Despite an economy growing at 8% and a buoyant real estate market, in a recent FICCI-Ernst & Young study called “Realty Decoded”, India was ranked fifth in the overall country index of attractiveness for foreign direct investors.
While China was ranked as the most attractive destination for FDI, two countries which are actually going through a prolonged recession — the US and the UK were placed second and third respectively while Singapore was in the fourth spot.
Interestingly all these countries lagged behind India when it came to the Country Development Index (denoting the rate of economic growth) and the Real Estate Market Index (denoting the demand supply situation). What pulled India's attractiveness down was the poor score it got on Regulatory Index which captures state of the regulatory environment and the low score for the Real Estate Industry Index which looks at the state of maturity and transparency of the industry.
Amit Mitra, Secretary General, FICCI, says, "With projections of over 8% growth expected this fiscal, investors are returning to India with greater confidence. The future of Indian real estate would significantly depend on investor friendly policies, clear and transparent regulatory framework for the sector."
Commenting on the study, Mayur Shah, MD, Marathon Realty says, "At $5 - 7 billion the volume that has come from FDI or NRI investments is still minuscule, whereas we need close to a $100 billion in the next few years." He however points out that there are many issues that need to be ironed out to keep the momentum on. "We need to really work on our laws and straighten them as soon as we can. Easier availability of land and higher FSI would enable us to build more. The approvals should come faster and the hurdles of funding should be removed."
"We are spending too much time worrying if bubbles will form in case we let more lands to develop too soon. What we fail to see is that it will increase supply and reduce the gap sooner, which would even out the tendency for the prices to spiral," Shah adds.
Jayant Gehi, Assistant Vice President, Supreme Universal points out that the exit points for investors and the size of investment also constrain the investors in locations such as Mumbai and Delhi where large -sized projects are difficult to come across. "This restricts participation in the bulk of the development happening currently. The limitation has boosted investment in tier II locations such as Pune, Hyderabad and Bangalore where larger land parcels are available," he says.
International property consultants say that going forward much will depend on the way the functioning of the industry and the laws pan out. Santhosh Kumar, CEO - Operations, Jones Lang LaSalle, India, says, "The level of interest that foreign investors will display in Indian real estate will depend significantly on the market's growth and potential for growth. We are seeing economic recovery, and this is doing much to reinvigorate the interest of foreign investors in India's real estate market. However, we still need to edge up the transparency ladder, get more proactive on completing pending infrastructure projects and provide faster clearances for large developments. In other words, the issue does not hinge solely on what the Indian real estate has to offer to global investors, but also on what confidence it inspires in them to invest into it."
Gulam Zia, National Director, Research and Advisory Services, Knight Frank, India is more cautious "Although the real estate is attracting better FDI, it is not significant yet as the investors are still wary. Too many delays, false promises and confusing laws make it difficult for them to bolster confidence.
"The most worrying issue has been valuations which are mostly projected at unrealistic levels. The returns have not been too satisfactory and project delays have given further jitters. The other issue has been the lack of clarity surrounding land titles. There is a need for good and uniform regulations to tackle these issues, and these need to be addressed at the earliest,"says Zia.
Rajiv Sahni, Partner, Transaction Advisory Services, Ernst & Young, India, in his foreword to the report sums the situation succinctly. "With fears of another collapse looming large, growing Eastern European, certain Western European
and Dubai markets walking a tightrope, and a real estate bubble potentially threatening China due to oversupply, experts continue to express serious concerns around sustainable revival in the near term." "Closer to home, rising real estate prices have raised an alarm, highlighting the need for developers to employ new money judiciously to complete projects and provide timely exits to private equity players in order to restore confidence in the Indian growth story. With the IPO /entity level market still under pressure, a testing period awaits the Indian developer community," says Rajiv Sahni.
Sahni highlights the role by the government and regulators like the Reserve Bank of India by saying, "Careful planning by the Government of India and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to control inflation, make finance available to actual users on reasonable terms, enforce accountability and create a climate that is conducive to transparency will be imperative to ensure that there is no tailspin from recent events and that India achieves its vision of affordable housing for all."
The report concludes that "With real estate markets across the globe vacillating between boom and bust phases, we are certainly in the throes of exciting times. The world is becoming smaller, as is the real estate industry across the globe. With the floodgates for investment in real estate being more open than ever before, the time is ideal for investors to take advantage of the opportunities being offered."

IF YOU ARE THINKING OF DEDICATING A PORTION OF YOUR HOME FOR OFFICE SPACE, DESIGN IT CAREFULLY TO CREATE A LONG-TERM ASSET
Designing your home office includes many elements to be considered.
Distance to the door
• If you are working out of your home it is likely that you would have clients flowing in and out. So ideally the proximity to the door should be such that it avoids going around the house. Choose a place that has direct access.
Privacy
• You don't want to work in the din and bustle of household chores where the TV is blaring, children are playing around and people are running to the kitchen to make food. So make sure you choose a place that keeps the privacy intact for you to work efficiently even out of your house.
Sound-proof
• A special sound-proof wall can help in keeping the extra sound at bay and bring some more peace to the work environment.
Power fix
• The electrical requirements of an office differ from those of a home. Power strips are not e n o u g h . You may re q u i re h i g h e r power consumption and should plan the equipment accordingly. In fact, it would be better to consult a technician and take an expert view on the same.
Furniture
• Theoffice space needs a definitive set of furniture to house your basic office ware. Be it files, folders, documents, books - there are many things that need to be stocked depending on the nature of the work. Make sure the equipment you require fits in to the space allocated for work. If the space is limited, you can opt for sleeker equipment.
Decorate
• The office may be at home but you can always decorate it tastefully to add some zing to the workplace, especially if you are going to be spending a lot of time here. Bring together some of your favourite artifacts and hang them up on your office wall or paint your office space in an exotic colour. Make it look different. QUICK BITES

It's time to take advantage of the Navratras, which tend to spur real estate activity The mild golden sunny days and cool pleasant evenings, pointers
The Navaratras, which began yesterday, usher in the festive season, marked most prominently by Dusshera and Diwali. This time is also considered one of the most auspicious periods in the year.
Many believe that anything that is started during this time is endowed with divine blessings and is beneficial for the people involved. As it is in most spheres of life and business, the effect can also be seen in the real estate market.
Real estate agents feel that property transactions peak with the beginning of the Navaratras and the trend continues right till the end of January. Central Delhi-based Arun Bakshi of Bakshi Estates says property transactions go up by 25 per cent in the period. He feels that this is because most people in the north are deeply religious and revere the Navaratras, which are dedicated to the Hindu goddess Durga. People scout for properties, weeks in advance, and often wait for the Navaratras, Dussehra or even Diwali to get the purchase registered. So, whether it is a residential flat or a row house, a commercial property or even a plot, most buyers prefer to close the deal during this period. Doubly special Prof Hari Har Trivedi, a senior professor at New Delhi's Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri Rashtriya Sanskrit Vidyapeeth, says that among the four Navaratras celebrated during the year, the ongoing Sharad Navaratra is considered the most auspicious.
The four Navratras are: Vasanta Navaratra, which falls in the spring season in the month of Chaitra around March-April, Ashadha Navaratra, also called Gupta Navaratra falling in the Ashadha month during JuneJuly, Sharad Navratra in the Ashvin month (currently on) and the Magha Navaratra, also called Gupta Navaratras, in the Magha month around January-February.
Sharad Navaratra is also called Maha Navratra. This is the busiest period in the property sector in terms of buying and selling, says south Delhi-based property agent G Prabhakar of RL Services in Vasant Vihar.
Sellers too keep the pressure up because they prefer to sell property during this time. Quite a lot of them sell one property and invest the gains in another. Thus it is not surprising that everyone in this sphere -buyer, seller or agent -wants to make the most of this time.

SOME IDEAS TO ENHANCE DECOR IN THE DINING AREA
In today's time, a spacious living area with a large dining room is almost a thing of the past. It is never easy to find enough space to set aside an entire room just to eat in. However, if you are planning to build a house, it is still worth the expense to create a separate dining room. However, these days an open kitchen and a living-cumdining space is the trend people opt for due to space constrains, especially in flats. In most houses, the dining room doesn't really get the attention it deserves. It is regarded as a purely utilitarian space, one with a purely functional value. Actually, a dining room deserves better. Dressing a dining area requires imagination and creativity.
A small dining table, shining cutlery, a dim lamp and delicious food in the corner adds new dimensions to yourhome and the dining area can act as a perfect area for formal and informal gatherings. To start with, go in for the table that serves your purpose and fits well into the area.
Adding a dining cabinet complementing the furniture can be multi-functional. Cutlery and crockery can be safely kept inside the cabinet while a huge vase or any designer lamp can enhance the chic quotient of the dining area. The personal dining area can easily become a part of formal occasion or get-togethers. Adding an elegant tablecloth to the table with dining accessories like tablemats, napkin rings, stylish cutlery and a small centre-piece for decoration transforms the looks of your dining area. For a small gathering dinner can be arranged on the table itself but if the number of guests increases considerably, the dining table can be turned into a stand alone table offering buffet.
The market is flooded with tablecloth in different fabrics and colours. In spring the shades of blue sounds appealing whereas light shades are the best for the summers.
The decor of a dining room needs to be pleasant. Depending on the size ofthe dining room, the colour schemes and decor should be decided. For instance, a smaller room is best decorated using lighter shades both for the walls as well as furniture. Heavy carving and dark wood would make the room appear smaller. Go in for minimalist decor with a light table, minimal light fixtures, and plain walls. The colour scheme and furniture choice can ensure the room is pleasing while the multi-purpose functionality of the dining space is retained. A larger room can afford heavily carved furniture using dark wood, elaborate light fittings and decorations.
It is better to avoid carpets here, as they tend to gather dust. Also, spills are difficult to clean. Light-coloured floors are suitable here.
Light must be given special attention. Ceiling pendant lights can be circular, rectangular or square depending on your table shape.
Fruits, candles, crystals or ceramic, all complement the area well but an individual's touch of choosing and placing accessories can turn the regular arrangement into an extra-ordinary dining setting. A large dining room can accommodate a piece of sculpture or an elegant floorlamp standing in a corner. Or an urli filled with water and floating flowers either placed on the floor or on a sidetable, depending on the area available. A healthy green plant within an elegant container also adds to aesthetics of the room. A terrarium has the same positive effect. If your dining and drawing room are seamlessly flowing into one another, you can go for a divider which can be an intricately carved wooden one a can serve as a striking decor object.
A dining room is about lifestyle. So go ahead and create a personal space. You will cherish it always.

GET A CASCADING EFFECT ON YOUR WALLS THROUGH WALLMOUNTED WATER FEATURES
Having a plain surface wall painted in a single colour is passé, it needs to have more than just colour or smoothness - it needs to have art in some form or function to express your individuality.
Hanging a painting on the wall is also a great way to excite the viewer. Art is a great new wave, but it should be personal, intimate, fun, displayable and changeable. Make a space that is intrinsically yours and express who you are through your walls.
The wall is the biggest and most visible space within a home that is not taken up with furniture or even other utilitarian items - one doesn't need it for any purpose other than keeping the roof above your head and the elements from finding their way in - so using it as a space to express your creativity is the best way to maximise its potential.
Water falls
Get a cascading effect on your walls through wallmounted water features.
There are many designs to choose from such as the traditional lions head and cherub wall fountains to the more contemporary and modern wall mounted fountains. Wall fountains are among the more sophisticated fountains that are available today. They come in a range of materials and can suit can decor type.
Glass wall fountains, when hung on the right wall will give off shimmering reflections of the gently flowing water as it softly cascades over the glass or mirror. Add the beautiful waterfall sounds and you will have a magnificent soothing wall mounted fountain.
For contemporary spaces, where fussy works of art or decorative objects are excluded and more simple and linear choices favoured, hanging fountains are perfect. For a slightly different look, consider hanging an art wall fountain, wherein waterfalls overlay actual oil paintings. The flow of water combined with some of the fountains optional lighting creates something special.
Variety
Fountains in slate are called the antique copper fountain. A mirror when added to this piece will reflect the natural beauty of flowing water through out the room. This fountain can also double as a nicely framed mirror when turned off. Adjustable base and up lighting allow for any type of mood setting.
For modern taste, a black single-stone unit is just the right fountain. Constructed from industrial-grade rounded stainless steel that has a natural tarnish resistant finish, this fountain has a sleek hand cut black slate face. Long lasting halogen lighting hidden under the hood contributes a cool glow to dimly light rooms. They can measure over four feet tall and two feet wide.
Stainless steel wall fountains represent the pinnacle of modern home design, not just for their incredibly sleek and sophisticated appearance, but also for their serenity and their ability to accommodate a relaxing atmosphere anywhere in the home. The gentle bubbling and trickling of a stainless steel fountain will accommodate a serene and tranquil atmosphere in your home, improving your focus and relaxation.

Faridabad is taking long strides to match the realty might of Gurgaon and Noida
Surprisingly, you will not be able to find even a trace of Shaikh Farid, the founder of Faridabad, in the bustling city at a shouting distance from South Delhi. Shaikh Farid, who was a chieftain of the Mughal emperor Jahangir, built this place in the 16th century. Since then, Faridabad has seen many high and lows. After the Partition of the country, it was allotted to refugees from Bannu now Pakistan. And then due to a visionary ICS officer, Sudhir Bose, and young entrepreneurs like S P Puri of Thomson Press, H P Nanda of Escorts, M L Manchanda, and others, Faridabad grew in to a very promising industrial hub. Of course, while the salad days of Faridabad as an industrial hub have long since ceased, it has emerged as the most sought-after cities in NCR over the years.
Currently, it is witnessing a flurry of activity in the real estate sector. A developing city in Haryana on Aravali hill range, it has immense prospects for growth. It is witnessing the same growth as witnessed in Gurgaon and Noida in the recent past. The location of the city is also convenient as it is just 25km from the Connaught Place. This factor is working well for the city and consequently, Faridabad has seen a number of real estate developers swarming round it.
According to Sanjay Singh of Century 21, Naharpar area or the Greater Faridabad is an ideal place to invest. Sector 86 in Faridabad is commonly known as Naharpar area. Though infrastructure is still not very great here, talks are that once the proposed infrastructure is put in place this is going to be one of the best locations in the NCR. Price of land in Naharpar sectors is around Rs 15,000 per sq yd, in Sector 21C it is around Rs 23,000 per sq yd and in Sector 46 the range is between Rs 21,000 and Rs 22, 0000 per sq yd. Among the sectors that have greater potential are Sectors 88 and 89, which are in demand as they will be close to two highways to be built soon.
Meanwhile, experts also say that people should beware of the jargons like 'super built up area' and 'carpet area'. Do a thorough research before investing your hardearned money.
The infrastructures that will help in development of Faridabad include the Taj Expressway (which will be near Sector 80), and a highway starting from Kalindi Kunj and running parallel to Mathura Road, which will bypass the city. An official of HUDA says: "We are now focusing on the development of Faridabad. We are planning one new bypass for which we are acquiring land. People going towards Agra can now use this bypass to go through Surajkund and directly reach national highway across Sectors 58, 59. We are also widening the existing bypass at Sector 37 at a cost of Rs 118 crore, which includes the construction of one flyover over it."
Sameer Jasuja, MD of PropEquity, says that Sector 75 near Agra canal is going to be the next commercial hub of Faridabad. The good thing is that local administration is taking care of greenery.
An official of Ansal API says that when the Badarpur flyover will be completed, the access will be more comfortable and the plan for a Metro line there will lend wings to the realty sector. The freight corridor is also in the vicinity, with the catchments area being Faridabad and a planned HSIIDC's commercial hub is near here. All this is going to add up to the importance of the place in realty terms. While several shopping malls are under construction, Faridabad is likely to have more than 40 such spots over the next few years.
"These changes can be seen in terms of floating of new sectors with a public and private sector partnership; setting up new institutional sectors; witnessing changes in the skyline by developing a new urban development policy, adding new high-tech electronic and communication units and IT parks; and better road and transport facilities," says Avneesh Sood, director of Eros group.
Sameer Jasuja adds: "There is not much infrastructure here but we can look at the example of an area like Indirapuram, which used to be a neglected region a few years ago. The industrial city with about 300 large and 10,000 small-scale industries under its belt has always been underpriced. But now the situation is changing. It has swanky residential and commercial projects and they are in various stages of development."
The area will come into prominence once the planned flyover at Badarpur border is complete. As the area will be decongested more and more important companies will move towards Faridabad given the high rates at Jasola.
Surinder Gambhir, a realty expert, feels: "Initiatives from the Haryana government is also one of the prime factors behind spatial economic developmental changes here. The real estate boom is also transforming the skyline of Faridabad."
Notwithstanding the fact that there are some doubts about the delivery time, there can be no two opinions that a property in Greater Faridabad will be a prized possession after four-five years.

Currently, it is witnessing a flurry of activity in the real estate sector. A developing city in Haryana on Aravali hill range, it has immense prospects for growth. It is witnessing the same growth as witnessed in Gurgaon and Noida in the recent past. The location of the city is also convenient as it is just 25km from the Connaught Place. This factor is working well for the city and consequently, Faridabad has seen a number of real estate developers swarming round it.
According to Sanjay Singh of Century 21, Naharpar area or the Greater Faridabad is an ideal place to invest. Sector 86 in Faridabad is commonly known as Naharpar area. Though infrastructure is still not very great here, talks are that once the proposed infrastructure is put in place this is going to be one of the best locations in the NCR. Price of land in Naharpar sectors is around Rs 15,000 per sq yd, in Sector 21C it is around Rs 23,000 per sq yd and in Sector 46 the range is between Rs 21,000 and Rs 22, 0000 per sq yd. Among the sectors that have greater potential are Sectors 88 and 89, which are in demand as they will be close to two highways to be built soon.
Meanwhile, experts also say that people should beware of the jargons like 'super built up area' and 'carpet area'. Do a thorough research before investing your hardearned money.
The infrastructures that will help in development of Faridabad include the Taj Expressway (which will be near Sector 80), and a highway starting from Kalindi Kunj and running parallel to Mathura Road, which will bypass the city. An official of HUDA says: "We are now focusing on the development of Faridabad. We are planning one new bypass for which we are acquiring land. People going towards Agra can now use this bypass to go through Surajkund and directly reach national highway across Sectors 58, 59. We are also widening the existing bypass at Sector 37 at a cost of Rs 118 crore, which includes the construction of one flyover over it."
Sameer Jasuja, MD of PropEquity, says that Sector 75 near Agra canal is going to be the next commercial hub of Faridabad. The good thing is that local administration is taking care of greenery.
An official of Ansal API says that when the Badarpur flyover will be completed, the access will be more comfortable and the plan for a Metro line there will lend wings to the realty sector. The freight corridor is also in the vicinity, with the catchments area being Faridabad and a planned HSIIDC's commercial hub is near here. All this is going to add up to the importance of the place in realty terms. While several shopping malls are under construction, Faridabad is likely to have more than 40 such spots over the next few years.
