There is never a dull moment in real estate. 2016 began promisingly in comparison to 2015; however, as things stand, the year isn´t expected to end on a healthy note. A major factor for this could be attributed to the policy developments by the government, which in the short term have led to an unpredictable disruption, but in the long run are projected to augur well for the industry as a whole.

GST, demonetisation may hit aviation sector
The GST which is expected to be rolled out in 2017 and the on-going demonetisation drive could impact the growth prospects of the domestic aviation industry in the next fiscal, the Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation (CAPA) has warned.
The Post GST Logistics of BIGGER WAREHOUSING
India´s burgeoning logistics and warehousing sector is set for an explosive growth trajectory, in the wake of the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime.
Power Equations
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the Goods and Services Tax (GST) holds the potential to improve India´s energy efficiency by enabling more efficient long-haul transportation across India. He was speaking after inaugurating the Petrotech 2016 conference on December 5, 2016, in New Delhi where he added, ´At the moment, the piped natural gas network in India is 15,000 km in length.
Recovery from demonetisation is a foregone conclusion
There is definitely going be a short-term impact of demonetisation on the industry. The November 2016 sales of two-wheelers, four-wheelers and the automotive industry in general has taken a beating.
The Indian logistics sector has come of age
The warehousing sector has seen minimal growth in India during the past decade or so. However, the last four-five years have been eventful for the sector which has witnessed a tremendous surge in business activities and foreign investments.
For the first time in 70 years, logistics personnel are getting trained
The Logistics Sector Skill Council (LSC) trains candidates at the entry level for the warehousing sub sector. Training is done on specific job roles such as pickers/ packers/ binning /kitting/labelling and forklift and reach truck operators, and warehouse supervisors i.e., an ´outcome´ based training, which ensures candidates are job ready from day one.
The warehousing sector is going to experience a sea change in its structure
With the total warehousing space requirement in the country´s top seven markets expected to grow from 621 mn sq ft in 2016 to 839 mn sq ft by 2020, the warehousing sector has shown tremendous traction in the past couple of years. Further, investment in warehousing can provide an opportunity of realising returns in the range of 10-24 per cent per annum.
GST will help companies reduce logistics costs by up to 1.5percent
According to me every move has an advantage and a disadvantage. The business success depends on the ability of a company to factor in variables and continue to stand firm.
GST will reduce the share of the unorganised sector in warehousing
The GST is a value-added tax that will replace all other indirect taxes in India. One purpose of the GST is to make taxes ´destination´ based rather than origin based, or ´efficiency´ based rather than ´regulation´ based.
