Land Pooling Policy 2020

Land Pooling Policy (LPP)

Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has formulated a Master Plan 2021 for Delhi to improve city planning in the divided zones under the Land Pooling Policy (LPP). Land Pooling Policy is the consolidation of small land parcels to make them into one larger land for construction in order to accommodate the residential and commercial solutions to the people of Delhi NCR. Under the Land Pooling Policy of Master Plan Delhi-2021, the national capital region will begin the smart city plan.

Land Pooling Policy was announced by the urban development ministry in September 2013. The initial phase would see several landowners/developers/societies to pool their land and assign it to the government for developing a percentage of land and retain a percentage to build infrastructure. Delhi Development Authority and the developers would operate in partnership for the development of the LPP Zone.

As per the Master Plan Delhi-2021, 6 Zones amongst a total of 15 zones come under the Land Pooling Policy. These zones are J Zone of South Delhi, K Zone of South West Delhi, and L zone in West Delhi. These zones will attract population and thus the difficulty of housing solutions will be fixed under the LPP.

Land Pooling Policy has encouraged the development of the Indian real estate market and retaining hopes of the builders. Homebuyers can buy luxurious houses at affordable rates in all the prime localities of Delhi NCR. The cautious use of large land parcels will benefit the stakeholders. It’s more beneficial to invest in the LPP approved projects and experience living around robust infrastructure. 

Key Amendments:

  • Timely development of infrastructure.
  •  Enabling farmers to pay development charges.
  • Mandatory EWS housing units.
  • Full utilization of approved floor area ratio (FAR).
  • Urbanization of 20,000 hectares of land.
  • 95 villages are coming together to develop.
  • Provision of 14-16 lakh housing units in Delhi.
  • 48-60 percent of the land to be returned back to the owners.

Major benefits of Land Pooling Policy:

  • The archaic Land Acquisition Policy has been mastered by the LPP, thus promoting proper land-use and bringing out transparency in land management.
  • Better revenue for the landowners and the government.
  • Better living at affordable prices.
  • PPP Model has been introduced, and it is the first time the government sector is working with private entities to construct quality development in the prescribed zones.

The dark red areas in the above map are the residential centers where the maximum population of Delhi resides. The red spots on the map imply that the residential centers of the city that are fully populated cannot accommodate any more residents on the currently available land. Delhi needs to expand to meet the needs of the migrant population which is expected to be 2.3 crores by 2021. The current infrastructure is only equipped to handle 1.5 crores of the 1.9 crore residents.

Distribution of land returned to DE (60%):

  • Gross residential – 53%
  • City-level (commercial) – 5%
  • City-level (public/ semi-public) -2%

Distribution of land returned to DE (48%):

  • Gross residential – 43%
  • City-level (commercial) – 3%
  • City-level (public/semi-public) – 2% 

Which areas will come under the ambit of this policy?

To compensate for the 50-60k acres of land requirement in the upcoming years, areas like Narela, Najafgarh, and Bawana will witness land pooling and development. About 89 of the 95 villages have been listed as urban villages that will accommodate development. This system is a part of the master plan for Delhi-2021 according to which the city of Delhi will be developed.

The master plan has highlighted the following roles in infrastructure development for each:

DDA:

  • Time-bound development of Master Plan Roads.
  • Create a plan for physical infrastructures such as water supply, sewerage, drainage, provision of social infrastructure, and traffic and transportation infrastructure including metro corridors.
  • External development in a time-bound manner (external development charges and other development charges acquired for city infrastructure shall be payable by DE on the actual cost incurred by DDA)

Developer Entity (DE):

  • Approval of layout/ detailed plan from DDA
  • Demarcation of roads as per layout plan, sector plan, and obtain verification of the same from the concerned authority.
  • Develop sector/ internal roads/ infrastructure/ services in its share of land (which includes water, power supply lines, rainwater harvesting, STP/ WTP, etc.)
  • Timely completion of development and its maintenance with all facilities (open spaces, roads, and services till the area is handed over to the Municipal Corporation)

Special Provisions for the Economically Weaker Sections (EWS):

As per the master plan, the developer entity will assure sufficient provision of EWS and other housing as per the Shelter Policy of the Plan. Aside from this, the developer entity shall also declare the prescribed built-up spaces, EWS dwelling units, and LIG Housing components to the DDA as per the policy.

  • The EWS Housing unit size range within 32- 40 square meters.
  • 50% of EWS housing stock to be maintained by DE for regulated sale for community service personnel and the remaining 50% to be sold to DDA, which will be improved as per CPWD index at the time of handing over. 

Development Framework and Control Measures

The Government/ DDA will be answerable for creating and implementing a framework for Land Pooling Policy to:

  • Frame detailed regulations including process and a timeline for participation in a time-bound manner. The laws shall be put up in public domain for capturing views of all stakeholders by giving a 30-day time frame
  • Create a dedicated unit for dealing with approvals of Land Pooling applications
  • Create a Single Window Clearance wherein all the agencies accountable for giving time-bound clearances will meet regularly as per notified timelines.

DDA shall formulate the following norms pertaining to the policy:

  • The residential Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 400 for group housing to be applicable on net residential land exclusive of 15 percent FAR reserved for Economically Weaker Section (EWS) housing. Net residential land to be a maximum of 55 percent of gross residential land.
  • This is explaining the concept of building higher to support more population
  • FAR for city-level commercial and city-level public/semi-public development to be 250.
  • Subdivision of residential areas and provision of facilities shall be as per MPD-2021.

How shortly will it be implemented?

Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal has approved and notified DDA Land Pooling Policy, and the implementation is set to begin once proposals are built on the final draft.

Apart from this, the developers have already started pooling land and we can see housing units soon.

What’s in it for a Delhi resident?

Being a Delhi citizen, you can expect approximately 25 lakh housing units in the coming 10 years. That means cheap and affordable housing.

If you are not a Delhi Resident, you can still invest your money in the land pooling scheme so to be a part of one of the biggest real estate booms in India.

Real Estate expectations from Union Budget 2020

CF-BLOG

Union Budget 2020 Expectations

The Union Budget 2020 will be presented on 1st February by the Finance Minister, Nirmala Sitharaman. Given the policy reforms undertaken by the government over the past couple of years, the real estate industry is hopeful that the upcoming budget will provide the much-needed impetus. The year 2019 saw the government take numerous steps to help improve market sentiment and revive real estate demand. Reforms such as capital gain benefit, tax exemption on notional rent, incentivizing Affordable Housing, the revised rental income limit for TDS, and thrust on infrastructure growth were highlights of the Union Budget 2019.

This time around, the sector expects the Budget 2020 to lower the GST rates on under-construction projects, increase the NBFC credit liquidity, implement single-window clearances for project approvals, redefine the Affordable Housing price bracket, allocate additional funds for PMAY scheme, and fuel investment in infrastructure.

In this backdrop, Commonfloor conducted a real estate survey on builders across India to capture their expectations from the Budget 2020. More than 300 builders participated in this survey to express their views and expectations.

Top_Sol

The majority of the builders (31%) expect the Budget to lower the GST on under-construction projects. GST reduction clubbed with the revival of Input Tax Credit can provide relief to the builders and housing can be made available at lower prices. After the reduction in GST rates in 2019, the government had withdrawn Input Tax Credit. The next key expectation of real estate is to address the challenge of NBFC (Non-banking Financial Company) liquidity. Liquidity will ensure positive momentum with a steady supply of ready-to-move homes. Also, single-window clearances can aid in procuring quick approvals so that project delays can be avoided. In the past few years, Affordable Housing has been the major growth driver. Still, it needs some reforms as currently only those houses are awarded affordable status and subsequently reduced GST rate of 1% which has a carpet area less than 60 sq.m. and falls under the price cap of Rs 45 lakh (GST rate for under-construction house is 5%)

Demand

Around 50% of the builders surveyed feel that the increase in Home Loan tax exemption is the primary factor boosting real estate demand. A further extension to the existing 2-lakh tax rebate on home loan interest rates will push the fence-sitters to buy homes. It could result in a higher demand for housing, especially in the affordable and mid-segment categories. Interestingly, “Redefinition of Affordable Housing” and “Income Tax Removal on Notional Rent” got equal responses from the builder community. The abolition of income tax on notional rent from the second self-occupied house benefits those with two houses and encourages home buying.

Sentiment image

One-third of the builders surveyed feel that the GST rates are the most vital component hurting homebuyers’ sentiment. Apart from GST, project delays and high property prices are the other factors that affect consumer sentiments. Builders feel that the initial aid of Rs 25000 cr last-mile funding for stalled projects is insufficient for the realty sector and that it needs to be executed on a larger level on a priority basis. Moreover, home loan interest rates and high government taxes such as stamp duty and registration could be reduced to propel demand in the market.

Fuel

Foreign Direct Investment is a key driver of economic growth and a medium of non-debt finance for any country’s economic development. One-fourth of the builders surveyed responded that single-window clearance will streamline the approval process and can bring about a major boom in FDIs for the realty sector. The next two major factors that can drive FDI are ‘clarity on entry-exit norms’ and ‘stamp duty exemption on FDI transfer’. More FDI in real estate will provide the necessary thrust to the current slump in the market.

Ajith Alex George, Director of 42 Estates says, “The real estate category in India requires bold fiscal measures from the union budget. The sector is going through a liquidity crisis with stalled projects across India, an economic booster required for the industry as a whole. Ease of Funding both on the supply and demand side along with quicker processing can again make this one of the key growth sectors. Approvals of projects have gotten better however there could be better clarity on some of the norms and changes in regulations, especially around taxation. Single-window clearance and query handling can make the process easier for the sector.

From the home buyers’ perspective, interest rates on home loans have to be reduced, we have been hearing further reduction on personal tax rates and stamp duties, this can strengthen the buying power of the home buyers which will have a compounding impact on the industry as both residential and commercial projects would get a better demand-side environment. The government is already doing its bit with the PMAY showing good traction, a further increase in subsidy rates for affordable housing can further help percolate this initiative. These steps might give the much-needed boost to the confidence of the developers and buyers alike.”

Mr. Amarjit Bakshi, CMD at Central Park says “Initiatives have already been taken to aid the real estate sector, such as tax concessions and availability of low-cost loans for developers and buyers. Reforms were put into place to promote rental housing as well as boost affordable housing, empowering the middle class and first-time home buyers.
We expect policy changes to boost consumption in the economy and improved liquidity for the industry by easing fund availability for the real estate sector, enabling the sector to come back on track, since it generates more than 6.5% of the GDP. It is expected that to boost investor interest, the limit of home loan interest will be increased. Announcing an industry status to the sector will bring manifold benefits.

Conclusion:

The implementation of the above-mentioned measures will help revive real estate growth to a great extent and give a thrust to home buying sentiments, which in turn will revive the economy. To generate cash flows for struggling builders, it is quite evident that the stress fund will be a big boost, but it would address only a small portion of the stalled projects. The rest could only be addressed by NBFCs and banks.

The real estate sector has long needed an industry status that can help to procure finances at a lower cost, especially now, when credit availability is a major headwind. The momentum of infrastructure development should continue from last year so that growth is decentralized and migration to urban centers remain under check. The real estate sector is optimistic that the upcoming budget will usher fresh stimulus in terms of bold fiscal measures to outperform its growth from last year.

Real Estate Round-up 2019: How India’s Real Estate Sector has Performed in Year 2019?

Indian Real estate round-up 2019

Indian Real Estate 2019 Round Off

Real Estate is one of the key driving factors behind the growth of the Indian Economy and plays a pivotal role in the nation’s GDP growth. It is among the most recognized sectors globally. It creates millions of direct and indirect employment opportunities and supports the country’s development. It consists of 4 sub-sectors – Housing, Commercial, Retail, and Hospitality. The growth of this sector is well complemented by the growth of the corporate sector and the demand for office space as well as urban and semi-urban houses. The real estate sector of India ranks 3rd among the 14 major sectors that have a direct and indirect impact on all sectors of the economy.

The year 2019 has been a period of ups and downs for the Indian Real Estate Sector. There have been various policy and taxation related announcements in the last year. The market experienced the impact of the ongoing Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC) crisis which resulted in a liquidity crisis and a slow pace of recovery in sales. On the other hand, the successful launch of India’s first Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) opened new avenues for investments in real estate while multiple government SOPs provided much relief to the housing sector.

Post the policy reforms of 2017 such as demonetization, RERA, and GST, the residential market is absorbing the impact of these changes and is on the path to recovery. India continues to retain its position as the world’s fastest major growing economy on the back of improved investor confidence and better policy reforms.

The growth of the Indian Real Estate Market in 2019 has been driven by numerous factors including technology, improved ease of doing business, dust settling post the implementation of reforms such as GST and RERA, and demand-supply dynamics, among others.

It is also expected that the real estate sector will incur more and more NRI Investments in both the short and long term.

In the year 2019, the realty sector has experienced its highs and lows. Affordable Housing performed beyond expectations within the residential segment, while the luxury apartments continued to witness subdued sales. On the other hand, the commercial segment saw most of the investment flowing in as the year comes to an end. Whereas, other asset classes such as warehousing, Coworking, and Co-living gained momentum.

Initiatives are taken By The Government

If we look back at 2019, we can not deny that the government did not make sincere efforts to strengthen the sector. A series of reforms and policy changes were adopted. Some of them are:

  • Reducing GST rates to 1% for affordable homes and 5% for under-construction flats/apartments
  • The announcements about NHB raising liquidity to the housing finance companies
  • Relaxation of External Commercial Borrowing (ECB) funds
  • Creation of Alternative Investment Fund of Rs 25,000 crore for Stalled Housing Projects
  • Successive Repo Rate cut coming to 9-years low (total 135 basis points in 2019)
  • Tax holiday to first time home buyers
  • Relaxation in FDI norms for a single brand retail
  • The government slashed the corporate tax rate to 25.17% from 30% for existing companies, and to 15% from 25% for new manufacturing companies.
  • In 2019, consolidation continued in the residential segment. Those developers who are either on the verge of insolvency or have their project stalled continued to re-enter the market through joint development, or mergers.
  • Technological advancement in real estate too increased in the last year.

Post-2017 reforms such as Real Estate (Development & Regulation) Act (RERA), the inventory pile-up kept increasing across markets. New launches had taken a hit. Increasing unsold inventory became a cause of concern as liquidity challenges coupled with RERA deadlines made it tougher to deliver the project. In spite of the odds, those with deep pockets or leading names in the realty sector continued to outperform in 2019.

Since the start of this calendar year, there is a decrease in unsold inventory, which is a positive sign for the industry’s revival. In 2020, this is likely to reduce further to healthy levels. Another crucial factor for improved sales was largely stagnant property prices. Going forward, we may witness investors, funds, and lenders showing confidence to finance future projects. If employment levels improve and inflation kept under check, the revival of the sector isn’t distant. The year 2020 may well be the turnaround year.

Market Size

The real estate sector in India is expected to reach a market size of US$ 1 trillion by 2030 from US$ 120 billion in 2017 and contribute 13% of the country’s GDP by 2025. Retail, hospitality and commercial real estate are also growing significantly, providing the much-needed infrastructure for India’s growing needs.

Housing Sector

As per the CBRE report, it is expected that out of the 2.3 lakh new unit launches in 2019 in the top 7 cities, nearly 40% or approximately 92,000 units were in the affordable segment, followed by mid-segment with a 33% share. The luxury and ultra-luxury segments amounted to the least share with 10% (approximately 23,000 new units). Apart from that, Center Approves 3.31 Lakh More Houses Under PMAY(U) to fulfill the housing needs of the Urban poorer.

  • Housing sales in 2019 saw a modest 4-5% annual growth with over 2.58 lakh homes sold during the year.
  • New housing launches in 2019 saw an 18-20% annual growth with over 2.3 lakh units.

Commercial Sector

As per the CBRE report, office leasing increased by more than 30% annually to cross 47 million sq.ft. during the first three quarters of 2019, exceeding its previous high of 2018. The leasing exercise reached about 15.4 million sq.ft. during Q3 2019, rising by nearly 23% on an annual basis.

Commercial office space continued to be the most sought-after asset class.

Forecast

Since the start of the year 2020, there is a drop in unsold inventory, which is a positive sign for the industry’s recovery. And it will probably see a growing trend in 2020. We expect the hurdles in the real estate sector to get resolved. Stagnant property prices was another factor for improved sales. Going ahead, we may clearly see investors, funds, and lending houses showing confidence to finance future projects. If employment levels improve and inflation remained under control, the recovery of the sector is not very far.

Are Compact Homes the Future of Indian Real Estate?

 

Today’s generation requires smart spaces with ease of furnishing. India is on its approach to grow into the world’s youngest nation. Our youth stimulates our economy, and the real estate segment is accurately in the midst of this growth path. Nevertheless, it’s not just a transformation in preferences. Another compelling idea following today’s generation turning towards compact housing is the sky-high costs, non-availability of land, and the Indian government’s “Housing for All by 2022” initiative.

Developers are also making a conscious effort to develop affordable houses for lower and middle-income groups and thus deliver the dream of owning a house to everyone.

The influx of young professionals in Tier I and Tier II cities

In the preceding decade, cities like Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi, NCR, and Chennai have seen an enormous influx of young professionals aged between 25-34, thereby, managing to a rush in demand for residential properties. Interestingly, these cities also appear to be the destinations that require large land parcels, which paves a way for efficient houses, with modern features, if not a huge floor plan.

The “Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana” factor

The government intends to build about 20 million affordable houses by March 2022, which has moreover cemented the position of compact housing in Indian real estate. These houses are equipped with all basic amenities, along with being affordable and compact. Not to mention, they arrive at reduced rates and a fleet of incentives. All the before-mentioned factors associate themselves with the future of Indian real estate that concentrates principally on compact housing. With a stronghold on today’s real estate and tremendous business potential, the compact housing segment is particularly expected to expand in the following years.
