Birla Sun Life to invest in real estate projects in Mumbai and Chennai

Comments(3) Sub Category:Realty News Posted On: May 24, 2011

Birla Sunlife to put Rs 250 cr in realty— three in Mumbai and one in Chennai —through its realty-focused fund.

Birla Sun Life to invest in three real estate projects in Western suburbs of Mumbai and one real estate project in Chennai. “We have clocked around 20% return on our investment and hope to do the same with the new investment,” said Shashi Kumar, head, Real Estate Investment Advisory, Birla Sun Life Asset Management. “In Mumbai, the residential projects are in Western suburbs and we should conclude the deals within three months.”

However, sceptics say that a 20% year on year return for investors may not be possible in Mumbai due to steep prices and lower demand at these price points.

“Developers are demanding Rs 12,000 per sq ft price in Borivali (west) as of now. So it is not possible that any investor whether PE player or retail should fetch 20% year on year return on investment as prices would not increase that fast from here on,” said a senior analyst with an international real estate consultancy.

The mandate for the company is to deploy Rs 1100 crore with in three years in realty sector. The company has already invested Rs 225 crore in the sector.

Industry experts are wary about investment in real estate especially in Mumbai, where prices have gone up by as much as 40% since 2010. This is only lower (in percentage term) than Ahmedabad, where prices have increased by over 60% in the same period.

“The investment in the real estate is slow in Mumbai because there are no approvals from the government. Also a lot of ambiguity surrounds some laws like floor space index (FSI) and also how the government itself is selling land parcels at steep prices, pushing the prices up,” added Kumar.

    In improving your kitchen, you should also give consideration to the windows. Of course, light and insulation are the common concerns for a kitchen! So windows and doors are very important in improving a kitchen.
