The ancient Chinese curse, 'May you live in interesting times,' certainly has a lot of pertinence to the Indian real estate today. These are doubtlessly the interesting times for the sector, which has transformed significantly over the last decade.

We need global capital for India’s infrastructure projects
Until recently, we used to talk about the cost of funds being too high and, as you are aware, some infrastructure projects have a long gestation period. There is a period of construction and then there are cost overruns and delays.
India is on the cusp of large-scale urbanisation
Infrastructure status for affordable housing was a long-standing requirement of the sector. This move should boost the volume of construction activity across the country, which has been struggling with reduction in the number of projects being launched over the last few quarters.

We have a lot of positive expectations from the upcoming Budget 2016-17. My thoughts are focussed on three major points - transparency on GST, encouraging the Real Estate Regulation Act (RERA), and REIT.
Weathering the cash disruption
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.

India will need $1.5 trillion of investment in infrastructure over the next 10 years. Of this nearly $10 billion is required in sewage treatment plants. Similarly, about $8 billion is required to be invested in ensuring regular drinking water supply.
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.
MEP Infra may file papers for InvIT
MEP Infrastructure Developers hopes to file initial documents in December to launch its infrastructure investment trust (InvIT), according to MEP's Vice-Chairman and Managing Director Jayant Mhaiskar.
GMR, MEP Infra & IRB Infra to launch infra investment trusts
SEBI had issued guidelines a couple of years back for infrastructure investment trusts (InvITs). The markets regulator has now granted permission to three companies — IRB Infrastructure, GMR and MEP Infrastructure — to launch the trusts.
Developers will be able to get rid of their excess baggage
We are almost there both with REIT and InvIT. They have been in the pipeline for quite some time. The government has taken the initiative to come out with proper SEBI regulations, which itself is the very first step towards REITs and InvITs.
