way in tapping the potential of the two states to attract investment and help creation of a skilled workforce," Gopal Srinivasan, chairman of the CII's Tamil Nadu Council, said.

"The establishment of such an intra-state corridor would ensure inclusive, sustainable and balanced regional growth," he added.

"Intra-state corridors also help facilitate the convergence of industry verticals. The Bangalore-Chennai corridor would give the much needed impetus to niche areas and help in the promotion of engineering services in a big way, apart from effectively leveraging the strengths of the IT and electronics industry in south India," he pointed out.

Sriperumbudur, to the west of Chennai, is already the most industrialised zone in Tamil Nadu with an array of top automobile majors and other MNCs setting up their manufacturing bases. Sriperumbudur and Chennai are home to 110 automobile and ancillary industries. Tamil Nadu exports auto components worth about $250 million per year.

The government has allocated Rs.3 billion to upgrade two key highways - the industrial artery to Sriperumbudur which is destined to become a six-lane highway and the Rajiv Gandhi Road or the Old Mahabalipuram Road, now known as Chennai's IT highway, says Tamil Nadu's industry secretary Shaktikanta Das.

The Madras Export Processing Zone (MEPZ) has submitted a detailed development plan to the Ministry of Railways for rail connectivity to Sriperumbudur, about 80 km from here.

Approval for a railhead near Sriperumbudur, linking it with south Chennai, and a second line to access Ennore and Chennai ports are in the offing. Two other roads are being made to link SEZs in the Sriperumbudur-Kancheepuram area with the airport.

A third rail line is to link technology parks and IT companies like TCS, Satyam and Wipro along the Rajiv Gandhi Road to Siruseri, a fast-emerging SEZ.

In the offing is also the Rs.50.6 billion Chennai Metro Project to link Chennai to Sriperumbudur.

Mahindra World City, 30 km from Chennai airport, is monitored by the MEPZ and has about 80 companies including the TVS Group and BMW. The companies here hope to export products worth Rs.80 billion by 2012.

Chennai airport is south India's largest airport with more than 270 passenger flights and more than 30 cargo flights out of it every week.

Tamil Nadu has been lobbying for a bullet train between Bangalore and Chennai, 450 km apart, for some years. At present, it takes about four hours by train to travel between the cities.

Property transactions plummet in Chennai, suburbs

Oct 22 2007, Chennai:

Data available with the Registration Department reveals that the number of property transactions in Chennai and its suburbs in Kancheepuram and Chengalpattu districts has come down substantially in the last two months.

In May 2007, the number of documents registered in the five district registrar offices was 51,583. Of these, 80 per cent was property-related. In September, the volume came down to 36,748. Property transactions in the suburbs in Chengalpattu district, including Sriperumbudur that had the highest volume of transaction in the State, dropped by 30 per cent. The market has been experiencing a lull in the last few months.

Senior Registration Department officials have been observing a slow-down in transactions, and the data compiled recently confirms this. A.V. Ramasamy, chairman, Builders’ Association of India’s southern centre, attributes the slowdown to the wait-and-watch attitude of buyers who, he reckons, are not willing to buy at the current prices.

C.H. Gopinath Rao, former national president, Institution of Valuers, says property dealers had bought land at high prices. In some cases they had paid huge sums in advance. They don’t want to sell now as the prices are falling. He says the increase in guideline values is not a reason for the slowdown. They have been raised within the city, but remain well below the market value in the suburbs. The additional rise in property cost due to guideline values is only marginal. The property values went spiralling even after the revised guideline values were put up for public opinion in 2006.

However, the revenue through stamp duty and registration charges has not dropped. The upward revision in guideline values, between 50 and 150 per cent, which have been in force since August 1, helped to stabilise the revenue collection.
